History

edit

The roots of the university began in the Agricultural Institute, founded on 5 October 1816 in Marymont (the suburb of Warsaw, Poland) by the Decree of emperor Alexander І.[1] and has common origins with the Warsaw University of Life Sciences.The Agricultural Institute was renamed into the Marymont Institute of Agriculture and Forestry after joining to it the Warsaw Forest School in 1840.[2][3] In 1862 the institute was relocated to the Pulawy in the Lublin province, where it was named the Nowoaleksandryjski Institute of Agriculture and Forestry.[4][5] The institute was in Pulawy before the World War I. In 1914, it was evacuated to Kharkiv[1]

In 1921, the institute was rebuilt under the new name of Kharkiv Agricultural Institute.[1][6]

The institute was evacuated to the city of Kattakurgan of the Uzbek SSR during World War II. In October 1944, it was returned to Kharkiv. The Institute in March 1946 received the name of soil scientist of V.V. Dokuchayev on the 360th anniversary of his birth.[1][6]

In 1991, the institute was transformed into the Kharkiv State Agrarian University named after V.V. Dokuchayev. National status to the university was granted in March 2002.[1][6]
