On August 18, 1845, by the highest order of Emperor Nicholas I, the Russian Geographical Society was founded in St. Petersburg. It is one of the oldest public organizations in Russia, which has never stopped its work since its foundation. It is also one of the first geographical societies in the world; only the Paris, Berlin, and London societies were founded before it.

The main task of the Russian Geographical Society has always been the accumulation of reliable topographic knowledge about the native country and the planet as a whole, its publication and popularization of geographical science. The Society has made a huge contribution to the study of Siberia, the Urals, the Far East, the Caucasus, Asian regions, as well as distant India, New Guinea, Arctic territories and the waters of the World Ocean.

The society unites specialists in the field of geography and related sciences, as well as enthusiastic travelers, ecologists, and public figures. Among the founders of the RGS was the famous admiral Ivan Kruzenshtern, "the man and the steamship", who led the first Russian circumnavigation of the globe. At one time, it included well-known scientists, researchers, and travelers, including Pyotr Semyonov-Tyan-Shansky, who received the second part of his surname for studying the mountain system of the same name, Nikolai Miklouho-Maclay, the most famous explorer and friend of the Papuans of New Guinea, as well as geologist and author of the science fiction novels "Sannikov Land" and "Plutonia" Vladimir Obruchev. In addition, the RGS included artists whose work went beyond the studios, Ivan Aivazovsky and Vasily Vereshchagin. The Russian Geographical Society also accepted foreign explorers, including Fridtjof Nansen, Roald Amundsen and Thor Heyerdahl.

The Russian Geographical Society owns the largest geographical library in Europe, which is located in the society’s St. Petersburg headquarters.

Today, the society has more than 28,000 members. RGS organizes and conducts many interesting projects, including the film festival "GRO Unites Friends", the photo contest "The Most Beautiful Country", the Crystal Compass Award, the international educational campaign "Geographical Dictation", in which students of the State University of Management take part annually. And of course, RGS is expeditions, lectures, exhibitions, environmental campaigns, work on the study and conservation of rare animal species.

In 2009, Vladimir Putin became the head of the Board of Trustees of the Russian Geographical Society, and Sergey Shoygu became the president, which shows the special attention of the Russian government to issues of geographical science. Vladimir Putin also approved a list of measures for the popularization of geography, which included the Geographer's Day holiday, timed to coincide with the founding day of the Russian Geographical Society. This year it is celebrated for the fifth time – also a small anniversary.

Among the employees of the State University of Management there are two members of the Russian Geographical Society – this is the adviser to the rector's office Nikolai Mikhailov and professor of the Department of Economics and Management in the fuel and energy complex of the State University of Management Vladimir Linnik. Moreover, the first has been a member of the society for 53 years, and the second for less than one. But Vladimir Linnik heads the Expeditionary Corps of the State University of Management, at the grand opening of which Nikolai Mikhailov presented him with a membership card.

Even before the official opening of our thematic division, students and staff of the State University of Management began active cooperation with the inter-university Student Expeditionary Corps "Arctic Team". Their first steps in this direction were search operations in Sebezh, a trip to the Arctic and participation in the Tourist Rally of the Union State. The latest expedition to date helped in the construction of an access platform for equipment near the fire pond in the Mordovian State Nature Reserve named after P. G. Smidovich. The work was carried out within the framework of the "Water Frontier" project with the support of the Nature Defenders Fund.

In addition, the State University of Management trains specialists in the field of Ecology and Nature Management, so with us, a passion for geography and travel can always be turned into a profession.

The State University of Management congratulates the Russian Geographical Society on its anniversary, including its current members Nikolay Mikhailov and Vladimir Linnik, as well as all participants of the GUU Expeditionary Corps on Geographer's Day. May the horizon always be clear, the wind blow at your back, and incredible adventures await behind every hill.

All the islands have been discovered long ago. Even those where it's cramped and just the two of us. But everything we know means nothing. Everything we know means nothing to us – We'll find a new one!

The Rector of the State University of Management took part in the third meeting of the Rectors' Club, which was held in the Arguments and Facts press center.

Meetings of heads of higher education institutions and colleges allow for the coordination of training of specialists, avoiding duplication of educational programs, understanding what technologies and equipment are needed to teach students, and discussing how the labor market is changing.

The meeting included two sessions: the first was devoted to the future of higher and secondary vocational education and key changes in the system of training specialists, and the second focused on interaction with the business community.

During the first part of the meeting, representatives of government bodies and heads of higher and secondary educational institutions, including Vladimir Stroyev, spoke.

First Deputy Minister of Education of Russia Alexander Bugaev presented the key aspects of the education development strategy, which is based on traditional approaches and includes two stages: preparatory (2025-2026) and the subsequent implementation stage.

Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education Olga Petrova noted that this year the implementation of all key areas in the educational system, started earlier, will continue, with special attention being paid to helping student families. She emphasized that it is necessary to "prepare graduate professionals with an active civic position, aware of their role in the development of the country's technological sovereignty.

The head of the State University of Management Vladimir Stroyev spoke about the Pre-University of the State University of Management, where schoolchildren of the 10th and 11th grades study.

Day of Military Glory: The End of the Battle of Leningrad – a Triumph of Fortitude

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Today, August 9, we are celebrating the Day of the End of the Battle of Leningrad for the first time at the federal level, paying tribute to the memory of all who survived this unprecedented test and, at the cost of incredible sacrifices, brought victory over fascism closer.

Assignment of the status of Day of Military Glory

Previously, celebrations were held only at the local and regional level, but the historical significance of this event, the scale of the tragedy and the greatness of the Leningraders' feat required recognition at the highest state level. And so, on April 1, 2025, the President signed a Federal Law establishing August 9 as the Day of Military Glory of Russia.

The Battle of Leningrad lasted 1,127 days and became the longest in the Great Patriotic War.

This is not just a battle, it is an entire era in the history of the Great Patriotic War, an era of courage, endurance and inhuman fortitude.

The beginning of the Battle of Leningrad and the blockade of the city

The battle for Leningrad began on July 10, 1941, with the start of the fighting on the Luga line. And from the beginning of the blockade on September 8, 1941, the city turned into a huge island of resistance, dying of hunger and cold. Incessant bombing, artillery shelling, the constant threat of capture – this was the reality of life for millions of people who found themselves surrounded by the enemy.

But Leningrad survived. It survived thanks to the unparalleled heroism of the Red Army soldiers, workers, engineers, doctors, teachers, and ordinary residents, all those who were a single whole during this terrible time. Children, women, old people – everyone took part in the common cause of saving the city. They worked at defense plants, dug trenches, got water and fuel, carried ammunition, participated in extinguishing fires. They fought for their home, for their land, for their Motherland.

The memory of that time is preserved in bloody numbers: millions of people died from hunger, cold and enemy shells.

Lifting the siege of Leningrad

The siege of Leningrad was broken on January 18, 1943, during Operation Iskra. A window was formed in the siege ring, which allowed land communications with the besieged city to be restored.

Leningrad was finally liberated from the blockade on January 27, 1944, but military actions around the city and in the northern direction continued for another six months. As a result, the threat on the distant northern borders was eliminated and the present-day Leningrad, Pskov, Novgorod regions and Karelia were liberated.

The official end of the Battle of Leningrad

On August 9, 1944, the commander of the Karelian Front, Kirill Meretskov, signed an order to end the offensive in the Vyborg-Petrozavodsk operation, which became the final victorious chord of the Battle of Leningrad.

The feat of the soldiers was recognized at the highest level: the Victory Parade in Moscow on June 24, 1945 was opened by a combined regiment of the Karelian Front, and the hero of the Battle of Leningrad, Marshal of the Soviet Union Kirill Meretskov, marched in front.

We remember. We honor. We are proud.

Today we must remember not only the heroism of the soldiers and city residents, but also the countless losses, suffering and deprivation that befell the Leningraders. This memory is our national shrine, our joint responsibility to future generations.

The end of the Battle of Leningrad is not just a date on the calendar. It is a symbol of hope and the unbroken spirit of the Soviet people. This is the day when we honor the memory of the heroes who gave their lives for the freedom of our country, and we especially keenly understand the price of peace and the importance of preserving historical memory.

Let us celebrate this Day of Military Glory with respect and gratitude, honoring the memory of those who saved Leningrad and brought the great Victory closer.

We remember. We honor. We are proud.

Later, in 1990, it was here that the first department of entrepreneurship in the country was created. Today, we also help students develop entrepreneurial thinking, for example, through project-based learning, meetings with successful businessmen, master classes, and so on," noted Vladimir Stroyev.

During the conversation, the parties discussed possible vectors of cooperation and agreed on a future meeting.

Let us recall that the State University of Management is the federal operator of the All-Russian competition “My Good Business” for the third year in a row; the university’s specialists conduct a “Course on Business and Entrepreneurship” in the country’s key children’s educational centers, and the State University of Management also works with partner schools that have opened entrepreneurship classes.
