The Higher School of Economics (HSE) in Moscow has launched the 'Service + Education' program, offering full tuition coverage for 100 individuals willing to serve in the Russian drone forces or 'BARS-Moscow'. Participants can study at HSE's Moscow campus, regional branches, or online, with the university funding their education from its own budget. The program aims to recruit students who may not have otherwise had access to higher education, particularly those who did not achieve high scores on the EGE. However, critics argue that the contract terms may not guarantee a one-year service as claimed, and there are concerns about potential deployment to combat zones.
