The Moscow International University was established in 1991 by Mikhail Gorbachev and George H. W. Bush, and is the first private university in Russia.

In August 1991, President of the USSR Mikhail Gorbachev and President of the U.S. George H. W. Bush launched a joint educational project: a Soviet-American University, which in documents signed later by Boris Yeltsin, the first President of Russia, was named the Moscow International University.

The university's main campus is located at 17 Leningradsky Prospect in central Moscow.
