Penta is one of the largest employers in Slovakia, employing some 30,000 people across the country through its subsidiaries. Its total (declared) assets amount to 6.5 billion euros, and its owners have been in the top 10 fields of the richest Slovaks and Czechs for years. According to the summary of SME, the common history of the founders of the company dates back to the previous time, when they began to study together at the Moscow Institute of International Relations, which at that time was not only a training ground for communist diplomats. but also a recruiting place for KGB agents.

In Poland, Alexander Kwasniewski, who studied at the institute for a year, was also criticized by the local media. In the Czech Republic, a proposal was submitted to parliament to remove MGIMO from the list of universities whose degrees are recognized by the state administration.
