On March 26, the State University of Management held its latest "Lesson of Courage." Guests included Sergei Veremeyenko, head of the mobile team at the A.A. Vishnevsky National Medical Research Center for Military Medical Technologies (BMC) Blood Transfusion Center; Sergei Barbus, a representative of the All-Russian public organization "Combat Brotherhood" and a veteran of the special military operation; and Artem Nikolayenko, federal coordinator of the "Combat Brotherhood" volunteer company.
The meeting was opened by Sergei Lenshin, Director of the Institute of Distance Education (IZO), who emphasized the goals of such meetings: "To develop the student's personality as a citizen with the values, views, attitudes, and motives for action and behavior inherent to such a personality; to preserve the country's historical heritage among the younger generation; to cultivate a sense of love for the Motherland, pride in the nation's heroic past, and a respectful attitude toward the country's history."
During the meeting, students watched a film about the war crimes of the Ukrainian Armed Forces against civilians in Donbas, neo-Nazism, and its impact on generations of Ukrainian youth.
Sergey Veremeyenko spoke about the importance of volunteering and blood donation. After his speech, some students decided to become donors and participate in the blood drive being held at the State University of Management by the Center's staff.
The conversation continued with Artem Nikolaenko, who spoke about developing young people's understanding of courage, duty, honor, responsibility, and the willingness to take courageous action.
Participants in the meeting discussed the reasons for the SVO with Sergei Barbus, a veteran of the special military operation. He shared his personal combat experiences and real-life stories with the students, and spoke about the importance of youth supporting their country. He also spoke about the elite units of the Unmanned Systems Troops, which offer special terms to students at the State University of Management: a one-year contract, without interruption from their studies, and benefits of up to 5.5 million rubles.

He also explained that the organization's members annually hold several thousand military-sports and memorial events, including those aimed at promoting patriotic education among young people, and he invited students from our university to participate.
Summing up the meeting, the Director of the Fine Arts Department of the State University of Management once again addressed those present: "In our time, when the world faces numerous challenges, we cannot remain mere observers, and such conversations are especially relevant – these are not just classes, but a profound and important educational process that helps instill in young people patriotic feelings, pride in their country, and respect for its heroes."
As a reminder, "Lessons of Courage" are regularly held at the State University of Management. The students have already met with Ivan Bondyukov, a member of the SVO, a UAV and parachute training instructor; Maxim Shmelev, a volunteer from the "Veterans" reconnaissance and assault brigade; Mikhail Surikov, a war correspondent; and Sergei Karelin, a special forces veteran and coordinator of the SVO Veterans Association.
