On October 29, 2025, the Lviv Forum, organized by the Institute of Economics and Finance of the State University of Management, opened at the State University of Management. The forum was dedicated to the scientific legacy of the legendary Russian economist, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Dmitry Semenovich Lvov, a graduate of the Sergo Ordzhonikidze Moscow Engineering and Economics Institute (now the State University of Management).
The plenary session of the Lviv Forum was opened by the event's moderator, Galina Sorokina, Director of the Institute of Economics and Finance at the State University of Management, and Doctor of Economics. Sorokina noted the growing interest in studying economic theory and the works of Academician Lvov. The Atrium of our business center, where the forum was held, was truly packed.
Welcoming the participants, SUMU Vice-Rector, Doctor of Technical and Pedagogical Sciences, Professor Maria Karelina drew attention to the extensive work of our university's economic theorists and encouraged students to engage in economics on a regular basis.
Maria Yuryevna thanked for the support the student Dmitry Semenovich Lvov, the director of the Central Economics and Mathematics Institute (CEMI RAS), corresponding member of the RAS Albert Bakhtizin and corresponding member of the RAS, head of the department of “Institutional Economics” of the State University Georgy Kleiner, who conducts a lot of scientific work and passes on his knowledge to young specialists. “We must be leaders in economic science – and we have everything for this,” concluded Maria Yuryevna and, wishing the participants fruitful work, gave the floor to Albert Bakhtizin, who presented the audience with the fundamental theses of the socio-economic doctrine formed by Academician Dmitry Lvov. Back in the early 2000s, the academician drew attention to alarming demographic symptoms, speaking about the problem of excess mortality in our country’s population: “Within the framework of the social doctrine, Dmitry Semyonovich outlined the social face of Russian excess mortality – young, male, Russian,” quoted academician Bakhtizin. — As for the forecast of the number of Russians, taking into account different birth rates and migration scenarios, our calculations showed: the current trend will lead to an increase in the number of migrants of the first and subsequent waves by the end of the century to 40% of the total population, which will continue to decline. In any case, the efforts of government authorities should be aimed not only at solving problems associated with increasing the birth rate and reducing mortality, but largely at preserving the health of indigenous people and their level of development.”
Georgy Kleiner spoke about the invaluable importance of Academician Lvov's fundamental works on production efficiency, the management of scientific and technological progress, and the equitable distribution of income in the development of a unified economic theory. In conclusion, Georgy Borisovich noted that Dmitry Semenovich Lvov's legacy continues to have a profound influence on the development of Russian economic thought and proposed that the SUM leadership initiate the publication of his collected works.
Sergey Glazyev, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Head of the Department of Economic Policy and Economic Measurements at the State University of Management, noted that "Dmitry Semenovich Lvov's works remain relevant. I wouldn't say he was ahead of his time. On the contrary, if these recommendations, related to the development of scientific and technological progress and the stabilization of our economy, had been implemented 20-30 years ago, even in the medium term, they would have created new opportunities for the country's development."
Following the plenary session, the forum continued with panels and roundtable discussions. These included discussions on Russia's economic development strategy, the institutional architecture of a multipolar world, economic security tools for businesses, the development of foreign economic relations, and finance in the platform economy. Topical issues in modern economic science, technological sovereignty, and the role of moral guidelines in shaping a new development paradigm were also discussed.
It should be noted that the Lviv Forum at the State University of Management remains not only a tribute to the memory of an outstanding scholar whose ideas on fair and socially oriented economic management at the level of states and continents remain relevant today, but also a platform for the exchange of fresh scientific ideas and expert discussions, which, as Academician Kleiner said, reflect the light of the future of economic theory.
