Based on the analysis of archival materials, documents of state institutions and periodicals of the early 20th century, the key stages of the formation of higher education in the Don Host Region are studied. Particular attention is paid to the process of transformation of the evacuated Warsaw University into the Don University as an example of successful adaptation of an academic institution in new socio-political conditions. The study demonstrates how regional initiatives, demonstrated in a critical historical period, laid the foundations of one of the leading scientific and educational centers of the South of Russia.
