Far Eastern State Technical University (FESTU) (Russian: Дальневосто́чный госуда́рственный техни́ческий университе́т, ДВГТУ) is a university located in Vladivostok, Russia. It was established on February 20, 1930 as Far Eastern Politechnical Institute (Дальневосточный политехнический институт (ДВПИ)). It was granted the university status in 1992.
FESTU is not a successor of Oriental Institute as it claimed to be. The court denied its claims and reassured Far Eastern National University as the only successor. But FESTU was established on base of closed Oriental Institute and the building of the original Oriental Institute is currently the main building of Far Eastern State Technical University.

“In the dominant Western religious system, the love of God is essentially the same as the belief in God, in God’s existence, God’s justice, God’s love. The love of God is essentially a thought experience. In the Eastern religions and in mysticism, the love of God is an intense feeling experience of oneness, inseparably linked with the expression of this love in every act of living.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“It should be noted that when he seizes a state the new ruler ought to determine all the injuries that he will need to inflict. He should inflict them once and for all, and not have to renew them every day.”
—Niccolò Machiavelli (1469–1527)
“I rather think the cinema will die. Look at the energy being exerted to revive it—yesterday it was color, today three dimensions. I don’t give it forty years more. Witness the decline of conversation. Only the Irish have remained incomparable conversationalists, maybe because technical progress has passed them by.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1984)
“The information links are like nerves that pervade and help to animate the human organism. The sensors and monitors are analogous to the human senses that put us in touch with the world. Data bases correspond to memory; the information processors perform the function of human reasoning and comprehension. Once the postmodern infrastructure is reasonably integrated, it will greatly exceed human intelligence in reach, acuity, capacity, and precision.”
—Albert Borgman, U.S. educator, author. Crossing the Postmodern Divide, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1992)
