History faculty of the Kazan state pedagogical institute / university: the trends of formation, development and interrelation with the Russian institutes of higher education

Abstract

The formation and development of the history department at the Kazan State Pedagogical Institute, which was established in 1934 simultaneously with the restoration of the history departments at Moscow State University and Leningrad State University, is characterized. The creation of a history department at KSPI (since 1994 – Kazan State Pedagogical University, since 2005 – Tatar State Humanitarian and Pedagogical University), a previously restored history department at Kazan State University, is justified by the preservation of the training of history teachers at the Eastern Pedagogical Institute in the 1920s, when all the history faculties in the country were transformed into backgrounds. The stages of historical education in KSPI-KSPU-TGGPU, the formation and activities of the scientific and pedagogical staff of the historical departments of the faculty and there ties with the higher education institutes of Russia are traced.
