Over a 6-year period of my studying at the Higher school of Economics I have made sure that it`s exactly the right place if you are looking for a modern, true and honest education.

For me the graduate school of the National research University "Higher school of Economics" is a necessary condition to constitute yourself as an eminently qualified specialist. 

It is difficult to talk about any further research or teaching career without this very important stage of personal and professional development. 

Due to the rational stereotype of the educational "ladder": bachelor-master-Ph.D, a decision and motivation to attend a graduate school is usually based and taken spontaneosly. However, it is not the way I approached viewing my need for graduate education. 

Attendance to the graduate school is a personal challenge for me. It is a huge honor to  study under the best specialists of the academia and to work side by side with the masters of the Russian marketing. It is a personal challenge to bring a noticeable contribution to the national science and to enhance the reputation of our country in the international world scene. 

As we all know, the challenge thrown down to yourself is the most sincere. The journey to go throw it is the most desirable, and the efforts, required for its realization, are unlimited and boundless.
