History
The predecessor of the Moscow State Pedagogical University (MPGU) was founded in 1872 as the Higher Courses for Women, on the initiative of Professor V.I. Ger'e, which in 1918 was reorganized as the Second Moscow State University. A pedagogical faculty was opened in 1921, on the basis of which, in 1930, the A.S. Bubnov Moscow State Pedagogical Institute was founded, and in 1941 was renamed in honor of V.I. Lenin. In 1942 the State Pedagogical Institute for the Handicapped was consolidated with MGPI, in 1943—the K. Liebknecht Industrial Pedagogical Institute, and in 1960—the V.P. Potemkin City Pedagogical Institute. The Institute was raised to the status of university in 1990. It dropped the hononary name of V.I. Lenin in early 1997.
