Dear friends,
As part of HSE’s 25th anniversary, we have decided to ask the University’s first professors to talk about their academic interests, research projects and achievements, as well as share their thoughts on academic development at our Alma mater. During the anniversary year, this page featured new stories, videos and photos with these very inspirational people. If you look forward to seeing HSE’s development through the eyes of its professors, and finding out how it turned into a leading Russian university from a modest institution, we would be glad to share this information on this website. Read, watch and have fun!
