Studying the history of higher education in Russia not only allows us to trace the genealogy of its current problems, but also allows us to look at Russian society in microcosm. In her monograph, Ekaterina Zharova examines the history of the natural science departments of the physics and mathematics faculties of universities in the Russian Empire from their inception in the mid-1830s to the early 20th century. The author is interested in the most important aspects of scientific life: the organization of training (lectures, practical classes, exams), the formation of the faculty and laboratory facilities, specialization and professionalization.

A separate important aspect of the study is an attempt to trace the role of the state in the development of natural sciences. Analyzing the influence of state policy on the study and teaching of biology, the author shows how the university life was affected by the historical transformations caused by the change of eras - from Alexander I to Nicholas II.

Ekaterina Zharova is a Doctor of Historical Sciences, Senior Researcher at the St. Petersburg Branch of the IIET RAS.
