News and features

Message from the vice-chancellor: upholding our shared values of mutual respect, support and compassion on campus.

You may be aware that a group of students are currently occupying the grassy area opposite Senate House as a form of protest about the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict. This follows similar protests at universities across the UK and the US in the past few weeks. Our Security Services are working hard to ensure that everyone feels safe on campus.

We understand that the continuing conflict has impacted and continues to impact our University community. Whatever our individual views, it is more important than ever that we uphold our shared values of mutual respect, support and compassion. Every member of our community should feel confident and secure on our campuses. We ask everyone to respect and support each other at this time.

The important principles of freedom of speech and academic freedom are at the heart of our University mission. We encourage and support everyone’s right to express themselves freely and engage in lawful, peaceful protest in line with our agreed protocols. These principles apply, even when there are very different and divergent views. While upholding these fundamental freedoms we also have a responsibility to intervene when an activity prevents the learning or expression of other views, or significantly disrupts the running of the University or the safety of individuals.

I want to stress that, in this context, statements or actions that contravene the law are completely unacceptable. We will not tolerate any form of racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, discrimination, incitement, bullying or harassment at our University. We will respond robustly if this occurs.

I have received messages from, and had many conversations throughout the past year with, student and staff groups, some of whom have called for the University to adopt an institutional position in relation to the ongoing conflict. I understand this request and appreciate that many in our community feel deeply about the situation. Our principles of free expression and academic freedom require us to remain impartial as an institution. Taking a position or stance on this or any other conflict can inhibit members of our community who want to speak their mind. I know this is difficult, and at times uncomfortable, especially when there are strong feelings, hopes and expectations about geopolitical issues. I have to stress that as a university our role is to enable staff and students to express themselves freely, not to become an advocate for one view or another.

In my discussions, I have been clear that our job as a university is to support all those impacted by the conflict and that I will not make any further public statements on the Israel-Gaza conflict. I am committed to ensuring that members of our community are able to express themselves lawfully and, I hope, come to understand each other’s points of view. We will continue to share information on how to get help and support where it is needed.

In my conversations there has also been discussion about ceasing partnerships with companies involved in the defence sector. Our current policy on investments can be found here . In terms of partnerships, we live in a complex and increasingly insecure world with wars taking place in Ukraine and elsewhere, as well as in Israel-Gaza. In discussing our partnerships, we want to be open about whom we work with and why. We will be exploring this in our June Senate meeting and we welcome your views through your representatives on  Senate .

Thank you for everything you do to create a community of respectful debate in which it is possible for all students and staff to express their views and to listen to those of others.

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Astrologers believe that being in a particular zadiac sector of Moscow for a long time, you attract certain energy and events into your life.

Paleontological finds 

Red marble walls of some of the Metro stations hide in themselves petrified inhabitants of ancient seas. Try and find some!
