In January 2014, a deputy of the Riga Duma, Ruslan Pankratov, asked the President of Russia to intervene in the situation with the Riga branch of MESI - Moscow State University of Economics, Statistics and Informatics. Immediately after assuming the post of director, he conducted an audit of the branch entrusted to him, which not only revealed gross violations of the legislation of the Republic of Latvia, but also raised suspicions of embezzlement of 860,000 euros from the federal state budget of the Russian Federation.

As soon as the management of the head university of MESI became aware of the appeal, all debts with all penalties from October last year were repaid, and even the rent of educational premises for a month in advance was paid. The classrooms opened their doors, teachers and students resumed their studies. Almost immediately, MESI Rector Natalya Tikhomirova signed an order to dismiss R. Pankratov from office with the wording “in connection with improper performance of official duties”. ^[7]
