About the university
On June 9, 1912, the law “On the Establishment of the Agricultural Institute of Emperor Peter I in Voronezh”, initiated by the Voronezh Zemstvo, representatives of its public in the State Council, the Government, and the State Duma, came into force. The bill, prepared by the Main Directorate of Land Management and Agriculture and approved by the deputies of the Duma, was presented to Emperor Nicholas II and signed by him.
Voronezh State Agrarian University is not only the first university in the Central Chernozem region. At the time of the establishment of the All-Union Agricultural Institute in the Russian Empire, there were only two universities with the rank of a higher educational institution - the Moscow Agricultural Institute and the Novo-Alexandria Institute of Agriculture and Forestry. Within the modern borders of the Russian Federation, only the Timiryazev Agricultural Academy (former Moscow Agricultural Institute) is older than the Voronezh Agricultural Institute - VSAU.
The founding of the All-Union Agricultural Institute in 1912 marked the beginning of the implementation of the Plan for the Establishment of Higher Agricultural Schools in the Empire, approved in 1910 by the Main Directorate of Land Management and Agriculture. Recognizing the expediency of regional distribution of higher agronomic schools in Russia, the Agricultural Management Council considered it necessary to establish agricultural institutes in Tomsk, Saratov, Odessa, Kazan, Yekaterinoslavl, Perm. However, Voronezh opened this list. By a large majority of votes, the Agricultural Council "selected Voronezh for the immediate establishment of an agricultural institute, which would serve primarily the Black Earth Center of Russia." Considerations were expressed that "it is necessary to give preference to the Black Earth Center, which gave so much to the Empire, but was exhausted by frequent crop failures and especially in need of serious improvements in its agricultural system."
More than a hundred prominent figures of Russia - representatives of science, education, culture, the highest authorities sent their congratulations to Voronezh on the occasion of the founding of the Agricultural Institute. In accordance with a unique project, the architectural ensemble of the All-Russian Agricultural Institute was built, which is now an architectural monument. The Institute was created as a monument to the outstanding deeds of the great reformer of Russia - Peter the Great.
For all its 97 years, the Voronezh Agricultural Institute has been a part of the history of the country, sharing with it the bitterness of defeats, losses and the joy of successes and victories. The difficult, but creatively interesting fate of the university was shared with him by such famous scientists, teachers, organizers of science as: N. A. Uspensky, P. V. Karpenko, V. F. Leisle, S. G. Bogoyavlensky, M. S. Tsyganov , A. N. Veniaminov, G. V. Korenev, V. Ya. Zapletin, V. I. Markovsky, E. M. Kharitonchik, A. S. Kurakin, M. A. Smolyaninov, V. V. Ferdenandov A. Tapilsky, V. N. Avrorov, V. A. Akatov, V. T. Kotov, Ya. I. Shneiberg, L. I. Lyuboshits, O. F. Lopatina, G. A. Tishchenkov, V. I . Logunov and others.
Many university veterans are still passing on their experience and knowledge to the younger generation of agricultural university workers, meeting the 97th anniversary of the All-Russian Agricultural Institute - VGAU in the labor system.
Today VSHI - VSAU is a living, dynamically developing organism, an active participant in the processes of modernization of all aspects of the life of Russian society. The foundation of the agricultural university's success in teaching, educational, research work is the solidarity of its team around the glorious traditions of the university, which is celebrating its 97th anniversary.

Story
Voronezh State Agrarian University was founded in 1913. The All-Russian Agricultural Institute allocated a territory in Troitskaya Sloboda with an area of 580 hectares and 33 hectares of forest. These plots became the property of the educational institution and were used without paying taxes. The first rector of the All-Union Agricultural Institute was Konstantin Dmitrievich Glinka.
Since when the Institute was founded, it was named after Emperor Peter I, it was decided to build the main building in the Baroque style.
The project of the institute was calculated taking into account that in the fourth year after its foundation the number of students would be about 600 people. But due to the outbreak of the First World War, in which Russia was at war with Kaiser's Germany, funding for the construction was limited. In 1917, only the chemical corps was ready, and the number of students was only 300 people. At that time, the agronomic and forestry departments worked. However, already in 1918, at a meeting of the Council of People's Commissars, it was decided to further finance the institute.
In 1922 VSHI included women's agronomy courses with two departments: economics and land. In the future, the latter will be renamed land management, and it will become the basis of the new faculty. The changes also affected the forest department, which was transformed into a faculty.
At the end of the civil war, postgraduate studies rapidly developed at the institute. Doctoral dissertations were defended by such outstanding professors as D.F. Kozyrev, N.P. Aleksandrov and many others. In 1925 compared to 1917. the number of students was increased almost 3 times and already amounted to 831 people. In the same period, the construction of all buildings of the All-Union Agricultural Institute was completed. However, the educational process in them did not last long: during the Second World War, all the universities of Voronezh were evacuated to the Altai Territory, and the agricultural institute also went there.
In 1951 On the basis of the educational institution, the Faculty of Economics was opened, which trained accountants and economists.
In 1991 SHI received the status of a university, and on February 13, 1991. by the decision of the Councils of Ministers, the university was named after the first rector - K.D. Glinka.

39 people defended doctoral dissertations, 297 people received a PhD;
published more than 120 monographs, 29 textbooks, 63 collections of scientific papers.
The research part is the main unit involved in research work. NIC was founded in 1991. Its structure includes: an experimental agricultural station, a biotechnology laboratory, a consulting center, student scientific organizations, and limited liability companies.
Prospects for VSAU graduations
Currently, there is a trend of shortage of specialists in the agro-industrial complex. This is exactly the sector of the economy that will develop rapidly. But this requires highly qualified specialists who are well versed in modern technologies. Therefore, today's applicants will not have problems with employment in the future. Even future veterinarians will always be provided with work. After all, this profession, previously in demand only in the field of agriculture, is becoming more and more in demand: it is always necessary to treat pets, of which there are more and more in recent years.
