## History

In 1885, the Alexander Commercial School of the Moscow Exchange Society was founded. Together with the Nikolayev Women's Commercial School and the Trading School named after Emperor Nicholas II in 1918, it laid the foundation for a new educational institution - the Moscow Industrial and Economic Practical College.
On April 30, 1919, by the decision of the People's Commissariat of Trade and Industry of the RSFSR, the Moscow Industrial and Economic College was transformed into the Moscow Industrial and Economic Practical Institute. The university was designed to train economists for industry and consumer cooperation, financiers, and economics and labor organization specialists.
On July 23, 1930, by a decree of the Central Executive Committee and the Council of People's Commissars of the Soviet Union, the Moscow Industrial and Economic Practical Institute was transformed into the Moscow Engineering and Economic Institute (MIEI). The institute's main task was training engineers-economists of a wide profile for the most important sectors of the national economy: mechanical engineering, chemistry, metallurgy, energy, construction, transport, urban economy, etc.
In 1950, the Moscow Engineering and Economic Institute was headed by Olimpiada Kozlova, with whose efforts the construction of a new complex of buildings of the Moscow Institute of Power Engineering on Ryazansky Prospekt began. On December 19, 1969, by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, MIEI was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor.
