Alexei Navalny: “About Guriev”

“Well, the questions are not surprising: after all, they write that one of the two most famous Russian economists in the world is leaving Russia. Especially considering that the second most famous Russian economist in the world, Ekaterina Zhuravskaya, is the wife of Sergei Guriev.

I won’t go on and on about how good, wonderful and smart Guriev is - everyone already knows that.

As everyone knows, Guriev created NES, an educational institution that is recognized as one of the best in Europe in its field. Agree, this is something extraordinary for Russian education, which is generally characterized as “Under Yeltsin, everyone left, everything fell apart, the premises were rented out, and under Putin, the rector received a bribe and gave the land for development with housing and offices, so he is very pleased.”
