History

In 1924, the Lenin Training Campus (LUG) was opened in Nalchik, which was located in a building later transferred to the medical faculty. In 1925, a medical school was opened there, as well as courses for tractor drivers, an agricultural school, and a political school. In 1931, on the basis of LUG, the Pedagogical Faculty began work. LUG reorganized into the Lenin party educational campus, which was disbanded in 1936. On July 7, 1932, at the request of the Kabardino-Balkarian Regional Communist Party Committee, the Pedagogical Institute was opened. On the basis of the pedagogical institute in 1957, Kabardino-Balkarian State University was formed. In accordance with the order of the Minister of Higher and Secondary Education of the USSR V. B. Elyutin, on September 1, 1957, Kabardino-Balkarian State University began its work in 4 faculties: * Historical and philological * Physical and mathematical * Civil engineering * Agricultural In total, there were 21 departments that trained not only school teachers, including foreign language teachers, but also civil engineers and educational agronomists. For achievements in the training of qualified specialists and the development of scientific research, Kabardino-Balkarian State University was awarded the Order of Friendship of Peoples in 1982. On December 30, 1996, by the Decree of the President of the KBR, it was named after his first rector Khatuta Mutovich Berbekov. KBSU is one of the leading scientific, educational, informational, social and cultural centers of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, and annually graduates up to two thousand specialists. In terms of equipment it occupies leading positions among other classical universities of Russia.
