Lomonosov Moscow State University has been ranked the best educational institution in Russia by Interfax and radio station Ekho Moskvy.
The main objective of the project, which is conducted annually by both information agencies, is to develop mechanisms and procedures to independently assess Russian universities and their educational programs, as well as to boost the competitive edge of Russia's educational system, according to Interfax.
St. Petersburg State University came in second place, followed by the MIFI National Research Nuclear University.
The ranking featured 161 universities: 74 of them ordinary universities, 29 натионал research institutes, 37 technical or technological universities, 12 economic institutions, 3 agricultural universities, and 6 other universities offering training in a specific field.
The activities of each university were assessed according to six basic parameters: educational activities; scientific and research activities; activities of the university in the social sphere; international activities of the university; brand; innovation; and entrepreneurial activities.
Lomonosov Moscow State University was also cited among the developing world's top 10 universities last December by the Times Higher Education BRICS & Emerging Economies ranking.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
