The very first week of school brought to the digest

— The history and significance of the State Council of Russia was discussed by the adviser to the rector's office of the State University of Management, head of the department of public and municipal administration of the State University of Management Sergei Chuev. "And if the State Council in the 19th century was still a national structure, which to some extent replaced parliament, then the modern State Council is, first of all, a body that allows the voice of the regions to be heard, to develop national decisions, but from the position of those who are on the ground, in the subjects," the adviser says.

— Marina Grigorieva, Director of the Pre-University of the State University of Management, discusses changes in the Moscow educational infrastructure. In her opinion, digital platforms allow teachers to quickly find teaching materials, teaching aids and assignments of various levels of complexity, conduct virtual excursions, demonstrate multimedia presentations and video materials, which makes lessons more lively and exciting.

— The results of the study of yard games were shared by the employees of the State University of Management Olga Vasilyeva and Ksenia Ovsyannikova. The study made a gradation between generations and preferred games. For example, the generation born in 1924-1944 preferred team sports games, and the baby boom generation of 1944-1967 preferred role-playing family games of mothers and daughters and school, as well as checkers and shakhvaty.

— Associate Professor of the Department of Public and Municipal Administration, Head of the Project and Educational Laboratory of Urban Development of the State University of Management Irina Milkina discusses uniform standards for the integrated development of territories. The expert believes that uniform standards are necessary to guarantee the same level of comfort and safety, but at the same time notes that they should take into account the characteristics of specific territories, adapting to local conditions and the needs of the population. — Irina Milkina discussed the urban trend of rooftop gardens. "Rooftop gardens are becoming an important part of modern urbanism, helping to improve the urban ecology, quality of the living environment and increase the level of comfort of living in the city," the expert says. — Irina Milkina helped to calculate the number of cities in Russia. According to Rosstat, as of January 1, 2024, there are 1,119 cities in Russia. This figure may change slightly over time. Of these, 16 are cities with a population of over a million and 803 are small towns.

— The initiative to abolish homework in schools was discussed by Petr Tazov, senior lecturer at the Marketing Department of the State University of Management: “In my opinion, the key problem of modern education is the search for student subjectivity. Neither parents nor artificial intelligence will replace independent thinking. But they will cause doubts in one’s thoughts. The more often a student delegates tasks to others, the greater his unwillingness to think and doubts about the correctness of his own conclusions.” — Petr Tazov analyzed stereotypes in higher education. For example, about the fact that fee-paying students are not expelled. The situation may change next year, when the Ministry of Education and Science will set quotas for the number of fee-paying places in universities.

— Senior lecturer of the Department of State and Municipal Administration of the State University of Management Alexander Shakhov pointed out the clarifications in the model charter of the urban and municipal districts of the Perm Territory. The expert draws attention to the fact that in the Perm Territory it is proposed to fix a number of powers that can be withdrawn at any time by the subject of the Russian Federation. At the same time, no clarifications are made about the actual scope of competence of municipalities. — The lack of places in dormitories of Russian universities was discussed by Alexander Shakhov. Theoretically, a student can challenge in court the refusal of an educational institution to provide housing, but if the fund is exhausted, then the demands cannot be satisfied.

– The recognition by the US court illegal monopolization of the market by Google was discussed by the associate professor of the Department of Economic Policy and Economic Measurements of the Institute of Economics and Finance GUU Maxim Chirkov. He believes that the separation of the company will lead to healthy competition and reducing services for services. This stimulates innovation, since technological giants will no longer be able to suppress growing businesses. – Maxim Chirkov pointed out the failure of the policy of secondary sanctions: “The sections of the Americans that they will introduce or threaten to introduce secondary sanctions and the third countries will stop cooperation with Russia, it did not materialize, this is obvious. Accordingly, the meaning of these sanctions is lost. ” – Maxim Chirkov discussed the measures to confront the fraud of fraud in the banking sector. “It is probably hardly possible to completely defeat such a phenomenon as fraud, as it is impossible to defeat crime so far. But we see that Russia today adapts to new challenges, because so far there is a kind of race in which the same criminals use new technologies, including informational ones, ”the economist argues. – The chances of Hungary to win the court at the European Union were appreciated by Maxim Chirkov. The expert believes that there are chances, but they are small. And in general there is no confidence in the reliability of the European legal system. – The possibility of the autumn economic crisis in Russia was discussed by Maxim Chirkov. “In general, our economy, no matter what, is developing, is growing. Of course, growth rates in 2025 have somewhat decreased compared to the record last year, but we see exactly stable growth. And in 2026, our economy has a chance to show the growth rates similar to the fact that they were 2024, ”Maxim Chirkov is sure. 

— The growth in the number of public-private partnership (PPP) projects related to infrastructure construction was discussed by Olga Astafyeva, Head of the Department of Economics and Management in Construction at the Institute of Industry Management at the State University of Management. The expert believes that attracting private investors to PPP projects is not only becoming an additional source of financing for significant infrastructure projects, but also stimulating economic growth.

— The list of systemically important banks in Russia was discussed by Nikolay Kuznetsov, Associate Professor of the Finance and Credit Department at the State University of Management. The main advantage of systemically important banks is that the state will support them during a crisis and will not allow them to collapse. There is also a downside — the terms of service in such banks may differ significantly from those of small banks.

— The reasons for the sharp increase in the number of dollar millionaires in Africa were discussed by the head of the Department of World Economy and International Economic Relations at the State University of Management, Evgeny Smirnov. There are currently 123 thousand millionaires in Africa, and over the next decade their number will grow by 65%. According to the economist, the gap between the rich and the poor will continue to grow at least as long as African countries are characterized by consistently high rates of economic growth.

— Associate Professor of the Department of Economic Policy and Economic Measurements of the State University of Management Artem Savostitsky spoke about the significance of the Eastern Economic Forum in an interview: “Over 10 years, the platform has become a very significant driver and the second most important platform in Russia after the St. Petersburg Economic Forum. More than 70,000 participants from 130 countries have passed through it, almost half of the world.”
