Abstract
The functions performed by universities in the social and economic development of Russia are rapidly evolving due to major changes that are occurring in the political and economic life of the country. Many of the structures and processes that existed in the Soviet period are being replaced. The traditional role of the Russian university as a stronghold of basic education and of scientific research is also evolving in response to new priorities and demands emanating from various sectors of the society.
