An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Moscow Exchange's Finuslugi money marketplace has launched the "Finpodushka" service, which allows automatic investing in the open-end mutual investment fund (OIPF) "Birzhevaya Kopilka" (Exchange Piggy Bank) managed by DOKHOD Management Company.

The "Finpodushki" can be replenished from the Finuslugi "Wallet" or directly through the SBP. The funds received by the service will then be automatically used to purchase shares in the "Birzhevaya Piggy Bank" mutual fund.

The fund invests primarily in money market instruments—repo transactions with the central counterparty, the NCC—enabling unitholders to grow their savings with returns close to the key rate. The fund's benchmark return is the RUONIA rate calculated by the Bank of Russia. A small portion of its assets may be invested in reliable short-term bonds.

Finpodushki is available to clients on the Finuslugi website. Initially, the service will be available to Android users, followed by iOS app users. To begin investing, clients simply top up their Finpodushki with at least 100 rubles. Buying and selling shares with withdrawal to the Wallet takes one to two days, depending on the date and time of the transaction. There is no commission for buying and selling fund shares for Finuslugi clients. Users can set reminders to help them remember to top up their Finpodushki.

The fund's profits are reinvested daily, further increasing the expected return. DOKHOD Management Company acts as a tax agent, automatically calculating and withholding personal income tax. Clients who hold shares for more than three years can take advantage of a long-term securities holding tax break. The management company's fee is 0.7% per annum.

Igor Alutin, Senior Managing Director for Retail Business and the Finuslugi Marketplace at Moscow Exchange:

"We work daily to ensure that Finuslugi clients have access to the simplest and most profitable tools for growing their capital. To this end, we launched Finpodushka: a tool that combines a conservative approach to investing, the flexibility of savings accounts, and a return close to the Bank of Russia's key rate. Depositing and withdrawing funds from Finpodushka on weekdays takes just one day without losing any accrued interest, making it suitable for both those interested in short-term investments and those looking for long-term investment."

Vsevolod Lobov, Investment Director at DOKHOD Management Company:

"When developing the fund for Finpodushki, we had conservative investors in mind, who value deposit security and the flexibility of short-term investments. The fund primarily invests in overnight repo transactions secured by liquid securities. Each investment is processed through a central counterparty with the highest reliability rating and is secured by collateral 10-30% greater than the investment amount. The fund provides access to current money market returns while maintaining full liquidity—the ability to withdraw funds at any time."

Finuslugi is a money marketplace created by the Moscow Exchange. On Finuslugi, you can open bank deposits, take out cash loans, purchase mutual fund shares, public bonds of Russian regions, as well as compulsory motor vehicle liability insurance (OSAGO), comprehensive motor insurance (CASCO), mortgage insurance, property insurance, and other products. You can top up your Finuslugi account commission-free using the Faster Payment System (FPS) 24/7. The service is available regardless of region, anywhere in Russia and worldwide.

How a Colombian wins hearts through Russian language and traditions

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Peoples'Friendship University of Russia

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Ojeda Amaya Deibi, a postgraduate student and assistant in the Department of Human Ecology and Bioelementology at the Institute of Ecology at RUDN University, won the All-Russian "Flagships of Education" competition, part of the "Russia – Land of Opportunities" platform. In the "Culture" track, he was among the top 40 educators and administrators from 27 regions of the country.

For the Colombian, this victory is not just a personal achievement, but a launchpad for a unique project that unites two cultures and helps international students find their place in Russia. We spoke with the graduate student and learned how the magic of Marquez and Bulgakov helps foreigners adapt to our country and why it's impossible to learn a language without culture.

The "Flagships of Education" competition brought together the best. What does winning the "Culture" track mean to you?

This is an event I want not only to document, but to preserve. The "Culture" track is for those who believe that art, traditions, and values can inspire learning. Participating was a serious professional challenge, but here I met colleagues from all over the country with whom we speak the same language—the language of a love of education. For me, this victory is the start of new projects. And, as I always say, it's impossible to fully understand Russian culture without speaking Russian!

What sparked your belief in the power of culture? Was there a special teacher or event?

As a child, I was deeply inspired by the works of Gabriel García Márquez—One Hundred Years of Solitude and Nobody Writes to the Colonel. Through them, I first felt the power of my native culture. And when I came to Russia almost seven years ago (I'm now studying and working at RUDN University), I realized a key thing: to adapt and learn the language, you need to understand the country's traditions and culture. I was captivated by Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita, Pushkin's The Queen of Spades, and the films Operation Y and Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears. This was my cultural gateway to Russia.

You worked on your own project at the competition. What was it about?

The project is called "Open Colombia and Russia." It's an initiative to promote cultural adaptation for international students arriving in Russia to study. We create a space for dialogue where, through an understanding of traditions, language, and values, students can more quickly overcome cultural shock and begin to feel a part of Russian society. It's a bridge of mutual understanding.

You called the victory "the start of a new phase." What specific steps are you planning?

The victory opened new horizons. I'm already being invited as a lecturer not only at the regional but also at the federal level: to the Moscow Longevity program, to the M.I. Rudomino Library of Foreign Literature, and, of course, to RUDN University, as well as to other universities. Being a winner gives me the opportunity to be a project ambassador and participate in key educational and cultural events. I plan to actively share this experience with my RUDN University students and colleagues to implement best practices in cultural education at our university.

Ojeda Amaya's victory is a shining example of how RUDN University's values (internationalism, cultural integration, and high-quality education) are embodied in the successes of our employees.

The Institute of Ecology congratulates its colleague and looks forward to seeing his projects implemented within the university!

Opening of the competition. In the presidium (from left to right) are Andrey Nikulin, Ilya Gladushevsky, and Dmitry Ulrikh.

The St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering held a test as part of the "Digital GTO" project. Participants—high school and college students—were required to answer 100 questions on construction, design, and 3D modeling in one hour. A score of 75 or higher earns five additional points toward their Unified State Exam score. The university will hold a ceremony in the spring, where the winners will receive personalized certificates.

The "Digital GTO" is an interactive test within the "I am the Builder of the Future!" career guidance project of the Public Council under the Ministry of Construction of Russia. It is implemented with the support of industry associations and construction companies. The "Digital GTO" is designed to help prospective students determine their level of digital competencies in the construction industry. The project's goal is to expand admission opportunities, promote the training of in-demand professionals, and address the engineering skills shortage.

Welcoming the participants, Andrey Nikulin, Dean of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, noted that digitalization in the construction industry is rapidly developing, and modern engineers need to combine fundamental professional training with digital skills: "Your desire to master digital technologies is absolutely correct and promising. Today, construction companies are increasingly seeking specialists capable of working with digital products. Employers say it's easier to teach a civil engineer IT than vice versa. Therefore, competitions like these open up additional opportunities."

Dmitry Ulrikh, Dean of the Faculty of Environmental Engineering and Urban Management, emphasized the importance of participating in such projects for building applicants' portfolios: "Getting five points higher on your Unified State Exam score is a significant advantage. Sometimes, even half a point can decide the outcome of an admissions campaign. Accumulate your achievements—this is your foundation for your future profession. I really hope to see you among our university's students!"

Admissions Committee Secretary Ilya Gladushevsky wished all participants confidence and a desire to learn new things: "Every step you take today brings you, future applicants, closer to a successful professional career. The university has opened its doors for you, and now the most important thing is to boldly follow your digital path."

On December 10, 2025, Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, participated in an expanded meeting of the State Council of the Russian Federation Commission on "Human Resources," held ahead of this year's final State Council meeting on this topic. Representatives of federal and regional governments, Russian regions, businesses, and the expert community discussed personnel training for the Russian economy.

The meeting was attended by Vladislav Shapsha, Chairman of the State Council's "Personnel" Committee and Governor of the Kaluga Region, a graduate of the State University of Management; Maxim Oreshkin, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office; Alexey Dyumin, Aide to the President and Secretary of the State Council; Deputy Prime Ministers Tatyana Golikova and Dmitry Chernyshenko; Valery Falkov, Minister of Science and Higher Education; Anton Kotyakov, Minister of Labor and Social Protection; Sergei Kravtsov, Minister of Health; Mikhail Murashko, Minister of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media; Maksut Shadayev, President and Chairman of the Management Board of Sberbank of Russia; Herman Gref, representatives of federal government agencies, development institutions, state corporations, business associations, and regional leaders.

"Critically important issues were discussed today at an expanded meeting of the State Council's Human Resources Committee. A wide range of economic sectors are facing a shortage of specialists, and this problem will only worsen in the coming years. Demand is growing faster than job seekers are entering the market. The training system is failing to keep pace with the ever-changing needs of employers. The goals of achieving technological leadership, as set by the president, and mastering the new technologies that are emerging in our lives require significant human potential," emphasized Alexey Dyumin.

The speaker noted that the commission has gathered all proposals from regions, government agencies, and experts on addressing the personnel shortage. It is important to identify best practices already in place, new approaches, and management mechanisms, and present them for the head of state's consideration at the State Council meeting.

Proposals for the draft list of presidential instructions to improve the Russian economy's personnel training system were discussed at nine thematic tables during a strategic session. Vladimir Stroyev participated in a discussion dedicated to the development of Russia's national qualifications system.

"Today's economy requires specific specialists with a specific set of skills. For over a century, the State University of Management has been training professionals for all sectors of the economy and understands the importance of matching the knowledge acquired at the university with the challenges that will be addressed in the future. Therefore, from their first year, our students, through project-based learning, develop practical skills using real-life cases from partner companies. The university-company connection is more important than ever in today's reality, and our task is not only to develop it but also to improve the very system of mechanisms for developing the necessary qualifications," noted Vladimir Vitalyevich.

During the open dialogue, participants discussed all proposals in detail and refined the wording of the initiatives. All significant comments will be taken into account, after which the revised materials will be included in the draft list of the President's instructions for the upcoming State Council meeting, scheduled for the end of the year.

The best practices and proposals selected at the meeting will be further refined and included in the draft list of Presidential instructions for the upcoming State Council meeting, scheduled for the end of the year.

As a reminder, Vladimir Stroyev is a member of the Russian State Council's Human Resources Committee and regularly attends its meetings. We previously reported on the issues discussed at the January, February, and June 2025 meetings.

Polytechnic students' final projects are real projects for the Power Machines company.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Students majoring in management and engineering at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University have teamed up with a qualified client, Power Machines, to create comprehensive final qualifying theses. The work has the special status of "Project as a Final Qualifying Qualifying Thesis" and is being completed by students from the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade and the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials, and Transport. The creation of new formats for employer participation in the updated model of higher engineering education is being implemented with the support of the federal program "Priority 2030."

The main objective of the "Project as a Final Qualification Work Project" is to improve the operations of an industrial enterprise by optimizing technological and logistical processes. The project is being implemented by a team of students with both engineering and economic and managerial competencies. The team consists of six people from four areas of study: two students from the Higher School of Physics and Materials Engineering at IMMiT (Materials Science and Metallurgy), two students from the Higher School of Industrial Management at IPMEiT (Management), and two students from the Higher School of Service and Trade at IPMEiT (Trade).

Academic supervision on behalf of the Polytechnic University is provided by faculty from the Institute of Mechanics, Economics, and Technology and the Institute of Mechanics and Technology (IMMET). Student consulting on behalf of the qualified client is provided by employees of Power Machines.

Students focus on the comprehensive analysis and optimization of the company's production processes. Their primary focus is on exploring the potential use of current inventory for tooling production, as well as mathematical modeling of blank production processes from various alloys. Concurrently, work is underway to create a material interchangeability matrix and develop methods for more efficient use of slow-moving inventory.

By completing a comprehensive final qualifying work, students from various fields of study will, in addition to solving their core problems, be able to improve communication between engineering and management staff. This will allow them to more quickly adapt to the company upon employment and better understand the tasks and terminology of various departments, says Zoya Simakova, the project's lead investigator and Associate Professor at the Higher School of Industrial Management.

The goal of this comprehensive thesis is to improve the company's operational efficiency by addressing two key objectives. First, a plan will be developed for integrating slowly used inventory into production—either by using it in new projects or by modifying its technological properties. Second, the thesis will determine the economic feasibility and propose specific steps for establishing in-house production of some tooling equipment at Power Machines.

"Adding metallurgical and process analysis to the final qualifying thesis will not only allow for the economic justification of proposed management decisions but also the development of specific engineering solutions for materials processing and tooling production. This will enhance the practical value of the thesis and its applicability to JSC Power Machines," comments Pavel Kovalev, Deputy Director for Educational Activities at IMMiT.

It's worth noting that this project has significant practical and methodological implications: over the course of three years, students completed comprehensive final theses commissioned by Power Machines, with the Graduate School of Industrial Management serving as the responsible executor on behalf of the university. In 2023, students from the Graduate School of Industrial Management, the Graduate School of Engineering and Economics, and the Graduate School of Service and Trade completed final theses as part of the project "Harmonization of Production Needs with the Provision of Components and Materials." by order of the Electrosila plantIn 2024, the "interschool" student project focused on transforming the purchasing activities of an industrial enterprise to reduce slow-moving inventory. for the Leningrad Metal Plant, and last year, students successfully defended a project for LMZ on solving real production and management problems.

The comprehensive final qualifying project, completed by students majoring in management and engineering, is of strategic importance for our city in the context of technological independence, economic sustainability, and social development. The proposed project aims to address challenges related to the development and implementation of new material properties through additional technological processing of slow-moving inventory, the selection and economic justification of alternative materials for tooling, reducing dependence on foreign technologies when analyzing the feasibility of tooling insourcing, optimizing warehouse processes, and developing human resources for solving multidisciplinary problems, says Anna Chernikova, project manager and IPMEIT Deputy Director for Academic and Methodological Work.

An important aspect of the project is the presentation of the final result of the comprehensive final qualifying work at a meeting of the Unified State Examination Committee chaired by the management of Power Machines. The members of the SEC are representatives of the qualified client and faculty from the Institute of Mechanics and Electronics and the Institute of Metallurgy and Metallurgy. The defense will take place in June 2026 at the Leningrad Metal Plant.

For JSC Power Machines, integrating education and production is a strategic priority, and participating in the integrated final qualifying work in the "Project as a Final Qualification Thesis" format allows us to identify talented students before they begin their professional careers and assess their competencies in a real-world production environment. We highly value the Polytechnic University's systematic approach: teamwork among students from various fields of study, support from academic supervisors, and a focus on results that are meaningful to the company. Such initiatives are a significant contribution to technological independence and sustainable industrial development," commented Evgeniya Khmel, Director of General Supplier Development at JSC Power Machines, on the significance of the joint project.
