A question prompted by the post below:

How is Israel in the West Bank different in any way from the Soviet policy back in the Soviet era of settling Russians in non-Russophone territory or the Chinese Sinicizations of Tibet and Uighurstan? 

It's a simple question, which will no doubt product convoluted and complex answers.

USSR policy was in introduction of POLITICALLY right people (of all backgrounds) to new areas to take control of the political, educational, and economic processes

in underdeveloped regions with little infrastructure that meant simple introduction of new services, in well developed regions that meant forced removal of old and replacement with new

Just one? With so many schools? TSU is not a top school, sorry to inform you. Look in google scholar if you don't believe me.

I gave you one example that I know personally. TSU used to be one of top Soviet schools.

But if it really matters for you, check transcripts of people who graduated from Kiev State, Alma-Ata State, etc

Kiev State was bilingual? I doubt this very much. Alma-Ata State is on the same level with TSU.
