In this chapter, I show that despite the gradual securitization of the Russian state and breaking with the international project of neoliberal modernization, neoliberal effects continued to exist, having penetrated Russian universities and the state. While the Russian state tried to securitize itself against the Eurocentricity of such projects, neoliberal rationality as a mode of (state) governance has leaked into institutional practice and diffused into the everyday life of university teachers. I am specifically interested in how the idea and practice of accelerated speed of production, usually ascribed to capitalist ideology, play out in the practice of an authoritarian state. I suggest that the accelerated speed of academic production contributes to various types of dispossessions—over their means of production, professional expertise, and fair wages—experienced by university teachers. Moreover, when this neoliberal rationality of effective speed is coupled with the authoritarian supervision of the state, it contributes to the reproduction of the state at a cheaper and faster pace.
