  • Summary

    Before 1991, the now independent nations had a common university system, structure and philosophy guided by the ideas of a planned economy and direct State control. The dissolution of the Soviet Union brought about a unique opportunitie for post-Soviet universities. However, they had to face if not overcome the Soviet legacy. This chapter explores that legacy. To understand univeristy governance’s current structure and the extent to which these structures evolved in common and uncommon ways, it is crucial to understand the Soviet context and its legacies impacting higher education. History shapes organizational structures but also organizational identities.
