Russian authorities have labeled the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences (FLAS) in Montenegro as an "undesirable" organization, according to data obtained by Mediazona. The faculty was established in 2023 by former educators from the Moscow School of Social and Economic Sciences, commonly referred to as Shaninka. FLAS obtained government accreditation in Montenegro in 2024, marking it as the first independent institution of higher education founded by Russian instructors in exile to receive such recognition in its host country.
Marina Kalashnikova, who served as the dean of Shaninka's Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences, currently leads FLAS.
