While the history of the Moscow State University traces back to the eighteenth century, the Peoples\u0026rsquo; Friendship University was founded in 1960 and later renamed after Patrice Lumumba following the assassination of the Congolese independence leader in 1961. The history and the success of one of the most significant ventures in international higher education during the Cold War remains controversial. The University was praised for its educational accomplishments and was considered as an epitome of solidarity and internationalism by its proponents, and denounced as a communist institution for spy recruitment by its opponents, despite the fact that courses in Marxism-Leninism were optional. The very concept of a university established especially to provide education for students from \u0026#39;Third World\u0026#39; countries was also questioned by the very governments of the countries it was aimed at. The reactions either condemned the concept for its segregationist approach (no Soviet students attended), or to the contrary, commended for the mixture of its student body, revealing some cultural and racial hierarchies, which existed between the so-called \u0026#39;Third World\u0026#39; countries.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eDit boekje geeft een verslag van twee Moskouse universiteiten. De geschiedenis van de Staatsuniversiteit van Moskou gaat terug op de achttiende eeuw, terwijl de Peoples\u0026#39; Friendship University pas werd opgericht in 1960. Na de moord op Patrice Lumumba in 1961 op, werd ze hernoemd naar de Congolese onafhankelijkheidsleider. De geschiedenis van wat tijdens de Koude Oorlog een van de belangrijkste universiteiten was, blijft controversieel, inclusief de successen waar men prat op ging. De universiteit werd geprezen voor haar educatieve prestaties en werd door haar voorstanders beschouwd als een toonbeeld van solidariteit en internationalisme, maar door haar tegenstanders aan de kaak gesteld als een communistische instelling voor het rekruteren van spionnen (hoewel de cursussen marxisme-leninisme optioneel waren). Het hele concept van een universiteit die speciaal werd opgericht om onderwijs te bieden aan studenten uit derdewereldlanden werd in vraag gesteld door de regeringen z\u0026eacute;lf van de landen waar ze zich op richtte. Nog een verschil in reactie: de enen veroordeelden het concept vanwege de segregationistische benadering (er waren geen Sovjetstudenten); de anderen prezen de mix van studenten. Het toont de verschillen tussen de zogenaamde derdewereldlanden op cultureel en raciaal vlak.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[]}
