History
------------
The history of Moscow University for Humanities goes back to 1944, when the courses for the Central Komsomol (or Young Communist League) School were established. Later the Central Komsomol School was transformed into the Higher Komsomol School under the Central Committee of the Young Communist League. On the base of the Higher Komsomol School the Youth Institute was set, which after the fall of the Soviet Union was then transformed into the Moscow
Academy for Humanities and Social Studies. With the growth in the number of faculties and the development of numerous specializations, the school was named the Moscow University for the Humanities. In the dramatic years of political and economic changes following the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the University managed to preserve not only its beautiful campus with its park-like campus, well-maintained buildings and infrastructure, but also its high-quality staff, its considerable experience in education, its excellence in academic work, and its high acclaim both at home and abroad.
