You created a new entry ( List of universities in Russia) and added a few links to it from various places. You need to be aware of the differences in the Russian educational system which may create problems with the term University. The majority of xUSSR educational institutions are not Universities in the US sence. They used to be called Institute of this or that technology. They usually offer M.S. and Ph.D. equivalents in a single field only, usually technology. For example there is Institute of Railroad Transportation, offering M.S. and Ph.D. in Mech. Eng. for Railroads (yes, M.S. is THAT specific). Probably 90% or more of all University-level education is carried out in places like that. The schools were renamed Universities recently, but they still remain Institutes of Technology.
I think a disclaimer like the one above should be placed on the page or an article should be named differently.
Far Eastern State Technical University (FESTU) is different from Far Eastern State University (or National university as these silly people call themselves now in English even though the Russian name has not changed). They have always been separate, they have separate locations, and they in fact consider themselves competitors. If you need their website addresses, let me know.
FENU has always been a university, and FESTU became a university fairly recently. This is one university that fits into the second section of the article perfectly.
Vladivostok State University of Economics is different. While it used to be a technological institute, it grew tremendousy in the past several years. The range of degrees it now offers easily rivals the range offered by the FENU, so I moved it back into the first section.-- Ezhiki 18:20, Jun 22, 2004 (UTC)
What about other higher educational institutions? For example, academias?-- Nixer 18:25, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
In Russia there is no defference between university, institute, academy or some higher shool. So why only universities listed? Can we say for example Phystech is university just as Caltech is said to be iniversity in its article?-- Nixer 18:57, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Dudes -- what's up with that? There are more links, on this list, to pages that don't exist than there are to ones that do. Why? Sugarbat ( talk) 21:30, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
What is so special about education in Siberia that it has to be listed separately? Why don't we have chapters called "Education in European Russia", "Education in Far East" etc? 193.11.232.250 ( talk) 17:18, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
