Abstract
Massification is not a new phenomenon for the Russian higher education system. The 20th century witnessed several periods when the number of higher education institutions grew substantially, and higher education enrollment rates were expanding with improved access for more social groups. Higher education is an important means of social mobility, and the issue of access to higher education was always essential in a country where the structure of society was subject to state planning and control.
