MSLU im. Maurice Thorez is a world-famous university that has long become one of the symbols of Russia. The university provides education in many programs and areas, but the most fundamental and high-quality knowledge is acquired at the departments of foreign languages ​​and translators.

Story

MSLU im. Maurice Thorez's history dates back to the formation of French language courses, organized in 1906. By 1926, the courses were already a state institution with the name “Higher Courses of Foreign Languages”; training was conducted at the Library of Foreign Literature. At that time, the flow of students was large - more than 1 thousand translators for government organizations were trained annually.

The expansion of courses and their demand became objective reasons for transforming the educational structure into an institute, which happened in 1930. The new university included three language departments (German, French, English), where teaching was conducted in translation and pedagogical areas of education.

In the thirties, a department of correspondence education and preparatory courses appeared at the institute. In 1935, the educational institution received the name of Foreign Languages ​​(MGPIYA). The full course of study of the subjects was 4 years, teaching was carried out at the faculties of basic languages. Most of the groups were overloaded with students whose ages ranged from 20 to 40 years old.

In 1939, MSLU (formerly Maurice Thorez Moscow State Pedagogical Institute) received its own building on Ostozhenka for permanent placement. During the same period, the first textbooks began to appear, research work began, and the university received the right to defend candidate dissertations. The plans were big and full of fruitful work, but the war began.

War and post-war transformations

In the summer of 1941, with the outbreak of hostilities, more than 700 students and teachers went to the front as volunteers, and the 5th Frunze People's Militia Division was created on the basis of the institute. Despite the hardships and significant restrictions, the educational process did not stop at the Maurice Thorez Moscow State Linguistic University. The front needed qualified translators to work with prisoners of war, conduct reconnaissance and subversive work behind enemy lines, and organize propaganda activities. The response to the demand of the time was the founding of the faculty of translators and referents in 1948.

Students and teachers of the Maurice Thorez Moscow State Linguistic University, after winning Victory in the Great Patriotic War, acted as translators at the trials of condemnation of Nazism in Nuremberg, and later in Tokyo. In 1946, on the basis of the Faculty of French, the Faculty of Romance Languages ​​was formed, where French, Spanish, and Italian were taught.

Since 1950 at Moscow State Linguistic University named after. Maurice Thorez's full course of education is five years. At the end of the fifties, the faculty of translators introduced an innovation for students - compulsory mastery of two foreign languages. The VI World Festival of Youth and Students, held in 1957 in Moscow, became a rich field for acquiring live communication skills and applying knowledge. Since 1961, UN translator courses have been running at the institute.

In 1964, the educational institution received the name of Maurice Thorez, and from that moment on, the name of the Institute of Foreign Languages ​​in Moscow became recognizable in the international arena. University status was obtained in 1990, when the country was undergoing global economic and political changes. In the wake of changes, new areas of study were opened at the university - economics, political science, law, cultural studies and many others. In 2000, Moscow State Linguistic University named after. Maurice Thorez acquires the status of the basic organization for languages ​​and culture of the CIS countries.
