The article offers a historical-legal analysis of the emergence of Moscow’s education system, tracing the path from early literacy and monastic schools to the university framework of the eighteenth century. Drawing on the operations of the Moscow Print Yard, Greek and Slavic-Greek-Latin schools, the Academic Privilege of 1682, and the Petrine reforms, the study elucidates the legal status of educational institutions, including elements of autonomy, state oversight, and the public interest. It argues that strengthening the legal regime of instruction and training served national security, economic development, and cultural sovereignty. The continuity of state education policy is emphasized as a stable foundation for the ongoing advancement of Russian education.
