On February 3, students, faculty, and the rector's office met with Maria Zakharova, Director of the Department of Information and Press and official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at the State University of Management's Business Center.
The lively dialogue sparked a keen interest in the work of a civil servant. Participants asked a wide range of pressing questions, including about the nuances of working in the ministry and with the media, Russia's foreign policy, relations with China, and the latest global news. They also touched on the philosophical side of their work, discussing their key life lessons and the people who inspire them.
"Service is different from work. A doctor remains a doctor 24 hours a day, and you can turn to him, and he can't refuse you. That's what service is. People like Pushkin, Lermontov, Mendeleev, Korolev—they're an inspiration, a source of strength, energy, to which you turn when you realize you're just about exhausted. And you wonder, what kind of life did Korolev have? What about Gagarin?… There are a huge number of people, both ours and others, who inspire," the Foreign Ministry spokesperson concluded.
Each participant in the dialogue received not only a detailed answer to their question, but also food for thought: about the history of their native country and its Heroes, about the responsibility of serving Russia, and about situations unfolding in the modern world.
The meeting was held as part of the "People of My Country" project, which brings politicians, public figures, bloggers, and artists to the State University of Management to give open lectures. They share their life experiences and, through personal example, demonstrate how to achieve success and be a worthy citizen of their country.
