Abstract
In this paper, a comparative analysis of the socio-economic activities of the University of Dubna (7000 people) and the Russian State University for the Humanities (38500) was carried out on the basis of unique data extracted from the VKontakte network with the help of original software. The structure and temporal dynamics of a number of indicators are studied: the students demographics; the geography of the students arrival, the distribution of studying directions in terms of gender. Differences in the development of regional and Moscow HEI revealed during the analysis are discussed. In conclusion, the prospects for the development of the methodology are disclosed.
