The leading university's formation in education and youth activities by integrating the Moscow state pedagogical university and the sholokhov Moscow state university for the humanities.
In the modern world, the development of the national educational system, the diffusion of modern technologies, and youth activities represent the critical factor of the country's economic and political welfare and the impact of our country at the international level.
The actual trends in the world's educational system (globalization of the market of education, development of technologies of e-learning, such new players in the market as corporate universities, educational corporations and hyper accessibility of the information and increasing mass media and Internet influence in the educational process and so on) form a fundamentally new environment for the development of the Russian educational system and demand its accelerated adaptation to the new situation and new challenges.
In this regard, it would be essential to establish the research university in Russia, whose mission would be active research, experimental and innovative activities in education, and technological work with young people. Moreover, such a university should become a provider of unique educational programs in these areas for the national and international levels, making it a conductor of Russian "soft power" in other countries.
Considering its mission's specific characteristics, it would be more advisable to establish such a research university in Moscow. The university could be built based on the integration of Moscow State Pedagogical University and Sholokhov Moscow State University for Humanities. The analysis of monitoring's results of the effectiveness of 2014 institutes of higher education shows both the mutual supplementation of its potentials in some areas and common problems that can be solved by combining and optimizing its activities.
