BOSTON COLLEGE Lynch School of Education Department of Educational Leadership and Higher Education Higher Education INTERNATIONALIZATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN RUSSIA: COLLAPSE OR PERPETUATION OF THE SOVIET SYSTEM? A HISTORICAL AND CONCEPTUAL STUDY Dissertation by ALEXEY KURAEV Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2014 © Copyright by Alexey Kuraev 2014 Abstract Internationalization of Higher Education in Russia: Collapse or Perpetuation of the Soviet System? A Historical and Conceptual Study Alexey Kuraev - author Philip Altbach - dissertation director This study traces the policy and implementation of internationalization in the Russian higher education system from 1917 to the present. The analysis suggests that international academic policy has been applied by the Russian state continuously, though with radically differing emphasis and mechanisms, through the last hundred years. Chapter One presents the research questions, design and methodology of the study. Chapter Two reviews scholarly literature related to academic internationalization and situates this definition within the context of Russian higher education. Chapters 3-5 explore the role of international activities in Russian higher education during the seventy years of the Soviet era. Trends in Soviet academic international policy related to three major historical periods are discussed in this section: a) the initial Bolshevik program for global academic reform; b) Sovietization of higher education in the countries of Communist Bloc; and c) East-West international academic competition during the Cold War period. Chapters 6-7 address the role of internationalization in the reformation of Russian higher education during the last two decades of Post-Soviet period. This section examines the extent and likely outcomes of these changes. This research demonstrates that Russian higher education has had a continuous international aspect, though organized differently than Western structures. The analysis also suggests that key organizational components of the Soviet administrative system still exist in the current Russian higher education structure. The current implementation of internationalization presents Russian academics with an opportunity to enforce academic professionalism and promote their status as global academics. At the same time, however, state organization and governing administration principles of Russian higher education continue to reduce academics to functional executors of state directives and deliverers of vocational training. In this way, internationalization serves as a critical nexus for the collision of traditional administrative structures with the new aspirations of Russian academics.

  • Congressional Program
    Supported by RFBR grant №19-015-20046/19 PROGRAMME 4TH NATIONAL CONGRESS ONREGENERATIVE MEDICINE 3 Dear colleagues! On behalf of the Russian Ministry of Health and on my own behalf, I cordially greet the participants and guests of the IV National Congress on Regenerative Medicine. In the public health in Russia great attention is paid to the development of new trends in medicine, using the most advanced achievements of medical science to develop safe and effective approaches to the treatment of serious human diseases. Significant expectations are associated with the progress of regenerative medicine, which allows achieving fundamentally new therapeutic results, specifically the complete restoration of the structure and function of tissues and organs after damage and even the recreation of lost organs or tissues using tissue engineering approaches. The Congress is held within the verge of Lomonosov Moscow State University, whose scholarly traditions formed a reliable foundation for leadership in the field of regenerative medicine. Fundamental and interdisciplinary research by MSU scientists become a basis for many solutions in the field of regenerative medicine, and the educational traditions of the classical university provide this area with high-level specialists. Prominent Russian and foreign scientists and physicians are traditionally taking part in the Congress, and an extensive scientific program will allow them to discuss the most challenging issues of regenerative medicine. The participants of the Congress are faced with a number of critical tasks relating to current achievements, unsolved problems and perspectives for the development of regenerative medicine. Holding a scientific event of such a level opens up new opportunities for the interaction of specialists in the field of regenerative medicine, will facilitate the establishment and maintenance of valuable scientific network and stimulate the implementation of the achievements of this new field of medicine into clinical practice.

  • Russia Country Report: Multicultural Experience in Education
    RUSSIA COUNTRY REPORT: MULTICULTURAL EXPERIENCE IN EDUCATION Leila Salekhova, Ksenia Grigorieva Kazan Federal University (RUSSIAN FEDERATION) Abstract The Russian Federation (RF) is a large country with the total area of 17,075,400 sq km. The RF has the world’s ninth-largest population of 146,600,000 people. According to the 2010 census, ethnic Russian people constitute up to 81% of the total population. In total, over 185 different ethnic groups live within the RF borders. Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Judaism are Russia’s traditional religions. Russia is a multinational and multicultural state. The large number of different ethnic groups represents the result of a complicated history of migrations, wars and revolutions. The ethnic diversity of Russia has significantly influenced the nature of its development and has had a strong influence on the state education policy. The article gives a detailed analysis of the key factors determining educational opportunities for different RF ethnic groups. A complicated ethnic composition of Russia’s population and its multi-confessional nature cause the educational system to fulfill educational, ethno-cultural and consolidating functions by enriching the educational content with ethnic peculiarities and at the same time providing students with an opportunity to study both in native (non-Russian) and non-native (Russian) languages. The paper provides clear and thorough description of Russian educational system emphasizing positive features like high literacy and educational rates especially in technical areas that are due to the results of the educational system functioning nowadays. Teacher education is provided in different types of educational institutions allowing their graduates to start working as teachers immediately after graduating.

  • IQAS International Education Guide
    International Education Guide FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF EDUCATION FROM THE FORMER USSR AND THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION Welcome to the Alberta Government’s International Education Guides The International Qualifications Assessment Service (IQAS) developed the International Education Guides for educational institutions, employers and professional licensing bodies to help facilitate and streamline their decisions regarding the recognition of international credentials. These guides compare educational systems from around the world to educational standards in Canada. The assessment recommendations contained in the guides are based on extensive research and well documented standards and criteria. This research project, a first in Canada, is based on a broad range of international resources and considerable expertise within the IQAS program. Organizations can use these guides to make accurate and efficient decisions regarding the recognition of international credentials. The International Education Guides serve as a resource comparing Alberta standards with those of other countries, and will assist all those who need to make informed decisions, including: • employers who need to know whether an applicant with international credentials meets the educational requirements for a job, and how to obtain information comparing the applicant’s credentials to educational standards in Alberta and Canada • educational institutions that need to make a decision about whether a prospective student meets the education requirements for admission, and who need to find accurate and reliable information about the educational system of another country • professional licensing bodies that need to know whether an applicant meets the educational standards for licensing bodies The guides include a country overview, a historical educational overview, and descriptions of school education, higher education, professional/technical/vocational education, teacher education, grading scales, documentation for educational credentials and a bibliography.
