According to the tradition established in ancient times, each year a rating of higher educational institutions of the world is compiled. In essence, such a register can be called a brochure. The Russian Higher School of Economics was established in 1992. The first and still irreplaceable rector of this educational institution is Yaroslav Kuzminov.
Brief curriculum vitae
According to personal data, Yaroslav Ivanovich Kuzminov was born on May 26, 1957 in an intelligent family. Parents lived in the capital. Father, one of the oldest members of the CPSU, doctor of economic sciences, gave lectures to students of the Higher Party School and other educational institutions. A child from a young age grew up and was brought up in abundance. He studied at an elite school. He watched with his own eyes how the Soviet elite lives, what the people of his circle dream of and what goals they set for themselves in the future.
Kuzminov’s biography developed according to classical patterns. In 1974, the young man received a certificate of maturity and entered the economic department of the famous Moscow State University. Five years later, he received a diploma and got a job as a teacher at the Department of the History of National Economy. The young teacher successfully combined classes with students and research. In 1985, Kuzminov defended his thesis on community relations in the national economy.
Creation of a new school of economics
At the beginning of the 90s, after the liquidation of the Soviet Union, the demand for specialists in a market economy and the organization of commercial structures increased sharply in the country. To get a quality education, young people had to go abroad. The titanic efforts of Yaroslav Kuzminov initiative group held preparatory activities and formed a pact of constituent documents. By a government decree of November 27, 1992, the Russian Higher School of Economics (HSE) was established, and Kuzminov was approved by the rector.
The new educational structure has developed dynamically. Specialists from various fields of knowledge came to the walls of the HSE to implement their projects. Creativity and a non-standard approach were welcome here. Of course, it is very difficult to break the established habits and stereotypes overnight. For the rector, it remains a very important area of work to combat corruption, defamation and nepotism.
