History
The Belarusian State University was founded on October 30, 1921 including the faculty of Social Sciences with a Department of Economics. The first student to receive an official BSU diploma was B. Karakulko, who was a graduate of the Department of Economics of the Faculty of Social Sciences. Four years later, after the first graduation of 34 economists, two other faculties were formed on this basis. One of these two was the faculty of National Economy, and by 1929 it consisted of the Department of Co-operation, the Department of Planned-economic Statistics, the Department of Finances and the Department of Industrial Management. In 1931 there were more than 700 students studying at the faculty. On May 20, 1933 The Institute of National Economy was established (nowadays - Belarusian state economic university) and many of the instructors of the BSU started working there. Despite the fact it lost much of its scientific and educational potential, the Department of Economics continued its development. In 1938 Professor A. Lurie became the Head of a reorganized Department of Political Economy, which had been training professional political economists at the faculty of Law until 1972 and then at the faculty of History. In 1989, the Department of Political Economy for Arts Subjects made up a new Faculty of Philosophy and Economics and was renamed into the Department of Economics. Also in 1991 the Department of Management was founded. Going under different names, the Department of Political Economy trained 869 economists between 1966 and 1999, and many of them were foreigners from Europe, CIS, Asian and Latin American countries. On March 1, 1999 the Scholar Council made a decision to unite several departments into The Faculty of Economics and grant independent educational unit status to it.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The true theater of history is therefore the temperate zone.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“I saw the Arab map.
It resembled a mare shuffling on,
dragging its history like saddlebags,
nearing its tomb and the pitch of hell.”
—Adonis [Ali Ahmed Said] (b. 1930)
