Never enroll in Economic Security at this university if you want to live with healthy nerves and psyche after university. The only positive aspect of studying at a university is being in Moscow and living in a dormitory. They do not teach knowledge here, but require stupid writing of coursework, research work, a diploma “for show” and to satisfy the head of the department. The teachers are constantly on edge, it’s not that they don’t have the strength to impart knowledge, they just don’t have the time to come to classes and do their...

The university was good. now acting rector G.D. Zolina diligently ruins everything and fires highly qualified professionals. The agricultural department will probably soon cease to exist. By entering this academy, you have no guarantee that you will complete your studies there, since they want to take away the academy’s land for commercial development, and move the academy itself somewhere far away. Before applying, check the situation on the land issue on the Internet.

Story

The initiative to create an educational institution for training agronomists was taken in 1857 by the Imperial Moscow Society of Agriculture. It was decided to locate the new institute on the outskirts of Moscow, on the territory of the Petrovsko-Razumovskoye estate near Moscow, which in 1860 was purchased by the treasury from private owners. In 1865, according to the design of the architect Nikolai Benois, the main educational building was built, and even before that, experimental fields and summer cottages were equipped. The founding date of the university is considered to be December 3, 1865, when the order of the tsarist government was announced on the opening of the Peter the Great Agricultural and Forestry Academy.

Conflict over land transfer

On March 4, 2016, the Government Commission for the Development of Housing Construction and Assessing the Efficiency of Use of Land Plots Owned by the Russian Federation, chaired by First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov, by absentee voting, decided to transfer two plots belonging to the Russian State Agrarian University-Moscow Agricultural Academy to the Federal Development Assistance Fund housing construction.

On March 16, 2016, the Federal Property Management Agency decided to terminate the academy’s right to perpetual ownership of these plots. Their total area is 101.58 hectares, cadastral value is 27.7 billion rubles. In particular, the Michurinsky Garden and an experimental field with a precision farming center are located on them.

At the end of March 2016, the decision to alienate the lands of the Timiryazev Academy caused a great public outcry. The academic council of the university was categorically against it. A public petition on the website Change.org against land development was signed by about 30 thousand people. The first vice speaker of the Federation Council, former head of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, Nikolai Fedorov, also opposed this.

According to the General Director of the Agency for Housing Mortgage Lending, Alexander Plutnik, the lands alienated from the academy “are not used in any way and are wastelands: there are no relict or especially valuable plants, as well as academy buildings there; part of one of the plots is occupied by golf courses.”
