HomeWork

What HomeWork does

HomeWork (homework.ru) is a Moscow-headquartered Russian academic assistance platform founded in 2001 that connects students with screened human experts for custom academic writing and consulting services. The company offers 35+ distinct product categories spanning diploma theses (from 11,900 RUB), master's theses (from 15,000 RUB), PhD dissertations (from 90,000 RUB), coursework, abstracts, business plans, VAK/Scopus journal publications, monographs, CAD drawings, translations, exam preparation, and tutoring. Pricing is fully transparent and publicly listed on the website in Russian rubles, with a 10% promotional discount (code STUD10), 30% prepayment on order, and installment financing through T-Bank. The service model assigns a personal manager to each order, includes a quality-control review for plagiarism (Антиплагиат) and GOST compliance, and provides free revisions within a 30-90 day warranty period plus a money-back guarantee.

The business operates as a direct-to-consumer online marketplace through homework.ru, supplemented by physical offices in 50+ Russian cities (Saint Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Kazan, Yekaterinburg, Krasnodar, Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Irkutsk, and others), an Android mobile app (com.hmwk.HomeWork), an 8-800 hotline, and VK/Telegram support channels. Payment processing is handled by PayOnline and T-Bank, with cards (Visa, Mastercard, MIR) and SBP accepted. Customer acquisition is layered across SEO/content marketing, social channels, an affiliate program (up to 50% first-order commission), and a student-referral program (up to 1,500 RUB per referred order). International distribution outside Russia is handled by RAMBRI LTD in Cyprus. The corporate structure spans multiple legal entities — LLC "NAUCHNY CENTR" plus individual entrepreneurs Bakuteev, Lyulko, and Shalamova — and the business is privately held with no disclosed venture capital or external institutional investment.

The company's value proposition is built on three pillars: (1) human-only authorship as a deliberate counter-positioning to generative AI tools, (2) nationwide physical presence providing local trust and in-person consultations, and (3) quality guarantees anchored by anti-plagiarism verification, GOST-compliance checks, free revisions, and money-back assurance. The platform targets four customer segments — full-time university students (primary), graduate/postgraduate students (VAK/Scopus publications, dissertations), schoolchildren, and MBA students — with the majority of demand driven by Russian higher-education coursework cycles.
