The Plekhanov Russian University of Economics (Russian: Российский экономический университет имени Г. В. Плеханова) is a public research university in Moscow, Russia. It was founded in 1907 by entrepreneur Alexei Vishnyakov as the first finance-specialized college in the Russian Empire. During the Soviet rule it became a large university.[citation needed]
In addition to accreditation by the Ministry of Education, the university has accreditations of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, European Council for Business Education and the Association of MBAs. PRUE is also a member of the European University Association (suspended in 2022[1] due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine[2]), Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, and the European Foundation for Management Development.[citation needed]
PRUE changed its name more than once: Moscow Commercial Institute (1907–1919); Karl Marx Moscow Institute of the National Economy (1919–1924); Plekhanov Moscow Institute of the National Economy (1924–1991); Plekhanov Russian Academy of Economics (1992–2010); Plekhanov Russian University of Economics (2010 to present). Recently, Plekhanov University acquired the Russian State University of Trade and Economics and the Moscow State University of Economics, Statistics, and Informatics.[citation needed]
History
The Moscow Commercial Institute was founded in 1907 on private donations of merchants, bankers and manufacturers, gathered at the initiative of Moscow merchant Alexei Vishnyakov.[citation needed] It was essentially the first institute in Russia which prepared qualified businessmen for rapidly developing branches of industry. Prior to the revolution of 1917, about 2,000 specialists were graduated from the institute.[citation needed] In 1924, it was renamed after Marxist thinker Georgi Plekhanov. In the 1960s, the institute was merged with the Moscow Governmental Economic Institute.[citation needed] After 1991, the institute obtained its current name. Recent years were marked with rising international cooperation, such as the foundation of the Africa Business House. Presently, the university deals with more than 80 partners in 52 countries.[3] Among its graduates, there are many prominent politicians and businessmen, such as Soviet statesman Mikhail Suslov, liberal democrat Grigory Yavlinsky, and faculty member Ruslan Khasbulatov, former Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR and later Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation (1991–1993).
