December 5, 1941, marked a turning point not only in the Great Patriotic War but in world history as a whole. On that day, Soviet troops launched a counteroffensive along a front stretching over a thousand kilometers—from Tver (then Kalinin) to Yelets. This decision, made by the Supreme High Command Headquarters (SHGK), marked the beginning of the defeat of Nazi forces near Moscow and halted the seemingly unstoppable blitzkrieg.

Until the last drop of blood

By that time, the enemy was 20–30 kilometers from the capital. Moscow was already circled in red on Hitler's maps. Operation Typhoon, launched in late September, was supposed to capture the city before the frost set in. However, the enemy's plans were destined to fail.

Delays near Smolensk, fierce battles near Kiev, and the Red Army's stubborn resistance—all this cost the Wehrmacht precious time. By December, the German force was exhausted, depleted, and unprepared for winter. Its soldiers were in summer uniforms, their equipment was not adapted to the cold, and their morale was shattered. "The Russians fight to the last man. They very rarely surrender," wrote Franz Halder, Chief of the Wehrmacht General Staff and later one of the instigators of the assassination attempt on the Führer, in his diary with alarm.

Counterattack

Meanwhile, a powerful reserve was being formed in our rear. Siberian and Far Eastern divisions, dressed in white camouflage uniforms, approached the front lines. By early December, the Western, Kalinin, and Southwestern Fronts numbered over a million men, more than 7,600 guns and mortars, nearly 800 tanks, and about a thousand combat aircraft.

On the morning of December 5, troops of the Kalinin Front attacked from the north. The following day, forces from the Western and Southwestern Fronts attacked from the flanks and rear of the Nazis. Soviet units, lacking deep defensive lines, acted decisively and quickly. Fierce battles unfolded on the approaches to Klin, Istra, Tula, and Yelets.

A month later, German forces were pushed back 250 kilometers west. Enemy losses during the first ten days of the counteroffensive exceeded 150,000 killed and wounded, and approximately 800 tanks were destroyed. Army Group Center commander Fedor von Bock complained that his troops were "exhausted."

Eternal memory

This date became a symbol not only of military valor but also of the rebirth of faith in victory. Moscow stood firm, the Soviet Union did not break—for the first time since the invasion of our land, the enemy retreated.

In 1995, December 5th was officially included in the law "On Days of Military Glory of Russia." It reminds us that sometimes the most important step is the first counterattack.

The First Management University community honors with deep respect the memory of those who stopped the enemy on the outskirts of Moscow in December 1941—among them were our faculty and students. Their heroic deed is not only a chapter in history but also a lesson for the future: even in the most difficult circumstances, determination, preparation, and unity among the people can change the course of events.

On December 4, we celebrate Computer Science Day—a professional holiday dedicated to the date that laid the foundation for Russian computer science: in 1948, the first patent for a digital electronic computer was registered in the USSR.

From a radio tube to a smartphone

The idea for the holiday arose in 1998, when Computer Weekly magazine proposed celebrating December 4th as Russian Informatics Day in honor of an event that occurred half a century earlier. Few knew then that it was on this day in 1948 that Soviet scientists Academician Isaak Bruk and engineer Bashir Rameyev received Inventor's Certificate No. 10475 for a digital electronic computer. Their patent, which marked the beginning of the era of Russian computer science, can, without exaggeration, be called a feat of engineering. After all, in just three months of work, Isaak Semenovich and Bashir Iskanderovich created the "Automatic Digital Electronic Computer" project, despite a near-total lack of access to foreign technology, a shortage of vacuum tubes, and an unstable power supply. The device's "thinking" was based on binary logic and hardware-based software control, and vacuum tubes were used in its assembly. Although the first working model was launched only three years later, it was in 1948 that the architectural foundation for future computers was laid.

Of particular significance was the fact that the Soviet machine was designed to store programs in memory—an ergonomic solution that underlies all modern gadgets and devices, from smartphones to supercomputers.

From information to informatics

Unlike the American ENIAC, where programming was determined by cable connections, the Bruk-Rameyev machine was more flexible. And during its first run, it generated so much heat that scientists had to remove part of the roof to prevent a fire. But it was this "vacuum-tube behemoth," occupying 15 square meters, that became the prototype of an entire era. This idea gave rise to the original Soviet computers: the legendary Moscow M-1 and Kiev MESM, as well as the Strela, one of the first mass-produced computers for scientific and defense calculations. They were used in satellite launches, nuclear projects, weather forecasting, and economic planning. And although Western computing technology was already rapidly developing worldwide, Soviet machines were equal to them, and in some tasks, they were superior thanks to optimized algorithms and architecture.

Incidentally, the term "computer science" only appeared in the USSR in 1962, on the initiative of Academician Alexander Kharkevich, director of the Institute for Information Transmission Problems (IITP RAS). But it was the 1948 patent that cemented the country's priority in the development of digital systems and gave impetus to the creation of specialized laboratories, design bureaus, and educational programs.

Today, Computer Science Day is more than just a professional holiday. It commemorates the fact that technology is born from ideas, and ideas from faith in the future. On this day, universities, schools, and technology parks host lectures, exhibitions, and hackathons to remind the new generation that behind every byte is history, behind every algorithm, talent and hard work.

From theory to practice

The State University of Management, which develops digital leaders for the new Russia, pays special attention to this legacy. The university houses departments and programs directly related to information technology and digital transformation, training specialists capable of designing and implementing IT solutions in the public and corporate sectors. Students master big data analysis, digital architecture, IT project management, and cybersecurity, as well as mathematical modeling, software development principles, the application of artificial intelligence in management, business management in the digital economy, working with platforms, and the specifics of digital policymaking.

Regarding applied research in the field of IT and AI, a pilot implementation of the major scientific project "Ensuring the country's food security through the creation of hardware and software systems and intelligent platform digital solutions for the development of full-lifecycle agro-industrial technologies" will begin in 2026. Our researchers refer to this project as the "digital village."

The agricultural platform, which the First Management Institute is developing jointly with the Omsk Agricultural Research Center and Udmurt State University, is conceived as a "super-system" that simplifies the work of small and medium-sized agricultural enterprises. It will set tasks for FMS systems, reduce decision-making costs, and increase the sustainability of participants through collaborative mechanisms. "It shouldn't be the case that a farmer repeatedly enters data into different systems, essentially 'manually, from a notebook,'" emphasizes Dmitry Rybakov, project coordinator and researcher at the Center for Engineering Project Management at Udmurt State University, noting that data transfer to Federal State Information Systems (FSIS) (Zerno, Saturn, Unified Financial Information System of the ZSN, etc.) will be automated as much as possible.

The system consists of three levels: infrastructure (drones, navigation, data collection), management (analytics, business processes, smart contracts), and cooperation—inter-industry and even international. The platform's economy will be built on a subscription model, with costs distributed among agricultural enterprises, processors, logistics, insurers, banks, and, possibly, the government.

Thus, our university community is directly involved in shaping the image of the future Russian agro-industrial complex, and, in the future, the agro-industrial complex of friendly countries of the EAEU and BRICS.

December 3 is a memorial date established in 2014 by decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin to mark the anniversary of the reburial of the ashes of an unknown defender of Moscow who died in 1941 on the outskirts of the capital. It was on December 3, 1966, the 25th anniversary of the defeat of German troops outside Moscow, that the Eternal Flame was lit at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier near the Kremlin Wall.

This day is not just a tribute, but a recognition: in the history of the Great Patriotic War, millions of lives remain nameless. According to the General Staff, the Red Army suffered irreparable losses of 8.6 million people, and more than two million of them are still considered missing in action. For thousands of families, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is the only place to honor the memory of their fathers and grandfathers, whose names have not been preserved in the archives, but whose heroism remains forever etched in history.

The idea for this date belongs to the activists of the Search Movement of Russia, who undertake expeditions every spring and fall to find the remains of the fallen, establish their names, and restore lost memories to their families. Their work is not only based on archaeology and forensics, but also on humanism: every soldier found is not ashes, but a person with a name, dreams, and loved ones.

The traditions of Unknown Soldier Day are simple and restrained: laying flowers at the Eternal Flame, observing a moment of silence, and holding vigils of remembrance. Red carnations, a symbol of courage and spilled blood, are most often carried to the monuments. Schools hold "Lessons of Courage," libraries and museums host thematic exhibitions, and universities host commemorative gatherings. All of these are united by a single goal: to pass on historical memory to new generations.

In 2025, the central event was the opening of the exhibition "Faces of Unidentified Heroes" at the Victory Museum on Poklonnaya Hill. On display for the first time were 20 graphic portraits of soldiers, whose likenesses were reconstructed by scientists from the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology of the Russian Academy of Sciences based on remains found in mass graves. On the opening day, a ceremony was held to present the Order of the Red Star to the relatives of Junior Sergeant Nikolai Klushin, a soldier from the 191st Rifle Division who died 80 years ago—another step in restoring their names.

In addition, the Victory Museum is hosting a panel session on the role of science and technology in search work, and the G.O.R.A. branch of the museum is hosting an exhibition on the history of monuments to the Unknown Soldier throughout Russia.

Unknown Soldier Day reminds us: a heroic deed doesn't require a name to be significant. But everyone who gave their life for their country deserves to be remembered with gratitude.

December 3rd is Lawyer's Day in Russia—a professional holiday for everyone working in the legal field: judges, lawyers, prosecutors, notaries, teachers, researchers, law enforcement officers, and corporate lawyers.

The holiday is relatively new: it was established in 2008 by decree of President Vladimir Putin at the initiative of the Russian Lawyers' Association, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary today. However, the historical roots of the celebration date back to the 19th century: on December 3, 1864, Emperor Alexander II approved the Judicial Statutes—the foundation of the judicial reform that introduced openness, adversarial proceedings, and judicial independence. This date became a turning point for Russian law and, for a time, an unofficial professional holiday.

Builders of a new reality

The systematic development of legal science in Russia began during the reign of Peter the Great. The Tsar ordered the translation of European legal works into Russian and sent Russian students to study abroad. In 1755, with the founding of Moscow University, a law faculty was opened—the country's first platform for training Russian legal scholars. Initially, lectures were given in Latin and based on foreign textbooks, but over time, Russian jurisprudence acquired both its own language and its own authors. Among them was Semyon Denisitsky, the first professor to teach courses in Russian.

The judicial reform of 1864 and the publication of the "Code of Laws of the Russian Empire" were particularly significant for the development of law. These events not only systematized legislation but also shaped generations of lawyers for whom law became more than just a tool of governance, but a profession requiring knowledge, ethics, and responsibility.

After 1917, the legal system underwent profound changes. Lawyers in the Soviet Union were viewed as "builders of a new legal reality," on par with engineers and the military. Today, the profession is once again undergoing a transformation: alongside traditional areas, new ones are emerging—IT law, artificial intelligence regulation, and personal data protection. This requires specialists to continually learn and be flexible in their thinking.

Training of legal experts

At the State University of Management, specialists in public and municipal administration, jurisprudence, and legal support for business are trained at the Institute of Public Administration and Law (IPAL GUU), which was created as a result of the reorganization of one of the university's oldest divisions—the Faculty of Management in Construction and Urban Economy.

Today, ISUiP enrolls over a thousand students in full-time and part-time programs. More than two hundred students annually complete second-degree programs, professional retraining, and advanced training. Moreover, more than three thousand specialists from various fields complete continuing education courses annually.

The institute's faculty comprises more than one hundred scientists and practitioners, including academicians and corresponding members of industry academies, doctors of science and professors, candidates of science, and associate professors.

ISULP graduates are in demand at all levels of state and municipal government: they work in the Russian Presidential Administration, the Federation Council and State Duma offices, federal ministries and agencies, the Accounts Chamber, the Moscow government, the capital's prefectures and district administrations, as well as in law enforcement agencies, city infrastructure, research and educational institutions, and commercial organizations. It is worth noting that the institute is consistently ranked among the top Russian universities for graduate salaries in the legal field, confirming the high quality of its training and the trust of employers.

For serving Themis

Traditionally, on December 3, the Association of Lawyers of Russia presents its highest industry award, the "Lawyer of the Year" prize. Among the laureates are the authors of fundamental laws, scholars, human rights activists, and educators. The prize is awarded in six categories, reflecting the full spectrum of legal activity—from science to education and social protection. Today, in his welcoming address to the congress of the Association of Lawyers of Russia, President Vladimir Putin emphasized: "You have chosen a noble mission—to protect the rights and interests of people and ensure the rule of law in the state. Such a calling requires not only thorough knowledge but also high personal and moral qualities. I would like to especially commend your work in providing free, qualified legal assistance to citizens, including participants in special military operations and their families. Your dedicated service to duty and society is worthy of deep respect and gratitude."

Today, Lawyer's Day is not only an occasion to congratulate colleagues but also an opportunity to remind them of the profession's social mission: protecting citizens' rights, strengthening law and order, and developing a legal culture in society. Universities host academic conferences, discussion platforms, and open lectures. Schoolchildren take the All-Russian Legal Dictation, an opportunity to test their knowledge and reflect on their future profession. Professional groups—from courts to law firms—celebrate the holiday with meetings, sharing experiences, and plans for the future.

The First Management University community respectfully honors all those who have chosen the path of service to the law. May your work bring not only professional satisfaction but also real benefit to those who need it most today. After all, it is lawyers who largely determine how fair, predictable, and human-centered our society will be.

From November 24 to 29, 2025, an international industry internship, organized by the Dynamics of Mobility Educational and Methodological Center, took place in Beijing. The event was attended by a Russian delegation, including representatives of the Russian State Research Center NAMI, as well as students, faculty, and researchers from more than ten leading Russian universities training personnel for the domestic automotive industry. Vladimir Filatov, Director of the Engineering Project Management Center, represented the State University of Management at the internship.

From the office to the climate chamber

The program included visits to key players in the Chinese automotive industry. Delegates learned about the operations of the engineering company IAT, visiting its headquarters and innovation labs, including VR zones and climate chambers, and discussing vehicle design processes. Participants also visited the Beifang Group's education center, where they learned about modern engineering training methods and equipment, and the BAIC plant, which specializes in SUV production.

The internship provided Russian specialists and students with the opportunity to gain first-hand experience with advanced technologies, production, and educational practices in the Chinese automotive industry, as well as establish professional contacts for future collaboration. The event made a significant contribution to the development of scientific, technical, and educational partnerships between Russia and China in the automotive sector.

From license to leadership

Over the past ten years, the Chinese automotive industry has made a leap from licensed production to world-class, in-house development. This reflects a global trend: technological leadership is gradually shifting toward China. The largest Chinese automakers long ago stopped copying Western designs. Today, they are developing their own architectures, platforms, and designs, demonstrating particularly strong leadership in the electric and hybrid vehicle segments, which account for nearly 60% of global sales.

The success of the Chinese auto industry is built on four powerful pillars: government and corporate support, the development of domestic battery production (CATL, CALB), flexible and locally integrated supply chains, and a rapid pace of model lineup innovation—new generations of cars appear every two to three years. Recently, our president, in an interview with Nomad TV, praised the Chinese auto industry: "Products have begun to appear in the People's Republic of China that are more competitive than European ones. The latest example is electric cars. Well, the Chinese make them better and cheaper than the Europeans. The European auto industry is simply crumbling," Vladimir Putin said. And we at the State University of Management are always ready to adopt and improve on the best global practices.
