On September 5, 2025, the State University of Management hosted the ceremonial launch of the educational program “Banking Business Management” – a joint project of Expobank JSC and the State University of Management, as well as the opening of the Expobank laboratory.

Let us recall that the cooperation agreement between GUU and Expobank was signed in February of this year.

The opening ceremony of the laboratory and the launch of the program began with a ceremonial ribbon cutting, after which the students of the State University of Management were presented not only with a bright classroom with small comfortable tables equipped with 26 new laptops, but also with the prospect of becoming leaders in the financial industry.

Expobank has 37 branches in 19 regions of Russia and ranks 25th in terms of capital in the market. It has an ecosystem that includes medicine, hotel and automobile businesses. This is a relatively small boutique bank that specializes in complex non-standard transactions with high uncertainty, thereby bypassing competitors who prefer standard work schemes. Students of the First Management will have to learn such a creative approach to banking. As an additional motivation, Expobank will pay a personal scholarship to each student who enters the network program before the first certification. In the future, only the most capable students who complete the first session without debts and Cs will retain the additional reward.

Greeting the assembled students of the State University of Management, Vice-Rector Dmitry Bryukhanov recalled yesterday's meeting with first-year students, which caused a great stir, and expressed confidence that the new laboratory will help students in implementing their projects.

"Today, thanks to the active position of our partner, we are opening a beautiful and functional classroom. We hope that this base will help you quickly get involved in the learning process and come to classes with joy, especially since Expobank is ready to help in implementing the educational program of banking business management. The program will help you immerse yourself in the complex world of financial flows, which today is closely connected with the IT sphere, so the classroom is equipped with the latest technology. Thanks to Expobank, we are glad that the first week of the academic year was marked by such a wonderful event," said Dmitry Bryukhanov.

Expobank's Director of Human Resources, Galina Weisband, told the students that this was the bank's first experience of this kind, so it would learn to build the educational process together with them.

"We believe that the main client of the university is not students or their parents, but employers who know better than others what kind of specialists they need. Our educational program, on the one hand, has academic importance, and on the other, it develops you in the banking profession. Classes will be held not only in this auditorium, where our specialists will come, but also in our bank. We are very much looking forward to seeing you in practice, and later as HR specialists, but in no way do we limit your ambitions and aspirations if you choose to work elsewhere. Welcome to our department!" Galina Weisband greeted the students.

Expobank's Director of Human Resources Maxim Dzyuba and Deputy Chairman of the Board Galina Lobova introduced the students to the company's activities.

"We believe that the university auditorium is the place with the greatest potential. That is why we are here and honestly say that we want to hunt you down, but we do not chain you to the radiator – you are free to choose your career path. We have 80 scholarship programs, internships with good salaries for people even with zero experience in the banking sector, young but experienced mentors. We are looking forward to the opportunity to work with you," Maxim Dzyuba addressed the future bankers.

At the end of the ceremony, the students asked questions that interested them, which mainly concerned the non-standard nature of their work, as stated by the guests, and also wrote messages to their future selves on the board.

BEIJING, Sept. 8 (Xinhua) — "Peace." The word naturally came to the mind of Maxim, a student from Samara studying at the Beijing Institute of Technology, after attending a themed concert of the Chinese-Russian children's and youth choir "Holding Hands!" And the atmosphere of the event left a deep and lasting mark on his memory.

He sincerely shared his impressions, emphasizing that the main idea of the concert was peace – the most precious thing we have. Maxim is convinced that it is necessary to make every effort to protect peace. He also noted that only through cooperation and strong friendship can we build a better future for ourselves and for future generations.

With music as a medium, the voice of peace is spread, and with friendship as a connecting thread, bridges of cooperation between peoples are built. According to the China Youth Daily, recently, as part of the commemorative events to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War, a special concert of the Chinese-Russian Children's and Youth Choir "Holding Hands!" was held at the Beijing Exhibition Center to great acclaim. Through the prism of history and through musical performance, young people from the two countries are jointly creating a future based on strong friendship and mutually beneficial cooperation. In doing so, they are making their contribution to deepening Sino-Russian relations in the new era and promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

The choir consists of 40 Chinese and Russian teenagers. The Chinese side is represented by 10 students from the Shenyang Conservatory of Music and 10 students from primary and secondary schools in Shanghai. The Russian side is represented by singers from Vladivostok and Izhevsk. United in one choir, the Chinese and Russian teenagers performed songs on the themes of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the Great Patriotic War of the USSR, as well as songs reflecting the spirit of the new era. In this way, the young generation of the two countries jointly promotes the correct view of the history of World War II, contributes to maintaining peace and promoting development throughout the world.

This performance is the Chinese segment of the general ceremonial events. The concert program is structured into four blocks: “Great Victory,” “Children's Dreams,” “Peace and Happiness,” and “Creating a Beautiful Future Together.” The repertoire includes compositions from the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Great Patriotic War of the USSR, and modern musical works.

The performance spanned the period from the difficult military trials to the present day, filled with bright prospects and bright horizons, said Russian director and choir teacher Ekaterina Vasilyeva, adding that this is the path that Russia and China have traveled together.

In the first part, “Great Victory,” Chinese and Russian teenagers jointly performed songs on the theme of resistance to fascism and militarism, reproducing the history of the joint struggle of the peoples of the two countries, mutual support, deep feelings sealed by blood and life, expressing the deep respect of Chinese and Russian teenagers for the great victory.

During rehearsals with Russian teenagers, Shenyang Conservatory of Music student Meng Qingxin truly felt the touching quality of “music without borders.”

“Although the languages are different, we can communicate with the help of a translator on the phone and simple gestures. They supported and encouraged me in many ways. After each song I sang, I heard cheers from the Russian friends we rehearsed with,” Meng Qingxin said.

"Music itself has no boundaries. Although people speak different languages and have different cultures, in musical communication, everyone is the same, everyone is a teenager who loves music," said Chinese conductor Wang Qiushi of the Shenyang Conservatory of Music. "I hope that through music, everyone will love each other even more and value friendship."

China is a great country that has come a long way and become a peacemaker, believes E. Vasilyeva. In her opinion, both Russia and China survived the anti-fascist war, fought together for peace and freedom, and China made an important contribution to the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War.

She noted that it is truly wonderful that young people from Russia and China can unite, remember history and sing together about peace. -0-

BEIJING, Sept. 8 (Xinhua) — A draft amendment to China's Environmental Protection Tax Law was submitted to the 17th session of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) for deliberation on Monday.

The draft amendments would subject all volatile organic compounds to an environmental tax as part of the country's efforts to tighten controls on such compounds.

Under current legislation, only 18 volatile organic compounds, including benzene and formaldehyde, are subject to this tax.

In order to improve air quality and strengthen ecological and environmental protection, it is necessary to amend the Environmental Protection Tax Law to include the remaining volatile organic compounds in the scope of the tax, according to Chinese Finance Minister Lan Fo'an.

Volatile organic compounds are organic compounds that play a role in atmospheric photochemical reactions. They are a major source of PM2.5 and ozone and can lead to air pollution problems such as haze and photochemical smog. -0-

Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Leningrad Siege: Chronicle of Events by GUU employee Georgy Lagunov

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

September 8 is a special date in the history of our country and its northern capital, St. Petersburg. Today we remember the victims of the Leningrad siege during the Great Patriotic War.

The siege lasted an incredibly long 872 days, from September 8, 1941 to January 27, 1944. During this time, from 600,000 to 1.5 million city residents died from hunger, cold, bombing and shelling, according to various sources, with 97% dying from exhaustion and only 3% as a result of combat. Over 150,000 heavy artillery shells and over 107,000 incendiary and high-explosive bombs fell on the city during the siege. At its beginning, the average daily shelling lasted 9 hours.

During the hardest period, in December 1941, the daily bread ration for a worker was 250 grams, everyone else, including the elderly and children, received 125 grams. Despite these hellish conditions, the residents of Leningrad were ready to give even their own blood for the front. Every day, 300 to 700 people donated it for the wounded soldiers. By the beginning of 1944, a total of 144 thousand liters of blood from exhausted residents had been collected.

The terrifying statistics can be cited for a very long time. Or you can read these sparse but very vivid recollections of a witness to this war crime of Nazi Germany, candidate of economic sciences, senior research fellow of the research department of the Moscow Engineering and Economics Institute (now the State University of Management), chairman of the Council of Veterans of our university from 1997 to 2003 Georgy Lagunov.

In 1941, our hero lived in the very center of Leningrad, in a house on the corner of Gogol and Dzerzhinsky streets, where the famous composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky died.

"Summer 1941. Warm. No rain. You can go to Krestovsky Island to swim in the Neva. Shop windows are filled with sandbags. Windows of houses are covered with crosswise strips of paper. Slots have been dug in gardens and parks to provide cover from bombs. Policemen with guns. Curfew. The radio is on non-stop. The evacuation of the Hermitage has begun. The shops still have everything they need."

"September 6 – the first raid by fascist planes. A day later – a massive daytime raid. From the roof of the house you can see smoke spreading over the burning Badayev warehouses, where most of the city's food supplies were stored. During one of the night raids, which happened to coincide with my duty on the roof, two lighters fell on our house. One bomb – into a barrel of water, the other – with special tongs into the sand. The remainder of the second lighter – a stump of a cylinder with a tail unit – stood on my desk for a long time."

"Heavy snowfalls began at the beginning of November. Railroad communication with the country was interrupted. Trams and trolleybuses stopped. The daily bread ration was rapidly decreasing. Almost no other food products were issued."

"In mid-December, the lights in the houses go out. People started making smokehouses. There is no water. It is cold. The bread ration is 125 grams. People queue for it from 6 am. People fall down and die of hunger right on the streets."

"On December 27, my father died. From "general dystrophy," as stated on the death certificate, or more simply, from hunger. He was only in his 45th year."

"My mother went to work as a nurse at the hospital on our street. How far it seemed! I dragged myself there to the canteen for civilians for a plate of shchi made from khryapa or a flatbread made from duranda."

(Khryapa is the pickled upper green leaves of white cabbage. Duranda is the remains of oilseeds after squeezing oil out of them, cake.)

"In February 1942, food standards were set that would probably be minimally sufficient for healthy people. However, for dystrophic people, this was not enough. People continued to die. But even in such difficult times, the post office worked!"

"In the spring, trams started running again. The destroyed houses, at least in the city center, were camouflaged with plywood painted to look like walls and windows. The streets were deserted, there were few people. In the gardens, they began to dig up the vegetable gardens."

"In June 1942, I started working, and that's when my work experience began. At first, I worked as an apprentice electrician in a hospital, and when the restoration of electricity supply to residential buildings began in 1943, I moved to work as a foreman of electricians in the District Housing Administration, closer to home."

"On November 1, 1943, I was drafted into the Red Army by the Kuibyshev RVC of Leningrad. Together with me, there were only about 40 teenage boys born in 1926 in the area, who had survived the most brutal months of the blockade in the city. This was the last draft of soldiers who took part in the battles of the Great Patriotic War."

Georgy Lagunov did not manage to be in the battles to lift the siege of Leningrad. On January 27, 1944, the day it was lifted, the young machine gunner turned 18. He fought in the autumn offensive operations of the 3rd Baltic Front in Estonia and in the winter-spring East Prussian offensive operation in Poland. He was seriously wounded in the leg while crossing the border with Germany, and eight months later he was discharged from the army for health reasons.

Georgy Lagunov was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War, 2nd degree, the Order of Glory, 3rd degree, the medals For Victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, For the Defense of Leningrad, and the Resident of Blockaded Leningrad badge. A worthy warrior

In 2022, the St. Petersburg City Court recognized the siege of Leningrad as an act of genocide. We will forever remember the incredible resilience and unbending courage of the survivors of besieged Leningrad and the hundreds of thousands of innocent victims of this war crime of the Nazi regime.

“I like the feeling of real benefit in my work,” a RUDN University graduate spoke about the profession of an engineer-technologist in the oil and gas sector

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peoples'Friendship University of Russia –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Mohammed Shaban Alhadi Bennaji came from Libya several years ago to study at the RUDN Engineering Academy in the Oil and Gas Engineering program. This year, he graduated from the university and now works as an engineer-technologist at GEOTEK. In honor of the professional holiday – Oil and Gas Industry Workers' Day, which is celebrated in Russia annually on September 7, Mohammed told why his specialty will not remain in the past, how he sees the future of the profession in 10 years, and what career goals he sets for himself.

What was the decisive factor in choosing RUDN and Russia to get an education in Oil and Gas Engineering? How did the international environment of the university help you adapt to a new country?

I chose RUDN because of the high level of education and practice-oriented training of specialists in this field. Russia is one of the world's leading countries in hydrocarbon production and processing, and it was important for me to study in a place where the industry has rich experience and traditions. In addition, at RUDN I saw a unique opportunity not only to get a profession, but also to develop in an international environment.

The international atmosphere of the university really helped me adapt. There are students from dozens of countries studying here, and thanks to this, I immediately felt like part of a big family. Communicating with guys from different cultures helped me settle in faster, improve my language skills, and learn how to work in a multicultural team.

How do the knowledge and skills acquired at RUDN help you in your work?

The knowledge and skills I received at RUDN University help me in my work because the training here was always focused not only on theory, but also on solving real production problems, where we learned to analyze data, look for technical solutions and work in a team. The teachers-mentors made a great contribution: they shared their experience and motivated me to apply knowledge in practice.

A particularly memorable stage for me was my internship at Tatneft. There I was able to see how modern oil production and refining technologies work, got acquainted with the corporate culture of a large oil company and consolidated the skills I had acquired at the university. This experience allowed me to better understand what competencies are in demand in the industry and gave me confidence in my choice of profession.

You just graduated from university and are already working as an engineer-technologist. Tell us how you got into GEOTECH?

Since I had already completed an internship during my studies and participated in production projects, I was able to prove myself. Thanks to this, after graduating from the university, I was offered a job as an engineer-technologist at OOO GEOTEK. I apply the knowledge I received at RUDN in my daily tasks: from analyzing the properties of formations and selecting technologies to calculating equipment operating modes. Courses in drilling and field development gave me a good foundation, which now helps me participate in the preparation of technological solutions for specific objects. The ability to work with modern software products, which we mastered at the university, turned out to be very valuable – today it is part of my daily work.

In what company projects are you personally involved, what is interesting about them? And what do you like most about your work?

I am currently involved in projects related to the optimization of technological processes during drilling and well development. This is especially interesting for me because each facility is unique: you have to look for solutions that take into account the geological features of the field and specific production conditions. This is not just performing standard tasks, but a constant search and application of knowledge in practice. What I like most about my work is the feeling of real benefit: seeing how your calculations and proposals are implemented in production and help improve efficiency. In addition, working in a team of professionals motivates you to continue learning and developing in your profession.

How does your international education and understanding of different cultures help you in your work in the oil and gas industry?

International education at RUDN University gave me not only professional knowledge, but also experience in communicating with people from different countries and cultures. In the oil and gas industry, this is especially important because projects are often implemented in international teams and require the ability to find a common language with colleagues, partners and customers. This helps to avoid misunderstandings, build trusting relationships and work more effectively in a team. For example, when specialists from different regions participate in a project, I can quickly establish communication and adapt to the work style. This is a quality that, in my opinion, is valued no less than technical training.

What was the most interesting or difficult technological challenge you faced while working for the company? And how did you overcome it?

One of the most interesting and at the same time difficult challenges for me was working with an unstable formation, where complications arose during drilling. It was necessary to find a solution that would minimize risks and maintain the efficiency of work. I relied on the knowledge gained at the university, consulted with more experienced colleagues and analyzed different technology options. As a result, it was possible to propose optimization of the flushing mode and select the appropriate solution composition, which helped stabilize the process. For me, this was a valuable experience – I understood how theory and practice are combined and how important it is to be able to quickly make decisions in real conditions.

Have you encountered any stereotypes about your profession? If so, which ones?

Yes, I have encountered some stereotypes. For example, many people think that working in the oil and gas industry is limited to heavy physical labor at the fields. In fact, this is a high-tech industry where a lot depends on engineering calculations, the use of digital solutions and modern technologies. Another stereotype is that the oil and gas industry is not developing and will soon “become a thing of the past.” In practice, we see the active implementation of innovations, environmentally friendly technologies and a transition to more rational use of resources. It is important for me to destroy such ideas with my own example.

How do you think the profession of an engineer-technologist will change in the next 10 years? What new technologies will be most in demand?

In the next 10 years, the engineering profession will become more digital: we will work with big data, digital twins and automation systems. More and more attention will be paid to environmental technologies, such as carbon capture and energy efficiency. The engineer of the future will have to combine classical knowledge with skills in the field of digitalization and sustainable development.

The profession of an engineer-technologist is being transformed from a classic specialist into a hybrid professional, combining:

engineering expertise; digital skills (AI, IIoT, modeling); environmental literacy; cyber resilience.

What advice would you give to applicants from other countries who are considering RUDN and a career in the oil and gas sector? What should they pay attention to from the very beginning? And what advice would you give to students who are already studying?

I would advise applicants from other countries not to be afraid of choosing RUDN: here you will receive a quality education and will be able to study in an international environment, which is very helpful for adaptation. The main thing is to be open to new knowledge from the very beginning, not to be shy about asking questions to teachers and actively participate in student life, because this is what helps you quickly feel like a part of the university. And for students who are already studying, I would recommend making the most of all opportunities: practices, internships, research projects. The sooner you start applying knowledge in practice and developing professional contacts, the easier the transition from student life to a career in the oil and gas industry will be.

What does a professional holiday mean to you?

It has a special meaning for me, because I feel like I am part of a large and very important industry. It is not only a reason to congratulate colleagues, but also an opportunity to realize that we contribute to the development of the economy and energy security of the country. For me personally, it is also an incentive to move forward, improve and be worthy of the title of engineer in the oil and gas sector.

What are your career goals for the future?

My career goals are related to continuous professional growth and deepening in modern technologies of the oil and gas industry. I want to develop not only as an engineer-technologist, but also as a specialist capable of managing projects and implementing innovations. In the future, I see myself working on international projects where it is possible to combine the experience and technologies of Russia and Libya. I believe that such projects allow us to exchange best practices, strengthen cooperation and make a real contribution to the development of the industry at the global level.

Happy Financier's Day!

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Every year on September 8, Russia celebrates a professional holiday – Financier’s Day.

This date was not chosen by chance: it was on this day in 1802 that Emperor Alexander I established the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Empire. The creation of this department was an important step in the development of the state's financial system and contributed to the strengthening of the country's economy.

The State University of Management proudly congratulates everyone involved in financial management, investment, accounting and economic activity on this festive day – both experienced professionals and future specialists.

We send special congratulations to the Institute of Economics and Finance and the Department of Finance and Credit, which are among the leading centers for training highly qualified specialists in this field, and their graduates successfully work in the largest companies, banks, investment funds and government organizations.

On this festive day, we wish everyone involved excellent financial health, confident upward movement and error-free formation of strategies.

Thank you for your contribution to the development of our country's economy.
