The story

Perm State University was founded on 14 October 1916. Its origins lie in the opening of a branch of St. Petersburg University in the city of Perm. This decision of the Russian government was in tune with the strategy of the cultural and geopolitical development of the Urals economic region. The idea of a center of higher education in the Urals was supported by D.I. Mendeleev, A.S.Popov, D.N.Mamin-Sibiryak, A.G.Denisov-Uralsky and other public figures.

A mass shooting occurred at the university on 20 September 2021, by a law student at the university, resulting in six deaths and 23 injuries.

After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, European and UK partners of the university took a break from student internships and programmes with them. The University of Oxford in the UK announced the suspension of preparations for the summer school.
