Let us remind you that Slavic universities – these are universities created on the basis of intergovernmental agreements between the Russian Federation, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, the Republic of Belarus and Tajikistan. They are institutions subordinate to the Russian Ministry of Education and Science and carry out their activities simultaneously in accordance with the legislation of the two states that signed the agreement. Currently, a total of about 20 thousand students study at Slavic universities.
