The final defense of projects by grant recipients for financial support of research and development (R&D) work to ensure the technological independence and global competitiveness of Russian unmanned aerial systems in priority technology areas took place on November 19. Vice-Rector Maria Karelina, SUMU research fellow and project manager Dmitry Nikitin, and Chief Designer of JSC Ploshchad, Alexander Kostin, presented their R&D project on the topic of "Development of a technology for controlling a swarm of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) based on artificial intelligence for the effective implementation of group deployment scenarios" to the NTI expert jury.

Drone Swarm: A Service-Based Approach

The research aims to minimize human involvement in unmanned aerial vehicle control and simultaneously enable UAVs to perform group tasks. The R&D goal is to develop an integrated network computing environment—an infrastructure for UAV control—that implements centralized, partially centralized, and autonomous scenarios. The demonstrator, delivered as a result of this work, will be a powerful server with deployed software for task planning and drone swarm management in a centralized scenario, as well as for swarms in semi-centralized and autonomous scenarios.

The economic impact is achieved through the implementation of a service-based approach, whereby ready-made computers and software enable the rapid modernization of existing UAVs, as well as the ability to provide device management services. The system created as part of this project is infinitely scalable, has no hidden data, and will be developed entirely by domestic developers. It is an important component of Russia's technological sovereignty.

The project will be implemented jointly with its industrial partner, NPO RUSTECHDRON, a Russian technology company engaged in the development and production of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), and the training of pilots and technical specialists. The co-implementer is JSC Ploshchad, a leading developer of software and hardware solutions for the military and civilian use of drones using artificial intelligence technologies.

The project submitted to the competition was highly rated by experts and received a grant of 294.7 million rubles for its implementation. The meeting minutes are posted on the NTI Foundation website.

Science and technology

Over the past three years, the State University of Management has been actively developing the field of unmanned aerial systems and creating the necessary research infrastructure within the university. Currently, the State University of Management's Engineering Project Management Center is working on three key UAS projects:

Development and justification of approaches to planning and implementing the introduction, deployment, and organization of the use of autonomous unmanned systems, robotic complexes, and infrastructure networks for communication, navigation, surveillance, and control, ensuring the operation of such systems and complexes, with specified regulatory levels of flight and movement safety of the complexes, and the probability of performing functional tasks. Development of a methodology for the application of software and hardware systems for autonomous unmanned aerial photography and technology for automatic vectorization of its results for the purposes of construction supervision. Analysis of the production and use of robotic devices and complexes in the construction industry and forecasting demand for a negative, inertial, and innovative scenario.

Furthermore, in 2025, TSUIP specialists won the 2nd All-Russian Competition for Young Scientists. The project, "Hybrid Decision Support System: Integration of a ML Cascade and LLM for Synthesizing Analytics in Logistics," addresses one of the key challenges of modern logistics in the transport industry: processing large volumes of disparate data.

BAS: university base

The Digital Innovations for Industry Lab has been opened at the State University of Management (SUM) within the RosGeoTech Advanced Engineering School. The lab is implementing the ABRIS project, which aims to create a hardware and software system for automated monitoring of oil and gas infrastructure facilities using unmanned aerial systems and mobile robots.

A major research project in the agricultural sector is dedicated to ensuring food security through the development of hardware and software systems and intelligent digital platform solutions. The project partners with high-tech companies specializing in robotics, unmanned systems, and digital agricultural solutions, including Cognitive Technologies, DigitalAgro, GeoScan, and others.

The Student Design Bureau of the State University of Management is working on areas such as the development of equipment, software, and infrastructure for UAS, mobile and technological robotic systems for solving problems in the oil and gas industry, the development of a highly maneuverable high-speed UAV, the creation of a portable anti-drone system, and the creation of machine vision systems.

The scientific groundwork of the State University of Management will serve as a fundamental basis for the successful implementation of a new research project in the field of UAS, aimed at developing a technology for controlling a swarm of unmanned aerial vehicles based on artificial intelligence for the effective implementation of group deployment scenarios.

On November 24, a meeting of the Council of Supporting Scientific and Educational Organizations of the Rostec State Corporation was held in Moscow. It was attended by Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov, Minister of Industry and Trade Anton Alikhanov, Rostec CEO Sergey Chemezov, representatives of the Corporation's holding companies, and rectors of leading Russian universities, including a delegation from the State University of Management, led by Rector Vladimir Stroyev and Vice Rector Maria Karelina.

At the meeting, eight strategic partnership agreements were signed with eight leading Russian universities: RANEPA, Samara University named after Korolev, UUNiT, Moscow State Law University named after Kutafin, KNITU-KAI, National Research University MPEI, Russian State University named after Kosygin, and South Russian State Pedagogical University named after Platov.

The Minister of Education and Science noted that the Ministry, including in collaboration with Rostec and the Union of Mechanical Engineers, is currently implementing a number of major projects and programs aimed at improving the quality of engineering education and promoting its popularization. These projects include industrial postgraduate programs, a program for the construction of modern campuses, the creation of advanced engineering schools, and the Priority 2030 program.

"When these programs and projects are implemented in the regions, we see that the outflow of young people not only stops. In some cases, they serve as magnets for young scientists and specialists from all over the country," noted Valery Falkov.

Anton Alikhanov, in turn, noted that over the past five years, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has funded more than 1 trillion rubles in research and development through the state program "Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation." This program involves 155 universities and research organizations, as well as more than 1,300 enterprises.

"Over 550 projects have been supported under the unified R&D subsidy over six years. Since 2022, 470 projects have been implemented through the reverse engineering mechanism. Grants from the Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises are also available to support startups with high commercialization potential. We have agreed with the Foundation to implement special programs specifically tailored to national tech leadership projects," said Anton Alikhanov, Minister of Industry and Trade.

"In these challenging times for the country, both universities and industry must work together for a common cause. The combined efforts of university research and industry yield positive practical results. To this end, we are building the closest possible partnerships with universities—our companies collaborate with 140 universities across the country. We are enriching our educational programs with disciplines in demand in real-world production. We are creating the conditions for the development of young science. We support Advanced Engineering Schools—we already have 22 of them. We are funding R&D at leading universities and research institutes, involving young scientists—last year alone, approximately 17 billion rubles were invested in this. We are participating in the industrial postgraduate program initiated by the Ministry of Education and Science. These and other measures are aimed at one goal—to make our country even stronger and technologically independent," commented Sergey Chemezov, CEO of Rostec State Corporation.

The Council of Supporting Scientific and Educational Organizations under the Rostec State Corporation was established in 2024. Its mission is to unite the efforts of science and industry to create new technological solutions. Its members are developing mechanisms for developing cooperation between science and industry. In 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin approved two fundamental documents aimed at strengthening interaction between the scientific and industrial sectors: the updated Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation and the Decree on the National Development Goals of the Country through 2030 and through 2036.

The meeting discussed pilot projects in the area of science and industry cooperation, including industrial postgraduate studies, the creation of research and production associations at universities, industrial state assignments, and others.

The project results were summarized by Elena Druzhinina, Managing Director for Science and Business Cooperation and Chair of the Council of Scientific and Educational Organizations.

The State University of Management has always been a leader in training management personnel for sectors of the domestic economy. Over the past two to three years, we have significantly expanded our competencies in unmanned technologies, engineering design, technology projects, digital platforms, robotics, and control system automation, as evidenced by the successful completion of a major research project in agricultural technology, contract work commissioned by companies within Transmashholding, and research projects within the framework of the RosGeoTech Scientific and Educational School. As we have come to understand over time, this is the right direction, which is undoubtedly aimed at achieving key national goals—achieving food security and the state's technological leadership. Such rapid development of fundamental and applied science is impossible without the support of the Ministry of Science and Education, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, and the Ministry of Economic Development.

"The university's technological focus on research enables us to train not only management personnel with high professional competencies in the industry, but also a pool of young scientists capable of teamwork and project leadership. The invitation the university received to this event is proof of this. In the near future, we plan to propose to Rostec Corporation projects that would be interesting for joint implementation. The university plans to continue developing in this area, expanding the scope of its scientific research. With significant engineering expertise, confirmed by successful experience in implementing large-scale projects, we soon plan to sign an agreement with PJSC Signal, which is part of JSC Concern Radio-Electronic Technologies, a subsidiary of Rostec State Corporation," said Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management.

Together with the Rostec State Corporation and the Moscow government, the State University of Management is a member of the "Quality of Life in a Megacity" consortium of divers, a strategic academic leadership program for the development of the Russian economy. The main goal of this partnership is to unite the efforts of government agencies, educational, and scientific organizations to address practical development challenges in megacities and urban agglomerations in the following areas: digital management technologies, integrated environmental safety, transportation, road infrastructure, and logistics, product promotion and sales, information and communication technologies, ensuring the safety, availability, and quality of food, goods, and services, and big data analysis in socioeconomic research.

32 years since the return of St. George the Victorious to the Moscow coat of arms

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On November 23, 1993, Moscow officially returned its historical coat of arms, approved in 1781. The coat of arms was recreated based on the iconographic motif of "The Miracle of St. George and the Dragon" and its depiction on seals, coins, and the princely and royal coats of arms of ancient Rus'.

From an unnamed horseman to St. George the Victorious

The first depiction of a horseman piercing a dragon with a spear appeared on coins in the 15th century, during the reign of Prince Vasily II the Dark. At that time, this horseman did not represent a specific hero, but rather a symbol of an ordinary warrior who had vanquished the forces of darkness.

An unnamed dragon-fighting horseman became established as the coat of arms of the Moscow prince under Ivan III, and in the 16th century, under Ivan IV, a scene with a mounted spearman appeared in the center of the image of a double-headed eagle, the official coat of arms of the state, as a symbol of the fight against foreign invaders.

In the early 18th century, under Peter the Great, military regiments were named after the city where they were stationed, along with a banner and emblem. In 1712, the Moscow Regiment began using a double-headed eagle and a horseman piercing a serpent with a spear on its banner. Since the design closely mirrored the Russian coat of arms, over time, only the horseman with a spear remained on the emblem. At that time, according to some researchers, the horseman slaying the serpent began to be identified with St. George the Victorious.

Official approval and first changes

In 1781, Catherine II approved the Moscow coat of arms at the state level, marking an important step in the development of the city's symbolism. The official document emphasized that this coat of arms was "old," meaning it had previously been used as the city's emblem.

In the last third of the 19th century, the coat of arms underwent changes: the warrior in the image began to gallop to the viewer's left, in line with the canons of Western heraldry. The spear was tipped with a cross, reinforcing its association with Christianity. The coat of arms also featured the imperial crown, St. Andrew's ribbon, and scepter, emphasizing Moscow's status as the capital of the Russian Empire.

Star Replacement

After the 1917 Revolution, the "old regime" emblem was abolished. In 1924, architect Dmitry Osipov created a new coat of arms for Moscow, which included a five-pointed star, a hammer and sickle, and other elements symbolizing a new era in the country's history.

The Return of the Rider

In 1993, Mayor Yuri Luzhkov restored Moscow's historical coat of arms, dating from 1781. Of the later elements, only the cross crowning the spear remained.

The coat of arms of Moscow acquired its modern appearance in accordance with the law adopted by the Moscow State Duma in 1995.

The meaning of the coat of arms

Today the coat of arms contains the following elements:

The entire field of the French-style shield is painted dark red, symbolizing the blood of warriors who died fighting their enemies. Saint George the Victorious is turned to the viewer's right, in keeping with Russian tradition. The armor of the warrior and horse is made of silver, symbolizing the forces of light. The horseman's cloak is sky-blue. The horseman's spear is gold. The serpent pierced by the spear is painted black, symbolizing evil. The depiction of Saint George the Victorious on the coat of arms does not conform to Christian canons, which require saints to be depicted with a halo.

Two coats of arms – two horsemen

An interesting fact: the modern coat of arms of the Russian Federation also depicts a horseman fighting a dragon, but it is not associated with St. George the Victorious and is not identified with the coat of arms of Moscow.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On November 22, 2025, Russia will celebrate Dictionary and Encyclopedia Day for the 15th time.

The festival was established in 2010 at the initiative of the Society of Lovers of Russian Literature and the V.I. Dahl Museum. Its goal is to increase interest in reference literature and develop a general culture of using language resources.

The date was chosen for a reason: it was the birthday of the great Russian lexicographer Vladimir Ivanovich Dal (1801-1872), who will forever be remembered as the author of the "Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language." This work became a true cultural phenomenon, as it not only contains the vocabulary of the Russian language but also reflects its cultural and historical characteristics. Dal's dictionary became the basis for many subsequent lexicographic works and remains an indispensable source for studying Russian.

In today's world, where information is accessible in any format, dictionaries and encyclopedias remain relevant. In the digital age, when knowledge can be found online, it's important to consider the quality of sources. Scientific articles, research, and even everyday communication require precision and understanding of word meanings. Dictionaries, both printed and digital, serve as reliable aids in this process.

Congratulations to everyone who has ever consulted a dictionary, looked up a word online, or even heard the name Vladimir Dahl. Love your language, study it, immerse yourself in its culture, and discover its unique features. And may the path to knowledge be simple and clear.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On November 20, the State University of Management's Higher School of Business and Technology participated in the second National Forum on Continuing Education, "People and Competencies of the New Era," held at the Higher School of Economics.

The discussions focused on a human-centered approach, government strategies for continuing education, and the role of artificial intelligence. Forum participants identified new vectors for educational development in the era of technological change, agreeing that the traditional business education model is no longer adequate.

At the plenary session, "Humanity Under Pressure from Technology: How Workers Can Survive in the Labor Market," the idea was voiced that the only sustainable strategy is continuous learning with an emphasis on soft skills that are currently inaccessible to artificial intelligence: critical thinking, leadership, and project management.

Maria Lazareva, Deputy Director of the Higher School of Business and Technology, represented the State University of Management at the forum and spoke at a specialized panel. The expert noted that business schools play a key role in building competencies for the economy of the future:

"Their new role is not to be knowledge providers, but integrators and designers of educational pathways. We act as a bridge between rapidly evolving business demands and individual specialists who want to remain in demand."

Dmitry Bryukhanov, Vice-Rector of the State University of Management, previously stated that training managers today requires a fundamentally different approach:

"At the State University of Management's Higher School of Business and Technology, we are revising our programs, making them flexible and personalized. We are introducing modules on artificial intelligence, sustainable development, and managing under uncertainty. Our goal is to graduate leaders who not only adapt to change, but also utilize new technologies as a tool for value creation and are capable of leading teams in a constantly changing world."

This position confirms a general trend: business education leaders are taking on the responsibility of developing a new generation of managers capable of working effectively in the economy of the future, where technology creates challenges but also opens up new opportunities.
