'''Saint Petersburg State Institute of Technology (Technical University)''' ({{langx|ru|Санкт-Петербургский Государственный Технологический Институт (Технический Университет)}}) was founded in 1828. It is one of the oldest institutions of [[higher education]] in Russia, and currently trains around 5,000 students.
==History== In the past, the institute was named ''Imperial Petersburg Institute of Technology'' ({{langx|ru|Императорский Петербургский Технологический Институт}} and ''Lensoviet Leningrad Institute of Technology'' ({{langx|ru|Лениградский Технологический Институт имени Ленсовета}}), the institute's name changing with that of the city. During the Imperial period, unlike most other Russian universities, the institute did not require completion of [[Gymnasium (school)|gymnasium]] education as a condition of entry; the only requirement was to pass the institute's examination.
During the [[Russian Revolution of 1905]], the [[Saint Petersburg Soviet]] was established and met in the institute.
