"In this chapter we investigate how formal and informal differentiation in Russia's secondary education maintains the inequality of educational opportunities and thereby facilitates the reproduction of social inequalities. Specifically, we study the role of social background in shaping educational success and educational pathways of Russian students. We also disentangle primary and secondary effects of social background, which has not been considered in the earlier literature on inequalities in Russian education. Our empirical investigation is based on the Russian Panel Study of Trajectories in Education and Careers (TrEC)." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
