History edit

The history of the university began on 27 May 1779 when a Decree of the Governing Senate established a land survey school. The school was founded by Sergey Ivanovich Rozhnov. In 1819, the land survey school was renamed the Konstantinovoye Land Survey School, and in 1835 it was renamed again as the Constantine Land Institute. In 1849 the Konstantinovsky land surveying institute received the right of a first-rate university and was transferred to the position of a military institution that existed before 1867. During the period from 1835 to 1917, the Institute trained more than 2,000 specialists, including approximately 1,500 surveying engineers. In 1945 the Moscow Land Management Institute was renamed the Moscow Institute of Land Use Engineers (MIIS).
