Abstract

Russia at the beginning of the twenty-first century has turned into a country of paradoxes. For example, even though society is increasingly dependent on education and science, it is spending less and less on them. As a result, the simple reproduction of the intellectual potential of the country's educational institutions finds itself in jeopardy. This article examines the actual situation in the financing of education in Russia and relates the exploitation of college instructors. The author asserts that economizing at the expense of college instructors can lead to intellectual impoverishment. It can also bring about disrupted continuity, deteriorated specialist training, and less knowledge in society.
