An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The RUDN University Graduate School of Management hosted a large-scale international scientific and practical conference, "Digital Transformation of Business." The event served as a platform for dialogue between educational leaders and leading practitioners who shape Russia's digital landscape on a daily basis.

Vector of development

The conference was opened by Anna Ostrovskaya, Director of the Graduate School of Management at RUDN University. In her welcoming address, she emphasized the strategic importance of such meetings.

"Today, digital transformation is not an option, but a necessity for any business and, consequently, for education. Our goal at RUDN University is to train specialists who don't just follow trends, but create them themselves. This conference is a bridge between theory and best practice, allowing our students and partners to see the development vector in real time. We are shaping a new management culture where technological literacy and adaptability are becoming key competencies," noted Anna Ostrovskaya.

Alexander Kvashin, Director of Digitalization at RUDN University, moderated the first panel discussion on the common challenges of digitalization. The discussion focused on pressing issues: key shifts in recent years, practical advice for businesses and students, and underestimated but critically important trends.

The discussion was attended by top market experts: Roman Borisov (Astra), Alexey Kislov (1C), Alexey Shchedrov (ICL), Dmitry Oleynik (Sber), Milena Krasnorutskaya (Pusk), and Ilya Volkov (Points Group).

The key insight of the session: digital transformation today is not about the implementation of individual technologies, but about the speed of adaptation, readiness for cultural change, and the ability to learn faster than competitors.

Digital Storm in the Hospitality Industry

The second panel discussion was entirely devoted to digital trends in the hospitality industry. It was moderated by Konstantin Goryainov, Head of the Department of Hotel and Restaurant Business at RUDN University's Graduate School of Management.

"The hospitality industry is undergoing a true revolution. Digital technologies are fundamentally changing everything: from the booking process to the guest's personal experience. Our department sees its mission as ensuring that graduates not only know about these tools, but also understand their business logic and how to extract maximum benefit from them to create impeccable service. Today's conversation with market leaders provides invaluable insights for shaping a relevant educational trajectory," emphasized Konstantin Goryainov.

The discussion brought together key market experts: Kirill Volkov (TRN, Travel IT World), Konstantin Gerber (HRS), Fyodor Timokhov (TravelLine), Valentin Andreev (Pognali), and Nikita Konstantinov (Visit Russia). They discussed key digital trends, ways to turn digitalization into a growth driver, and offered practical advice to students, ultimately concluding: digital technologies have ceased to be a competitive advantage and have become a matter of survival. The key to success lies not in chasing the latest technology, but in its intelligent, customer-focused implementation to achieve specific business results.

The "Digital Transformation of Business" conference at RUDN University demonstrated that the future is being created today through dialogue between science, education, and practice.

December 17, 2025: "Time to Go to the Factory": Filming of the industrial comedy "Time to Go to the Factory" has been completed in the Urals.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Gazprom – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Moscow investor Vadim, seeking love, goes to work at a metallurgical plant to impress his girlfriend's father, the foreman. But combining smelting and deals doesn't work out. One mistake—someone else's money is lost, and bandits are on Vadim's trail.

The series was filmed on the workshop floor of a working Ural plant. Operations never stopped, and the crew wore protective masks while working in the hot shop—watching steel pour from the furnace was, according to the crew, mesmerizing. The town of Revda was alive with the project: crowd scenes, a celebration of the plant's anniversary at the cultural center, and participation from local groups LiS, Zvonnitsa, and the Indigo show ballet.

The project team became such close friends with the factory workers that a tradition emerged on site: every morning, they would walk around the workshop to personally greet and shake the hands of the metallurgists.

Starring: Vyacheslav Chepurchenko, Rinata Timerbaeva, Anatoly Zhuravlev, Inga Oboldina, Anna Ukolova, Anatoly Gushchin, Nikolai Schreiber, Renat Mukhambayev, Anton Osternikov and others.

Production — 1-2-3 Production for TNT.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The central section of the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya metro line is 50 years old. Exactly half a century ago, this section merged two radial lines into a single Zhdanovsko-Krasnopresnenskaya line. It later became the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line. This was reported on their channel in MAX messenger Sergei Sobyanin said.

Two stations were opened as part of the new section. One was "Kuznetsky Most," whose design evoked the appearance of the old bridge. The columns were designed in the form of wide arches, and the track walls were adorned with six decorative and artistic panels made of forged aluminum, themed around blacksmithing and foundry. The second station, "Pushkinskaya," was dedicated to Moscow, St. Petersburg, the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum, the Mikhailovskoye estate, and Alexander Pushkin's grave in the Svyatogorsk Monastery. Copper embossings were placed on the track walls, and each image was accompanied by lines from the poet's works.

"These stations are popular not only with Muscovites, but also with tourists. Today, 76,500 trips are made on weekdays. Passengers are transported only

modern trains like “Moscow,” wrote Sergei Sobyanin.

In December 1975, the line was extended northward, from Oktyabrskoye Pole to Planernaya. And in 2014, Spartak station, originally planned in the 1970s but only built more recently, opened on this section.

Between 2013 and 2015, the southeastern section of the line from Vykhino to Kotelniki stations opened. Metro service was brought to previously unavailable areas, making travel to the city center easier.

In the last few years, transfers to the Big Circle Line and the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line have been added Nekrasovskaya lineThis made the trips even more comfortable.
