Pyatigorsk State University (PSU)

The date of foundation of Pyatigorsk State University is considered to be June 27, 1939, when the Pedagogical School officially became a higher educational institution. Since then, the university has undergone various changes and transformations - an increase in the number of years of study, several renamings - and officially became known as Pyatigorsk State University in 2016. Since 2005, the head of the university is Professor Gorbunov Alexander Pavlovich. By 2009, 10 faculties were formed at the university. Further, on their basis, institutes and higher schools were created, having one of the faculties in their composition. In addition, PSU is actively developing the system of pre-university, postgraduate and additional education. It has a branch in Novorossiysk. Currently, the university has 34 departments. Now Pyatigorsk State University has more than 5,500 students and 3,000 students from different regions of Russia and foreign countries. All the peoples of the Caucasus are also represented in PSU.

Last weekend, students of IIYMT PSU took part in the historical “Scyth-fest” of the South of Russia.

The festival “Heritage of steppes and mountains” gathered antiquities lovers on the Tatar settlement.

The Tatar settlement is the largest archaeological monument not only of the region, but also of the entire Precaucasia, miraculously preserved in the vicinity of Stavropol. Here underground preserved the fortresses and crypts of the ancient city, whose name has yet to be determined. It was here that one of the northern highways of the Great Silk Road passed.

This is a really significant place, because the Tatar settlement is the historical predecessor of the city of Stavropol!

It is important to remember that each generation is the custodian of memory. Preserving the Scythian heritage, we preserve our roots and our history!
