EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in Russia ranked based on their research performance in Theoretical Physics. A graph of 327K citations received by 27.1K academic papers made by 55 universities in Russia was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
