Сквозные решения:
 В всех подписях к фотографиям точка в конце ставится только в том случае, если
подпись является законченным предложением
 окончания перечислительных пунктов, не являющихся законченными предложениями
(перечни специальностей, университетов-партнеров и т.п.) – без знаков препинания
 поскольку английский язык лаконичнее, и сама стилистика иллюстрированного
зарубежного буклета предполагает краткость и легкость чтения, предлагается
увеличить размер шрифта при сохранении тех же фото и такого же размещения
разделов, что в русскоязычном исходнике
 во всех диаграммах запятые, отделяющие дробную часть, заменяются точками;
последние три знака целых чисел отделяются запятой (например 1000 -> 1,000)

President’s Message
Справка о ректоре:
Dr. Vladimir I. Kurilov, SJD, LL.M.
President, Far Eastern National University
Dr. Vladimir I. Kurilov is the 20th, the longest serving President of Far Eastern National University
during its 110 year history. He is the first FENU President appointed to this position in the result of
alternative elections by secret ballot of the FENU Electoral Conference – the supreme university
body composed of about 200 delegates, representing all FENU’s academic, research, and
administrative units. Dr. Kurilov was elected to the President’s position four times in chain (in
1990, 1997, 2002, and 2007), after 18 years of work at FENU as faculty member (since 1972),
Chair of Labor Law Department (since 1983), Dean of Law School (1982-90). Under his
leadership, FENU became one of the few top tier Russian research universities, the 3rd university
nominated by Russian Federal Government for the status of federal university. Dr. Kurilov is a
member of Federal Attestation Committee (VAK), supervising the quality of education and doctoral
research at the national level; a member of the Presiding Board of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Far Eastern Branch, a Deputy of Primorsky State Legislative Committee, a member of General
Council of the “The United Russia” Party. Dr. Kurilov is a member of Steering Committees of
many national and international educational organizations, including such famous as the
Association of Pacific Rim Universities and the International Association of University Presidents.
Dr. Kurilov received his S.J.D. and LL.M. degrees from St. Petersburg State University, and his
J.D. degree from FENU.
Dr. Kurilov’s contribution to FENU development, promotion of Russian education, research and
culture in the Pacific Rim has been recognized by many exceptional national and international
awards, including the Russian Federation Order of Recognition (2003); the Russian Federation
Order of Merit, 4th degree (2008); 7 honorary degrees of foreign universities, 3 honorary
citizenships, and other awards from UNESCO, China, Japan, Republic of Korea, Democratic
People's Republic of Korea, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, and several multinational
organizations ((P. 178).
Основной текст:

In Russian literature there’s a short line which sounds like deep ancient Oriental wisdom and a
western theorem: “great things are viewed from afar.” As in the Theory of Relativity, this line is
equally true both for distances and time; it is also true for Far Eastern National University (FENU).
The day it was established, October 21 1899, all its first students could easily get together at the
entrance of the only building, the Institute of Oriental Studies. In 2009 there’s only one’s
imagination that gives a well turned picture of 131 university buildings, almost 100,000 recent
graduates, students, professors, and scientists, and hundreds of FENU partners around the world.
This perspective is quite a distant view from outer space of that part of the planet called the AsiaPacific Rim. But the view of this hemisphere is not enough to get a true picture of the university’s
scope – our partnership programs and alumni are closely connected with Europe and many other
countries of the world.
Yet, this impressive picture of the modern university is far from being enough to provide a total
understanding of what FENU is and will be for Russia if facts of its history and present day plans
are omitted. Now that 110 years had elapsed since FENU was founded, we realize the significance
of this event like only the most sagacious and talented statesmen and professors of that time. We
bring together fractions of the long ago shattered mosaic of the fates and deeds of the Institute of
Oriental Studies’ alumni who established hundreds of new institutions of higher educations,
institutes, and chairs all over the Far East and who participated in forming the system of high
education and science not only in our region but also neighboring countries. Now we know more
about them than they did about each other being separated with national conflicts and historical
cataclysms. We are aware of only a few follow-ups of their activity they were not to know
themselves. We fully appreciate their impact on developing the Russian Far East and building an
outstanding reputation of Russian higher education in neighboring countries. Even now that we
have the inexhaustible information resources of the 21st century, we are far from giving true
appraisal and understanding of all the gains of friendship, sympathy, interest, respect, and mutual
understanding cultivated by our predecessors in this ancient region of the planet where people have
always had different reactions to strong European power approaching the Pacific coasts.
Through the time shroud we are getting not only the past of our university – we can see its future,
distant and close. Lately, particularly these last months, we have built an integrated comprehensive
model of the university we would like to have by the years of 2012 and 2020.
We have minutely devised the plan for this model’s realization; by long-term efforts and real
accomplishments we persuaded the leaders of the Russian Federation that FENU will accomplish its
goals.
Now we can speak of the future university in as much detail as we can about the modern one –
there’s already much information about each building, school and its centers. With modern
information technologies our university of the future can be viewed in a 3-dimentional image;
flying over campus, one can see precisely its interior design and every single building plan. We can
watch these pictures becoming more exact, attractive and focused. Not all 3D images will turn into
reality – but it is up to us in collaboration with the leading planning and research teams of Russia
and all over the world to decide which of the variants will best meet the requirements of the
university to be constructed.
In a 110year-long university history there have been two unique periods of its close cooperation
with supreme organs of the government. The first is the period of establishment and development of
the Institute of Oriental Studies under control and initiative of the last Russian Emperor Nikolai II,
Finance Minister Count Sergey Y. Vitte, and Prime-Minister Pyetr A. Stolypin. The second period
is the one we are living now. Of course, FENU faculty and staff consider establishment of the
Federal University their own idea and service, but for the President of Russian Federation and his
predecessor, establishment of the Federal Universityin the Russian Far East is also their action and
their project. The names of Vladimir V. Putin, Dmitry A. Medvedev, Boris V. Gryzlov, Igor I.
Shuvalov, Andrey A. Fursenko, Nikolai I. Bulaev, and many other statesmen of Russia are as
6
closely connected with the Federal University establishment now as the names of the most
outstanding statesmen of the end of the 19th century are associated with the history of establishment
and successful development of the School of Oriental Studies.
The word “dream” is not appropriate for such official documents as the program for establishment
and development of FENU in the new status of the Federal University. This is a rather dry, business
text, rich in tables and charts, occupying hundreds of pages with appendices included. Yet, I would
like to say that if a dream is based on foreseeing the future in the collective mind of the most
outstanding scientists and spokesmen of Russia, adequate financial resources and systems approach,
and if this dream’s realization is part of the entire strategic profile of Russia – such a dream will
turn into realty that we truly wish for all of us and our descendants.

FENU regards quality of education as a basis for long term and steady development of the
university. As a result, FENU sets the following main goals: maintain and strengthen the
status of one of the leading Russian higher education institutions, retain the leading position
in the educational services market in the Far East, promote Russian higher education in
Pacific Rim countries, and provide each FENU graduate with high quality professional
education.
Основной текст:

international standards of ISO:9000.
С15
Principles and Major Components of the FENU Education Quality System
The FENU Education quality system is based on the following principles:
 Building a “pyramid of quality management functions” with thorough study of the processes for
attaining university targets, planning for quality, and setting strategic, tactical and operative
“horizons” of management;
 Providing education quality assessment through the following principles: unification of quality
processes and results; aligning quality of university function with quality of university
development, and assuring quality during periods of change
 Introducing innovative methods of teaching
 Introducing leading information technologies
 Maintaining strong corporate culture
 Quality monitoring through processes of self-examination and self-analysis; sociological
monitoring in principal groups of education services users – university applicants, students,
graduates, and employers; and quantitative and qualitative analyses of graduate job placement as
one of the major criteria for education quality provided by FENU.
20
В зеленой рамке:
FENU’s education quality system is based on the university’s mission principles: there can be
no high quality higher education without science that meets world standards, without
internationalization, without active use of leading information technologies and without
forming creatively thinking personalities capable of self-development. FENU combines prior
directions of its development with an in-depth systematic approach to achieve measurable
results in these directions. FENU’s education quality system is an inseparable part of this
strategy, an acting and developing mechanism that has made Far Eastern National University
one of the best universities in Russia.

FENU’s education quality system embraces the following processes: marketing and student
enrollment; education program planning; supplying information and study materials; training aids
supply; enrolling specialists in research and education; infrastructure and education management;
study process assessment; education quality evaluation and monitoring; graduate and alumni
employment assistance; changes in application rates; and document management.
The Far Eastern Institute of Innovative Technologies and Quality Management is responsible for
development, introduction and evaluation of FENU’s system of education quality.
В рамке:
The FENU quality monitoring system was developed by the Institute from the model of
quality management system in ISO 9001:2000. The FENU quality monitoring system covers
all the processes of the university.
FENU polices in education quality management and tasks of each university sub-division
responsible for education quality management are evaluated annually. Analyses of goal attainment
and education quality system process improvement are also conducted annually.
Information and Methodical Support
Supply of the Education Quality Monitoring System with information is realized through the system
of planning, funds of the Institute of Research Information – Fundamental Library, competition for
FENU President’s grant awards on publishing textbooks and other educational materials, and
distributing information in the Far Eastern Educational Wed-Portal, designed and supported by
FENU.
Student Performance Rating
An original rating system of student academic progress has been introduced in FENU’s study
process. The Far Eastern Institute of Innovative Technologies has developed an algorithm for
calculating student academic performance (“FENU WEBRATE” – Russian Patent #2004612031
issued on September 3, 2004). “FENU WEBRATE” gathers and analyzes information about student
academic performance which is available to students, faculty, and FENU administration.
Academic Performance Monitoring
Academic performance quality is monitored through grades of traditional exams, national
examinations and through resources of the testing system “FENU WEBTEST” (FENU proprietary
design). University professors have developed more than 700 banks of tests for midterm and final
exams. Students can be tested in any computer lab or any internet accessed PC including home
computers. Test results are interpreted by the professor either manually or automatically and are
sent to the student’s index card. The system collects statistics on test results, analyses these data,
and draws conclusions about validity and reliability of the teaching grading materials used. Now the
university has such tests in 300 disciplines. Valid and reliable grading materials are given
certificates of authorship from the Far Eastern Branch of Algorithms and Programs Fund.
Interactive Teaching System
В рамке с.17:
For independent student study FENU has introduced the integrated study program “FENU
WEBSTUDY”. The core of this system is an electronic study complex of more than 2000
23
curriculum disciplines. Every student in virtually any study field has their own work place,
set of texts, self-preparation and self-control tasks.
Increasing the number of curriculum disciplines with a greater share of independent work has
resulted from an interactive teaching system. The system divides the discipline study process into
modules. Every module is introduced with an introductory lecture where a student is given all the
necessary information about the problem of the discipline to be studied, its parts and a formula to
master it. With a formula to master a discipline, the student uses the Fundamental Library
resources, internet, electronic texts, and analyses any available data. The student then checks his/her
progress at the self-control stage using the corresponding test materials and practice test “Deductor”
(FENU proprietary design). Application of the student’s knowledge can be demonstrated by a
student either in the classroom or in the Internet with multimedia access. Introductory, midterm, and
final exams are conducted traditionally or through the informational student knowledge testing
system.
To improve independent work of the students FENU servers now have electronic texts on different
subjects. Texts on CD ROMs are also available and can be used by the students who have home
PCs.
Document Management
Document management, study process planning, organization and control are automated in an
integrated information system for education quality monitoring. This information system created on
a Lotus Notes platform consists of a number of firmware, more than 30 data management systems,
sources and channels for gathering and sending information from many organizational and
informational fields. The system provides document registration; control for document redirection
among subdivisions; registering the affected documents; document work and term check; document
sorting and searching by key properties; report production of performance by discipline and
workflow in general; and archiving documents.
The study process planning system is presented with three modules: graphics and plans of study
process, discipline study programs and study resources and materials. All computer programs have
certificates of registration from the Computer Program Register at the Russian Agency of Patents
and Trademarks.
The information analysis system “Students” tracks student study at FENU. This system can
conduct statistical data manipulation and show results on the monitor or printer as tables or bar
charts (for example, term study performance results of different categories of students, diploma
results, etc.), and automatically make reports (such as ratings of university sub-divisions) and final
documents (for example, diploma supplement, student progress record of all academic years,
transcripts, etc.)
(c.18)
University Student and Alumnus Employment System
FENU has been assisting its students and alumni with employment since 2001. In 2006 the Student
Employment and Internship Unit became the Regional University Alumni Employment and
Monitoring Center. The Center coordinates and trains Primorky Krai university subdivisions
responsible for giving university alumni assistance with employment. The Center has close ties with
local authorities: the Primorsky Krai Department of Education and Science, Vladivostok
Administration Labor and Employment of the Population Committee and national services for
population employment.
24
Demand for graduates directly depends on the quality of practical training they have gotten at
DVGU. To regulate this process FENU has developed Internship Regulations. By the end of 2008
the university data base contained 5000 internship contracts.
Employers have strong interest in cooperating with students. During the 2007/2008 academic year
FENU conducted such traditional events as company presentations, Career Days, seminars,
business games and trainings.
In spring 2008 for the seventh time, FENU conducted its career orientation event “Young
Specialist”, and a contest “FENU Best Graduate”. University graduates traditionally are on top of
the Primorsky Krai competition “Primorsky Krai Best University Graduate”.
В первой рамке на с.18
Since 2002 FENU has been a host for annual vacancy fairs. Employers also have local
meetings with students of selected specialties. In 2007 the University Alumni Employment and
Monitoring Center initiated the First Open Vacancy Fair for Higher Education Institutes.
FENU information system “Employment” (http://rabota.wl.dvgu.ru), designed and supported by the
students of the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science since 2001, has been an alternative
to the Russian Ministry of Education and Science Distributed Information System. Employers
themselves send this system information on vacancies. Information on vacancies from mass media,
Internet and national services for population employment is also added to this data base.
Demand for graduates is analyzed annually. Undergraduates supply information on feedback forms
whose analysis shows an increasing number of the university 5th year students getting jobs before
graduation; 80% of them work in their specialties.
Feedback
Во второй рамке на с.18:
The Social Projection and Forecasting Laboratory of the Far Eastern Institute of Innovative
Technologies and Quality Control have introduced a system for monitoring quality of
professional training. The project “Sociological Monitoring of Education Services
Consumers” has been completed. Annual polls of the university applicants and students,
university professors and staff members, employers and regional education control members
provide data on the quality of professional training. Monitoring results are annually
announced to the FENU Academic Council and university administration. These results are
one basis for improvements to the university education process.
The Academic Affairs Division internet site provides ‘hot line’ access for consumer problems and
questions through its Reference and Information System “Question-Response” program. Any
student or university employee can access this service and ask any question about a university study
process, dormitory procedures, scholarship application and enrollment, changing majors or leaving
the university. They can also criticize any university process.
To attract highly qualified applicants, FENU cooperates closely with primary, secondary and high
schools and pays special attention to their educational processes.
The Primorsky Krai Department of Education and FENU have established the FENU Educational
District for more than 40 schools of Primorsky Krai. About 90 FENU advanced level secondary
school programs are conducted in different cities and regions of Primorsky Krai.
Now FENU is developing an Education Quality System for schools of the FENU Educational
District. The system defines professional training of secondary school principals and teachers,
25
school quality system policies and the educational section “Life Quality” for teaching school
children including the preparation of teaching aids.

External Expert Assessment of FENU’s Quality of Education and Research
The FENU education quality system focuses attention on both internal and external quality control.
The most important external quality assessments for FENU are:
 Governmental accreditation and licensing
 Public accreditation
 Expert assessment of international professional organizations
 FENU’s competitive ability to get educational and research national and international grants
 Expert assessment by receipt of education quality contests awards.
FENU is in the top tier of Russian higher education for all of these categories.
Governmental Accreditation and Licensing

Average annual volume of FENU research financing is 10 times higher than the accreditation
requirement of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science. More than 95% of FENU research
funding is earned in national and international open competitions with other research institutions.
Public Accreditation
The goal of public accreditation is to evaluate FENU graduate professional training quality and their
education relative to practical application in the work place. All FENU specialties go through
public accreditation.
В рамке:
In 2008 FENU went under this process and received certification that the level of education,
continuing education and graduate skills and abilities are sufficient for registration by the
Russian Federation Chamber of Commerce.
Public accreditation is a new trend in Russian high education. The first to go through this kind of
accreditation at FENU was the Institute of Law. From the Institute of Law, 177 students, 99
graduates and 27 experts-specialists under went public accreditation in the specialty
“jurisprudence”. Evaluating experts were from the Primorsky Krai Administration, Primorsky Krai
Legislative Assembly, Primorsky Krai Court, Primorsky Krai Arbitration Court, Primorsky Krai
27
Office of Public Prosecutors, “Far Eastern Shipping Company” and other organizations. The
experts evaluated the knowledge and skills of the graduates as professionally high (70.4%). Public
accreditation considers academic performance, internship programs, and National graduation
examination scores.
C21
Expert Assessment by International Professional Organizations
В рамке:
The leading professional international organization that unites the best research universities
in the Pacific Rim based on comprehensive expert assessment of a number of different
characteristics is the Association of the Pacific Rim Universities (APRU).
APRU does not set any quantitative restrictions in requirements for university candidacy for APRU
membership. Membership is given to the university whose data demonstrates it is the best among
all candidates. As a rule, only one university is given membership every two years. The main
requirements are firm leadership positions in the native country or in a large region, a solid potential
for world class research, and active international cooperation. Other characteristics used in
membership evaluation are: number of Master’s and PhD programs, number of students in these
programs, number and quality of research centers and institutes, number of doctoral students, a
strong reputation in international university and research communities, and level of the university
education and science financing.
В рамке:
Annual budgets of APRU members are typically within 1-2 billion dollars. FENU, with a
much lower annual budget, for many years manages to hold the position of one of the 42 best
Pacific Rim universities and meet all other APRU requirements.
FENU was invited to APRU as one of its founding members in 1997; FENU President Vladimir
Kurilov has been elected a Steering Committee member of APRU twice for two year terms (20062008 and 2008-2010).
FENU President Kurilov is also a member of Steering Committees of other international university
organizations, including the International Association of University Presidents (IAUP) with more
than 700 university members.
В зеленой рамке:
FENU diplomas are recognized in more than 200 partner programs with foreign universities,
national organizations, and research institutions.
For example, FENU’ degree in Law is recognized to sufficient for admission to LL.M. programs of
three American HEIs on the base of their partnership agreements with FENU: the University of
Wisconsin-Madison, Seattle University, and Thomas Jefferson Law School. More than 20 USA law
schools and the American Evaluation Association have given expert recognition to FENU’s law
degree.
В бежевой рамке:
Thousands of students and alumni transferred their FENU academic credits to foreign
universities, or used their FENU diplomas to get a job abroad, or got admitted to graduate
28
and doctoral programs in other countries. This means that FENU’s education is de jure and
de facto recognized in most counties of the world.

Competitive National and International Grant Awards
Based on Expert Quality Assessment of Education and Research
Фото с. 22
FENU is the prize-winner of the first contest of the Innovative Universities Program within
National Priority Project “Education”, one of the 17 winners of the contest in 2006.
В рамке:
Large scale grant competitions to finance scientific and educational centers and innovative
educational programs play a special role in external expert assessment of university education and
science quality. Hundreds of the strongest Russian and foreign universities participate in these
competitions. Their applications are reviewed by many anonymous experts analyzing the quality of
education and research of universities applying for grant support. Awards from such contests bring
not only recognition but also financing to implement the best projects, to purchase the latest
29
scientific equipment and to support professional training of the faculty members and researchers.
FENU has received exceptional awards of the major national and international grant contests.
1996
FENU in collaboration with the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of
Sciences won the 4th largest financial award of the Russian Federal Program
named “National support of integration of higher education and fundamental
science during 1997-2000” and “Integration of science and higher education in
Russia during 2002-2006”.
1999
FENU in competition with 89 strongest Russian universities became one of three
winners of the grant program funding establishment of research and education
centers in natural sciences. This grant competition was organized and funded by
the American Foundation for Civil Research and Development (CRDF) and the
Russian Ministry of Education. The FENU Marine Biota Research and
Educational Center, established with this grant support, in the next years received
much more funds from other grant programs and became one of the leading
national centers in this field.
2001
FENU received a grant from the program “National support of the regional
technical research politics in higher education institutions and its scientific
potential development” from the Russian Ministry of Education, Kennan Institute,
and Moscow Public Foundation for Research supported by Carnegie Corporation
of New York, as well as by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
Competing with more than 40 Russian universities, FENU became one of the 5
winners. Within this funding, FENU established the Interregional Institute of
Social Sciences (the Far East Center for Advanced Studies and Education, P. 56),
which soon will become the foundation of the Center of Public Political
Technologies in Pacific Rim and Asian Studies, one of the five strategies of FENU
development.
2006
FENU became the only university of the Far East and Eastern Siberia to win the
Innovative Universities Program Award of the National Project “Education”,
organized and funded by Russian Government. 197 top Russian universities
competed for grant awards of this federal grant program, the largest one in the
history of Russian education. Several hundred anonymous independent experts
from business, government, research and education institutions rated their
applications and selected 17 winners. FENU was awarded the 3rd largest grant of
that program next only to Moscow State University and Saint Petersburg State
University. The project has been recognized by Federal Government to be
successfully completed by December 2007. All grant funds were spent for
purchase of high tech research equipment.

The Institute of Oriental Studies (as FENU was originally named) was established on October
21, 1899, the day commemorating the fifth anniversary of the reigning Emperor’s accession to
the throne. The telegram from Emperor Nikolay II which arrived the following day read:
“Happy the Institute of Oriental Studies has been established. Sincerely wish it to be
successful and prosperous for the benefit of not only the Far East, but Russia as a whole”.
Above Golden Horn Bay, Russia’s major Pacific harbor, on the steep slope of the Orlinoye Gnezdo
(Eagle’s Nest) Hill, there is a building of unique architecture overlooking the Bay, and crowning the
picturesque historical and cultural complex of Vladivostok’s downtown, the main building of Far
Eastern National University.
33
The building was made to last; even the century-old facing ceramics covering interior walls and
floor is still a feast to visitors’ eyes, though the people who had performed this excellent job live no
more. Also long deceased are the founders of the University – the distinguished statesmen of
Russia, brilliant professors and scholars of Saint-Petersburg University. They did excellently
indeed.
The University libraries of many neighboring countries, as well as the FENU Rare Book Museum,
take pride in holding copies of scholarly works of the Institute of Oriental Studies; though written in
the currently lost language of pre-revolutionary educated Russia, they still command profound
respect and arouse deep interest. However, the most important heritage left to us is not these –
despite all the historic cataclysms that swept over the city and Russia as a whole, the Institute
created by these people has become one of the best universities of Russia. At present the voices of
its students and teachers are heard inside 131 University buildings and dozens of partner-university
buildings; they also flood lecture halls of the best universities of the world through hundreds of
videoconferences, and are heard in research laboratories and at political forums. FENU is vitally
important to the successful future of Russia in a most dynamically developing region of
contemporary civilization.
We remember those who were at the beginnings of this University. At the end of the 19th and
beginning of the 20th century the Russian Empire, bending every effort and resorting to every
possible means, in amazingly short time, accomplished a weighty matter of state which can be
called the first national project in our history – the development of the Russian Far East and Eastern
Siberia. The most complicated issues of settling the remote land, creating a system of
communication, as well as its industrial and agricultural base, defense, education, economic and
cultural integration in the Pacific Rim, were tackled simultaneously, comprehensively, in a
scientifically founded manner with unprecedented state financing, under all-round state control and
with a strategy of long-term development. This strategy included several very large-scale projects:
Moscow-Vladivostok and KVZhD (Chinese Eastern Railway) trunk-railways were built along with
ports and military fortresses and preparations were made for the coming west to east population
shift.
Vladivostok occupied a special position in this strategy. Gaining access to the sea as a continental
power was not a new task in the history of Russia; the foundation of Saint Petersburg served an
example for those who were engaged in planning the development of the Russian Far East. Russian
Island and Peter the Great Bay are both symbolic names. Our ancestors distinctly understood what
they wanted to construct in this place, namely the eastern sea gates of Russia, the economic,
commercial, military, and educational capital of the vast Russian Far East. This city was in great
need of specialists who knew languages, cultures, histories and economies of Asia countries, and
who were capable of ensuring the integration of Russia into this region. There were no such
specialists in the Russian Far East, since no educational institution of the country trained them.
In Russia, orientalists were trained only at St. Petersburg University, but with respect to the
countries of the Far East, this educational activity was totally academic. For example, at the end of
the 19th century, when there was a sharp increase in contacts with Japan, neither professors nor
graduates of Petersburg University majoring in Japanese Studies, could speak Japanese. They had
gradually lost skills of colloquial Japanese because of the long absence of native Japanese speakers
at the University. The establishment of the Institute of Oriental Studies in Vladivostok, the first
higher educational institution in the huge territory east of Lake Baikal, was to solve this problem.
Sergey Vitte, Chairman of the Council of Ministers of Russian Empire, was a vigorous supporter
for creating the Institute of Oriental Studies. He can be rightfully called not only a founder of Far
Eastern National University, but also the main author and senior executive of the entire “national
project”, which resulted in Russia’s consolidating its position in the Far East.
34
On April 21, 1899 the State Council of the Russian Empire adopted the resolution on the
establishment of the Institute of Oriental Studies in Vladivostok, and on May 24, 1899 Emperor
Nikolay II affirmed “A Clause on the Institute of Oriental Studies”. The ceremonial opening of the
Institute took place on October 21, 1899, the day commemorating the five-year anniversary of the
reigning Emperor’s accession to the throne.
The significance of this event went far beyond the limits of the region and became truly historical.
Creating the Institute of Oriental Studies was judged a major landmark in the cultural and public
life of Russia, and this was noted in the congratulations of Emperor Nikolay II and other
distinguished statesmen of the country — Great Prince Konstantin, Ministers of: National
Education — Bogolepov, Finance — Vitte, Agriculture and State Property — Yermolov,
Communication — Hilkov, and governors, diplomats, scholars, clerics and rectors and faculty
members of over 40 domestic and foreign higher educational institutions.
Professor Alexey M. Pozdneyev was appointed director of the Institute. He was one of the foremost
experts in Mongolian Studies of that time, Professor of the Mongolian and Kalmyk Literature at the
Chair of Oriental Languages of Petersburg University and Incumbent Councilor of State. On July
28, 1899 Professor Pozdneyev met with Nikolay II who expressed hopes for the future important
role of the Institute of Oriental Studies.
The Institute was born as a kind of unique institution in the system of national education of Russia.
On the edge of Russian land, in conditions of the remote Far Eastern, it was supposed to train
highly qualified orientalists-practitioners capable of serving in administrative and military
establishments of the East Asian part of Russia and its neighboring states as well as in business and
industry. This challenging task was quickly accomplished by the Institute in many respects thanks
to “the landing” of the orientalist teachers and scholars of Petersburg University who had left
comfortable lives in the capital of the Empire to create the new centre of Oriental Studies next door
to countries they studied. Among the first professors of the Institute were world famous and
talented scientists: the foremost expert in Manchurian Studies in the country - A.M. Pozdneyev, the
founder of Scientific Korean Studies in Russia - G.V.Podstavin, Sinologist A.V.Rudakov, a
specialist in Japanese Studies - E.G.Spal’vin, a specialist in Mongolian Studies - G.T.Tsybikov, a
young specialist in Country Research - N.V.Kyuner, who spoke 17 languages (seven Oriental and
ten European) and others. They made a considerable contribution to the development and
distribution of advanced educational and scientific knowledge and traditions. By their efforts the
Institute of Oriental Studies became Russia’s first center of practical Oriental Studies in a short
space of time.
The Institute of Oriental Studies trained specialists in four departments: Chinese - Japanese,
Chinese - Korean, Chinese - Mongolian and Chinese - Manchurian. Any young person, who had
completed courses of studies at secondary educational institutions of all types and agencies, was
admitted without entrance tests. In addition to regular students, all or separately, subjects of the
Institute were also open to outside persons having a certain social standing or occupation. It was a
matter of great importance for the Russian Far East. The educational level in the region was low at
that time: the average radius of operation of a single educational institution reached 3.5 km, 15
times greater than in central Russia.
By the command of PriAmursky Governor General, army and navy officers were enrolled as
students of the Institute, and their number increased annually. Attendance of General Kuropatkin,
Defense Minister of Russia, at the first graduation ceremony of the Institute of Oriental Studies on
May 15, 1903 highlighted its national significance as well as that of the first Far Eastern higher
educational institution. The original educational and professional programs developed at the
Institute had combined fundamental university study and special practicality. The Institute’s own
unique manuals, along with effective training techniques and programs of foreign internships of
students in their country of study, gained wide popularity nationwide and abroad. “Textbooks by A.
M. Pozdneyev, P. P. Schmidt, and E. G. Spal’vina have already been accepted as manuals at the
35
Chair of Oriental Languages of Petersburg University, and now the Chair requests the Korean
Grammar book by G.V. Podstavin” was stated in the annual report of the Institute of Oriental
Studies of 1903.
Each student studying any Oriental language was trained by two teachers. The Russian professor
provided the student with theoretical knowledge, while a native speaker, Japanese – Chinese –
Korean – Mongol, helped him/her master foreign speech. Mastering the English language was
obligatory for every student.
From the first day of its publication in 1900, the scientific journal of the Institute, “Proceedings of
the Institute of Oriental Studies”, whose content was defined as “Reporting practical information
about the East, which no one in Russia has previously dealt with,” was highly esteemed by
European and American orientalists. Proceedings and manuals prepared by professors and teachers
and published at the Institute’s own printer were unique in Russia in that they contained works
written in seven languages: Manchurian, Mongolian, Chinese, Korean, Kalmyk, Tibetan and
Japanese. In its first ten years the library of the Institute accumulated over 60,000 volumes and was
the largest collection of books of Oriental studies not only in Russia but also in the world.
Excellent professors, teaching facilities unique in many ways, plus introduction of advanced
educational, scientific and pedagogical thought, all made possible the preparation of specialists of
the highest level at the time. Its first graduates (1903) completely satisfied the need for staffing Port
Arthur, Dal’niy, and the Chinese Eastern Railway which had opened the same year. Institute alumni
served as interpreters for the army during the Russo-Japanese war as well as ethnic experts and
analysts in the headquarters of Russian troops; forty were honored with complimentary references
and state awards.
Though cut off from leading Russian and European training and scientific centers until 1918, the
Institute of Oriental Studies remained the only higher learning institution in Eastern Siberia and the
Russian Far East, an oasis of university knowledge, hub of education and culture, efficient in
sustaining social and economic progress in the region, strengthening international relations and
ensuring national security in the Russian East. In 1918, with the aid and support of the Institute of
Oriental Studies, a private History and Philology Department and a Higher Polytechnic Institute
were established in Vladivostok, followed in 1919 by a private Law Department.
On February 12, 1920 the Academic Council of the Institute of Oriental Studies and the Committee
of History and Philology and Law Departments petitioned the government to create a national
university in Vladivostok. Their report read, “Without a university, cultural development and
prosperity of the rich and promising region destined for a good future, seems impossible”.
On April 17, 1920 the Provisional Government of the Russian Far East, the Primorsky Regional
Land Municipal Council, passed Resolution № 220 establishing Far Eastern National University
(GDU in Russian abbreviation at the time) in Vladivostok. FENU arose from the reorganization
(involving both its capital and property) of the Institute of Oriental Studies, which became the
Oriental Department and FENU’s direct legal successor. Additionally the new university
assimilated the private History and Philology Department and Law Department, as well as the
Economic Department of the private Polytechnic Institute giving them the status and authority of
public departments. G .V. Podstavin, a famous scientist and expert in Oriental Studies, was elected
University Rector.
During the harsh conditions following the destructive Civil War and the intervention, the Far
Eastern Revolutionary Committee (DalRevKom) acted to increase the viability of higher education.
In early 1923 it adopted a resolution to join the Polytechnic Institute and Ushinsky Pedagogical
Institute (established in 1921) to the university now with four departments: Oriental Studies, Social
Sciences, Polytechnic and the new ‘Workers’ Department. In September 1923 Chita University
joined FENU adding two new departments: Agriculture and Pedagogy.
36
The 1920’s became a major landmark in the University development. New teachers were recruited
and new educational programs designed with the number of students steadily increasing. University
scientists conducted extensive studies of the region’s productivity and applied research of interests
of the national economy such as forest management, agriculture, mining, etc. The USSR's first
laboratory of electric arc welding was created at FENU. Later within the university structure
developed the Research Institute for Regional Studies that later grew into the Far Eastern Branch of
the USSR Academy of Sciences. Scientific contacts with higher education institutions of Japan and
China, Charles University (Prague) and Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg (Halle,
Germany) were established. During the 1925-1926 academic year instructors of the University
published 136 scientific works (12 outside the USSR), carried out 17 expeditions and missions and
participated in 22 Congresses. During 1924-1925, six thousand copies of 44 textbooks and manuals
were published. The Commission of People’s Commissariat of Public Education (NarKomPros) of
the USSR inspected FENU in 1927 and noted in its report, “The great role of the University in the
economic and cultural life of the region is obvious”. However, in July 1929 NarKomPros of the
RSFSR issued a decree “On Reorganizing the Higher Education Network in the Russian Far East”
that required creation of a number of independent higher learning institutions in the region. FENU
entered a new stage of its development.
In 1930 FENU was reorganized to create five independent institutes. The mistake of closing the
University was obvious and soon, on October 1, 1931, by resolution of RSFSR SNK (Council of
People's Commissars of the RSFSR), the University bearing the name of Far Eastern National
University resumed operation and consisted of Oriental Studies, Chemistry, Physics and
Mathematics Departments. During the 1930’s though with difficulty, FENU, still the only
university in the Russian Far East, continued its development and increased enrollment and the
number of graduates.
During 1937 and 1938 the University suffered under Stalin’s regime. A large number of its
professors became victims of repressions and many were executed. In 1939 the University was
closed. Abandoned were forty years of extensive work of creating a system of higher education in
the enormous and the most distant region of Russia to provide highly-qualified staff for all branches
of its economy and develop its science and culture. Some of the University’s achievements had
become world famous such as its Oriental Studies Department, experience of building all-welded
vessels and studies of natural resources of the Far East.
But after closure the University’s ideas continued to live and its potential was still needed. The
University’s accumulated experience and achievements, part of its surviving scientific and
pedagogical personnel and the library were of great help in creating the Teaching Institute (1939)
and later the Pedagogical Institute (1943) in Vladivostok.
On August 29, 1956 the USSR Council of Ministers adopted a resolution to reestablish the
university under the new name, Far Eastern State (National) University. It grew out of the
Vladivostok State Pedagogical Institute. The 1956 FENU had five schools:
 School of Physics and Mathematics
 School of History and Philology
 School of Biology
 School of Medicine
 School of Romance and Germanic Philology.
FENU’s 13 Chairs employed 81 faculty members in 1956.
The reestablishment of still the only classical university in the Russian Far East began intensively
the very first day. During the first decade, its training and laboratory areas tripled, facilities
modernized, two dormitories accommodating 1200 people built, and new schools and specialties
opened: Law, Journalism, Soil Science, Oceanography, Meteorology, Astronomy and Geodesy, and
others.
37
Professor Grigory S. Kutsiy, Doctor of Historical Sciences, became the first rector of the
reestablished university. His priorities were formation of its organizational structure, its faculty and
students and facilities. Many other institutions of higher education, Leningrad, Moscow, Tomsk,
and Kazan Universities, contributed to FENU’s reformation. Rector Kutsiy announced teacher
vacancies throughout Russia. In the first four years after reopening, 50 teachers holding scientific
degrees and titles joined the FENU faculty.
In 1957, the Artificial Earth Satellite Observatory, headed by A. G. Sukhanov, senior instructor of
the Theoretical Physics Chair, began supplying high quality observations to the Astronomical
Council of the USSR.
In 1958 the Graduate School and Correspondence Department were opened, and in 1959 the first
students were admitted to its Evening Department. Also in 1959 the University got its first training
and expeditionary vessel, “Sputnik,” to carry out oceanographic and biological expeditions.
Throughout its first decade the structure of the university schools changed repeatedly; new schools
and departments were opened and others became independent. In 1958, FENU granted
independence to its School of Medicine, which later grew into Vladivostok State Medical
University. In 1957 FENU opened the School of Chemistry, and the Departments of Land
Hydrology and Meteorology were transferred from the Far Eastern Polytechnic Institute to the
School of Physics, which later grew into School of Geophysics. In September 1958, the decision
was made to open a “Jurisprudence” specialty at the FENU School of History and Philology. Later
in June 1959, Departments of History and Jurisprudence were withdrawn from the School of
History and Philology and formed into FENU’s School of History and Law.
The School of Philology became multifaceted in the 1960’s; besides the Department of the Russian
Language and Literature, Departments of Journalism (1961) and Oriental Languages (1962) were
opened within it. Graduates of the 1920’s and 1930’s from the Department of Oriental Studies
reopened it with its same excellent traditions. This was affirmed by special resolution of the
Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU in 1978, “On the Development of School of
Oriental Studies at Far Eastern National University”.
At the beginning of the 1970’s the School of Romance and Germanic Philology was closed, and the
Department of the English Language joined the School of Philology. Ten years after reopening,
FENU now comprised six schools: Physics and Mathematics, Biology and Soil, Chemistry,
Geophysics, History and Law, and Philology; the number of Chairs increased from 13 to 36 and
enrollment grew almost five times – from 1,143 to 5,644 students.
Also in those 10 years, FENU graduated 2,796 philologists, physicists, mathematicians, historians,
chemists, and jurists. Graduates went to all regions of the Russian Far East to work in businesses,
research Institutes and as instructors at other higher educational institutions and high schools.
In the 1970’s and 1980’s FENU increased its material resources, improved its structure, opened
new schools and departments and consultation and training facilities in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy
and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.
In 1969 FENU Preparatory School opened. The 1970’s saw creations of three new schools: the
School of Oriental Studies that separated from the School of Philology in 1970, the School of
Physics and Mathematics split into Schools of Physics and Mathematics in 1972, and the School of
History and Law split into Schools of History and Law in 1975. In 1975 FENU embraced 10
Schools: Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Geophysics, Biology and Soil, History, Philology, Law,
Oriental Studies, and Preparatory. In 1970 the number of Chairs had grown to 40, and in 1975 to
50.
38
From the end of the 1960’s –to the beginning of the 1980’s, department heads were occupied by
“men of the sixties,” graduates of the 1960’s and 1970’s; none were older than 35. The Rector was
not afraid to advance young instructors to the posts of deans either. The School of Physics was
headed by V. V. Gorchakov, the School of Oriental Studies by A.A. Khamatova, the School of
Mathematics by V.B. Osipov, V.A. Shlyk, and R.P. Shepeleva, the School of History by R.M.
Samigulin, the School of Law by V.I. Kurilov, the School of Chemistry by V.J. Glushchenko, the
School of Biology and Soil by V.I. Kudryashov and the School of Geophysics by V.I. Tarasov.
They were vigorous, energetic and self-organized, spending days and nights with their Schools. For
9 years dean’s posts were occupied by A.A. Khamatova, R.M. Samigulin and R. P. Shepeleva, for 8
years by V.I. Kurilov and for 6 years by V.I. Kudryashov. For many years following, these young
deans have been the backbone of FENU’s administration and have held high positions outside the
university as well.
In the 1970’s and 80’s FENU expanded its research potential especially in the fundamental
sciences. Almost all outstanding scientific and pedagogical schools in biology, mathematics,
physics, geophysics, chemistry, jurisprudence, oriental studies and many other fields that the
contemporary university boasts were formed during those years. FENU rapidly developed daily
cooperation with scientists from the Far Eastern Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Those
years were crucial for laying the foundation for the future network of joint scientific and
educational centers of FENU and the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences
(FEBRAS). The establishment of the Research Institute of Applied Physics, the first research
institute in the University in 1987, became a major landmark in FENU’ life. It was a key factor in
FENU’s later status of a research university where science forms the basis of high quality
education. This special status directed the dynamic development and quality growth of FENU in
the following decades when Vladivostok became open to international contacts.

Вводный текст с. 36:
The modern history of Far Eastern National University (FENU) has a natural starting point,
1990, when democratic reforms in Russia began and Dr. V.I. Kurilov was elected FENU
President by the FENU faculty and staff. Since then, FENU followed a long term development
strategy that launched it into the class with the few Russian leading universities. Major
priorities of this strategy remain the same: opening innovative educational programs based on
a vision for civilization’s future development; strong support of fundamental and applied
science as the basis of high quality education; special attention to research and education in
natural sciences; internationalization with top tier universities and research institutions of the
world; active promotion of Russian education, research, and culture; development of cutting
edge IT-based resources; and protection of moral and cultural values.
В зеленой рамке:
In the 1990’s the FENU’s network of research and education centers was created by
establishing several institutes that united academic schools with leading research centers and
labs.
Implementation of this strategy would have been impossible without the great “internal energy” of
the faculty and staff of the University. During the hard time of the 1990’s reforms, FENU
successfully used many opportunities which became available when Vladivostok was opened for
international relations and Russian universities got considerable autonomy. This autonomy allowed
FENU to undertake various international initiatives and attract foreign investments to large scale
educational and research projects. The results of these projects were decisive for further
development of FENU.
In the 1990’s FENU’s network of research and education centers was created by establishing
several institutes that united academic schools with leading research centers and labs. This approach
required close cooperation with the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
(с37)
During the difficult times of Russian economical reforms, when many natural sciences schools and
labs were closed, FENU kept opening joint subdivisions with the Russian Academy of Sciences
such as the School of Physics and Technology, the Geological School, the Division of Biochemistry
and Biotechnology, the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science, the Academy of Ecology,
Marine Biology and Biotechnology, and many other interactive centers of education and research.
These centers brought to FENU exceptional international and national grant support essential for
further successful development of the University. FENU regularly establishes new institutes,
combining education and research in various fields of human knowledge.

This is only a brief list of major centers and programs opened during the last 18 years.
Besides FENU’s own subdivisions, the University helped to establish or develop over 40
schools and departments of Russian Studies abroad; additionally, dozens of schools and
centers of Oriental Studies have been opened by FENU alumni in the Russian Far East.
The scale and level of FENU’s educational programs have changed considerably since 1990: the
number of higher educational degree specialties grew by 5 times, the number of students 6 times,
the number of doctoral research specialties 3 times and the number of doctoral students 20 times.
According to national and international ratings of grant competition results, FENU is one of the best
Russian universities and the best in select fields.
International activities of FENU changed even more dramatically since 1990. In 1990 FENU was
practically isolated from the international educational society; but now FENU is the main or one of
the main educational partners for China, Japan, Republic of Korea, Democratic People's Republic
of Korea, India and many countries of South East Asia. FENU is the only Russian member of the
most prestigious university association of the Pacific Rim, the Association of Pacific Rim
Universities (APRU), that unites 42 leading research universities of the region; FENU one of the
founders of this association.
Among FENU’s qualitative characteristics of successful university development during these years
are many exceptional national and international awards (P. 24-25).

Основной текст c48-49:
For historical reasons, university education and fundamental science in Russia are institutionally
separated. Nevertheless, 250 years of the development of the first university in this country,
Lomonosov Moscow State University, and other universities, have been accompanied by the
establishment of different scientific schools on the base of these universities. It is quite evident that
top-quality education can not exist without fundamental science, and science can not develop
without an inflow of young researchers. This is the basic principle of the development of science
and education at FENU. Strengthening, developing and securing continuity of 34 leading research
schools of FENU receive constant and careful attention. Establishing and developing new scientific
schools, primarily those that are considered priorities and are included in the list of critical
technologies of Russian Federation, get effective support.
FENU conducts research in 27 specialties of sciences and 25 specialties of arts and humanities.
Research potential and efficiency has allowed FENU, among the first seven institutions of higher
education of Russia, to be accredited as a research institution.
48
FENU research programs are supervised by its Academic Council, Office of Research Programs,
Office of Information Technologies, Institute of Doctoral and Post-Doctoral Programs, directors,
deans and chairs.
В рамке:
The research programs of FENU conform to “Priorities in the Development of Science,
Technology and Engineering in The Russian Federation” and “List of Critical Technologies of
the Russian Federation” as ratified by President of the Russian Federation on May 21, 2006.
In accordance with the list, FENU selected several research areas for priority funding and
administrative support.
At FENU, introduction of innovative approaches towards research programs, along with traditional
forms, receives close attention. This allows integration of scientific research and educational
programs to a new level, as well as luring investment into certain scientific projects. These
approaches develop with respect to current scientific traditions of cooperation. For example,
FENU’s cooperation with different institutes of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of
Science within the framework of Federal Program “Integration” and other programs provided
achievement of a new level of joint research and educational programs at FENU. As a result,
FENU, with the support of different institutes of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of
Science, established the following units: Academy of Ecology, Marine Biology, and Biotechnology,
Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science, Institute of Environmental Sciences, Institute of
Physics and Information Technologies, Institute of Russian Language and Literature, and others
(p.12). This practice allows cooperation of scholars of the highest ranks and leads to higher levels
of integration. Joint resolutions of FENU’s Academic Council and Presidium of the Far Eastern
Branch of the Russian Academy of Science govern these structures and regulate the establishment
of new units.

The FENU Innovational Educational Program of 2006-2008 was federally financed through
the competitive grant program Priority National Project “Education”. FENU was among 17
out of 197 Russian institutions of higher education to receive a grant from this program.
FENU received the third highest funding award after Moscow State University and SaintPetersburg State University). FENU’s award from the Innovational Educational Program
was 1198 mln rubles: 856 mln rubles from the federal budget and 342 mln rubles from extrabudgetary funds of FENU. The majority of the grant was use to purchase of state-of-the-art
laboratory equipment.
Основной текст стр. 52:
The long-term objective of the FENU Innovational Educational Program is to raise the standard of
living of people in the Russian Far East ( RUSSIAN FAR EAST). This objective will be achieved
through investment in human resources by development of an innovative educational environment
for training scientific and technical personnel in technologies that will raise the standard of living.
FENU Innovational Education Program Objectives:
1. Sustainable development of the regional educational system based on the integration of
fundamental science, education, and industry;
2. FENU innovative development;
3. Export of educational programs and R&D products, promotion of Russian culture in the Pacific
Rim countries, and increase in the investment attractiveness of the Russian Far East;
4. Developing new information infrastructure by blending information resources of FENU, its
branches, Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Science, and FENU’s partners abroad.
The FENU Innovational Educational Program is closely connected with one of the priority
geopolitical challenges facing Russia: development of the Russian Far East and its integration into
Russia’s internal and external political and economic processes. Countries nearest the RUSSIAN
FAR EAST are Japan, Republic of Korea, and China which along with other Pacific Rim countries
are gaining an increasing share of the world’s high-tech production. FENU’s Innovational
Educational Program will contribute to integration of the RUSSIAN FAR EAST into the high-tech
sectors that are rapidly developing in the Pacific Rim.
54
Living standards are an integrated index including characteristics such as labor demand, population
safety, development and accessibility to information resources, health, diet, and environmental
conditions. Raising living standards is impossible without the development of the economy, social
infrastructure, legal system, intercultural communication and mobility, and strengthening of world
security. Development of biotechnology and medicine, new information technologies,
nanotechnologies, socio-cultural technologies, development of many other areas of research and
education are necessary. The Russian Far East needs highly qualified personnel who are capable of
ensuring dynamic development of the region through development and application of innovative
technologies in all spheres of human activities. Therefore, one of the most important objectives will
be achieved through investment in human resources by development of an innovative educational
environment for training scientific and technical personnel in technologies that will raise the
standard of living.
Rapid economic, social and political development of the Pacific Rim countries will be impossible
without the highly qualified personnel whose training will be concentrated in only several dozen of
the leading universities of the Pacific Rim. These universities have the extensive state-of-the-art
research, education and information capabilities which ensure the necessary quality of training.
FENU is the only university in the RUSSIAN FAR EAST with this capability. Priority financing
within the FENU Innovational Educational Program to purchase of state-of-the-art laboratory and
research equipment will ensure comparability of FENU standards with standards of leading research
centers of the Pacific Rim.
The FENU Innovative Education Program provided funds to set up a unique resource center,
facilitating development of high-tech industries clusters in the RUSSIAN FAR EAST and the
whole of Russia, and raising competitiveness of educational services and R&D of the Russian Far
East in the world market which contributes to improved demographics, migration and naturalization
patterns in the RUSSIAN FAR EAST.
В рамке с. 53:
The most important result of the FENU Innovative Education Program is developing an
innovative education and scientific environment that in a leading university will contribute to
the successful development of the RUSSIAN FAR EAST standard of living.
FENU Innovational Education Program Outcomes:
The following research, education, and technologiocal centers were jointly established by FENU
and the Far Eastern Branch of Russian Academy of Science:
Nanophysics and Nanotechnologies Research and Education Center
Informational Technologies and Optoelectronics Research and Education Center
Earth Physics Research and Education Center
Medical Physics Research and Education Center
Primorsky (Vladivostok) Aquarium Research and Education Center
Satellite Geodesic (GPS&GLONASS) Technologies Research, Technological, and Educational
Center
World Ocean Center for Innovations and Technology Development
Innovative programs of higher education in 53 new specialties and majors have been opened on the
base of new and existing FENU units. Many of these programs are unique for the Russian Far
Eastern and Eastern Siberia, some of them – for the whole country.
State-of-the-art high-tech equipment for research and developments in nanotechnologies and
nanomaterials, biotechnologies, medical and information technologies, petroleum chemistry, fuel
55
and carbonic materials technologies, and technologies in marine studies will contribute to training
highly qualified personnel.
New laboratories and remodeled and reequipped research and education facilities are among the
latest developments at FENU.
A number of new technologies in distance learning and academic performance assessment were
installed; and intra-network of satellite broadcasting projects “FENU-Teleport” and “FENUMediacenter” for representatives and branches of FENU are being launched. FENU has also
established local resource centers at representative offices and a number of international educational
and research projects.
Finalization of agreement between FENU, Ministry of Education of Chinese Peoples' Republic and
Heilongjiang University marked the establishment of the Russian-Chinese Institute of Postgraduate
Studies and the Confucius Institute which will greatly contribute to the educational, research and
business collaboration between Russia and China (detailed information about these institutes on p.
89 and 91).

Marine Biota Research and Education Center (REC)
В зеленой рамке:
Research at FENU’s Marine Biota REC is facilitated by the unique geographical location of
Vladivostok which is often referred to as the sea gates of Russia in the Pacific Rim. Off-shore
waters of the RFE and seas of the Pacific Rim are habitats to millions of marine animal and
plant species. Many of them have commercial value and are used in research to develop
biologically active substances and medicines. Other species are endemic and some are
threaten with extinction. Investigations by the Marine Biota REC will foster preservation of
biodiversity and marine ecosystems both vitally important for future generations.
В бежевой рамке:
The Marine Biota REC established in 1999 is the oldest Research and Education Center of
FENU. It served as a model for six other FENU RECs (p. 32). Dozens of grants won by the
Marine Biota REC provided outside financing of more than $3,000,000. Achievements of the
Marine Biota REC and its effective interaction with different research and education units of
FENU within the framework of Marine Biota REC projects served as a basic concept of the
FENU Innovative Education Program. These achievements contributed greatly to FENU’s
winning a federal grant for innovative institutions of higher education of 2006; the Marine
Biota REC demonstrated FENU’s desire and ability to implement such a concept.
The Marine Biota REC is affiliated with the Division of Biology (Academy of Ecology, Marine
Biology and Biotechnology) and School of Chemistry (Institute of Chemistry and Applied Ecology)
and is supported by the U.S. Civilian Research & Development Foundation (CRDF) and Ministry
of Education and Science of Russian Federation. Marine Biota REC projects won national grants in
REC network project competition with initial grant financing of more than $1,000,000 and
$2,000,000 more in subsequent competitions. These grants funded purchase of research equipment
that made the Marine Biota REC one of the best research centers of the Pacific Rim.
56
Cooperation with research and educational programs of other research institutions contributes to the
success of Marine Biota REC. The basic tasks of the center are the high-quality training of
specialists in marine biota research, investigations in priority marine research and development of
equipment/instrument and information bases. Marine Biota research projects incorporate
traditionally strong FENU fundamental research in three related disciplines: biology, chemistry and
biotechnology.
The Marine Biota REC has 12 research and education program laboratories.
Marine Biota’s research underlies the development of numerous textbooks and other educational
materials. Marine Biota REC sponsors annual student conferences and regional schools for young
scientists investigating priority problems in chemistry and biology. The center organizes English
language courses to facilitate acquisition of terminology in chemistry and biology and to enhance
English for communication with the foreign counterparts. Marine Biota also sponsors an English
club where undergraduates, graduates and young scientists can practice English.
The Marine Biota REC collaborates with FEBRAS both in joint research projects and educational
programs. Marine Biota, together with other units of FENU and three institutes of FEBRAS–
Institute of Marine Biology, Pacific Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry and Institute of Chemistry started the Far-Eastern Center for Structural Research and Analysis whose unique equipment is
used by researchers from different institutions allowing solution of research, applied analytical and
ecological problems.
Every year FENU’s undergraduate and graduate students go on expeditions and field trips to the
Zapovednoe Marine Biology Research Station (FENU), Vostok Station (Institute of Marine

FENU's Interregional Institute of Social Sciences (IISS)
FENU's Interregional Institute of Social Sciences, plus other units of FENU and the Far Eastern
Branch of the Russian Academy of Science (FEBRAS), will soon form the FENU Humanitarian
Technological Park (HTP) modeled on the organization of the FENU Innovational Educational
Program.
The IISS, also known as the Far East Center for Advanced Studies and Education; was created in
2001 after FENU won a grant in the All-Russian competition in the Interregional Studies in Social
Sciences program.
The grant competition was organized in 2000 by the Moscow ISE Center with financing from the
Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian
Federation and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. The main objectives of the
program were mobilizing intellectual and professional potential of the Russian scientific
community, strengthening and developing research networks, giving institutional and individual
support to Russian social scientists, promoting integration of Russian scientists into the world
58
scientific community and introducing the Russian scientific community as an integral part of civil
society.
With another grant of $1,000,000 from the program “Russia and Asia-Pacific Rim Countries:
Global Security, Conflicts and Cooperation in the 21st Century”, FENU became one of nine leading
Russian universities forming a network of interregional institutes of social sciences.
Priority areas of research:
-Pacific Rim
-Pacific Rim countries: political problems of international relations and
global development
sia-Pacific Rim integration processes; and ways of
promoting ethno-cultural and interfaith tolerance and global security in the Pacific Rim
-Pacific Rim: problems and
competitive advantages
Eventually the FENU IISS became a place where “people and ideas meet”. It serves as a creativecommunication facility for the international community of experts and researchers and as
innovational “testing ground” in Asia-Pacific Rim studies. Some of the events which contributed
greatly to such status are the international conference “Role of the Trans-Siberian Railroad in
Cooperation Between Asia -Pacific Rim Countries: the Prospect of Connecting the Trans-Siberian
and Trans-Korean Railroads” held in collaboration with the Korean Research Foundation (KRF);
the international conference “Asian-Pacific Rim Realities, Prospects, and Projects of the 21st
Century”; the international symposium “Dialogue of Arts - Art of Dialogue”; the round table
“Challenges to Security in Northeastern Asia: New Realities and Approaches”; the Third Pacific
Forum of Neighboring Countries “Migrations and Ethnic Communities: the Potential of
Development of Pacific Russia” and many other events with participation of prominent scholars
from Russia and abroad.
The FENU IISS works closely with noted research centers in Russia and abroad. In 2003, the IISS
and the Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies (Honolulu, USA) signed a memorandum of
cooperation which brought many tangible results: joint conferences, scientific exchanges, and the
monograph “Russia, America and Security in the Asia-Pacific Rim” published in 2007 in Russian
and English.
In 2008-2009, ISS research has focused on trans-border migrations, Russian-Chinese relations, and
problems of integrating the Russian Far East in the Asia-Pacific Rim. Today the Interregional
Institute of Social Sciences is actively engaged in developing the concept of the FENU
Humanitarian Technological Park (HTP) by analyzing world experience in establishing such
institutions.

World Ocean Center for Innovations and Technology Development
In March 2008, the FENU Academic Council and the FEBRAS Presidium made a joint decision to
establish the World Ocean Center for Innovations and Technology Development. Its goals include:
(1) development of research technologies and exploitation of resources of open water of the World
Ocean based on the research and technology potential accumulated at FENU and FEBRAS; (2)
implementation of research outcomes; and (3) research staff and faculty development in the field of
64
marine resources. Exploitation of the world ocean resources is one of the most complicated and
challenging tasks faced in the third millennium. National interests of the Russian Federation in this
field enhance the role of world ocean research and research and manufacturing. Additionally,
research and educational organizations must establish innovative programs for developing
technologies for exploitation of world ocean resources, as well as for training highly-qualified
personnel to implement Russian Federal Targeted Programs and other Russian and international
projects of world ocean exploitation. In the process of creating “The Research and Education
Resource Center for Improving Life Quality Technologies in the Russian Far East,” FENU and
FEBRAS have amassed a wealth of experience in creation of research and educational innovative
programs, including those for exploring and exploiting marine resources.
In the World Ocean Center for Innovations and Technology Development, FENU is
represented by the Institute of Physics and Information Technologies, the Academy of Ecology,
Marine Biology, and Biotechnology, the Institute of Chemistry and Applied Ecology, the Institute
of Environmental Sciences, the Institute of Law, the Far Eastern Institute of Innovative
Technologies and Quality, the Local Studies Research Institute, the Institute of Mathematics and
Computer Science, the Research and Education Center in Marine Biota, and the Office of
Maintenance Engineering Support of Marine Research and Ship Operation. The FEBRAS is
represented by the Pacific Oceanological Institute, the Institute of Marine Technology Problems,
the Institute of Automation and Control Processes, the Institute of Marine Biology, the Pacific
Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, the Institute of Chemistry, the Far Eastern Geological Institute,
the Institute of Archeology, History and Ethnography, the Medical Department, and the Department
of Marine Research Fleet.
Today the FEBRAS and FENU are capable of implementing large-scale research projects of
federal targeted programs, as well as orders of national and commercial organizations and
enterprises needed to locate regions of potential mineral resources, map seas and oceans, predict
dangerous and disastrous phenomena, provide navigational safety, evaluate biological resources and
develop modern technical methods of marine research and exploitation.
The Department of Submarine Robotic Facilities of the Institute of Physics and Information
Technologies was established with FEBRAS participation to train highly qualified personnel for
managing unmanned submarine vehicles and processing telemetric information.
A.F. Scherbatyuk, Chairman of the Department of Submarine Robotic Facilities, led a team
of Vladivostok students who participated in the world championship of submarine robotic
engineering in the summer of 2008. Graduates of the Institute of Physics and Information
Technologies became the first certified pilots of the remote controlled submarine vehicle
“COMANCHE-6000”. They were trained by the Sub-Atlantic Company in Great Britain and in
Gelendzhik.
In September 2008, the remote controlled submarine vehicle “COMANCHE-6000” acquired
through to the FENU Innovative Program of the National Priority Project “Education,” underwent
sea trials. Boris L. Reznik, FENU First Vice-President, led the expedition on board the research
ship Professor Bogorov. The expedition included personnel from FENU, FEBRAS Institute of
Marine Biology, and the Institute of Marine Technology Problems, the Divetechnoservice
Company, and the Sub-Atlantic Company, COMANCHE-6000’s builder. During the tests,
COMANCHE-6000 dived several times in Peter-the Great Bay, to depths of 40 and 75 meters.
There are only 9 vehicles of the Comanche class in the world. FENU’s COMANCHE-6000
is unique in its configuration of scientific equipment. It also has video capabilities and
hydrolocation equipment as well as standard industrial manipulators.

FENU Educational District
В рамке:
The FENU Educational District is the joint project of the Education and Science Department
of Primorsky Krai Administration and Far Eastern National University (FENU). Among its
principal goals are development of a continuous education system and uniting creative
students all over the region.
The FENU Educational District was created in October, 1999 by decision of the National Education
Administration Board (Primorsky Krai) and FENU’s Academic Council. The district unites more
than 50 municipal educational institutions of Primorsky Krai. The FENU Educational District unites
both FENU institutes and other structural units, and municipal and private institutions of secondary
education. Its programs focus on improvement of educational level, overcoming the gap between
secondary school and university, and bringing FENU resources into general education.
Each year more than 4500 students, from kindergarten children to high school graduates, enroll in
different pre-tertiary programs of FENU. More than 50% of new students admitted to FENU have
taken preparatory courses within the framework of the FENU Educational District. The key element
of pre-tertiary educational programs is that students can choose vocational training programs or
advanced level courses in a particular field. Thus, FENU meets individual needs of its prospective
students and introduces them to the tertiary education environment.
FENU Educational District Objectives
 Providing students with facilities for continuous education
 Betterment of pre-tertiary programs and spotting children with high potential as FENU
prospective students
 Support and development of novel curricula at secondary educational institutions
 Research in methods of teaching and psychological approaches to foster intellectual growth
in gifted children
 Social support of educational services
 Implementation of the most efficient and innovative teaching methods and education
technologies
 Creation of experimental educational sites
В рамке:
Development of the FENU Educational district is ensured, in the first place, by FENU’s great
potential and accessibility of its facilities such as libraries, laboratories, information centers,
and faculty.
FENU Educational District Activities
 Implementation of the principles of continuity and openness in education into educational
practices of the FENU Educational District’s institutions
 Involvement of FENU faculty into design and implementation of advanced level curricula
 Vocational assessment and guidance services for prospective students
 Implementation of an assessment system for monitoring education quality at secondary
educational institutions

The FENU Educational District’s Special Features
 An open educational environment integrated with a higher education system that provides
workshops, use of research laboratories, and special courses
 Diversified curricula
 Muli-level curricular in general academic disciplines (John, I am not sure this makes sense
but I think they mean that the same academic discipline can be taught at different levels, for
example, from intermediate to advanced, depending on what students can do)
 Design of individualized curricula under supervision of innovative teachers, FENU faculty
members and scholars of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences
 Raise self-fulfillment and develop leadership skills and creativity in secondary school
children through their involvement in research, social, artistic and business projects

Far East and Pacific Rim countries. Besides, FENU's Institute of Postgraduate Studies prepares
specialists for research institutes of the Russian Far East and other regions of Russia, for municipal
and federal institutions and other national and international institutions. Most foreign postgraduate
students are from Japan, Republic of Korea, China, and Vietnam. Among research supervisors of
FENU postgraduate students, there are 182 FENU faculty membes including 93 Doctors of Science.
In recent years the number of Russian postgraduate students has been stable while the number of
foreign postgraduate students has grown rapidly. For Chinese postgraduate students, the RussianChinese Institute of Postgraduate Studies was established in 2006 jointly with Chinese Government

FENU Institute of International Education (FENU IIE)
The Russian School, the first educational institution for foreign students at FENU, was established
in 1989 as part of the FENU International Department. On June 19, 2008 the Academic Council of
FENU granted it the status of institute. Today the Institute of International Education teaches
courses of Russian language and Russian Studies to foreign students from many countries.
FENU IIE is a unique educational institution both in number of foreign graduates from European
and Asia-Pacific Rim countries (more than 5,000) and in quality of instruction. IIE professors have
long-standing work experience with foreign students; they are authors of more than 20 textbooks
and other teaching materials published at FENU and Zlatoust Publishing House, St. Petersburg. All
professors of FENU IIE have certificates of testers of the Russian State System in Testing Russian
as a Foreign Language.
Certificates of the Institute of International Education have been awarded to students from Japan,
Republic of Korea, People's Democratic Republic of Korea, USA, Chinese Peoples' Republic, Great
Britain, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Finland, Nigeria, Canada, Bulgaria, Netherlands, France,
Switzerland, Thailand, Taiwan, Peru, Brazil, New Zealand, Austria, Mongolia and many other
countries. Among those who enroll in the IIE’s programs are undergraduate and graduate students,
professors of foreign universities, entrepreneurs, businesspeople, and officers of companies and
consulates located in Vladivostok.
77
Many foreign students of undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate programs enroll in different
Russian language courses or take such courses prior to their full-time programs. All foreign students
of FENU, one way or another, are involved with the IIE.
In 1998 the Russian School obtained the status of Regional Russian Language Testing Center for
Foreign Citizens. In 2003 it joined the system of Russian educational institutions which offer
testing services in Russian as a foreign language to those applying for citizenship of the Russian
Federation.
The students of the IIE not only master the Russian language but also are involved in a wide range
of extracurricular activities. They take part in sports competitions, excursions around Vladivostok
and Primorsky Krai, go on sea trips, go to theaters and museums, and participate in different
festivals and contests. Additionally, the IIE has created many unique traditions, such as the Golden
Fall sports competition, held every October in which teams of Korean, Chinese, Japanese,
American and British students compete with each other. Another is the Day of Cultures, a student
festival celebrated every November, where students dress in their national folk costumes, perform
traditional dances and songs, hold tea ceremonies and treat each other to dishs of national cuisines.
Students of the IIE establish strong ties with FENU students through the Tolerance Center.
Together they hold festivals where they learn about Russian culture and discuss problems facing
young people.
Still another tradition, started in the Russian School and continuing at the IIE, is the annual Festival
of Foreign Students of the Russian Far East which has become a true celebration of Russian
language, uniting young people from European and Asia-Pacific Rim countries. It is attended by
foreign student teams from higher educational institutions of Khabarovsk, Blagoveshchenk, and
Ussuriisk, Vladivostok and many other cities. The Fifth Festival of Foreign Students of the Russian
Far East in December 2008 drew 11 teams, 270 participants and more than 400 fans.

On December 17, 2007, by decision of the Board of Trustees of the Russkiy Mir Foundation
the Far Eastern Branch (FEB) of the Russkiy Mir Foundation was established. Its goal is to
promote Russian language and culture in the Far East and support Russian language teaching
programs abroad.
Основной текст:
FEB is a regional unit of the Russkiy Mir Foundation, a non-profit organization. The FEB office is
located in the new building of the FENU Fundamental Library – Institute of Research Information.
The FEB mission is promotion of Russian language and culture in the Far Eastern Federal District
and Pacific Rim countries.

Far Eastern National University Branch in Hakodate. The opening of the Russian Center of the
Russkiy Mir Foundation in Vietnam is in progress at Ho Chi Minh National University. Russian
Centers are also planned in China at Changchun Normal University and Dalian University of
Foreign Languages and in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) at the University of
Foreign Languages in Pyongyang.
Russkiy Mir Foundation works to preserve the Russian language and promote the Russian language
and literature in Russia and abroad. With support of its City Administration, Vladivostok is
decorated with posters containing citations of great Russian authors and poets about the Russian
language, its richness and beauty. These posters are meant to attract attention of Vladivostok
residents and guests to the native language and culture.
Russkiy Mir’s FEB participates in events held by the Asian Pacific Association of Russian
Language and Literature Teachers, especially in research and events related to training and teaching
such as conferences, seminars and literature contests. It works with secondary school students,
Russian and foreign university students and residents of the Russian Far East. Events are held not
only in Vladivostok and Primorsky Krai but also in Khabarovsk, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, and

В рамке:
On November 1, 2008, the Russkiy Mir Foundation launched the 4th International Contest for
Foreign Citizens “The Russian Language As A Way To Success”. The contest has two stages
and will finish in March 2009. In early December 2008, the Russkiy Mir Foundation FEB
also participated in the 5th Festival of Foreign Students Studying in the Russian Far East
sponsored by Far Eastern National University and the Asian Pacific Association of Russian
Language and Literature Teachers.
In 2009, the Far Eastern Branch is planning to host the international conference “Russian Studies
and Diasporas in the North Pacific” with participation of the University of California, Berkeley
(USA). The conference is designed for people interested in the “Russian world”, Russian culture
and language in Asian Pacific countries. The conference theme will attract not only people who are
fond of Russian culture but also researchers from various fields. The conference is planned to be
two-staged. The first stage will be held at FENU: The Russian World in China, Japan, Republic of
Korea, and DPRK. The second stage will be at the University of California, Berkeley: Russian
Communities in San-Francisco, Los-Angeles and Seattle. The conference is intended for both
Russians living abroad and foreign guests who are fond of the Russian culture and who speak
Russian. The conference will facilitate sharing experiences of preserving the “Russian world” in
other countries. No doubt, Russian people living in Russia who care to preserve the Russian
language in this country and strengthen its status around the world will also be interested in the
conference. This conference will facilitate cooperation in promoting the Russian language and
culture in the Asian Pacific Region.

attractive to foreign universities. These factors make it possible for foreign educational institutions
to accept academic credits granted by FENU, ensure high academic performance of FENU students
studying in different majors and Bachelor Degree programs, and allow FENU graduates admission
to Master Degree programs of foreign universities. The experience of FENU in solving numerous
visa, organizational and everyday problems facing FENU students abroad, allows FENU to
successfully support interests of its students.
The most popular educational programs among FENU students are different language courses in
English, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Hindi, and languages of Southeast Asia. Demand in
educational programs of higher education not connected with the study of languages is also growing
with each year. Through the Office of International Educational Programs and Academic Mobility it
is possible for FENU students to study in Bachelor and Master Degree programs at many leading
universities of the world.

Academic exchange programs and favorable terms for FENU students
В рамке:
Among numerous foreign institutions of higher education where FENU students study, there
is a special group that agrees to admit FENU students on favorable terms with tuition charges
considerably lower than for other categories of students. In return, FENU provides favorable
terms for their students or creates other favorable conditions for cooperation.
Favorable terms of educational programs attract students in both directions. That is why the list of
FENU’s partners is truly an exchange program list; the list of universities accepting FENU students
is nearly the same as the list of universities sending students to FENU.
The list of FENU’s partners in exchange programs includes these institutions:
China: Guandong University of Foreign Studies, Dalian University of Foreign Languages, Wuhan
University, Heilongjiang University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Beijing Language and Culture

В рамке:
FENU students have the opportunity to study in international dual degree programs with
integrated curriculums and favorable terms provided by FENU’s foreign partners. In these
programs tuition paid to foreign institutions is two to five times lower than standard tuition.
FENU’s international dual degree programs are of two types – on-campus programs and mixed
programs. In on-campus programs, FENU students enroll in distant learning courses at foreign

for one or two semesters. These programs include:
-American Dual Degree Program in International Economics and Management,
jointly with the University of Maryland University College (P. 110)
Russian-American Dual Degree Program in Hospitality Management, jointly with
Education Institute of the American Hotel & Lodging Association (P. 113)
-Australian Dual Degree Program in International Economics and Management,
jointly with the University of Southern Queensland (P. 107)
Mixed programs usually require that FENU students study in Vladivostok for the first two years, go
abroad for two more years of study, then return to Vladivostok for the fifth year of the program at
FENU. These programs include:
-Chinese Dual Degree Program in Philology and Regional Studies, jointly with
Heilongjiang University at Harbin and the Russian-Chinese Dual Degree Program in Philology and
Regional Studies, jointly with the Dalian University of Foreign Languages;

В рамке:
In many aspects FENU is the major university partner of China in Russia.
Today China is often referred to as “a rising giant”: the combination of dynamically developing
economy, ancient culture and about 1.5 billion people makes it one of the main poles of today’s
multipolar world. FENU is the largest Russian university near China. Chinese studies have been
one of the key directions of FENU’s educational and research policy since the Oriental Institute, the
predecessor of Far Eastern National University, was established in 1899. Cooperation with the PRC
is not limited to studying the Chinese language, economy, history, and culture. Many Chinese
students study in FENU tertiary education programs in science, regional studies, international
relations, and other disciplines. The range of research fields where Chinese post-graduate students
are involved in FENU is rapidly growing.
В рамке:
Development of FENU relations with China is supported by high ranking political leaders of
People’s Republic of China (PRC). Among those who have visited the university and
contributed to Russian-Chinese cooperation with FENU are Li Peng, Chairman, Standing
Committee of the National Peoples Congress of China (Honorary Doctor of FENU); Li
Tieying, Deputy Prime Minister, State Council (Honorary Doctor of FENU); Chen Zhili,
Minister of Education; Li Zhaoxing, Minister of Foreign Affairs; Zhang Xinsheng, Deputy
84
Minister of Education (Honorary Doctor of FENU), and many others. Other Honorary
Doctors of FENU include Yi Junqing, President, Heilongjiang University, PRC.
With the cooperation of these leaders, FENU established institutions and centers unique in Russia
or units existing only in two or three other leading Russian universities. These institutions and
centers play important roles not only in academic and research cooperation between Russia and
China but also in creating a favorable political climate between the two great nations.
FENU closely cooperates with the PRC Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the
Office of the Chinese Language Council International (“Hanban”), and Confucious Institute
Headquarters. The PRC Consul General in Khabarovsk and the Consulate employees who actively
support the university in developing Russian-Chinese cooperation are frequent guests at FENU.
В рамке:
FENU has dual degree programs with Heilongjiang University (Harbin) and Dalian
University of Foreign Languages. Chinese graduates of these programs receive a FENU
tertiary education diploma in “Regional Studies,” together with a Chinese Bachelor Degree
while Russian graduates are awarded a Chinese diploma of Bachelor in Philology or Foreign
Trade.
FENU also cooperates with Beijing Language and Culture University, Wuhan University plus many
others. As a member of the Association of Pacific Rim Universities (APRU), FENU cooperates
with leading PRC universities in tertiary education – Fudan University (Shanghai), the Peking
University, and Tsinghua University (Beijing) – in student internships and other programs.
FENU cooperation with the PRC's Chinese Academy of Social Sciences includes joint research
projects, conferences, publishing books, and joint research publications. FENU scholars of the
Chinese Department are awarded Academy grants for research in several areas of natural science.
The Chinese Association of International Academic Exchanges is active in student exchanges with
FENU and educational service exhibitions.
FENU cooperates with PRC's Sport Federation of Asian Universities to send track-and-field,
football and tennis sport teams to China every year.
Students of the FENU Institute of International Tourism and Hospitality regularly have internships
in the hotels “Sinoway”, “Longmen”, “Plaza” (Harbin) and many others.

В рамке:
In the first half of the XX century faculty members and alumni of the Institute of Oriental
Studies – FENU contributed to establishment of several Chinese higher educational institutes
and to development of the higher education system of the Northern China.
Approximately 350 students are enrolled in the tertiary education programs of the FENU School of
Sinology in 2 specialties, 4 majors, and 2 minors. Additionally, approximately 600 students,
enrolled in other FENU higher education programs, study Chinese language, culture and economics
in FENU. Three levels of higher education are available: undergraduate study (4 years), 5 year
study (post-bachelor level, old Russian standard of higher education), and 2 year graduate study.
Within the “Oriental and African Studies” specialty, FENU School of Sinology provides degree
programs in three majors: “Languages and Literature of Asian and African Countries”, “History of
Asian and African Countries”, and “Social and Economic Development of Asian and African
Countries”.
Within the “Regional Studies” specialty, the major in Sinology is split into two minors: “Regional
Management and Intercultural Communication” and “Foreign Policy of China”.
Regardless of their major, all graduates of the programs earn certificates of “Chinese language
translators in the sphere of professional communication” and “English language translator”.
Graduates of post-bachelor programs are also certified as translators from English. Most students
take one-year internship courses in the Chinese language at one of the Chinese universities. Honor
students receive grants from the Office of the Chinese Language Council International (“Hanban”).
Research programs
Teaching the Chinese language is closely connected with research conducted by faculty and
students of the FENU School of Sinology. Its major research areas are: Chinese linguistics, Chinese
literature, history of China, economy of China and Russian-Chinese relations. Results of research
are regularly published in numerous books and articles. “New Start” and “New Objective,”
educational materials written by faculty members of FENU and Heilongjiang University in 20012004 and intended for Russian students studying Chinese, are the most complete and systematic in
the field, including primary, secondary, and higher education. These educational materials include
teacher’s manuals, textbooks, and workbooks for college students, textbooks and workbooks for
school students, and audio cassettes for all categories of students.

Russian-Chinese Institute for Post-Graduate Studies
The Russian-Chinese Institute for Post-Graduate Studies was jointly established in 2005 by FENU,
Heilongjiang University and the Ministry of Education, PRC. Heilongjiang University is
responsible for enrolling students from all over China in graduate and post-graduate programs of
this Institute. In September 2005, the first Chinese post-graduate students enrolled in programs in

Alumni of the School of Sinology
In the first decades of the 20th century, graduates of the Oriental Institute contributed greatly to
establishing a number of Chinese universities such as Harbin Normal University’s School of Law,
Harbin Institute of Asian Studies and Commerce and Harbin College of Commerce, thus promoting
the development of the system of tertiary education of China. Oriental Institute graduates taught
there as well as in Peking University, Shanghai International Studies University, Harbin NorthManchurian University, Harbin Institute of Technology and Harbin Railway Technical College.
Among them were such prominent scholars and educators as I.G. Baranov, Chair of the Chinese
Language at Harbin Institute of Technology, who published more than 150 works on China;
A.P. Khionin, founder and first Director of the Harbin Institute of Asian Studies and Commerce;
P.V. Shkurkin, author of about 100 works on China who was awarded the Chinese Double Dragon
Order; A.V. Spitsin and I.A. Dobrovolsky who were awarded Chinese government’s orders “For
outstanding achievements in developing cultural and economic relations between Russia and
China.” Prof. M.I. Sladkovsky, Corresponding Fellow of the Russian Academy of Science, became
one of the founders and the first Director of the Institute of the Far East, Moscow.
For nearly 100 years, until the 1990s, FENU was the only university in the Russian Far East to train
specialists in Chinese studies. Since the early 1990s, more than 15 Siberian and Far Eastern
universities have opened similar educational programs, many with the help of FENU. Most
teachers in these programs are FENU graduates who constitute more than 90 % of Sinologists in the
Russian Far East.
В рамке:
Approximately 2000 sinologists have graduated from FENU since Asian studies programs
were recommenced in1962. They work in many cities of the Russian Far East, in Moscow and
St. Petersburg and abroad. The Institute of Sinology’s alumni pursue many different careers;
some have become Doctors of Sc., professors, and government employees; others are in
military service and tax agencies while some have chosen business or pursued diplomatic
careers and work in representative offices in Russia, China and other countries.

В рамке:
The FENU Regional Center of the Chinese Language is the oldest in Russia, founded jointly
with the Ministry of Education, PRC, in 2000. Two other centers are the Institute of Asian
and African Countries of Lomonosov Moscow State University and St. Petersburg State
University founded by the PRC Ministry of Education and Ministry of Education of Russia.
In 2008, a branch of the FENU Regional Center of the Chinese Language was opened in the
Far Eastern State University of the Humanities (Khabarovsk).
The Center’s main objective is promoting friendship, cooperation, and mutual understanding
between peoples of Russia and PRC, supporting and developing quality of teaching and research in
the Chinese language, culture, history, politics, economics, philosophy, and providing opportunities
for faculty and student contacts of both countries’.
Before the Confucius Institute opened in December 2006, the Center of the Chinese Language was
responsible for holding regional contests in Chinese among the Russian Far East and the transBaikal region students, student festivals in Vladivostok and exhibitions of “Chinese Tertiary
Education Institutions”. The Center distributed sets of Chinese language teaching materials
developed by FENU and Heilongjiang University in the Russian Far East and Zabaikalye. The
Center invited volunteer Chinese teachers from PRC to work at secondary schools and universities,
participated in the development of the Russian-Chinese Institute of Post-Graduate Studies and
started a contest in calligraphy among schoolchildren and college students from Primorsky Krai.
Today the Center is a unit of the Confucius Institute.

FENU’s Confucius Institute offers many Chinese language courses, such as “Chinese Praxis”
(basic, elementary, intermediary, and advanced levels), “Preparation for HSK (Chinese Proficiency
Test) exam,” and “Preparation for YCT (Young Learners Chinese Test) exam”. The courses last
from 1 to 16 months. There are courses in calligraphy where the ancient art of writing hieroglyphs
is taught, and courses in traditional Chinese exercises, taijiquan and wushu.
Courses are taught by highly qualified faculty, many of whom are native speakers of Chinese,
certified as teachers of Chinese as a Foreign Language and awarded with diplomas of Putonghua
Pronunciation of the 1st and 2nd categories. Taijiquan and wushu classes are given by Professor Liu
Guanglai, a well-known Chen Master, and wushu teacher Liu Zhenguo. In 2007-2008 academic
year 259 students took courses at the Confucius Institute.
В рамке:
The Testing Center in HSK (Chinese Proficiency Test), initiated by the Chinese Language
Council “Hanban”, opened at FENU in 2000 to administer tests for Chinese language students
of basic, elementary, intermediate and advanced levels. In 2007 the Testing Center joined the
Confucius Institute.
In May 2008, a branch of the Testing Center opened at Far Eastern State University of the
Humanities (Khabarovsk) where the first exams were administered on May 18, 2008. Those who
pass the exam are awarded certificates from the Chinese Ministry of Education. In 2008, 237
students passed HSK and YCT tests at the FENU Confucius Institute. These students acquired new
opportunities for business and self-fulfillment, because HSK certificate is required for admission to
Chinese higher education institutions, including the undergraduate, graduate and doctoral levels.
This certificate attests the applicant’s Chinese language skill when presented to personnel
departments of institutions, companies, and organizations needing specialists with an excellent
command of Chinese. Students passing HSK and YCT exams get opportunities to receive
scholarships for one semester study in Chinese universities, short term summer and winter study
programs, supported by the HSK Foundation.
In May 2008, FENU’s Confucius Institute was the first in Russia and second in the world (after the
Confucius Institute in Seoul, Republic of Korea) to administer YCT examinations (Young Learners
Chinese Test). Many students of Vladivostok secondary schools # 9 and # 63, where Chinese is
taught as a foreign language, successfully passed the test. This test certificate serves not only for
89
assessment of the effectiveness of teaching Chinese at secondary schools, but also can be used to
confirm a student’s level of Chinese when transferring to another school or to study abroad.
The Confucius Institute holds contests in the Chinese language, calligraphy and acting technique.
Evgenia Nadezhkina, a FENU student, won the 11th regional Chinese contest among college
students from the Russian Far East and Transbaikal on May 4, 2008. She then became a prizewinner in the world-wide student contest in the Chinese language “The Chinese Language Is a
Bridge” in China where 110 students from 55 countries participated.
FENU’s Confucius Institute also focuses on improving Chinese Language teaching methods and
professional development of secondary school and college teachers of Chinese in the Russian Far
East and Transbaikal. During 3 last years, 99 teachers from these regions studied in China with
Hanban financial support. In 2008, the Institute held a seminar and round table on teaching Chinese
with many teachers of Primorsky Krai secondary and tertiary schools participating.

2. The Order of Friendship of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea
Основной текст со с.96:
Cooperation with the countries of the Korean peninsula is one of the important directions in the
FENU’s policy of internationalization. Historically the Korean Peninsula is divided into two
separate states, Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) and Republic of Korea
(South Korea), which have strained relations. FENU has established fruitful relations with
universities, educational and research institutions of both states. The foundation for this successful
development is the Higher College of Korean Studies of FENU. Joint trilateral educational and
research programs between FENU and different institutions of North and South Korea make a great
contribution to improvement of inter-Korean relations and promotion of peace and security in
Northeast Asia.
In Russia, the Korean language and Korean studies as academic disciplines were introduced in 1900
with the establishment of the Korean Language Chair at the Institute of Oriental Studies. The
Korean Language Chair of the Institute of Oriental Studies (FENU now) was the first chair of the
kind in the world. Its head was Grigory V. Podstavin, M.S. of Petersburg University.
Unfortunately, the academic history of the Korean language and Korean studies was interrupted in
1939 when the university was closed. Korean language training and Korean studies recommenced
in 1975 at FENU. In 1995 the Higher College of Korean Studies opened and marked a new stage in
the history Korean language and Koran studies at FENU. Today approximately 250 students are
enrolled in its programs making it the largest institution of its kind outside the Korean peninsula.
Students at the Higher College of Korean Studies specialize in Oriental studies in the Korean
economy, Korean philology/linguistics and Korean Studies. Professors of the Higher College of
Korean Studies conduct research in Korean linguistics, history, economy and culture, and study
political and economic aspects of inter-Korean relations. The Center for Korean Studies/Korean
Research Center, established in 2000 by FENU and the Korea Foundation, plays a significant role
in their research. The Higher College of Korean Studies is the founder of two professional
associations: the Russian Association of College Korean Studies and the Russian Association of
Korean Scholars.
The Far Eastern Center of Russian-Korean Cooperation was established in 2005 by FENU and the
Office of Russian Federation President Representative in the Russian Far East Federal Region. It is
well known not only in Russia but also in North and South Korea, Japan, USA, and China. Among
its main objectives are search for and implementation of economic and scientific projects in twosided and multi-sided formats. The Far Eastern Center of Russian-Korean Cooperation is an official
representative of the Russian-Korean Intergovernmental Commission for Economic and Scientific
Cooperation; FENU’s President Vladimir Kurilov is one of its official representatives in Russia.
Cooperation with Republic of Korea
93
The Higher College of Korean Studies actively cooperates with many universities of the Republic
of Korea, for example Seoul National University, Koryo University, Yonsei University, Dongguk
University, Kyung Hee University, Kyonggi University, Hallym University, Chonbuk National
University, Youngsan University, Dong-A University, the University of Ulsan, Kangnung National
University, Kyungnam University and others in such areas as student and faculty exchange
programs, joint research programs and conferences. These academic and research activities are
supported by the Korea Foundation, the Korea Research Foundation, Doosan Foundation and other
foundations.
The establishment of the Higher College of Korean Studies resulted from joint investments by
FENU and the Kohap Group, a South Korean financial and manufacturing company. With a budget
in 1995 of more than $ 2,000,000, it still remains the largest foreign investment into fixed capital of
any Russian educational institution.
The Korean Educational Center in Vladivostok was established in 1994 by FENU and the Ministry
of Education and Human Resources Development of the Republic of Korea. This Center promotes
programs of Korean language and culture, organizes festivals of Korean folk culture and
administers tests in the Korean language. It is one of 33 Korean centers established in 13 countries
of the world.
Cooperation with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea
In May 2007, FENU President Vladimir I. Kurilov was awarded the Order of Friendship of the I
Degree, the highest government decoration of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea for
foreign citizens. The Order was bestowed upon FENU and its President for their significant
contribution to development of Russian-Korean cooperation in education, science, culture and
communication between the Russian Far East and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
For several years there was little interaction between Russia and the Democratic People’s Republic
of Korea. But initiatives by FENU President Vladimir I. Kurilov, FENU became a leader in the
process that not only regained previous levels of contact but achieved a new higher level.
The most important partner of FENU in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is Kim Il Sung
University, the largest North Korean institution of higher education. The agreement of cooperation
signed between the two universities in 2003, provides for student and faculty exchange programs,
joint research programs and conferences to be held at FENU in which scholars from the Democratic
People's Republic of Korea, Republic of Korea and other countries participate. Graduate and postgraduate students and interns from Kim Il Sung University enroll in various educational programs
at FENU. Intergovernmental agreement between the Russian Federation and the Democratic
People’s Republic of Korea allows FENU to admit each year 10-12 North Korean graduate students
for research in arts and sciences in Vladivostok.
In 2004-2005 more than forty members of the editorial staff of the Foreign Office of State TeleRadio Broadcasting Committee of Democratic People’s Republic of Korea attended year-long
language courses at FENU. Every year more than ten scientists from North Korea do fieldwork at
different institutes of FENU. In addition, FENU gives assistance in developing Russian language
programs at Pyongyang universities. In recent years FENU has regularly participated in Pyongyang
international exhibitions of scientific and technical literature.
FENU has donated more than 7,000 volumes of research and educational materials to libraries of
Kim Il Sung University and the People’s Palace of Education. The Orthodox Church opened in
Pyongyang in 2006 is also supported by FENU.

FENU’s School of Japanese Studies has the largest enrollment of any similar institution of
higher education in Russia and is also the best in regards to: language practice, partnerships
with Japanese universities and government agencies, areas of research, and recognition of the
quality of its educational programs by the Japanese government.
Основной текст:
Historically, the study of the Japanese language and culture in the Russian Far East began in 1899
at Institute of Oriental Studies, the fore runner of Far Eastern National University (FENU).
FENU’s School of Japanese Studies was opened in 1994 and has current enrollment of about 400
studying the Japanese language: 250 students study Japanese as their major in undergraduate and
post-bachelor programs along with Japanese economy and history while about 150 study Japanese
in addition to their majors in other undergraduate programs.
(первая бежевая рамка русскоязычного исходника удаляется)
Japanese native speakers teach in the Japanese Philology Department regularly and provide great
support to students in mastering the language. All students study both Japanese and English
regardless of their specialty. Majors include Philology, Regional Studies (history, culture, current
events, politics, and economy) and Economy of Japan. Additionally, philologists study bungo, the
ancient literary form of the Japanese language.
Many students of the School take language courses in Japanese universities, at other FENU partner
universities, and in the International Center of the Japanese Language. The School is noted for its
high quality language education. Often its students win awards in Japanese language student
competitions in Russia and other countries. Graduates get jobs both in Russia and abroad in foreign
branch offices, local administrations, diplomatic and consular missions, joint stock companies and
commercial organizations, and other enterprises.

The FENU Russian-Japanese Dual Degree Program in International Relations began in 2004
in cooperation with Hokuriku University. On successfully completing the first two years,
students of Japanese Studies may choose to continue their education in Hokuriku University
majoring in International Relations, where after two more successful years of study, they
receive a Bachelor of Arts in Philology and a degree of Bachelor of Law with the specialty
Business Law and Practice.
Within the framework of the Association of the Pacific Rim Universities (see APRU p. 115) FENU
cooperates with the five best universities of Japan – University of Tokyo, Kyoto University,
Waseda University, Keio University and Osaka University. The partnership between FENU and
Waseda University has a long history and includes student exchange programs, educational video
conferences for students studying Russian and Japanese languages and intercultural communication.

В рамке:
During the past 5 years FENU has held more than 1200 educational, research and
administrative internet-video conferences with Waseda University, Hokuriku University,
Tokai University, Nagoya University, and the National Institute of Multimedia Education
(NIME). FENU is a leader among Russian higher education institutions in using video
conferences for Japanese Studies students.
One of the oldest partners of FENU is Tokai University (educational system of Tokai University).
During the past several years, hundreds of students from Tokai University visited FENU aboard the
research vessel Bossay Maru and many Japanese Studies students from FENU studied on exchange
program at its Tokyo campuses.
Other FENU partners in Japan are Soka University, Osaka University, Osaka University of
Economics and Law, Otaru University of Commerce, Momoyama Gakuin University, Niigata
University, Niigata University of International & Information Studies, Nagoya University and many
others. FENU has partners other than universities. For example, starting in 2006 the FENU School
of International Tourism began an internship program with the Unokava Grand Hoteru Hotel.

The Japan Center in Vladivostok was founded in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of Japan in 1995. The Center operates in closely with the School of Japanese Studies.
It also offers Japanese language training to Vladivostok residents, provides numerous
seminars on management in several areas of business, methods of teaching Japanese plus
many others. The Japan Center is home to the Fan Club of Japanese Culture which is
popular both with university students and Vladivostok residents.
В рамке:
Since 1990, 6,000 foreign students have studied at FENU and more than 30% have been
citizens of Japan despite difficult political relations between Russia and Japan. Thanks in part
to Russian language skills and knowledge of Russian culture and economy gained at FENU,
many Japanese graduates make successful careers as political leaders and businessmen,
chairs of Russian language departments, translators and public figures. No other university
has made as many friends in Japan as FENU.
Cooperation with the Japan Foundation
Cooperation between the School of Japanese Studies and the Japan Foundation, supported by the
Consulate General of Japan, greatly enhances its educational and research programs.

В рамке:
FENU is the only Russian Institution of higher education to have a branch in Japan. Recently
the Government of Japan officially recognized university degrees granted only by branches of
5 foreign universities in Japan: 3 American, 1 Chinese and 1 Russian university, FENU.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan recognizes the quality of instruction in Russian
language training at FENU’s Hakodate Branch as the best in Japan.
Основной текст:
FENU’s Hakodate Branch was established in 1994 by President V. I. Kurilov’s initiative with
support of Masateru Matsudaira, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Kanto International High
School, Japan and by Ryuichi Kidoura, Mayor of Hakodate, Japan, who became the first Honorary
Doctors of FENU for their contribution to the Branch. For his great contribution to its
development, Hiroshi Inoue, the next Mayor of Hakodate was also awarded a title of Honorary
Doctor of FENU in 2000.
В рамке:
A long history of cooperation preceded the opening of FENU’s Hakodate Branch. Hakodate is
a special city for Russia. The history of diplomatic relations between Russia and Japan began
in 1855 with the signing of the Simodskiy Treatise where it was agreed to open the first
consulate of the Russian Empire in Japan in Hakodate in 1858.
В рамке:
The first Orthodox Church in Japan, the Church of Christ's Resurrection, was built in 1859.
In the 1860’s, when Vladivostok started to develop, the Russian fleet was supplied with fuel
and provisions in Hakodate which contributed to the growth of both cities and to the
development of their relations. Under auspices of the Russian Consulate in Hakodate, for the
first time in Japan, Russian language instruction began when the first Russian school was
opened and the first textbook of the Russian language for Japanese students was published.
Despite many difficulties for the Orthodox community in Hakodate, the tradition of teaching
Russian has continued for more than for a century and a half. For many years this relatively
97
small city has remained the most significant center of the Russian language and Russian
culture in Japan.
The opening of Vladivostok for international commerce in early 1990’s increased Russian-Japanese
cooperation. In 1992 Vladivostok and Hakodate became sister-cities; two years later the FENU
branch was opened. Several years before Japanese students had begun to study Russian at the
Russian school established in 1989. FENU provided great support to establish a Russian
Department at the Kanto International School and the International Senior High School in Tokyo.
These efforts demonstrated FENU’s ability to provide Japanese citizens with high quality
instruction of Russian both in and away from Vladivostok.
The Hakodate Branch was established to develop cooperation between Russia and Japan, and
provide the citizens of Japan with an opportunity to receive a Russian university degree that
combines study at FENU’s branch in Japan and FENU’s campus in Vladivostok.
Currently at FENU’s Hakodate Branch, about 70 Japanese students study in undergraduate
programs of Russian Studies and Translation (Russian Language). Major departments of the
Branch are the Department of Russian Studies (four-year program) and Department of the Russian
Language (two-year program).
В рамке:
While Russian is taught in many higher educational institutions of Japan, the specialty
Russian Studies is taught only at the Hakodate Branch.
At the Hakodate Branch students get fundamental training not only in the Russian language, but
also in Russian economy, history, ethnography, literature and other courses. Since practically all
graduates of the Branch deal with translation to some extent, students also study subjects such as
Theory and Practice of Translation and Business Russian.

Not only is FENU’s Hakodate Branch important as an educational institution for both
countries, but also as a center of Russian culture and spirituality in Japan. It is hard to
underestimate its contribution to the development of mutual understanding and friendship
between the Russian and Japanese peoples, inspiring interest and respect in Russia. The
Branch promotes many Russian cultural events such as festivals of Russian culture, evenings
of Russian literature, Russian club Beryozka (birch tree) parties and many others that have
become very popular with Hakodate citizens.

FENU ‘s Hakodate Branch faculty members are experts both in Japanese Studies and the
Japanese language. They designed their own syllabuses and developed teaching materials for
the Japanese students.
In March 1998, the first graduates received Bachelor’s degrees from the Branch; the total number of
graduates to date who received FENU degrees in Russian Studies at the Branch is approximately
160. Additionally, the Branch offers Russian language evening courses for Hakodate citizens.
Classes are conducted weekly throughout the academic year. More than 300 Japanese citizens have
completed these courses. These courses are becoming more popular each year. Assistance in
organizing similar courses was requested by institutions from different parts of Hakodate Island and
beyond. More than 100 Japanese citizens completed courses of the Russian language with Branch
teachers conducting classes for the Eurasia Society and the University of Hakodate. The Branch has
also conducted summer courses for students of Toyama Higher College of the Commercial Fleet
and special intensive Russian language courses for Keydanren, the Federation of Economic
Organizations of Japan.
Each year since 1998, the faculty of the Branch has conducted three-month courses of the Russian
language, Russian culture, and economy of the Russian Far East for Japanese Customs officers.
During the first three years only Customs officers of Hokkaido Island received this training, but
now these courses attract Customs services students from the entire country. To encourage it
officers, Japanese Customs has held Russian language competitions for many years in Hakodate.
Branch graduates are constantly among the winners of the competition.
В рамке:
Of 300 Hokkaido Customs officers, 170 officers speak Russian language and 70 of these
finished FENU Hakodate Branch courses.
FENU’s Hakodate Branch has cooperated with government agencies of Japan throughout its
history. On requests of international departments of Hokkaido’s government and Aomori
prefecture administration, officers dealing with Russia take Russian language courses at the FENU
Branch. Businesses also employ the Branch to conduct language training; special language courses
are offered to bank officers of large banks such as Michinoku Bank and Hokuyo Bank regularly.
В рамке:
In 2001 for the first time in Japan, a certification examination in the Russian language was
administered at FENU’s Hakodate Branch; now this examination is administered every year.
In 2002 the Hokkaido Education committee commissioned FENU’s Hakodate Branch to offer 11month training courses for Russian language teachers of Japanese secondary schools.
FENU Branch graduates work in industrial enterprises, trading companies, and in public offices of
Japan as well. In accordance with the resolution of the Ministry of Education of Japan in 2006,
FENU’s Hakodate Branch graduates in Region Studies have the right to continue their education in
graduate schools of Japanese institutions of higher education. FENU’s Hakodate Branch has status
equal to that of Japanese institutions of higher education by such recognition by the Japanese
government.

1. September 1, 2008. Vladimir Putin, the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, met with
FENU students and answered their questions. Specifically they discussed the development of
Russian education and the latest government’s measures to develop Russian science and
education.
2. The Diploma of All-Russian Competition for the Best Model of Student Self-Government,
issued by the Russian Federation Ministry of Education and Research, won by the FENU
University Student Council in 2006
В зеленой рамке:
People unaware of Student Council activities think of it as of a social group that is of little
interest to an ordinary student overloaded with many tasks. Meanwhile, FENU’s
administration invests millions of rubles to maintain and renovate dormitories, construct
sport facilities, modernize the infrastructure of student life and studies each year. It is the
intention of the university administration that tasks be quickly and effectively accomplished.
The Student Council, which has a direct access to FENU President, is able to change many
aspects of these tasks for the students’ and therefore FENU’s better.
В бежевой рамке:
The University Student Council (USC) is a body for student self-government, a link between
FENU’s administration and a student. The Student Council passes along requests and
questions to the President and suggests ideas for changes thus improving of quality of
education, student living facilities and leisure. The USC is composed of more than 30 students
who represent their Institute Student Councils and many other social organizations.

The University Student Council has done much; here are only a few examples.
Last academic year, the USC has won grants for large projects, “The Academy of Student
Trainers,” “Youth Union of Primorsky Krai” and others with total budgets of more than 900,000
rubles. Additionally, the Interregional Public Youth Movement “Students for the Country’s Future
Together with the President” was founded; the Legislative Institution “Topical Issues of Youth
Policy in Primorsky Krai” was held in which representatives from seven universities and 17 social
associations developed a bill “On Youth Policy in Primorsky Krai.” The City Young People
Conference “Russia – 21st Century” was held with the support of the Russian-based Oxford
Foundation along with many other events.

Any student of FENU can join the University Student Council and help improve studies and
university life. Student Council representatives initiate modernizations and innovations at FENU,
solve young people’s problems at Round Tables with the city and university administrations,
directly influence the life of FENU and learn the difficulties of complex problems of university
development. This is a good way to start a life typical of many successful businessmen, statesmen,
and public figures. FENU offers students a wide range of opportunities and rights which can be
summarized in one word – self-government. The USC is a real opportunity to create something and
see the results, a way to implement one’s projects together with the university administration and
helped by the enormous resources of FENU. The slogan of FENU Student Council is “Govern
Yourself”. The University Student Council gives a student this unique chance.

of the Russian Academy of Science and of All-Russian Contest for the Student Best Research Work
in Science, Technology, and Humanities, all of which testify to the high degree of their creative and
intellectual potential.
Good academic progress and successful research serve as basis for nominating bright and hardworking young people for individual scholarships. FENU students get Russian Government and
Russian President scholarships, scholarships awarded by the FEBRAS that are named for
outstanding Far Eastern scholars as well as scholarships of the REC, the philanthropic organization
“Oxford Russia Fund” (Great Britain), the Governor of Primorsky Krai, and Vladivostok City
Administration. Since 2001, FENU students have participated in the competition for Potanin’s NonProfit Philanthropic Foundation scholarship.
Young people’s interest in research activities has grown intensely lately as demonstrated by the
increasing number of FENU students who want to continue their research in the post-graduate
courses.

of Russia among adults in November 2008.
В рамке с140:
Many martial arts competitions held at FENU have become international and All-Russian,
and have been included in the All-Russian calendar of sports events. For example, the FENU
President Prize freestyle wrestling tournament has been conducted eight times with teams
coming from the Republic of Korea, People's Democratic Republic of Korea, Peoples'
Republic of China, and the USA. Winner of the first prize in this tournament is normally
conferred the title of the Master of Sport of Russia.

Development of sport at FENU is vigorously supported by the Administration, the Academic
Council, and, above all, by FENU President Vladimir Kurilov, who is a Karate first dan holder, and
the Honorary President of the Boxing Federation of Primorsky Krai. Although intensively busy
with work, President Kurilov always finds time for staying fit by training in the gymnasium where
he sets an excellent example for students. Thanks to his efforts and support, FENU’s Physical
Education and Sport School was established and in 2008 grew into the Institute of Physical
Education and Sport. In recent years, FENU sport facilities have grown considerably, much sports
equipment replaced and added, 125 sport scholarships established and possibilities for student
participation in All-Russian and international competitions expanded. Physical education and sport
development are regularly discussed at the sessions of the FENU Academic Council. All of these
efforts, attention and money enhance development of sport and sport competition among students
and the physical and moral enhancement of youth.

Supporting Leaders
Presently in the reform and regenerating the national economy, the Russian Government places
modernization of higher education equal in importance to integration of science, business and
industry. This reform designates leading Russian universities as the engines of educational
development in the future.
The first step of the Russian Government was to name the universities to implement innovative
educational programs in 2006-2007. The contest selected 17 universities with sufficient human
resources and technical expertise to implement large sophisticated projects for innovation of
educational programs.
The next step of Federal Government was to start creating a system of federal universities – several
top tier regional universities, capable to solve problems of national importance. There is much
discussion about the strategy for founding this kind of organization: Should the existing leading
universities be modified or new university parks created?
The first action was to combine several universities into the Southern Federal University and the
Siberian Federal University. Far Eastern National University is nominated by the President and by
Federal Government to become the third federal university in the near future.
At present the Russian Government considers the possibility of creating federal universities based
on different concepts. The most likely concepts are: (1) merging universities of the same type, (2)
merging a university and an enterprise, and (3) merging a university and scientific research center.
There is no common approach for creating a federal university so its concept is still being
developed.
For definition of the concept of federal university and its strategic development, it is necessary to
answer the question: “What is the principal difference between the federal university concept and
traditional educational, scientific and technological organizations?” The answer lies in the
possibility that social and economic breakthroughs lag behind technological development. Social
history proves that utilizing current modern technologies should be combined with creating
technologies of the future.
Who could have predicted the real effect of the electromagnetic induction phenomenon for
humankind in Faraday’s time? But some countries were able to see technological opportunities in
this fundamental scientific research. Then, these countries took world leading positions in social
and economic development.
It is difficult to imagine the modern world without electricity. This example shows that fundamental
research gains importance as soon as there is willingness in society to accept it and transfer it into
technologies aimed at rapid social and economic development and improving the quality of human
life. .
The willingness to accept new products and ideas and the ability to benefit from them in
manufacture and consumption are the product of an educational system. The formation of an
intellectual base in society must become the strategic function of Federal University.
The distinguishing feature of modern fundamental research is a high demand for resources. To
fulfill its strategic function, the university requires resources which are not available through
traditional research and educational activities. Federal support in combination with active
international cooperation may bring these resources.
119
For a real success, it would be better to combine three factors: international cooperation, integration
of research and education, and federal status. Combination of these factors will enable federal
universities to unify human and technical resources of science and higher education, to increase
research potential and to provide education needed by the growth requirements of the economy.
For us it is obvious that federal universities should be research universities, capable to earn
competitive R&D funding along with long term federal support. Experience exists for creating and
developing such institutions in the world and it can become a direction for developing the concept
of Federal Universities in Russia.
About Research Universities
At present the term “Research University” is related to universities that unify fundamental research
and higher education on a wide range of specialties.
In the US, according to information of the Center for Measuring University Performance, there are
50 leading universities which have high scientific research budgets and a large number of
dissertation defenses such as Harvard University, Columbia University, Stanford University, the
University of Chicago and others.
In Europe, 20 leading universities (Oxford, Cambridge, Lund and others) form the League of
Research Universities whose membership requires integration of scientific research and education.
All these universities educate highly qualified professionals, the intellectual elite of society, who
generate strategic direction, and advanced levels of science and technology, thereby insuring
national security and competitiveness in the world market.
Far Eastern National University has unique channels to cooperate with universities of Pacific Rim
countries and to learn their research practices. One of these channels is membership in the
prestigious organization of research universities, Association of Pacific Rim Universities (APRU).
APRU brings together 42 world-famous universities. FENU participation in the Executive
Committee of APRU has special value. Leading universities of Pacific Rim countries occupy the
top tier of APRU and they have many features in common: history, regional position, and quantity
and quality of resources.
FENU was founded in 1899 as the Institute of Oriental Studies and became the first higher
education institution in the Far East of Russia. About the same time, neighboring countries founded
their universities that are APRU partners now: University of Tokyo, Japan (1876), Waseda
University, Japan (1882), Peking University, China (1898), Fudan University (1905), Tsinghua
University, China (1911). More universities, many future members of APRU, emerged on the
Eastern Coast of the Pacific: University of Washington (1862), University of California, Berkeley
(1868), University of Southern California (1880), Stanford University (1894). A little earlier the
University of Sydney (1850) and University of Melbourne (1850) appeared on the southern coast of
Australia.
In Europe, leading universities had emerged during 800 years while in the Pacific Rim 60 years
provided the foundation for higher education in an area covering almost half of the world. Although
different in culture and characters, people made an energetic attempt to acquire the best university
practices of 800 years from Europe, to combine fundamentals of university education and practical
experience, to develop knowledge and skills. Government provided energetic support to these
emerging elite universities.
It was a process of the rapidly growing western civilization on territories of great Eastern cultures
and outposts of Western nations. It took one century to complete this task with much success; now
it’s difficult to define the modern civilization as the Western one. Modern high tech production,
120
scientific and educational institutions spread equally or even more densely in the Pacific Rim than
in Europe, the birthplace of the Western civilization. 42 research universities of the Pacific Rim,
organized now as APRU, contributed greatly to this process.
In spite of cultural differences, APRU universities belong to the same generation and have similar
key features. In an APRU university, as a rule, there are tens of thousands of students, several
hundred or thousands of post-graduate students, more than 100 chairs (sub-faculties), several
thousand teachers and employees, several hundred educational programs in Science, Engineering
and Human Science, hundreds of buildings and constructions, large land areas, and a number of
international programs. The main feature of these universities is a powerful science base
transformed into innovative educational programs.
Modern scientific research is multidiscipline; it involves different branches of science and different
scientific schools. Leading universities form an excellent platform both for this cooperation and for
developing scientific schools by training new researchers in the programs of higher education and
post-graduate studies. The pride of these universities is a number of quantitative indicators, which
demonstrate the quality level of merging science and education. A summary of practices for
creating and developing research universities leads to the following standards:



educational services and teaching based on the recent findings and practices that are
products of scientific research;
scientific research achievements confirmed by frequent citation of publications;
post-graduate and graduate programs based on current scientific research of the university.
We could suggest five quantitative indicators for evaluating research universities:
.
 Comparative volume of grants for scientific research.
 Number of publications and citation frequency index for the last five years; these indicators
should be relevant to the same indicators of other research organizations.
 Annual number of scientific degrees, 20 or more PhD defenses, in a wide range of
specialties of the University Council.
 Number of young scientists and PhD’s.
 Number of graduate and post-graduate programs.
These indicators show the level of research university from different perspectives. What is the main
qualitative indicator of the university? It is often quoted, “Universities shape the future.”
This saying has not been universally true in the past and nor is it in the present. A long history of
devastating wars, crimes, epidemics and severe economic crises also used to shape the future.
University influence has been very weak. Only during recent decades it is possible to say that
scientists start governing the world. Almost all presidents and ministers of developed countries and
managers of modern corporations are alumni of the best universities of the world; and they practice
the scientific approach.
The biggest impacts to the future belong to professionals of high technologies. These are the people
who are leaders in definition of our environment, our health, our longevity and development of our
talents and abilities.
Innovative high-tech industries open jobs for millions for highly qualified professionals. Leading
universities that combine quality and mass training have the greatest potential for preparing such
specialists.
Educational systems of Europe, North America and Eastern Asia use the term “research
universities” to define
121
leading universities, and they have a number of criteria and indicators for determining this status.
But there are substantial differences in the process of creating a network of research universities.
In the US educational system, there is a commission of experts which give the rank of “research
university” and the main criterion is the number of grants received for scientific research.
In the European system, there is the League of Research universities, an association of research
universities the members of which jointly classify a university as a research university. Most
members of the League have been leading European Universities for a long time.
In the Asian educational system it was government who founded research universities. Different
from European and Anglo-American Universities, research universities in Asia were founded as
new modern university parks and opened to a great number of students from different layers
population.
In Russia none of these models can be accepted directly. On one hand, there is no tradition of mass
scientific research in its universities. On the other hand, there is an effective system for training
specialists. Traditional Russian universities provide world-class, high level of education in
traditional fundamentals like mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, philology, philosophy and
others. So, for Russia, it is necessary to develop a new model selecting the best practices of
European as well as Asian research universities.
During 2000 – 2005 in Russia, there was much discussion about the concept of ‘research university’
involving the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the Russian Academy
of Science, university communities, international funds, and public organizations. As part of the
discussion, conferences analyzed the functions of leading universities of the world, features and
traditions of Russian education and developed
a definition of research university and its status in Russia:
“A research university is a special type of university for educating specialists of high qualification;
its activity includes research and multi-disciplines and unifies the teaching and scientific research
process based on the merger of academic and applied science. It carries out fundamental and
applied research in developing branches of science, engineering and technology.”
In Russian, experts identified only 20–25 higher education institutions which can be transformed
into research universities.
The budget for scientific research in Russian universities is much lower than in more developed
countries due to the fact that science and education were initially separated, and scientific research
in universities has been optional in the educational process. And for that reason, training of worldclass specialists requires rapid financing of research universities.
Recently Russian universities received a financing opportunity within the national project
“Education”, a federal investment project. Many universities, winners in contests of this
“Education” project, used this opportunity to modernize facilities for scientific research. FENU was
a winner in the first round of universities launching innovative educational programs. FENU
received the third largest grant after Lomonosov Moscow State University and St. Petersburg State
University. After two years of innovative educational programs, financing of scientific research in
FENU reached the minimum level of leading research universities in the US.
Further investment in development of research universities that practice world-class teaching and
scientific research is the most successful way for educating future elite scholars in business, science
and higher education.
122
So both world and Russian practices demonstrate that modern research universities concentrating
human resources, material resources and facilities can become a strong foundation for a federal
university system.
FENU: Experience and Achievements towards Research University Status
In Russia, it was difficult to accumulate material resources and facilities because of historical and
legislative factors. In the beginning 1990's Far Eastern National University decided that integration
of fundamental science and education would be the priority for its development and designed an
approach to provide resources to scientific research in the university.
This approach was based on integration of university divisions and institutions of the Russian
Academy of Science, where traditionally all fundamental sciences were concentrated. This
approach unified scientific personnel and resources of the Russian Academy of Science and the
educational potential of the university.
This experience could become a successful model for research universities in Russia.
The key step for further development of scientific research at FENU became participation in the
principal federal programs “Government support for integration of higher education and
fundamental science in 1997-2000” and “Integration of science and higher education of Russia in
2002-2006”. In 1996 the Far Eastern Branch of Russian Academy of Science and FENU received
the 4th (by size) grant from these programs and became the leading winner for rewarded projects
(62% of submitted projects).
The product of this cooperation is the number of scientific-educational divisions of FENU and
academic institutes, such as the Academy of Ecology, Marine Biology, and Biotechnology, the
Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science, the Institute of Environmental Sciences, the School
of Physics and Engineering, the Institute of Russian Language and Literature and others.
Actually it was a new approach to organize scientific research in the university and the educational
process. Leading scientists became involved in activities of unified divisions. From the very
beginning of their studies students have an opportunity to plunge into real scientific research; it
makes the study more profound and purposeful. The Scientific Council of FENU and the Presidium
of Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Science jointly manage the activities of these
divisions.
But a traditional university does not become a research university just because students participate
in scientific research and scientists participate in the educational process. It is necessary to
reorganize its infrastructure to develop modern multidiscipline research. Marine Biota Research and
Education Center (REC) is a very successful example for the model of such reorganization.
In 1999, the Russian Ministry of Education and United States Civilian Research and Development
Foundation (CRDF) announced a $1,000,000 grant for a scientific-educational center in Natural
Science. Out of 89 applicants FENU and two more universities won grants. Chemistry and Biology
Schools became the foundation for Marine Biota REC. Marine Biota REC is also a demonstration
of cooperation between fundamental sciences in overcoming the interdepartmental barrier. The
Marine Biota REC experience became a new model for further development.
This model was used later to create a system of Research and Education Centers, among them:
Earth Physics, Nanophysics and Nanotechnology, Information Technologies and Optoelectronics,
and Medical Physics.
The model of Research and Education Centers is different from traditional cooperation in
fundamental science. REC is independent of school structure; it can bring together different
123
departments and laboratories of different schools and institutes of the university within research
projects. Laboratories of the same
department may become part of different RECs. Still the university keeps its traditional
organization as any REC does not require strict subordination of the divisions involved.
This approach became successful and useful for modern technological purposes so FENU used it
to create innovative subdivisions. FENU and the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of
Science (FEBRAS) founded the Innovative Technological Center in Marine Sciences for managing
joint projects and developing technologies for exploring the World Ocean. Management of the
project is a professional staff of FENU and FEBRAS. In the future such centers will become the
foundation for the university R&D parks.
Another successful application of this model is the Biology R&D park, a joint project of TINRO
Center (Pacific Scientific Research Fishery Center), and two fishing companies, Preobrazheny
Fishing Fleet and Preobrazheny Fish Processing Company, with support of administrations of
Primorsky Krai and Lazovsky District. The goal of the project is to develop a multi-purpose
complex that includes marine and freshwater aquaculture, reproduction of marine resources, fish
processing and product supply to the domestic and foreign markets.
FENU is developing many branches of science, both natural and social and applying the same
model to research in Social Studies.
In 2001 the university received a grant from the program “Government Support for ScientificTechnical Politics of Higher School and Development of its Scientific Potential” sponsored by
several organizations: the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the Institute
for Advanced Russian Studies (USA), the Moscow Public Scientific Fund, the Carnegie
Corporation of New York, and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
More than forty Russian universities applied and FENU became one of five winners. As a result
FENU founded the Far Eastern Interregional Institute of Social Studies. The Institute studies
development of intellectual and professional resources of the Russian scientific community, renders
individual support to social researchers, and promotes assimilation of Russian scientists into the
world scientific community. Projects of these institutes brought together both social studies and
natural science divisions and schools.
The infrastructural changes involved integration of the Russian Academy of Science into
educational process. More than 190 scientists of the Russian Academy of Science teach students
and postgraduates of FENU; among them are 6 Academicians, 7 Corresponding Fellows of the
Russian Academy of Science, 60 Doctors of Science, and 130 PhD’s. Annually 50 -70 foreign
professors and famous scientists of Russia contribute to the educational process. Multiple-use
facility centers created by FENU and FEBRAS provide lecture and laboratory space.
These changes increased the quality of scientific research of FENU. At present the number of
FENU publications in leading scientific journals exceeds the number of publications of all other
universities of the Russian Far East. According to the international database Science Citation Index,
FENU annually publishes 65% of all the publications of universities of the Russian Far East; it
competes with leading scientific institutes of FEBRAS.
Additional proof of FENU 's success as a research university is the financing of its scientific
research; 95% comes from competitive grants. Independent experts gave high evaluation to the
university practice for development of scientific research and integration of science and education.
In 2002 FENU was one of the first Russian universities to receive national accreditation as a
scientific organization according to the Russian Federal Law “About Science and National
Scientific-Technical Politics.”
124
In 2006 FENU was the only university in the Russian Far East and Eastern Siberia to win a grant
for an innovative educational program of the national project “Education”. Among 17 awarded
universities, FENU received the third largest grant. The total grant was 1,198.4 million rubles
including extra financing. The entire amount was used for modern high technological laboratory
equipment.
In 2007 the Russian Government rewarded FENU for the quality of its product and service, and
effective management of quality. During 2005-2007 FENU received many regional, Russian and
international awards.
By 2009 FENU has created a professional, infrastructural and equipment foundation for research
universities and its research has reached the level of leading research universities. FENU is first in
line to be the Far Eastern National Research University.
FENU as the Center of Scientific-Innovative Development for Pacific Russia
One of the goals of Russian geopolitics is development of Russian territories and their integration
into internal and external political and economic processes. In this regard, the Russian Far East,
especially Primorsky krai occupies a special place. It is far from mainstream Russia but it is close to
Japan, the Republic of Korea, China and other countries of the north Pacific, centers of the world's
high technological industry.
While Pacific countries develop their economies intensively, the Russian Far East risks becoming
only their raw materials supplier. The territory of the Russian Far East is distant from the seat of
government, its economic relationship with European Russia is weak, its industry is mainly mining
and fishery, its technological lag is growing, the mobility of its population is low and migration of
employable population is increasing.
Social, cultural and economic development of the Russian Far East mainly depends upon the
educational level of specialists able to work independently in fields of innovative technology and
innovative activities of universities and the cultural environment formed by universities. In this
regard, a federal university as a scientific-educational center will be a key factor for sustained
development for Eastern Russia.
A federal university is the center for training specialists as well as the center for innovative
development and fundamental scientific research as a basis for high technology.
Characteristics of the Russian Far East fix priority sciences and directions for fundamental and
applied research. The following are four strategic directions of development for the region:
1. Initiation and development of new technologies for exploring and exploitation of marine
resources. This will force the development of energy, mining and processing industries,
pharmaceutical production and fisheries.
The most promising might be geological research and surveys of the ocean, such as exploration for
gas-hydrates, seeps of hydrocarbons and hydrogen sulfide and metal ores; mapping and surveys of
the ocean floor; forecast of natural cataclysms and climate change; environmental monitoring;
hydraulic engineering, oil platform and pipeline engineering; and evaluation of biodiversity,
biological and mineral resources for further processing and mariculture and processing of marine
resources.
2. Developing and launching a nanotechnologies industry by training specialists for scientific
research and application of nano-materials and nanotechnologies in an innovative economy of
the Russian Far East.
125
In nanotechnologies, multidiscipline research has special importance from structure and physicalchemical characteristics of products to the creation of bioorganic substances for nanotechnology use
in biochemistry, medicine, chemistry, and material science. It will develop new scientifictechnological directions, such as nano-biotechnology (the branch of nanotechnology with biological
and biochemical applications or uses) and
nanomedicine (medical application of nanotechnology).
3. Research in Oriental Studies and International Law will turn FENU as a federal university
into one of the main elements for protection geopolitical interests of Russia in the Pacific Rim.
The strategic directions for social studies are: training specialists for solving legal problems for
security of Russia and Pacific countries; research of linguistic and cultural impacts in the
development of humanitarian and economic relations between Pacific countries; development of
new concepts in social-politic ideas of the Pacific countries; and language interaction within crosscultural communication of the Pacific countries.
4. Promoting Russian language and Russian Culture to Pacific countries.
As a federal university FENU will become a regional center of Russian language study for
foreigners. Export of educational services, new FENU branches abroad and international on-line
programs will expand the Russian language into countries of the region. Promoting Russian culture
through FENU activities will strengthen mutual understanding and security in the Pacific countries
and increase investment attractiveness in the Russian Far East.
For rapid adoption of technologies into industry, FENU plans a research and development park
(R&D Park) with a business school. Laboratories and RECs will be offered for joint use with
companies and government. These structures will concentrate material and personnel resources for
promotion of modern scientific research into high technological industries plus train their future
engineers and managers in the Russian Far East.
Another goal of FENU as a federal university is development of international scientific research and
to provide educational services to the international market. To reach this goal it is necessary to
increase academic mobility of students, integrate teachers and scientists into the world’s educational
network and obtain international recognition for university programs.
For foreign citizens and Russian expatriates, FENU as a federal university will develop
international on-line programs, new branches abroad and export educational services and
technologies. FENU will also become the center for teaching Russian as a foreign language and
exporting Russian culture into Pacific countries.
So FENU as a federal university will form an entire scientific-educational and cultural network.
For transforming FENU into federal university, the following steps are needed:
1. Acquire scientific and technological equipment for the FENU R&D Park and RECs
2. Accumulate material resources
3. Create social and engineering infrastructure for developing innovative technological centers
for nanotechnologies, information technologies, biotechnologies, medicine and social
studies merged into RECs
4. Develop experimental productions and high technology business structures.
The key part of FENU infrastructure is the construction of a new university campus which includes
new faculty and teaching buildings, an International Education Center, dormitories, teacher
residences, R&D Park buildings, a Sport and Recreation Center, and a Student Activity Center. A
university campus provides character, determines quality of educational and scientific activity of
the university and forms a cultural and innovative scientific and educational environment.
126
The world has seen many different approaches to creating a university campus; the approach
depends upon the social function of the university. There are two main types of campuses –
traditional or collective universities and modern campuses. Collective universities descend from the
English system of higher education created for private education. These universities provide
profound fundamental education for classic sciences: philosophy, literature, history and natural
science.
Modern university campuses appeared at the end of the 20th century when industry flourished and
required a great number of specialists. Therefore, the main goal of these universities was to attract a
lot of students. Modern universities have strong connections to businesses and develop their
programs according to demands of business and industry. These universities have short terms of
studies and a strong focus of self study.
Collective universities have a number of advantages. These universities keep tradition as a
foundation for the stable quality of education. They create a special environment for strong personal
relationships of alumni of different generations. As a result, the university diploma substantiates the
quality of fundamental education; its alumni are devoted to their intellectual community for many
years and provide professional support to all its members. This characteristic from the traditional
university is so important that many new educational institutions try to create a similar
environment.
But in our modern age, a traditional university also has some disadvantages. First, location in the
central or historical part of a city restricts further development of the university so any change
causes organizational difficulties and extra budgeting. Second, scattered university infrastructure in
different locations impedes development of multidiscipline activity.
Modern university campuses solved these problems by planning where administrative buildings,
faculty and teaching buildings, dormitories and residencies are located in one or several campuses
close to each other. Campuses might be different by purpose and/or use: education, science, and/or
technology.
Often university campuses are located in rural areas or in the outskirts of large cities providing easy
opportunity for further development of university infrastructure. But these universities do not
maintain traditions and their educational programs targets short term studies and a limited number
of specialties demanded by local businesses. This reduces the quality of education.
FENU considers creating a modern university with advantages from both types. It will be possible
if a new university is built on the intellectual foundation of FENU as it exists, the oldest classic
university in the Russian Far East.
For mass training of highly qualified personnel, FENU’s existing buildings are not enough. Today’s
FENU campus will not allow the modern infrastructure development required for integrated
education, although it might save money, maintain some traditions and remain close to the
historical center of Vladivostok. FENU as a federal university requires the creation of a new
campus away from the city.
Near Vladivostok there is an excellent location for a modern yet classic university campus - Russian
Island not far from the historical center. Finance resources are budgeted for developing
infrastructure on the island for the 2012 APEC Summit; later this infrastructure can become part of
the federal university. Open lands of Russian Island are a vast field for activities of the Pacific
Science and Education Center which includes FENU as a federal university and the institutes of
Russian Academy of Science. This complex will harmonize with Russian Island's landscape and
nature.
127
Construction of such campus will accelerate the development of a new innovative scientific
educational environment. With FENU’s status change to a federal university, it will also become
the foundation for intellectual development of society and an environment for creating and adopting
technologies of the future. It will create a breakthrough for social economic development of the
region and thrust Russia into the group of leaders of the high tech economy in the Pacific Rim.

FENU Strategic Development Program for 2009-2025
According to request of the Russian Government in May 2008, FENU created a program of its
strategic development as a federal university.
The aim of this Program is developing comprehensive research university of the top tier world
class, closely interacting with economy and social life of the Russian Far East, promoting
breakthroughs in innovative development and contributing to new quality of life in the whole
region.
The Program has the following objectives:





Support of the Federal Program of Russian Far East Development
Creation of adequate infrastructure for realization of innovative large scale projects,
development of new research areas and research-intensive academic programs
Integration into high tech sectors of other Pacific Rim economies
Support of regional security by means of research and education
Development of priority research and education areas
FENU President, Vladimir I. Kurilov, initiated preliminary work which received support from
prominent statesmen and members of Russian federal government.
On September 1, 2008 during a meeting with FENU students, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said:
“Far Eastern National University will become the foundation of a federal university with technical
resources at a new level, including its modern campus on Russian Island.”
“… we will require the highest and the most modern technology for this project”
“… we will provide much funding for it. I must say, that earlier, at least in our recent history of
Russia, we never spent so much money for such projects, 300 billion rubles”
128
“ … we demand that this university should become more than an educational institution – it should
be an intellectually dominant in the Russian Far East. It should be a center of attraction. It should be
the engine for development of the Russian Far East. But not only for Russia – it will be a leading
educational and scientific center in the Pacific Rim and the entire World.”

First Deputy Prime Minister of Russian Federation Igor Shuvalov, Deputy Minister for Regional
Development Nikolai Ashlapov, and FENU President Vladimir Kurilov at the site of Russian Island
Campus, February 2009.
Late 1990’s During this period FENU entered the rank of the best Russian universities, founded many
schools combining research and education, began to fulfill national tasks for training specialists,
promoting Russian education and science in the Pacific Rim. The University considerably
contributed to social and economic development of the Russian Far East. The ability of FENU to
complete these tasks was limited by rather limited government financing.
Nevertheless, the university used its own resources for creating a foundation which later became
the main factor in its success.
The resulting equipment and facility base became the framework for developing a wide range of
scientific and educational research, such as exploring marine biota, oriental studies, international
129
management and other branches of research and education.
2005
FENU President Vladimir I. Kurilov submitted a proposal on creating a federal university on the
base of FENU. This proposal was initially submitted to the Governor of Primorsky Krai, Sergey
Darkin. The proposal was supported by the Governor and referred to the Government of the
Russian Federation.
2005
During his first visit to Russian Island, Vladimir Putin, then President of Russia, offered the idea
of transforming the projects of the APEC Summit into federal university property thus providing
for a double purpose.
2006-2007 FENU won large budget federal grants proving that FENU is a top candidate for the federal
university status.
In 2006 FENU received the Quality Award in a contest initiated by the Russian Government. In
2007 the Russian Government awarded FENU again for the quality of its product and service,
and effective quality management. In 2007 FENU became a winner of a large scale federal grant
program for nanotechnology development. The university received financing for constructing
and equipping the building for the Institute of Scientific Information - Fundamental Library,
which has become one of the most advanced libraries in Russia.
From a grant for its innovative educational program of the “Education” national project, FENU
renovated 95% of its laboratory equipment.
Within the grant for its innovative educational program, FENU opened 49 new undergraduate
and graduate programs and 36 new application-oriented laboratories. The grant project was
completed in December 2007 and affected the position of the Federal Government on the FENU
federal university status.
January,
2008
FENU President V.I. Kurilov, supported by the FEBRAS President V.I. Sergienko, made a
presentation of the federal university project to Oleg Safonov, the Presidential Representative fo
the Far Eastern Federal District, who provided support and further promoted the project.
January 15, Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, approved area plans for APEC Summit infrastructure. This
2008
plan defined locations for the scientific-educational complex, including federal university
campus, the R&D park of FEBRAS, the Aquarium, the wilderness park and others.
March 6,
2008
Oleg Safonov, the Presidential Representative for the Far Eastern Federal District, reported the
project of creating a federal university to Vladimir Putin, President of Russia. President Putin
assigned the task to Prime Minister of Russia, V. Zubkov with directions “to support and
implement.”
March According to the Federal Government requests of March 16, 2008 and April 7, 2008, as well as
April 2008 to the Russian Federation President’s Order s of December 12, 2007 and March 6, 2008, FENU
developed and presented the "Concept of Far Eastern Federal University Development."
May 6, 2008 FENU President Kurilov assigned the initial project of technical feasibility for a federal
university campus to the Russian Institute of Urban Development and Investment Development
(GIPROGOR), project leader for infrastructure construction for the APEC Summit. During the
meetings in Moscow on May 6 and May 8, the working group approved the project of technical
feasibility for further detailed development.
May 7, 2008 On the day of his inauguration, Dmitry Medvedev, President of Russia, signed his first five acts,
including “Federal Universities Act” № 716. This Act directed the Russian Government to
develop a detailed project of Far Eastern Federal University. According to this Act, the Russian
130
Government requested Far Eastern National University to prepare the concept of its strategic
development as a federal university.
May 8, 2008 In his speech to the State Duma of Russia Vladimir Putin as a candidate for Prime Minister,
supported the proposal to construct the APEC Summit infrastructure as a campus of Far Eastern
Federal University.
May 22,
2008
FENU President Kurilov presented the Concept for FENU Development as a Federal University
to the Council of University Presidents of Primorsky Krai. The Council approved the concept.
May 28,
2008
The Russian Government held a meeting of the National Project “Education” Interdepartmental
Working Group to access the potential of a federal university network and concepts for their
foundation. Presidential Aide Arkady Dvorkovich presided at the meeting. Three institutions
made presentations: Far Eastern National University (FENU), Moscow Institute of Steel and
Alloys, and Moscow Engineering Physics Institute (MEPhI). FENU President Kurilov presented
"The Concept of FENU Development as a Federal University". The Concept was approved by
the participants of the meeting. The results of the discussions were used for further development
of the FENU Strategic Development Program.
May - June On a request of the Russian Government, FENU prepared the FENU Strategic Development
2008
Program as a Federal University (2008 – 2015)".
June, 19
2008
The FENU Strategic Development Program as a Federal University (2008 – 2015) was discussed
and approved by FENU University Council. Later that day the Program was submitted to the
Government of the Russian Federation.
June 23
2008
Minister of Science and Education of Russia, A. Fursenko, presented the FENU Strategic
Development Program as a Federal University and the Federal Universities Law draft to the
Federal Government Presidium. Both documents were approved by the Government.
July 3, 2008 The project team for APEC Summit infrastructure reviewed drafts of the new campus developed
by six national and international project companies. The group adopted the resolution of
developing a master plan combining the best ideas of all six drafts.
July 15,
2008
GIPROGOR Director for Russia and Ukraine, D. Mazo, presented the drawings of university
campus construction to the project team for APEC Summit infrastructure. The project team
made the decision to complete architectural planning for 2012 APEC Summit infrastructure
(Campus Phase 1) in short terms.
July 23,
2008
The Minister of Science and Education of Russia submitted the Federal Universities Law draft to
the State Duma of Russia.
July 24,
2008
In Moscow Engineering Physics Institute President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, presided at the
meeting for development of a network of Research and Education Centers in Russia. Participants
in the meeting were presidents of the universities under consideration to be federal universities;
FENU President Kurilov was one of them. In his speech President Medvedev stressed, “Today
the decision is made for founding a federal university in the Russian Far East…”
August 4,
2008
At Russian Government Presidium meeting, Prime Minister Putin said:
“The Federal Program of the Russian Far East and Zabaikalye Region Strategic Development
should be amended with planned activities and outcomes related to the APEC Summit in
Vladivostok and development of a federal university in the Russian Far East. We plan to create a
new educational and research center based on the new infrastructure for the APEC Summit.

So we have to implement two large projects at the same time. The APEC Summit infrastructure
has to be effectively used for further development of the university and the entire region. I mean
region because without creating powerful new intellectual centers it is impossible to reach our
goal: development of the Russian Far East and Siberia.
Extra federal financing to implement the program is more than 100 billion rubles, I stress
“extra”. Forty billion rubles will be spent only for construction of university infrastructure befor
2011. The total budget of the program is more than 200 billion rubles; 203 billion is the exact
amount.
There should be a new type of university which combines science and education. Construction
of several research centers and a modern campus for students and teachers will be its start. This
intellectual center will become a dominant factor for the Russian Far East and Siberia as well as
for the entire Pacific region. It is not easy, but we can do this.
This project will be impossible to implement without a firm material and technical foundation.
So those goals must be addressed first. But simultaneously, we must consider the Program for
developing the existing university; so the faculty development, educational programs and
research equipment renovation should match the construction of new buildings”

Strategic Areas of Research and Education Development
Development of FENU as a federal university is the largest innovative education and research
project in the history of the Russian Far East. It will facilitate solving many of the region’s socialeconomic problems, such as the weak economic relationship with European Russia, domination of
raw resources industries, population decline, and increasing migration of employable population.
This project creates conditions for developing the economy, attracting investments, and increasing
the quality of life for the population of the Russian Far East, and as a result increases national
security of Russia.
133
FENU as a federal university will concentrate its efforts on five main interrelated directions of
research and education. Each of them has national importance, increases national security and
develops human abilities:

Development and launching of new technologies and training specialists for exploring
resources and area of the World Ocean and their effective use for economic development of
the region and strengthening national defense potential.

Development of bio and nanotechnology programs, introduction of a nano-industry
economy and creation of regional high technology cluster.

Implementing federal policy for strengthening the Russian language in the Russian Far East
and in Pacific countries.

Study of political, economic and social processes in the Pacific countries and training high
quality specialists in Oriental Studies.

Development of the International Business School of FENU as a federal university for
training top and middle level managers for businesses and municipal authorities, developing
finance and business systems designed for Russian companies and specific development of
the region as part of the Pacific Rim.
To reach these economic and social development goals FENU, as a federal university, must:


provide high quality specialists and R&D for important investment projects in Russian Far
East, including the Oil and Gas Project (oil and gas processing; ecological investigation,
construction and maintenance of oil and gas pipe lines; damage control and accident
elimination, infrastructure development including technologies of new materials for surfaces
of roads, bridges, runways and others);
implement Science and Education programs by studying social-economic, ethnic and
migration issues of the Russian Far East.
FENU’s Place in the National Development Strategy and the Federal Universities System
The strategic goal of the Program is to establish a world-class university which will contribute to
innovative development of the Russian Far East and the entire country, strengthen its national
security and make it more competitive in world markets of education and technologies.
Implementing this goal requires the merger of fundamental science, applied science and higher
education for training high quality specialists for R&D, industry, business and social organizations
as they are the main factor of economic growth in the Russian Far East and its integration into the
world’s science and education systems. Highly trained and qualified people are needed to:
1. Implement one of the country’s developmental plans, the Federal Program “Economic and
Social Development of the Russian Far East and Zabaikalye to 2013” initiated by
Presidential Decree № 801 of November 21, 2007, which includes targets for developmental
strategy of the region through 2020.
2. Develop infrastructure required for large projects like APEC Summit in Vladivostok, new
research projects, new science and education specialties based on high technology thereby
generating rapid development of the region.
134
3. Develop the Russian Far East is a strategic territory for Russia’s economic cooperation with
Pacific countries. Highly developed adjacent economies (Japan, Korea, China and others)
require rapid involvement of the Russian Far East into the Pacific Rim’s high tech
industries. It requires material and human resources for R&D to create technological
inventions for prototype production. It also requires innovative education with improved
content and methods of teaching.
4. Promote Russian language and culture and create interest in Russian education and science.
Export of educational services to the Pacific Rim is necessary for strengthening the national
security in the Russian Far East.
5. Develop strategic interests of Russia and long-term involvement with Pacific countries in
economy and politics. These will require programs of oriental studies, teaching Chinese,
Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Hindi, and other oriental languages, and studies of politics,
economy, history and culture of Pacific countries. Oriental studies in Russia must become
an important factor for defending geopolitical interests of Russia in its Pacific area.
6. Create conditions in the Russian Far East to attract active and highly educated people
required for its economic and technological development.
7. Implement the Federal Program “World Ocean” during 2008-2012. The concept for
development of robot submarine vehicles of the Russian Federation up to 2021, and the list
of top-priority sciences, technoloies and engineering approved by President of Russian
Federation (Decrees № Пр-842 of May 21, 2006 and № Пр-843 of May 21, 2006) make it
necessary to explore and exploit marine resources. “World Ocean” is Russia’s main R&D
goal of the 21st century and requires highly trained experts in marine technologies.
8. Accomplish the Presidential initiative “Strategy for developing nano-industries” (Decree №
Пр-688 of April 24, 2007) and the Federal Program “Developing infrastructure for nanoindustries in the Russian Federation during 2008-2010.” These are approved by President of
the Russian Federation and include establishment of high-tech clusters in the region whose
focus is development and implementation of new technologies for the nano-industry.
9. Develop the FENU International Business School for graduating managers and businessmen
well prepared to interact with the Pacific Rim economies. The graduates will be skilled in
oriental languages and knowledgeable in the special characteristics of business, economy
and culture of the Pacific Rim.
Program Activities
The main goal of the Program is innovative development of Russian Far East as part of Russian
geopolitics and includes the following inter-related steps.
1. Modernization of the educational process to integrate study and research. Creating a
world-class research university based on integration of science, education and production
will result in an educational system that will transfer scientific research into technology and
insure innovative growth.
2. Modernization of scientific research and innovative practice. This includes scientific
research in a wide range of sciences and is a top priority for a high-tech economy, social and
cultural development and national security of Russia. Integration of education and science
is the foundation for producing highly qualified graduates, applied research for
technological breakthroughs, transferring science research into the economy, modernization
of educational and research processes, and unification of science, education and production.
135
Establishing strong connections between fundamental research and social well being will
create an innovative environment of business incubators, techno parks, venture funds, and
engineering companies.
3. Integration into the world's science and education system and export of educational
services and R&D. These will be accomplished by joint diploma programs with the leading
universities, establishing representative schools abroad, creating international institutes,
departments, divisions and international centers through agreements with governments and
other universities, and cooperation and student exchange with leading universities
.
4. Training for human resources. FENU as a federal university will create conditions for
growth of professional and administrative university staff by attracting leading professors
and scientists from around the world that will in turn attract the best students into science
and education.
5. Developing facilities and equipment. Establishing an entire university infrastructure will
require building a world-class university campus for students (centers for international
students plus designing and constructing modern and secure dormitories for all students). An
R&D Park will include all the facilities and equipment needed for research. Residences for
university staff and teachers will also be constructed.
6. Creating an Information Resources Center (IRC) The IRC of FENU as a federal
university will include scientific and educational resources for all the branches of the
university including a description of sources as well as full text holdings and multimedia
sources. Cataloging the sources both alphabetically and by topics insures easy access to the
documents for fundamental research, lectures, practice activity or presentation with the use
of full text holdings and multimedia sources.
7. Modernization of university structure and management system. This will require
creating of an effective management system for designing and filling a new university
organization chart; launching strategic quality and budget management, strengthening
requirements for selecting and training university staff and development of a corporate
culture.
