Interestingly it’s Russian Goverment University for Humanities, 
but for their technical faculty.

The good folks that teach there are also part of my PhD advisor 
team. Basically they were fed up with troves of C++ lecturers who 
cannot grasp C++11 and the general misunderstanding with 
management:
- “We should teach good, modern C++ instead of our C++ course”
- “What do you mean - replace C++ with C++, what’s the point?”

Hilarious thing but D has no identity problem like that ;)
