On November 5, 1929, the first planetarium in the USSR opened in Moscow—one of the largest in the world, a true "optical science theater." It became the 13th planetarium in the world and remains a center of scientific education and a magnet for Muscovites and visitors alike.

Proletarian, proletarian, come into the planetarium.

The story began in 1927, when the Presidium of the Moscow City Council decided to create the first Soviet planetarium in the capital. The projector was commissioned from the German firm Carl Zeiss, and the building's design was entrusted to the young architects Mikhail Barshch and Mikhail Sinyavsky, who chose the constructivist style. The egg-shaped building became a symbol of the era's technological optimism.

The opening took place on November 5, 1929. The first lecture, with an artificial starry sky, delighted the public—Vladimir Mayakovsky dedicated a poem to the event: "Proletarian, proletarian, come into the planetarium…"

First among equals

By the mid-1930s, eclipses, auroras, and comets were already being shown here—spectacles unmatched by any other planetarium in the world. The first astronomy club opened there, and the Stratospheric Committee operated there, where the first Soviet liquid-fueled rockets were developed—the future foundation of the legendary KB-7.

During the war, the planetarium continued to operate: it taught astronomy to military personnel and hosted visiting lectures at military units and hospitals. After the war, an astronomy platform was built—the largest in Moscow. From 1960 to 1975, future cosmonauts held astronavigation classes here.

New life among the stars

The planetarium's rebirth took place on June 12, 2011, after a major renovation: the building was raised six meters, and a Small Star Hall and a 4D cinema were added.

Today, the Moscow Planetarium is a unique scientific and educational complex with observatories and an astronomy site, equipped with the latest scientific and technological advances. It is one of the top ten most visited museums in the capital and continues to open the way to the stars for generations.

Military Intelligence Officer Day: The Power of Knowledge, Honor, and Duty

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

November 5th marks Military Intelligence Day in Russia—a professional holiday for soldiers on the invisible front, whose work determines the success of military operations and the country's security.

Military intelligence as a branch of the armed forces was established in 1918, and since 1942 it has been coordinated by the Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces. The GRU's symbol is a flying bat—an emblem that reflects the essence of the profession: operating in the shadows, seeing what is hidden from others, and delivering precise, accurate strikes.

From the first days of the Great Patriotic War, intelligence officers were on the front lines, gathering information about enemy plans and ensuring the success of operations near Moscow, Stalingrad, and Kursk. It was military intelligence that made a decisive contribution to the preparations for the liberation of Europe. Their exploits were rarely reported, but thousands of lives depended on their work.

Today, military intelligence is more than just covert operations and frontline work. It has become a high-tech military discipline, combining traditional intelligence work, big data analysis, satellite and electronic monitoring. It's an elite service that values intelligence, perseverance, and the ability to think several steps ahead. Modern intelligence officers analyze global risks, cyber threats, satellite data, troop movements, and economic processes. They operate at the intersection of technology and analytics, where artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cybersecurity are essential.

Their mission remains the same: to stay ahead of threats, anticipate enemy actions, and defend the country while upholding the traditions of professionalism and honor established by their predecessors.

At GUU, we traditionally train specialists for whom analysis, strategic thinking, and responsibility are not just professional skills, but a way of thinking. These qualities are akin to the spirit of intelligence—service to a cause where success always requires knowledge and precision.

We congratulate the veterans and active military intelligence officers—the elite of the Russian armed forces, those who serve with honor, defending the country anywhere in the world. May devotion to duty, the power of knowledge, and determination always be your true allies.

Nikita Akinshin and Vladimir Kutkov, graduate students and staff members of the GUU Engineering Center from the State University of Management, have proven that Russian researchers can change the rules of the game even in such a complex, highly specialized field as automotive logistics. Our colleagues' project in the field of artificial intelligence for transportation management received high praise from experts and a well-deserved award from the organizers of the 2nd All-Russian Competition for Young Scientists.

The development "Hybrid Decision Support System: Integration of a Machine Learning Cascade and LLM for Analytical Synthesis in Logistics" helps manage the chaos of large data streams: machine learning predicts potential delivery delays, and a large language model transforms the data into understandable recommendations for specialists. The result is accurate forecasts and specific steps for distribution optimization, ready for practical application.

"Our system is primarily focused on automotive logistics, where it addresses key challenges: predicting route delays, optimizing fleet operations, and building effective last-mile logistics by transforming disparate data into ready-to-use solutions for dispatchers. At the same time, the development's hybrid architecture allows it to be successfully adapted to other areas—from warehouse management to sea and air freight management—making the system a universal tool for the entire transportation industry," emphasized Nikita Akinshin.

The system has already proven its effectiveness in testing and could become the basis for next-generation intelligent logistics platforms—our high-tech team demonstrated this by defending the project before a prestigious expert committee.

The competition, organized by the AFK Sistema Charitable Foundation jointly with the Russian Academy of Sciences and Rospatent, attracted a record number of participants: 1,205 applications from 147 educational and 92 scientific organizations from 57 regions of Russia. The victory of Nikita Akinshin and Vladimir Kutkov is further confirmation that our university is a magnet for talented and ambitious scientists.

The awards ceremony for the winners of the All-Russian Competition for Young Scientists will take place in December 2025. We wish our champions success, creativity, and new achievements!

A series of master classes on weaving camouflage nets, making trench candles, and making stoves were held at the Moscow City Branch of the All-Russian Student Rescue Corps (VSKS), located on the campus of the State University of Management.

Forty volunteers—students from the Institute of Information Systems and the Institute of Economics and Finance at the State University of Management—took part in the workshop. Over the course of three days, they made 122 trench candles and three camouflage nets for the next humanitarian aid shipment, which will be sent to Russian soldiers serving in the Special Military Operations Zone (SMO). The shipment will also include other essential items and other needed supplies.

As a reminder, the "GUU – SVOim" campaign began in January 2024. The previous shipment was sent on September 30. The project was created to collect humanitarian aid for military personnel performing missions within the SVO and civilians in neighboring regions of the Russian Federation. It is part of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation's public campaign "Universities for the Front."

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The 21st youth conference "New Materials, Technologies, and Devices in Rocket, Aviation, and Manned Spaceflight" was held at the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center (GTC). Students from the Institute of Distance Education at the State University of Management participated in the conference.

The forum is being held in Star City for the 13th time with the support of Roscosmos, Rostec, and the Union of Aircraft Manufacturers of Russia. Its goal is to discover talent, develop scientific and technical creativity, and exchange experiences among young specialists, engineers, and managers working in high technology and space.

After the awards ceremony, test cosmonaut Kirill Peskov met with the participants. He answered the students' questions about working with foreign colleagues, language barriers, adapting to weightlessness, and the perception of time in flight. He also promised to come to the State University of Management to give a separate lecture:

"I hope the conference reports are more than just letters, words, and pretty presentation slides, but that they reflect truly breakthrough ideas that will propel domestic and global space exploration to ensure that, in our lifetime, we leave our footprints on the dusty paths of distant planets. I believe that if we all work together, this plan will be realized," noted Kirill Peskov.

Afterwards, the students toured the Cosmonaut Training Center's technical facilities. In the Mir Orbital Station Hall, they were shown its full-scale simulator, where cosmonauts practiced weightlessness and learned to operate life support systems. The Soyuz Spacecraft Hall featured simulators that fully replicated real manned spacecraft. And in the International Space Station Hall, they saw the modules where modern crews live and work in orbit. Cosmonaut Training Center staff also explained how preparations for launch, docking, and return to Earth are conducted.

The students say the trip left a strong impression on them: the opportunity to see how cosmonauts prepare for missions and to personally interact with one of them opens new horizons and inspires scientific work. This isn't just a tour, but a step into the future—perhaps one of them will one day fly into orbit.

The organizers express their gratitude to the leadership of the Cosmonaut Training Center, the Directorate of the Institute of Distance Education at the State University of Management, and Alexey Sazonov, CEO of the company "April 12." We hope that such scientific and practical events will become a good tradition.

On November 4, Russia celebrates National Unity Day, a national holiday established in memory of the events of 1612. Residents of various cities and classes, representatives of various nationalities and faiths, united in a people's militia led by Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky to liberate Moscow from the invaders. This historical example of unity and responsibility for the fate of the country became the basis for the modern meaning of the holiday.

For the State University of Management, National Unity Day is an important reminder of the importance of teamwork, trust, and mutual respect. The university strives to strengthen these values in its educational and scientific environments, developing specialists capable of effectively collaborating, finding common solutions, and working for the benefit of society.

We congratulate our colleagues, students, and graduates of the State University of Management on this holiday! We wish you continued success, shared achievements, and confidence in the power of unity.
