Biologists Discover 'Molecular Fingerprint' of Preeclampsia
Researchers at HSE University employed a new method to model hypoxia in placental cells during pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia and identified molecular markers of tissue hypoxia. Since hypoxia is one of the key mechanisms underlying preeclampsia, these findings are important for a more accurate and timely diagnosis of the disease and for the development of effective treatment methods. The paper has been published in Placenta.

‘Speech, Facial Expressions, and Gestures Cannot Lie
Would you like to know whether a speaker’s trembling voice or an accidental gesture can give them away? At HSE University in Nizhny Novgorod, researchers are developing an algorithm that analyses speech, facial expressions, and gestures, and determines whether information is truthful with 92% accuracy. The project has applications ranging from forensic examination and bank recruitment to fundamental research. Anna Khomenko, head of the research group and Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Language and Brain at the HSE Faculty of Humanities in Nizhny Novgorod, explains how students and researchers are working together to create a corpus of video recordings, train a classifier, and prepare to introduce computer vision technology.

Make it work! – A study of user-innovation in Russia.

Science and Public Policy. 2017. Vol. 44. No. 3. P. 392–402.
Fursov K., Thurner T.

This article studies the specificities of Russian user innovators on a sample of 1,670 home interviews. The percentage of end users who innovate and their willingness to share ideas is much higher in comparison to western countries and rooted in community activities which spread during Soviet times. We identify two groups of user innovators: urban, male, well educated, and financially better-situated vs a much more diverse group of small town folks who innovate out of necessity. The first group confirms previous findings, the second group is unique to developing markets and to Russia in particular. As these user innovators are reluctant to commercialise their innovations and would rather keep them for themselves or share with their peers on a voluntary basis, a great source of ideas and commercial opportunity remains untouched.

Политические языки ряда русских националистов имели специфичное словоупотребление «имперских» идиом в Перестройку и 1990-е гг. Воображение «империи» было связано со спецификой их взглядов на «национальное» в контексте рассмотрения актуальных политических проблем. Также, использование ими «имперских» идиом зависело от полемики с другими националистами и либерал-демократами. Данная статья посвящена анализу и сравнению использования «имперских» и связанных с ...

From Self-Interest to Collective Good: How Moral Framing Affects the Justification of Free-Riding Behavior
Tormos R., Nastina E., Journal of Social and Political Psychology 2026 Vol. 14 No. 1 P. 304–329
Free riding behaviors, such as tax evasion and exploiting public resources, erode societal trust and cooperation. Using a representative survey conducted in Spain (N = 2,000, Catalonia) with an embedded experiment that randomly exposed participants to different moral framings, this study examines how such framings shape attitudes towards free riding, including tax evasion, claiming undeserved ...

Among the Roman pontiffs who proclaimed crusades against the Turks, Pius II (1458-1464) stands out for having publicly declared his intention to go to war and backed it up with concrete actions. His death in Ancona, from where he was about to set sail for the East, can be perceived as a feat of faith ...

How Norms Depend on the Presence and Status of Observers: The Relational Contingency of Everyday Behaviors in 90 Societies
Simpson B., Eriksson K., Vartanova I. et al., American Sociological Review 2026 Vol. 0 No. 0 P. 1–22
Norms are fundamental to social life, but basic questions about how they are affected by social context remain. Specifically, how do normative constraints depend on the presence and status of observers, and how do such relational contingencies vary across cultures? Using data from more than 25,000 individuals across 90 societies, we test several hypotheses linking ...

We examine board of directors’ gender diversity and corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure of Russian firms, and test for their effects on the market valuation of these firms. The Russian context is unique because gender disparity of boards and top management remains high in Russia due to historical legacy, absence of specific diversity-promoting regulations and ...

Abstract. Over the years of market reforms, China has moved from an autarkic economy to the position of the world’s largest trading power, becoming a global leader both in export volume and in total foreign trade turnover. For a long time, China’s export success was commonly explained by her use of comparative advantages in labor-intensive ...

Факторы устойчивой интеграции университетских музеев в образовательный процесс
Rossinskaya A., Борусяк Л. Ф., Киктева К. С. et al., Высшее образование в России 2026 Т. 35 № 7 С. 144–168
Статья посвящена анализу образовательной деятельности университетских музеев России. Актуальность исследования обусловлена противоречием между высоким образовательным потенциалом музеев и фрагментарностью его реализации, а также отсутствием в литературе системного анализа условий интеграции музеев в учебный процесс высшей школы. Несмотря на признание музеев важными центрами сохранения наследия и популяризации науки, вопрос об их реальной включённости в повседневную образовательную жизнь вузов ...

Стремительно растущее население планеты и рост объемов индивидуального потребления при низкой включенности населения в экологические практики признается ключевым препятствием на пути к экономике замкнутого цикла. В статье анализируется использование огромного рекламно-коммуникационного потенциала крупных торговых сетей для вовлечения населения в экономику замкнутого цикла через повышение экологической сознательности и популяризацию ответственного потребления. Эмпирической основой исследования стала база данных коммуникации шести ...

Что такое Свобода? Свобода воли, свободы личности, конституционная модель и законодательное регулирование
Момджян К. Х., Кржевов В. С., Poddiakov A. et al., М.: Новые печатные технологии, 2025.
При всей кажущейся ясности и недвусмысленности понятия «свобода» дать ему исчерпывающую научную дефиницию весьма затруднительно. У каждой отрасли знания свой подход к трактовке этого многоаспектного понятия. В ходе обсуждения, материалы которого вошли в настоящий сборник, свобода рассматривается с позиций философии, социологии, юриспруденции, психологии, нейрофизиологии и т.д. Участники дискуссии рассуждают о границах свободы воли и субъектности человека, о соотношении свободы и ...

Main structural elements of Victory Day celebrations during Soviet period were: (1) distinctive role of veterans as the “carrier group” for festive scenario and values; (2) combination of public rituals and family memory, patriotic solidarity and commemoration of tragedy.

Sociological texts on zombies are mostly interested in human problems (capitalism, pop culture, etc), not in zombies as such. Zombies as a specific form of (non) life remain a blindspot for sociologists. Scientists of other disciplines, like epidemiology and neurosciences, have already declared their ways for studying zombies. Our task is to outline the concepts ...

Статья посвящена исследованию маскарадов как социального и культурного феномена в эпоху правления Николая I. Автор рассматривает маскарады не только как развлекательные мероприятия, но и как сложные ритуалы, совмещающие властные сценарии, гендерные роли, социальные иерархии и индивидуальные характеры. Основное внимание уделяется трем типам маскарадов: придворным, аристократическим и публичным. Придворные маскарады (новогодние и июльские) служили инструментом демонстрации ...

“Leaderlessness” is widely held to be a defining feature of contemporary mass mobilization, yet the claim rests on a handful of recent cases. We offer the first systematic cross-national analysis of this phenomenon from 1791 to 2019. We show that the absence of leadership is real but older and more modest than claimed: the share ...
