The image and interests of the university were severely damaged.

Based on the established facts regarding the fact that Alexandrov's actions do not correspond to the status of an MSIIR employee, as well as Alexandrov's extreme neglect of his official duties, the rector signed an order to terminate the employment relationship and expel M. Alexandrov from the Institute," said the information released by the MSIIR.
