On February 11, the whole world celebrates an important and wonderful holiday – International Day of Women and Girls in Science.

The resolution proclaiming this significant date was adopted at a meeting of the UN General Assembly in 2015, and on February 11, 2016, representatives of the fair half of humanity engaged in science celebrated their holiday for the first time.

We spoke with several female scientists at the State University of Management to learn a little more about them.

Marina Aleksandrovna Zhukova: "Science is a world in which I feel comfortable."

Academic Secretary of the Academic Council of the State University of Management, Deputy Director for Academic Affairs of the Institute of Personnel Management, Social and Business Communications (IUPSiBK) of the State University of Management, Doctor of Economics, Honorary Worker of Higher Professional Education of the Russian Federation, Laureate of the 2024 Russian Federation Government Prize in Education

I enjoy solving complex problems and exploring the diverse processes that govern socioeconomic systems. I work on global issues of sustainable development and creating optimal conditions for tourism and hospitality development. Although science can be complex and sometimes slow, I always feel a sense of accomplishment and am proud to be part of the scientific community and have the opportunity to contribute to science.

My supervisor was Zinaida Petrovna Rumyantseva, a professor at the State University of Management and an Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation. She is one of the authors of the most famous and sought-after educational publications on management in the country.

After defending my doctoral dissertation, I continued working under the supervision of Professor Alexey Danilovich Chudnovsky, who now heads the Institute of Management and Budgetary Conduct at the State University of Management. I had the opportunity to supplement my fundamental knowledge of management theory with a whole arsenal of practical techniques for applying them in the work of tourism and hospitality enterprises.

Tatyana Sergeevna Pershina: "Science is a creative exploration of reality, where intuition is inevitably tested."

Deputy Head of the Department of Statistics of the State University of Management, Candidate of Economic Sciences, Associate Professor

My path to science was fairly standard and began with admission to graduate school, where I was invited by the then head of the statistics department at the State University of Management, Professor Marina Romanovna Efimova, an Honored Worker of the Higher School of the Russian Federation. While still a student, I decided to remain in the educational field, where there is always room for research.

What attracts me to science is the opportunity for a rigorous yet creative exploration of reality, where intuition is inevitably tested and any statement requires justification and responsibility.

My research, like many others, helps change the world by developing evidence-based solutions that improve the quality of governance, forecasting accuracy, and resource efficiency.

In my opinion, analytical thinking and methodological discipline are essential for scientific advancement, as is a willingness to test one's own hypotheses, acknowledge the limitations of one's findings, and revise one's positions as new data accumulates. However, persistence and the ability to sustain long-term concentration are equally important, as scientific work requires time and patience.

Beyond one's own strengths, the support of others is also important. I've been fortunate to have had and continue to have several mentors. I owe the rigor of my scientific research and the discipline instilled in me during my studies to Marina Romanovna Efimova, who introduced me to science. My second mentor, Doctor of Economics and Professor Olga Emilievna Bashina, who continues to provide me with valuable advice on scientific research, statistical methodology, and my overall life. I'd also like to acknowledge Nikolai Vladimirovich Kuznetsov, Head of the Department of Statistics at the State University of Management, who consistently supports not only me but the entire female faculty in the department, assisting both with work organization and with research, which sometimes requires inspiration.

Looking back, I would advise my 20-year-old self not to be afraid to take on responsibility, to start doing research early, and to continually learn while there is time for it.

Oksana Dmitrievna Pokrovskaya: "Science is like magic. Thanks to it, we can solve problems at the speed of a click."

Leading specialist of the Center for Space Research, Unmanned and Radio-Electronic Technologies of the State University of Management, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor

I've always enjoyed seeking unconventional, new approaches to problems rather than standard solutions. And science attracted me with its constant novelty. It's like magic: it manages to constantly evolve while remaining young, fresh, and modern.

To be successful in academia, "it's enough to dare to be a scientist," as Horace said. On this path, creative ambition, the ability, and the desire to seek new solutions will be your primary facilitators. I'd also like to recommend Hans Selye's book "From Dream to Discovery." I was fortunate to read it back in university. I believe many researchers follow this vector of movement from dream to discovery in their work, and I'm no exception.

Today, my research makes decision-making in the field of cargo delivery faster and more efficient, allowing logistics problems to be solved at the click of a button, which is essential in the modern world.

Yulia Nasikhovna Serdechnaya: "In science, constant personal development is inevitable."

Senior Lecturer, Department of Industrial Organization Management, Institute of Industrial Management, State University of Management

During my student years, I worked in the department and participated in research. I found it interesting, and I decided to continue doing science after completing my studies.

I love that in science, constant personal and professional development is inevitable. Along this path, discipline, the ability to quickly adapt, and patience become essential qualities. For those just starting out, I would advise remembering that "the road is mastered by the one who keeps going," so it's important to keep moving toward your goal.

A significant role in my path to science was played by the Deputy Head of the Department of Organizational Management in Mechanical Engineering at the State University of Management, Professor Tamara Ivanovna Yurchenko, who stood at the origins of the domestic concept of organization and management of production.

Today, my research helps organizations manage the innovation process more effectively, but it always pays a lot of attention to the end user, so it helps to some extent to get a new product that the consumer wants.

Ekaterina Aleksandrovna Karelina: "In science, determination, perseverance, and the support of loved ones are important."

Associate Professor of the Department of World Economy and International Economic Relations of the State University of Management, Doctor of Economics, Associate Professor

What draws me to research is the thirst for learning and exploring new things, the opportunity to express and share my thoughts, both through publications and through lectures and seminars when working with students. Successful development in this field requires dedication and perseverance, as well as the ability to persevere, as obstacles are inevitable on the path to defending a candidate's or doctoral dissertation.

Furthermore, family support is crucial: they have supported me throughout my career. I am also sincerely grateful to my academic supervisor and then academic advisor, Professor Evgeny Nikolaevich Smirnov, Head of the Department of World Economy and International Economic Relations at the State University of Management.

I'm thrilled to see the sparkle in students' eyes when I talk about what we do in science. When they say I reinforce their patriotic feelings, it makes me proud and happy.

Ekaterina Fedorovna Shamaeva: "Science provides an opportunity to improve the lives of future generations."

Associate Professor of the Department of Environmental Management of the State University of Management, Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor

Science is my calling, and I'm grateful to have found it. Above all, what draws me to scientific endeavors is the opportunity to improve the lives of society and future generations. This requires hard work and dedication, so successful development requires diligence and perseverance. Looking back, I would advise my 20-year-old self to be more relaxed and travel more.

My father in science and mentor was the Soviet and Russian scientist, Professor Boris Evgenievich Bolshakov, the author of more than 100 scientific papers devoted to the problem of sustainable development using spatiotemporal quantities.

Today, my research projects are aimed at improving the efficiency of regional development project management in order to practically improve the quality of life of the population.

Anna Mikhailovna Kanunnikova: "Science is freedom and the opportunity for continuous development."

Senior lecturer at the Department of World Economy and International Economic Relations at the State University of Management, PhD in Economics, was awarded the Young Scientist badge in 2025.

Scientific work appeals to me because of its combination of intellectual and creative freedom, as well as the opportunity for continuous development. To develop in this field, persistence, critical thinking, and the ability to work within a system and a team are crucial. It's also important to be able to delegate tasks rather than take on everything yourself.

I consider my mentor first and foremost to Professor Tatyana Nikolaevna Leonova of the Kaluga Region, who is currently Deputy Governor of the Kaluga Region. She taught me a great deal and instilled in me a love for research and international education. Professor Evgeny Nikolaevich Smirnov, Head of the Department of World Economy and International Economic Relations at the Kaluga Region, also made a significant contribution to my development as a scholar. He always finds the right words to motivate, offers advice, and shares his experience.

My research is primarily focused on achieving economic and digital sovereignty for the Russian Federation. When viewed in a global context, my research focuses on the development of the global education market.

Anna Mikhailovna Sotnikova: "Science is interesting, even if it is sometimes difficult."

Assistant of the Department of Public and Municipal Administration, Junior Research Fellow of the Scientific Activities Department of the UKNI, Chair of the Council of Young Scientists of the State University of Management, awarded the "Young Scientist" badge in 2025

The first step on my path to science was deciding to pursue a master's degree in a completely new and, at the time, challenging field: sociology. During my studies, I worked extensively with the science component, and I found it very interesting, albeit sometimes challenging, so I decided to continue. After all, science is a process in which you constantly develop and learn.

Success on this path requires, first and foremost, patience, as well as determination and a willingness to embrace challenges. If I could give advice to myself, just starting out on this journey, I'd say: "Keep going and doubt yourself less."

My research helps us better understand our society, how it is changing and why.

How scientists start their day

Our interview also asked how our scientists start their mornings. It turns out there's no single ritual: some can't imagine starting the day without coffee or warm water with vitamins, others start with work tasks, and for others, a piece of cake and a workout are essential. Yes, we're also interested in how to combine these elements, but that's what scientists are for: thinking outside the box.

We congratulate all the girls, young women, and women in science on their holiday. We wish your eyes to sparkle with joy more often, and your research applications to be approved without unnecessary delays. You make our world a better place, and for that, we are sincerely grateful. Happy holiday!

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

136 years ago, the outstanding writer and poet Boris Pasternak was born. His parents were members of Russia's cultural elite: his mother was a talented pianist, his father a prominent artist. Together with them, at the age of four, the boy visited Leo Tolstoy. This atmosphere of "high and exceptional" quickly sparked a genuine interest in art.

Finding your calling and first successes in literature

As a young man, Boris actively sought his calling: he drew, dreamed of becoming a composer, and studied at the conservatory. He was fascinated by foreign philosophy and even went to Germany to study. But it was literature that truly found his calling. His first attempts at writing began while still at university, but his real debut came in 1913. Lirika Publishing House published his collection, "Twin in the Clouds." It revealed not only his admiration for Alexander Blok and Andrei Bely, but also his own voice.

During World War I, Pasternak's main passion remained writing. He refined his style, worked on a new collection, made connections with young poets, and by the summer of 1917, he had completed the cycle "My Sister's Life." The work received positive reviews from professionals, and Pasternak himself became a role model for a new generation of creatives. Among his friends were such great authors as Vladimir Mayakovsky, Sergei Yesenin, Marina Tsvetaeva, Andrei Bely, and Mikhail Bulgakov.

In the 1920s and 1930s, the poet worked on poems ("Lieutenant Schmidt," "The Year Nine Hundred and Fifth") and translated European classics. During the Great Terror, he petitioned Stalin for the release of arrested artists, and during the Great Patriotic War, he secured permission to travel to the front as part of a writers' brigade.

The pinnacle of creativity and a ban on publications

His major work was the novel "Doctor Zhivago," which he worked on for 10 years, until 1955. In the Soviet Union, the novel was deemed anti-Soviet and offensive to the principles of socialism and was banned from publication. Therefore, the book was published abroad, where it enjoyed widespread distribution.

On October 23, 1958, the Nobel Committee in Stockholm announced the award of the Nobel Prize in Literature to the author "for significant achievements in modern lyric poetry, as well as for continuing the traditions of the great Russian epic novel." But the authorities set their own conditions for the writer: either the prize or life in his native country. He then wrote a telegram to Stockholm: "In view of the significance that the award bestowed upon me has acquired in the society to which I belong, I must decline it. Please do not take my voluntary refusal as an insult." However, the laureate was ultimately not replaced.

Rehabilitation and universal recognition

The Union of Soviet Writers completed its rehabilitation and posthumously reinstated Boris Pasternak on February 19, 1987. In 1988, the legendary novel was finally published in his homeland, in the magazine Novy Mir, and in 1989, the writer's son, Yevgeny, was awarded a Nobel Prize diploma and medal.

Boris Pasternak became one of the country's most celebrated writers, leaving behind a rich legacy. He translated world classics—Shakespeare, Goethe, Rilke, Verlaine, and others—and wrote unique collections of poetry and a novel that made the legendary writer famous throughout the country and beyond. His work is a model of literary endurance and outstanding talent.

Interesting facts

From 1936 until his death, Pasternak lived in Peredelkino, Russia's most famous literary village. Other famous writers and poets also lived there, including Korney Chukovsky, Andrei Voznesensky, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Bella Akhmadulina, Robert Rozhdestvensky, Rimma Kazakova, and Bulat Okudzhava. Today, many of the houses are museums, open to the public, including those with the Pushkin Card.

Boris Pasternak House Museum, Korney Chukovsky House Museum, Bulat Okudzhava Museum, Yevgeny Yevtushenko Museum and Gallery, Peredelkino Writers' House of Creativity

In 2004, American director Quentin Tarantino flew to Moscow for a film festival. However, his first stop was Peredelkino, to visit the grave of poet Boris Pasternak. When asked by journalists, "Why him?" he replied that he had known Pasternak's poems since childhood and considered him a literary idol: "He's a personality, you see, he's a personality."

Boris Zaitsev was born on February 8, 1881, in Oryol. His father was the director of the Moscow Goujon Metallurgical Plant. The boy spent most of his childhood on the family estate, alone with his family and nature, and often recalled these times as the best.

He received his initial education from governesses. At 13, he entered the Kaluga Realschule, from which, after graduating, he began studying in the chemistry department of the Moscow Technical School. However, Zaitsev did not complete his studies at the school—he was expelled in his first year for participating in student unrest.

Zaitsev attempted higher education twice more: once at the Mining Institute of St. Petersburg (1899–1901), and again at the Law Faculty of Moscow University (1902–1906). Boris never graduated from either institution, as he was exclusively interested in literature.

The literary path – with important acquaintances

Zaitsev began his writing career at the age of 17. In 1900, in Yalta, he met Chekhov, who "blessed" him to become a writer. A year later, he sent his first story, "An Uninteresting Story," to Anton Pavlovich and Vladimir Korolenko. His meeting with Leonid Andreyev and the "Sreda" circle also played a crucial role. There, in 1901, among talented contemporaries, he made his debut with the story "On the Road"—Andreyev published it in his magazine, "Courier." A year later, he began a long-standing friendship with another distinguished colleague, Ivan Bunin.

At the same time, Zaitsev became a member of the Moscow Literary and Artistic Circle. In 1906, he contributed to the publication of the magazine "Zori," which lasted for several months, and from 1907 onward, he was a full member of the Society of Lovers of Russian Literature and the Society of Periodical Press and Literary Workers. Between 1909 and 1911, his second and third books of short stories were published.

Before the revolution, in 1912, the stories "Blue Star" and "Agrafena," the novel "The Far Land," the play "The Lanins' Estate," and other works were published, which immediately attracted the interest of readers and were sold out.

Life during the Revolution and personal tragedies

In the summer of 1916, Zaitsev was mobilized and enrolled in the Aleksandrovsk Military School. In 1917, he published the brochure "A Conversation on the War." In March of that year, he was promoted to officer, but did not participate in combat due to poor health.

Boris Zaitsev was apolitical and found it extremely difficult to come to terms with the violence and destruction that was unfolding. It was happening all around him, and even within his own family—his nephew died in the February Revolution, and his stepson, a young officer, was executed on charges of involvement in the Denikin conspiracy. Zaitsev would later write:

"We didn't notice the clouds, though we unconsciously felt their weight. The barometer was low. Fatigue, dissipation, and lack of faith, both at the top and among the middle intelligentsia—the people remained silent, while destructiveness accumulated within them… It's hard to remember. We paid dearly, but that means we've accumulated enough sins. Revolution always comes with a price. There's no point in blaming the old Russia: it's better to look at ourselves. What kind of citizens were we, what kind of sons of Russia, of the Motherland?"

In 1921, he was elected chairman of the Moscow branch of the All-Russian Union of Writers, and at the same time, together with his colleagues, he founded the Writers' Bookshop, which helped them earn money. Boris Konstantinovich then joined the All-Russian Committee for Relief from Famine, for which he was arrested along with other members and spent several days in Lubyanka. In 1922, Zaitsev contracted typhus so severely that he hovered between life and death for 12 days. Having recovered somewhat from his illness, thanks to the intercession of Soviet leaders Lev Kamenev and Anatoly Lunacharsky, he received permission to travel abroad with his wife and daughter to improve their health. Having received a visa, he and his family traveled to Berlin. Zaitsev never returned to his homeland.

The Voice of "Quiet" Russia in Exile and Faith

In 1924, the writer moved permanently to Paris. Having retired from politics, he became one of the foremost guardians of the classical Russian tradition. He wrote novels about the fates of the Russian intelligentsia (The Golden Pattern, Strange Journey), fictional biographies of Ivan Turgenev, Vasily Zhukovsky, and Anton Chekhov, and essays from Italy, where he lived for a time.

The writer found strength to endure separation from his homeland in his faith. He worked on hagiographic portraits ("Alexei the Man of God," "St. Sergius of Radonezh," "Athos") and novels ("Gleb's Journey," "Memories," "The House in Passy").

A researcher of Zaitsev's work, Alexei Lyubomudrov, noted that only in exile, forever deprived of the opportunity to worship at holy places, did he comprehend their great spiritual significance and make mental pilgrimages to them in his essays.

Nobel Prize nominee and the last poet of the Silver Age

In 1962, at the age of 81, the writer was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Although he never received it, the event was a universal recognition of the talent of the "quiet" Parisian writer and a sign of respect for one of the oldest literary figures in exile.

Boris Konstantinovich lived to be 91, becoming one of the last representatives of the Silver Age, a witness to an entire era. Although he was not as widely known as his colleagues Anna Akhmatova, Boris Pasternak, and others, his work occupies a special place in literature. It reminds us of eternal values: harmony, humanity, and faith, becoming a source of peace of mind for the reader. "We are a drop of Russia… no matter how poor and disenfranchised we may be, we will never yield to anyone the highest values, which are the values of the spirit."

The French writer was born in the port city of Nantes on February 8, 1828. From childhood, he dreamed of travel and ships, and at 11, he even landed a job as a cabin boy on a three-deck ship, but never went to sea. He later wrote, "I must have been born a sailor, and now I regret every day that a naval career was not my lot from childhood."

Despite this, his father insisted on a legal career, and in 1848, he sent his son to Paris to study law. Jules rejected his father's entreaties to practice law after completing his studies. He finally decided to devote himself exclusively to writing and frequently attended literary salons, where he once met Alexandre Dumas. Thanks to his friendship with his son, Verne completed his play "Broken Straws," and thanks to Alexandre's intercession, it was staged on June 12, 1850, at the Théâtre Historique.

Verne's passion for adventure continued to live in his heart and found its way into his works. His first wave of popularity came with the novella "Five Weeks in a Balloon." Thanks not only to his personal experience but also to his incredibly rich imagination, he wrote 65 science fiction and adventure novels over the years.

Which ones should everyone read:

Children of Captain Grant The Mysterious Island The Fifteen-Year-Old Captain Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea Journey to the Center of the Earth Around the World in 80 Days

Jules Verne's novels are unique works that have become classics of world literature. They have been adapted into films, television series, and animated films (A Trip to the Moon, The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne, In Search of Captain Grant, The Incredible Journeys of Jules Verne: César Cascabel, and others). Since the mid-19th century, his novels have been continuously translated and are now available in 150 languages. This makes him the second most translated writer in the world, behind only Agatha Christie and ahead of William Shakespeare himself.

The renowned scientist was born on February 8, 1834, in Tobolsk, the 17th child in his family. After graduating from the city gymnasium, he decided to follow in his father's footsteps and enroll in the Main Pedagogical Institute, in the natural sciences department of the Physics and Mathematics Department, in St. Petersburg. His year of admission was not an acceptable one, so his mother, Maria Dmitrievna, petitioned the ministry to make an exception for her son, and an exception was granted.

The beginning of the scientific path

Studying at the institute was a privilege, which was reflected in the admission requirements, the curriculum, and funding:

Students were recruited every two years in small numbers. They were accepted on state support. The education was strong and focused on the development of individual abilities. A physics lab, a chemistry lab, and a library were located near the classrooms, which saved the students time and energy.

His first major research project was his dissertation, "Isomorphism in Connection with Other Relationships of Crystal Form with Differences in Composition." He wrote it under the supervision of Professor Alexander Voskresensky upon graduation from the institute. Mendeleev graduated in 1855 with a gold medal, defended his master's thesis in 1856, and in 1865, his doctoral dissertation, "On the Combination of Alcohol with Water." At the time, such an academic degree and professorial title were typically awarded to those approaching 40 years of age, after many years of service, but Mendeleev was only 33 at the time. This achievement was a true milestone in the world of science! He also began working as a privatdozent at St. Petersburg University, but also taught at other institutions of higher education.

Discoveries and achievements

Dmitry Ivanovich made his greatest discoveries, which revolutionized science, in the fields of chemistry and physics:

In 1869, he created the periodic table of chemical elements, which became the basis for atomic-molecular theory. In 1861, he published the first Russian textbook on organic chemistry. In the 1870s and 1874s, he studied gas elasticity and proposed a new derivation of the generalized equation of state of an ideal gas (the Clapeyron-Mendeleev equation). In the 1870s and 1880s, he researched metrology and refined the laws of atmospheric pressure dependence on altitude. He developed a precise theory of scales, proposing improved designs for the beam and arrester. Under his leadership, the pound and arshin standards were updated from 1893 to 1898, and Russian measures were compared with English and metric ones.

Mendeleev considered it "harmful" for a professor to simply teach his course. He should not only be actively engaged in scientific work but also be able to apply it. Therefore, he sought to make a practical contribution himself:

In the 1860s, he developed a technology for producing machine oils. In 1888, the scientist inspected coal deposits in the Donets Basin and drew up a plan for clearing the Don. He wrote a major work with an overview of Russian industry, which became an economic encyclopedia of Russia at that time. He worked in the scientific and technical laboratory of the Naval Ministry, developing a technology for the production of smokeless gunpowder. He edited sections of the famous Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary that were close to him, and wrote dozens of articles for it himself. At the age of 65, Mendeleev led an expedition to the Urals, which spent several months studying how to stimulate the industrial development of the region.

Dmitri Mendeleev was one of the most outstanding scientists of his time. This physical chemist's discoveries had a significant impact on the development of science and demonstrated how brilliant ideas can change our understanding of the world. His legacy lives on in every laboratory where research is conducted.
