Abstract
The authors in their article determine the role and place of the Timiryazev Academy in the broader system of Soviet science and education. The source base of the study is materials from Russian archives and personal files of the Academy employees from the funds of the Museum of History of the Academy. The study is based on historical-chronological, source, and biographical methodology. The authors analyze the history of the Timiryazev Academy activity, demonstrating its successes, achievements, as well as problems and difficulties that arose from the point of view of fulfilling the state tasks for the training of qualified personnel for the agricultural sector of the economy and the formation and development of agricultural science in the USSR. This approach demonstrates the capabilities of agricultural universities and showing their effectiveness. The result of the study is the creation of the periodization of the history of the Soviet-era Timiryazev Academy, the wording of the names of each period: early Soviet, reorganization, military, restoration and virgin lands, and stabilization.
