摘要：AbstractThe purpose of this study is to analyze the contemporary politics of Russian universities in the development of human capital. On the basis of the analysis of statistical data, questionnaire, content analysis and comparative analysis it was established that in the Russian higher education three tendencies dominate: 1. The higher education loses function of the social elevator for all comers to study; 2. New educational strategy seeks the development of Russia, passing from export natural minerals to the development of high technologies; 3. Student associations are activated as social actors. There is a phenomenon of a misbalance in the orientations of the development of universities.
