Today, June 9, marks 353 years since the birth of Peter I, the first Emperor of All Russia, the founder of St. Petersburg and a talented engineer, whose name our university proudly bears.
The indomitable spirit, wisdom and foresight of Peter I forever changed the course of our country’s history. His large-scale reforms covered all aspects of public life in the Russian Empire and had a significant impact on the country’s further development. The Emperor laid the foundation for the modern state structure of Russia, formed a regular army and navy, and introduced a new education system.
In 2015, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation issued an order to return the name of Peter the Great to our university, which was lost after the October Revolution. A year later, a ceremonial opening of a monument to Peter I took place in front of the main academic building of SPbPU.
The Polytechnic University proudly continues the great work of the Emperor – to develop science and technology, to prepare personnel for the future of our country. His example inspires polytechnics to be just as purposeful, dedicated to their work and striving for perfection.
Happy birthday, Peter the Great!
