Moscow, November 26 (Xinhua) – Russian-American relations are still in the early stages of normalization, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov stated at a press conference.

“Our relations with the United States are still in the early stages of the normalization process, and the overall success of this process is not guaranteed,” noted S. Ryabkov.

According to him, Washington's actions in matters of relations with Moscow are contradictory.

"Despite the current US administration's declared support for restoring dialogue with Russia, as well as the course it has seemingly taken to normalize Russian-American relations, its actions—and we judge them by them—are quite contradictory," the diplomat emphasized.

"We still need to be convinced of the US's willingness to truly respect our fundamental interests and work equally to eliminate the root causes of the current crisis in our relations, as well as fundamental contradictions in the security sphere," the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister said.

Responding to a question about the prospects of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), Sergei Ryabkov stated that the global security situation will sharply worsen if the United States does not accept Russia's proposal regarding the START restrictions.

"I would like to emphasize once again the timeliness and validity of our initiative in the post-New START area. If the American side, for whatever reason, rejects it and begins to build up its capabilities in this area, the strategic situation will worsen, tensions will increase, and predictability will be sharply reduced or even completely lost," the Russian Foreign Ministry representative emphasized.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The RUDN University Law Institute team successfully participated in the TaxIn Tashkent 2025 international taxation competition and took third place.

The team included:

Stanislav Ambrosimov, team captain, fourth-year undergraduate student majoring in Jurisprudence, General Profile; Maria Tuteva, fourth-year undergraduate student majoring in Jurisprudence, General Profile; Shokhramakhon Taburov, fourth-year student of the Tajik State University of Finance and Economics, Faculty of Economics and Business.

The consultant was Anton Oleynik, a first-year postgraduate student in the Department of Administrative and Financial Law.

The spirit of adventure and the pursuit of knowledge

Teams from leading universities in Russia and Uzbekistan, who had passed a competitive selection process, participated in the TaxIn Tashkent 2025 competition finals. RUDN University students demonstrated a high level of knowledge during the qualifying rounds.

According to the students, the preparation, although grueling, was rewarding, as they received and studied a vast amount of information. This was in part thanks to their consultant, Anton Oleynik. Incidentally, he himself participated in the 2024 competition and knew exactly what students could expect in Tashkent.

"The competition offers opportunities to showcase not only your knowledge but also your creative approach to problem solving. Last year I was a participant, this year I'm a consultant, and I can confidently say that the spirit of adventure and the pursuit of new knowledge hasn't weakened, but rather intensified and seems to have taken root in my heart. Experienced lawyers with expertise in international tax law, creative students eager to learn, and sunny Tashkent—all of this creates an excellent environment for new opportunities, connections, and broadening one's horizons," says Anton Oleynik.

Protection of memoranda

The competition consisted of two stages. In the first stage, teams prepared written positions (memoranda) for the taxpayer and the tax authority based on the assigned task. Based on the evaluation of their memoranda, the best teams advanced to the in-person rounds of the competition. The in-person rounds were organized in the form of a court hearing. Here, teams defended their written positions for the plaintiff (taxpayer) and the defendant (tax authority) before a panel of judges. For example, a case was presented in which a company challenged additional tax assessments in court based on an on-site tax audit report.

As Maria Tutaeva notes, participation in the competition contributed to her professional growth.

"Appearing before judges, including the leadership of the Federal Tax Service and the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation, helped me overcome my stage fright. I learned to control myself and suppress my panic. This was necessary to focus and express my point of view on the judges' questions and the opponents' positions. I especially remember the moments when we were presented with our opponents' positions. We studied and analyzed their arguments, after which the entire team developed counterarguments to refute them. I would like to acknowledge the support of the student volunteers from the Tashkent State University of Economics, who assisted us and showed genuine interest in our progress," said Maria Tutaeva.

"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the competition organizers for the high quality of preparation and impeccable operational support. The event was designed with exceptional professionalism, allowing each participant to reach a new level of competency. For me, participation was a significant growth factor: I developed my skills, expanded my expertise, and gained valuable practical insight. Special thanks to the rector's office for their strategic management of the process, and to the judging panel for their objectivity, thorough evaluation, and high professional standards," says Stanislav Ambrosimov.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On November 26, the 5th Congress of Young Scientists opened at the Sirius University of Science and Technology. The forum's events traditionally featured a delegation from SUM: Rector Vladimir Stroyev, Vice Rectors Maria Karelina and Vitaly Lapshenkov, young university scientists, and international graduate and undergraduate students.

The Congress of Young Scientists is a key event of the Decade of Science and Technology, a major platform for dialogue between science, government, and the real economy. It provides an opportunity to jointly review the past year's achievements and serves as a starting point for new ambitious projects. Our delegation has already signed agreements that will mark the beginning of new areas of work and development. A trilateral agreement on cooperation in science and technology, involving young scientists, was signed by Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, Dmitry Repnikov, Chairman of the Expert Council on International Cooperation in Education and Science under the State Duma Committee on Science and Higher Education, and Ivan Poselsky, Head of the Moscow Division of Promavto Group. Furthermore, a trilateral memorandum on joint work in science and technology was drafted and signed between the State University of Management, the Expert Council, and BUSINESS INTEGRATION SOLUTION.

Vladimir Sipyagin, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Science and Higher Education, was a guest of honor at the signing ceremony. He emphasized, "The development of science and technology rests on three pillars: education, research, and applied businesses working in the field of new technologies, which is crucial for our country—the companies with whom agreements were signed today. The State Duma platform, which is the expert council, is where proposals from businesses and the educational community are translated into legislative initiatives. I congratulate the participants of today's signings, and I am confident that these collaborations have a bright future ahead, leading to new scientific and practical achievements."

The congress includes events across the business, exhibition, sports, and cultural programs. The business portion traditionally features roundtables, expert sessions, and panel discussions, and also offers participants informal and interactive formats.

First-year graduate student Nguyen Thi Hai Anh shared her expectations for participating in the forum: "I'm very pleased to be participating in the Congress of Young Scientists—the most accomplished scientists and researchers have gathered here. It's a platform for dialogue and discussion of important issues and the search for solutions. I'd like to meet and interact with participants from Southeast Asia, where I'm from, Central Asia, and Africa. I also hope to discover new thoughts and ideas on the issues I'm researching in my dissertation."
