Kursk State Agricultural Academy

Studies at the Kursk Agricultural institute began in 1956 at two faculties of agronomy and zooengineering. The first deans of these faculties were assistant professor Dmitry Anatolyevich Legnev and professor Alexander Anufrievich Sisoev.

The rector of the new institute was assistant professor Gregory Mikhaylovich Barsukov (1951-1962).

In 1970 according to the UNESKO's decision our institute was named after the outstanding scientist and practitioner professor I.I.Ivanov in conucation with his 100's anniversary. The Council of Ministers of the Russian Federation decided to give the Kursk Agricultural Institute this name on the 27th of June, 1970.

In October, 1994 the status of our institute changed and it was reorganized to the Kursk State Agricultural Academy.
