Far Eastern Federal University (Russian: Дальневосто́чный федера́льный университе́т, Dalnevostochny federalny universitet) is an institution of higher education located in Vladivostok, Russia. Established in 1899, the university was closed in the late 1930s under Joseph Stalin, and reopened in 1956, two years after Nikita Khrushchev visited Vladivostok. Formerly named Far Eastern State University, the university officially changed its English name in 2000 (the name in Russian remained unchanged) into Far Eastern National University. References to the university under its old name are common.
In 2010, the university grew after merging with the Far Eastern State Technical University (FESTU), Pacific State University of Economics (TSUE) and the Ussuriisk State Pedagogical Institute (USPI). A new campus on the Russky Island south of Vladivostok opened to students in fall of 2013, after its buildings hosted the 2012 APEC summit.
