==History==
===Soviet period=== Chechen State University, formerly '''Grozny University''' and '''Chechen-Ingush State University''', saw a surge of development between 1970 and 1980.
===After the Chechen War=== Military activity in the Chechen Republic during the Second Chechen War interrupted the development of Grozny University and destroyed several buildings. The university began restoration soon after the end of military operations and classes resumed in April 2000.
Over 800 instructors currently work at the school's campus. Chechen State University is a scientific and educational centre for the Chechen Republic.
