The Faculty of Foreign Languages was founded at Moscow State University in 1988. As compared with other departments of the University, it is still very young. However, the notable creative achievements of its professors and instructors, the high level of students' and postgraduates' grounding allow me to say with confidence that the Faculty of Foreign Languages has been a success and is a worthy member in the large family of the faculties of Moscow State University.
