Date of issue: 05 JUL 1994

The Smolny Institute, built by architect Giacomo Quarenghi in 1806-1808, was Russia's first institution of secondary education for noblemen's daughters (aged 6 to 18). A privileged establishment, it was founded in St. Petersburg under the name of the Instructional Society of Girls of Noble Birth and opened under the auspices of the Resurrection Smolny Nunnery (built in the XVIIth century by architect Varfolomei Rastrelli and completed in the XXth century by architect Vasily Stasov).
