The authors deal with the research problem in the evaluation of the universities’ teachers' acceptance of the changes in higher education in Russia. The assessment of the higher education reform effects was built through the optics of the micro-level studying and the bottom-top strategy for summarizing the results. The authors used a list of questions about teachers assessing the inner academic mobility, the success of the transition to a two-level system, the perception of competition in the academic market, the possibility of scientific work and internal academic mobility, and also the degree and type of participation in masters’ programs developing. The results were based on data obtained in the framework of the project “The Russian Masters' early growth”, the winner of the scholarship program of the Vladimir Potanin Foundation. The study showed that university teachers perceived the reform of higher education rather negatively, noted the increase in useless paperwork, the low level of academic mobility, lack of academic freedom, and the difficulty in science work. Competition between teachers was assessed as low, and respondents also marked that the academic labor market in Russia is narrowed.  The authors concluded that the tasks of reform of higher education have not been solved, and on the part of teachers there is an institutional distrust of the ongoing reforms. The results showed that the higher education reform was not accepted by the university teaching staff as a good way to change. An institutional distrust of the reforms was also investigated.
