“…This distribution of funding between private and public sources reflects the position of Marginson S., Musgrave R. -in developing economies, public funding gives a positive return. Until recently, state programs of financing science and higher education brought positive effects -an increase in publication activity (Prakhov, 2021;Matveeva, 2021), a change in the researchers' migration trajectory, an increase in their mobility (Sudakova, 2021), higler positions of universities in international rankings etc. However, the latest destructive geopolitical events allow us to form only evaluative conclusions about the new challenges brought by these changes.…”

Relevance. Education is a significant factor in economic growth. However, the discussion about the principles for distributing higher education funding is still open, and the cases of individual countries are not sufficiently covered in research literature. Research objective. The study aims to determine the principles of financing based on the case studies of Russian universities. Foreign financing mechanisms are analyzed and compared with Russian practice that has similar foundations. Financing mechanisms are classified according to their distribution principle. Data and methods. The statistical base for the study is the data of a large-scale higher education monitoring project of 2019-2021. The study was conducted in more than 650 Russian universities. In order to determine the principles of financing, a correlation analysis is carried out to identify the correlation between the indicators. Universities are grouped by regions with different socio-economic characteristics, subgroups of universities within the regional division were identified. Results. The distribution of funding among Russian universities is based on the principles of quasi-competition and equalization. Universities located in regions with low indicators of socio-economic development are mainly financed to achieve equalization of educational activities, and, as the socio-economic situation in the region improves, funding is channeled into equalization of research activities. Another more obvious conclusion is that research activities of universities that participate in state programs are funded based on competition, while other universities have lower correlation between indicators, which leads us to the assumption that other universities’ research activities are funded based on the principles of equalization. Conclusions. The novelty of the study is the results that enrich the understanding of the principles for funding distribution in the Russian higher education system. Contrary to most studies of the concentration of resources around a limited number of institutions, the study concludes that resources and funding are distributed based on equalization, supporting the less competitive units of the system, and directing funding to regions with less stable socio-economic characteristics.

“…The promising area for the development of internal and external migration is the mobility of scientists since it allows for the communication of highly qualified specialists, which is of great importance for the development of the knowledge society [88,89]. Education is an important factor influencing migration flows [90][91][92].…”

Studying student migration trends is a significant task in studying human capital development as one of the leading factors in sustainable socio-economic development. The migration potential of students impacts the opportunities and prospects for sustainable development. The study of factors influencing the migration behavior of students acquires special significance in this article. The interpersonal competencies of the population impact its migration potential. Migration processes impact the differentiation of regions in terms of human capital. This article is based on theoretical and practical research on human capital, its formation, development, and migration as a factor in human capital development. The practical part of the study presents an analysis of data obtained from a sociological study of the factors that determine internal and international migration. An anonymous sociological survey of students in Ekaterinburg, Kursk, and Tomsk (Russia) was conducted in several stages. The first stage was implemented in October and December 2020 (N = 958). The second stage was implemented in October and November 2021 (N = 960). This study allows for tracing how the COVID-19 pandemic affects the migration potential of students and their desire for a satisfactory career path.
