History

19th century

The Government Order of 3 December 1865 the opening of the Petrowskojer Agriculture and Forestry Academy in northern Moscow is regarded as the founding document of the university. Russia desperately needed well-trained specialists who were able to guide agricultural production on a scientific basis. To study listeners were admitted from all classes. Initially, the following subjects were taught: agriculture, animal husbandry, veterinary medicine, forestry, rural construction and engineering, technology of agricultural and forestry production, geodesy, chemistry, physics and meteorology, botany, zoology, mineralogy, political economy and theology. In the early years the Academy was organized in only one country and a forestry department, where about 400 students were enrolled.

End of the 80s of the 19th century saw major reorganizations at the Academy. On 30 May 1889, the Regulation on the Petrowskojer Agricultural Academy was approved, which meant the liquidation of the forestry department. On March 12, the adoption of new statutes, but mainly resembled the previous was. On 1 February 1894, the Academy closed because of the revolutionary unrest among students. In June 1894, the Moscow Agricultural Institute was founded in Petrovsko - Razumovsky. The Institute consisted of a farm and an agricultural engineering department. First institute director was physics master KA Ratschinski. In addition to the well pre-existing teaching facilities, such as a farm, a garden, a test field, a meteorological observatory and a library there was now teaching special cabinets for different subjects. 1896 vegetation house was built, expanded a number of buildings and built a gas plant for laboratories. From 1895 to 1898 worked at the meteorological observatory, the Russian Central Meteorological network that included 10 central provinces. In this period also the Moscow breeding station was established.

20th century

After 1917, the old name of the Academy was re-established, amended the statute and the organizational structure of the Academy and created new curricula. In December 1923, a decision of the Council of People's Commissars renamed Timiryazev Academy of Agriculture after the plant physiologist Kliment Timiryazev Arkadyevitch. Since 1936, the Academy has a similar structure today. The scientific potential of the Academy was so great that on its base in Moscow and other cities of the country 15 other universities and scientific research institutes were founded, including the Meliorationsinstitut and the Institute for the fishing industry. On February 20, 1940, the Academy was awarded by decision of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR Order of Lenin.

During the Great Patriotic War, students and professors were used for defense work in Moscow or replaced on the collective and state farms jobs of farm workers who were fighting at the front. The Academy was evacuated temporarily to Samarkand and moved again in 1943, the building in Moscow. In 1950 the Council of Ministers of the USSR, a decision that determined the tasks of the Academy, its structure, the basics of teaching activities and measures for the development of the material basis. The Academy was given the status of the leading agricultural university in the country. On 3 December 1965, she was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor.
