Saint Petersburg State Electrotechnical University
- Saint Petersburg State Electrotechnical University
Saint Petersburg State Electrotechnical University (Санкт-Петербургский государственный электротехнический университет) founded in 1886, and is one of the oldest higher education institutes in Saint Petersburg.
The University is a leader in the study of the fields of radio engineering, telecommunications, control processes, computer engineering and IT, electronics, biomedical engineering, management and linguistics.
A. S. Popov, the inventor of the radio, worked in this institute. There is a memorial museum to A. S. Popov in the institute. Z. I. Alferov, Nobel Laureat of Physics for his achievements in the field of heterostructure, also worked this institute. At one point he was a dean of the faculty electrotechnics (now faculty of electronics).
There is a legend that V. I. Lenin hid from the police at the University. Now the room where he hid is unofficially called "Lenin's Lecture Hall".
In the Soviet times the university gained the title: "in the name of V. I. Lenin". It was an honor for an institution to gain this prefix and only the best establishments had it.
The University has many buildings, each of very different architecture. This is because they were built in very different ages: from Imperial to Soviet. Some of the buildings had served other purposes before being acquired by the University, and others were built specifically for the University. There is a tale referring to the very unusual architecture of building 5, regarding its architect. Shortly after finishing his project he went insane and was committed to a mental institution.
The university is one of six in Saint Petersburg, and its military department continues to be popular, where many students enroll in order to "wipe out" or satisfy the requirement for compulsory military service.
