Background.

In 1921, the Institute of Public Education was established in Chita, called the Trans-Baikal University. It had 3 faculties. It was the time of the DVR. In 1923, by the decision of the Russian government, he was transferred to Vladivostok, where the Far Eastern University was founded.

In 1937, the Chita region was formed. New socio-economic conditions have put forward the task of training teachers and other specialists with higher education. The pedagogical schools of Sretensk, Baley, Petrovsk-Zabaikalsky, Aginsk trained teachers for primary schools. The region was replenished with teachers with higher education from other regions of Siberia.

For the 1939/40 academic year, 15.9% of teachers with higher education worked in 959 schools in the region. Two-thirds of the directors and employees of IT did not have a higher education.

1938—1951

On August 25, 1938, the decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR No. 265 was issued on the opening of four—year institutes with three faculties - historical, philological and physico-mathematical - simultaneously in Arkhangelsk, Magnitogorsk and Chita. The admission plan for 1938 was set at 120 people. A lot of organizational and economic work was carried out by IT, local authorities. The Institute received a building at 45 Albazinskaya (Kurnatovsky) Street. A little later, the institute moved to 140 Chkalov Street.

He worked at the university in various positions from senior lecturer of the Department of Mathematics, head of the department to vice-rector for Academic and Scientific Work and rector of the university.

With the beginning of the Second World War, the university was moved to the building on Frunze Street No. 1 (now the IPK of Education workers), and an evacuation hospital for the seriously wounded was located in the building on Chkalov Street. Students helped to take care of the wounded, collected warm clothes and funds to help the front, harvested firewood and coal and heated stoves in the university and dormitories.

The dropout from the university was large. There were years when the question of closing the institute was raised. He fought, returned after N. A. Kaslov was wounded and began working as a director of the university and head of the Department of Mathematics. Many students died in the war. So, the former director N. A. Rodionov died defending Moscow. Students P. I. Akimov, N. Kuznetsov, P. Leontiev and others died.
