It was opened on 2 March 1919, and its first rector was – the

Elite Status

The Financial University, and its predecessor the Moscow Finance Institute (MFI), holds a unique status among Russian universities. It has federal university status and is included among the privileged consultative bodies of the Russian government, alongside institutions such as MSU, HSE, RANEPA and SPbU. During the Soviet era, the Financial University maintained a restricted admission policy, primarily serving the Soviet elite. Admission was largely limited to individuals with high-level connections within the Communist Party and government structures. Some of its faculties, particularly the International Economic Relations Faculty (MEO), were regarded as equivalent to the Economic Faculty of

and trade missions. Western scholars have noted that, despite official state rhetoric denying elitism, Soviet higher education exhibited clear hierarchical stratification. Not all faculties of even prestigious institutions like MSU or SPbU were considered elite. While institutions such as Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), National Research Nuclear University (MEPhI), Bauman Moscow State Technical University (Baumanka), and the Mathematics and Physics faculties of MSU were among the most academically rigorous, they were not necessarily at the highest elite level in terms of social mobility and political access. Admission to these programs was exceptionally competitive, but even candidates (especially the Jewish ones) with outstanding academic records often faced insurmountable barriers without the right political or family background. In contrast, universities with strong ties to the
