The history of our university

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, there were 11 universities in the Russian Empire. However, with the establishment of the Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1919, there was no a single higher educational institution on its territory. The need to train highly qualified specialists for various fields became acute. Although the Resolution "On the Organization of 15 Soviet Universities" was adopted in that same year, the subsequent intervention prevented this from being implemented.

The Belarusian State University was one of the first to open, where specialists in economics were trained. However, the state's increasing need for well-educated workers was reflected in the Resolution of 1929 "About Personnel of the National Economy". It was declared about the need to improve the academic training of economists of various profiles. In 1930 an independent Faculty of National Economy was established within BSU with five departments: industrial, agricultural, planning and statistical, financial and cooperative.

In August 1931, in order to increase the output of specialists for the developing national economy, the Council of People's Commissars of the BSSR adopted the Resolution "On the reorganization of the BSU". According to the Resolution, the Faculty was transformed into 3 independent institutes: Planning and Economics, Financial and Economics and the Institute of Consumer Cooperation (Cooperative), each under different administrative jurisdictions. However, these institutes lasted only about two years, with 335 graduates. Despite a slight increase in the number of economics graduates, the emergence of three small economic universities led to fragmentation and narrow specialization, weakened the material and technical base of these universities and dispersed the teaching staff. There were not enough specialists, since the distribution went all over the country: from Brest to Kamchatka and the Far East, and therefore the training of economic personnel required radical improvement.

1933

On May 20, 1933, the Council of People's Commissars of the BSSR adopted the Resolution No. 721 on the establishment of a new educational institution in Minsk based on the three aforementioned institutes and initially called the Institute of National Economy.

By the fall of 1933, the Gosplan of the BSSR approved the status of the Belarusian State Institute of National Economy (BSINE) and its workers' faculty.

With the establishment of BSIINE, the educational process was improved, the number of applicants increased, and the Institute's resources were expanded and strengthened. In October 1933, the training of research personnel through postgraduate studies began.

In the 1933/1934 academic year, the institute had 13 departments and over 100 faculty members, including Academician I.A. Petrovich; 14 professors – P.M. Kiryushin, M.S. Golendo, M.I. Orlenko, G.A. Cherny, A.A. Manov, P.I. Pinchuk, S.P. Margelov, Ya.G. Rakov, I.S. Vygodsky and others; 34 associate professors - A.V. Gurlo, V.M. Sytko, M.A. Ivashchenko, G.S. Alexandrov, P.I. Streltsov, A.M. Artsimovich, F.P. Sadovsky, D.E. Sokolovsky, S.O. Elyanov and others; 46 assistants and 6 engineers.

1935

On January 20, 1935, at the request of the Institute’s staff, the respublic’s government adopted a resolution on the assignment of the BSINE named after V.V. Kuibyshev, a prominent figure in the Communist Party and the Soviet state. The Institute bore a title until 1992.
