Far Eastern National University (Russian: Дальневосто́чный госуда́рственный университе́т) is considered to be one of the top Russian universities[citation needed]. It is located in Vladivostok, Russia. Established in 1899, the university was closed in the late 1930s under Joseph Stalin, and reopened in 1956, two years after Nikita Khrushchev visited Vladivostok.
Formerly named Far Eastern State University, the university changed its English name in 2000 (the name in Russian remained unchanged). References to the university under its old name are common.
The university offers several programs to foreigners wishing to visit and learn Russian language and literature. It also opened branch programs in Japan and Taiwan.
