History

On 25 July 1894, by decree of Emperor Alexander III, in commemoration of the marriage of Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna with Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich, the Kseniinsky Institute for Noble Maidens was established. The institute was created as a women's educational institution for the education and upbringing of orphans and half-orphans from noble families. The institute was part of the department of institutions of Empress Maria.[1][2][3]

The Kseniinsky Institute was given the

Nicholas II, who presented the temple in the name of the icon of the Mother of God “Joy of All Who Sorrow” with a sacristy from the cover on the coffin of his father Alexander III.[4][5][6]

In the Kseniinsky Institute, according to the Regulations approved by Emperor Alexander III, half-orphans and orphans of personal and hereditary nobles, headquarters and chief officers, generals and civil ranks who did not have the necessary funds to support their daughters were accepted at the expense of the treasury. Children of nobles (both hereditary and personal), who were not in the service, were accepted only as scholarships or for a fee. When entering the institute, it was necessary to be able to write and read in Russian, French and German, as well as to know the set of basic prayers. The Kseniinsky Institute was designed for three hundred and fifty pupils, in terms of its status it was lower than the Smolny Institute of Noble Maidens. The students of the institute included 175 paid boarders and 175 government boarders. Three hundred schoolgirls over ten years old were placed in the building of the institute, and fifty boarders aged eight to ten years old were placed in the juvenile department of the Nikolaev Orphan's Institute. The ten-year course of study at the institute included three professional and seven general classes. In the three professional classes, two departments were created: fine needlework and counters, clerks and accountants. The difference between the Ksenia Institute and other institutes for noble maidens was that the pupils of this institute were taught to do much of what was done by servants at other institutes: they sewed and mended linen, made their own beds and kept their shoes in order, and from among high school students kitchen and storeroom attendants were appointed.[1][2][3]

Since 1914, during the

First World War, the number of pupils was three hundred and eight pupils, in 1915 - three hundred and forty-four pupils, in 1916 - three hundred and forty-eight pupils. On 4 March 1918, the last graduation of the Ksenia Institute took place and the remaining boarders were transferred to the building of the Nikolaev Orphan Institute. After the October Revolution, by the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR, the building of the Ksenin Institute was given to trade union organizations and received the name "Palace of Labor".[4][1][2][3]
