history
19th century
The government order of December 3, 1865 on the opening of the Petrovskoy Academy of Agriculture and Forestry in the north of Moscow is regarded as the founding document of the university. Russia urgently needed well-trained specialists able to manage agricultural production on a scientific basis. For the study were listeners from all booths approved. Initially the following subjects were taught: agriculture, livestock , veterinary medicine , forestry , rural construction and engineering, technology of agricultural and forestry production, geodesy , chemistry , physics and meteorology , botany , zoology , mineralogy , political economy and theology . In the first few years the academy was only divided into an agriculture and a forestry department, at which about 400 students were registered.
Major reorganizations took place at the academy at the end of the 1880s. On May 30, 1889, the decree on the Petrovskoy Agricultural Academy was approved, which meant the liquidation of the forestry department. On March 12th, a new statute was adopted, but mostly similar to the previous one. On February 1, 1894, the academy closed because of the revolutionary unrest among the students. In June 1894 the Moscow Agricultural Institute was founded in Petrowsko-Razumovsky. The institute consisted of an agricultural and an agricultural engineering department. The first director of the institute was physics master KA Ratschinski. In addition to the previously existing teaching facilities such as a farm , a garden, a test field , a meteorological observatory and a library, there were now teaching cabinets for various special subjects . In 1896 a vegetation house was built, a number of buildings were expanded and a gas works was built for the laboratories. From 1895 to 1898 the Central Russian Meteorological Network , which comprised 10 central governorates , operated at the Meteorological Observatory . The Moscow breeding station was also established during this period.
20th century
In 1903 the first scheduled wheat , oat and potato cultivation work took place on parts of the test field . Pea farming began in 1905. After 1917 the old name of the academy was restored, the statutes and organizational structure of the academy were changed, and new curricula were created. In December 1923, by a decision of the Council of People's Commissars, the name was changed to the Timirjasew Academy of Agriculture after the plant physiologist Kliment Timirjasew . Since 1936 the academy has had a structure similar to that of today. The academy's scientific potential was so great that 15 additional universities and scientific research institutes were founded on its basis in Moscow and other cities in the country, including the Melioration Institute and the Institute for Fisheries Management . On February 20, 1940, the Academy was awarded the Order of Lenin by decision of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR .
During the Great Patriotic War students and professors were for defense work in Moscow used or replaced on the collective farms and state farms jobs of farm workers who were fighting at the front. The academy was temporarily evacuated to Samarkand and moved back to the building in Moscow in 1943. In 1950 the Council of Ministers of the USSR adopted a resolution defining the tasks of the Academy, its structure, the foundations of teaching and measures for the development of the material base. The academy received the status of the leading agricultural college in the country. On December 3, 1965, she was awarded the Order of the Red Labor Banner .
In 1994, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation registered the academy as the Moscow Agricultural Academy named KA Timiryazev . In 1998 the establishment of a military faculty began. The International Association Agroobrasowanije (German Agricultural Education ) was founded in 1999. It is a non-commercial voluntary organization of agricultural educational institutions of Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States .

On June 20, 2005, the Academy received a new accredited status and its current designation by Order No. 454 of the Federal Agency for Agriculture .
