‘FC Spartak and HSE University have been developing and strengthening their cooperation in recent years. Many of our students have taken internships at Spartak, and gone on to work in the club on a regular basis. Spartak's top managers regularly give master classes at our university. Visits to the club's home ground, which has been recognised as the best stadium in Russia are unforgettable for HSE graduates. I am sure that this cooperation agreement will open a new phase of interaction between this great football club and one of the best young universities in the world. As a Spartak FC fan of 45 years’ standing, it is an honour for me to sign this agreement,’ said Dmitrii Kuznetsov, Director of the Higher School of Law and Administration.
