It is not a coincidence that Novgorod University has Prince Yaroslav’s name. In the year of 1030, Yaroslav the Wise came to Novgorod the Great to teach reading and writing to the children of religious and senior officials. It is a well-known fact that education was of vital importance in the Novgorod system of spiritual values in the 11th century. Indeed, the existence of schools in medieval Novgorod can be traced in birch bark letters and chronicles. As time passed, not only were schools established but also theological seminaries, gymnasiums, and libraries. That is why Academician Yanin, the famous investigator of ancient Novgorod called it “the cradle of Russian education”. Thus, the Yaroslav-the-Wise Novgorod State University became the successor to what was considered one of the oldest educational traditions in Russia. On the eve of the university’s first anniversary, Prince Yaroslav the Wise’s personal seal was discovered during some archaeological excavations. Academician Yanin considered it a remarkable coincidence and suggested awarding the university the name of the Russian prince.
