At MSTU. Bauman called US sanctions “recognition of potential”

The introduction of sanctions by the United States against MSTU. N.E. Bauman is recognition of the “scientific and technical potential” of the university. This was stated to RBC by the vice-rector of MSTU. N.E. Bauman for educational work Boris Padalkin.

“The fact that we are included in the sanctions list is recognition of our scientific and technical potential and the high competitiveness of the technical solutions we are developing, as well as the high quality of personnel training for the Russian economy,” said RBC’s interlocutor.

The United States expanded sanctions against individuals and companies from RUSSIA on November 2. Subject to restrictions except MSTU. N.E. Bauman included AFK Sistema, Arctic LNG-2, banks, Russian Standard, Home Credit Bank, Post Bank, Gazprom Neft structures and other organizations.

Earlier in the day, the US Department of Commerce limited the supply of technology to the drone manufacturer ZALA Aero and ten other Russian organizations, since their actions, according to Washington, “contradict the national security or foreign policy interests” of the United States.

Russian authorities consider Western sanctions illegal. In September, Russian President Vladimir Putin said the national economy had recovered from restrictions and the country had withstood an unprecedented "onslaught of sanctions" from unfriendly countries.
