You cannot study spoken dialects from books. Instead, you need to go to a village, seek out its elders, and earn the trust of local residents before you can record hours of spontaneous stories. This is how Natalia Muravleva, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Humanities, conducts her research. Her internship in Serbia continued her long-standing study of dialects spoken by Macedonian settlers. In this interview, she discusses how diaspora cultural centres help researchers reach informants, why native speakers need to be interviewed only in their own language (otherwise, as she puts it, they may 'break'), and how a single field season helped her finalise her monograph. She also shares warm memories of autumn in Belgrade and of colleagues with whom grammar can be discussed in three languages at once.
Researchers at the HSE FCSAI and Digital Science Institute have developed CAD2TechSpec, a framework that converts 3D models of mechanical parts into machining process plans—step-by-step instructions for machine tools. The solution aims to reduce the time required for the design and preparation of technical process documentation in mechanical engineering, aircraft manufacturing, and other high-tech industries. The study findings have been published in PeerJ Computer Science.
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.

This paper investigates a group of regular errors and semantic deviations related to prepositional phrases with dlja in non-standard Russian spoken in Finland. The data from the Russian Learner Corpus demonstrates that Finnish learners with different sociolinguistic backgrounds (bilingual heritage speakers vs L2 learners) produce different type of errors in use and formation of phrases ...

This article considers the Russian marginal copula construction stat’ +byt’ (become to be) + nonverbal predicate and its normative variant without the copula byt’. These constructions were used in the 18th century language where they both were thought as normative, and they are still used today in web communications although possibly without a diachronic succession. ...
