On November 18, the State University of Management held a grand opening of a student coworking space in the basement of the Main Academic Building.

The space is intended to become a new center of attraction and a point of growth for the entire student community of the State University of Management.

The opening ceremony was attended by GUU Rector Vladimir Stroyev and Vice Rectors Vitaly Lapshenkov and Dmitry Bryukhanov. They personally assessed the new space and interacted with students who gathered to try out the new workspace.

"The opening of this coworking space is an important step in the development of our university's student infrastructure. We are creating an environment where students have every opportunity not only to study well but also to implement their projects, collaborate, and create. I am confident that this new, comfortable space will foster idea generation and growth," noted the SUM rector.

Immediately following the formal opening, a fascinating quiz was organized for the students, where they not only had the opportunity to test the zone's functionality in real time but also compete for cool prizes.

The first visitors appreciated the modern design, comfort, and flexibility of the new space, agreeing to return many times during the school year.

The project was implemented with the support of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs "Rosmolodezh" and the grant platform "Rosmolodezh.Grants".

Counteroffensive at Stalingrad: The Beginning of the Great Victory

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

November 19, 1942, became a landmark day in the history of World War II and, undoubtedly, in the history of Russia. On this day, the Soviet counteroffensive at Stalingrad (Operation Uranus) began, changing the course of the war and becoming a symbol of the courage and fortitude of the Soviet people.

By then, the city had endured an unprecedented onslaught of the invaders for four months, leaving not a single building standing. However, by mid-November, the German offensive on Stalingrad began to fizzle out. Having lost approximately 700,000 men, the Nazis needed reinforcements. The Red Army blocked the invaders' path to the positions of Friedrich Paulus's 6th Army, which increasingly looked doomed, despite being considered the strongest of the German field armies.

And the time has come for the long-awaited counteroffensive.

Preparing for Operation Uranus

Discussions on the offensive plan for Operation Uranus began as early as September 1942. The plan was to encircle and isolate the German group operating in the city area from the main Wehrmacht forces. Troops from three fronts were to overcome the German defenses and fight their way 120-140 kilometers in the north and 100 kilometers in the south. Having accomplished their objectives, they would rendezvous and encircle Paulus's army.

The primary focus was on artillery preparation. The operation was to involve 20,000 guns and mortars. The artillery strike was expected to be unprecedented. The areas where the artillery would be deployed were prepared in advance. The soldiers had reserves of dry rations, fuel, and ammunition. By the start of the operation, the units had received thousands of ammunition kits.

The beginning of the counteroffensive

On November 19, 1942, at 7:30 a.m., after a powerful 80-minute artillery barrage, Operation Uranus began with a salvo of Katyusha rocket launchers. The initial barrage raked the enemy's defenses to their full depth. Then, for half an hour, the artillery systematically destroyed the defenses. Each battery had a specific mission.

Then began the suppression period: the fire first rained down on the front line, then moved deeper into the German defenses, and then returned to the front line. Tanks and infantry went on the attack. But the artillerymen continued their work. Firing lines were set up every two to three hundred meters, and the artillery fired constantly from them.

On November 23, the Soviet encirclement ring closed, trapping approximately 330,000 enemy soldiers in a cauldron.

From November 24 to 30, the troops of the Stalingrad and Don Fronts, waging fierce battles with the encircled enemy troops, reduced the area occupied by them by half, squeezing them into an area of 70-80 km from west to east and 30-40 km from north to south.

Result of the operation

On January 8, 1943, the Soviet command presented Paulus with an ultimatum to surrender, but Hitler categorically forbade capitulation. Soviet troops then launched an offensive operation to completely defeat the 6th Army. Ultimately, Stalingrad was liberated. The remaining soldiers and officers, led by Paulus, surrendered.

The victory at Stalingrad became a harbinger of the Great Victory, as it marked the beginning of the Red Army's general winter offensive. This event not only bolstered the morale of Soviet soldiers but also gave hope to the entire Soviet people for a swift end to the war.

Preservation of memory

Today, 83 years later, we continue to remember and honor the heroic deeds of those who fought for Stalingrad.

In honor of this memorable date, Volgograd will be renamed Stalingrad for one day today, paying tribute to the resilience and heroism displayed during those difficult times.

The memory of the Battle of Stalingrad is an integral part of our history and serves as a lesson for future generations about the importance of defending our homeland and the values for which it stands.

There is such a profession – to instruct, teach and research

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

As we continue our celebration of Higher Education Teachers' Day, we invite you to recall the history of the formation and development of this profession, as well as to consider its role in modern society and its future.

Meaning of the word

The word "teacher" comes from the Old Slavic verb "prepodati," meaning to impart knowledge or to teach. Historically, teaching in higher education institutions was carried out by professors and associate professors, considered the intellectual elite.

The word "professor" in Latin means "mentor," while "associate professor" means "teacher." Therefore, the highest form of teaching at a university is mentoring, which goes beyond the transfer of knowledge and encompasses a broader range of tasks.

A worthy life for those who give knowledge

The special role of teachers in society and the need to ensure a decent life for them have been understood at every historical stage of our country's development.

The 1909 draft law noted: “There can hardly be any doubt that teaching work, along with a few other professions, is one of the most tiring, difficult and exhausting: therefore, in order to attract those who wish to teach, it is necessary not only to give teachers a salary that will ensure them a comfortable existence, but also to instill in them the confidence that as they progress in their service, their material well-being will increase, and that upon completion of their teaching career, they will receive a decent pension.”

In pre-revolutionary Russia, the average monthly salary of a professor was 250-400 rubles per month, which was approximately 8-13 times higher than the average Russian level at that time.

According to the statistical data collection "Number and Wages of Workers and Employees in the USSR (Results of a One-Time Statistic for March 1936)," the monthly salary of university employees in the USSR was 338 rubles, comparable to the salaries of engineering and technical workers and exceeding the national average by more than 60%. A professor's salary could reach 1,100 rubles per month. From the 1960s until the beginning of perestroika, a university professor's salary was comparable to that of a minister. The 1990s, due to a general decline in living standards, were characterized by a decline in the attractiveness of the teaching profession and an exodus of personnel from higher education.

Beginning in 2011, at the initiative of Vladimir Putin, then Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, a steady trend toward systematically increasing the salaries of university professors began, which impacted the motivation and quality of work in higher education.

According to statistics, the average monthly salary of teachers at higher education institutions currently exceeds the Russian average by 2.2 times.

Science is the engine of progress

In addition to teaching, university staff are also responsible for research. Science is the engine of progress, and therefore, the quality of this function determines the country's overall development and its position on the global stage.

Currently, university research accounts for 26% of organizations conducting scientific research and development, while a quarter of a century ago its share was around 13%. Moreover, in the USSR, university statistics were given a significant role.

Famous scientists of the State University of Management

Inspiring examples of outstanding academic teachers include the first rector and professor of the GUU (Sergo Ordzhonikidze Moscow Engineering and Economics Institute) Olimpiada Vasilyevna Kozlova, head of the statistics department and professor Nadezhda Matveyevna Vinogradova, professor Marina Romanovna Efimova, and others.

Olimpiada Vasilyevna Kozlova made a significant contribution to the development of management as an academic discipline and the training of qualified personnel for economics and public administration. She combined strategic management of the university with active research, facilitating the development of the faculty and the educational programs.

Nadezhda Matveyevna Vinogradova played a key role in the development of statistical education, including the introduction of new teaching methods and the training of scientific personnel. She made a significant contribution to strengthening the department's material and technical base and raising the scientific level of the department's activities.

Marina Romanovna Efimova's work focused on the development of statistical methods and their practical application in economics and management. She trained numerous students, actively implemented modern teaching technologies, and promoted scientific achievements. Under her leadership, the State University of Management's Department of Statistics became one of the leading centers for training statistics specialists.

Academic ranks and age structure

Currently, according to official data, more than half of university faculty members hold a candidate of science degree, and one in seven hold a doctorate, demonstrating the high level of qualifications among higher education staff. Thirty-eight percent of faculty members have been awarded the title of associate professor, and 9% have been awarded the title of professor.

The age composition of the faculty is characterized by the largest proportion of individuals aged 65 years and older, with the average age of an associate professor being about 51 years, and the average age of a professor being 61 years.

Over the past 15 years, the age structure of university faculty has changed significantly. The largest declines were observed in the age groups under 30 (from 11.9% to 6.1%) and 30 to 40 (from 24.4% to 18.1%).

Given historical experience and current trends, it is necessary to enhance the prestige of the teaching profession, attract talented young people, create decent working conditions and social support, implement modern methods of professional development, and ensure competitive salaries and career advancement.

The role of the teacher today

In the context of rapid technological progress and widespread access to information, the role of the teacher in society is increasing, and the functional task is becoming more multifaceted.

Modern teachers are not only conduits of knowledge, but also help students navigate the digital world and develop critical thinking, empathy, and collaboration skills—qualities that cannot be replaced by artificial intelligence.

In the era of artificial intelligence, it is teachers who will retain their unique role as champions of human values, creativity, and critical thinking. They will help younger generations adapt, learn, and shape the future.

The World Pomor: How an Arkhangelsk Peasant Created Russian Science

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On November 19 (November 8, old style), 1711, in the harsh Pomor village of Mishaninskaya near Arkhangelsk, a boy was born who was destined to revolutionize Russian science: Mikhailo was born into the family of a wealthy Pomor peasant, Vasily Dorofeevich Lomonosov, whose ancestors had spent generations on dangerous sea voyages in the White Sea.

Childhood and youth

The early years of the future beacon of intellect were darkened by the early death of his mother, the first literate teacher who taught him to read. When his father remarried, young Misha's life became a harsh trial: his stepmother was jealous of his thirst for knowledge, and reproaches were constantly heard in the house.

In December 1730, feeling an irresistible thirst for knowledge, a nineteen-year-old boy took a desperate step. One night, secretly from his family, he left his family home, taking only a little food and clutching two priceless books to his heart—Grammar and Arithmetic. Attaching himself to a convoy carrying frozen fish, he set out on foot for Moscow, a journey that took three long weeks.

His universities

In the ancient capital, fate smiled upon the stubborn Pomor: thanks to the patronage of Archbishop Feofan Prokopovich, he was able to enroll in the Slavic-Greek-Latin Academy, concealing his peasant origins. His years of study were not easy: he was older than most of his fellow students, endured ridicule, and lived in extreme poverty. But incredible tenacity, a fierce determination to stand up for himself, and brilliant abilities helped him overcome all difficulties.

Just six years later, in 1736, Lomonosov, among twelve of the best students, was sent to Germany to study mining, chemistry, and metallurgy. At the University of Marburg, under the guidance of the renowned philosopher Christian Wolff, he discovered European science, and in Freiberg, he learned the practical intricacies of mining from the stern master Johann Henckel.

The path to oneself

His return to his homeland in 1741 presented a new challenge: at the Academy of Sciences, Mikhail Vasilievich encountered opposition from German scholars who were unwilling to acknowledge the upstart self-taught scientist. But his genius could not go unnoticed: first Empress Elizabeth I and then Catherine II, recognizing his achievements, offered him patronage. Ivan Ivanovich Shuvalov, an enlightened nobleman who became a loyal ally and friend, played a special role in Lomonosov's life.

Rumor has it that Elizabeth Petrovna was particularly fond of the young scholar, practically calling him a brother. This gave rise to the legend that the tall and handsome Mikhailo was in fact the illegitimate son of Peter I, who traveled extensively through the Pomor lands while building the Russian navy. In reality, the great reformer's daughter was somewhat intimidated by the scholar's enormous stature and even said that he reminded her of her father in his fierceness and drive.

His University

In 1748, after much effort, the great figure of the Enlightenment established Russia's first chemical laboratory, where he launched research on an unprecedented scale. Amazing discoveries were born here: stained glass technology, mosaic smalt recipes, chemical analysis of minerals, "porcelains," "glasses," and even mosaics.

The crowning achievement of Lomonosov's efforts was the founding of Moscow University in 1755. Together with Shuvalov, he thought through every detail—from the curriculum to the admissions rules—insisting that the university's doors be open to talented youth of all social classes. "At the university, the student who has studied more is considered more respectable," he wrote, challenging class prejudices.

Mikhail Vasilyevich's scientific discoveries were ahead of their time: the law of conservation of matter, the wave theory of heat, the discovery of the atmosphere of Venus, and the fundamentals of physical chemistry. His 1755 "Russian Grammar" codified the Russian literary language, demonstrating its richness and expressiveness.

Lomonosov died on April 4, 1765, leaving behind not just scholarly works, but an entire country ripe for enlightenment. His life became living proof that true genius can overcome any obstacle—be it the harshness of the Pomor nature, the mistrust of academics, or class prejudices.

Celebrating the Creators of the Future: Today is Higher Education Teachers' Day

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Every year on November 19, Russia celebrates Higher Education Teachers' Day. This professional holiday is dedicated to those whose work is connected with science and the training of new generations of specialists. The date itself coincides with the birthday of the founder of the Russian academic system, a great figure of the Age of Enlightenment, Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov.

In 1696, a decree by Tsar Peter I ordered the invitation of foreign scholars to the empire and the sending of the most talented Russian students abroad. This document laid the foundation for the creation of the Academy of Sciences, which officially opened in 1724, after the death of the emperor. Saint Petersburg State University, founded that same year, became the oldest university in the country.

According to various sources—from the Russian Ministry of Education and Science to the media service portal Rambler—Russia's modern higher education system comprises over 1,000 universities, home to nearly 250,000 professors and over 4.2 million undergraduate and graduate students. In addition to scientific and educational achievements, our universities also hold records. Many of our leading universities stand out for their scale. For example, over 50,000 of our compatriots and foreign students are studying at Lomonosov Moscow State University, and our university has over 10,000 students this year. At the other extreme is the Russian Academy of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture, with 560 students. Here, the traditions of the medieval individual approach are preserved, when deans had no more than ten students, and everyone lived and studied as a single commune. MGIMO (U) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation holds a Guinness World Record for studying the largest number of foreign languages—55, including Swahili and Farsi. And the Ural State University of Physical Education offers a bachelor's degree in eSports coaching—one of the few such programs offered at the federal level.

The success of our domestic university community is unsurprising, as we boast some of the best higher education professors in the world. Judge for yourself:

Knowledge. The majority of Russian teachers hold academic degrees: 14.4% are doctors of science, 56.6% are candidates of science, and every other teacher holds an academic title: 8.7% are professors, 37.6% are associate professors. Wisdom. Teachers are predominantly over 50 years old: 19% are over 65, 30% are aged 50–64, 14.2% are aged 45–49, and 6.8% are young teachers under 30. Broader outlook. Each Russian university teacher teaches, on average, six courses, and at leading universities, the teaching load is five courses per teacher. Fundamentalism. The foundation of our academic teaching is a special form of scientific activity that explores the patterns of development of human society and all aspects influencing it. This is why 25.6% of the disciplines taught are in the social sciences. 20% are professional disciplines, 15.6% are technical sciences, 13.8% are mathematics and programming, 12.1% are humanities, 11.4% are natural sciences, 7.8% are foreign languages.

The State University of Management occupies a special place in the structure of Russian higher education—it was the first university in the country to begin training highly professional managers for the national economy. Our alma mater, dating back to 1885, has graduated over 200,000 highly qualified specialists, many of whom today shape the development of key sectors of the economy and public administration. SUM's ongoing participation in state research and educational programs confirms the university's status as a modern academic center, preserving its proud traditions in training future leaders.

On this festive day, the entire university community—students, alumni, and colleagues—heartily congratulates our esteemed faculty! Your wisdom, patience, and boundless dedication ignite an insatiable thirst for knowledge in the hearts of our students and postgraduates. Your daily work is our most valuable contribution to the future of Russia.

Thank you for every lecture, every piece of smart advice, and the warmth of your soul that you give to your students.

Happy Higher Education Teacher's Day!

I wish you good health, inexhaustible inspiration, talented students, and loyal disciples—not only on this holiday, but every day!

Vivat Academy! Vivant professors! Semper sin in flore!

The State University of Management (GUU) studied the state of Russian science: trends and challenges

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Today, the entire country celebrates Higher Education Teachers' Day. We thank our mentors for the knowledge they imparted, the practical experience they provided, and the path they paved the way to science.

In anticipation of the celebration, representatives of the State University of Management assessed the trends that have emerged in recent years in the development of human resources for Russian science.

Scientists have determined how the number of scientific personnel and organizations has changed, the average age of a researcher, which regions are most attractive to specialists, and how interest is related to average salaries. The analysis provides an answer to the question, "How to attract personnel to science?"

During the work, representatives of the Department of Statistics of the State University of Management, Ekaterina Dolgikh and Lidiya Parshintseva, studied data for 2018-2023, contained in the materials of the Federal State Statistics Service and the National Research University Higher School of Economics.

Where it arrived and where it departed

During the period under review, the number of organizations engaged in research and development increased by 4.4%, reaching 4,125 units. However, the total number of research staff decreased by 1.8%, reaching 670,600. However, the proportion of staff with higher education increased by 2%. This trend could lead to improved quality and reliability of research.

More than half of the workforce works in research and development organizations, and approximately 15% in design organizations, with the number of employees in both sectors declining over the past five years. At the same time, the share of personnel in industrial manufacturing organizations has increased from 7.8% to 12.3%, which may be due to increased production volumes.

Researchers are predominantly men, accounting for 61.4% in 2023. The average age of employees has remained unchanged since 2019, at around 46 years.

New personnel in science

In 2023, the number of admitted students increased by 11,900, reaching 112,200. There was also a nearly two-percent increase in the share of those admitted after graduating from a higher education institution. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the program in supporting young researchers, which is implemented by many scientific organizations and universities, offering internships, grants, and other opportunities.

The most scientifically advanced regions

Organizations and employees engaged in research and development are primarily concentrated in the Central Federal District, which in 2023 accounted for 37.4% of organizations and 50.4% of employed personnel. Significant figures are also observed in the Volga and Northwestern Federal Districts.

The lowest values for these indicators in 2023 were recorded in the Far Eastern Federal District: the share of organizations was 3.3%, and the number of personnel was 1.0%.

Not by salary alone

The researchers also examined the relationship between the availability of research and development personnel in organizations and wages in the region.

An interesting fact emerged: in a number of regions, despite high salaries, there is a shortage of research workers. These include the Arkhangelsk Region, the Nenets and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrugs, and the Zabaykalsky Krai. As for the autonomous okrugs, much of their economy is focused on resource extraction, which requires equipment and technology but does not always create demand for research or scientific personnel.

At the same time, despite low wages in the Penza region, we see a high level of availability of scientific personnel in organizations. This may be due to the presence of seven regional business incubators and the active development of the IT park.

How to attract people to science

As we can see, high salaries are not the only way to attract and retain researchers. A comprehensive approach is required. It is also important to create support funds for young researchers, allocating funds for their training, internships, participation in conferences, and publication of scientific papers.

The development and implementation of regional programs to attract and retain scientific personnel will have a positive impact on the human resource potential of science.

It is important to create modern research centers and laboratories, provide access to databases, libraries, computing and other resources necessary for conducting research.

To achieve the desired results, it is also necessary to establish interaction between the scientific community, government agencies and business.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On November 17, the State University of Management's expeditionary corps celebrated its first anniversary. About a hundred students and representatives of the expeditionary corps' partners gathered in the Business Center to review the past period and discuss their plans and prospects for the future.

The meeting was opened by Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, who emphasized the importance of participating in expeditions for developing management skills.

"I'm truly delighted that our university has established an expeditionary corps, as its work is largely volunteer and heartfelt. Moreover, it's a unique experience, an opportunity to get to know your country, its history, its different regions, and its culture. During expeditions, you make lasting friendships, having endured trials together and shared memories. As a student, I traveled extensively through the taiga and the mountains, and I still remember those days fondly," the rector admitted.

To further develop the geography of the expeditions, Vladimir Stroyev, on behalf of the university, signed cooperation agreements with Igor Sin'ko, Executive Director of the Clean Arctic NGO, and Mikhail Butrimov, Director of the Russian Ecosystem NGO. Representatives of these organizations already participated in 2025 in organizing trips for SMU students to the Arctic and the Vyzhegodsky District, respectively.

Vladimir Linnik, head of the GUU expeditionary corps and member of the Russian Geographical Society, spoke about the expeditions that took place in 2024-2025, showed videos of the trips prepared by the students, and shared plans for next year.

Representatives of the organizations that participated in the excursions expressed gratitude to the corps participants and to the State University of Management as a whole.

Mikhail Butrimov noted the high level of responsibility, enthusiasm, and willingness to work under any conditions, both among the GUU students and the faculty who accompanied them to the Vyzhegodsky District to restore the population of endangered plants. Hieromonk Nikon of the Zosima Hermitage, where our students visited approximately 30 times this year, shared his observation that both the expedition participants and the monks were able to understand each other's worldviews and overcome stereotypes. Dmitry Fedoseyev, head of the Clean Arctic volunteer groups, introduced the participants to the project's main activities and potential, and discussed who is suitable for Arctic expeditions.
