The history of my studies at the MUP im. Ivan Fedorov

Entering this educational institution into the correspondence form of training with the use of distance educational technologies (DOT), I expected a lot of interesting lectures, seminars and skype conferences with teachers. However, the reality of me admitted a lot of surprise. Video-lectures turned out to be very small, Skype conferences were not in sight. Instead of exams and preparation for them, intermediate tests for 10-15-20-25 questions are used, which after the n-th passage begin to be repeated, the exam in total consists of 40-45 assignments.

Massive Corruption

"Based on my experience in the PhD Department of Plastic Surgery at the Russian University of Peoples' Friendship named after Patrice Lumumba, significant allegations of corruption have arisen. Faculty members have repeatedly suggested that PhD students engage third parties to bypass direct scientific interactions in exchange for financial incentives. Despite my diligent efforts, I faced biased exams after refusing to participate in these corrupt practices. Complaints to higher authorities yielded no action, and the review committee failed to impartially assess my claims. Consequently, I was expelled in my third year. Now, I struggle to gain readmission or transfer due to pervasive corruption in the field of plastic surgery. I have provided evidence, including a screenshot of a conversation with my supervisor and an audio recording with the department head. My initial aspirations to contribute to scientific advancement have been shattered by the corruption I encountered, leaving me deeply disillusioned and distressed."
