History of the Department
The training of teachers of Russian language and literature at Bukhara State University (formerly Bukhara State Pedagogical Institute) began in 1935. In 1945, the Department of Russian Language and Literature began operating within the Faculty of History and Philology. In the same year, a unified Department of Russian Language and Literature was established.
In 1949, the Department was divided into two separate departments: the Department of Russian Language and the Department of Russian and Foreign Literature.
In 1967, as a result of reorganisation, the Department of Russian Language was divided into three departments:
01. Russian Linguistics
02. Methods of Teaching Russian Language and Literature
03. Interfaculty Department of Russian Language
In 1999, following a reduction in student enrolment and consequently in teaching hours, the Departments of Russian Linguistics and World (Russian and Foreign) Literature were merged. Since then, it has been known as the Department of Russian Philology. In 2007, the Interfaculty Department of Russian Language was incorporated into it.
The Department has been headed over the years by:
Prof. M.O. Etkin, Prof. M.A. Zhovto-bryukh, Prof. S.S. Slobodinsky, Prof. N.T. Pak, Prof. N.B. Bayburina, Prof. L.P. Grekhova, Prof. L.I. Savchenko, Prof. K.R. Babaev, Prof. F.I. Nasyrova, Prof. B.Ya. Akhmedov, Prof. M.R. Saidova, Prof. V.A. Kiseleva, L.V. Abdullaeva, Prof. N.A. Zhadanova, L.V. Mavrina, Z.Sh. Khasanova, Prof. Z.R. Dzhuraeva, Prof. Yu.L. Khon, Assoc. Prof. A.B. Sariev, Assoc. Prof. O.T. Nosirov and Prof. L.Kh. Nigmatova.
