Russia has a worrying high amount of universities. On top of the 665 state owned universities there are 450 private civilian university-level institutions licensed by the Ministry of Education, with over 625.000 faculties. In 2008 president Dmitry Medvedev said: "This amount does not exist anywhere else in the world; it may be over the top even for China. The consequences are clear: devaluation of education standards."
