“…It is an opportunity for universities to remain attractive in these competitive conditions, especially in higher education markets that have become increasingly tight.

“…While the period of the 1990s was the toughest time for the Russian higher education (with particularly poor financial conditions for universities and massive outflow of the academic staff to other economic sectors or abroad), a certain revival starting from the yearly 2000 was observed (Kastoueva-Jean, 2006).
