Academy of Communications - main entrance

The building of the Odessa National Academy of Communications named after. A.S. Popova occupies a site along Kuznechnaya Street (formerly Chelyuskintsev) from Topolsky Lane to Lutheran Lane.

Academy of Communications - fragment of the facade

In 1982, when I graduated from this university, it was called the Odessa Electrotechnical Institute of Communications (OEIS). Then I was occupied with other concerns: passing a test/exam, not being late for classes at the military department, not missing a date, finally opening the swimming season (oh, the sea! By the way, in 1981 I opened the season on April 14, and in January 1982 years, the Gulf of Odessa was covered with ice). In short, I didn’t even think about who and when the main building of the institute was built, and its beauty was a given. So, probably, the students of the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum were unaware that not all schools are works of architectural art.
Let's return to the building of the Academy of Communications. Even the dry list of facts is impressive:
Type of building: administrative, educational
Style: Stalinist Empire style based on Renaissance and classicism
Architect: I. Breiburt
Date of construction: 1953

Status: historical and architectural monument of local significance

Like this: I was gnawing on the granite of science in a historical monument, and did not suspect that it was Stalin’s Empire style and so on. Now I remember that the building seemed much older to me, perhaps because my father entered this institute in 1954, that is, the next year after its construction - for me this meant that the building of the institute, like, for example, the Odessa Opera, it has always been. But no, it was literally built by the previous generation.

I should note that externally the Academy of Communications is very reminiscent of the Swiss Higher Technical School of Zurich, built in 1864 - a famous educational institution from which, for example, such famous personalities as Albert Einstein and Wernher von Braun graduated. Well, it is quite possible that it was precisely this that was taken as a role model. If the center of Odessa is compared to Paris in terms of architectural beauty (and Paris, of course, loses this rivalry), then why not choose the best prototype for the temple of science?

On the site where the Odessa Academy of Communications is located, educational institutions have stood almost since the founding of Odessa. When in 1824 German Square, bounded by Kuznechnaya and Novoselskaya streets and Topolsky and Lutheransky lanes, began to be built up, in addition to the church, the building of the real school of St. Paul was built, in which many famous personalities studied: P.P. Schmidt, L.D. Trotsky , V.P. Glushko and others. During the Great Patriotic War, the school building was destroyed, and the Academy of Communications now stands in its place.

Academy of Communications - Lobby

I’ll tell you about the history of the Academy of Communications itself another time, but today we’ll just see how beautifully it was possible to build even in the post-war period. The facade and interiors are superbly finished, perhaps one of the last buildings from the Soviet period to be so painstakingly decorated. Later, all these capitals, vaults, rosettes and platbands were declared “architectural excesses” and disappeared from construction practice. It's a pity.

The wonderful guys from the website ArchOdessa.com, who took photographs of the interiors, will help us take a virtual tour of the corridors of the Academy of Communications.

Academy of Communications - 3rd floor hall

Judging by photos taken in 2013, the building has recently undergone a facelift (although the first photo shows that the letters on the façade are about to fall off). The interiors have been updated and look fresh and cheerful.

A central staircase leads from the lobby to all floors of the Academy. This small flight of several steps leads down to the doors of the gym.

And this photo was taken in the hall of the second floor: wide glazed doors lead to the assembly hall of the institute, located between the first and second floors.

Academy of Communications - 3rd floor hall ceiling

The Academy building is three-story. The only exception is the main auditorium, located above the 3rd floor hall.

Academy of Communications - main audience

And here is the main audience itself. The benches for listeners are arranged in an amphitheater - just like in the famous exam scene from the film “Operation Y”. My first lecture after entering the institute took place here - in physics. The teacher, by the way, was very similar to the matured Shurik from the mentioned film. I even remember several quotes from that lecture: “... Russian physicists Mandelstam and Papaleksi were the first in the world...” and “... Russian physicists Ioffe and Millikan...”. It even seemed to me that there was some other kind of physics in Odessa - but no, Lodygin, Stoletov, Lomonosov and Popov were mentioned later, and the rest... well, who is to blame that people with such names were involved in Russian physics?

Academy of Communications - 2nd floor hall

If the first floor of the Academy housed the rector's office, library and military department, then on the second floor there were classrooms and a cafeteria.

Academy of Communications - side wing staircase

The stairs in the right and left side wings of the Academy building were made in three flights per floor and were supposed to reduce the load on the central staircase. Later, some of these side staircases were blocked off with bars in true Soviet tradition. For some reason, it was then customary to build, for example, a department store or even a stadium with a wide entrance designed for a large flow of people, but after opening such an entrance was certainly locked, and all the sufferers were pushed along the side staircases and narrow back doors. At the Academy, the central staircase, however, was never blocked, but out of six toilets (in each wing on each of the three floors) only one remained - on the third floor of the right wing. There were more faculties in the 90s of the 20th century, and, in my opinion, dean’s offices now replace toilets...

Academy of Communications - column capital in the hall

Well, and finally - an interesting photograph from the 80s of the 20th century, which shows the windows under the dome of the Academy - this is where the main auditorium is located.

Interestingly, from this auditorium there was an exit to a semicircular gallery, clearly visible in the photo. We, first-year students, were not afraid to let us out on this balcony for a smoke break during the break. The balcony is now closed. And behind the Academy building you can see

Odessa National Academy of Communications named after. A. S. Popova is a technical university focused on training specialists in the field of telecommunications. Since 1967, it has been named after the inventor of radio, Alexander Stepanovich Popov. The Odessa National Academy of Communications named after A. S. Popov has four institutes: Scientific and Educational Institute of Economics and Management, Educational and Scientific Institute of Computer Technologies, Automation and Logistics, Educational and Scientific Institute of Radio, Television, Electronics, Educational and Scientific Institute of Problems information society. The Odessa National Academy of Communications named after A. S. Popov has five faculties: Information networks, Telecommunication systems, Distance learning, Advanced training, Distance learning. The academic year at the Odessa National Academy of Communications consists of four quarters: autumn, winter, spring, summer. Based on the results of each quarter, students take tests and exams. The success of training is assessed on a 100-point scale (in practice, marks are most often set at 60 - satisfactory, 80 - good and 95 - excellent).

P.P. Vorobienko
Rector of ONAS named after. A.S. Popova

At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the main type of telecommunication was the telegraph.

In 1900, the Higher Courses for Telegraph Mechanics were opened in Odessa, which trained technicians for the southern part of the Russian Empire. The communication needs of Odessa during the revolution and civil war were met by private radiotelegraph workshops. In 1919, these workshops were reorganized into the first Odessa State Radiotelegraph Plant (ORTZ) in Russia.

In 1923, ORTZ ceased its independent activities. In the same year, the educational process was restored in the house of the former courses for telegraph mechanics, but already as the Odessa Higher Electrical College of High Currents named after. G. Grinko Minister of Education of Ukraine.

OVE graduates were awarded the qualification of engineer after four years of study. In 1925, a low-current department with three small groups was created at the Higher Electrical Technical School: telegraph operators, telephone operators and radio operators. From then on, the training of communications engineers began in Odessa, their first official graduation took place in 1925.

The autumn of 1929 was marked by an educational reform, and the Higher Electrical Technical School became the electrical engineering department of the Odessa Polytechnic Institute (OPI). The following year, according to the resolution of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR and the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR (4/237 dated July 23, 1930), the Odessa Institute of Communication Engineers (OIIS) was created on the basis of the electrical faculty of the OPI, the first graduation of which took place in 1931. The dean was appointed Director of the OIIS. Faculty of Electrical Engineering, OPI S. D. Yasinovsky.

During the formation of the institute, 1931 graduate S.M. was engaged in the design and production of equipment in the radio workshops of the institute for the needs of the Red Army. Plakhotnik, who eventually became Deputy Minister of Communications of the USSR, laureate of the USSR State Prize.

CM. Plakhotnik was one of the first in the Soviet Union to design a television, the work of which was demonstrated in the premises of the Odessa Opera and Ballet Theater for participants in the regional Congress of Soviets. In 1935-1937 under the leadership of SM. Plakhotnik were the first in the Soviet Union to carry out long-distance transmissions of low-line television from Odessa to Moscow.

Many pre-war graduates of the institute became recognized specialists in the field of telecommunications. Among them are doctors of technical sciences, professors I. S. Gonorovsky, G. Z. Aizenberg, A. M. Zingerenko, P. I. Evdokimov, State Prize laureates V. F. Zhelezov, S. M. Plakhotnik, A. A. Bolshoi, N. . N. Smirnitsky, V. Shumeiko.

Since 1937, the institute was headed by Vladimir Andreevich Nadezhdin, a graduate of the Military Academy of Communications.

The outbreak of the Great Patriotic War found the institute in its heyday. From the first days of the war, intense work began in it aimed at fighting the enemy. To a certain extent, this was facilitated by the pre-war “military” groups of graduates of the institute, whose training was carried out according to special programs. Thanks to them, the Red Army was replenished with a significant number of highly qualified commanders of communications units. Many teachers and students voluntarily joined the ranks of the fighter battalion, which carried out patrol duty to protect their hometown. The war with Nazi Germany ended in victory. But not everyone returned from the war. Many teachers and students of the institute gave their lives for their homeland. The monument to signalmen, built near its main building at the expense of employees and students, is a tribute to the living to the memory of the dead.

In 1948, the management of the institute was entrusted to associate professor Ivan Petrovich Pyshkin. Under his leadership, in 1954, with the help of students and teachers, one of the first experimental television centers in the USSR was built from captured radio components, which served Odessa. Along with the educational process, scientific research work was revived and actively expanded. Suffice it to recall the creation in 1959 of a suburban educational and research site, which spread over five hectares of land, the Meteor Research Institute under the leadership of A.I. Khacha-turov, where many leading scientists of the institute began their scientific activities.

Odessa residents and numerous guests of our city enjoy listening to the music of the Odessa chimes, created at the institute in 1959. The melody of I. O. Dunaevsky is still perceived to this day as a unique symbol of Odessa. The beginning of educational work in the new premises (September 1953) became an important, turning point event in the life of the institute, to a certain extent its second birth. Students who entered the institute in 1954 began studying in the new premises. It was their graduation in 1959 that gave the most impressive results in the entire history of the institute: 7 doctors and 46 candidates of technical sciences. The works of some of them were awarded the State Prize (I. Dezhurny, A. Shutko), the Prize of the Council of Ministers of the USSR (A. Zhadan), and the Gold Medal of the USSR Exhibition of Economic Achievements (A. Kogut).

The Institute is rightfully proud of such graduates as Lenin Prize laureates A. A. Bolshoi, V. G. Popov, N. F. Lukonin, L. M. Kosoy, State Prize laureates S. M. Plakhotnik, V. I. Korol, V. N. Timofeev, A. I. Romanov.

In 1953, the correspondence faculty was created at the institute, in 1956 - the evening faculty, in 1962 - the Chisinau UCP, in 1967 the Kiev correspondence faculty, on the basis of which the Kiev Institute of Communications began to operate. Since 1965, the institute has had a specialized council for the defense of candidate dissertations in specialties of various scientific fields. In 1967, by a resolution of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, the institute was named after the inventor of radio A. S. Popov, and in 1980, for the successes achieved in the training of communications engineers and the development of scientific research, the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Ukrainian SSR awarded the institute with a Certificate of Honor.

In 1966-1981 The institute was headed by Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Boris Petrovich Kutasin. From 1981 to 2001 The institute, and then the academy, was headed by Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Ivan Pavlovich Panfilov. In 2001, the rector of ONAT named after. A.S. Popov, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Petr Petrovich Vorobienko was elected.

In 1993, the Odessa Electrotechnical Institute of Communications was renamed the Ukrainian State Academy of Communications. Taking into account the national and international recognition of the results of its activities and significant contribution to the development of national education, the Academy was given national status by Decree of the President of Ukraine dated August 7, 2001 No. 591, and it was renamed the Odessa National Academy of Communications named after. A.S. Popova.

The Academy has its own long-standing traditions, many years of experience and highly professional scientific and teaching staff, which allows it to train specialists in the field of telecommunications, information technology, and business at a high level. It maintains its position as a leading higher education institution in Ukraine in the field of training and advanced training of communications specialists of all specialties. Academy graduates prove themselves to be highly qualified specialists in the field of communications and information technology. Over 33,500 engineers working in all CIS countries, and over 900 in non-CIS countries, have been trained by ONAS over the many years of its existence.

The Academy includes: educational and scientific institutes of “Postal Communications” and “Economics and Management”; five faculties (information networks, telecommunication systems, radio communications, radio broadcasting and television, distance learning, advanced training); College of Communications and Informatization ONAS named after. A.S. Popov, training centers of leading industry operators in Ukraine (OJSC Ukrtelecom and CJSC Farlep); training, research and production centers in Dnepropetrovsk, Lvov, Kyiv, Zaporozhye, Khmelnitsky, Kotovsk, Donetsk, Vinnitsa, Crimea; research centers on the development of the communications industry, a telecommunications technology training center for training and advanced training of industry specialists, Cisco Systems Local Network Academy for the training of IT specialists, Research, Design and Technology Bureau of Line Cable Facilities with a certification and testing laboratory , six branches of departments (at the Odessa Cable Plant, RTPC, "Ukra-Erorukh" in Odessa, OJSC "Ukrtelecom" in Kiev, 2 branches of the Lviv Directorate of the UGPPS "Ukrposhta" in Lviv; three specialized councils for the defense of doctoral and candidate dissertations, including which includes 38 doctors of science.

Educational and scientific work at the Academy is provided and supported by highly qualified teachers and scientists. There are 347 teachers working at 26 departments, among them 13 academicians and corresponding members of international academies; 17 academicians of industry academies; 38 professors, doctors of science; 229 associate professors, candidates of sciences; 4 honored workers of higher education of Ukraine; 3 honored workers of science and technology, 6 laureates of State Prizes.

Considerable attention is paid to the formation of the scientific elite. The Academy has fruitful postgraduate studies (opened in 1962) and doctoral studies (opened in 1991), where they train highly qualified specialists in the field of telecommunications. There are eleven scientific schools in modern and promising areas of development of science and technology in the field of communications, which are headed by leading specialists of the academy, doctors and professors: Doctor of Technical Sciences. P. P. Vorobienko, Doctor of Technical Sciences N.V. Zakharchenko, prof. O. L. Ne-chiporuk, Doctor of Technical Sciences O. V. Gofaizen, Doctor of Technical Sciences L. E. Yashchuk, Doctor of Technical Sciences A. M. Ivanitsky, Doctor of Political Sciences A. A. Silenko, Doctor of Economics I. V. Pusenkova, Doctor of Philology O. P. Punchenko, Doctor of Economics A. S.

The school accepted boys and girls without distinction of nationality or religion. With the end of the civil war, the school was transformed into a German labor school. This school was closed in 1938. Over the years, L. D. Trotsky, P. P. Schmidt, V. P. Glushko, the sculptor Gorodetsky and many other people were educated in this real school, who subsequently glorified not only their names with outstanding deeds.

In 1918 in Odessa, a multidisciplinary Polytechnic Institute and soon a single-disciplinary university, the Higher Electrical Technical School, opens in the building and on the basis of the former Higher Courses for Telegraph Mechanics, which began to train electrical engineers, incl. signalmen. Production issues of communication technology began to be resolved at the Odessa State Radiotelegraph Plant (8 Sofievskaya St.), which was simultaneously organized on the basis of the radiotelegraph workshops of Professor R.V. Lvovich, the only one in post-revolutionary Russia.

A special vacuum laboratory “VAKAR” (vacuum artel) was organized at the plant. This was the second place after the Nizhny Novgorod radio laboratory where electronic (cathode) tubes were made - the pinnacle of technical progress of that time. Prominent specialists began their career here. Here are some of them: later State Prize winner Academician I.E. Tamm, professors B.F. Tsomakion and G.K. Serapin, pre-war Ch. engineers of the Svetlana plants - K. V. Stakhovsky, and "Electrolamp" - K. V. Romangok and others.

According to the education reform of 1929 The Higher Electrical Technical School became the electrical department of the Odessa Polytechnic Institute, and this was followed by the ensuing reform of 1930. the named faculty becomes the Odessa Institute of Communications Engineers, OIIS (hereinafter - OEIIS, OEIS, OEIS named after A. S. Popov, UGAS and, finally, ONAS of the same name). The educational and scientific activities of the team from the beginning of the twenties until the beginning of the Great Patriotic War were not interrupted, despite these reorganizations.
