“The position of the rector of a large university means serious personal requirements. Leadership, the ability to lead, charisma, a deep understanding of human psychology are needed. Ability to communicate with a variety of people. He is endowed with all of this and a similar unique combination of qualities led to the fact that we had the brightest rector in recent years, ”Tolstikov said.
According to him, under Falkov, the university has changed qualitatively.
“With him, an individualization of instruction was introduced, now students can form their own routes, this is a revolutionary phenomenon for us,” Tolstikov explained.
According to the vice-rector, Falkov took place both as a researcher and as an administrator.
“He himself is a constitutional jurist from the school of Gennady Chebotarev, who wrote the first Russian constitution. At the same time, he showed that he can also solve complex managerial tasks. For example, when they created a scientific and educational center in the Tyumen region, one of the first RECs in the country, he showed that he could negotiate with a huge number of partners from various fields. These are academic science, applied institutions that are not related to the RAS, and business partners. It was impossible not to pay attention to his energy, drive, during the formation of the REC, ”Tolstikov recalls.
