Abstract

The article is timed to coincide with two jubilees: the 90th anniversary of the Faculty of History of Moscow University (2024) and the 270th anniversary of Lomonosov Moscow State University (2025). It covers the fundamental issues of the training of historians at the Faculty of History of Moscow State University. A number of problems related to the transition to a new system of education is concerned, which will be introduced instead of the two-tier model of bachelor’s and master’s degrees that has existed for almost a decade and a half. It is noted that the new system will be a development of the integrated master’s program implemented at MSU, which proves the correctness of the course taken at the university for a full cycle and continuity of higher education. The author also gives due consideration to the impending reform of the training of scientific personnel in postgraduate studies and within the framework of the procedure for obtaining a PhD candidate degree without enrolment in a doctoral program. He considers the results of the introduction of the system of own doctoral examining boards at MSU, emphasizing its advantages in comparison with the system of doctoral examining boards of the Higher Attestation Commission of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia, and highlighting the ways of solving the problems arising in connection with their activity. The publication program of the Faculty, as part of the series “Proceedings of the Faculty of History of MSU” is described, and the scientific journals published by the Faculty are also presented. The work of the Faculty and its employees within the framework of the MSU Scientifi c and Educational School “Preservation of the World Cultural and Historical Heritage” is presented in detail. It is noteworthy that the Faculty actively engages in all aspects of the School’s endeavors, including the implementation of interdepartmental and interdisciplinary master’s programs, as well as scientific research within the framework of grants. Approximately 40 faculty members have been s elected as recipients of these grants within the School’s domains of activity, namely “Preservation of the World Cultural and Historical Heritage” and “Fundamental and Applied Space Research”. The staff and students of the Faculty of History have contributed signifi cantly to the implementation of Moscow State University’s strategic project, “The Golden Fund of MSU”, which focuses on the study and description of unique collections held by the University, as well as the publication of their catalogues. The article provides information on the faculty’s contributions to the preparations for the 270th anniversary of Moscow University
