The influence of political, social and cultural factors on the formation of these boundaries is discussed, and recommendations are offered for achieving a stable balance between freedom and restrictions in the academic community. The article calls for a dialogue on the need to comply with the principles of academic freedom, while taking into account the responsibilities of scientists to society and the ethical aspects of their activities.
