The Siberian Federal University continues its intensive educational program for finalists of the 5th International Financial Security Olympiad, with Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, participating.
Rectors of the country's leading universities, which train specialists in various fields of technological, economic, legal, and information security, give lectures to Olympiad participants and SFU students.
The lecture by the rector of the State University of Management (GUU) focused on the domestic governance model. Vladimir Stroyev discussed its characteristics, which partly correspond to the principles of the planned economy developed and successfully applied in the USSR. A particularly interesting feature of the lecture was a critical analysis of the Russian governance model proposed by artificial intelligence. The rector pointed out to the students typical cliches and stereotypes about the Russian economy that the AI had gleaned from Western scientific literature.
"The problem is that they're trying to apply traditional Western governance models to Russia, but given geopolitical, cultural, and historical circumstances, these models are ineffective and sometimes even dangerous for the country. Moreover, some of the country's governance know-how is now being successfully used worldwide, but credited to everyone but Russia," Vladimir Stroyev noted.
The rector of the State University of Management then went on to examine in detail the historical and cultural origins of the Russian model of governance, including geography, the communal and collectivist nature of the Russian people, the influence of Orthodoxy with its idea of service, and the Soviet legacy of a planned economy.
Vladimir Stroyev mentioned the significant contribution of Olimpiada Kozlova, rector of the Moscow Engineering and Economics Institute (now the State University of Management), to the systematization and theoretical substantiation of management science in our country, whose work laid the foundation for the subsequent development of management in the USSR and Russia.
"Today, the Russian economy and the domestic management school are being called mobilizational, in an attempt to prove that Russia cannot live in peace. But most of the country's crises occurred precisely when attempts were made to apply European management models to us, without adaptation, without taking into account our traditions and mentality. The Russian management school needs to be studied, implemented, and described," Vladimir Stroyev concluded.
Let us remind you that three students from the Institute of Economics and Finance of the State University of Management and three students from our Pre-University School made it to the Olympiad finals.
