Smolny Institute of Noble Maidens. Historical reference
There is an old legend. According to him, the empress planned to move to a quiet monastery at the end of her life. Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli was appointed responsible for the creation of the project and construction of the building. The essence of the plan was to build a convent on the site where the country monastery was located. The foundation laying took place in the middle of the 18th century. The plan drawn up by the architect required a lot of expenses. At that time, the Seven Years' War began, there were not enough funds to complete the construction. As a result, the monastery was never used for its intended purpose. Only in 1764 was the Smolny Institute opened. Architect V.P. Stasov continued to work on the cathedral.
Developments after the death of the Empress
In subsequent years, fate was in the hands of Catherine II. She decided to dispose of it in her own way. At that time in the Russian Empire there was not a single institution in which girls could study. Noble daughters were educated primarily at home. At the same time, girls from poor families did not study at all. For this reason, the Empress decided to open an Educational Society in the monastery. This is how Smolny began its existence. A special decree was issued on the opening of the institution. It stated that the building of the Smolny Institute would henceforth be used to ensure that women had the opportunity to receive an education. In the future, they could become exemplary mothers, useful members of the family and society.

History of the Smolny Institute
And the history of female education in Russia is inextricably linked with the name of Empress Catherine the Great. "Kultura.RF" tells how the institution of noble maidens appeared and how its emergence affected the lives of Russian women.
Educated women and useful members of society

European culture, which began to take hold in our country since the end of the 18th century, has introduced many innovations into the life of Russian people. Under Peter I, schools for girls began to appear. This was the first step for the development of women's education in Russia. But the real breakthrough in this area was the initiative of Catherine the Great, under which the noble maidens were founded in St. Petersburg. The first higher educational institution for women in Russia opened on May 16, 1764.
The creation of the institute was initiated by one of those close to the empress - Ivan Betskoy, a public figure, educator, and employee of the state chancellery. He was educated in Europe, supported Catherine in her desire to instill in her compatriots the habits of Western life, and also highly appreciated the role of women in the development of society. Betskoy believed that “young men of both sexes” should be raised in equal conditions.
When it was founded, the Smolny Institute was called the “Educational Society of Noble Maidens.” His idea was spelled out in an official document: “to give the state educated women, good mothers, useful members of the family and society.” Ekaterina herself actively participated in the life of the institution: she invested a huge amount of money, often came to the institute, where she had long conversations with classy ladies, talked with students and corresponded with managers, interested in all the successes and difficulties. The Empress wanted Smolny graduates to become an example for all women in the country. According to her plan, girls were to receive a good education and develop culturally and morally.
The Smolny Institute accepted girls from well-born but poor families. They came from both Russia and other countries - daughters of Georgian princes, aristocratic women from Sweden. The training lasted 12 years. During this time, the students could not leave the institution either at their own request or at the request of their guardians. Girls were accepted to Smolny from the age of six, and the training program included three classes - each of them lasted four years. Relatives of the pupils drew up a receipt in which they agreed to give the child away for 12 years without the possibility of meetings and trips outside the institution. So the Empress was going to protect her pupils from the influence of the environment in which they grew up before entering the institute.
Getting into Smolny was not easy: potential students had to pass exams in Russian and French, and also have a good religious upbringing. But the most important criterion by which many applicants were eliminated was origin.
“Do not make science subjects of boredom”

At Smolny, girls were taught many sciences. The schedule included arithmetic, literacy, three foreign languages, religious studies, etiquette, culinary arts, drawing, music, vocals, geography, history and other subjects. However, the girls studied many of them very superficially. For example, in cooking classes, students of the Smolny Institute learned to fry cutlets from ready-made minced meat. History was studied from one single textbook and often skipped over topics.
The main emphasis in studies was on the rules of behavior in society and the word of God. It was believed that a student of this institution, that is, a future maid of honor or a young lady serving at court, should be able to support a conversation about religion and behave in society with restraint and grace.

Attention was also paid to the physical condition of the girls. They did light sports exercises several times a week. The diet helped to maintain a slim figure: the food was meager, and sometimes simply of poor quality. Many graduates wrote in their memoirs that food at the institute was one of their worst memories.
The temperature in the students' bedrooms did not rise above 16 degrees. They went to bed and got up early, slept on hard beds, and washed their faces with ice-cold water from the Neva. All this was supposed to toughen the girls.

“The charter urgently required that children always look cheerful, cheerful, contented and “free actions of the soul.” Therefore, it was prescribed not to make science subjects of boredom, grief and disgust and to facilitate the acquisition of knowledge by all means, while paying attention to the degree of development and abilities of each girl individually.”
Rules of conduct for noble maidens

The rules of behavior were spelled out in detail in the charter of the Institute of Noble Maidens. They talked about how teachers should treat Smolensk students and how students should communicate with each other.
More than 20 teachers worked at the institute - these were highly qualified teachers. It is noteworthy that they were all unmarried ladies and, as a rule, over 40 years old. Corporal punishment at the Smolny Institute was strictly prohibited, but teachers did not hesitate to shout at guilty pupils. Disturbing order at the institute was considered “bad behavior,” and naughty girls were called “mauvaise” (“bad”). There was another term - “parettes” (a distorted French “parfaite” - perfect). This is how they teased students who never broke the rules and behaved perfectly.
All Smolyans were supposed to be examples of modesty. They wore the same clothes and hairstyles - smoothly combed braids. Uniform dresses were of different colors, and the approximate age of the student was easily determined from them. The smallest girls wore coffee-colored dresses, so they were called “coffee girls,” girls from 9 to 12 years old wore blue, from 12 to 15 years old wore blue, and the oldest girls wore white. No fashion accessories were allowed. All this was due to the general atmosphere in the institution, where simplicity and monotony reigned, and discipline and order were valued above all else.
Despite strict rules and the inability to see family, the girls were not kept locked up all year round. They were taken to theatrical performances, art exhibitions, and celebrations at court. Smolyankas were taught to love beauty and understand the cultural innovations of that time.

Employment after graduating from Smolny was practically guaranteed. Many girls remained at the Institute of Noble Maidens after their studies and worked either as teachers or class ladies. For many years of work, they were awarded honorary badges: an orange bow “For their labors” and a silver with enamel “Badge of the Institutions of the Department of Maria Feodorovna.” Some students of the Smolny Institute could become governesses after graduation.
The Smolny Institute existed for more than a century and a half. During this time there were 85 issues. Many of the Smolyans became famous. Shortly before the closure of the institute, Maxim Gorky's lover, Maria Budberg, entered there. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Nina Habias graduated from the institute, who later became a futurist poet. In 1900, Maria Dobrolyubova, a poet and revolutionary, sister of the poet Alexander Dobrolyubov, graduated.
The Institute of Noble Maidens was a big step in the development of women's education in Russia. Based on this institute, other educational institutions for women began to appear throughout the country.
