HSE Scientists Train Neural Network to 'Hear' Faults in Electric Motors
Researchers at the AI and Digital Science Institute of the HSE Faculty of Computer Science have developed a new method—the Signature-Guided Data Augmentation (SGDA) framework—that achieves 99% accuracy in motor fault detection and 86% accuracy in fault classification. The application of this approach can reduce industrial equipment repair costs, minimise downtime, and improve production safety. The study results have been published in Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence.

Is It Possible to Predict a Citys Life Based on the Shape of Its Neighbourhoods?
Is it possible to predict, based on the configuration of streets and buildings, where a café will open or where traffic congestion will occur? Participants in the Spatial Analysis and Modelling of Urban Processes research and study group use open data and machine learning to identify universal patterns. Alexander Sheludkov and Eduard Somov discuss the purpose of comparing cities, the need for new forms of urban statistics, and how open data is transforming approaches to urban studies.

History of Russian Law and Its Interpretations

Review of Central and East European Law. 2020. Vol. 45. No. 1. P. 161–180.
Antonov M.

This essay examines methodological nuances connected with historical research of Russian law. These nuances are studied against the backdrop of two books published respectively by Professor Ferdinand Feldbrugge and Professor William Pomeranz on Russian legal history. The methods employed by these authors reveal specific features of Russian legal language and mentality which can be helpful in explaining the dissimilarities between legal and political developments in Russia and the West. They place particular emphasis on the development of legal language and productively analyze many current issues of Russian law through the lens of history of concepts. These books are evaluated as important contributions to comparative analysis of Russian and Western legal cultures. The key events of Russian legal history are considered in a perspective that sheds light on the current challenges faced by Russian law.

State, Religion, and Law in Russia
Samokhina E., Antonov M., Хмелевский А. М. et al., / NRU Higher School of Economics. Series LAW "Law". 2025. No. 13 (1).
According to its Constitution, Russia is a secular state where the church is separated from the state. However, it would be incorrect to rule out any influence of religion onto law only because of these constitutional principles of secularity and separation. Many of our moral concepts and ethical convictions are imbued with religious meanings, many ...

Revolution and Democracy in the Twenty-First Century
Andrey Korotayev, Andrew Zhdanov, Leonid Grinin et al., Cross-Cultural Research 2025 Vol. 59 No. 2 P. 180–215
In this article, we analyze an inverted U-shaped relationship between the type of regime (on the autocracy-democracy scale) and the risks of revolutionary destabilization. Anocracies tend to be more vulnerable to revolutionary destabilization than full autocracies or full (consolidated) democracies. We also point to a strong positive association between the weakening of autocracies and the ...

The Pattern of Russian Legal Codification in Historical and Comparative Perspectives
Poldnikov D., , in: Law Reforms Around the World: Perspectives from National and International Law.: Abingdon: Routledge, 2023. Ch. 7 P. 108–118.
Codification is believed to be a unique, hard-won and hard-to-be-defended creation of Western European legal culture. Codes became its major export around the civil-law world and still dominate its legal landscape. Yet, codifications outside major civil law jurisdictions may vary considerably. This article examines the pattern of Russian legal codification. It built on and resembled the ...

One of the main debates in the study of authoritarianism concerns whether autocrats promote and reward agents based on performance or ideological loyalty to stave off the threat of elite coups. Yet autocrats often face existential crisis situations, particularly military conflict, where their survival depends on the performance of lower-level cadres defending the regime. In ...

Despite the fact that autocracies are frequently portrayed in art as states where all power belongs to a single person or a group of people, such states need mass political support. The latter signals that attempts at changing the status quo have little chances of success, lowers the probability of violent revolutions, and forms democratic legitimacy, while at ...
