The State University of Management invites 10th and 11th grade students, undergraduate students, and the general public to open lectures on history given by Professor Nikolai Omelchenko, Head of the Department of Public Administration and Political Technologies at the State University of Management, Doctor of Historical Sciences, and laureate of the Russian Federation Government Prize in Education.
The expert will examine the central issues related to national specifics and historical features of the formation of Russian statehood, and will provide a comparative analysis of the Western European and domestic paradigms of state-political development.
In addition, the reforms of Peter I, Catherine the Great, Alexander I, and Alexander II, which are important for understanding the specifics of Russian statehood, and the features of Russia's historical development at the beginning of the 20th century and during the Soviet period, will be conceptually presented.
Lecture participants will be able to delve into the most complex issues of Russian history and learn about new approaches to understanding the traditional foundations of Russian society's political culture, the national mentality and character of the Russian people, and historical alternatives to the state and political development of our country.
Studying history isn't just about knowing dates and events; it's about understanding the processes that shape our society and state. Open lectures will allow young people not only to expand their knowledge but also to develop critical thinking and learn to analyze and interpret historical events.
Meetings will be held online on Thursdays at 8:00 PM via this link. The first lecture will take place on January 29, 2026. Participation is free.
