History

Rent a business center in St. Petersburg for the Faculty of Computer Science
The National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE) rented a business center with an area of 22 thousand square meters in the building of the Cable Shop of the Red Nail Worker plant on Vasilyevsky Island in St. Petersburg. This became known on September 24, 2024. This space will house the Faculty of Physical, Mathematical and Computer Science, the School of Design and the educational program "Media Communications." The training center will accommodate more than 4 thousand students, which will make it an important educational and scientific hub in the region.
This transaction was the first in the history of the commercial real estate market in St. Petersburg, where a higher educational institution became the tenant of a class A office building. Director of Corporate Services and Sales at Maris Nelly Aleinikova, who acted as a landlord, confirmed the deal lasted more than 12 months. The main reason for such a long process was the high requirements of the Higher School of Economics for the object - not only in terms of technical characteristics, but also its historical and cultural value.
The building of the Rope Shop with a water tower, built in 1929-1930, is one of the significant examples of industrial architecture in the constructivism style. It received the protected status of an object of cultural heritage of regional significance in 2014. The historical value of the building and its location played a key role in the HSE's choice of this particular business center. It is important that the owner of the building agreed to carry out modernization, adapting it to the needs of the educational institution and creating all the necessary conditions for educational activities.
Yulia Vorobyova, Deputy Director of the Corporate Services and Sales Department of Maris, noted that the HSE, together with Maris, considered many objects, but it was the Cable Shop that turned out to be the best solution due to the combination of architectural value and the readiness of the building owner to invest in its improvement.[1]

At the same time, a system of HSE scientific centers is being created, focused on applied research on the orders of the Ministry of Economy, the Central Bank, the Ministry of Education and Science, commercial enterprises and banks.
By this time, we can say that the principles of the School were formed, settled:
- reliance on the requirements of world economic and social science;
- interdisciplinary interaction (economists receive a law degree, and vice versa);
- direct connection of teaching with reform practice, with the results of applied research;
- educational mission in the educational community of Russia, in its regions.
Political activity in the School is prohibited. Educators have the right to draw any conclusions, to uphold socialist, Keynesian or liberal principles, if their arguments are based on modern theoretical analysis of factors.
1992: Establishment of the Higher School of Economics
The Higher School of Economics was established by the Decree of the Government of Russia on November 27, 1992, initially as a master's training center.
The starting period was marked by intensive "teacher training": R. Entov taught the entire team of teachers - mainly former employees of academic institutions and Moscow State University - a course on the nodal problems of economic theory, and G. Kantorovich updated their knowledge of mathematics. Since 1993, HSE teachers have regularly trained at leading European universities.
The principle of the School from the first day of its existence is a combination of strict, even cruel training with the discussion and solution of the burning problems of the Russian economy. HSE professors were leading economists who worked in the Government - E. Yasin, A. Shokhin, S. Vasiliev, J. Urinson, V. Kosov, E. Gavrilenkov, M. Kopeikin, V. Baranov.
1991: L. Abalkin and E. Gaidar support the idea of creating a new university
In 1991, Yevgeny Yasin and Yaroslav Kuzminov, with the very active help of L. Abalkin and E. Gaidar, began to "break through" the concept of a new state university. Initially, he thought at the Department of Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
1990: Alternative Departments of Economic Theory at MIPT and Moscow State University
The idea of the School was born at the turn of 1980-1990, when it became clear that the existing system of economic education in the country did not meet the requirements of the new political and economic situation. Then a group of teachers from the Faculty of Economics of Moscow State University - Evgeny Yasin, Yaroslav Kuzminov, Revold Entov, Oleg Ananyin, Rustem Nureyev - after several attempts to introduce the foundations of "normal" economic theory into the curricula of existing universities realized the need to build a new economic school, which from the very beginning would be based on the principles of world economic science. This meant providing students with tools for analyzing and predicting real processes, teaching them to work with statistics and economic models, and giving them a common language with the world community of professional economists.
The first real attempt to create the School can be considered alternative departments of economic theory, organized at MIPT (1989-1990) and at the physical and historical faculties of Moscow State University (1990-1991). Students could choose between courses taught by young teachers, yesterday's economics graduates, and traditional political economy. Many of those who later made up the HSE backbone went through the school of these departments. The methodology of teaching economic theory in a country with a transitional economy was also worked out there.
Traditions
Crow
The crow has been considered a symbol of the Higher School of Economics for many years. It was invented by the artist Anna Arenstein, who in 1996 illustrated a new information booklet about Vyshka. Now the crow can be found on any HSE souvenir, it has also become a symbol of the university's annual awards.

Prize winners are determined by voting results and receive a golden raven statuette.
Cast Iron Egg Student Award
In 2004, HSE students established their annual award. This is how the eternal question was answered: what happened before - a bird or an egg? "Cast iron egg" celebrates the best student projects and achievements in various directions - from sports to charity.
Day of the Tower
Timed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of HSE in 2012, this holiday for the first time united both Freshman Day, the alumni meeting, and open days of various HSE faculties. And since the entire event was held outdoors in Gorky Park, HSE Day became a truly urban holiday, open to everyone.
