The article traces the history of the interuniversity scientific publication “Izvestia of higher educational institutions. Gorny Zhurnal ”, soon after its foundation, became the leading theoretical journal on the problems of mining science in the country and was regularly distributed abroad. The article also tells about all the chief editors of Izvestia VUZ. Mining Journal ". In addition, the uniqueness of the publication, which was distributed in more than 40 countries of the world, as well as the renewal under its auspices of the release of the domestic magazine "Ural Mountain Review", published since 1897. At the end of the article, the current state of the journal is described.

Series "Izvestiya Vuzov". The most famous series of scientific journals of the Soviet Union - "Izvestiya Vysshikh Educational Institutions" (abbreviated: "Izvestiya Vuzov") - was initiated at a meeting of heads of higher educational institutions subordinated to the USSR Ministry of Higher Education, which took place in Moscow from 18 to 21 February 1957. [1]. By the way, it was a time of changes in the country: a year earlier, in February 1956, the famous XX Party Congress took place, at which the First Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev read out a report on the personality cult of Stalin. This historical period in the country is commonly called the “Khrushchev Thaw,” and it was marked by many changes in various fields, including in higher education, where modern scientific journals focused on the international level began to be created. In addition to the "Izvestiya Vuzov" series, at the same landmark meeting, another series was created - "Scientific reports of higher education" - on 13 branches of knowledge.
Izvestiya Vuzov was immediately created as a series of interuniversity publications in various fields of science and technology (of which there were at first two dozen), and later it only expanded. The publication of scientific journals included in this series was entrusted to specialized universities throughout the country, and in 1957-1958. scientific journals of the series began to appear on a regular basis.

“Izvestiya vuzov. Mining Journal ". So, at a meeting of heads of universities in 1957, two series of scientific publications were created: Izvestiya Vuzov and Scientific Reports of Higher Education. On the subject of mining sciences, two leading educational institutions were entrusted with publishing journals: the Moscow Mining Institute (now part of the National Research Technological University "MISiS") - the journal Scientific Reports of Higher Education. Mining "and the Sverdlovsk Mining Institute (now USMU - Ural State Mining University) -" Izvestiya Vuzov. Mining Journal ”, the first issue of which was published in January 1958. However, already in 1959, both publications were united under the cover of Izvestiya Vuzov. Mining Journal ”, with its editorial office in Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg), which thus became the main periodical publication of mining and mining and metallurgical universities, as well as mining faculties of polytechnic institutes throughout the country. |
Editorial board and editorial board. Chief editors of the journal:
