Abstract
In 1922, a first-ever stationary general geographical field training for students of the Moscow University was held in the Moscow region. The paper is inspired by a hundred-year-old publication by a trainee, then student B. Shustov, which describes the reasons for organizing the students’ fieldwork at the geographical station in the Vereya district of Moscow Governorate, the place and the format of training, and the research program including mainly meteorological, geomorphologic, geodetic and biogeographic components. Due to various circumstances, the first experience of stationary training in the Moscow region went to nowhere. Later, there were further attempts to arrange a permanent base for training, but they became successful only after almost a quarter of a century. At the same time, the first experience of such training formed some initial principles for conducting general geographical research for educational and practical purposes in the Moscow area. The article also provides information about the author of the publication, B.S. Shustov, who after graduating from the university was for a decade and a half actively engaged in scientific and teaching activities at the Research Institute of Geography and at the geographical department (later – the faculty) of the Moscow State University, and then in the Ryazan oblast.
