In 1918 the Geological-Exploration department inside the Mining Faculty was organized for the training of geologists. The founder of the geological school in the Institute was Nikolay Lebedev (1863-1931), who worked here for 30 years (from 1901), and in 1908-1919 and 1921-1924 was a rector of the Institute. Under his leadership, the first geological departments were created, and his disciples trained specialists in geology.
