Neural Network Maps as a Method for Constructing Mathematical Models
Scientists from HSE University–Nizhny Novgorod and the Institute of Physics Belgrade, Serbia, are jointly exploring the application of machine learning techniques and neural networks to the study of nonlinear dynamics. Natalya Stankevich, Leading Research Fellow at the Laboratory of Topological Methods in Dynamics of the Faculty of Informatics, Mathematics, and Computer Science at HSE University–Nizhny Novgorod, spoke to the HSE News Service about this international project.

‘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.

Inequality in Russia

Ch. 27. P. 311–319.
Mareeva S.

This chapter describes the issues of monetary inequality in modern Russia, its dynamics in recent years and the current structure of Russian society in terms of income. When measured by traditional indicators, income inequality among the whole population is noticeably higher in Russia than in Western Europe. The calculation of an integral index made it possible to construct a general model for the stratification of the mass strata of Russian society that demonstrates the configuration of non-monetary inequality in Russian society today. Public perceptions of inequality in Russia today are based mostly not on the specifics of individual situations, but on shared subjective norms and beliefs about inequality and their contrast with existing reality. In Russian sociological discourse, questions are raised about how the social structure of modern society can be characterised, in particular whether it is a class structure and, if so, what are the main classes and their specifics and what prospects might they have in the future.

Although global crises cause a subjective perception of threats, which consequently mitigates subjective well-being, the level of life satisfaction remains high among Russians. The aim of the study was to examine the role of social beliefs in life satisfaction among supporters of equal/unequal income distribution. The current study tested a model in which social beliefs ...

While the topic of sustainable development has been extensively explored, there is a lack of quantitative assessment of economic sustainability in the scientific literature; moreover, the term is often interpreted with excessive attention to the environment but not socio-economic inequality. In addition, university cities are often considered the most sustainable, although the higher education system ...

The article explores various aspects of how Russians perceive the development and preservation of their human potential. We demonstrate that, despite some positive changes, Russians mostly view their own situation and opportunities in relation to human potential as average. This finding aligns with the overall perception of the population’s subjective social well-being. The way Russians ...

Income inequality among regions in Russia gives rise to a number of social and economic problems. The causes of inequality are numerous and relatively well-studied. However, different studies may present directly opposing characteristics of factors and conditions contributing to inequality growth. This can be attributed to the geographic, historical, cultural, industrial, and even natural-climatic specificities ...

Support for reducing inequality in the new Russia: Does social mobility matter?
Mareeva S., Slobodenyuk E., Anikin V. A., Intersections (Hungary) 2022 Vol. 8 No. 2 P. 175–196
This paper addresses the issue of the interrelation between different types of social mobility and support for reducing income inequality in contemporary Russia. Drawing from the Russian subsets of the International Social Survey Programme’s (ISSP) surveys, we estimate how this support is differentiated across experienced and expected subjective mobility. Official statistics and empirical survey data ...

Постсоветская государственность и общество. Статья 3. Укрепление государственности и социальный контракт между обществом и властью.
Korotaev S., Shkaratan O., Общественные науки и современность 2018 № 1 С. 59–74
Заключительная часть статьи (статьи 1 и 2 см. «ОНС», 2017, № 4, 6) сосредоточивается на вопросах углубления социально-экономического неравенства россиян в постсоветский период. Авторы показывают, что высокие показатели неравенства главным образом обусловлены принципами управления страной, цель которых — концентрация власти в руках государственной верхушки. Раскрывается природа сложившейся в постсоветской России социально-экономической системы — как этакратизма в новой фазе его развития (неоэтакратизма). Утверждение неоэтакратизма охватило три исторических ...
