  • Our History

Our school is the same age as Kosta Khetagurov North Ossetia State University. It was one of the first two faculties when the Terek Institute for National Education opened on 21 August 1920. In 1924 it became the General Economics Faculty, then in 1927 Natural History and in 1932 History.

In 1934 the North Caucasus Education Institute and the Ossetian Educational Institute merged into the North Ossetia Educational Institute and the school of history consisted of two departments: The History of the USSR and General History.

When NOEI was transformed into North Ossetia State University in 1969 the departments of the history of the USSR before the revoltion, the history of USSR during soviet times, ancient and medieval history, new and recent history. At the end of the 1970’s on the intitiative of A. Magometov the North Caucasus archeological expedition is launched opened, which transformed into the Institute for Fundamental Research and has now become the History and Archeology Institute of NOSU.

The Dean is professor Zalina Plieva.
