Russian Pedagogical Institutes vs Universities

[Irena Ustinova]

I don't have any documents with me, but I would disagree that Universities
and high schools can be under the aegis of the same Ministry in Russia. As
far as I know Ministry of Higher education was renamed several times during
the last decade:" Komitet po Vyshemy Obrazovanie", " Komitet po nauke i
vysh. obrz". I think they still have two separate Ministries :  One for
Universities and Academies, another for schools, colleges and Institutes.
