History

MEPhI was founded during World War II in 1942 initially as Moscow Mechanical Institute of Ammunition by Stalin’s personal order. The main goal of its foundation was to collect brilliant minds together, train them and urgently start research in creation of nuclear weapon. Since the end of 50-th the main goal of Moscow Engineering Physics Institute is the people ware for developing of nuclear industry (research, engineering, technologies)

Outstanding Soviet physicists and the USSR Atom Project leaders participated in MEPhI development; 6 Nobel prize winners were among its staff
