==History==
==History==
The history of the Lviv Polytechnic National University begins during the [[Austrian Empire]], and extends through the [[Second Polish Republic]], the [[Nazi Germany|Nazi German]] Occupation, the [[Soviet Union]], and into independent [[Ukraine]].
Деревня была основана первым Хокаге - Хаширамой Сенджу и его другом Учиха Мадарой в Стране Огня примерно за 70 лет до начала событий сериала, после того, как лидеры обоих кланов решили прекратить вековую вражду. После конфликта с Хаширамой, Мадара покинул деревню и некоторое время жил в изгнании, но вскоре вернулся с подчиненным ему Девятихвостым Демоном-Лисом, а затем начал было громить деревню, но вмешавшийся Хаширама вступил в бой с Мадарой и увел его подальше от деревни в Долину Завершения, где якобы убил Легендарного Учиху. Младший брат первого Хокаге, Тобирама Сенджу после весьма разрушительного боя между Хаширамой и Мадарой практически заново отстраивал деревню, а через несколько лет получил титул Второго Хокаге, и после нескольких лет правления избрал своим преемником Хирузена Сарутоби, назначив его Третьим Хокаге, который, в свою очередь, через несколько десятков лет правления избрал следующим, Четвертым Хокаге Минато Намиказе.


On 7 March 1816, the Imperial-Royal Real School was opened in Lemberg (Lviv). A technical school was established with the help of the newly introduced local industrial tax. In the curricula of the Imperial-Royal School, the main focus was assigned to the subjects of the natural-mathematical cycle, drawing, drawing and the study of new modern languages. The educational process was based on German educational programs that were adapted to local requirements. The newly created School was housed in a beautiful building at number 20 on the then-current Piekarska Street (now Virmenska).
Через несколько лет после начала правления Минато, некий Тоби, используя шаринган, подчинил себе и натравил на деревню Девятихвостого Демона-Лиса. Жертвуя своей жизнью, четвертый Хокаге запечатал светлую сторону Курамы в своего новорожденного сына Наруто Узумаки, а темную - в себе.


In 1825, according to the Royal Decree of the Austrian [[Franz Joseph I of Austria|Emperor Franz I]], the three-level Imperial-Royal Real School was reorganised into the Imperial-Royal School of Technical Sciences and Trade in Lviv.
После смерти Четвертого, Хирузен снова стал Хокаге, но лишь до тех пор, пока на деревню не напал Орочимару. В этой короткой битве, в которой участвовала и деревня Деревня Скрытого Песка и Звука, Сарутоби погиб после того, как запечатал руки Орочимару.


In 1835, the School of Technical Sciences and Trade turned into the Imperial-Royal Real-Trade Academy in Lviv. Here in 1841 the technical faculty was opened.
После похорон Хирузена начались поиски подходящего человека на титул Пятого Хокаге. Первым претендентом был Джирайя, но он тут же открестился от такого "счастья", предложив на этот пост свою бывшую сокомандницу Цунаде, которая в то время разъезжала по миру, напиваясь в кабаках и играя в свои любимые азартные игры, хотя обычно она проигрывала. Конечно же, она послала отправившихся за ней Джирайю и Наруто "гулять лесом", но после череды нескольких важных событий она изменила свое решение и всё же согласилась стать первой Хокаге женского пола.


In 1844, in the house of Darowski, on the present Armenian street, 2, the Imperial-Royal Technical Academy was opened in Lviv with technical and trade departments (faculties). It was one of the first academic technical schools in Europe and the first in Ukraine. In 1877, at the start of a new academic year, under the leadership of the new rector [[Julian Zachariewicz]], construction began of a new building to the academy (in the present [[Stepan Bandera street]]). Julian Zachariewicz was also an accomplished architect, and designed this building, based on the 1820s Technical University in Vienna, and the chemical laboratory.
Первые Три Мировые Войны
В какой-то момент Хаширама пришел, чтобы связать большинство хвостатых зверей и отдать их в другие деревни во время Первой мировой войны Шиноби, чтобы способствовать миру и спокойствию. Однако этот мир был недолгим. Хаширама умер во время войны, вскоре после того, как деревня начала процветать, а мантия Хокаге была передана его брату Тобираме Сенджу, который стал вторым Хокаге. Тобираму позже убили Кинкаку во время той же войны, но назначили Хирузена Сарутоби Третьим Хокаге незадолго до его смерти. Годы спустя, во время Второй мировой войны Шиноби, Хирузен привел силы Конохи против Ива и Суны, используя Амегакуре в качестве своего поля битвы. Лидер Амегакуре, Ханзо, также много раз сражался с Конохой, и во время одного из этих сражений с учениками Хирузена дал Джирайе, Цунаде и Орочимару - титул Саннинов. Во время Третьей мировой войны Шиноби Коноха сражался с ниндзя Ивагакуре через Кусагакуре. Коноха была почти побеждена, но Минато Намиказе и его команда помогли вернуть войну в свою пользу.


At the same time, the academy was renamed ''Polytechnic School'' and included in the academic schools of the [[Austria-Hungary|Austro-Hungarian Empire]] .
Атака Девятихвостого Демона-Лиса


On 10 July 1912, [[Marie Curie|Maria Sklodowska-Curie]] delivered a lecture at the Lviv Polytechnic School, and on the same day, she received the title of Honorary Doctor of Technical Sciences. Her name was commemorated on the honorary board of doctors honoris causa of Lviv Polytechnic.
Девятихвостый атакует Деревею Скрытого Листа


Since 1921 the institution has been called "Politechnika Lwowska", and since 1939 - Lviv Polytechnic Institute.
После окончания Третьей мировой войны Шиноби Хирузен выбрал Минато, чтобы заменить его на Четвертого Хокаге. Вскоре после того, как Минато занял свой пост, человек в маске извлек Девятихвостого из тела Кушины Узумаки, которого он затем использовал для нападения на Коноху. Минато смог победить человека, но Девятихвостого оказалось сложнее. Оставленный несколькими вариантами, Минато отдал свою жизнь, чтобы запечатать Девятихвостого в тело его новорожденного сына Наруто Узумаки. Многие ниндзя умерли, защищая деревню, и большинство выживших обвиняли Наруто в действиях Девятихвостого. Третий Хокаге Хирузен снова объявил вне закона все упоминания о Девятихвостом, чтобы будущие поколения не ненавидели Наруто, как их родители.


In June 1993, one year before the celebration of its 150th anniversary, the Lviv Polytechnic Institute received the highest - the fourth - the level of accreditation, the status of the university and the name of the ''State University "Lviv Polytechnic"'' . In 2000 the Polytechnic received the status of a national university.
Клан Хьюга

Хьюга (яп. 日向の件, Hyūga no Ken) — поскольку инцидент известен в настоящее время в Кумогакуре — произошло за девять лет до начала сериала, в то время как Кумогакуре и Конохагакуре были в состоянии войны. В попытке положить конец боевым действиям они договорились о подписании мирного договора на дату, которая совпала с третьим днем рождения Хинаты Хьюга. Договор вскоре был раскрыт, возможно, был не чем иным, как обложкой, когда тот, кто был главным ниндзя Кумогакуре в то время, который находился в Конохе, чтобы подписать договор, попытался похитить Хинату, чтобы получить Бьякуган и его тайны. Шиноби был убит отцом Хинаты, Хиаши Хьюга. После этого, Кумогакуре, возмутившись, что они "жестоко убили" их ниндзя, потребовали, чтобы в Хьюга умер человек, настолько же важный как и убитый. Тогда Хизаши Хьюга умер вместо Хиаши для премирения.

=== Austrian Empire ===
{{Prose|date=June 2011}}
In 1817, the [[Austrian Empire]] opened a secondary technical school in [[Lemberg]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.math.muni.cz/~sisma/English/enskoly.html|title=Technical Education in Europe}}</ref> divided into a technical school and a commercial school. However, the official change to a technical academy began in 1844, as noted in the following timeline:
* 4 November 1844: The school was upgraded to the Technical Academy Lemberg. Its first director was [[Austria]]n [[Florian Schindler]], former director of the Technical College in [[Brünn]] (Brno). The building was situated at the corner of Virmenska and Teatralna streets in the building of Darowski. The school had two departments – technical and commercial. Education lasted three years.
* 1 November 1848: During the [[Revolutions of 1848]], the town's center was shelled by the Austrian artillery of General [[:de:William Friedrich von Hammerstein|Wilhelm Hammerstein]].

* 1851: The number of students at the technical academy was 220, out of which 98 were Polish, 50 Jewish, 48 German, 19 Ukrainian/Ruthenian, 4 Czech and 2 Hungarian. In the same year, professor [[Wawrzyniec Zmurko]] (graduate of the Vienna Polytechnic) became director of the Department of Mathematics, as the first Pole in the history of the school. Zmurko is considered as founder of the [[Lwów School of Mathematics]].
* 1852/1853: The beginning of the academy reorganization, which was suggested by [[Josef Weiser]]. He wanted the academy to be modelled after Paris Polytechnic, with two-level education.
* 1857–1868: Rudolf Günsberg was the assistant of chemistry and the assistant professor of technological chemistry.
* 1870: A Decree of Emperor [[Franz Joseph I of Austria]] established Polish as the official language of the school. Most professors who were not proficient in Polish left the Polytechnic.
* 1872: The Ministry of Affairs of Religions and Education gave permission to teach chemical technologies. Rudolf Günsberg started as the full professor of applied chemistry.
* 12 March 1872: Professor of physics [[Feliks Strzelecki]] was elected as the first rector.

On the same day, consecration of newly constructed school's building took place, carried out by three Lvov's archbishops - Roman Catholic, Greek-Catholic and Armenian-Catholic and witnessed by Governor of Galicia, [[Alfred Potocki]].
* 1877: Technical academy was renamed to Polytechnical School (''Technische Hochschule''). However, the rector as well as other professors refrained from using a German-sounding name, and insisted on calling it in Polish ''Szkola Politechniczna''.
* 13 September 1880: Emperor Franz Joseph I visited the polytechnical school. During that visit he ordered [[Jan Matejko]] to depict the technical progress of mankind in 11 pictures. Now these pictures decorate the assembly hall. The Emperor signed a guest book in Polish; the book is now kept in [[Wrocław]].

Lviv Polytechnic National University (Ukrainian: Націона́льний університе́т «Льві́вська політе́хніка») is a public university in Lviv, Ukraine. It was founded in 1816.[2]

History

The history of the Lviv Polytechnic National University begins during the Austrian Empire, and extends through the Second Polish Republic, the Nazi German Occupation, the Soviet Union, and into independent Ukraine.

On 7 March 1816, the Imperial-Royal Real School was opened in Lemberg (Lviv). A technical school was established with the help of the newly introduced local industrial tax. In the curricula of the Imperial-Royal School, the main focus was assigned to the subjects of the natural-mathematical cycle, drawing, drawing and the study of new modern languages. The educational process was based on German educational programs that were adapted to local requirements. The newly created School was housed in a beautiful building at number 20 on the then-current Piekarska Street (now Virmenska).

In 1825, according to the Royal Decree of the Austrian Emperor Franz I, the three-level Imperial-Royal Real School was reorganised into the Imperial-Royal School of Technical Sciences and Trade in Lviv.

In 1835, the School of Technical Sciences and Trade turned into the Imperial-Royal Real-Trade Academy in Lviv. Here in 1841 the technical faculty was opened.

In 1844, in the house of Darowski, on the present Armenian street, 2, the Imperial-Royal Technical Academy was opened in Lviv with technical and trade departments (faculties). It was one of the first academic technical schools in Europe and the first in Ukraine. In 1877, at the start of a new academic year, under the leadership of the new rector Julian Zachariewicz, construction began of a new building to the academy (in the present Stepan Bandera street). Julian Zachariewicz was also an accomplished architect, and designed this building, based on the 1820s Technical University in Vienna, and the chemical laboratory.

At the same time, the academy was renamed Polytechnic School and included in the academic schools of the Austro-Hungarian Empire .
