The codes here come from two different systems: Bachelor's, Specialist and Master's use the (xx.xx.xx) format from the Russian classification of fields of study, while doctoral programmes use the (x.x.x) format from the system of scientific specialities — two separate systems that cannot be compared with each other.

The post-doctoral track is available as normal — but Open Doors doesn't publish a subject list for it, and that isn't a gap in our information.
The reason is that selection in this track happens at the level of the research project, not the field of study. You apply to work as a researcher on a specific project, and you become a winner if at least one project leader agrees to employ you.
So the actual equivalent of a subject list here is the list of research projects:
