Donetsk National Technical University (DonNTU, formerly Donetsk Polytechnic Institute and other names[2]) is the biggest and oldest higher education establishment in Donbas, founded in 1921. In its early years, it was attended by Nikita Khrushchev.
Following the loss of Ukrainian government control over Donetsk in 2014 during the war in Donbass, the University was evacuated to Pokrovsk.[3][4]
A small group of collaborationists among the faculty have claimed to continue to operate as the Donetsk National Technical University in the campus in Russian-occupied Donetsk, as a project aimed to legitimize the so-called Donetsk People's Republic,[5][6] however diplomas they issued weren't recognized even in Russia itself and local students were officially enrolled as correspondent students at minor provincial Russian universities. Following the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the university appears to have been discontinued.
On 28 February 2024, the university building in Pokrovsk was partially destroyed by Russian missile attack.[7]
Donetsk National Technical University (DonNTU) is the first higher education establishment in the Donbas Region and one of the first technical universities in Ukraine. 27,000 students study at 7[8] faculties, 60 specialities being their major. There are 28 correspondent members and academicians of the engineering academies, 18 honorary researchers and professors among the academics of the university. A number of scientists of DonNTU are honorary and full members of foreign organizations and academies. There are professors and students whose work was supported by the Soros Fund.
From 1987—1996, the university had a group known as the DPI team [ru] participating in the popular comedic game-show KVN. It contained a number of figures, made up of students who were studying at the university and would later become prominent within Ukrainian society, including Ismail Abdullaiev and Serhii Syvokho [uk].[9]
