Research conducted by economists at HSE University has revealed a significant correlation between the regular use of GenAI in the workplace and higher pay among Russian employees. The study found that individuals who frequently use GenAI in their professional activities earn notably more than those who reject these new tools or resort to them occasionally. The salary premium for highly qualified specialists reaches 41.8%. The article was published in the Voprosy Ekonomiki journal.

Personal Interest in Doctoral Thesis Topic Most Important for Confidence in Successful Defence
A researcher at HSE University analysed data on 1,539 doctoral students from 161 Russian universities to identify which features of a thesis topic are associated with academic success and engagement. The most important factor was found to be personal interest in the research topic, which was associated with almost all key aspects of doctoral programme experience—from engaging with the academic supervisor to research activity and confidence about successfully defending the thesis. The findings have been published in Higher Education.

War, Peace, and Populist Discourse in Ukraine

NY : Routledge, 2023.
Baysha O.

This book explores the detrimental effects on global peace of populism’s tendency to present complex social issues in simplistic "good versus evil" terms. Analyzing the civilizational discourse of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky with respect to the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine—with his division of the world into "civilized us" versus "barbarian them"—the book argues that such a one-dimensional representation of complex social reality leaves no space for understanding the conflict and has little, if any, potential to bring about peace.

To deconstruct the "civilization versus barbarism" discourse propagated by Zelensky, the book incorporates into its analysis alternative articulations of the crisis by oppositional voices. The author looks at the writing of several popular Ukrainian journalists and bloggers who have been excluded from the field of political representation within Ukraine, where all oppositional media are currently banned. Drawing on the discourse theory of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe, the author argues that the incorporation of alternative perspectives, and silenced voices, is vitally important for understanding the complexity of all international conflicts, including the current one between Russia and Ukraine.

The classical theory of platforms describes user dependency on digital ecosystems as a rational economic choice: users stay because it is convenient and switching is costly. But what happens when there is nowhere to switch — not because alternatives are less convenient, but because the state has eliminated them? This article introduces the concept of “sovereign lock-in” to ...

Utilitarian moral agents are perceived as braver and more moral when judged in a foreign language: Evidence from Tanzania
Butovskaya M., Bilingualism: Language and Cognition 2026 No. 29 P. 1078–1083
We examined how language affects moral judgments in a non-WEIRD population. Tanzanian participants (N = 103) evaluated utilitarian agents in moral dilemmas, either in native Chagga or foreign Swahili. Agents were rated significantly more moral and braver when evaluated in a foreign language. Bravery predicted morality more strongly in the foreign language than in the native language. Indirect sacrifices ...

The article analyzes which of the fundamental postulates of the discourse theory by Ernes-to Laclau and Chantal Mouffe found their development in Laclau’s theory of populism and Mouffe’s theory of agonistic democracy. Three basis components of the discourse theory are considered. These are discursive mechanisms by which certain meanings are fixed; the theory of collective ...

Limits to Tolerance: The Politicization of Liberal Values
Van de Wall B., Political Theory 2026
The defense of gay rights and other liberal values by some right-wing populists is often perceived as an opportunistic strategy to justify anti-Muslim policies. But this explanation for co-optation of liberal values by parties that are considered to be in conflict with liberalism circumvents a proper analysis of the phenomenon. I will therefore investigate this ...

В статье предлагается рассмотрение понятия неопределенности в качестве центрального элемента социальной онтологии. Через обращение к ресурсам теории дискурса Эрнесто Лакло и Шанталь Муфф утверждается принципиальная невозможность фиксации значений и вытекающая из этого радикальная контингентность социального. Для преодоления ограничения дискурсивной теории в анализе структурных кризисов автор обращается к теории кризиса Пьера Бурдье, который указывает на роль ...
