In March 2020, 60 percent of Russian universities provided distant learning without major interruptions. Another quarter of higher education institutions offered studying from home, but experienced occasional problems. The country's education ministry recommended all universities to switch to distance learning as a preventive measure against the spread coronavirus (COVID-19). Mail.ru Group offered technical assistance with switching to online learning to universities.
