At the State University of Management, schoolchildren were shown how theory becomes technology and how ideas become startups. The master class for 10th- and 11th-grade students was held under the auspices of the RosGeoTech Advanced Engineering School (AES), a project implemented by the M.D. Millionshchikov Grozny State Petroleum Technological University (GSOTU) in collaboration with the State University of Management.

Revived technical thought

Before the master class, Andrey Luzhetsky, Director of the Advanced Engineering School, addressed the participants with a welcoming speech. Maxim Pletnev, Head of the Scientific Research Coordination Department at the State University of Management, spoke about the extensive work of the RosGeoTech Advanced Engineering School (1)—a project that covers cutting-edge areas of the Russian economy, including alternative energy, power engineering, the oil and gas industry, and autonomous unmanned and robotic systems.

The future starts now

The central part of the program was a presentation by Nikita Akinshin, a specialist at the Engineering Project Management Center at the State University of Management. "We're not just showing slides," the scientist said. "We're giving a glimpse into real projects that are changing the landscape of today."

Nikita Akinshin spoke about the restoration and extensive modernization of the LUAZ-967M, a Soviet SUV that engineers are transforming into a model of future technology. The vehicle is not only being restored, but also electrified, and equipped with driverless and autonomous control systems.

AI, drones, and anti-drones

A separate topic of the master class was developments in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The students were shown a model of a highly maneuverable, high-speed UAV and a portable anti-drone system designed to protect critical facilities.

Continuing the theme of advanced technologies, Nikita Akinshin discussed the role of artificial intelligence in engineering. He explained the principles of a hybrid decision support system (DSS), which combines machine learning (ML) and large-scale language models (LLM).

"The task of modern engineers is not only to design hardware," emphasized Nikita Akinshin, "but also to create intelligent systems that control this hardware and analyze data. It is at the intersection of these disciplines that the most breakthrough solutions are born."

The masterclass showed the students that engineering isn't some distant place, but here and now. Real-world examples and live interaction with experts helped the participants understand how technologies are born, inspiring creativity and the development of their own ideas.

Moscow Olympics: The Soviet Union became the heart of sport and the world at the height of the Cold War

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On October 23, 1974, in the Vienna meeting hall of the International Olympic Committee, the capital of the USSR was chosen to host the XXII 1980 Summer Olympic Games. This decision was more than just a sporting triumph—it transformed the main Soviet city into a symbol of openness and faith in world peace.

By that time, the Soviet Union was already a recognized sporting power: since 1952, Soviet athletes had consistently ranked among the top three in the medal standings. But hosting the Olympics was something else entirely; it was a challenge to infrastructure, diplomacy, urban planning, and even mentality. And Moscow accepted it.

Triumph of Friendship

Competition was fierce: in addition to Moscow, Los Angeles, Athens, and Paris vied for the right to host the Games. The Soviet delegation, led by Sergei Pavlov, Chairman of the State Sports Committee, convincingly demonstrated the country's readiness not just to organize competitions, but to create a new era in Olympic history. Emphasis was placed on scale, safety, technical equipment, and, especially important during the Cold War era, the idea of a peace Olympics.

Interestingly, the decision was made in a single round of final voting between the opposing finalists, Los Angeles and Moscow: the votes were split 39 to 20. This wasn't just a winning score—it was a signal: people wanted to see the USSR not only as a superpower, but also as a hospitable host.

Back to the Future

Today, looking back on the 1980 Olympics through the prism of time, it's unlikely anyone will remember how revolutionary they were for their era. And yet, it was then that for the first time:

To escort the Olympic flame from Greece, a special RAF-2907 minibus was built with larger radiators and additional electric fans to cool the engine, preventing overheating while traveling at runner's speed. A new, concert-style format for the spectacular opening and closing ceremonies was introduced, setting the standard for future Games. Moscow received modern sports, residential, and infrastructure facilities, many of which are still operational—from the Olympic Sports Complex and thousands of square meters of housing in the Olympic Village to the Cosmos Hotel and Terminal F at Sheremetyevo Airport. For the first time in history, the official Olympic mascot, the charming little bear Misha, learned to fly in hot air balloons and acquired his own biography and universe—he has appeared in cartoons, and even an entire anime series was created in Japan.

The turning point

Of course, the 1980 Games themselves were somewhat marred by boycotts and political provocations. It was a time when some countries had pointedly ignored the previous and subsequent Olympics. But even these troubles couldn't overshadow the USSR's success: on October 23, 1974, the world came to believe in Moscow as a city capable of uniting countries and continents through sport. And for the Soviet Union, this was the moment when the state emerged for the first time not as an "Iron Curtain" empire, but as an open, modern, and ambitious organizer of a global event.

On October 22, 2025, the State University of Management hosted a business game, "IT – the Hands and Eyes of the Engineer of the Future," for students in grades 10-11 as part of the RosGeoTech Advanced Engineering School (AES) project at the M.D. Millionshchikov Grozny State Petroleum Technological University (GSOTU).

Before the master class, Maxim Pletnev, Head of the Scientific Research Coordination Department at the State University of Management, introduced the guests to the extensive work of the RosGeoTech Scientific School, which covers such areas as alternative energy, power engineering, oil and gas, as well as autonomous unmanned and robotic innovative systems.

Andrey Luzhetsky, head of the RosGeoTech School of Industrial and Applied Sciences, addressed the participants with a welcoming speech.

The central part of the event was a presentation by Dmitry Taldykin, a junior research fellow at the Reverse Engineering Laboratory. He vividly demonstrated how neural networks are transforming from a tool for automating routine tasks into intelligent partners capable of unlocking human potential.

"We're stopping asking AI, 'What can you do for me?' and starting asking, 'How can you help me think better, solve more complex problems, and learn faster?'" Dmitry Taldykin began his presentation.

He presented a project to the students to create a personalized learning system based on large-scale language models. The students learned how AI adapts educational content in real time to each student's cognitive style and learning speed, transforming passive information acquisition into an active dialogue.

The topic of "cognitive enhancement" was of particular interest to the audience. Dmitry Taldykin discussed the development of brain-computer interfaces that enable the use of AI to expand working memory and accelerate big data analysis. The students were able to see how neural network algorithms can be used to identify hidden patterns in scientific research and generate new hypotheses.

The scientist also discussed the role of AI in developing critical thinking. He explained the concept of "intellectual counterbalance"—when AI doesn't provide ready-made answers, but rather challenges human arguments, helping to test their strength and avoid cognitive biases.

The lecture clearly demonstrated that the future lies in the symbiosis of human and artificial intelligence. The knowledge gained motivates young researchers not to fear technology but to actively engage in its development, so that they can collaborate with machines to solve problems currently beyond the capabilities of either type of intelligence alone. The event aimed to foster a new generation of leaders prepared to collaborate with advanced technologies.
