An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On November 25, Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, met with the GUU Council of Elders. At the beginning of the meeting, those gathered voted to include two new members: Sergei Lenshin, Director of the Institute of Distance Education, and Alexey Stepanov, Professor of the Department of Transport Complex Management.

Following the death of Council Chairman Alexey Lyalin this spring, those gathered unanimously elected Alexey Stepanov as the new head, Nikolay Omelchenko, Head of the Department of Public Administration and Political Technologies, as his deputy, and Lyudmila Derevyagina, Professor of the Department of Management Theory, retaining her position as Secretary. Nikolay Mikhailov, a member of the Council of Elders and Advisor to the Rector's Office of the State University of Management, noted that such meetings with the current university rector have become a good tradition.

Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, briefed meeting participants on the university's preliminary results for 2025 and plans for the coming year.

"We're moving in the right direction and are now visible, among the leaders in higher education. People are talking about us, they want to collaborate with us, students are coming to us in large numbers, the competition for places and the quality of applicants' preparation are growing. Of course, like all universities, we anticipate changes, but we are already developing a policy and strategy to meet the new rules. If artificial barriers and restrictions on places don't appear, everything will be fine. We've picked up the pace and there's no stopping us," the rector emphasized, speaking about expanding cooperation with other universities, including in new territories. He also recalled the "GUU – SVOIm" campaign, in which the entire university community is participating.

Vladimir Stroyev also reported that the previous day, a GUU delegation had visited the Council of Supporting Scientific and Educational Organizations of the Rostec State Corporation for the first time. This demonstrates that our university is being considered a potential partner and candidate for inclusion in new joint programs: "Partnership with Rostec is a promising area of development. I believe that, unlike other universities, we can offer more practical and understandable programs for training specific specialists with specific, in-demand skills. This represents a significant amount of work that needs to be accomplished."

Another area that has demonstrated tremendous growth over the past three years is science, without which it is impossible to advance the educational process. Specifically, SMU scientists are participating in the implementation of the RosGeoTech Advanced Engineering School project at the Grozny State Petroleum Technological University named after Academician M.D. Millionshchikov (GGNTU), developing a high-tech agricultural management system in collaboration with the Omsk Agrarian Scientific Center (Omsk ASC) and Udmurt State University (UDSU), and have also won a grant to implement a technological initiative in the field of unmanned aerial systems (UAS). In the area of youth policy, the First Management School is also expanding and actively developing, reaching a new level of recognition. This year, the Digoria Expert Club and the KVN Scientific and Methodological Center were launched at our university. Alexander Maslyakov Jr., CEO of TTO AMiK, visited to study their work.

Infrastructure issues were also addressed. The rector announced that a new dormitory is planned to open next fall, and discussions are ongoing regarding the construction of a year-round stadium. Vladimir Vitalyevich also emphasized that one of the university's strengths, noted by all students, is the principle of a unified campus.

"We could increase the number of students. But we choose the quality of their training, not the number of students. Today, the economy needs specific specialists with a specific set of skills. The university environment must demonstrate a high level, and our university is no exception. SUM is implementing the presidential decrees, adhering to the schedule, moving in the direction the state needs, and is ready to implement new programs," concluded Vladimir Stroyev.

A shipyard for the construction of innovative electric vessels has opened in Moscow, according to Sobyanin.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Moscow Government – Moscow Government –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov, Mayor of Moscow Sergei Sobyanin Presidential Aide and Chairman of the Maritime Collegium of the Russian Federation Nikolai Patrushev opened a new shipyard. It is located in the Nagatinsky Zaton district, opposite the Southern River Terminal.

The ceremony marked the launch of the state-of-the-art "Moscow 1.0" electric vessels, and the laying of their keels. These 56-passenger vessels are designed for regular river transport.

"Many different factories are opening in Moscow, but no shipyards have opened for at least fifty years. What has happened in recent years? We've been actively developing public transportation, primarily electric transport. This includes the metro, the Moscow Central Diameters, the Moscow Central Circle, and electric buses, which are actively replacing regular buses. But the Moscow River has remained relatively unaffected by these trends. We decided to resume regular passenger service on the Moscow River and implemented this project, launching the first electric vessels," said Sergei Sobyanin.

Then, the need arose for new electric vessels to replace aging vessels, including tourist vessels. Following the reconstruction and reopening of the capital's river terminals, the need for fleet renewal increased even further.

"We restored and rebuilt Moscow's Northern and Southern River Terminals, renowned throughout the country. We launched the so-called 'Round the World' route, where passengers could travel from the Northern River Terminal along the Golden Ring and return to the Southern River Terminal. We see a huge need for new vessels there, too, and, of course, it would be great if these were primarily electric vessels. Therefore, we decided to build a shipyard to produce the most modern electric vessels. And with the support of the Russian Government and the President of Russia, this project has been completed. Today, we are starting construction of the first vessel at the Moscow Shipyard," said Sergei Sobyanin.

According to First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov, the new shipyard is the most modern of all Russian shipyards producing electric vessels, as well as the largest and most modern in Europe.

"Sergey Semenovich, I'd like to thank you for your timely decision to design and build this shipyard in 2023. It's not just a shipyard, it's also a design bureau. It provides the opportunity to design and build vessels of various classes. And not only for Moscow City orders, but we also count on state support from the Government and the Ministry of Industry and Trade. Leasing programs—which offset construction and delivery costs, so-called utility grants for vessels—I think will gain popularity," Denis Manturov noted.

As Nikolai Patrushev, Aide to the President of Russia and Chairman of the Maritime Board of the Russian Federation, noted, the new shipyard is a model high-tech facility with comfortable working conditions for its personnel. In addition to construction and design, it will also carry out repairs of electric vessels.

Nikolai Patrushev added that the range of vessels to be produced at the Moscow Shipyard is highly relevant. "These are primarily electric vessels, which are very promising. This isn't the first company to produce electric vessels, but it is exemplary. We've carved out a very large niche in the global electric vessel market. And we absolutely mustn't be outdone in this area," he said.

The expansion of the river electric fleet will reduce the burden on other modes of transport, further improve the capital's ecology, and provide another incentive for tourism development.

"And, of course, it's important that citizens, our citizens—both Muscovites and those who come on excursions, for work, and so on—can see the city of Moscow in all its glory," said Nikolai Patrushev.

Moscow Shipyard

"Several years ago, we seriously began reviving water transport on the Moscow River, and at the same time, we decided to recreate shipbuilding traditions. This initiative was supported by President Vladimir Putin. From the idea to the start of electric vessel production at Russia's most modern shipyard, a record-breaking 22 months passed," Sergei Sobyanin wrote on his channel. MAX messenger.

Source: Sergei Sobyanin's channel in MAX messenger 

Construction of the Moscow shipyard for the production of modern electric vessels began in October 2023 and was completed in November 2025.

The facility is located on the site of a former communal area on Mys Chalk. Its 23,000 square-meter production facility allows for full-cycle production. This includes metal cutting, welding, hull assembly, outfitting, and vessel launching.

In addition, the equipment and production capacity of the Moscow shipyard allow for service, maintenance, and repair of manufactured products.

The production cluster includes a fleet maintenance site and mooring facilities with the necessary charging infrastructure. They will eventually provide maintenance and repair services for over 100 electric vessels annually. Previously, due to the lack of appropriate infrastructure, owners relocated their vessels to other regions, which required them to be taken off-route.

Production is highly automated. Over 70 percent of the equipment used is Russian-made.

The shipyard has created over 500 new jobs. Overall, the production chain for components and equipment for electric vessels employs approximately 50,000 people at facilities across Russia.

The company has its own design bureau—a center for the development and design of river electric transport. This will allow all production processes to be consolidated in one location, as well as establish a sustainable foundation for developing river shipbuilding competencies. Facilities have also been created for crew training and employee professional development. Classes will be held on a state-of-the-art simulator. Training specialists directly at the high-tech shipyard will enhance the skills of Moscow's river transport navigators.

"The Moscow shipyard has become a model of environmentally friendly production, built according to the most stringent legal requirements and seamlessly integrated into the urban environment. The grounds and embankment on the residential side have been fully landscaped and greened—a promenade area with a playground and comfortable recreation areas for everyone has been created," Sergei Sobyanin noted on his channel.

The facility is adorned with modern facades reminiscent of Russian shipbuilding traditions. The materials used were manufactured at Moscow factories using Russian technologies. Solar panels were installed on the roof as an alternative power source.

Modern treatment and filtration systems prevent wastewater from entering the Moscow River. As part of the improvement project, the riverbanks were reinforced, dredging work was carried out, convenient access and approach was provided, and ship mooring facilities were established.

The new facility's capacity allows for the production of up to 40 vessels per year. It can simultaneously assemble various types of electric vessels, such as the "Moscow 1.0," "Moscow 2.0," "Moscow 3.0," the "Moscow Golden Ring" cruise ships, and unmanned boats for patrolling the Moscow River.

In the coming years, Moscow plans to purchase approximately 40 modern electric vessels for regular river transportation within the capital.

Today, over 130 pleasure boats operate on the Moscow River during the summer navigation season, with an average age of approximately 40 years. Therefore, establishing production of "Moscow 3.0" electric pleasure boats with a capacity of 150 to 250 passengers at the new shipyard will significantly accelerate the renewal of this fleet.

The shipyard plans to lay down the keel of the modern, 110-meter-long hybrid cruise ship "Moscow Golden Ring" in 2027. It will sail the popular river tourist route of the same name. The renewal of the cruise fleet will give new impetus to the development of domestic tourism, including increasing the popularity of the Moscow Golden Ring water tourist route. Its passenger traffic is expected to double or triple by 2035.

The creation of a shipbuilding cluster is of paramount importance for the capital and the entire country. Such facilities have not been built in Russia in recent years.

The shipyard will ensure the implementation of Moscow's strategy for the development of river transport.

By 2030, seven regular electric river transport routes are expected to operate on the Moscow River. Sixty-seven new vessels will operate on these routes, and 42 new electric vessels will operate on 11 excursion and pleasure routes. The capital's river fleet will include over 100 electric vessels manufactured by the Moscow Shipyard.

As a result, by 2030 the total number of riverboat trips will increase to seven million per year, with the number of passengers on regular routes reaching four million.

Passenger traffic will cover the entire water area of the Moscow River within the city boundaries.

Sobyanin announced the opening of a third regular river transport route.Eight new innovative vessels will be launched in the capital next year.A new river route will appear in the capital.

Revival of regular passenger river transport

The revival of regular passenger service on the Moscow River is a unique project not only in Russia but also internationally. The world's first year-round, fully electric watercraft operates on these routes.

Today, there are three regular river transport routes operating on the Moscow River: Kyiv – Fili Park (nine berths), ZIL – Pechatniki (nine berths), and Novospassky – ZIL (six berths), with a total length of approximately 30 kilometers.

The first regular route, opened in June 2023 by Vladimir Putin, connected Kyiv Station with the Heart of the Capital pier near the residential complex of the same name on Shelepikhinskaya Embankment.

In June 2024, by decision of Sergei Sobyanin, the route was almost doubled, to 12 kilometers. Two additional berths were added: Beregovoy (on the right bank of the Moskva River, practically opposite the Heart of the Capital berth) and Fili Park (the new terminal station). In September 2024, another berth opened on the first route: Krasnopresnensky Park (near the park of the same name and the Expocentre Central Exhibition Complex).

The second regular ZIL-Pechatniki electric vessel route, nine kilometers long, opened in September 2023. A year later, in September 2024, three new berths were commissioned: Nagatinsky, Zaton Novinki, and Kolomenskaya Embankment.

In June 2025, the third regular river electric transport route Novospassky – ZIL was opened.

Thirty-one vessels were purchased to operate on three routes. All were named after small Moscow rivers. The vessels are Ice 20 class, meaning they can navigate through broken ice up to 20 centimeters thick. These modern electric vessels are crewed by 102 experienced captains with an average of over seven years of service on the water.

With the opening of river electric transport, over 1.8 million people living in 22 Moscow districts now have alternative travel options.

Over the two years of regular service, over 2.9 million passengers have used them. The most popular departure points are the Kyiv, Fili Park, Pechatniki, City-Central, ZIL, and Yuzhny Rechnoy Vokzal piers. A total of 23 piers are in operation, including the new Moscow Shipyard.

By the end of 2025, 1.6 million trips are expected on regular river transport alone. More than 3.8 million trips have already been made on all regular and recreational river transport during the 2025 navigation season—a record for river passenger traffic in the last 30 years.

In 2020, a large-scale restoration of the Northern River Terminal was completed. In 2023, the Southern River Terminal was reconstructed, along with improvements to the embankment and the entire area in front of it.

Thanks to this, today, during the summer navigation season, you can once again set off on a journey from Moscow's river terminals and see the beauty of dozens of Russian cities and tourist centers, as well as historical and modern landmarks, from the decks of comfortable motor ships.

During the 2025 season, the Northern and Southern River Terminals received and dispatched 2,200 cruise ships, with 210,000 passengers on board.

Five Moscow transport projects have received prestigious awards.Rudnevka and Samorodinka: Moscow's electric fleet has been expanded with two new vessels.A new season of sports training has opened at the Northern and Southern River Terminals.

The revived river harbors have become part of the city's high-quality public space. They host concerts, master classes, sports and dance training, and intellectual games. In 2025, over 400 events were held here, attended by over two million Muscovites and visitors of all ages.

Learn to swim in the ocean of data: today is World Information Day

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On November 26, the planet celebrates World Information Day, established in 1994 at the initiative of UNESCO and the International Informatization Academy. This date is a call to reflect on an era when information is as necessary as air, but becomes dangerous if handled thoughtlessly.

Almost three decades ago, to find answers to questions, you had to go to the library, buy newspapers at the newsstand, or wait for the evening TV news. Today, all of humanity's knowledge fits on a smartphone: information is no longer scarce; it has become a constant flow—endless, noisy, and sometimes toxic. It's easy to drown in it: fakes spread faster than the truth, algorithms select what evokes emotion rather than what's important, and personal data becomes a black market commodity. In such an environment, we need to not simply consume, but consciously choose what to believe. And the most valuable skill of the 21st century is information literacy—the ability to distinguish truth from falsehood, think critically, seek out primary sources, and resist the temptation to share loud but empty headlines.

Of course, access to knowledge is an opportunity that should be equal for everyone, regardless of age, profession, or place of residence. But it's important to know what to do with it. Digital hygiene isn't just about passwords and antivirus software; it's also about the quality of your attention, the ability to disconnect from your feed, thoughtfully read a long article or book, and talk to someone other than through a screen. Because the most reliable test of emotion is a live conversation that takes place over a cup of tea, in a library, or among friends, where opinions collide and deepen. So, calm, quiet, ad-free spaces like libraries and hobby clubs have transformed from artifacts of the past into a kind of anchor in the midst of the digital storm.

In short, information literacy doesn't mean knowing everything. It's understanding what to trust and what to ignore, the ability to navigate the flow without losing yourself, and the courage to think for yourself. New challenges lie ahead, along with ever more sophisticated technologies and forms of deception. But one thing remains constant: the best school of critical thinking is a good book and sincere conversation. Let's take a break today: check the source, unsubscribe, and check out the library. And remember: information is neither an enemy nor a god, but merely a tool. And what it becomes depends only on us.

The RUDN University team won the All-Russian Olympiad "PharmUmnik"

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

RUDN University students emerged victorious at the 2nd All-Russian Student Pharmaceutical Olympiad "PharmUmnik," organized by the Kuban State Medical University of the Russian Ministry of Health. The competition featured 116 participants from 24 teams representing the country's leading pharmaceutical faculties and universities.

The Olympiad was held in the main professional disciplines: pharmaceutical chemistry; pharmaceutical technology; pharmacognosy; biopharmacy; toxicological chemistry; management and economics of pharmacy; pharmacology.

The competition participants from RUDN University are fourth- and fifth-year students majoring in Pharmacy:

Yulia Zaitseva – team captain; Anna Musatova; Maria Gordeeva; Ekaterina Khromova; Elizaveta Chernysheva.

100 questions in 60 minutes

The competition was held remotely and included four stages. The first consisted of team registration and presentations, while the second involved solving test problems in each team's personal account. Test results were displayed on the Olympiad page within three hours of the end of each stage. Students had to answer 100 questions in 60 minutes, with one point awarded for each correct answer. Teams that scored at least 71% correct advanced to the third stage.

"We were intrigued by the question about the trade name of Roche's oseltamivir drug. At first, we weren't sure of the answer, as we hadn't delved into the details of the story. However, over time, an idea emerged: Roche named the drug oseltamivir oseltamivir by combining "Tami"—part of the active ingredient oseltamivir—and the ending "flu," which hinted at the drug's antiviral action. So we arrived at the correct answer, choosing "Tamiflu." —Maria Gordeeva

"During the team rounds, we approached the assigned tasks as a team. Each person proposed their own solution to a given issue, then we selected the most appropriate one, which the rest of the team agreed on. There were questions to which one member knew a clear answer; in such cases, the others relied on that knowledge, and we then moved on to the next questions, as we were limited in time," says Anna Musatova.

"We didn't encounter any particular difficulties in solving the problems, thanks to the excellent knowledge base of our team. I'd like to extend a special thank you to our instructor, Alina Borisovna Strok, for her support and deep knowledge of pharmacology," says Yulia Zaitseva.

According to Yulia, for her, as team captain, the hardest thing was not the burden of responsibility, but the burden of isolation at the moment of making key decisions.

"Managing a team is always a balance between democracy and authoritarianism, and the most challenging moment comes when these principles conflict. Yes, there were situations when my decision ran counter to the majority opinion, and I couldn't simply say, 'Let's do this, and I guarantee success 100%.' I had to argue not with facts, but with vision, risks, and strategy," says Yulia Zaitseva.

Recipe for victory

During the third stage of the Olympiad, teams solved situational problems remotely. These included cases covering the core modules of the Pharmacy program. The time allotted for solving the problem was 50 minutes. The maximum percentage a team could achieve in this stage was 100.

The fourth stage of the Olympiad was the most enjoyable, as it was where the results were announced and the best were awarded. And the RUDN University team emerged as the Olympiad leader! Our medical students once again demonstrated the high level of their knowledge and skills.

"The top-secret recipe for victory for RUDN University teams: a kilogram of team spirit, student tears (during exams), and three liters of student ingenuity. The addition of toxicity and a pinch of selfishness is prohibited," says Elizaveta Chernysheva.

"Teamwork and a determined determination to win—that's what drove our team forward. Frankly, the thrill of anticipation only fueled our excitement. And when victory was ours, we were overwhelmed with incredible joy! Bringing this high result to the Department of General and Clinical Pharmacology is a great honor for us. We are incredibly happy to be able to share this unforgettable moment together. And, of course, we wholeheartedly thank our academic supervisor, Alina Borisovna! Your support is invaluable!" — Ekaterina Khromova.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade hosted an extended meeting of the Council on Labor Productivity and Operational Efficiency of the Association of Industrial Enterprises of St. Petersburg (APP SPb), held jointly with the Regional Competence Center of St. Petersburg. The Graduate School of Industrial Management of IPMEIT organized the meeting on behalf of the university.

The Council meeting was opened by Alexander Gromov, CEO of the Association of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs of St. Petersburg, who addressed the participants with a welcome address from Valery Radchenko, President of the Association: "I am confident that our joint work, combining the experience of industrialists, the knowledge of scientists, and the expertise of industry associations, will enable us to develop concrete recommendations and find practical solutions to the most pressing challenges. I wish us all fruitful work, constructive dialogue, and useful contacts!"

Vladimir Glukhov, SPbPU Rector's Advisor, addressed the participants on behalf of the university. He noted the importance of holding such meetings, as well as the university's commitment to serious engagement with employers and active educational activities in partnership with the real sector to train highly qualified specialists for St. Petersburg's economic sectors.

IPMET Deputy Director Arkady Evgrafov wished all participants productive work, lively discussions, and the development of practical solutions and recommendations.

First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov took part in the opening ceremony of the Moscow Shipyard, which has been under construction since 2023.

"The attraction of significant financial and intellectual resources has enabled the development of a fully-fledged shipbuilding cluster in the Nagatinskaya Poima. In addition to the full-cycle production of regular, pleasure, and cruise electric vessels, we have also established repair and maintenance facilities, as well as a design bureau, which will enable us to develop expertise in electric navigation and improve the energy efficiency, controllability, maneuverability, and comfort of electric vessels," noted Denis Manturov.

The event was attended by Nikolai Patrushev, Aide to the President of Russia and Chairman of the Maritime Collegium, and Sergei Sobyanin, Mayor of Moscow.

The First Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that the opening of the Moscow Shipyard will facilitate the resolution of several objectives set by the Russian President, namely, the renewal of the river passenger fleet and the achievement of technological leadership in key industrial sectors.

"The further development of navigation along the capital's main waterway and many other Russian rivers is a source of long-term, sustainable demand for ships scheduled for keel-laying at the shipyard. To reduce the financial burden on customers, government support measures such as leasing subsidies and ship recycling grants may be implemented," Denis Manturov explained.

He added that more than 50,000 people across the country will be involved in the shipbuilding cooperation at the new shipyard. This includes a wide range of component and marine equipment manufacturers. A separate area that Moscow is actively developing in cooperation with Rosatom is traction batteries.
