MGUP is a new university in Russia
Where do Russian printers prepare? There was once the Moscow Polygraphic Institute for this, but now you can not find it in the list of Russian universities. Its place was taken by the Moscow State Academy of Press, but it is not on this list either. But since 1997 you will find in the list of Moscow higher educational institutions a new university – MGUP – Moscow State University of Press, established in January 1997 on the basis of the Moscow State Academy of Press. And this is not accidental. The new university is the only university in Russia that prepares specialists with higher professional education for publishing grandfather, printing and book trade. This is in the full sense of the university, within the walls of which receive training and “physics” and “lyrics”. And between them it is sometimes difficult to draw a line, since the work of the press is the realization of many creative talents of people of different specialties. The new university
At one time Vissarion Belinsky wrote that literature without printing “is a sound without meaning, a body without a soul”, understanding by literature the consciousness of the people, expressed in word.

The range of its impact, distribution and use is much wider. Suffice it to say that all our everyday life is connected with the seal: school books and advertising brochures, banknotes and tram tickets, maps and wallpapers, works of art and boxes for candy, postage stamps and labels on packaging, bottles for juices, and, sorry, alcoholic beverages. In other words, the seal is a reflection of our life. And do not believe the predictions of all kinds of pseudo-scholars about the death of the book. Just imagine for a moment that your computer does not have or the printer, the printing device, has broken down. And you will immediately understand that it is impossible to do without a press today, and always.
