N2 - Study of Mongolian literature at St.- Petersburg University began in the 19th century. In 1855, as part of the reorganization of Oriental studies in Russia, Faculty of Oriental Languages was transferred from Kazan to St.- Petersburg. A.M. Pozdneev (1851-1920) was the first to systematically study Mongolian literature at the department. Academician B.Ya. Vladimirtsov (1884-1931) significantly developed and deepened research in the field of Mongolian literature. For the first time in the history of world Mongolian studies, he wrote a review article, analyzing the outstanding monuments of medieval Mongolian literature, and not just written monuments, as A.M. Pozdneev did in his lectures. An outstanding academician S.A. Kozin (1879-1956) made a huge contribution to the study of Mongolian literature. He left fundamental works on the main historical and epic written monuments of the Mongolian-speaking peoples after himself. From 1937 to 1976 T.A. Burdukova (1912-1987) taught at the Department of Mongolian Philology. The daughter of the outstanding Mongolian scholar A.V. Burdukov (1883-1943), she became a worthy successor to her father's work. In 1953, after completing her postgraduate studies at the Department of Mongolian Philology, L.K. Gerasimovich (1923-2015) began her teaching career. She worked at the Faculty of Asian and African Studies for 46 years until 1999. From 1973 to 1987, Lyudmila Konstantinovna headed the Department of Mongolian Philology. Professor Gerasimovich prepared and for many years taught the history of medieval, new and latest Mongolian literature, such as "History of Mongolian literature in the early 13 – 20th centuries." and "Mongolian Literature 1921-1990", as well as special courses "Creativity of the Modern Mongolian Writer Ts.Damdinsuren" and "Mongolian Poetics".In 1987, M.P. Petrova (born 1964) was hired as an assistant at the Department of Mongolian Philology. In addition to courses on the history of Mongolian literature of the 20-21st centuries. M.P. Petrova prepared special courses: "Modern Mongolian Poetry" and "Postmodernism in Modern Mongolian Literature."For more than half a century of the existence of the Faculty of Asian and African Studies within the walls of St.- Petersburg University, the Department of Mongolian Philology / Mongolian Studies and Tibetology has developed a strong tradition of studying and teaching new and latest Mongolian literature. And today we can talk about the presence at St.- Petersburg State University of its own scientific school of research into the history of the development of literature of the Mongolian-speaking peoples of the world.
