In the period between 1803 and 1819 the University formally did not exist; the institution founded by Peter the Great - Saint Petersburg Academy - had already been disbanded, whereas the institution that was later used as basis for the Saint Petersburg University was still known as the MainPedagogicalInstitute (Главный Педагогический Институт).
There is some degree of continuity between the Academy, the PedagogicalInstitute and the University.
