Preface: Challenges and advantages of exploring post-Soviet higher education

P. viii–ix.
Semyonov D., Platonova D.

We hope that this study will make one more step in the gradual movement towards opening up opportunities for research on the post-Soviet space built on transparent data and keen academic interest. The demand for a thorough grasp of post-Soviet higher education transformations in each former Soviet Republic seemed natural at the start. Basically, we assumed that national higher education systems reflect changes in societies and the economic and political environment. The institutional landscape of higher education, the structure of the system and the set of ‘rules of the game’ can tell us a great deal about the society in which they are rooted.

Exploring the ethics of political PR professionals using moral foundations theory
Mikhaylova O., Abramov R., Plos One 2023 Vol. 18 No. 6 Article e0286217
This paper offers a multidimensional theoretical scheme to analyze professional ethics in the field of political public relations. We suggest investigating the decisions of these professionals using moral foundations theory because human ethical reasoning is contextual, and the examination of ethics in a one-dimensional manner as previous researchers have done overlooks the complexity of the ...

Entrepreneurship Education in Post-Soviet Higher Education Systems: Moving into or Resisting Global Entrepreneurial Culture
Pavel Sorokin, Froumin I., Chernenko S., , in: Entrepreneurialism and Society: Consequences and MeaningsVol. 82: Entrepreneurialism and Society: Consequences and Meanings.: Bingley: Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2022. P. 161–215.
The universal “promise of entrepreneurship” has gone far beyond the borders of countries where it emerged. Education systems might play an important role in this process by legitimizing entrepreneurship related myths, principles, and social hierarchies. Surprisingly, against the literature on the role of education in producing and allocating human capital, entrepreneurship education development on organizational, ...

Демография и социальный порядок: количественный анализ влияния доли молодежи на уровень преступности в постсоветской России.
Romanov D., Aisin M., Ivanov Y., В кн.: Системный мониторинг глобальных и региональных рисковВып. 10.: Издательство "Учитель", 2019. Гл. 14 С. 280–295.
Данное исследование предлагает оригинальный подход к рассмот-рению социально-политической дестабилизации через смещение исследовательского фокуса с политических режимов на изучение социальных порядков и замещению анализа политического акти-визма – на анализ уровня преступности. Тогда как общепринятая исследовательская традиция говорит об образованной и квалицированной безработной молодежи как основной движущей силе политических протестов различного ха-рактера (от ненасильственных демонстраций до бунтов и ...

Centres and Peripheries in the Post-Soviet Space: Relevance and Meanings of a Classical Distinction.
Bern: Peter Lang, 2020.
Like all empires, the Soviet Empire was also based on the distinction centre–periphery. Although the Soviet Empire no longer exists, relationships between centres and peripheries still shape realities in the region. The book analyses the relevance of this distinction for the understanding of political, economic, and cultural realities in the post-Soviet space. Case studies provided ...

The paper presents the results of two studies of intercultural relations in post-Soviet Georgia and Tajikistan. These countries have in common a sharp decline in cultural diversity as a result of wars and conflicts, and this model of intercultural relations on post-Soviet space was identified as a post-conflict model. The goal of this study was ...

Soviet Debris: Failure and the Poetics of Unfinished Construction in Northern Siberia
Ssorin-Chaikov N., Social Research 2016 Vol. 83 No. 3 P. 689–721
This article approaches failure through the lens of the ruination, residue, and debris that accumulated during the Soviet construction in northern Siberia. My focus is on the ambivalence of ruination and incomplete construction. I argue that debris as material and documentary product of the Soviet project is not merely an important component of the Soviet ...

Conclusions: High participation higher education in the post-Trow era
Cantwell B., Marginson S., Smolentseva A., , in: High Participation Systems of Higher Education.: Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2018. Ch. 16 P. 439–460.
The concluding chapter takes stock of the book’s core notion of high participation systems (HPS) of higher education, in the context of the eight country studies and seventeen HPS propositions. The propositions engender extensive, though not unanimous, support. Declining institutional diversity and more complex governance are broadly agreed, but Finland and Norway differ from the ...

Legitimation through self-victimization. The “Uzbek cotton affair” and its repression narrative (1989-1991)
Cucciolla R. M., Cahiers d'histoire russe, est-européenne, caucasienne et centrasiatique (ex. Cahiers du Monde Russe) 2017 Vol. 58 No. 4 P. 639–668
The cotton affair, which was followed after 1983, resulted in the memory of the past ruling elite. This is a massive moralization campaign of provoking disability and a post-communal trauma narrative undergirding. Karimov's ideological shift (1989-1991) saw the CPUz move from loyal communist orthodoxy towards nationalist ideological split. There are no limits on the number ...

Gorbunova E., Hawley J., Kondratjeva O., Comparative Education Review 2017 No. 3 P. 607–633
Student attrition in postsecondary education is a significant public policy problem. Nations invest substantial resources in college systems, and when students leave, this investment is lost. To understand the factors that influence student attrition in US and Russian public universities, we use the perspective of academic momentum, defined empirically as measures representing student enrollment and ...

Stages of Policy Changes and Institutional Landscape of Russian Higher Education
Semyonov D., Platonova D., Higher Education in Russia and Beyond 2016 No. 2(8) P. 23–24
The quarter-century evolution of the Russian institutional landscape consisted of periods of rapid marketization and state-driven correction. The ‘natural’ diversification times were followed by a selective system segmentation into several tiers. During the post-Soviet period most higher education institutions changed their profiles (even though keeping their old names). Many new institutions have emerged; they form ...
