Abstract

In this chapter, we use statistical data and surveys to show differences in access to educational resources and the quality of the academic achievements of students living in different regions of Russia. We demonstrate that behind the benign indicators of inclusion (academic and social) used for international comparisons, there may be noticeable intra-country imbalances. Using Russia as a case, we argue for the need to consider intra-country differences in international comparative studies and the obligation to consider the diversity of conditions within countries when implementing policies and inclusion and justice.
