The Moscow prosecutor’s office had claims to Liberal Arts programs in the Moscow Higher School of Social and Economic Sciences (Shaninka). As it became known to Kommersant, the department notified the university that the content of the courses was aimed at "the destruction of the traditional values of Russian society and the distortion of history."
Recall that in early March, a similar letter from the Moscow prosecutor's office received a RANEPA.
The Liberal ARTS programs in the RANEPA are implemented by the Institute of Social Sciences - earlier it was led by Sergey Zuev, part -time rector of Shaninka. Since November 2021, he has been in a pre -trial detention center in the fraud case.
The prosecutor's office told the RANEPA that ten Liberal Arts programs do not correspond to Art. 38 and Art. 43 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation (relate to concern for children and their education), as well as the principles of national security strategy. The department concluded that the model of these programs “aimed at destroying the traditional values of Russian society and distorting history”, as well as “helps to reduce the subject-methodical and educational component in the preparation of future graduates”.
The press service of Shaninka said that the Ministry of Internal Affairs requested documents about the work of “several teachers”, without calling their names and other details.
According to the unnamed interlocutor of Kommersant at the university, we are talking about the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs about ten teachers - including the political scientist Ekaterina Shulman, sociologists of Grigory Yudina and Konstantin Gaaza and historian Ilya Budraitkis. From Shaninka, he said, they demanded their employment contract, information on salary accrual, working time of working hours and other documents.
Ekaterina Schulman told Kommersant that he was aware of the request of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but “no one addressed it personally”. According to her, the request is related to the case of Sergei Zuev.
“I really have nothing to do with the case, but this does not interfere with the information,” says Schulman. “And no one asked me about my public position or activity and did not talk about it.”
