The university was founded on April 21, 1921 by the government of the Russian Soviet Federal Socialist Republic and the Comintern . In 1923 she was given the honorary title “имени И. В. Сталина ”(“ named after JV Stalin ”).
It originally served to train people of non-Russian nationality who lived on the territory of the Soviet Union in order to commit them to the October Revolution . After just a few years, its mandate was expanded: it was supposed to train those cadres who were to carry the revolution to the colonies and dependent areas of Asia. In 1925 students from 10 different states and territories were enrolled at the university, and in 1927 there were 74 nationalities.
The university had branches in Baku ( Azerbaijan ), Irkutsk and Tashkent ( Uzbekistan ).
The curriculum consisted mainly of the basics of Marxism-Leninism , methods of mass mobilization, administration and law as well as approaches to the proletarian revolution.
When the civil war in China broke out in full in the mid-1920s and there was a great need for Chinese revolutionaries, another university was founded specifically for the Chinese: Sun Yatsen University . In 1928, about 100 Chinese students were transferred to Sun Yat-sen University.
