Defenders of the Fatherland – who are they?

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The years of the Great Patriotic War were the greatest test in the life of our country. The war left an indelible mark on everything, dividing the lives and destinies of the people and the country into two eras – before and after the war.

Wartime opened new chapters in the history of our university—some tragic, some heroic. When describing these years, we must speak not only of the educational process itself and the challenges of teaching during evacuation, but also of the people—the students, faculty, and staff—of MIEI (now the State University of Management) who defended their homeland.

On the eve of the war, the institute offered courses to train students in military specialties—pilots, parachutists, and nurses. Immediately after the war began, several self-defense units were created, and bomb and gas shelters were built.

In these cards, we introduce you to the names of our fatherland's heroes. Because heroes need to be known by sight.

Faculty and staff, students, and graduate students of MIEI, along with the entire nation, endured all the hardships of the war. They fought heroically at the front and selflessly worked in the rear.

They believed in Victory and long before the end of the war they were training personnel for the restoration and development of the national economy.

We thank, remember and are proud of the exploits of the defenders of the Fatherland!
