Opening of the first lyceum in Russia
The first lyceum in Russia opened in 1811. This happened in Tsarskoye Selo on October 19 (31 according to the new style). The order for its foundation was signed by Alexander I on the urgent advice of M. M. Speransky, who was the teacher of the emperor’s children. It was created for the younger brothers of the Tsar and the children of the upper classes of Russia. The purpose of opening the lyceum was to train high-class officials.
Before the revolution, 7 lyceums operated on the territory of Tsarist Russia. The education received there was equivalent to the higher education provided at universities. They accepted the children of nobles and high-ranking dignitaries. The opening of the Lyceum in Tsarskoe Selo was undoubtedly a great event for that time, since it subsequently produced a large number of graduates who became the pride of Russia.
First holiday
The Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum is forever intertwined with the name of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. Friends from the lyceum decided to meet here on the day of its foundation. The first “Lyceum Lunch” took place exactly a year after the first graduation.
Initially, these were meetings of former lyceum students, to which Pushkin brought his new poems dedicated to his alma mater. These are “Separation”, “October 19”, “Elegy”, etc. Gradually, annual meetings became a tradition. Subsequently, this day will be celebrated in all lyceums in Russia.
Alexandrovsky Lyceum
The first lyceum existed for 32 years, after which it was transferred to St. Petersburg and received the name Alexandrovsky. But despite the fact that this educational institution had a different name and was located in the city, all traditions were preserved.
Its teachers and students considered their lyceum to be the successor to Tsarskoye Selo. Here, too, on October 19, Lyceum Day was celebrated, and the birthday and death day of A.S. Pushkin were celebrated. The Lyceum was closed in 1918, and the Proletarian Polytechnic School was located in its building.
