The Great Patriotic War, which is of colossal importance for all residents of our country, was part of a global armed conflict – World War II. After the capitulation of Nazi Germany on May 8-9, the war continued, including for many Soviet soldiers, in Europe. And on August 8, 1945, in accordance with allied obligations, the Soviet Union declared war on the Japanese Empire.

The fighting began just after midnight on August 9 and included three military operations: the Manchurian Strategic Operation, the South Sakhalin Offensive Operation, and the Kuril Landing Operation. The overall command was exercised by Marshal of the Soviet Union Alexander Vasilevsky, who managed to defeat the million-strong Japanese Kwantung Army in just 24 days. As a result of the war in the Far East, Manchuria (Northeastern China), North Korea, South Sakhalin, and the Kuril Islands were liberated. For their exploits and military distinctions during the war with Japan, more than 300,000 Soviet citizens were awarded orders and medals, including 100 people with the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

Future employees of our university also had the chance to take part in the war with Japan:

— Anatoly Bastrykin – Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs (1964-1967). During the war with Japan, he was a senior sergeant in the operations department of the 300th rifle division, and was wounded in Manchuria. He was awarded the medals "For Courage" and "For Victory over Japan";

— Aleksandr Elkin is an associate professor at the Department of Structures and Constructions. During the war with Japan, he served as the head of the military construction department of the 3rd engineer-sapper assault brigade of the 39th Army. He was awarded two Orders of the Red Star, the Orders of the Patriotic War of the 1st and 2nd degrees, the Order of the Red Banner, and the medals "For the Victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945", "For the Victory over Japan", "For the Capture of Koenigsberg", and "For the Defense of Moscow";

— Gennady Kokin is an associate professor of the Department of Public Relations and Advertising. During the war with Japan, he served in one of the aviation regiments of the Far Eastern Military District. He was awarded an order and many medals;

— Andrey Shary – head of the military department (1967-1977). During the war with Japan, he was the commander of the BM-13 Katyusha multiple launch rocket system division with the rank of Guards Major. Twice Knight of the Patriotic War, 2nd degree.

It turned out to be so unexpectedly big

The entry of the Soviet Union into the war accelerated the end of World War II. On September 2, 1945, Japan signed the Act of Surrender, and on September 3, according to the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, the Victory over Japan was declared.

For the first two years after the victory, September 3 was even a non-working day in the USSR, but then it gradually began to fade into the background, giving way to the main holiday marking the end of the war, May 9. In 2020, September 3 was added to the list of days of military glory in Russia as the Day of the End of World War II. And since 2023, the wording of the official name of the holiday has also included a mention of the victory over militaristic Japan, emphasizing the fact of victory over the political regime of Japan in those years and the absence of hostility towards the Japanese nation as a whole.

The Second World War lasted six years, 61 countries took part in it, 40 of which had military operations on their territory, it affected 80% of the world's population and took the lives of about 60-65 million people. The USSR and China suffered the greatest losses – 27 million and 15-20 million people, respectively. In memory of this tragedy and great feat, as a tribute to the victors, September 3 is celebrated in Russia as the Day of Military Glory.

Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Today we remember the tragic events that took place from September 1 to 3, 2004 in the city of Beslan, where during the celebration of Knowledge Day at local school No. 1, terrorists took 1,128 children and adults hostage.

The criminals were especially cruel to their victims, most of whom were children. They did not give them food or water, refused medical care and forbade the transfer of medications, and shot several people at once to intimidate others and demonstrate their inhuman determination to law enforcement. The reprisals did not end there. People were beaten, forced to keep their hands raised, and threatened with gunshots. The rooms were hot and stuffy, and children lost consciousness. At the same time, the terrorists refused ransom and did not make any demands, so no one knew what to expect from them.

On the third day, the nightmare ended as a result of a sudden assault on the school building by the special forces units "Alpha" and "Vympel" of the Russian FSB. Almost all the militants were destroyed on the spot, only one of them survived, later convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. Subsequently, all the organizers of this crime were also eliminated.

The Beslan terrorist attack claimed the lives of 333 people: 186 children, 111 of their relatives and holiday guests, 17 school employees, 10 special forces soldiers, 6 civilian rescuers, 2 Emergencies Ministry employees and 1 police officer.

The memorial date of the Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism was established in 2005 and is dedicated not only to the Beslan tragedy, but also to the memory of the victims of all terrorist acts, as well as law enforcement officers who died in operations to rescue hostages or prevent terrorist attacks.

Welcome to the univerSUM: GUU celebrated the Day of Knowledge and New Students

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On September 1, 2025, a ceremonial assembly dedicated to Knowledge Day and the beginning of the academic year was held at the State University of Management.

This year, September 1st was celebrated under the slogan “Creators of Tomorrow,” because future leaders, government officials, top managers, innovators in business and science study at the State University of Management, who are destined to change life in Russia for the better.

On the eve of the event, on the last day of summer, a meeting of first-year students was held at the State University of Management, so they had already managed to get used to their new place of study and did not get lost, but were nevertheless accompanied by attentive curators.

According to tradition, the official part of the celebration began with the Russian anthem, a parade with the flags of all the institutes of the State University of Management and a welcoming speech by the rector Vladimir Stroyev, who noted that the first-year students were lucky to get into the university, which has graduated many famous statesmen and major entrepreneurs over its more than 100-year history.

"If you have the attitude to become successful, then you will receive a quality education here, because our university has the best teaching staff in Russia in the areas of management, economics, marketing. I am sure that you will remember these years for the rest of your life. Maybe someone will find their true love and families will be formed. We welcome this. Many student families of past decades still delight us with their visits. There is nothing more reliable than meeting during student time. I wish you not only to receive all the knowledge that is available to you at the State University of Management, but also to actively participate in the life of the university. As future leaders, this will be very useful for you. Later, you will understand that student years are the happiest time in life. In the meantime, I am glad to welcome you to the family of the State University of Management!" Vladimir Stroev congratulated the students.

The students were also addressed by honorary guests and graduates of the State University of Management.

The head of the Federal Treasury of the Russian Federation, Roman Artyukhin, distinguished himself with a beautiful speech about the name of the State University of Management, in which every word is beautiful.

"Management is the right to lead. You need to manage wisely. And you need to manage not others, but first of all yourself. Manage your knowledge and become better every day than yesterday. By managing yourself, you become able to manage others. The university is a universe. During your studies, the entire universe opens up to you. There are no unnecessary subjects here. Industry disciplines are important, no doubt. Philosophy gives a large-scale view of the world around us, it cannot be neglected. And of course, accounting. Without accounting, there will be no professional economist or financier. Not the most difficult discipline, but fundamental. State. What are you? State. This should apply to each of us. We must be patriotic, loving our native country and the people around us, doing everything for the prosperity of Russia. I wish you all success, inspiration, and joy in your studies," Roman Artyukhin concluded his speech.

Director of the Department of Personnel Policy of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia Alexey Svistunov heartily congratulated first-year students on their first day of study within the walls of the university.

"I remember my first days as a student. I always went to school with joy, everything was interesting. The contrast with school was noticeable, where not everything was interesting. And at the university, we study with great pleasure, because we go where our soul calls. But the university is not only about studying. You will also have sports competitions, volunteer activities, KVN, which GUU is famous for. And of course, romance – student families. This is a rich extracurricular life, which will also absorb you. Indeed, a whole universe. I congratulate you on the beginning of this wonderful stage of life," Alexey Svistunov shared his memories.

The Executive Secretary of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, Sergei Pospelov, also recalled the past, but not so distant.

"A couple of months ago, we presented diplomas to graduates at this very place. And their faces were sadder, and I congratulate you on that. I wish you to maintain this enthusiasm throughout your entire studies. As a teacher, I would like to advise you to be honest with yourself, from the first year until the very last day of study. Moreover, in the world of digital technologies, everything you have written, done or said stays with you forever. I congratulate you on becoming members of the large GUU family and wish you success!" said the Executive Secretary of the CSTO PA.

The head of the regional interaction department of the “Movement of the First” Olga Negrova admitted that she always returns to the walls of the State University of Management with great joy.

"Allow me to congratulate you on receiving the status of a student on behalf of the Chairman of the Board of the "Movement of the First", Hero of the Russian Federation Artur Orlov, and wish you that the path that you have chosen for yourself today will definitely be the right one. And that your student years will become special. Do not forget that you live in a time of incredible opportunities. Russia is a country of opportunities, and you are part of these opportunities. Happy holiday!" Olga Negrova congratulated the students.

The guests' speeches ended there, but the congratulations did not. The Chairperson of the Federation Council Committee on Science, Education and Culture Liliya Gumerova sent an official letter to the workforce and students of the State University of Management, in which she also noted the romance of student life and thanked the university for its great work in supporting young families. The full text of the letter can be found in the photo gallery.

At the end of the ceremonial assembly, the newly minted students took the freshman oath and received a symbolic pass to the territory of the State University of Management from Vladimir Stroyev. The rector also presented a gift from the university's partner, Sberbank, to the best freshman, Alisa Tsibulkina, who scored 300 points on the Unified State Exam and entered the Institute of Personnel Management, Social and Business Communications.

This was the end of the celebration. The first-year students still had a tour of the State University of Management and meetings with the directors of the institutes, and the rest of the students went to the first lectures of the new academic year.

Once again, we congratulate everyone on Knowledge Day! May the entire school year be as warm and soulful as September 1st.

Join the active creative life of our university. Immerse yourself in scientific work and help the country achieve technological leadership.

Cover all these events with our student media in the SUM Times Telegram channel and on other platforms. Welcome to the vibrant life and friendly family of the State University of Management.

I wish all my colleagues and our students great success in the coming academic year. The wish is simple, but for it to come true, it is necessary to make significant efforts – to be diligent, purposeful, inquisitive, persistent, responsible, disciplined and creative. Be inspired by your own dreams and guide yourself towards them with a strong hand and a firm mind. And the State University of Management will be happy to help you with this. Let's start creating tomorrow together today. Happy holiday!

The central topic of discussion was preparation for key events in the life of the network university. Participants unanimously supported the initiative to hold the III ESU Forum in the Kyrgyz Republic at Osh State University. This decision continues the tradition of rotating venues, strengthening the international status of the project. In this regard, it was decided to hold the next meeting of the ESU Coordination Council in October this year, also in Osh, which will effectively combine two important events.

The working group considered the issue of new universities joining the consortium, which demonstrates the growing authority of ESU. It was decided to consider applications from candidates at the upcoming ESU Coordination Council in October 2025.

The working group members discussed the issue of holding the ESU Olympiad in 2025. The report was given by Konstantin Kemaev, Head of the International Cooperation Department of the Nizhny Novgorod State University named after N.I. Lobachevsky, the operator of the ESU Olympiad.

Head of the ESU Secretariat Dmitry Bryukhanov outlined the dates for the formation of a joint work program for the 2025-2026 academic year for participating universities to submit proposals for events.

The meeting was held in a constructive manner and allowed us to outline clear contours for further joint work, strengthening the partnership between universities of the Eurasian Economic Union.
