Hello Daria,

It’s possible that you don’t want a correction of your text but an answer, so here is mine: it's interesting that the level of academic education in Russia is pretty low, if you compare it to the ones in other countries.

Here’s what the two most prominent world university rankings say about the best Russian universities:
Moscow State University is ranked only 77th and Saint Petersburg State University is between rank 303 and 401.

Lomonosov Moscow State University is ranked 155th and Saint Petersburg State University is ranked 168th.
