In 1914, it was evacuated to Kharkiv

In 1921, the institute was rebuilt under the new name of Kharkiv Agricultural Institute.[6]

The institute was evacuated to the city of Kattakurgan of the Uzbek SSR during World War II. In October 1944, it was returned to Kharkiv. The Institute in March 1946 received the name of soil scientist of V.V. Dokuchayev on the 360th anniversary of his birth.
