PLATOV SOUTH-RUSSIAN STATE POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY (NOVOCHERKASSK POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE) — THE OLDEST AND LEADING TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF THE SOUTH OF RUSSIA. It was in 1907 under the decree of the Russian emperor Nicholas II in the city of Novocherkassk. The university is state owned. Platov SRSPU(NPI) enters TOP 100 of the best higher education institutions in Russia and also in top-50 the best technical universities in Russia with high quality employees.

The territory of the IS PRESTIGIOUS! country is so huge that some regions are located in the snowy north Russia is the largest country in the world in terms of area. In Russia beyond the Arctic Circle, and some — in the sunny south. One of the more than 140 million people live, and the area of its territory exceeds most beautiful and hospitable regions of the south of Russia is the 17 million km2. Moscow is the capital of Russia. Rostov region, in which the city of Novocherkassk is located. 24 25

NOVOCHERKASSK is a city with a rich and significant history for Russia. It was founded in 1805 by Matvei Platov, ataman (head of the Cossack army), whose name is used by the South Russian State Polytechnic University. Currently, the population of Novocherkassk is about 185 thousand people. One of the main sights of Novocherkassk is Vozne- sensky Army Patriarchal cathedral — the third largest Orthodox church in Russia which is also called "The second sun of Don". Also bright sights of the city are the museum of history of the , the At- aman’s palace, a monument to the ataman Yermak and, of course, a delightful architectural complex of Platov South-Russian State Polytechnic University. Besides, in Novocherkassk there are about 200 mon- uments of history and the architecture open for stu- dents at all seasons of the year. In the city there are a lot of clubs, youth cafes and restaurants with various kitchen. NOVOCHERKASSK is the capital of the Don Cossacks — the soldiers who lived according to special traditions and for 200 years created their own unique culture. A true Cossack should be a fine warrior, be loyal to his Fatherland and the Don land, be educated, faithful to the Orthodox religion, an honest and decent person. The traditions of the Cossacks were revived at the Platov SRSPU(NPI) — the Cossack army was established at the university, as well as the Insti­ tute for the Study of the History of the Cossacks. Amazing Cossack holi- days and interesting cultural events are an integral part of the life of the city and the university. There are other major cities in the region next to Novocherkassk. Rostov-on-Don is located 25 km from Novocherkassk. Interesting excur- sions around the region will make the student's life rich and will allow you to know well the rich traditions and history of the south of Russia. 26 YOU CAN ALSO COME TO RUSSIA 27 AND STUDY WITH US AT PLATOV SRSPU(NPI)!
