Doctor of Philosophy Professor Vladimir Dobrenkov resigned from the post of dean of the sociology faculty of Moscow State University. This was reported on Facebook by the Associate Professor of the Faculty of Global Processes of Moscow State University Oleg Ivanov.
"Professor -plagiator Dobrenkov quietly and ingloriously resigned, holding out, thanks to the rector, seven years after those very events at the sociology faculty," Ivanov wrote. According to him, under the influence of the former dean, the student initiative did not lead to positive changes at the faculty. “The faculty is still dead,” Ivanov believes.
In addition, the rector of Moscow State University Viktor Sadovnichi fired the philosopher Alexander Dugin from the post of head of the department of sociology of international relations of this faculty. It is reported by Dugin himself. According to him, the reason was his "position in Novorossia." In his dismissal and departure, Dobrenkov Dugin accused the "liberals and Atlantists."
Dugin is actively in support of the separatists of the East of Ukraine. Earlier on the website of public initiatives, a petition was published to the rector of Moscow State University demanding to dismiss Dugin. She collected more than 10 thousand signatures. The reason was calls to kill supporters of the Kiev authorities with whom Dugin performed after the events in Odessa.
Dugin defends the ideas of Eurasianism and conservatism, offering them as an ideological platform of the Russian authorities.
In 2007, Dobrenkov was in the center of the scandal. Former teachers accused the dean of dictatorial style of leadership and dismissal "for any manifestation of dissent." The concern of personnel at the social faculty was then expressed by the rector of Moscow State University Viktor Sadovnichy. However, there was no decision to change the leadership of the faculty.
Dobrenkova was also criticized for a significant amount of incorrect borrowings in the textbooks published by him and dissertations protected at the faculty, as well as a decrease in the general level of teaching.
In 2008, a number of students of the faculty, dissatisfied with the quality of training, the level of a significant part of teachers, constant conservative-nationalist indocation by the leadership, as well as household disorder at the faculty, expressed a public protest on this occasion. Students' actions were supported by a number of leading domestic social scholars. Leading Western scientists also spoke out in defense of students ( 
The social faculty of Moscow State University was created in 1989. From the moment of its foundation, Dobrenkov headed it.
