Foundation and History
The Faculty was founded in 1952. Its foundation was caused by the urgent need in a highly skilled engineers' preparation due to the Soviet Military-industrial complex requests. Best students from the neighbouring Faculty of Physics were proposed to move into the newly created faculty. Hence, faculty of Radiophysics obtained its first graduators in 1953. The scholarship for the students of radiophysics was twice higher than for their colleagues from other faculties of the University. Interesting fact: Faculty of Radiophysics was subordinated to the Ministry of Defence of USSR (not to the Ministry of Education likewise other faculties were). First years faculty of radiophysics was never mentioned officially. It obtained its official name later on: 'the Faculty #3'. Three departments were created: the department of electrophysics, the department of electronics and the department of radiophysics. Since then the faculty has awarded degrees to over 6,000 graduates.

Famous quotes containing the words foundation and/or history:
“I believe that the mind can be permanently profaned by the habit of attending to trivial things, so that all our thoughts shall be tinged with triviality. Our very intellect shall be macadamized, as it were,—its foundation broken into fragments for the wheels of travel to roll over.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A country grows in history not only because of the heroism of its troops on the field of battle, it grows also when it turns to justice and to right for the conservation of its interests.”
—Aristide Briand (1862–1932)
