On September 3, 2025, a meeting of students from leading Moscow universities — natives of the Kursk region — with the acting governor of the region, Alexander Khinshtein, took place within the walls of the Bauman Moscow State Technical University. Among others, students from the State University of Management attended the meeting.
The dialogue was structured in the format of an open discussion, which allowed young people to directly ask questions about the prospects for the development of the region, as well as to identify key areas that, in their opinion, require priority attention. First of all, students were interested in the topics of young specialists returning to their small homeland after completing their studies in Moscow, creating a comfortable infrastructure for life and work, developing education, culture and the economy.
Alexander Khinshtein emphasized the strategic objective of attracting young specialists back to the region:
"It is interesting to learn about the problems that concern you and to answer an important question: what is needed to prevent young people from leaving Kursk Oblast? And this is, perhaps, the main goal of my meeting today – to talk about how I see the development of the region and why it is very important for young and competent specialists and managers to return home," the acting governor noted.
The meeting was also attended by Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Konstantin Mogilevsky, who noted the special connection of young people with their small homeland. In his speech, he emphasized that, despite studying and working in Moscow, many students maintain deep personal and family ties with the Kursk region, and it is this connection that forms the basis for the return of young people and the future development of the region.
During the discussion, issues directly affecting the quality of life and prospects of the region were raised. Particular attention was paid to the development of transport infrastructure: students were interested in the construction of a new railway station in Kursk, the possibility of electrifying sections and constructing a second track in Zheleznogorsk, resuming work on the reconstruction of the airport, as well as the condition of roads and transport links between settlements.
A significant block of questions concerned the preservation of historical and cultural heritage. Alexander Khinshtein noted that there are nine cultural heritage sites on the territory of the Kursk Fortress, of which restoration work is already underway on four; in parallel, the reconstruction of the historical building of the former men's classical gymnasium has been resumed, and in the future, improvement of the Znamensky Cathedral is planned.
The topic of education was no less relevant. The acting governor emphasized that there are four universities in the Kursk region, and each has potential for development. He noted that the creation of branches of federal universities in the cities of the region is being discussed, as well as the expansion of opportunities for practical training and internships for students at regional enterprises. One of the students present at the meeting asked to pay attention to colleges in the region, in particular, the Rylsk Aviation Technical College.
Answering the question about how to attract students back to the region, given the level of wages in the region and in the capital, Alexander Khinshtein noted that it will be difficult to compete with Moscow, but at the same time it is easier to prove yourself in the region than in large cities. He also shared that plans include announcing a recruitment of young people to work in government bodies.
A separate area of discussion was measures to develop border territories. Alexander Khinshtein spoke about the preparation of a border restoration program, including socio-economic incentives for businesses and investors, which should become the basis for long-term growth and increased sustainability of the region.
Such events become a significant platform for open dialogue between the authorities and youth, as well as for generating ideas and finding practical solutions.
