On March 12, 1918, Moscow was restored to its status as the capital of Russia. Prior to this, for just over two centuries, St. Petersburg had been considered the country's main city.

Moscow is the capital of Rus'

Moscow first officially received the status of the main city of the Russian state at the end of the 15th century, after the Moscow princes completed the unification of the Russian lands around their principality.

A key role in this was played by Prince Ivan Kalita, who received the right to collect tribute from the Horde on Russian lands and directed these funds towards strengthening the Moscow Principality.

Thanks to its advantageous geographical position, the presence of trade routes, and the active policies of the Moscow princes, by the end of the 15th century, Grand Duke Ivan III was able to finally unite Rus' around Moscow, making it the center of a centralized Russian state.

Moving the capital to St. Petersburg

During the reign of Peter the Great, St. Petersburg was built on the shores of the Baltic Sea, and the Tsar moved his capital there in the early 18th century. This city was closer to Europe and made a better impression on foreigners. Peter also needed a capital on the seashore "so that guests from other countries could come to the Tsar by sea, rather than having to travel the dangerous route to Moscow."

The city earned the nickname "Northern Venice": wide avenues, river and canal embankments, majestic palaces and buildings created the image of a European metropolis, symbolizing Russia's openness to the world.

Saint Petersburg remained the main city of the empire until the beginning of the 20th century, witnessing the most important historical events: the reforms of Catherine the Great, the Patriotic War of 1812, and the revolutionary upheavals of the early 20th century.

Moscow is the capital of the Soviet state

After the October Revolution of 1917, the political situation in the country deteriorated sharply: the young Soviet Republic faced the threat of foreign intervention and civil war.

In a climate of instability, Petrograd (as St. Petersburg became known in 1914) became vulnerable to possible attacks from the west and north. To ensure the safety of the highest authorities and strengthen the country's governance, the decision was made to return the capital to Moscow.

The government relocation took place in the spring of 1918. On March 12, the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR officially declared Moscow the capital of the new Soviet state. This move allowed for the centralization of government bodies closer to the center of the country, increased the stability of power, and facilitated control over the territory of the young republic.

The best city on Earth

Moscow today ranks among the world's leading megacities, consistently ranking high in international rankings thanks to its active infrastructure development, digitalization, comfortable urban environment, and quality of life. The city is frequently recognized for its achievements in transportation, culture, and business.

Moscow is the site of dozens of songs known to everyone, and is a constant venue for film shoots, star performances, and grand shows.

UN experts have recognized Moscow as the best metropolis in terms of quality of life, and we cannot disagree.

"This city is the best city on Earth

It looks like it was drawn on the wall with chalk.

River boulevards and bridges are drawn

On March 7, faculty from the State University of Management took part in the awards ceremony for the winners of two large-scale competitions: the International Competition "Tourism Code of My Country, City, Town, or District – PRO-Tourism" and the All-Russian Competition "The Power of Traditions." Both competitions have become key events in the development of tourism, hospitality, and the preservation of Russia's cultural heritage.

The awards ceremony took place at the Ladya exhibition and fair in Gostiny Dvor in Moscow and brought together talented young people, experienced experts, and distinguished guests.

The winners were presented with awards by distinguished guests and jury members, including Svetlana Grishaeva, Chair of the Competition Expert Council and Associate Professor of the Department of Management in International Business and Tourism Industry at the State University of Management, and Sergey Kochnev and Irina Milkina, Associate Professors of the Department of Public and Municipal Administration at the State University of Management.

The international competition "Tourism Code of My Country, City, Town, or District – PRO-Tourism," co-organized by the State University of Management, set a record for participation this year: over a thousand applications from 86 Russian regions were submitted for the fifth anniversary season. The in-person round, held in Moscow, attracted 450 contestants and academic supervisors from 74 regions of the Russian Federation. The youngest participant, Alisa Kozminykh from Perm Krai, is only seven years old, while the smallest settlement was represented by Ksenia Bugai from the village of Muksut in Irkutsk Oblast, home to fewer than 100 people.

The All-Russian competition "The Power of Traditions," aimed at promoting folk arts and crafts and integrating them into the modern urban environment, received 860 applications from 2,500 participants from 79 regions of the Russian Federation. The competition was organized by the "My Fatherland" Center for Socio-Economic Initiatives with the support of the Russian Ministry of Construction.

On March 9, we celebrate the birthday of Yuri Gagarin, the first person in the world to fly into space.

Childhood and the Occupation

The future conqueror of space was born in 1934 to a simple working-class family. In 1941, the village of Klushino in the Smolensk region, where the Gagarin family lived, fell under German occupation. The Germans deported Yuri's older brother and sister, aged 17 and 15 respectively, to Germany, but they escaped en route and joined the Soviet troops. The village was liberated in 1943.

Excellent student

In 1951, Yuri graduated with honors from Lyubertsy Vocational School No. 10, specializing in molding and foundry work, and completed the seventh grade of an evening school for working youth. In 1955, he also completed his studies with honors at the Saratov Industrial Technical School and the basic training course at the local flying club, where he accumulated 43 flight hours over two years. Upon joining the army, Gagarin was sent to the 1st Chkalov Military Aviation School named after K. E. Voroshilov, from which he again graduated with honors, qualifying as a fighter pilot.

The path to space

From 1957 to 1959, Yuri Gagarin served in the 169th Fighter Aviation Regiment near Murmansk. When he learned of the call for volunteers for the upcoming space flight, he immediately submitted a request expressing his desire to try his hand at this unprecedented new endeavor. After several medical examinations, he was accepted into the group of cosmonaut candidates. Six brave souls were ready to embark on the maiden flight, and the decision on who would be the first to leave Earth's atmosphere was made just a few days before the launch.

Legendary flight

On April 12 at 9:07 AM, the Vostok spacecraft launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, and its pilot, Yuri Gagarin, said the world-famous "Let's go!" 108 minutes of flight: not much for a human, but a new step in the development of humanity.

Returning to Earth, the cosmonaut reported: “I completed the task, landed in the designated area, I feel good, there are no bruises or injuries.”

The cosmonaut's worldwide fame

Yuri Gagarin received a triumphant welcome in Moscow. Thousands gathered in Red Square to see their hero. Words of gratitude and admiration poured in from all sides. Gagarin became not just a cosmonaut but a national symbol, embodying the achievements of Soviet science and technology. His smile and simplicity captivated the hearts of millions, and he quickly became a national favorite.

However, the first cosmonaut's fame wasn't limited to his country's borders. Soon after his historic flight, he embarked on a grand tour of thirty countries, where he was greeted like a true star. In each country, Yuri Gagarin became the center of attention, and his visits caused a real sensation. People flocked to see the cosmonaut who had become the first in history to conquer the vast expanses of space. He was greeted with flowers, gifts, and applause, and some countries even held parades in his honor.

One of the most memorable encounters was a lunch with Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain. Yuri Gagarin was invited to Buckingham Palace, where he was awaited not only by the royal family but also by a multitude of admirers. According to witnesses, at the end of the event, Elizabeth II herself invited Yuri Gagarin to take a commemorative photo with him, breaking one of the most important rules of etiquette: the monarch being prohibited from being photographed with ordinary people.

This meeting symbolized not only Gagarin's international recognition, but also the importance of space exploration as a common cause for all humanity.

Final chapter

Returning to the country after a world tour, Yuri Gagarin returned to active work and training for a new flight that was not destined to come true.

In 1968, the cosmonaut with the sunny smile died during a training flight.

Yuri Gagarin didn't just change history and become the face of Soviet cosmonautics; he significantly influenced everyone's lives, demonstrating by his example that anything is possible if you pursue your goals and work on yourself, you can achieve the most incredible heights.

During the Great Patriotic War, women fought, waited, believed, saved, treated, taught—and contributed to Victory alongside men. Their heroism manifested itself in different ways: some at the front, others in hospitals, laboratories, and classrooms, but all of them brought Victory closer with courage and selflessness.

Among them are those whose destinies are linked to our university. They studied here, worked here, dreamed of science, of a future—and when the time came, they made their choice, standing up to defend their homeland.

For March 8th, we're highlighting the women of Moscow Institute of Economics and Management (now State University of Management) who fought in the Great Patriotic War. We're celebrating those whose names are worthy of remembrance, respect, and pride.

Their faces are faces of courage, strength and endless dignity.

Students from the Institute of Economics and Finance at the State University of Management met with war correspondent Mikhail Surikov, codenamed Vologda, who has supported Donbas for over 10 years, considering it his second homeland.

The guest provided a historical insight into the motives behind the start of the SVO, as an eyewitness described the shelling of a school in Donetsk on Knowledge Day in 2014, and the atrocities and permissiveness of the neo-Nazis of the Azov Battalion (designated a terrorist organization and banned in the Russian Federation) against ordinary civilians in the DPR and LPR.

The two-time world champion in universal combat and world champion in MMA explained why he decided to give up his career as a world-renowned athlete and become a war correspondent.

Mikhail emphasized that he draws strength from his faith, and he was supported in this by Priest Kirill Kraev, rector of the Church of St. Andrew Bogolyubsky on Volzhsky.

During the meeting, the guests noted that today the struggle is taking place not only along the line of combat contact, but also in the information field, and it is crucial to be able to confront the enemy on all fronts.

In conclusion, the audience was briefed on the support measures the university provides to students wishing to serve in the Unmanned Systems Troops—a new, high-tech branch of the Russian Armed Forces.

Conditions for students of the State University of Management:

A 12-month contract with a return to studies without losing a course. Studying continues remotely, with payment at the university's expense. Free retraining courses at the State University of Management.
