The First Mining School in Russia
The Moscow Mining Academy was established in 1918. The main task of the Academy was to train mining engineers and technicians, to popularize technological achievements among miners, to work on important problems of mining and metallurgical engineering and to direct scientific research. There were three departments in the Academy: mining, geological prospecting and metallurgy. The Moscow Mining Academy introduced a new course in coal mining mechanization, which provided the basis for the development of mining engineering. ThetwoscientistsA.M. Terpigorev and M.M. Protodyakonov wrote the first textbook on machinery for mining bedded deposits.
In 1925 the Moscow Mining Academy was one of the best-known educational institutions in Russia. It had well-equipped laboratories, demonstration rooms and a library which had many volumes of Russian and foreign scientific books and journals. The Academy established close contacts with the coal mining industries. The scientists carried out scientific research and worked on important mining problems.
In 1930 the Moscow Mining Academy was transformed into six independent institutes. Among the new colleges which grew out of the Academy’s departments were the Moscow Mining Institute and the Moscow Institute of Geological Prospecting. Later, the scientific research Institute of Mining appeared near Moscow.

The foundation of Russian-Chinese relations was laid thanks to mutual trade interests. According to the agreements, the first attempts by Russians to establish contacts with China date back to 1608. By the middle of the XVII century, the convergence of the territorial possessions of Russia and China created conditions for the establishment of long-term diplomatic and trade relations. As a result, in August 1689, negotiations between diplomatic representatives of the Russian state and the Qing Empire took place in Nerchinsk, culminating in the signing of the first-ever treaty on peace and good-neighborly relations between a European power and the largest state in East Asia.
