One of the most authoritative Russian grantors has supported young scientists from the SFU Law Institute.

The Russian Humanitarian Scientific Council’s decision supported the project made by the young scientists from the SFU Law Institute: “Corruption in the Russian election process: concept, forms and countermeasures.”


The project was made under supervision of the head of the Criminology and Tort Chair, PhD, Professor Nickolay V. Schedrin. The young scientists participating in such an urgent and complicated issue research are members of different Institute chairs, namely Criminology and Tort chair (a senior lecturer, Irina A. Ziryanova and assistants: Sergey D. Krasnousov and Natalia V. Khlonova), the Criminal law chair (an assistant Maria A. Damm), the Theory of State and Law chair (a senior lecturer, a candidate of legal science, Alexander A. Petrov).

Notably, the project has sustained a considerable competition. 9313 scientific projects were submitted to the Russian Humanitarian Scientific Council and have been assessed by more than 1700 highly qualified professionals – Doctors of legal science from state academies, capital and regional scientific centers, and higher education institutions. That is why our young scientists’ victory is of great importance for our Institute.

Congratulations to our winners!
