November 8th marks the International Day of the Club of the Funny and Inventive (KVN) in Russia – a holiday dedicated to one of the most popular and iconic comedy TV shows that has united many generations of students.

From the Czech idea to Soviet humor

The roots of KVN go back to 1957, when the 6th World Festival of Youth and Students was held in Moscow. It became clear then that Soviet television lacked programs for young people. The "Festival Editorial Board," formed under the leadership of Sergei Muratov, proposed its own version: "Evening of Merry Questions" (VVV), a Soviet version of the Czech program "Gadai, Gadai, Gadalschik."

A distinctive feature of the format was the inclusion of the audience in the game—no one simply sat in front of the screen. The tasks were absurdly difficult and hilarious at the same time: live on air, participants had to bring to the studio the seventh volume of Jack London, a potted ficus, and a kerosene stove, and in the summer, they had to show up wearing a fur coat, a hat, and felt boots. It was precisely this curious incident that led to the closure of VVV: a crowd of students flooded the studio, overwhelmed the police, tore up the curtains, and caused utter chaos. The broadcast was interrupted, and the recording, alas, was lost.

The Birth of the Club of the Merry and Resourceful

Four years later, on November 8, 1961, a team of former VVV writers launched a new project—the Club of the Merry and Inventive. The name alluded to the popular television brand KVN-49, and the abbreviation emphasized the spirit of the game. The first host was Albert Axelrod, and in 1964 he was replaced by railway student Alexander Maslyakov, who remained the host until 2022. Incidentally, Maslyakov's popularity was so strong that asteroid 5245 Maslyakov, discovered by the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory, was even named after him.

The first games were held without any strict rules: competitions emerged spontaneously, tasks were created on the spot, and students joked about both everyday life and ideology. By 1964, classic competitions had emerged—warm-up, STEM, BREEZE, captains' competition, and homework. KVN also has its own music festival, "The Voice of KiViN," and the cheerful bird of the same name became the symbol of the entire competition.

Closure and revival

KVN's popularity grew, but television strictly controlled its humor. For example, shortly before the show's temporary demise in 1971, participants were banned from wearing beards on stage—censors saw this as a mockery of the founder of communist ideas, Karl Marx. Despite this, KVN remained a favorite show for students and schoolchildren until its demise became a symbol of stagnation in the USSR.

In 1986, KVN was revived thanks to the initiative of former players, and Alexander Maslyakov returned as host. The show received a new structure: league levels, a rating system, and new competition formats. The game's anthem changed: first, "On the appointed day, at the appointed hour," and after the break, "We are starting KVN."

Over time, KVN became a veritable breeding ground for Russian show business talent. The club produced Mikhail Zadornov, Yuli Gusman, Mikhail Galustyan, Sergey Svetlakov, Timur Batrutdinov, Garik Kharlamov and Martirosyan, Valdis Pelsh, Leonid Yakubovich, the Uralskie Pelmeni and Once Upon a Time in Russia teams—the list goes on and on, as KVN served as a launching pad for countless talented artists, directors, and producers. The game gave them not only popularity but also invaluable experience in engaging with audiences, creating high-quality humor, and connecting with a wide variety of audiences.

The structure of modern KVN

The current structure of the International Union of KVN is a multi-tiered league system, comprising over 7,000 teams. The central platform is the Major League, while the Premier League serves as a preparatory stage for entry into it. Since 1993, the First League has been in operation, providing preferential access to the Major League.

Since 2013, the union has operated an International League, comprising approximately twenty teams. The teams for the television leagues are formed based on the results of the International Festival in Sochi: teams that advance to the second round receive final approval from the union president.

KVN League of the State University of Management

The KVN League has existed at our university since April 1999. It was founded by members of the "GUU National Team," who developed a system for training new players and representing the university at regional and national levels.

Every year the following events take place at the State University of Management:

KVN School – training sessions for beginners with lectures and practical exercises from the editors of the Moscow Student League; the All-Russian KVN School – master classes, writing materials, and teamwork; and the Moscow and Moscow Region League Structures Festival, where teams are assigned to leagues and have the opportunity to advance to the Central or Major Leagues.

Our teams regularly participate in Moscow and national tournaments, learning from the best KVN players in the country. Many graduates of the KVN League at the State University of Management have found success not only in their professional careers but also in their creative fields, proving that leadership and a sense of humor are a wonderful combination.

In 2012, the KVN League of the State University of Management won the Youth Council Prize under the Prefect of the South-Eastern Administrative District of Moscow in the category "Best Organization in the Sphere of Youth Leisure."

It's worth noting that our League is more than just a creative association, but a true school of life for future managers. Participation in the games teaches students teamwork, creative thinking, communicating their ideas to an audience, and confident public speaking—qualities essential to a modern leader.

Congratulations to everyone involved—the organizers, directors, players, fans, and especially the KVN League of the State University of Management—on International Club of the Funny and Inventive Day! May every warm-up in life, as in the game, bring thunderous applause, and every homework assignment receive an A+!

November 8th marks World Urbanism Day, also known as Urbanism Day, established in 1949 on the initiative of architect Carlos Maria della Paolera, a professor at the University of Buenos Aires. The day aims to highlight the importance of sound urban planning and the creation of comfortable and sustainable environments in megacities.

According to the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat), residents of the "concrete jungle" make up at least 75% of the Russian population, highlighting the particular importance of urban management and planning for the entire country. This is why the State University of Management offers a relevant program, "Urban Studies and City Management," training professional municipal and territorial leaders. This program is aimed at preparing specialists capable of effectively addressing the challenges of modern urbanization, creating effective urban systems, managing infrastructure development, and ensuring a high quality of life in the metropolis.

The State University of Management and the Moscow City Branch of the All-Russian Student Rescue Corps (VSKS) held a joint campaign in support of military personnel participating in missions in the special military operation zone.

Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, and Vice Rectors Vitaly Lapshenkov and Pavel Pavlovsky, along with Maxim Dzhetygenov, Head of the Moscow City Branch of the VSKS, and Corps volunteers, sent humanitarian aid as part of the "GUU – SVOIM" project. The aid included camouflage nets and trench candles made by our students. This initiative has become a significant example of the university community's unity. Students, faculty, and staff at the State University of Management joined forces to provide concrete assistance to those defending the country today and to express their gratitude for their service.

"Participating in collecting humanitarian supplies for our soldiers is undoubtedly important and necessary. It is each of us's duty to help, to the best of our ability, those who defend our lives and our freedom. We send essential items to the front that are constantly needed in large quantities (household and hygiene products, food), and we also purchase items upon request from soldiers," noted Vladimir Stroyev.

As a reminder, the "GUU – SVOim" campaign began in January 2024. The previous shipment departed on September 30th. Our project is part of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation's public campaign "Universities for the Front!", created to collect humanitarian aid for service members of the SVO and civilians in neighboring regions of Russia.

The All-Russian Forum of Student Education Quality Committees and Student Opinion Research Centers, "Exploring Students," was held at the State University of Management. This significant event brought together approximately 100 representatives from 30 Russian universities, who came together to discuss development directions for a reliable system for researching the needs and concerns of students and their communities.

The forum's geography was quite extensive: from Kaliningrad to Chelyabinsk and from Surgut to Stavropol. This diversity of participants created a unique atmosphere for exchanging experiences and opinions, which allowed for the identification of common challenges faced by students in different regions.

At the opening ceremony, those gathered were greeted by Pavel Pavlovsky, Vice-Rector of the State University of Management, and Nikolai Zhdanov, Chairman of the All-Russian Public Youth Movement "Association of Students and Student Associations of Russia."

"I sincerely believe we need to conduct as much diverse research as possible. Today, there's a huge demand from young people for decision-making power. Only when students themselves participate in the discussion of their position in society will they lose the sense of being mere figurines and develop a sense of belonging to their homeland," Pavel Pavlovsky emphasized.

Together with experts from the Association of Trainers of the Russian Union of Youth, Forum participants worked in three workshops:

"Opinion Research," where students went from research conception to product development—a kinesthetic questionnaire and in-depth interviews. "Solution Formation," where students learned tools for problem solving, idea generation, and hypothesis testing. "Interaction with Administration," where activists attempted to view student initiatives through the eyes of management and create tools for effective interaction.

To obtain optimal feedback and improve the productivity of further work within the educational component, separate blocks were devoted to assessing the quality of the program.

At the forum's closing, participants discussed the results and held an informal ceremony to initiate participants into the All-Russian public youth movement "Association of Students and Student Associations of Russia."

Based on the results, a methodological guide for the work of education quality commissions and student opinion research centers will be published.

It should be noted that the forum is organized by the State University of Management and the Association of Students and Student Organizations of Russia. It is being held with a grant from the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh) and with the assistance of the Student Council of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, the 14-35 Center for Sociological Research, and the Commission of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation for the Development of Higher Education and Science.

At the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation (CCR) forum, a new system of state migration policy was discussed. Vladimir Volokh, professor of the Department of Public Administration and Political Technologies at the State University of Management and a member of the Presidential Council for Interethnic Relations, spoke.

In his opening remarks, Vladimir Zorin, Chairman of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation's Commission on Interethnic, Interreligious Relations, and Migration, noted that the meeting was discussing a strategic planning document, which is a compelling argument for strengthening the country's sovereignty and security.

Alexander Perezhogin, Head of the Information Support Department for the Implementation of State Migration Policy at the Department of Digital Development and Information Technology of the Service for Citizenship and Registration of Foreign Citizens of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, discussed the practical mechanisms for implementing the concept.

In his speech, Professor Volokh emphasized that the Concept of State Migration Policy for 2026–2030, approved by decree of the President of Russia, was the result of a broad public debate involving government officials, experts, and public organizations at the federal and regional levels. Vladimir Aleksandrovich emphasized that the new doctrine will prioritize the implementation of new control and automation tools, as well as the targeted, organized recruitment of migrant workers. After all, the document, for the first time, enshrines the creation of a digital profile for foreign citizens and the development of a unified system for interdepartmental data exchange. Furthermore, the concept provides for facilitating the relocation to Russia of foreigners who share traditional Russian spiritual and moral values, as well as assessing the effectiveness of agencies.

Experts noted the importance of business participation in implementing migration policy. Proposals were made to improve the digital maturity of services, reduce paperwork, and create a registry of unscrupulous intermediaries. Company representatives expressed confidence that automating notification procedures will reduce errors and the risk of counterfeiting.

Participants in the thematic section discussed issues related to the stay of migrant children in the country, including education and Russian language proficiency. The need to develop an adaptation infrastructure and differentiated approach to migrant and refugee children to prevent their social isolation was emphasized.

The speakers agreed that the updated concept will become an effective tool for strengthening sovereignty, security, and integration, and that its successful implementation is impossible without the active participation of civil society. It was decided to continue working on the proposals in working groups and submit them to the relevant agencies for inclusion in the action plan through 2030.

Before National Unity Day, third- and fourth-year students majoring in Advertising and Public Relations, led by instructors Olga Vasilyeva and Alexandra Timokhovich, visited the Museum of the Patriotic War of 1812 to refresh their memories of the Napoleonic Wars.

During the tour, the children examined over 2,000 exhibits and learned about the exploits of Russian soldiers and commanders who demonstrated impressive courage and selflessness. "I was particularly struck by the 'Road to Triumph' hall, dedicated to the Russian army's foreign campaigns and the decisive battles leading to victory over Napoleon. The exhibit vividly illustrates the journey from the expulsion of the invaders from Russia to the complete defeat of the French army, highlighting the genius of the commanders and the indomitable spirit of the Russian people. This is not just a chronology of victories, but a story of the unity of nations in the struggle for freedom," shared Emilia Vasilenko.

The museum's exhibition is structured chronologically, from the early 19th century to the end of the pan-European confrontation of 1815. Display cases feature reconstructed uniforms of the Russian and French armies, weapons, and authentic items from soldiers' everyday lives. Modern multimedia technologies make the visit interactive and visual.

"When you stand before the authentic uniform of a private from the Pavlovsky Grenadier Regiment, and interactive battle maps come to life on the wall, it's a powerful experience. This combination allows you to study the tactical aspects of the battle in detail. We felt how important it is to preserve the memory of the past and share it with others," said Ekaterina Smirnova.

Students were able to experience the world of commanders-in-chief, see the personal belongings of Emperors Alexander I and Napoleon Bonaparte, and the monumental paintings of Vasily Vereshchagin and the final hall with military trophies vividly demonstrated the triumph of the Russian army.

"The museum visit was a true journey through history, helping us feel the spirit of the times and understand how culture and communication intertwine even in a museum setting. For us, communications students, the museum became an example of how to connect with an audience without words—through emotion, aesthetics, and atmosphere. The combination of historical accuracy, modern technology, and rare exhibits makes the museum's exhibition not just educational, but truly vibrant and emotional," noted Angelina Igoshina.
