        Following the Decree of the RSFSR President "On the Most Valuable Objects of National Heritage of Russia" of December 18, 1991, No.294, the Decree of the President of the Russian federation "On the Most Valuable Objects of Cultural Heritage of the Peoples of Russia" of November 30, 1992, No.1487, the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation "On the Most Valuable Objects of Cultural Heritage of the Peoples of Russia" of November 30, 1992, No.919, and the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation "Issues Concerning Activity of the Most Valuable Objects of Cultural Heritage of the Peoples of Russia" dated July 17, 1995, No.719, Saint-Petersburg State University is considered as a particularly valuable object of cultural heritage of the peoples of Russia, is rated as an institution of the highest record and protection category and is provided with special forms of state support.
        The Federal State Institution of Higher Professional Education "Saint-Petersburg State University" (hereinafter - the University) was founded by the Russian Federation represented by its Government.  The powers of the founder, except for those relating to reorganisation and liquidation of the University pertaining to the competence of the Government of the Russian Federation, are exercised on behalf of the Russian Federation by the Federal Education Agency responsible for administering the University.
        Following the Order of the Government of the Russian Federation of March 9, 2006, No.306-r, the University was reorganised through the accession of the Research Institute “Russian Centre for Laser Physics”, the State Institution “Competition Centre of Fundamental Natural Science” and the State Institution “Centre for Integration of Education of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation”.
