On December 10, 2025, a ceremony summing up the results of the "Symbols of Eurasian Integration" competition, organized by the Agency for Strategic Initiatives with the support of the Eurasian Economic Commission, was held in Moscow.

The competition became the first systematic mechanism for selecting projects demonstrating the practical implementation of Strategy 2025 and strengthening cooperative ties between the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union.

In 2025, winners were announced in eight categories. These included projects in transportation, digital solutions, high technology, tourism, and financial services. The initiatives spanned a wide range of areas, from networked manufacturing to new modes of transport and advanced materials.

The State University of Management, as one of the coordinators of the scientific and educational consortium of the Eurasian Network University (ENU), presented the results of its work as part of the alliance and educational initiatives for the development of human capital in the EAEU.

The ESU project was recognized as the winner in the "Human Capital" category. Experts noted the creation of a common educational space among the five countries, the development of joint programs, student and faculty mobility, and the development of human resources solutions for the Union's future economy.

Dmitry Bryukhanov, Head of the ESU Secretariat and Vice-Rector of the State University of Management, emphasized that the consortium's victory reflects the growing need in the Union countries for modern educational practices and management training tools.

The role of the State University of Management in the project phase of integration

The university made a significant contribution by organizing and participating in the 3rd Forum of the ESU Scientific and Educational Consortium, which was held at Osh State University. The forum included strategic sessions, joint meetings, and an international scientific and practical conference aimed at developing scientific and academic initiatives in the EAEU.

It was these developments of the State University of Management that formed the basis of the ESU application, which was recognized as the best in one of the most significant nominations of the competition.

Education, science and technology as a unified system

The State University of Management actively participates in the development of institutional solutions for scientific and technological cooperation among the EAEU states.

In 2025, the university submitted proposals to establish an Association of Scientists, Engineers, and Entrepreneurs, the "EAEU Center for Innovative Technologies." The initiative aims to expand cooperation between universities, research organizations, and enterprises, as well as to implement new projects in technology and scientific research.

This work is fully consistent with the goals of the "Symbols of Eurasian Integration" competition: its focus is on technological sovereignty, startup development, strengthening scientific infrastructure, and the formation of integrated educational standards.

SUM strengthens its position in the Eurasian educational space

The recognition of ESU as the winner of the competition underscores the importance of SUM's systemic educational work. The university plans to expand joint programs, strengthen international cooperation, and promote new scientific and educational initiatives at the Union level.

The State University of Management will continue to work on developing human capital, supporting technological cooperation, and shaping an innovative environment that will shape the future of Eurasia.

December 12 marks Constitution Day in Russia—a commemorative date commemorating the adoption of the country's main law. This is more than just a celebration—it's a reminder that our legal system rests on a single foundation that transcends all laws, decrees, and regulations.

The Constitution of the Russian Federation has supreme legal force and applies throughout the country, and any regulations that contradict it are null and void. For the first time in Russian history, it enshrines the direct applicability of constitutional norms: every citizen can defend their rights by directly invoking the Constitution, and the courts are obligated to apply it first and foremost.

A product of presidential confrontation

Sergei Chuev, head of the Department of Public and Municipal Administration, spoke about the complex and dramatic history of coordinating the text of the country's main document:

President Boris Yeltsin and the Supreme Soviet of Russia tried to agree on new "rules of the game" throughout the early 1990s. Each side had its own vision. The Supreme Soviet and the Congress of People's Deputies wanted to retain their status as the country's key governing body. Yeltsin's team, however, defended the idea that the "omnipotence of the Soviet" was outdated and a presidential model was needed. Prolonged debates, discussions, and conciliatory meetings yielded no results.

As a result, in the fall of 1993, President Boris Yeltsin decided to take a radical step – a forceful decision to dissolve the Supreme Soviet, which took place in September-October of that year.

As is well known, a constitution always legally enshrines the balance of political forces that exists at the time of its adoption. Russia's fundamental law was no exception. It cemented the presidential "victory."

Expression of the people's will

On December 12, 1993, a referendum was held. 58,187,755 people, or 54.8% of registered voters, participated. 32,937,630 people voted in favor of adopting the Constitution—58.4% of those who participated.

"Russian citizens supported the final draft with their vote, which effectively cemented the country's new political system," concluded Sergei Chuev.

The Constitution officially entered into force on December 25, 1993, the day it was published. It enshrined the principle of separation of powers, human rights and freedoms as the highest values, and a new federal model.

Since 1994, by decree of Boris Yeltsin, December 12 has been a public holiday and a non-working day. However, since January 1, 2005, following amendments to the Labor Code, this day has been designated a working day, and in July of that year, it was designated a commemorative date in Russia.

It should be noted that the Constitution is not a museum exhibit or a ceremonial document, but a working tool that protects citizens' rights every day, regulates the work of government, and determines the country's future. Therefore, since its adoption, the Russian Constitution has been amended repeatedly, reflecting significant changes in Russian society.

"The text of the Constitution has been amended repeatedly, the most significant of which took place in 2020. Gradually, the model of Russia's political system is being filled with new content and practices, emphasizing that the text of the fundamental law is not a 'sacred cow,' but living matter, evolving over time," Sergei Vladimirovich points out.

Sacred symbol

More than a thousand people worked on the text of the Constitution over the course of three and a half years, and it has no single author—it is a collective creation of the era, a sacred symbol of Russian statehood. This is why the special copy of the Constitution, on which the president takes the oath of office upon assuming office, has special significance in the rituals of supreme power in Russia.

The binding of the country's most important book is made of precious red monitor lizard skin, with a massive silver coat of arms and the gold inscription "Constitution of Russia" on the cover. Although the decree establishing presidential regalia was repealed in 2000, and this copy lost its official status, it is traditionally used at all inaugurations as a symbol of continuity and respect for the fundamental law.

Despite its status as a workday, December 12th is marked by celebratory events across the country. The President congratulates citizens on Constitution Day at state awards ceremonies. Regional events include meetings, concerts, and awards ceremonies for judges, lawyers, and government officials. Schools and universities host law classes, lectures, and discussions on civil liberties and the rule of law.

The State University of Management, as a university that trains the next generation of managers, considers one of its key objectives to be developing a deep understanding of the constitutional foundations of Russian statehood in its students. After all, knowledge of and respect for the Constitution is the foundation of responsible, competent, and ethical governance.

A young scientist from the State University of Management took part in the XV International Forum "The Arctic: Present and Future" named after A.N. Chilingarov, which took place from December 9 to 10 in St. Petersburg.

The event traditionally serves as the main platform for dialogue between government, business, science, and society on Arctic development. This year, over 2,000 experts from Russia and other countries gathered to identify development vectors for the Russian Arctic zone.

The business program focused on achieving national development goals for the region for decades to come. Over the course of two days, two plenary sessions and more than 50 discussions took place on key topics, from economics and technology to ecology and security. Each session aimed not only to discuss problems but also to find practical solutions. A large exhibition was held alongside the events, where regions and companies presented innovative projects for Arctic territories.

Denis Serdechny, an associate professor at the State University of Management, Department of Innovation Management, and Head of the Laboratory of Digital and Intelligent Technologies for the Development of Territories of the Russian Federation, took an active part in the forum.

"The Arctic today is a zone of major projects, where economic and logistical activity is growing. The region requires comprehensive solutions and new approaches to management. For Russia, this task is comparable in scale to our ancestors' conquest of space in the last century. It's gratifying to realize that our university's research and educational activities can make a significant contribution to solving such an important and ambitious task," Denis Serdechny shared his impressions.

The scientist noted that at the forum, he became convinced of the relevance of the research areas of the "Digital and Intelligent Technologies for the Development of Regions of the Russian Federation" laboratory, which opened at the State University of Management in 2025. The laboratory's interim results will be submitted to the Forum's organizing committee for inclusion in a public resolution.

As a reminder, following a competitive selection process by the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education to establish new youth laboratories, the State University of Management's research project, "Scientific, Methodological, and Practical Foundations for the Development and Application of Digital and Intelligent Technologies to Ensure Sustainable Development in the Regions of the Russian Federation, Including Remote and Hard-to-Access Territories of Siberia, the Far East, and the Arctic Zone," received support.

Thanks to this, our university launched a laboratory for "Digital and Intelligent Technologies for the Development of Russian Regions" this fall. The goals of the research team, which consists of more than 70% young scientists, include:

Analysis and systematization of current scientific and technical problems of sustainable development in the regions of the Russian Federation, including remote and hard-to-reach territories of Siberia, the Far East, and the Arctic zone; study of existing and promising digital and intelligent progressive technologies that can be applied for the sustainable development of the regions of the Russian Federation, including remote and hard-to-reach territories of Siberia, the Far East, and the Arctic zone; development of methods for solving identified scientific and technical problems of sustainable development in the regions of the Russian Federation, including remote and hard-to-reach territories of Siberia, the Far East, and the Arctic zone, through the use of digital and intelligent technologies.
