The history of Vasyl` Stus Donetsk National University is 80 years old. During this time, from a small pedagogical institute, in which only 138 students studied on the two faculties, he turned into a modern educational and innovation center, an open academic community, university family and space that provides opportunities for living, working, studying, self-realization.
The first graduation of the Stalin Pedagogical Institute took place in 1941. The Second World War interrupted the educational process, and on October 9, 1941, a decision was made to evacuate the Institute to the city of Kungur, the Molotov region (now - the Perm region, the Russian Federation). After the liberation of Stalino on September 8, 1943, the Pedagogical Institute returned home.
Ukrainian independence had an influence on the progress of the Donetsk State University. In 1990 on the base of Donetsk State University the first Ukrainian-language lyceum for senior pupils with in-depth study of disciplines in seven directions was opened.
Donetsk National University was the first who signed the Great Charter of Universities and who joined the Bologna Process in 2004.
In 2014 DonNU was at the epicenter of the events that unfolded in the Donbass because of Russian military aggression. In July 2014, militants of Russian-terrorist groups captured dormitories at the student campus of the DonNU, and later, on September 16, 2014, they captured the administrative buildings of the University. The staff and students, who did not consider the possibility of cooperation with the invaders within the framework of the so-called DPR, have created a public movement "Save Alma Mater!". As a result of meetings near the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine on September 30, 2014, the Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine No. 1084 "On the organization of the educational process of the Donetsk National University of Ukraine in Vinnytsia" appeared.
This is how the new history of the University in the exile began. On November 3, 2014 DonNU started the 2014-2015 academic year on the Podillya land. In the exile DonNU celebrated the 50th anniversary of the transformation from the Pedagogical Institute into a State University, and on May 2017 - 80 years from the day of its foundation.
In 2016, at the initiative of the DonNU graduates, the discussion on the issue of the naming university with the name of one of its most famous graduates, Vinnytsia and Donetsk citizen, the poet, human rights activist, political prisoner, Hero of Ukraine Vasyl` Stus (1938-1985), was renewed. On June 10, 2016 the conference of the Donetsk National University"s labor collective voted "for" renaming the University by a majority of votes. On September 21, 2016, the Statute of the Vasyl` Stus Donetsk National University was approved by the Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine No. 1126.
