HSE Economists Reveal How the Wage Gap Emerges Among Vocational School Graduates
HSE researchers examined the careers of 600,000 graduates of Russian secondary vocational education programmes and found that at the start of their careers, the gender wage gap reaches 23%, doubling after three years. This disparity is largely due to male and female students choosing different occupations when enrolling in vocational schools. These were the findings made by Sergey Roshchin, Natalya Yemelina, and Ksenia Rozhkova from of the HSE Faculty of Economic Sciences. The article has been published in Educational Studies.

HSE Researchers Make Aldehydes Perform Dual Function
Chemists from HSE University have discovered a way to carry out a reductive addition reaction without using an external reducing agent. Instead, the required 'resource' is supplied by the aldehyde itself, one of the reaction participants. This approach helps prevent unwanted side reactions, reduces toxicity, and simplifies the production and synthesis of organic molecules, including those used in the manufacture of medicines. The study has been published in Journal of Catalysis.

HSE Scientists Explain Why Findings in Autism Research Differ
Researchers from the Cognitive Health and Intelligence Centre at HSE University conducted the first-ever systematic review of studies on the specifics of emotion-from-motion perception in autism. The review showed that differences found between autistic and non-autistic individuals are largely associated with the experimental design and the types of tasks given to study participants. The review findings have been published in Research in Autism.

A Shepherd with a Lyre? Reconsidering Einsiedeln Eclogues 1.18

Prometheus (Italy). 2021. Vol. 47. P. 191–197.
Shumilin M.

The article attempts to reconsider the problems connected with line 18 of the first Einsiedeln Eclogue. It is suggested that not only the notoriously problematic verb in line 17, but also the situation described in line 18 still remains unexplained: while inspiring one of the competing shepherds in a kind of poetic initiation, Apollo seems to be said to have ordered him to do something with a lyre, an obviously un-pastoral instrument in its associations. The reasons this lyre is referred to as “praised” are also not clear. The author of the article proposes to emend laudatam in line 18 to mandatam.

Olybrius or an Unknown Neronian Poet? The Date and Authorship of the Einsiedeln Eclogues Reconsidered
Shumilin M., Materiali e Discussioni per l'Analisi dei Testi Classici 2025 Vol. 95 P. 141–181
The paper examines the arguments of the proponents of a post-Neronian dating for the Einsiedeln Eclogues and in particular Justin Stover’s theory that these poems were composed by Anicius Hermogenianus Olybrius, the consul of AD 395. It is suggested that Stover’s evidence, just like the arguments adduced by other scholars who suggest that the Einsiedeln ...

In this article, three textually problematic passages from the Ciris, a variously dated short poem from the Appendix Vergiliana, are discussed. In line 63, it is suggested that B.

Pindar’s victory odes are fertile ground for scholarly research. Pindaric scholars elucidate Pindar’s often obscure verse by exploring various venues: they examine historical, cultural, and religious backgrounds of the victory odes (e.g. the Greco-Persian wars, the rule of Hieron in Sicily, religious cults referenced by Pindar); study Pindar’s poetic meters; establish generic patterns of the ...

This paper is a publication of the Latin correspondence between two prominent classical philologists of the late 19th — early 20th centuries, Fyodor E. Korsch and Grigory E. Saenger. Being only a part of their epistolary legacy, it is of undisputable interest both for the history of classical education in Russia and for the history ...

Эйнзидельнские буколики и образ императора в нероновской культуре
Shumilin M., Шаги/Steps 2020 Т. 6 № 2 С. 82–101
The so-called Einsiedeln Eclogues are two short bucolic texts published by H. Hagen in 1869 from a single Carolingian manuscript and traditionally dated to the Neronian age. Recent polemics about the date of Calpurnius’ eclogues (which also used to be dated to Nero’s time after M. Haupt’s seminal 1854 dissertation, but are now redated by ...
