Abstract
The consequences of demographic revolutions influence the number of potential university applicants and higher education accessibility in Russia. An analysis of current demographic trends, at a time when the number of universities is shrinking, shows a threat of decreasing access to higher education, coupled with high regional differentiation in the availability of education, likely to worsen as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and current economic crisis. The percentage of individuals aged 25 to 64 enrolled in tertiary education ranks fourth in the world, behind only South Korea, Japan, and Canada.
