Vladivostok,
Russia. Established in
1899, the university was closed in the late
1930s under
Joseph Stalin, and reopened in

Nikita Khrushchev visited Vladivostok.
Formerly named 'Far Eastern State University', the university changed its
English name in
2000 (the name in Russian remained unchanged). References to the university under its old name are common.
The university offers several programs to foreigners wishing to visit and learn Russian language and literature. It also opened branch programs in
