Education in Russia: News

George1 wrote:The head of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, Alexander Bastrykin, made an unexpected statement for a high-level official. Despite the fact that the department he heads has nothing to do with the country's education system, Alexander Bastrykin spoke about the realities of the modern educational system.

Speaking at a conference on the role of law in ensuring human well-being, the chairman of the RF IC criticized the education system and called for the return of its Soviet version. According to Bastrykin, the Soviet education system was the best in the world.

Russians do not need to feel any collective guilt over anything before 1917 and after.   But that is exactly what people like you and

I am guessing these projects wont go forward now either...

The designer Giprokon LLC presented the concept of the facade of the Moscow State University branch in Zelenogradsk - it will be made in the video cloud. The idea was approved at a meeting on Wednesday, May 18, by the Architectural and Urban Planning Council of the Kaliningrad Region.
This is the second version of the appearance of the building, the previous one was rejected. It was a historical facade of the capital's university.


The project has been completely changed, now the building is an example of modern modernist architecture, it is proposed to be built in the form of a cloud. Two more options were considered - a ship and a wave, but the decisions were abandoned.
Near the river Trostyanka, on the street. Turgenev will erect two four-story buildings, they are created for research activities.
The installation “I love Moscow State University” will be installed in the courtyard of the university with a heart sign instead of the word “love”. An embankment in the form of a pontoon will be built next to the buildings. There will be special chairs for fishermen and a bike rack.




In December last year, tenders were announced to find a designer. 28.7 million rubles will be allocated for the construction.

In Moscow, on behalf of the President of Russia, they continue to develop the campuses of leading universities.

One of these projects is Bauman Moscow State Technical University. Together with the Government of the Russian Federation, the largest university campus development project in recent years is being implemented here. About 170 thousand square meters of new space, as well as the restoration of ancient buildings, cultural monuments, which will also be involved in circulation and adapted to work with science, education, students, graduate students, future scientists. In fact, Baumanka is experiencing a rebirth.

The campus will become an open public space accessible to pedestrians and important to the city.

Co-working spaces, multimedia spaces and dorm complex

Moscow State Technical University named after N.E. Bauman is one of the oldest and largest technical universities in Russia. The educational and administrative buildings of the university are located in the center of Moscow on the Yauza embankment. Basically, the complex of university buildings was formed several decades ago and today it no longer meets the needs of an actively developing university.

In this regard, the Government of Russia, together with the Government of Moscow, made a decision on the comprehensive development of the territory of the university.

The new campus will be located in close proximity to the existing buildings of the university, which will ensure the effect of synergy between existing and new departments of the Moscow State Technical University named after N.E. Bauman.

TOMSK, June 13 - RIA Tomsk, Alexander Mazurov. The Government of the Russian Federation in 2021 has selected eight projects for the construction of world-class university campuses in different cities of Russia. They want to build campuses in Tomsk, Moscow, Novosibirsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Ufa, Yekaterinburg, Kaliningrad and Chelyabinsk. About what is known about these projects and how much money is required for their implementation - in the review of RIA Tomsk.

According to the website of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, by 2030 it is planned to build at least 25 world-class campuses in Russia. The total area will be about 1.5 million "squares", of which 633,000 are dormitories.

In the coming years, campuses will be built under the Education national project in Tomsk, Moscow, Novosibirsk, Kaliningrad, Nizhny Novgorod, Ufa, Chelyabinsk and Yekaterinburg. The amount of funding from the federal budget will not exceed 60%, and the heads of regions will have to turn to investors for part of the funds.

Tomsk. 12-seater gondolas

The regional administration and the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation signed an agreement on the construction of a student campus under the national project "Education" in Tomsk in 2019. The building area is 49 hectares, the area of ​​objects is 259 thousand square meters. It is planned that 10 thousand people will live on the campus.

Tomsk campus is the largest. The cost is estimated at 50-60 billion rubles. Until 2024, the region will receive 18 billion from the state budget for the implementation of the project. In addition, Tomsk Student Campus, a joint company established at the end of 2021 by Gazprombank and Granit Group of Companies (already engaged in the reconstruction of the Ushaika embankment and pedestrian zones on Lenin in Tomsk), plans to invest in construction.

On the campus there will be a hotel complex with co-working spaces, medical centers, offices, cafes and hairdressers; a sports and recreation complex with swimming pools, fitness clubs, a gym; multifunctional training center with laboratories and lecture halls.

Tomsk interuniversity campus: what and where will be located



Initially, the interuniversity campus was planned to be built on the left bank of the Tom River, outside the city near the Severny Park microdistrict. However, due to the need to buy land from the developer, they decided to move the campus to another land plot on the left bank - opposite the Camp Garden.

During the discussion, Tomsk residents and deputies repeatedly drew attention to the need to build a campus in the city due to the lack of infrastructure on the left bank. In particular, the option of transferring the site of correctional colony No. 4 to the campus was proposed. The Federal Penitentiary Service, in response to a request from deputies, reported that there were no plans to move the colony in the near future.

In search of a solution to the transport accessibility of the campus, futuristic solutions have emerged. In particular, it was proposed to build a pedestrian bridge across the Tom, as well as a cable car with 12-seat gondolas, which, as planned, should transport 5,000 people per hour to the left bank.

Currently, on the site opposite the Lagerny Garden, between Sennaya Kurya and Tom, engineering surveys are being carried out for the subsequent development of design estimates (DED). The campus is expected to be completed by 2025.
