History

The Saint Petersburg State University of Telecommunications was established in 1930 under the name ''Leningrad Institute of Communication Engineers''. Its history is associated closely with the development of Russian and world science in the communications area, and with a great scientific and technical base.

From 1931 to 1940, the Russian scientist in radio mechanics and corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Professor Mikhail Bonch-Bruevich, was the Head of the Chair of theoretical radio engineering in the Leningrad Electro-Technical Institute. He was a doctor of technical sciences, one of the originators o
Spark Discharge Theory
as well as the Theory of Radio wave Transmission in the Upper Atmosphere, and creator of the first electronic tubes, radio-telephone transmitters, radio-telephone tube stations, etc. In honor of Professor Bonch-Bruevich's scientific contributions, and in accordance with the USSR Council of People's Commissars' Decree of 8 June 1940, the ''Leningrad Institute of Communication Engineers'' was renamed as the ''Leningrad Electro-Technical Institute of Communications (LEIC), named after Bonch-Bruevich''.

In 1993, SUT was reconstituted, and gained its new status as the ''Bonch-Bruevich Saint Petersburg State University of Telecommunications'', by order of the Ministry of Communication of Russian Federation. New chairs were created: digital signal processing, communication networks, information safety of telecommunication systems, biomedical technology, information-managing systems, global information technologies, global info-communication networks and systems.
