The Free University (educational project) was founded in Russia in August 2020 by a group of prominent scholars from the National Research University "Higher School of Economics" (NRU HSE), whose contract the university refused to renew for the next academic year, mostly for political reasons. Teachers announced the launch of an independent educational project, free from administrative pressure and censorship.
As the initiators of the project, professors of the NRU HSE's School of Philosophy Viktor and Yulia Gorbatov, and professor of the NRU HSE's Faculty of Law Elena Lukyanova, stated, they see their task as “building the university anew, freeing teachers from any administrative dictate. If a university can no longer be free, then a new free university is needed”[1][2]
In 2022, with the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, most of the teaching staff left Russia.
In March 2023, the Russian Prosecutor General's Office declared the Free University an "undesirable organization" [3]
