History

In the past, the institute was named Imperial Petersburg Institute of Technology (Russian : Императорский Петербургский Технологический Институт and Lensoviet Leningrad Institute of Technology (Russian : Лениградский Технологический Институт имени Ленсовета), the institute's name changing with that of the city. During the Imperial period, unlike most other Russian universities, the institute did not require completion of gymnasium education as a condition of entry; the only requirement was to pass the institute's examination.

During the Russian Revolution of 1905, the Saint Petersburg Soviet was established and met in the institute.

Andrey Shevchik (Шевчик Андрей Павлович), the rector of the Saint Petersburg State Institute of Technology has signed a letter of support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine. [2] [3]

Having a strong engineering profession was seen by many Russian rulers as a vital means of maintaining Russia's status as a great power. As historian Alfred J. Rieber wrote, "The marriage of technology and central state power had a natural attraction for Peter the Great and his successors, particularly Paul I, Alexander I, and Nicholas I". All three had had a military education and had seen the achievements of the engineers of revolutionary and imperial France, who had reconstructed the great highways, unified the waterways and erected buildings throughout Europe in a more lasting tribute to the French than all of Napoleon's victories.
