The years of the Great Patriotic War were the greatest test in the life of our country. The war left an indelible mark on everything, dividing the lives and destinies of the people and the country into two eras – before and after the war.

Wartime opened new chapters in the history of our university—some tragic, some heroic. When describing these years, we must speak not only of the educational process itself and the challenges of teaching during evacuation, but also of the people—the students, faculty, and staff—of MIEI (now the State University of Management) who defended their homeland.

On the eve of the war, the institute offered courses to train students in military specialties—pilots, parachutists, and nurses. Immediately after the war began, several self-defense units were created, and bomb and gas shelters were built.

In these cards, we introduce you to the names of our fatherland's heroes. Because heroes need to be known by sight.

Faculty and staff, students, and graduate students of MIEI, along with the entire nation, endured all the hardships of the war. They fought heroically at the front and selflessly worked in the rear.

They believed in Victory and long before the end of the war they were training personnel for the restoration and development of the national economy.

We thank, remember and are proud of the exploits of the defenders of the Fatherland!

On February 21, the world celebrates International Mother Language Day – a holiday that reminds us of the value of each culture, history, and identity of billions of people.

How did this day come about?

The holiday's history dates back to 1952. On this day 74 years ago, university students in Dhaka, Pakistan, held a peaceful demonstration to protest linguistic discrimination. They demanded that Bengali be recognized as a second official language. However, the government did not support this idea and, on the contrary, decided to disperse the demonstrators with gunfire. That day, several young people, whose only desire was not to forget their native language, were killed by police bullets.

In memory of this event, in 1999 UNESCO proclaimed February 21 as International Mother Language Day, and just a year later it was celebrated for the first time throughout the world.

Interesting fact: in Bangladesh, this holiday is celebrated as Bengali Language Movement Day. The country holds various events commemorating the anniversary of the beginning of the struggle for their native language. One tradition is laying flowers at the Shaheed Monument, dedicated to the heroic martyrs.

Why is it important to preserve languages?

Language isn't just a tool for communication between people; it's a prism through which we can see the world and similar things in completely different ways. The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis posits that language structure influences thinking and perception of the world around us. For example:

The Aborigines of the Australian tribe don't use "left"/"right" for orientation. They orient themselves only by the cardinal directions and say "on the north-east foot." Speakers of languages that have separate words for blue and light blue distinguish their shades faster than those who use a single word. Depending on the language, time is perceived either as distance or volume: long time/a lot of time. The Brazilian Pirahã language doesn't have a concept of exact numbers, dividing them only into "many" and "few." Most languages are egocentric, meaning they name objects relative to themselves ("on my right"), but a third use abstract landmarks—cardinal directions—and speakers of such languages have better orientation.

Today, linguists count more than 6,000 different languages. This is hard to believe, given that 80% of the world's population speaks only 80 major languages, and 40% of these are endangered—spoken by fewer than 1,000 people. According to some estimates, a language disappears every two weeks, and with it, history, culture, legends, ways of classifying the world around us, and uniqueness.

These facts prove that language preservation is our responsibility, one that cannot be ignored. After all, as the proverb goes, "The more languages you know, the more human you are." It's important to maintain this diversity and pass on knowledge to younger generations: speak to children in your native language, inquire about the cultures of small peoples, study the history of your speech, and simply appreciate how amazing it is to know a little more.

Happy International Mother Language Day! Celebrate your uniqueness – it's awesome!

On February 20, the State University of Management hosted a delegation from the Embassy of the Republic of Tajikistan in Russia. Second Secretary Futkhullobek Aslamov, Attaché Sukhrob Abdulloev, and employee Farrukh Ziyozoda visited the university. The guests were greeted by SUM Vice-Rector Dmitry Bryukhanov, Head of the International Cooperation Department Inessa Bogatyreva, and Head of the International Projects Department Konstantin Vinogradov.

Dmitry Bryukhanov warmly welcomed the guests to the First Management School and spoke in detail about the training of specialists in management and industry economics. He clarified that a significant role is given to the training of international students, especially from the CIS countries. As of 2026, approximately 600 international students are studying at SUM, 40 of whom are citizens of the Republic of Tajikistan.

For his part, Sukhrob Abdulloev emphasized that Tajikistan is currently interested in qualified personnel with higher education. This is why the Embassy has committed to paying closer attention to the academic performance of its students and openly states, "We are always here to help and support them in adapting to a new culture."

"The Russian language is in high demand in the Republic of Tajikistan. People hold it and Russian culture in very high regard, and people are drawn to it. For example, studying at the Yuri Gagarin School in Dushanbe and sending their children there is a dream for everyone. And this speaks volumes about the positive attitude toward Russia."

Future joint plans were also discussed at the meeting. Futkhullobek Aslamov invited the SUM leadership to participate in the upcoming Forum of Rectors of Russian and Tajik Universities. According to the Second Secretary, such events open new horizons for cooperation and joint projects. He noted that both sides already have reason to be proud: the current Deputy Minister of Industry and New Technologies of Tajikistan, Aziz Nazarov, is a SUM graduate!

The delegation also met with their compatriot students. The guests reminded them of the importance of abiding by Russian laws, encouraged responsible study, and assured them that the Embassy is always ready to assist them to ensure their studies are not only successful but also comfortable.

On February 19, fourth-year students from the Department of Human Resources Management at the State University of Management, along with Associate Professor Ekaterina Kashtanova and the Head of the SUMU Career Center, Alla Zhukova, visited the My Career Flagship Center.

Students learned about modern employment promotion processes and the center's free services, from psychological support for job seekers to in-depth career guidance testing for young people.

The students were able to put their knowledge to the test by participating in the team business game "Catch," where they practiced their skills in building a success strategy, learning to negotiate rules, and making the right decisions.

"It was very interesting, dynamic, and, most importantly, applicable to life! Today's event showed us how important it is to be able to negotiate with one another, but also to be prepared for the fact that partners may violate agreements for the sake of gain," shared fourth-year student Daniil Bodrov.

On February 16-17, 2026, the 3rd Non-State Education Forum was held in Moscow with the participation of the Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, Valery Falkov. At the meeting, the draft "Strategy for the Development of Private Education in the Russian Federation – 2036" was discussed and finalized. The document will cover all levels, from kindergartens to adult education courses.

Leysan Davletshina, a candidate of economic sciences and associate professor in the Department of Statistics at the State University of Management, analyzed the demand for private education and its prospects.

According to the expert's estimates, the private education market in Russia is experiencing a real boom: over the past five years, the number of students in private schools has grown by 60%, while the number of students in private universities has increased by 1.6 times. Moreover, not only private gymnasiums but also colleges have unexpectedly become drivers of growth, and businesses are increasingly investing in the creation of their own universities.

Schools: Demand for atmosphere and 'small classes'

In the 2024/2025 academic year, 234,000 children were enrolled in private schools. Moscow remains the undisputed leader in private education, accounting for 6.12% of the total student population. The Chechen Republic, Moscow Region, and St. Petersburg are also among the top three.

A study by the Public Opinion Foundation found that a quarter of Russians (26%), especially young people aged 18 to 30, would choose a public or private school when choosing between them. The main arguments cited were not only "high quality education," but also psychological comfort, modern teaching methods, and small class sizes.

Colleges and universities are leaders

Private colleges and technical schools held the record, with 514,600 students enrolled. This growth has been ongoing for five years. International recognition is also increasing: the number of international students reached 8,700, 98% of whom are from the CIS countries, Georgia, Abkhazia, and South Ossetia, applying on a general admission basis.

As of the 2024/25 academic year, there were 347 private universities operating in Russia. Over the past five years, the number of students has reached approximately 529,000: 82.7% of them are pursuing undergraduate degrees, with 8-9% each pursuing master's and specialist degrees. Moreover, one in twelve students is international.

While private universities previously focused on the social sciences and humanities, they are now actively expanding into IT, artificial intelligence, and technological entrepreneurship.

Business Goes to the Classroom: How IT Giants Are Changing Education

Partnerships with large corporations have become a key trend in recent years. For example, the Central University is developing with T-Bank, the Central Bank, VK, Yandex, and Sber. This synergy allows for the aligning of curricula with real market needs. The STEM approach, which integrates science, technology, and mathematics with a focus on practical application, is also being actively implemented.

The field of continuing vocational education is also dominated by private organizations, offering a wide range of programs for adults.

Challenges and Strategy: What's in Store for the Market Through 2036

Despite the optimistic figures, market participants point to systemic problems. Chief among these is the de facto inequality with state institutions, despite formally equal rights under the law. Private schools and universities still have limited access to state programs and suffer from the perceived "low quality" of fee-based education.

To address the situation, in December 2025, the Association of Non-State Education began developing the "Strategy for the Development of Private Education in the Russian Federation – 2036."

The main priorities of the strategy:

Implementation of industry self-regulation mechanisms; Expansion of public-private partnerships for infrastructure modernization; Leveling the playing field for private and public organizations

Expert Leysan Anvarovna clarifies: developing a comprehensive strategy could be key to realizing the private sector's potential in achieving national educational goals. It could take on an important social mission—from retraining students enrolled in secondary education programs to educating children with special needs. However, this requires improving the quality of educational services, establishing self-regulation and independent evaluation mechanisms, and enhancing the public image of private education.

Medieval man was certain of his place in the universe: the Earth, spherical in shape, stood still, and the Moon, planets, and even the Sun revolved around it. For a long time, this system was unquestioned, but everything changed thanks to Nicolaus Copernicus. He was born on February 19, 1473, in Toruń, Poland. The youngest of a merchant family, he enjoyed a comfortable and peaceful childhood. However, when his parents died at the age of 10, his maternal uncle, Lukasz, took on the responsibility of caring for the family. It was he who recognized Nicolaus's brilliant mind and predicted a future for him not in the merchant class, but in science.

In 1491, Copernicus entered the University of Krakow, where he studied the exact sciences: physics, astronomy, astrology, and the works of classical antiquity—Aristotle, Seneca, and Cicero. He continued his education in Italy, at the University of Bologna, under the astronomer Dominic Maria di Novara. With him, Copernicus conducted his first scientific observation and discovered that the distances from the Earth to the Moon were equal during the new and full moons. This cast doubt on Ptolemy's theory, which held that all motion revolved around our planet. In 1500, he moved to Rome, where he lectured and studied medicine. After receiving a doctorate in canon law, he returned to his homeland and became an observer, teacher, secretary, and physician to his uncle, a bishop.

While comparing the motion of the stars with the ecclesiastical calendar, other inconsistencies in the Ptolemaic system were discovered, and the system began to crumble. Questions then arose: "What if it's not the Sun that revolves around the Earth, but vice versa? What if we ourselves are in motion?" Based on this assumption, Copernicus explained the apparent intricacies of planetary motion, but, ignorant of the truth and assuming their shapes to be circular, he retained the epicycles and deferents of the ancients to explain the unevenness of their motion.

Forty years of tireless work on "On the Revolutions of the Celestial Bodies"—and the world received a book that revolutionized our understanding of the universe! Its writing was painstaking: the work was repeatedly revised and supplemented with new astronomical tables. Although Nicolaus Copernicus's theories required refinement and were not perfect, they formed the basis for our understanding of the modern solar system and became a true scientific breakthrough. His key discoveries can be summarized as follows:

The Earth is not the center. It is just one of the planets revolving around the Sun. We don't feel it, but our planet rotates on its own axis—this explains the alternation of day and night, not the rotation of the sky. The year is our orbit. The Earth's movement around the Sun creates the star's "journey" through the signs of the zodiac. The order of the planets. Copernicus was the first to propose the correct order of the planets from the Sun, placing Earth between Venus and Mars.

According to one version, Copernicus was in no hurry to publish his work due to his awareness of the scale of his discoveries and their impact on the entire world. The work was printed under the supervision of Nicolaus's best student, Rheticus, and the first printed copy of the book was brought to him on his deathbed. He reached out, touched his work, and died.

The influence of Copernicus's discoveries and scientific works cannot be overstated. Without them, there would have been no Galileo Galilei, who looked through a telescope and confirmed Nicolaus's correctness. There would have been no Johannes Kepler, who discovered the laws of planetary motion. There would have been no Isaac Newton with his theory of gravity.

Nicolaus Copernicus showed by his example that the path to truth can be long and thorny, but it is necessary to seek the truth, even if it means moving the entire Earth.
