While the city authorities were busy moving the residents to the surviving houses, Mikhelson invited the Kazan residents to his camp to sort out the loot taken from the rebels and to distribute it according to their belongings. Here many who were previously wealthy people became poor, and some of the poor turned out to be wealthy; this is understandable: where there was time to properly divide and sort out everything that had been taken from the rebels.
Quite a bit of time passed before Kazan completely recovered from Pugachev’s invasion, but this was the last pogrom it suffered.
Since the beginning of the current century, a new feature has begun to appear in the existence of Kazan: the government is clearly striving to make it the center of intellectual life in the Volga region.

Emperor's University,
Justice requires saying that the opening of the university met with very little sympathy among Kazan residents. G. Ponomarev says that this “university that fell from the sky” did not even find a sufficient number of students in the first years; so, for example, at first there were only 88 people and only by the end of the first year 8 more were added. About the situation of the first professors, which was truly intolerable, Professor Fuchs wrote the following: “although ordinary professors are considered a class in the UP, we were forbidden to even register in this class.

com with me; The governor, receiving me, never sat me down and never invited me to his place for lunch or an evening." *) At the same time, it should be noted that Fuchs was one of the best professors - a talented man, passionately devoted to science, who was able to make her fall in love with almost all of his listeners. As a person who occupied an honorable place in history Prosperous region, Mr. Ponomarev even calls him “the best of Kazan residents.”
When the government invited people to donate to the university, Kazan residents responded with the most stubborn silence. The then Duma, making excuses for the lack of free environments, reacted with extreme insensitivity even to the opening of new lower schools; since society considered education in general, and university education in particular, to be a completely idle and unnecessary luxury. In view of all this, the general picture of the history of the development of school affairs in Kazan for

The best example is. The above can be illustrated by the history of two. Kazan parish schools, the question of which arose immediately after the founding of the university. For almost a quarter of a century, these schools could not open, so finally, in 1828, the governor of Kazan made a categorical instillation of thoughts on this subject; Only then did the Duma allow itself to be convinced of the need to open a school and announced a subscription for it, and the wealthy Kazan merchants, who were already handling enormous sums at that time, subscribed for 1082 rubles. 20 kopecks, part of which had to be collected through the police. Be that as it may, in 1880 2 parishes were opened

In 1846, a theological academy was opened in Kazan; It was she who was granted the rich library of the Solovetsky Monastery, transported from there during the Crimean War, when danger arose for the monastery and it was bombed by the British. In addition to its urgent appointment to be the highest theological school, the Kazan Theological Academy has always worked actively in the field of missionary work: it waged and continues to fight against schismatics through the printed word and through public competitions with the leaders of the schism, and also put a lot of work and care into the spread of Orthodoxy among the foreigners of the region. Since 1855, the publication of “Pra-”) began under the academy.
