Dates and facts

History

The Faculty of History was established in 1938 on the basis of the Karaganda Teachers' Institute. The contingent of students of the Faculty of History in the first year was 50 people. K. Zholumbetov was appointed the first dean, the head of the Department of History – K.I. Medelets, a graduate of the Leningrad Pedagogical Institute. It is noteworthy that the teachers at the faculty were major scientists known outside of Kazakhstan, among them V. A. Romanovsky, the first candidate of Historical Sciences. By the beginning of his work in Karaganda, he was already a well-known scientist, a representative of the Ukrainian historical school of Professor M.S. Grushevsky. For his scientific and social views, V. A. Romanovsky was convicted and exiled to Kazakhstan for 5 years, serving his term in Karlag. After his release from 1940 to 1947, he worked at the Historical Faculty of the Karaganda Teachers' Institute, where he headed the Department of History and brilliantly taught the pre-revolutionary history of Russia, Ukraine and other republics of the USSR. After the war, during the re-evacuation, he went to Russia, to Stavropol, where he headed the Department of History of the USSR until 1971. The traditions of studying the history of Russia, Ukraine and other countries of the Soviet Union, laid down by V. A. Romanovsky, were continued at the Faculty of History in subsequent years. In addition to V. A. Romanovsky, K. B. Baitasov, A. B. Beisenov, M. O. Ospanov, and Rymar worked at the Faculty of History. The first class of historians took place in 1940 and consisted of 33 people.

The Faculty of History developed, trained specialists for the field of education, public service. During the Great Patriotic War, many teachers and students of the faculty went to the front to defend their Homeland, many of them did not return. The Faculty continued to train personnel even during the harsh war years.

In 1941, Kali Zhuasov, a young 17-year-old, entered the History Department of the Karaganda Teachers' Institute. In 1943, he successfully completed his studies and was left as a teacher of the Department of History. For more than 50 years, until his death in 1995, K. Zhuasov worked at the Faculty of History. His biography is unique: a student, a teacher, a deputy director of the first teacher's institute, then the Pedagogical Institute, for almost 30 years – the dean of the historical, philological and historical faculties of the Institute and the university, for 10 years-the head of the Department of the History of the USSR of Karaganda State University.

Among the graduates of the military and the first post-war years, D. A. Shaimukhanov, the first Doctor of Historical Sciences in Central Kazakhstan, Professor (graduated in 1946), who was elected secretary of the Karaganda Regional Committee of the Communist Party of Kazakhstan, who worked for many years as the rector of the Karaganda Pedagogical Institute of Physical Education, head of the Departments of the History of the CPSU of the Karaganda Polytechnic Institute and Karaganda State University; M. K. Kulybekov (graduated in 1946) - Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor of the Karaganda Higher School of Militia and Karaganda State University; A. K. Kryukov, Candidate of Historical Sciences, Associate Professor, head of the Department of the Karaganda Cooperative Institute of the Centrosoyuz; S. S. Satarov, Honored Teacher of Kazakhstan, in different years headed the regional and city departments of education; R. N. Spanov, Candidate of Historical Sciences, Associate Professor, Karaganda State University.

On the basis of the orders of the Council of Ministers of the USSR (of July 5, 1952) and the resolution of the Council of Ministers of the Kazakh SSR (of August 4, 1952), the Karaganda Teachers' Institute was reorganized into a pedagogical institute: "In order to meet the needs of schools in Central Kazakhstan for more highly qualified teaching staff...".

In the early 1950s, historians were trained at the Faculty of History and Philology. 8 teachers worked at the Department of History: head of the Department K. N. Medelets (after the departure of V. A. Romanovsky), K. B. Baitasov, M. S. Bekbergenov, L. G. German, K. Zh. Zhuasov, S. I. Imankulov, Zh. B. Koishibaev. Two candidates of Sciences, specialists in world history K. I. Medelets and M. I. Boguslavsky worked at the Department of History.

In the 1980s, the Faculty of History had 3 departments, namely the history of the USSR, general History, and the history of Kazakhstan. At the faculty there was a museum-laboratory of archaeological and ethnographic research.

The 1990s were a new stage in the development of the university and the faculty, in particular. The legislative acts for the structural restructuring of the university were the Decree of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 573 of May 7, 1996 and the order of the Ministry of Education No. 143 of May 23, 1996, aimed at optimizing the structure of the universities of the republic. By these decisions, the Karaganda Pedagogical Institute was attached to the Karaganda State University named after Ye.A. Buketov. During the reorganization of the structure of the university, the Department of History of Kazakhstan was divided into two: for the humanities and natural sciences.

Today, the Faculty of History is a team of like-minded people who preserve and multiply the traditions of previous generations of historians. The Faculty consists of three departments: the Department of Archeology, Ethnology and National History, the Department of World History and International Relations, and the Department of History of Kazakhstan and the Assembly of People of Kazakhstan.
