The Military and Higher Education in the USSR

Abstract

The military dimension of the Soviet higher-educational system is difficult to explore because of the striking scarcity of published evidence. There is a military presence at all universities and higher-educational institutes. It takes diverse forms, including special military departments and an elaborate system for the military-patriotic education of students. Research is undertaken for defense-related clients, although such research represents a modest share of the total military research and development effort. In general, the relationship with the military is harmonious, but this tradition of harmony, reflecting broader social attitudes toward the military in Soviet society, has come under strain in recent years as a result of changes in conscription policy. In the new conditions of glasnost , discontents have been able to find open expression and this may remain the pattern for the future.
