VLADIMIRSKIE COURSES (St. Petersburg University public courses), an educational institution, founded in 1870 by a group of female education activists, who later established Bestuzhev Courses. Until 1874, they were co-educational courses with over 900 students, then only female courses. Professors of St. Petersburg University lectured there on Russian literature, Russian and world history, botany, anatomy, human physiology, physics, chemistry, public law and criminal law, statistics and political economy. Vladimirskie Courses moved several times, working in the premises of Vladimirsky district school [21 Vladimirsky Avenue; not preserved (hence the name)]. Courses were closed down in 1875 because of financial difficulties. Alarchinskie courses functioned concurrently with Vladimirskie Courses.
