History

Soviet period

After the Chechen War

Military activity in the Chechen Republic during the Second Chechen War interrupted the development of Grozny University and destroyed several buildings. The university began restoration soon after the end of military operations and classes resumed in April 2000. Over 800 instructors currently work at the school's campus. Chechen State University is a scientific and educational centre for the Chechen Republic.
