Jewish People's University – unofficial semi-underground mathematical courses in Moscow in 1978–1982.
[1][2][3] The idea of creating a People's University came about by interviewing applicants MSU Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics (Mekhmat) who did not pass the selection committee, primarily due to their Jewish origin[1][2][3][4] ,[5] from mathematicians Bella Subbotovskaya and Valery Senderov.
The first stream was recruited in 1978 directly at Moscow State University and amounted to 14 people.
[1][2] This is due to both the very high level of difficulty of the material taught and the fact that students were forced to study at other institutes at the same time and not everyone could withstand this pace.
A. Subbotovskaya died tragically (was hit by a truck under strange circumstances that did not exclude the version of murder).
