On March 25, Rosfinmonitoring Director Yuri Chikhanchin met with students of the State University of Management's Pre-University School as part of a financial security lesson at the State University of Management. The head of the agency discussed with the students protection against modern cyberthreats and the role of young people in this area. Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, also participated in the meeting.
Yuri Chikhanchin emphasized the problem of young people becoming involved in criminal activities and the importance of youth education:
"Last year, lessons were held in over 30,000 schools, attended by over 3 million students. Financial intelligence schools have been established, and the Center for Inter-Olympiad Training of Schoolchildren and Students is actively working, preparing national teams for the International Financial Security Olympiad. This year, the financial security lessons and the Olympiad as a whole are dedicated to the topic of artificial intelligence. AI is a tool in our hands; it can speed up tasks, help process information, and work to protect citizens and society. According to the Central Bank, banks prevented over 134 million fraudulent transactions in 2025 using anti-fraud systems. But AI is also used by criminals, and we must be proactive."
Vladimir Stroev spoke about the organizations' collaboration and recalled the ongoing Financial Security Olympiad:
"We regularly hold meetings with distinguished guests, but today is a special day, as the head of a federal agency and a great friend of the State University of Management has arrived. We've been implementing joint projects for many years, are members of the International Network Institute in the field of AML/CFT, and regularly participate in the International Financial Security Olympiad, where our students consistently reach the finals. Today, you'll learn more about working in the federal monitoring system, and perhaps some of you will choose this profession in the future."
Students from the State University of Management's Pre-University School presented their projects aimed at combating fraud, improving the financial literacy of teenagers, identifying the pitfalls they face when looking for work, and how to spot the dangers and protect themselves.
Guests at the event highly praised the quality of the prepared presentations, noting the acute relevance of the works presented.
Answering questions from the students, Yuri Chikhanchin spoke about the subtle dangers of participating in drug dropper schemes.
"It's important to understand that engaging in dropshipping is only the criminals' first step. The next step could be blackmail and coercion into committing even more serious crimes, such as terrorism, arson, theft, and so on. It's important to tell your parents and law enforcement about the incident; this will help you avoid committing a serious crime and break out of this cycle. Be cautious, be vigilant, and don't assume you're more perceptive than the scammers, because there are professionals on the other end of the phone," advised Yuri Anatolyevich.
Interested in the work of Rosfinmonitoring, the students immediately decided to ask the rector of the State University of Management about which educational programs they should enroll in to gain the opportunity to work for this federal service.
"As I've already mentioned, our organizations have been collaborating for many years, and a significant number of our graduates are already working at Rosfinmonitoring. This is an interdisciplinary field, encompassing many disciplines, including economists, business analysts, IT specialists, and so on. This problem is becoming more pressing every year. The key is to be educated, well-versed, and prepared for the challenges," Vladimir Stroyev responded.
At the conclusion of the dialogue, Yuri Chikhanchin discussed the scope of the service's work, the potential for using AI for the benefit of society, and once again urged the students to be attentive and share the information they receive with their loved ones.
At the end of the meeting, the guys took a group photo with their guest and once again thanked him for the interesting conversation and the information they received.
