Saint Petersburg State University of Economics and Finance
Encyclopedia
Saint Petersburg State University of Economics and Finance (Санкт-Петербургский государственный университет экономики и финансов) was established in 1930 as "Leningrad Institute of Finance and Economics" (Ленинградский финансово-экономический институт; hence the colloquial name Финэк (Finec)). The campus of the University occupies the buildings of the former Assignation Bank, which were designed by the famous Italian architect Giacomo Quarenghi
.
LFEI was enlarged several times, by merging first with the Moscow Institute of Finance and Economics in 1934, then in 1940 with Higher Institute of Finance and Economics (Leningrad) and Financial Academy (Leningrad).
During the World War II the Institute was evacuated first to Essentuki
and then to Tashkent
. Finec renewed its operations in Leningrad on the 1 of September 1944.
In 1954 LFEI was merged with Leningrad Planning Institute. In 1963 it was named after Russian economist and politician Nikolai Voznesensky
. From 1966 to 1991 Yuri Lavrikov was rector of the institute.
On 23 of September 1991, by the decree of the Council of Ministers of RSFSR, N.A. Voznesenski Leningrad Institute of Economics and Finance was renamed Saint-Petersburg State University of Economics and Finance. During the post-soviet years, the University firmly established itself among the leaders of the Russian economic schools, being the first in the official ratings of the Russian Ministry of Education
for more than a decade. In October 1991 L. Tarasevich has become the rector of the University. In December 2006 Igor Maksimtsev was elected as the new rector.
At present the university enrolls about 13,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students, who are given instruction at 11 faculties and 40 departments. Every department provides different specializations, the list of which is revised annually in accordance with the changing conditions of the labor market. Its teaching staff numbers 850, 80% of whom have advanced academic degrees. The latest methods of teaching, as well as modern technologies are used in academic instruction.
Soon the bank began to accept deposits at 5% per annum and grant loans of 10-25 thousand rubles. In 1786, Moscow and St. Petersburg branches merged to form the "Imperial Assignation Bank", which was allowed to perform currency exchange operations with foreign states.
In 1799-1805, the buildings of the bank also housed Saint Petersburg Mint
, which produced coinage. By 1817 the bank had issued banknotes worth 836 million rubles, and the value of these Assignation rubles declined considerably. In 1843, Assignation ruble notes were withdrawn from circulation, and replaced by the state credit notes (Russian: государственные кредитные билеты). These were issued by the newly created State Bank, which was also housed on Sadovaya Street.
In 1930 the building of the former Assignation Bank was granted to the forerunner of St. Petersburg University of Economics and Finance.
(Merchant Yard), by the decree of Catherine II of 1782. Previously, this site was occupied by the Marine Market, which was destroyed by fire. The same decree assigned the construction of the bank to an Italian architect Giacomo Quarenghi. It became one of his first projects in St. Petersburg. Quarenghi began the construction of the Academy of Sciences, the Hermitage Theatre and the Silver Rows simultaneously with the bank building. The Bank building was completed in 1790.
The site had a trapezoidal shape formed by Sadovaya Street, two lanes and the Catherine Canal, which had been dug shortly before. On the other side of Sadovaya Street there were wooden markets Apraksin Dvor and Shchukin Dvor. Quarenghi used the layout similar to that of Bartolomeo Rastrelli
’s Vorontsovsky Palace, with horseshoe-shaped mint vaults as side wings. The office building is in the center of the ‘horseshoe’, light transversal galleries connecting it with vaults. Quarenghi embellished the strict and elegant structure by porticos at the horseshoe ends and along the axis of the office building, which is outlined by the beautiful cast-iron railing towering on the granite pillars. Two pavilions are flanking the entrance. Spatiality of the composition is emphasized by different Greek column orders: the outside porticos of the mint vaults as well as the entrance pavilions are styled in the monumental and heavy Doric order, and the six-column portico of the office building is of a more elegant Corinthian order. The light and airy architecture in conjunction with open galleries made the front yard appear more spacious and impressive.
Quarengi organized the internal space of the two buildings according to their functional purpose. The utilitarian Mint was laid out as a corridor between two perimeter rows of storerooms, each ending with guardhouses or guardrooms. The main building has enfilade arrangement and grand main staircase. The side walls are plastically designed with pairs of Corinthian pilasters and statues in niches. A more rigorous and monumental lobby is decorated in Doric order.
When the ensemble of the Assignation Bank was completed in 1790, Quarenghi apparently believed it to be his major success, and in 1791 he assisted in publishing the album of 8 engravings of the new complex: layouts, façades, sections and a fence draft.
It was Karl Ivanovich Rossi who undertook to overcome the restrictions of this rudimentary creative method in the early third of the 19th century. As early as 1817 the wall overlooking the Catherine Canal was replaced with cast iron railing, designed by the architect Ernst Ruska. Then the galleries were opened and built up as high as the main building. In the late 19th century the Mint building facing the Canal was also increased in height. Many changes have taken place in the interior design, especially after the building was transferred to the Finance and Economics Institute in 1930 (now St. Petersburg University of Economics and Finance).
Quarenghi did not come to his final solution straightaway: the Bank Board had repeatedly rejected the architect's plans, considering them too gorgeous compared to the business function of the building. One of the reports, for example, stated: “... the shapes above and below the middle border, and at the bottom of all the other things should be eliminated and replaced with plain rectangular bars ... Lances are to be made of iron, while the descending brushes as well as round ornaments within the middle border shall be made of bronze.”
The solemn railing focuses on the harmony of the entire complex with the Sadovaya Street ensemble. Since Catherine Canal Embankment at that time was not worthy of note, Quarenghi constructed there a blank stone wall and surrounded it on the three sides by the lot, adjacent to the household and ancillary buildings. This semi-detached layout of the important government building reflected the traditional concept of the city as a conglomeration of separate buildings.
over the Griboyedov Canal connects Kazansky and Spassky Islands in the central area of St. Petersburg. The bridge was named after the Assignation Bank next to it.
One is situated at Park Pobedy metro station, so it takes about 30–40 minutes to get to university from there. Students pay 55 rubles as a monthly rent but the rate is not fixed and since this year it has become rather high. The students, who do not pay tuition fee, have to pay 2400 rubles per month except for orphans and disabled people who have state benefits and those who have contract with government departments.
The rooms are intended for three, sometimes two or four people of the same gender. The bathrooms and restrooms are situated at the end of the corridors. Kitchens are meant to be for everybody too. There are a few electric stoves and sinks, so that anybody can use them for cooking. Students are not supposed to have microwaves and electric kettles in the rooms as precautionary measures.
Another university dorm is located at Ladozhskaya metro station. The facilities in that dormitory are much better, as it was designed for exchange and foreign students, although nowadays the Russian students who are paying for their education at the university can also live there.
Then there is a dormitory right in the university yard. However, it is being rebuilt now for the use as auditoria.
- It is elected by students
- It deals with students’ problems
- It runs the work of other students’ organizations
The Council consists of different committees: scientific research, touristic, musical, international, sports, etc. There are also Students’ Councils of the faculties and dormitories. They include teams of active, creative and ambitious students, successfully combining excellent studies and social life. They do everything to make their stay at university more exciting and diverse.
The Students’ Council of St Petersburg State University of Economics and Finance is the best Council all over the Russian Federation. It got the award as the best students’ self-government body in the spring of 2009. The members are self-confident people who know what they want and how to implement their plans. So this is the best place where each student can feel comfortable and do something new for the whole University.
Chronology
The Contest consists of two rounds: the Faculty Contest and the subsequent University Contest. Students’ papers are prepared as a result of the previous year’s research under the supervision of their professors and other people who are involved in this kind of work.
The main assessment criteria:
The students whose papers were considered to be the best are awarded diplomas and gratuities.
Students’ Club holds different events every year: Pervokursnik Day (Freshman Day), Winter KVN (Wit and Humour Club), Spring Theatre Show, Musical Festival, etc.
So anybody who can sing, act or dance can become a member of the Club. The coaches are young themselves and one can have a wonderful time among people who always do crazy things. For example, when first-year students (Freshmen) come to the Club, they have to get through their first competition Pervokursnik. Those who teach freshmen are third or fourth-year students who try to impart practical skills of drama. So it is fun to be around.

Assignation Bank
In 1769, during the reign of Catherine the Great, the Assignation Bank was founded in St. Petersburg to issue and exchange banknotes in the denomination of 25, 50, 75 and 100 rubles. These notes, known as Assignation rubles, were based on the copper money then circulating in the country. Moscow branch of the Assignation Bank was founded at the same time. At the start, the equity of each branch amounted to 500 thousand rubles.Soon the bank began to accept deposits at 5% per annum and grant loans of 10-25 thousand rubles. In 1786, Moscow and St. Petersburg branches merged to form the "Imperial Assignation Bank", which was allowed to perform currency exchange operations with foreign states.
In 1799-1805, the buildings of the bank also housed Saint Petersburg Mint

, which produced coinage. By 1817 the bank had issued banknotes worth 836 million rubles, and the value of these Assignation rubles declined considerably. In 1843, Assignation ruble notes were withdrawn from circulation, and replaced by the state credit notes (Russian: государственные кредитные билеты). These were issued by the newly created State Bank, which was also housed on Sadovaya Street.
In 1930 the building of the former Assignation Bank was granted to the forerunner of St. Petersburg University of Economics and Finance.

(Merchant Yard), by the decree of Catherine II of 1782. Previously, this site was occupied by the Marine Market, which was destroyed by fire. The same decree assigned the construction of the bank to an Italian architect Giacomo Quarenghi. It became one of his first projects in St. Petersburg. Quarenghi began the construction of the Academy of Sciences, the Hermitage Theatre and the Silver Rows simultaneously with the bank building. The Bank building was completed in 1790.
The site had a trapezoidal shape formed by Sadovaya Street, two lanes and the Catherine Canal, which had been dug shortly before. On the other side of Sadovaya Street there were wooden markets Apraksin Dvor and Shchukin Dvor. Quarenghi used the layout similar to that of Bartolomeo Rastrelli

’s Vorontsovsky Palace, with horseshoe-shaped mint vaults as side wings. The office building is in the center of the ‘horseshoe’, light transversal galleries connecting it with vaults. Quarenghi embellished the strict and elegant structure by porticos at the horseshoe ends and along the axis of the office building, which is outlined by the beautiful cast-iron railing towering on the granite pillars. Two pavilions are flanking the entrance. Spatiality of the composition is emphasized by different Greek column orders: the outside porticos of the mint vaults as well as the entrance pavilions are styled in the monumental and heavy Doric order, and the six-column portico of the office building is of a more elegant Corinthian order. The light and airy architecture in conjunction with open galleries made the front yard appear more spacious and impressive.
Quarengi organized the internal space of the two buildings according to their functional purpose. The utilitarian Mint was laid out as a corridor between two perimeter rows of storerooms, each ending with guardhouses or guardrooms. The main building has enfilade arrangement and grand main staircase. The side walls are plastically designed with pairs of Corinthian pilasters and statues in niches. A more rigorous and monumental lobby is decorated in Doric order.
When the ensemble of the Assignation Bank was completed in 1790, Quarenghi apparently believed it to be his major success, and in 1791 he assisted in publishing the album of 8 engravings of the new complex: layouts, façades, sections and a fence draft.
It was Karl Ivanovich Rossi who undertook to overcome the restrictions of this rudimentary creative method in the early third of the 19th century. As early as 1817 the wall overlooking the Catherine Canal was replaced with cast iron railing, designed by the architect Ernst Ruska. Then the galleries were opened and built up as high as the main building. In the late 19th century the Mint building facing the Canal was also increased in height. Many changes have taken place in the interior design, especially after the building was transferred to the Finance and Economics Institute in 1930 (now St. Petersburg University of Economics and Finance).
Cast Iron Railing
Cast iron railing along Sadovaya Street constitutes one of the essential components in the overall concept, perhaps it even served a prototype for the Summer Garden lattice in the late 1770s.Quarenghi did not come to his final solution straightaway: the Bank Board had repeatedly rejected the architect's plans, considering them too gorgeous compared to the business function of the building. One of the reports, for example, stated: “... the shapes above and below the middle border, and at the bottom of all the other things should be eliminated and replaced with plain rectangular bars ... Lances are to be made of iron, while the descending brushes as well as round ornaments within the middle border shall be made of bronze.”
The solemn railing focuses on the harmony of the entire complex with the Sadovaya Street ensemble. Since Catherine Canal Embankment at that time was not worthy of note, Quarenghi constructed there a blank stone wall and surrounded it on the three sides by the lot, adjacent to the household and ancillary buildings. This semi-detached layout of the important government building reflected the traditional concept of the city as a conglomeration of separate buildings.
Bank Bridge
The Bank BridgeBank Bridge
Bank Bridge is a 25-m-long pedestrian bridge crossing the Griboedov Canal near the former Assignation Bank in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Like other bridges across the canal, the existing structure dates from 1826. The bridge engineer was Wilhelm von Traitteur, who conceived of a pedestrian...
over the Griboyedov Canal connects Kazansky and Spassky Islands in the central area of St. Petersburg. The bridge was named after the Assignation Bank next to it.
Campus
The campus being urban, the buildings of St Petersburg State University of Economics and Finance are scattered around the city. There are three dormitories (halls of residence) owned by the university in several areas.One is situated at Park Pobedy metro station, so it takes about 30–40 minutes to get to university from there. Students pay 55 rubles as a monthly rent but the rate is not fixed and since this year it has become rather high. The students, who do not pay tuition fee, have to pay 2400 rubles per month except for orphans and disabled people who have state benefits and those who have contract with government departments.
The rooms are intended for three, sometimes two or four people of the same gender. The bathrooms and restrooms are situated at the end of the corridors. Kitchens are meant to be for everybody too. There are a few electric stoves and sinks, so that anybody can use them for cooking. Students are not supposed to have microwaves and electric kettles in the rooms as precautionary measures.
Another university dorm is located at Ladozhskaya metro station. The facilities in that dormitory are much better, as it was designed for exchange and foreign students, although nowadays the Russian students who are paying for their education at the university can also live there.
Then there is a dormitory right in the university yard. However, it is being rebuilt now for the use as auditoria.
