On October 21, 2025, the Scientific Library of the State University of Management hosted a master lecture by Grigory Gurov, Head of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh), Associate Professor of the Department of Public and Municipal Administration at the State University of Management.

Before the main part of the event, Anna Khaustova, program director of the Boiling Point at the State University of Management, introduced students to the results of a study conducted by the Center for Sociological Research "14-35" on the perception of spiritual and moral values among young people.

The lecturer was introduced by Sergei Chuev, Advisor to the Rector's Office and Head of the Department of Public and Municipal Administration at the State University of Management, who also noted that many of the Rosmolodezh leadership are graduates or employees of our university.

At the beginning of the meeting, Grigory Gurov briefly spoke about his family, university life, and his entry into youth politics.

"For me, working in youth policy is a matter of personal choice. If you want to do something, do it yourself, don't look for someone else to blame for the problem. Youth policy allows you to try out different roles and choose your future profession," the head of Rosmolodezh shared his opinion.

In his presentation, the speaker described the work of the federal agency he heads, which, despite its significant government status, must also be attractive to all categories of young people. Grigory Gurov focused on the national project "Youth and Children," the "Region for Young People" program, and grant support opportunities for student initiatives.

Before beginning his dialogue with the audience, the lecturer was presented with an album of his student photographs and a newspaper article from 2007. In answering questions, Grigory Gurov, in his characteristic manner, was extremely frank, speaking simply and fluently, in the same language as the students.

Please give three pieces of advice to students who want to work as civil servants.

"I didn't want that from the start. I've always been an ordinary person, simply resolving issues as they arose. And I still want to be perceived fairly, even if I arrive at the ministry not in a black car, but on a scooter. I don't like the Byzantine tradition of sanctifying power. But I'm not criticizing this attitude; it has its right to exist, it's just not my thing. So if I had to single out three essential qualities for a civil servant, I would say responsibility, service, and simplicity."

What are the deciding criteria for grant application approval?

"It's always a combination of factors. First and foremost, you need to understand whether the applicant understands the issue, has their own understanding, and genuine interest. This is immediately noticeable, so a grant may be awarded to someone who didn't initially fill out the best application but is genuinely interested in their project. Honesty is everything."

How did you present your student activism experience during interviews?

"To be honest, I wasn't an activist. And I wasn't the best student, which isn't something I'd say in this room. And I've never been to a standard interview where you walk in off the street to an unfamiliar company. I was helped by the horizontal connections I'd developed while participating in youth policy projects. This isn't nepotism; what's most important here is knowing the strengths and weaknesses of those you've previously collaborated with on projects."

Why doesn't the government pay enough attention to the psychological well-being of young people? And does Rosmolodezh have any psychological support programs?

"I think this is very important, and besides, my wife is a psychologist. And Rosmolodezh used to have a full-time specialist. But it's difficult for state institutions to quickly adapt to new trends; there are certain limitations, so first we need to develop appropriate formats and establish a documentary basis. At the same time, we shouldn't think of a psychologist as a panacea. These days, it's sometimes just a fashionable pastime. We need to learn self-analysis and learn how to strengthen ourselves from within."

What are the main goals of Rosmolodezh today?

"First and foremost, this is the implementation of the 'Youth and Children' project. Another important goal is increasing the proportion of people who believe in the possibilities of self-fulfillment in Russia. And great efforts are being made to attract troubled teenagers into our orbit."

How to get an internship at Rosmolodezh?

"It's very simple – just submit an official request. We usually don't refuse."

Can you say that you found yourself in youth politics?

"As a doubter, I can't say that. Maybe I can do something just as good in my life."

At the end of the meeting, the head of Rosmolodezh signed a book for the SUM Scientific Library and, on a simple piece of paper, provided contact information for the student who had not hesitated to ask about the internship.

We thank Grigory Gurov for the engaging conversation and encourage our students to embrace the many opportunities offered by the diverse extracurricular activities at SUM.

On October 22, 1987, the outstanding Russian poet Joseph Brodsky was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature with the following statement: "For his comprehensive work, imbued with clarity of thought and poetic intensity."

Joseph Brodsky was born on May 24, 1940, in Leningrad. During the siege of Leningrad, his family managed to evacuate to Cherepovets, and from then on, moving became a permanent part of the poet's life. He dreamed of becoming a sailor and a doctor, but instead worked as a milling machine operator, a stoker, and a lighthouse keeper. He participated in geological expeditions to the White Sea, Eastern Siberia, and Yakutia, and even participated in the discovery of a small uranium deposit. Throughout this time, he read prolifically and taught himself English and Polish.

Nineteen-year-old Brodsky's first public appearance took place at a poetry tournament at the Gorky Palace of Culture in Leningrad. The young author immediately became a household name, and he entered the literary circles of the northern capital, meeting Anna Akhmatova, Bulat Okudzhava, Sergei Dovlatov, and many others.

"You know, I'm leaving my homeland…"

In the 1960s, Joseph Brodsky, along with many other literary figures, was hounded in the press and accused of parasitism, despite officially publishing in children's magazines and translating. He was arrested twice and exiled to the Arkhangelsk region. Against this backdrop, as well as his break with his lifelong muse, the artist Marianna Basmanova (many of his poems are dedicated to M.B.), the psychological problems that had plagued him since childhood worsened.

Samuil Marshak, Korney Chukovsky, Alexander Tvardovsky, Konstantin Paustovsky, Dmitry Shostakovich, and even Jean-Paul Sartre issued official letters in defense of the poet. In 1965, after a year and a half of exile, Brodsky was released early. Nevertheless, he became persona non grata in the USSR. Only four of his adult poems were published, although he was already quite famous abroad and became a member of the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts. In 1972, the poet was asked to leave the country. His letter to Brezhnev asking him to stay at least as a translator went unanswered. The documents were processed in just 12 days, although such a process could usually drag on for up to a year.

Joseph Brodsky settled in the United States, where he accepted a position as "visiting poet" at the University of Michigan. Over the next 24 years, he held professorships at six American and British universities, taught the history of Russian literature and Russian and world poetry, and gave lectures and poetry readings in Canada, England, Ireland, France, Sweden, and Italy. His favorite city was Venice, which became the silent heroine of many of his poems.

“Yes, my heart is breaking even harder…”

On October 22, 1987, Joseph Brodsky was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. He became the fifth Russian laureate, following Ivan Bunin, Boris Pasternak, Mikhail Sholokhov, and Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Like Solzhenitsyn, rehabilitation awaited him in his homeland, but unlike Solzhenitsyn, Brodsky was unable to return, embarrassed by the increased media attention and fearing for his health after several heart attacks.

The great poet died of sudden cardiac arrest on the night of January 27–28, 1996, in the study of his New York apartment. A bilingual collection of Greek epigrams lay open on the table. According to his own wishes, he was buried in Venice's San Michele Cemetery between the graves of Igor Stravinsky and Sergei Diaghilev.

In the history of Russian poetry, Brodsky remains one of the most masterful wordsmiths, striking in his rich metaphors, complex rhythmic patterns, and broken rhymes. Themes of time and space, love and loneliness, language and geometry, antiquity and the sea run vividly through his work.

We will remain a crumpled cigarette butt, a spit, in the shadow under the bench, where the corner does not allow the sun to penetrate, and we will be compacted in an embrace with the dirt, counting the days, into humus, into sediment, into a cultural layer.

Participants of the State University of Management's "Spectrum of Innovations" acceleration program visited the Smart engineering center.

At the beginning of this semester, second-year students in the "Logistics and Supply Chain Management" program selected a project from an industrial partner. The client was Dream Auto LLC, a member of the "Union of Automotive Services" partner association. The students' project, tentatively titled "High Tier," aims to develop a business for establishing an electric vehicle service station. Modern digital technologies are used to address the challenges of business organization and customer service.

Collaboration with businesses has significantly expanded students' opportunities. In addition to mastering entrepreneurial skills through specialized training, students have the opportunity to visit industry-specific enterprises during project days, where they gain insight into engineering practices and develop their technical competencies. Last Thursday, students visited an engineering center specializing in the maintenance and repair of electric vehicles.

During the excursion, students learned about the internal workings of electric vehicles, the specifics of battery operation, and their service life and replacement. For example, repairs can take as little as 3-4 hours, but the main shortage is qualified personnel. To become an electric vehicle diagnostician, electricians must undergo advanced training: a one-month basic course; a six-day course on high-voltage architecture.

In essence, GUU students are becoming familiar with cutting-edge engineering developments that will shape business philosophy and the face of industry. Electric mobility isn't just a change in engine type; it's a new industry and new professions. The future is already here, and it demands new knowledge and competencies.

On October 22, 1990, Nizhny Novgorod was restored to its historical name. Why was the city renamed in the first place, and what did the great writer Maxim Gorky think about it?

The merchant capital celebrated by Ostrovsky's genius was founded in 1221 at the confluence of the Volga and Oka rivers by Prince Yuri (George) Vsevolodovich as a stronghold for defending the Russian borders from the Mordvins, Cheremis, and Tatars. Historians believe the city was named Nizhny due to its location in the "lower" lands relative to Novgorod the Great.

Impregnable fortress

For many decades, beginning in the late 15th century, Nizhny Novgorod was a reliable stronghold of Moscow in its struggle for the great river route. During this time, a stone Kremlin was built here, from whose walls, in the winter of 1612, a militia led by Kozma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky set out to fight the Polish-Lithuanian invaders. The city's calling card is Strelka, the confluence of the Oka and Volga rivers. In the Middle Ages, this was the center of the Strelitsky camp, hence the name.

From all over the country, goods were delivered here by watercraft to the famous Novgorod Fair, also known as the "pocket of Russia." The largest commodity trades were held here, and the Gostiny Dvor (trading yard) housed over 2,500 shops. It is no surprise that in the 18th century, Nizhny Novgorod became an important administrative center: from 1714, it became the provincial center, and from 1779 to 1796, it was the center of the entire Nizhny Novgorod Viceroyalty.

To the writer – from the people

In 1932, the entire Soviet Union celebrated the 40th anniversary of the creative work of the first proletarian writer, Maxim Gorky, who was born in Nizhny Novgorod and spent his difficult youth there. He later recounted this period in the first two parts of his autobiographical trilogy, "Childhood. Among People. My Universities."

For his literary services to the working class and workers, the Central Executive Committee of the USSR decided to award the writer the Order of Lenin and name a central Moscow street after him, establish 100 named prizes, create postage stamps, etc.

The people didn't remain on the sidelines: on August 26, 1932, at a ceremonial joint plenum of the regional committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks), the executive committee, the city party committee, and the Soviet, worker Ovsyannikov proposed naming Nizhny Novgorod after his fellow countryman. Factory workers who spoke next supported the idea.

Less than two weeks had passed before the Central Executive Committee of the USSR granted the request of the plenum participants: on October 7, 1932, Nizhny Novgorod became Gorky.

It's worth noting that the writer himself wasn't pleased with this honor. In a letter to Fyodor Khitrovsky, a Nizhny Novgorod journalist and local historian, Maxim Gorky wrote on February 19, 1933, from Sorrento: "Today, for the first time, I wrote Gorky on an envelope instead of Nizhny Novgorod. It's very awkward and unpleasant."

Back to the roots

The question of restoring the historical name arose in the 1950s, when Nikita Khrushchev, arriving in Gorky, called its residents Nizhny Novgorodians.

In July 1987, at the 5th All-Russian Congress of the Society for the Preservation of Historical and Cultural Monuments, artist Israel Ashkenazi proposed that Gorky delegates support an initiative to return the Volga pearl to its former name. However, in December of that year, the City Council of People's Deputies adopted a resolution to retain the Soviet name. However, a decision was later made to appeal to the authorities for a renaming. Ultimately, on October 22, 1990, the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR approved the return of Nizhny Novgorod from temporary oblivion.

New Time

Another famous native of Nizhny Novgorod is the ace pilot Valery Chkalov. Near the Strelka stands a monumental staircase named after Chkalov, a hero of the Strelka. Its observation decks offer majestic views of the Oka and Volga rivers. The 560 steps, 150 meters long, and unique figure-eight design lend the memorial staircase a solemn air—the steps were built in honor of the defenders of Stalingrad.

The longest aerial tramway in Europe has also been built here—over 3,600 meters, including 861 meters directly over Russia's main river. This isn't just a tourist attraction, but a fully-fledged public transportation system connecting the city with its satellite town, Bor. Before the air route, the journey took over 40 minutes by commuter train; now, the journey takes just 12.5 minutes. Thus, Nizhny Novgorod continues to develop, carefully preserving its centuries-old history—both in its name and in stone.

Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, participated in the So.Znanie Responsible Business Forum, which took place on October 17 in Nizhny Novgorod.

The forum brought together leading experts from government, commerce, and education. The plenary session featured speeches from Igor Shchegolev, Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Central Federal District; Igor Komarov, Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Volga Federal District; Gleb Nikitin, Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region; Alexander Avdeyev, Governor of the Vladimir Region; Olga Batalina, First Deputy Minister of Labor and Social Protection; Denis Butsayev, Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment; Timur Shinaliev, Deputy Head of the Federal Tax Service; and Alexander Shokhin, President of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs.

The forum focused on the implementation of ECG ratings as a tool for assessing the business reputation of companies and creating incentives for responsible business practices.

ECG rating: theory and practice

Our university is not simply participating in the discussions; it is actively developing the new ranking system. Since February 2025, SUM experts have reviewed over 200 questionnaires from participating companies and are providing consultations on completing the documents in constant contact with business representatives.

Ecology, personnel, state

The national standard has been in effect since 2024, essentially serving as a "certificate of integrity" for businesses. It establishes a business assessment methodology aimed at determining the level of trustworthiness, social, and environmental responsibility. The assessment is conducted in three areas: "E" — ecology and responsible attitude toward the environment; "K" — personnel, social policy, and corporate culture; and "G" — government, transparency, and partnership with government agencies.

The business program included more than 20 sessions devoted to economic, social policy, demography, and environmental issues.

Forum participants discussed priority development areas in demography, social policy, ecology, corporate culture, and business-government partnerships, and developed proposals to strengthen the role of responsible business in the country's development.

The So.Znanie ECG Forum is supported by the Office of the Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Central Federal District and the Nizhny Novgorod Region Government. Event partners include Sber and Rosseti Centre and Volga Region, and business partner Ruspolimet.

From October 15-17, the 2nd All-Russian Conference "Project Offices: Successful Strategies and Tactics" was held in Moscow, with students from the State University of Management taking part.

The All-Russian Conference "Project Offices: Successful Strategies and Tactics" is a key meeting for project office managers and their teams to discuss the transformation of their role and share experiences in applying the project-based approach in various business sectors.

This year's conference consisted of four tracks: Project Offices and Portfolio Management. Practices and Competencies; Change Management: Change Leadership Skills; Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Digital Transformation; and Product Transformation of the Project Office.

The conference was attended by over 500 people, and more than 80 speakers delivered speeches, including heads of project offices and project management departments from JSC GT Energo, JSC Zeta Insurance, JSC KAMA, JSC GNIVC, Gazprom TsPS LLC, JSC NPK Tekhmash, JSC TVEL (Rosatom State Corporation), PJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel, PJSC VimpelCom, OJSC TMK, JSC Rosgeologiya, and many others.

Among the speakers were also the heads of leading professional organizations in the field of project management in Russia: – Alexander Tovb A.S., President of the Project Management Association "SOVNET"; – Kutuzov A.S., Senior Vice President of OOO "PIEMSI" (PM Excellence); – Klimenko O.A., President of AMP "Project Alliance"; – Kim Yu.V., General Director of ANO "TsORPU" ("Center for Assessment and Development of Project Management").

The event provided a platform for productive dialogue between specialists in the fields of project, program, and portfolio management.

On the first day, key topics focused on project office trends in large companies. Experienced executives shared case studies on digital process transformation, efficiency improvement, and the implementation of agile methodologies.

The second day was devoted to the product transformation of the project office, the specifics of product project management, and product management tools. The discussion focused on how artificial intelligence technologies are already evolving and transforming project management: from risk forecasting and routine automation to intelligent data analysis for strategic decision-making. The information gained opens new horizons for practical application in the professional work of project managers.

Fourth-year undergraduate students from the Project Management Department, Sofya Gudkova and Angelina Ryzhova, participated in the conference and discussed the significance of this event for their academic work:

"We thank Alexander Samuilovich Tovba and Ekaterina Andreevna Khalimon for the opportunity to attend the conference! It was crucial for us to attend the event, as since the beginning of the year we've been researching the role and function of project management offices in implementing organizational strategy. However, the information found in academic and online sources is more general, theoretical, and methodological in nature, and most sources focus on the pre-pandemic period. We desperately needed up-to-date information from practitioners."

A significant meeting for participants in the "Business and Entrepreneurship Course" module, offered by the State University of Management, was held at the All-Russian Children's Center "Ocean" as part of the "Professional Trials" educational program. Primorsky Krai Minister of Economic Development Andrey Blokhin was a guest.

"Every large business was once small. We all understand perfectly well that we have to start somewhere. You, young people, are still thinking outside the box; you may have a different approach and vision for business development. Using new technologies, like artificial intelligence, is already challenging for many adults, but not for you. Our main goal is to attract you to business and develop our economy," Andrei Blokhin told the schoolchildren.

First, the students heard a report on the development of entrepreneurship in the Far East. The minister described support measures, business projects underway in Primorye, and the grant system. He shared his personal experiences and discussed real-life cases and challenges facing the modern world with the teenagers. Afterward, each young entrepreneur had the opportunity to have their questions answered in a lively and open dialogue.

"I really enjoyed the meeting—we had a truly interesting guest. The minister spoke about business support measures in Primorsky Krai. This was very useful for me, as I plan to move to Vladivostok to live and study, and eventually start my own business. And I was interested to hear and learn about the region's future plans for entrepreneurship," shared Valeria Babicheva (Kemerovo Region).

For schoolchildren, this meeting was a unique opportunity to gain first-hand information from someone directly involved in shaping the economic policy of one of Russia's most dynamic regions.

"The 'Business and Entrepreneurship Course' module of the 'Career Trials' program, supported by the Russian Ministry of Education, is designed to help teenagers take their first conscious steps into the world of economics and entrepreneurship. The meeting with the Minister served as a powerful stimulus and source of inspiration for them to further develop their own business ideas," noted Ekaterina Snigir, a methodologist in the educational program development department at the All-Russian Children's Center "Ocean."

As a reminder, the "Business and Entrepreneurship Course" program is being implemented by the State University of Management at the initiative of the Russian Ministry of Economic Development, with the support of the "Our Future" regional social programs fund and Sberbank of Russia. The course is designed for students aged 14 to 17 and aims to develop project-based thinking, foster entrepreneurial competencies, and motivate them to make informed career choices in business and management.
