‘In the Age of Technology, It Is Interesting to Look into the Past and Think about What We Can Take from It
Polina Tabakova decided to apply for a Philology degree at HSE in Nizhny Novgorod because she grew up in Mari El and did not want to move far away from the Russian forests. In an interview for the Young Scientists of HSE University project, she spoke about the genre of the campus novel, the existential drama of Kolobok, and a blackout version of Eugene Onegin.

HSE Scientists Develop Method to Compress Large Language Models Without Losing Quality
Researchers from the AI and Digital Science Institute at the HSE Faculty of Computer Science have developed a new compression method for large language models such as GPT and LLaMA that reduces their size by 25–36% without additional training or significant loss of accuracy. This is the first approach to use mathematical transformations—specifically, rotations of model weights—to make models more amenable to compression with structured matrices. The study results have been published in ACL Findings 2025. The code is available on GitHub.

Empowerment of the disempowered: assessing the impact of young Muscovites through ecological practices

Ch. 17. P. 342–364.
Lebedeva D.

Taking account of the ambiguous lines of responsibility for ecological activity in present-day Russia, this study investigates why young people still engage in everyday ecological practices, despite environmentalism being a peripheral issue in relation to the dominant political agenda. The research is guided by the following research questions: how do proactive and ecologically responsible young Muscovites justify their everyday engagement in individual ecological practices, and what motivates them to actively care for the environment? Does the ecological agenda become, for them, a field of power struggle and a means of alternative political representation? Do young people, by engaging in ecological practices, become empowered, taking a stance against the official rhetoric?

Examining the Connection Between Position-Based Power and Social Status Across 70 Cultures
Wasiel A., Górski M., Bond M. H. et al., British Journal of Social Psychology 2025 Vol. 64 No. 2 Article e12871
Even in the most egalitarian societies, hierarchies of power and status shape social life. However, power and received status are not synonymous—individuals in positions of power may or may not be accorded the respect corresponding to their role. Using a cooperatively collected dataset from 18,096 participants across 70 cultures, we investigate, through a survey-based correlational design, ...
