At the same time the conditions for outsiders are being tightened. This may create certain risks for the National Higher Education System. Based on the stakeholders’ concept of the system processes analysis the authors prove the necessity for constructing a new landscape of Higher Education.The analysis of various stakeholders’ needs and expectations enables researchers to describe 4 universities models: 1) "research university" with a research mission at a federal level; 2) "university - system integrator" - a university with a federal social-economic mission; 3) "university - regional integrator" - a university with regional socio-economic mission; 4) "university - human resources developer" - an institution with a local mission.This approach allows researchers to demonstrate the diversity of the Russian higher education landscape. The authors conclude that the government as the main stakeholder should identify the development vector of the higher education system: hierarchical differentiation or differentiation aimed at supporting and development of higher education institutions institutional diversity.
