Manokhin defended his PhD in 2003, according to the Dissernet website. The topic of the dissertation is "Armed formations on the territory of Siberia in the period civil war and military intervention: historiography and source study of the problem". For his scientific work, which was carried out at the Moscow City Institute of Jurisprudence, Manokhin received a Ph.D. historical sciences.
Table of borrowings, compiled by "Dissernet", that the dissertation has been written off almost entirely. Manokhin took as a basis the work of a senior researcher at the Military University of the Ministry of Defense Vitaly Voronov, who defended himself in 1999. Its theme sounds almost the same - "Armed formations on the territory of Siberia during the civil war and military intervention in 1917-1922."
[ : According to the results of an examination conducted by community activists, 171 out of 221 pages of the work contain plagiarism. - Inset K.ru]
Dissernet noted that such large-scale borrowings are rare. “Actually, there is still a rather rare case here. In Dissernet’s internal jargon, this is called a “carbuncle”: this is when the dissertation is blown away entirely, from the first to the last letter, from one source. In essence, this means that a person simply took someone else’s work glued to her title page with his own name and passed it as if it was his own,” Sergey Parkhomenko, one of the founders of the anti-plagiarism community, explained on his Facebook page.
On February 2, 2016, Manokhin was appointed Acting Rector of MSLU (the former Moscow State Pedagogical Institute foreign languages named after Maurice Thorez) head of the Ministry of Education and Science Dmitry Livanov. The ex-rector of the university, Irina Khaleeva, was dismissed from her post due to her age. In 2008-2015, Manokhin was vice-rector for educational and methodological work at MSLU. Prior to that, he served in the Armed Forces and for 10 years headed the Department of Foreign Military Information of the Military University of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
It is worth noting that Livanov does not approve of the activities of the Dissernet organization. In his opinion, check scientific work plagiarism should only experts, not activists. In addition, the head of the Ministry of Education and Science believes that by studying the dissertations of politicians and businessmen, Dissernet is politicizing its activities.
Last week Russian students and their parents watched closely how the situation with non-accreditation was unfolding in one of the country's main universities - the Moscow State Linguistic University (formerly Inyaz named after Maurice Thorez). The story of Inyaz can be revealing.
Silence Month
On March 21, students became aware of the results of the MSLU state certification, which took place on January 11-15, 2016. Several areas of the university did not receive the state "blessing": theology, economics and management, service and tourism, and postgraduate studies in law. Two months before graduation, about two hundred students learned that they would not receive MSLU diplomas. A stormy meeting was held with the participation of acting. Rector Igor Manokhin and the university administration with students and their parents. Despite the fact that the rector forbade the use of a voice recorder at the meeting, the students "recorded" the meeting and posted the recording on the Web. It shows how, for an hour and a half, students tried to get an answer from the acting rector to a simple question: will the university support them in obtaining diplomas from other educational institutions? Students want to get a university degree equal to MSLU in terms of level. Speech, from the point of view of graduates, can be about MGIMO, Russian University of Economics. Plekhanov and Moscow State University, but so far no one has offered them such a choice.
The case of MSLU is certainly not the first when a university does not receive accreditation. But to two months before graduation! This, in my opinion, has never happened before. As a result, there were pickets of students and their parents near MSLU and the Ministry of Education.
The main question that is now of interest to everyone is: why, if it was decided to remove the "non-core" areas, could not this be done in the summer, at the end of the academic year, and let those who entered these areas finish their studies?
Another mystery is why the university learned about this only on March 21, if the certification itself took place on January 11-15, and the order on non-accreditation was issued by Rosobrnadzor on February 26? Why were the "responsible persons" silent for a whole month?
They say
Says a 4th year student of the Institute of Law, Economics and Management MSLU ( asked not to name): “The first sensation from this news is shock. When on February 29 I learned that we had the conclusion of the expert commission, I tried to clarify the issue. The dean's office reassured me, they said that they knew about the document and that, most likely, the accreditation would be passed. Therefore, when Rosobrnadzor published the order on March 17, it was a complete surprise.
Now the administration of the university tells us that there are two options for the development of events. The first is that we stay at the university, but we get a non-state diploma. This means that we will not be able to enter most of the master's programs of other institutions, the path to public service, and some employers may even find fault with the document itself. The second way is to transfer to other universities while maintaining the form of education, payment, course. In addition, and.about. the rector said that for students studying for money, the issue of reimbursement of fees will be resolved on a compensatory basis. The only thing we would like from the leadership: closer contact with us, a more open position, so that the leadership would protect our interests.”
Teacher's opinion
MSLU teachers agreed to communicate with the press only on condition of anonymity.
— This whole story with accreditation unfolds against the backdrop of changes taking place at the university. On February 5, 2016, in accordance with the amendments made to the university charter in the fall, according to which the rector is now not elected, but appointed, an order was issued to appoint Igor Manokhin as acting rector; the day before, on February 4, on the day of her 70th birthday, Irina Khaleeva, rector of Moscow State Linguistic University since 1986, was notified that she was fired, the teachers say.
The new rector does not meet the job qualification requirements: the head of the university must have academic title associate professor, at least Igor Manokhin is not one. He is a graduate of the Sverdlovsk Higher Military-Political Tank Artillery School and the Military University (Department of Psychology). Students are interested: how can a person who does not know a single foreign language act as the rector of a linguistic university?
From the Soviet model Inyaz im. Maurice Thorez, who was involved in the training of teachers and translators, during the years of Irina Khaleeva's rectorship came to the model of a university that graduates specialists of various profiles with knowledge of foreign languages. We teach a number of disciplines in a foreign language, and this is very attractive for a future employer. Therefore, the current situation with non-accreditation is a problem not only of diplomas, but also of the approach to higher education in general. Of course, you can study law and economics at other universities, but subject disciplines with a deep knowledge of languages are given only at MSLU and MGIMO.
Who is guilty?
In comments and meetings with students, Igor Manokhin blames the previous leadership for what happened. We met with Irina Khaleeva, former rector of MSLU, and asked her to comment on these claims.
— During the period of preparation for accreditation, Manokhin served as Vice-Rector for academic work, but shortly before the certification he received an extraordinary vacation and urgently quit after his graduation, without starting work. Meanwhile, preparation for accreditation was his official duty, - says Irina Khaleeva. - Manokhin calls the reason for non-accreditation a sudden change curricula. But there were no such changes.
The comments talk about profile and non-profile. But, for example, journalism is also “non-core”. However, she was accredited. When we changed the name from an institute to a university, we conceived it as an international institution that develops programs related to intercultural communication, and all our specialists graduated with two foreign languages. The competition for these specialties reached 40 people per place. Economics students listened to lectures by world-class foreign economists. I believe that students and their parents should sue, not against the university, but against the organization that conducted the examination. The non-accreditation order is illegal, because the administration of the university was not notified of what shortcomings the examination revealed.
After the appointment of Manokhin acting. the rector, a group of his new deputies from law enforcement agencies came to the university. One was in charge of the police school, the other was the former general director of MegaFon, the third was a lieutenant colonel who had not yet retired from the Armed Forces. The university is run by a team of non-professionals. They fire those who worked with me - they send notifications about changes in staffing.
Officially
From the answer of the head of the legal department of MSLU V. Gavrilin to the editorial request:
According to the results of the inspection of FGBOU HE "MGLU" by the commission of Rosobrnadzor, conducted in January 2016, groups of professions, specialties and areas of training were not accredited vocational education— economics and management, service and tourism, theology. To our regret, the former management of FGBOU VO "MGLU" did not properly prepare for the upcoming accreditation. The result of this omission was the order of Rosobrnadzor on the non-accreditation of the above groups.<…>
At present, in accordance with the recommendations of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the leadership of the Moscow State Linguistic University prepared and sent letters to the leading specialized universities in Moscow with a request to admit students of professions, specialties and areas of professional education - economics and management, service and tourism , theology for further study.<…>
Press Service of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation:
“First of all, it should be noted that all decisions made by Rosobrnadzor regarding the deprivation of accreditation are not unexpected for the universities themselves. Such acts come into force after a sufficiently long period of time, after repeated inspections, so that the university has the opportunity to carry out all the necessary measures while respecting the rights of each student.
The legislation has an effective mechanism that protects the rights of students in such situations: in the event of deprivation of a university of accreditation, the management of the university is obliged to ensure the transfer of each student to another university in a similar field of study (with a similar tuition fee, if the student studied on a paid basis), and the founder the university, in turn, should follow this procedure.
The Ministry monitors the observance of the rights of students in all Russian universities and, of course, performs all the duties of a founder in situations where such transfers occur in universities subordinate to the Ministry.
So, economics students from Moscow State Linguistic University were offered a transfer to the Russian University of Economics. Plekhanov on the same conditions of study<…>».

According to the Dissernet project, this work is a 100% plagiarism of Vitaly Nikolaevich Voronov's doctoral dissertation on the topic "Armed formations on the territory of Siberia during the civil war and military intervention in 1917-1922", defended in 1999 at the Military University:
There is still a rather rare case here. In Dissernet's internal jargon, this is called a "carbuncle": this is when the dissertation is blown away entirely, from the first to the last letter, from one source. In essence, this means that a person simply took someone else's work, pasted a title page with his name on it and handed it in as if it were his own.
In 2008-2015 - Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs [ ] V
The Ministry of Education and Science continues to change the leadership of leading universities. On Tuesday it became known that the head of the Moscow State Linguistic University (MSLU) Igor Manokhin left his post. And about. Dean of the Faculty of English of the university Irina Kraeva was appointed the rector. According to Kommersant's information, the appointment divided the MSLU faculty into two camps. Earlier, the Ministry of Education and Science changed the rectors of the two main pedagogical universities countries.
The Ministry of Education and Science did not renew the contract with i. O. Rector MSLU Igor Manokhin, who headed the university in February 2016 by decision of the previous Minister of Education and Science Dmitry Livanov. The new leadership of the department appointed and. O. Rector of Moscow State Linguistic University, who previously held the post of Dean of the Faculty of English at the University of Candidate of Philological Sciences Irina Kraeva. The press service of the Ministry of Education and Science confirmed to Kommersant the fact of the change of the rector, without specifying the reasons why the decision was made. The department said that the date of the election of the rector has not yet been determined.
Elizaveta Kondakova, head of the MSLU press service, told Kommersant that she left this post on Tuesday, new head has not yet been appointed, which means that the university cannot provide official comments. Ms Kraeva was unavailable for comment. "The decision is made by the founder of the university, they (the founder of the university is the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.— "b") they do what they want,” Igor Manokhin told Kommersant. he left the post, was not.
Mr. Manokhin has the rank of colonel, in 1986 he graduated from the Sverdlovsk Higher Military-Political Tank Artillery School, and before joining MSLU for ten years he was the dean of the foreign military information department of the Military University of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Despite the fact that Igor Manokhin headed MSLU for only one year, he found himself at the center of scandals several times. So, immediately after his appointment, the Dissernet community announced numerous borrowings in Mr. Manokhin's PhD thesis. "The dissertation has been blown away entirely, from the first to the last letter, from one source," Sergei Parkhomenko, one of the founders of the community, noted at the time. In March 2016, it became known that almost 200 MSLU graduates were at risk of being left without state diplomas due to the deprivation of MSLU of accreditation in a number of areas of training. After the intervention of the Ministry of Education and Science, agreements were reached on the transfer of students to other universities. In September, the staff of one of the leading schools in the capital, the pre-university MSLU, announced "undermining educational process"administration of the university. As Kommersant reported, the leadership of the Moscow State Linguistic University, in turn, assured that it was the "unprofessionalism of the school principal" that was to blame.
According to a source familiar with the situation, the reaction of the teaching staff to the appointment is the opposite: “Some are happy with the information that, after the change of leadership, the vice-rectors and employees of the rector’s office who left them with the arrival of Manokhin will return to their posts, while others fear that the changes adversely affect the life of the university. MSLU associate professor Mikhail Zagot, in an interview with Kommersant, noted that "now no one knows how the appointment will affect the life of the university, Irina Kraeva is a person from the inside, and not appointed from somewhere - as an optimist, I will believe that it will get better."
Recall that in the fall of 2016, the Ministry of Education and Science unexpectedly changed the leadership of the two leading pedagogical universities of the country. On October 14, the department appointed a new and. O. rector in St. Petersburg Pedagogical University named after Herzen - he was a native of St. Petersburg State University Sergei Bogdanov. A week later, the head of the Moscow Pedagogical state university(MSGU) Alexey Semenov. November 22 from the Ministry of Education and Science to the post and. O. Rector of Moscow State Pedagogical University came Alexei Lubkov. Rectors in Russian universities chooses academic council educational institution. Then this decision is approved by the Ministry of Education and Science.
