University named after F. Skorina (Gomel) is traditionally considered one of the most prestigious and respected higher educational institutions in Belarus. This is not only the main educational institution in the territory of Belarusian Polesie, but also a large scientific center that has received recognition from many foreign universities. What should you know about this university? When was it discovered and what types of sciences is its name associated with?
Pedagogical Institute in Gomel - the beginning of higher education
The university in Gomel appeared in 1929, when the Soviet authorities decided to take up the construction of educational infrastructure in Belarusian Polesie. Then the Agropedagogical Institute arose, providing three areas of training for secondary school specialists: physico-technical, socio-historical, literary and linguistic.
The first graduates of this institution studied only two courses, but subsequently the study time increased to three years, and then to four. The Institute trained teaching staff for local schools with a secondary level of education in such disciplines as mathematics, physics, chemistry, and natural history. Since 1939, the university bore the name of the famous pilot V.P. Chkalov.
From institute to university
Thirty years of painstaking work went into training teachers of various specialties. The institute performed well before it was awarded the title of State University in 1969. In fact, it was only the second institution of this rank in the country after Minsk BSU. Raising the status of the university was of great importance for a city like Gomel. Skorina University, whose faculties allow you to choose both technical and humanities, provides a wide range of specializations of a classical higher education institution. Even then he was very popular among students.
With the advent of perestroika times and the revision of opinions and views about the Belarusian people and their culture, the university was renamed in 1988, giving it the name of the famous enlightener-humanist of Eastern Europe of the 16th century, Francis Skorina. Since that time, Skaryna University in Gomel has existed unchanged to this day.
Gomel University today
Skorina University (Gomel) has a serious teaching staff. Today, about 650 scientists teach at this university, among whom 39 have the title of Doctor of Science, 34 - professors. Corresponding members of the NAS also work here. Every year, admission to master's and postgraduate courses at the university is also carried out. Five specialties can defend their candidate's theses at this institution, and one can defend their doctoral thesis. This is due to the presence of special scientific commissions. The university hosts various conferences, seminars, and publishes scientific monographs and collections of articles.
Research centers of the University. Francysk Skaryna
Skaryna University (Gomel) has two large research centers. The physical and chemical center was opened in 2016, and the center for the history and culture of East Slavic peoples has been operating since 2002. The latter has become one of the largest research schools in the field of Slavic studies, constantly attracting the attention of many domestic and foreign scientists.
Another institution that operates under the leadership of the university is the Isomer Shared Use Center (collective use center). The main task is environmental monitoring and testing the properties of various substances. The institution has at its disposal four large laboratories and fourteen more smaller ones, including the Chinese-Belarusian Scientific Laboratory, specializing in vacuum plasma technologies.
Scientific life within the walls of GSU
It is worth noting the high indicators shown by Skaryna University. Every year Gomel welcomes new guests who come to the city to participate in conferences. Last year alone, about 27 full-fledged monographs, 51 collections of articles on various sciences and conference materials, several hundred articles by authors from the University. Francysk Skaryna was published in leading foreign scientific publications. Special periodicals publish student and postgraduate works in various fields. Such journals are published as “Problems of Physics, Mathematics and Technology”, “Izvestia of the State University named after. F. Skorina."
Among the most famous scientific conferences that are held annually within the walls of this university, it is worth noting the “Student Science Days”. All departments and faculties of the university, without exception, took part in the organization; based on the results of the presentations, a collection was published in two parts. In total, more than 25 conferences were organized last year, half of which were student conferences.
International connections and projects

Story
In 1958, the Faculty of Primary School was opened at the Pedagogical Institute, and in 1959, the Faculty of Engineering and Pedagogy, the name of which was later changed three times (industrial-pedagogical, general technical disciplines and labor, general technical disciplines and physics). In the last two years of activity, the Gomel State Pedagogical Institute named after. V.P. Chkalova trained teachers for secondary schools at 5 faculties (physics and mathematics, philology, chemical biology, general technical disciplines and physics, physical education). In the fall of 1961, graduate school was opened at the Gomel Pedagogical Institute. Since 1968, the development of economic contract topics began (the first economic agreement on the topic “Research of the characteristics and properties of polymer coatings by optical and spectral methods”). During its work, Gomel State Pedagogical Institute named after. V.P. Chkalov trained 12.5 thousand specialists.
At the end of 1968, it was decided to open Gomel State University on the basis of the Pedagogical Institute. The order of the Minister of Higher and Secondary Special Education No. 130 dated March 31, 1969 stated: “2. To open Gomel State University from May 1 on the basis of the Gomel State Pedagogical Institute named after. V.P. Chkalova. The university should have the following faculties: historical-philological, mechanical-mathematical, physical, biological-soil, geological, economic and physical education.” The famous scientist V. A. Bely was appointed the first rector. In the 1969/1970 academic year, 4,429 students studied at the university, incl. 2,349 for full-time and 2,080 for correspondence. The first university graduation numbered 913 people.
Since August 1973, scientist, academician, and participant in the Great Patriotic War B.V. was appointed rector of GSU. Bokut. Over the years of work at the university as academician B.V. Bokutem created a scientific school in optics, which became famous far beyond the borders of the republic. The high professional level and work experience of the university teaching staff was used in many countries of the world (Algeria, Vietnam, Cuba, Kenya, Mongolia, Sudan and others), to which the Soviet Union provided assistance in training personnel in various fields of knowledge. In the 1980s, work intensified to improve the educational process at the university. For a number of years, there have been close ties between faculties and industrial enterprises and research institutes. In the late 1970s - the first half of the 1980s, for the first time in the republic, Gomel State University began to create branches of departments at enterprises and research institutes.
In the 1990s, 10 new specialties were opened. On the initiative of the rector L.A. Shemetkov, councils for the defense of dissertations and doctoral studies were opened for the first time at GSU. Since October, the magazine “News of the Gomel State University named after F. Skaryna” began to be published. International cooperation has expanded significantly. In 1994, the university won a TEMPUS program grant in the amount of $1 million and, together with the universities of Clermont-Ferrand (France), Birmingham (England), and Kiel (Germany), developed the project “Improving University Management” in 1994-1998. At the beginning of the 21st century, the university was headed by Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor M.V. Selkin.

An excerpt characterizing Gomel State University named after Francis Skorina
The major put his hand to the visor with a smile.- Whom do you want, mamzel? He said, narrowing his eyes and smiling.
Natasha calmly repeated her question, and her face and whole manner, despite the fact that she continued to hold her handkerchief by the ends, were so serious that the major stopped smiling and, at first thinking, as if asking himself to what extent this was possible, answered her in the affirmative.
“Oh, yes, why, it’s possible,” he said.
Natasha slightly bowed her head and quickly walked back to Mavra Kuzminishna, who was standing over the officer and talking to him with pitiful sympathy.
- It’s possible, he said, it’s possible! – Natasha said in a whisper.
An officer in a wagon turned into the Rostovs' courtyard, and dozens of carts with the wounded began, at the invitation of city residents, to turn into the courtyards and drive up to the entrances of the houses on Povarskaya Street. Natasha apparently benefited from these relationships with new people, outside the usual conditions of life. She, together with Mavra Kuzminishna, tried to bring as many wounded as possible into her yard.
“We still need to report to dad,” said Mavra Kuzminishna.
- Nothing, nothing, doesn’t it matter! For one day we will move to the living room. We can give them all our half.
- Well, you, young lady, will come up with it! Yes, even to the outbuilding, to the bachelor, to the nanny, and then you need to ask.
- Well, I'll ask.
Natasha ran into the house and tiptoed through the half-open door of the sofa, from which there was a smell of vinegar and Hoffmann's drops.
-Are you sleeping, mom?
- Oh, what a dream! - said the countess, who had just dozed off, waking up.
“Mom, darling,” said Natasha, kneeling in front of her mother and putting her face close to hers. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I never will, I woke you up.” Mavra Kuzminishna sent me, they brought the wounded here, officers, if you please? And they have nowhere to go; I know that you will allow... - she said quickly, without taking a breath.
- Which officers? Who did they bring? “I don’t understand anything,” said the countess.
Natasha laughed, the Countess also smiled faintly.
– I knew that you would allow... so I’ll say so. - And Natasha, kissing her mother, got up and went to the door.
In the hall she met her father, who had returned home with bad news.
- We've finished it! – the count said with involuntary annoyance. – And the club is closed, and the police come out.
- Dad, is it okay that I invited the wounded into the house? – Natasha told him.
“Of course, nothing,” the count said absently. “That’s not the point, but now I ask you not to worry about trifles, but to help pack and go, go, go tomorrow...” And the count conveyed the same order to the butler and the people. During dinner, Petya returned and told him his news.
He said that today the people were dismantling weapons in the Kremlin, that although Rostopchin’s poster said that he would shout the cry in two days, but that an order had probably been made that tomorrow all the people would go to the Three Mountains with weapons, and what was there there will be a big battle.
The countess looked with timid horror at the cheerful, heated face of her son while he said this. She knew that if she said the word that she was asking Petya not to go to this battle (she knew that he was rejoicing at this upcoming battle), then he would say something about men, about honor, about the fatherland - something like that senseless, masculine, stubborn, which cannot be objected to, and the matter will be ruined, and therefore, hoping to arrange it so that she could leave before that and take Petya with her as a protector and patron, she did not say anything to Petya, and after dinner she called the count and with tears she begged him to take her away as soon as possible, that same night, if possible. With a feminine, involuntary cunning of love, she, who had hitherto shown complete fearlessness, said that she would die of fear if they did not leave that night. She, without pretending, was now afraid of everything.
M me Schoss, who went to see her daughter, further increased the countess’s fear with stories of what she saw on Myasnitskaya Street in the drinking establishment. Returning along the street, she could not get home from the drunken crowd of people raging near the office. She took a cab and drove around the lane home; and the driver told her that people were breaking barrels in the drinking establishment, which was so ordered.
After dinner, everyone in the Rostov family set about packing their things and preparing for departure with enthusiastic haste. The old count, suddenly getting down to business, continued to walk from the yard to the house and back after dinner, stupidly shouting at the hurrying people and hurrying them even more. Petya gave orders in the yard. Sonya did not know what to do under the influence of the count’s contradictory orders, and was completely at a loss. People ran around the rooms and courtyard, shouting, arguing and making noise. Natasha, with her characteristic passion in everything, suddenly also got down to business. At first, her intervention in the bedtime business was met with disbelief. Everyone expected a joke from her and did not want to listen to her; but she persistently and passionately demanded obedience, became angry, almost cried that they did not listen to her, and finally achieved that they believed in her. Her first feat, which cost her enormous effort and gave her power, was laying carpets. The count had expensive gobelins and Persian carpets in his house. When Natasha got down to business, there were two open drawers in the hall: one almost filled to the top with porcelain, the other with carpets. There was still a lot of porcelain laid out on the tables and everything was still being brought from the pantry. It was necessary to start a new, third box, and people followed it.
“Sonya, wait, we’ll arrange everything like this,” Natasha said.
“You can’t, young lady, we already tried,” said the barmaid.
- No, wait, please. – And Natasha began to take out dishes and plates wrapped in paper from the drawer.
“The dishes should be here, in the carpets,” she said.
“And God forbid, let’s put the carpets into three boxes,” said the barman.
- Yes, wait, please. – And Natasha quickly, deftly began to take it apart. “It’s not necessary,” she said about Kyiv plates, “yes, it’s for carpets,” she said about Saxon dishes.
- Leave it alone, Natasha; “Okay, that’s enough, we’ll put him to bed,” Sonya said reproachfully.
- Eh, young lady! - said the butler. But Natasha didn’t give up, threw out all the things and quickly started packing again, deciding that there was no need to take the bad home carpets and extra dishes at all. When everything was taken out, they began to put it away again. And indeed, having thrown out almost everything cheap, what was not worth taking with us, everything valuable was put into two boxes. Only the lid of the carpet box did not close. It was possible to take out a few things, but Natasha wanted to insist on her own. She stacked, rearranged, pressed, forced the barman and Petya, whom she carried along with her into the work of packing, to press the lid and made desperate efforts herself.
“Come on, Natasha,” Sonya told her. “I see you’re right, but take out the top one.”
“I don’t want to,” Natasha shouted, holding her loose hair over her sweaty face with one hand and pressing the carpets with the other. - Yes, press, Petka, press! Vasilich, press! - she shouted. The carpets pressed and the lid closed. Natasha, clapping her hands, squealed with joy, and tears flowed from her eyes. But it only lasted for a second. She immediately set to work on another matter, and they completely believed her, and the count was not angry when they told him that Natalya Ilyinishna had canceled his order, and the servants came to Natasha to ask: should the cart be tied up or not and is it sufficiently imposed? The matter progressed thanks to Natasha’s orders: unnecessary things were left behind and the most expensive ones were packed in the closest possible way.
But no matter how hard all the people worked, by late night not everything could be packed. The Countess fell asleep, and the Count, postponing his departure until the morning, went to bed.
Sonya and Natasha slept without undressing in the sofa room. That night, another wounded man was transported through Povarskaya, and Mavra Kuzminishna, who was standing at the gate, turned him towards the Rostovs. This wounded man, according to Mavra Kuzminishna, was a very significant person. He was carried in a carriage, completely covered with an apron and with the top down. An old man, a venerable valet, sat on the box with the cab driver. A doctor and two soldiers were riding in the cart behind.
- Come to us, please. The gentlemen are leaving, the whole house is empty,” said the old woman, turning to the old servant.
“Well,” answered the valet, sighing, “and we can’t get you there with tea!” We have our own house in Moscow, but it’s far away, and no one lives.
“You are welcome to us, our gentlemen have a lot of everything, please,” said Mavra Kuzminishna. - Are you very unwell? – she added.
The valet waved his hand.
- Don’t bring tea! You need to ask the doctor. - And the valet got off the box and approached the cart.
“Okay,” said the doctor.
The valet went up to the carriage again, looked into it, shook his head, ordered the coachman to turn into the yard and stopped next to Mavra Kuzminishna.
- Lord Jesus Christ! - she said.
Mavra Kuzminishna offered to carry the wounded man into the house.
“The gentlemen won’t say anything...” she said. But it was necessary to avoid climbing the stairs, and therefore the wounded man was carried into the outbuilding and laid in the former room of m me Schoss. The wounded man was Prince Andrei Bolkonsky.
The last day of Moscow has arrived. It was clear, cheerful autumn weather. It was Sunday. As on ordinary Sundays, mass was announced in all churches. No one, it seemed, could yet understand what awaited Moscow.
Only two indicators of the state of society expressed the situation in which Moscow was: the mob, that is, the class of poor people, and the prices of objects. Factory workers, courtyard workers and peasants in a huge crowd, which included officials, seminarians, and nobles, went out to the Three Mountains early in the morning. Having stood there and not waiting for Rostopchin and making sure that Moscow would be surrendered, this crowd scattered throughout Moscow, into drinking houses and taverns. Prices that day also indicated the state of affairs. The prices for weapons, for gold, for carts and horses kept rising, and the prices for pieces of paper and for city things kept going down, so that in the middle of the day there were cases when the cabbies took out expensive goods, like cloth, for nothing, and for a peasant's horse paid five hundred rubles; furniture, mirrors, bronzes were given away for free.
In the sedate and old Rostov house, the disintegration of previous living conditions was expressed very weakly. The only thing about people was that three people from a huge courtyard disappeared that night; but nothing was stolen; and in relation to the prices of things, it turned out that the thirty carts that came from the villages were enormous wealth, which many envied and for which the Rostovs were offered huge amounts of money. Not only were they offering huge amounts of money for these carts, but from the evening and early morning of September 1st, orderlies and servants sent from the wounded officers came to the Rostovs’ yard, and the wounded themselves, who were placed with the Rostovs and in neighboring houses, were dragged along, and begged the Rostovs’ people to take care of that they be given carts to leave Moscow. The butler, to whom such requests were addressed, although he felt sorry for the wounded, resolutely refused, saying that he would not even dare to report this to the count. No matter how pitiful the remaining wounded were, it was obvious that if they gave up one cart, there was no reason not to give up the other, and give up everything and their crews. Thirty carts could not save all the wounded, and in the general disaster it was impossible not to think about yourself and your family. This is what the butler thought for his master.
