Who We Are
- Marina KalashnikovaDean of FLAS. Ph.D. in philology, founder
of the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences
at the Moscow School of Social and Economic Sciences (MSSES, or Shaninka), dean (till 2022)“I have been working with liberal arts
and sciences programs since 2006.
So I also helped to open such a faculty
at MSSES (Shaninka). This gave me hope that we were doing a wonderful and useful thing, but, unfortunately, these programs have been going through difficult times recently. We consider choice very important in education.
So we would like to show students
in Montenegro different learning
formats and let them be co-authors
of the curriculum. We expect all students
who are ready to share responsibility
for their studies with us, want to study
in an international environment, and can set educational goals for themselves. And we will support them all the way.
We have a lot of experience and the best teaching staff for this." - Andrei FetisovCo-founder and head of FLAS in Montenegro. Head of the School of Media Communications
at the Institute of Social Sciences of the Russian Presidential Academy (ISS RANEPA), 2012-2022“The opening of Liberal Arts programs
in Russia in recent years and their popularity show that modern students need this model. I hope that there will
be no less interest in the Liberal Arts program in the Balkans. And I am sure that our team, together with the students, will create the future without imposing it on anyone. FLAS will help all our graduates to find and determine their personal paths and form an image of the future of their generation, regardless
of which countries they will have to live and work in.” - Vladimir ShmelevCo-founder of FLAS. Head of the Adriatic School network, founder of the Edumonte educational company, co-founder of the Pristanište Refugee Charity Foundation“Montenegro is a country that conceals huge and often underestimated opportunities. I am sincerely glad
to contribute to the development
of education here. I hope that our faculty will become a place that unites the best teachers and interested students,
a place where academic knowledge
is filled with the spirit of freedom.
I share the idea of the Liberal Arts model, in which students first obtain a broad education, and then determine their individual trajectories based on their interests. Looking back, I regret that during my studies at the university,
I did not have the opportunity to study
at such a faculty.” - Ljubomir FilipovićMontenegrin political scientist,
co-founder of FLAS"Liberal education is an important element of any country's development. I believe that the emergence of the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Sciences is a great opportunity for Montenegro to become
a new center of free education on the map of Europe. There is now a highly professional team of teachers and administrators in our country. They have many years of experience in the liberal arts system and are ready to share it. This collaboration can become an important contribution to both the educational and social fields." - Marina BraginaPhilologist, coordinator of FLAS“Once in this project and its team, I often think how great it would have been to enroll in Liberal Arts back in the day! Students don't have to struggle to freely choose their track and make choices, and the teaching staff is always there to help them find their educational path.
I believe that together we will allow students from different countries to study in the Liberal Arts model in Montenegro.” - Alexander ZaritskySociologist, FLAS teacher"One's relationship with the outside world rests on two directly opposite pillars: curiosity and fear. The new, the unknown, and the other can fascinate and capture us, but at the same time they puzzle, alarm, and disgust us. No development, including personal and professional, is possible unless this fear is overcome.
A university built on the principle of liberal arts is an ideal environment for getting
rid of fear. You freely choose from a wide range of courses that are not limited
to one profession or scientific discipline, while simultaneously mastering very diverse skills and ideas.” - Natalia KrasovskayaHead of the tutor support department of FLAS. The author and the developer of the tutor support system for liberal arts programs at Russian universities (MSSES, RANEPA)."I worked for 14 years in the team that created the faculty and the RANEPA Liberal Arts program from scratch and was a deputy dean and senior lecturer at the MSSES (Shaninka) and RANEPA.
I developed and implemented a system of tutor support for bachelors, which we will improve for the new faculty in Montenegro. Every student needs the opportunity to choose their educational path, and at the right moment, there must be a professional tutor who can help in making important decisions. At FLAS, each student will have such an option." - Ksenia LuchenkoJournalist, Ph.D. in philology, former Dean
of the Faculty of Media Communications
of the MSSES ("Shaninka") and Head of the Department of Theory and Practice of Media Communications at RANEPA, member of the FLAS working group"Montenegro and the Balkans, in general, seem to be an ideal place
for the development of liberal education. There is romance here, and a sense of openness to the whole world, like you can reach any place.
The Balkans can become a launching pad for many students from Eastern Europe and other countries. Life is in full swing here, and many new projects are emerging in various fields. It is the bachelor's model of Liberal Arts and Sciences that perfectly corresponds to the place, time, and tasks which young people set themselves in tough times. We have assembled a team of super professionals passionate about their scientific research and extensive experience in teaching, creating their schools, and working with students." - Diliara IbragimovaDeputy Dean of FLAS. Sociologist, Ph.D. in history. For 15 years, the Head of the Master's program "Applied Methods of Social Analysis of Markets" and the Department of Economic Sociology at HSE University."I'm pleased to be part of the FLAS team, engaged in the challenging endeavor of founding a university. This institution, centered on freedom and creativity, reflects current trends in education. In the modern world, education transcends the mere transfer of knowledge; it's a dynamic dialogue shaping worldview and critical thinking, fostering individuality. The Liberal Arts model, embracing the right to make mistakes, offers diverse opportunities for forging one's path.
Initially drawn to history, I once found myself lacking a solid foundation and encountered unexpected challenges. Fortuitously, Academician I. Kovalchenko introduced me to cliometrics, a method bridging history and mathematics. My interest led to defending my thesis and a seamless transition to sociology.
I wholeheartedly believe in our project, uniting like-minded individuals. We eagerly anticipate collaborating with students to collectively shape the future."

Reviews
- Hello! Today I would like to share my opinion about an educational program, one of the first students of which I happened to be.
The Foundation Liberal Arts Montenegro program is a three-
month course that gives an idea of what the Liberal Arts & Sciences model is.
The choice of subjects and activities on the course is quite diverse and, it seems to me, everyone, regardless of their area of interest, will be able to make a suitable set for themselves. It is also worth mentioning the bright and serious teaching staff. My impression after completing the program is extremely positive. Despite the organizational difficulties at the first stage of the course launch, thanks to the diligent work of teachers and coordinators, I did not notice any damage to the educational process.
Among other things, I am very inspired by the idea of FLAS as a kind of "island" of liberal education in the Balkans using the Russian language. If you share the values of free education and are ready to try the Liberal Arts model, I recommend you to enroll in this program. It is quite extraordinary for the post-Soviet space. At the same time, you can enjoy all the advantages of living on the picturesque and climatically ideal Adriatic coast!
Ivan Demidova student of the Liberal Arts Foundation program. Fall 2022. - Hello! My name is Milana, and I was lucky enough to become one
of the first students in the Liberal Arts & Sciences Foundation program in Montenegro. I took a couple of courses that were included in the Foundation program of the future Faculty: Montenegrin language and Modern Balkans.
I was very satisfied with both of them, as well as with the training on the program as a whole. They were led by wonderful, responsive teachers, whose classes were always interesting. Most of all,
I appreciated the flexibility of the system and the opportunity
to build a more individual learning trajectory taking into account the students' interests. I also liked that the format of the classes was close to seminars. Special thanks to the program coordinators who helped students to settle in Montenegro during their first weeks there and met their needs in solving problems that arose!

give up and do only what we really want to do in life.
So we want to:

So we want to:
- create an ideal university taking into account our past successes and mistakes.

- organize in Montenegro a platform for researchers and scientists from all over the world where they could meet, exchange experiences, and create the future together.

State Accreditation
The Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences (FLAS) has been granted state accreditation in Montenegro, as per the decision of the Montenegro Agency for Higher Education Quality Assurance. According to FLAS Dean Marina Kalashnikova, state accreditation is a prerequisite for students to receive a comprehensive education, an official document — a bachelor’s diploma — and pursue further studies or employment in Montenegro, Europe, or any other global destination.
Montenegro, a participant in the Bologna Process, ensures that the credit units and diplomas earned by FLAS students align with international standards. Graduates are poised to either work or continue their education in Europe and beyond.
Notably, FLAS is the first independent higher education institution established by Russian educators in exile to secure state accreditation in the host country. It also marks the inception of the first Liberal Arts and Sciences faculty in the Western Balkans region.
FLAS comprises six majors: Digital Humanities, Social Theory and Sociological Research, Media Studies and Journalism, Art History, Cross-Cultural Linguistics, and New Political Science. Leading these educational programs will be Dina Gagarina, Victor Vakshtain, Nadezhda Chamina, Ksenia Luchenko, Vasily Zharkov, and Elena Shmeleva, among others.
Dean Marina Kalashnikova, a philologist and a pioneer of liberal education in Russia, has played a pivotal role. She developed the federal state standard for the field of “Arts and Humanities” of the 3rd generation. For 12 years, she worked initially at the Smolny Institute of St. Petersburg State University (since 2011—Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences) and later, from 2020 to 2022, headed the Liberal Arts faculty at the Institute of Social Sciences of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA) and inaugurated the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences at MSSES (Shaninka).
The co-founders of FLAS include Montenegrin political scientist Lyubomir Filipovich, founder of the educational company Edumonte Vladimir Shmelev, and Andrey Fetisov (until 2022—Director of the School of Media Communications at the Institute of Social Sciences, RANEPA).
In March 2022, the Moscow Prosecutor’s Office decided that education based on the Liberal Arts model was “aimed at undermining traditional values” and contradicts the “national security strategy of the Russian Federation.” All three Liberal Arts faculties operating in Russia underwent censorship and were transformed into a “broad bachelor’s degree” (an educational model nonexistent anywhere in the world). Subsequently, Russia announced its withdrawal from the Bologna Process. In the year following the onset of the conflict with Ukraine, hundreds of educators, researchers, and education administrators left Russia, with some continuing their work at FLAS in Montenegro.
