The Baku State University ( Azerbaijani : Bakı Universiteti Dövlət ; Russian Бакинский государственный университет ) is a university in the Azerbaijani capital Baku .
history
Baku State University was founded in 1919 during Azerbaijan's first independence . The founding rector was Vasily Rasumovsky , previously a professor at Kazan University . After the occupation of Azerbaijan by the Bolshevik troops on April 28, 1920, several hundreds of Azerbaijani professors were deported to Siberia. The university disciplines were exposed to a broad russification policy. In 1945 the university took a leading role in establishing the Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan. Baku University of Medicine, Baku University of Economics and Baku University of Education are spin-offs from the State University.
In 1969, research and teaching were realigned. Several faculties and more than 30 scientific institutes have since been set up.
