Let us recall that the cooperation agreement between the Russian Military Library and the State University of Management was signed in April of this year.

The interdisciplinary Olympiad includes a range of general education subjects: computer science, economics, social studies, English language and additional areas – financial and management literacy, basics of public speaking, project management.

"We at RVB are creating a comprehensive educational ecosystem for the development of future entrepreneurs – from school to professional development. Our joint Olympiad with the State University of Management "The Future of Business" is a chance for Russian schoolchildren to prove themselves and the opportunity to take their first steps in entrepreneurship," said Tatyana Kim.

Participants of the Olympiad will receive career advice from experts, points for admission to the State University of Management, certificates for finalists and gifts from the RVB company.

"The Aleksandrovskoye Commercial School, on the basis of which the State University of Management was later founded, trained entrepreneurs and businessmen even in the pre-revolutionary era and was associated with many famous representatives of the Moscow merchant class. All these years, we have continued and developed the traditions of Russian entrepreneurship, trained specialized specialists, organized thematic excursions, opened entrepreneurship classes, and now, together with the Russian Higher School of Management, we will implement an Olympiad for talented schoolchildren who will be able to develop the economy of our country in the future," shared Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management.

In addition, RVB, together with the State University of Management, will launch the Children's Business School (DBS) in the fall — a free educational program for schoolchildren. Online courses that are available for independent study from anywhere in the world. As part of the online school, students will learn about the experience of large entrepreneurs, master basic tools for work — resource search and risk management — learn to form business ideas and strategies, find partners and scale their business, and in the end, launch their own business project. After each educational block, students have access to interactive tasks to consolidate the knowledge they have gained. Completing the DBS course will help schoolchildren prepare for participation in the Olympiad on innovative entrepreneurship.

We will inform you about the start of the Olympiad later.

September 8 marks International Literacy Day, established by UNESCO in 1966.

The holiday is intended to remind people of the importance of basic numeracy and writing skills, and to promote efforts to combat illiteracy. This is especially relevant in the era of widespread and rapidly developing tools based on artificial intelligence. People are gradually losing the need to properly format written speech, since modern Internet technologies are built in such a way that they understand requests even with errors.

According to last year's international study of adult skills conducted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), reading and mathematical literacy, as well as the ability to solve problems, are falling almost everywhere in the world. Only 1% of respondents showed the maximum level in the tests. Over the past 10 years since the last similar study, only residents of Denmark and Finland have become better readers. France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Israel, South Korea and other developed countries show below-average results in all three types of skills. Experts believe that the influx of migrants spoils the statistics of these countries, but they also admit that this is not the only problem. Adults in general have become worse at reading and writing, but they still significantly outperform school-age children in the tests – that is, the decline in literacy is systemic.

Some may wonder why it is necessary to follow the rules at all, if AI and Internet bots perfectly understand queries with errors and give relevant answers? But as Vladimir Putin correctly noted at the Eastern Economic Forum, artificial intelligence and neural networks are only a tool, and decision-making and responsibility for them lies with a person. And making the right decisions without the ability to read and write is impossible.

The State University of Management congratulates everyone on the International Literacy Day, especially our Department of Russian Language and General Disciplines. Remember that following the basic rules of speech construction in communication, numeracy skills and general erudition keep human civilization from degradation and collapse. Take care of yourself, read books, write correctly.

On the morning of September 8, in the Polytechnic buildings, the sentries of the "Memory Watch" — students of the SPbPU Military Training Center — stood in honor guard at the steles with lit candles and 125-gram pieces of bread. This is how the university has been beginning mourning and solemn events dedicated to the day the Leningrad siege began for many years. This year, the tragic date was celebrated for the 84th time.

At 12 o'clock, Polytechnic University teachers laid flowers at the memorial at the Bogoslovskoye Cemetery. And at 13 o'clock, SPbPU staff and students came to a rally at the Monument to the Fallen Polytechnicians.

Every year, in addition to the university staff and residents of besieged Leningrad, new participants appear here – first-year students who have just entered the university. Those who came to St. Petersburg from other regions know little about the blockade. Therefore, for them, this rally is one of the first lessons in the history of the city.

Associate Professor of the Higher School of Social Sciences Ivan Kolomeitsev recalled that the siege of Leningrad by Nazi troops and their accomplices lasted from September 8, 1941 to January 27, 1944. According to official data, the number of civilian casualties reached almost 1 million 100 thousand people. During the siege, workshops for the production of equipment necessary for the front were organized at the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute. Polytechnic engineers ensured the operation of the ice route on Lake Ladoga, the famous Road of Life. Military equipment developed by LPI graduates was produced at defense plants in our country.

Dear veterans, colleagues, the Leningrad blockade is one of the most dramatic pages of the Great Patriotic War. The further it goes into the past, the more vivid many of the events of those years become. It seems to me that what happened then in Leningrad has no analogues in history. As it is written on the granite slab of the monument where we have gathered, the polytechnicians did everything with their labor and military feat to withstand and win. In this mournful moment, let us remember those who gave their lives during the blockade, – Advisor to the rector's office, Professor Vladimir Glukhov addressed the participants of the rally.

The memory of the victims was honored with a minute of silence.

Veterans of the Polytechnic University, children of war and residents of besieged Leningrad Zinaida Matveyevna Filina and Irina Vasilyevna Novozhilova also spoke at the rally. They thanked the younger generation for their memory and attention to the veterans.

On behalf of the youth, 11th grade students of the Natural Science Lyceum Rodion Kurskiyev and Anatoly Zozulya spoke; they read poems by Vera Inber and Alexander Prokofiev.

The rally ended with the laying of flowers at the Monument to the Fallen Polytechnicians. After that, the cadets of the Military Training Center and the Polytechnic activists went to the Piskarevskoye Cemetery to lay a wreath and flowers at the memorial and burial site of the Polytechnicians.

On September 5, 2025, the State University of Management hosted the ceremonial launch of the educational program “Banking Business Management” – a joint project of Expobank JSC and the State University of Management, as well as the opening of the Expobank laboratory.

Let us recall that the cooperation agreement between GUU and Expobank was signed in February of this year.

The opening ceremony of the laboratory and the launch of the program began with a ceremonial ribbon cutting, after which the students of the State University of Management were presented not only with a bright classroom with small comfortable tables equipped with 26 new laptops, but also with the prospect of becoming leaders in the financial industry.

Expobank has 37 branches in 19 regions of Russia and ranks 25th in terms of capital in the market. It has an ecosystem that includes medicine, hotel and automobile businesses. This is a relatively small boutique bank that specializes in complex non-standard transactions with high uncertainty, thereby bypassing competitors who prefer standard work schemes. Students of the First Management will have to learn such a creative approach to banking. As an additional motivation, Expobank will pay a personal scholarship to each student who enters the network program before the first certification. In the future, only the most capable students who complete the first session without debts and Cs will retain the additional reward.

Greeting the assembled students of the State University of Management, Vice-Rector Dmitry Bryukhanov recalled yesterday's meeting with first-year students, which caused a great stir, and expressed confidence that the new laboratory will help students in implementing their projects.

"Today, thanks to the active position of our partner, we are opening a beautiful and functional classroom. We hope that this base will help you quickly get involved in the learning process and come to classes with joy, especially since Expobank is ready to help in implementing the educational program of banking business management. The program will help you immerse yourself in the complex world of financial flows, which today is closely connected with the IT sphere, so the classroom is equipped with the latest technology. Thanks to Expobank, we are glad that the first week of the academic year was marked by such a wonderful event," said Dmitry Bryukhanov.

Expobank's Director of Human Resources, Galina Weisband, told the students that this was the bank's first experience of this kind, so it would learn to build the educational process together with them.

"We believe that the main client of the university is not students or their parents, but employers who know better than others what kind of specialists they need. Our educational program, on the one hand, has academic importance, and on the other, it develops you in the banking profession. Classes will be held not only in this auditorium, where our specialists will come, but also in our bank. We are very much looking forward to seeing you in practice, and later as HR specialists, but in no way do we limit your ambitions and aspirations if you choose to work elsewhere. Welcome to our department!" Galina Weisband greeted the students.

Expobank's Director of Human Resources Maxim Dzyuba and Deputy Chairman of the Board Galina Lobova introduced the students to the company's activities.

"We believe that the university auditorium is the place with the greatest potential. That is why we are here and honestly say that we want to hunt you down, but we do not chain you to the radiator – you are free to choose your career path. We have 80 scholarship programs, internships with good salaries for people even with zero experience in the banking sector, young but experienced mentors. We are looking forward to the opportunity to work with you," Maxim Dzyuba addressed the future bankers.

At the end of the ceremony, the students asked questions that interested them, which mainly concerned the non-standard nature of their work, as stated by the guests, and also wrote messages to their future selves on the board.

September 8 is a special date in the history of our country and its northern capital, St. Petersburg. Today we remember the victims of the Leningrad siege during the Great Patriotic War.

The siege lasted an incredibly long 872 days, from September 8, 1941 to January 27, 1944. During this time, from 600,000 to 1.5 million city residents died from hunger, cold, bombing and shelling, according to various sources, with 97% dying from exhaustion and only 3% as a result of combat. Over 150,000 heavy artillery shells and over 107,000 incendiary and high-explosive bombs fell on the city during the siege. At its beginning, the average daily shelling lasted 9 hours.

During the hardest period, in December 1941, the daily bread ration for a worker was 250 grams, everyone else, including the elderly and children, received 125 grams. Despite these hellish conditions, the residents of Leningrad were ready to give even their own blood for the front. Every day, 300 to 700 people donated it for the wounded soldiers. By the beginning of 1944, a total of 144 thousand liters of blood from exhausted residents had been collected.

The terrifying statistics can be cited for a very long time. Or you can read these sparse but very vivid recollections of a witness to this war crime of Nazi Germany, candidate of economic sciences, senior research fellow of the research department of the Moscow Engineering and Economics Institute (now the State University of Management), chairman of the Council of Veterans of our university from 1997 to 2003 Georgy Lagunov.

In 1941, our hero lived in the very center of Leningrad, in a house on the corner of Gogol and Dzerzhinsky streets, where the famous composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky died.

"Summer 1941. Warm. No rain. You can go to Krestovsky Island to swim in the Neva. Shop windows are filled with sandbags. Windows of houses are covered with crosswise strips of paper. Slots have been dug in gardens and parks to provide cover from bombs. Policemen with guns. Curfew. The radio is on non-stop. The evacuation of the Hermitage has begun. The shops still have everything they need."

"September 6 – the first raid by fascist planes. A day later – a massive daytime raid. From the roof of the house you can see smoke spreading over the burning Badayev warehouses, where most of the city's food supplies were stored. During one of the night raids, which happened to coincide with my duty on the roof, two lighters fell on our house. One bomb – into a barrel of water, the other – with special tongs into the sand. The remainder of the second lighter – a stump of a cylinder with a tail unit – stood on my desk for a long time."

"Heavy snowfalls began at the beginning of November. Railroad communication with the country was interrupted. Trams and trolleybuses stopped. The daily bread ration was rapidly decreasing. Almost no other food products were issued."

"In mid-December, the lights in the houses go out. People started making smokehouses. There is no water. It is cold. The bread ration is 125 grams. People queue for it from 6 am. People fall down and die of hunger right on the streets."

"On December 27, my father died. From "general dystrophy," as stated on the death certificate, or more simply, from hunger. He was only in his 45th year."

"My mother went to work as a nurse at the hospital on our street. How far it seemed! I dragged myself there to the canteen for civilians for a plate of shchi made from khryapa or a flatbread made from duranda."

(Khryapa is the pickled upper green leaves of white cabbage. Duranda is the remains of oilseeds after squeezing oil out of them, cake.)

"In February 1942, food standards were set that would probably be minimally sufficient for healthy people. However, for dystrophic people, this was not enough. People continued to die. But even in such difficult times, the post office worked!"

"In the spring, trams started running again. The destroyed houses, at least in the city center, were camouflaged with plywood painted to look like walls and windows. The streets were deserted, there were few people. In the gardens, they began to dig up the vegetable gardens."

"In June 1942, I started working, and that's when my work experience began. At first, I worked as an apprentice electrician in a hospital, and when the restoration of electricity supply to residential buildings began in 1943, I moved to work as a foreman of electricians in the District Housing Administration, closer to home."

"On November 1, 1943, I was drafted into the Red Army by the Kuibyshev RVC of Leningrad. Together with me, there were only about 40 teenage boys born in 1926 in the area, who had survived the most brutal months of the blockade in the city. This was the last draft of soldiers who took part in the battles of the Great Patriotic War."

Georgy Lagunov did not manage to be in the battles to lift the siege of Leningrad. On January 27, 1944, the day it was lifted, the young machine gunner turned 18. He fought in the autumn offensive operations of the 3rd Baltic Front in Estonia and in the winter-spring East Prussian offensive operation in Poland. He was seriously wounded in the leg while crossing the border with Germany, and eight months later he was discharged from the army for health reasons.

Georgy Lagunov was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War, 2nd degree, the Order of Glory, 3rd degree, the medals For Victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, For the Defense of Leningrad, and the Resident of Blockaded Leningrad badge. A worthy warrior

In 2022, the St. Petersburg City Court recognized the siege of Leningrad as an act of genocide. We will forever remember the incredible resilience and unbending courage of the survivors of besieged Leningrad and the hundreds of thousands of innocent victims of this war crime of the Nazi regime.

Every year on September 8, Russia celebrates a professional holiday – Financier’s Day.

This date was not chosen by chance: it was on this day in 1802 that Emperor Alexander I established the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Empire. The creation of this department was an important step in the development of the state's financial system and contributed to the strengthening of the country's economy.

The State University of Management proudly congratulates everyone involved in financial management, investment, accounting and economic activity on this festive day – both experienced professionals and future specialists.

We send special congratulations to the Institute of Economics and Finance and the Department of Finance and Credit, which are among the leading centers for training highly qualified specialists in this field, and their graduates successfully work in the largest companies, banks, investment funds and government organizations.

On this festive day, we wish everyone involved excellent financial health, confident upward movement and error-free formation of strategies.

Thank you for your contribution to the development of our country's economy.

A new cafe "Respawn" has opened on the Polytechnic campus. It is located on the first floor of the fourth building, the sign is visible from afar and attracts attention.

Let's explain right away what the name means, because that's the point. In computer games, the word "respawn" is used to refer to the place where the hero is reborn and reborn, that is, the place of new strength. And indeed, there used to be a cafe here, too, but now it has been completely transformed.

The opening of the new establishment took place with the participation of the rector of SPbPU Andrey Rudskoy. He congratulated the students on the beginning of the new academic year and recalled that he himself once loved "fast food".

Dear guys, to study successfully, everything around you needs to be good: lectures, teachers, mentors, group, friends, health, and, of course, food. Here they will prepare food that maintains energy and does not take much time, while it is filling, and knowledge goes well on a full stomach. Therefore, we are organizing a network of fast food centers at the university, where it is cozy, tasty and decent, and the price-quality ratio is very decent, – said Andrey Rudskoy.

The Rector of SPbPU noted that the Polytechnic University is counting on long-term cooperation with the company "DTKP" (brand "Gamma Vkusa"), to which several food outlets in the Polytechnic University have been outsourced, and on expanding the range of services. For example, the possibility of food delivery around the campus, or pre-ordering to avoid standing in line, is being considered. Also, perhaps, dishes with a special Polytechnic flavor will appear on the menu of these cafes. "Pancakes of a first-year student" or "Gagarinsky borscht", for example. Competition for the best name for shawarma and burger it's already going in the official Polytechnic group.

What can you have for lunch today at the Respawn cafe?

The Wild Burger with beef is a combo with potatoes and cheese sauce, and the Chicken Burger comes with chicken nuggets and potatoes, respectively.

Classic shawarma, cheese shawarma, signature shawarma "Respawn" with bacon or beef.

The lunch is completed with a cocktail of the day.

You can order separately St. Petersburg-style potatoes and Moscow-style potatoes. St. Petersburg-style potatoes are fried with smoked sausages, and Moscow-style potatoes are fried with bacon.

Those who are in a hurry get a hot dog.

You can’t call this cuisine dietary, but it has many fans, and there’s no end to those who want it.

There is also food for vegetarians. For example, falafel with mixed salad or just a salad "Cole Slaw".

Hot drinks include four types of coffee, chocolate and tea. Also soft drinks and sweet snacks.

A research fellow at the State University of Management visited the international forum of unmanned vehicles of all environments “Wings of Sakhalin”, which took place from August 6 to 8 in the Korsakovsky district on the territory of the first drone port in Russia “Pushisty”.

Opening the forum, Sakhalin Region Governor Valery Limarenko noted that Sakhalin is becoming a real innovative platform for the development of unmanned technologies. The complex terrain, long coastline and remoteness of many settlements have allowed the island to become an ideal testing ground for the introduction of unmanned vehicles.

On September 5, at the Eastern Economic Forum, the visiting venue of which is "Wings of Sakhalin", Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the Sakhalin experiment on the introduction of civilian drones will be extended to other regions of our country. Today, more than 70 scenarios for the civilian use of UAVs have been developed in the Sakhalin Region. Drones are used to deliver medical supplies and small parcels, help prevent floods, identify forest fires, help catch poachers and search for lost people.

The Wings of Sakhalin forum brought together more than a thousand experts in the field of unmanned aircraft systems from 19 countries, and 19 companies presented their products at the exhibition.

As part of the working group of JSC "Ploshchad", whose specialists took part in the business program and in test and demonstration flights, the event was attended by Dmitry Nikitin, a research fellow at the Department of Coordination of Scientific Research at the State University of Management.

On the sidelines of the forum, a representative of the State University of Management held a meeting with the head of the Advanced Engineering School of Sakhalin State University "Island Engineering" Sergey Kotsukon to discuss strategic areas of cooperation within the framework of the PISH and joint research in the field of unmanned aircraft systems. Dmitry Nikitin also took part in discussions devoted to the formation of a scientific and technological base and infrastructure for UAS, legal regulation, the contribution of regions to the country's technological leadership, the creation of uniform standards for the interaction of unmanned devices and the training of qualified personnel for the unmanned industry.
