Аннотация:This paper examines the history of the making of Cherkas Global University in the period 1992-2014.It shares the findings from an analysis of materials from the Vestnik Leib-Gvardii ('The Bulletin of the Leib Guard') newspaper reflecting the historical enlightenment and pedagogical activity of the university's founder published in the 1990s.A significant source used in putting this work together was Vestnik Leib-Gvardii's issues spanning 1992-1997, which contain information on the organization and conduct of classes across the academic disciplines taught to the student body.Another important source used was relevant materials of private origin, more specifically an interview with Professor Aleksandr Arvelodovich Cherkasov, the university's founder.In terms of methodology, use was made of the chronological method, which helped examine the study's topic in chronological sequence and reconstruct a coherent picture of the steps taken in educating youth and organizing historical-enlightenment activity.In addition, the content-analysis method was used to explore, inter alia, relevant materials from the periodical press.
