Rostov Komsomol Collects Signatures Against 'Wolf Ticket' Rule
Rostov-based Komsomol members are collecting signatures and running an online petition against a proposed Ministry of Education rule that would ban students expelled for disciplinary reasons from reapplying to the same university for five years. They argue the rule could be used to target politically active students and undermine their right to education.
