The very first week of school brought to the digest

— The history and significance of the State Council of Russia was discussed by the adviser to the rector's office of the State University of Management, head of the department of public and municipal administration of the State University of Management Sergei Chuev. "And if the State Council in the 19th century was still a national structure, which to some extent replaced parliament, then the modern State Council is, first of all, a body that allows the voice of the regions to be heard, to develop national decisions, but from the position of those who are on the ground, in the subjects," the adviser says.

— Marina Grigorieva, Director of the Pre-University of the State University of Management, discusses changes in the Moscow educational infrastructure. In her opinion, digital platforms allow teachers to quickly find teaching materials, teaching aids and assignments of various levels of complexity, conduct virtual excursions, demonstrate multimedia presentations and video materials, which makes lessons more lively and exciting.

— The results of the study of yard games were shared by the employees of the State University of Management Olga Vasilyeva and Ksenia Ovsyannikova. The study made a gradation between generations and preferred games. For example, the generation born in 1924-1944 preferred team sports games, and the baby boom generation of 1944-1967 preferred role-playing family games of mothers and daughters and school, as well as checkers and shakhvaty.

— Associate Professor of the Department of Public and Municipal Administration, Head of the Project and Educational Laboratory of Urban Development of the State University of Management Irina Milkina discusses uniform standards for the integrated development of territories. The expert believes that uniform standards are necessary to guarantee the same level of comfort and safety, but at the same time notes that they should take into account the characteristics of specific territories, adapting to local conditions and the needs of the population. — Irina Milkina discussed the urban trend of rooftop gardens. "Rooftop gardens are becoming an important part of modern urbanism, helping to improve the urban ecology, quality of the living environment and increase the level of comfort of living in the city," the expert says. — Irina Milkina helped to calculate the number of cities in Russia. According to Rosstat, as of January 1, 2024, there are 1,119 cities in Russia. This figure may change slightly over time. Of these, 16 are cities with a population of over a million and 803 are small towns.

— The initiative to abolish homework in schools was discussed by Petr Tazov, senior lecturer at the Marketing Department of the State University of Management: “In my opinion, the key problem of modern education is the search for student subjectivity. Neither parents nor artificial intelligence will replace independent thinking. But they will cause doubts in one’s thoughts. The more often a student delegates tasks to others, the greater his unwillingness to think and doubts about the correctness of his own conclusions.” — Petr Tazov analyzed stereotypes in higher education. For example, about the fact that fee-paying students are not expelled. The situation may change next year, when the Ministry of Education and Science will set quotas for the number of fee-paying places in universities.

— Senior lecturer of the Department of State and Municipal Administration of the State University of Management Alexander Shakhov pointed out the clarifications in the model charter of the urban and municipal districts of the Perm Territory. The expert draws attention to the fact that in the Perm Territory it is proposed to fix a number of powers that can be withdrawn at any time by the subject of the Russian Federation. At the same time, no clarifications are made about the actual scope of competence of municipalities. — The lack of places in dormitories of Russian universities was discussed by Alexander Shakhov. Theoretically, a student can challenge in court the refusal of an educational institution to provide housing, but if the fund is exhausted, then the demands cannot be satisfied.

– The recognition by the US court illegal monopolization of the market by Google was discussed by the associate professor of the Department of Economic Policy and Economic Measurements of the Institute of Economics and Finance GUU Maxim Chirkov. He believes that the separation of the company will lead to healthy competition and reducing services for services. This stimulates innovation, since technological giants will no longer be able to suppress growing businesses. – Maxim Chirkov pointed out the failure of the policy of secondary sanctions: “The sections of the Americans that they will introduce or threaten to introduce secondary sanctions and the third countries will stop cooperation with Russia, it did not materialize, this is obvious. Accordingly, the meaning of these sanctions is lost. ” – Maxim Chirkov discussed the measures to confront the fraud of fraud in the banking sector. “It is probably hardly possible to completely defeat such a phenomenon as fraud, as it is impossible to defeat crime so far. But we see that Russia today adapts to new challenges, because so far there is a kind of race in which the same criminals use new technologies, including informational ones, ”the economist argues. – The chances of Hungary to win the court at the European Union were appreciated by Maxim Chirkov. The expert believes that there are chances, but they are small. And in general there is no confidence in the reliability of the European legal system. – The possibility of the autumn economic crisis in Russia was discussed by Maxim Chirkov. “In general, our economy, no matter what, is developing, is growing. Of course, growth rates in 2025 have somewhat decreased compared to the record last year, but we see exactly stable growth. And in 2026, our economy has a chance to show the growth rates similar to the fact that they were 2024, ”Maxim Chirkov is sure. 

— The growth in the number of public-private partnership (PPP) projects related to infrastructure construction was discussed by Olga Astafyeva, Head of the Department of Economics and Management in Construction at the Institute of Industry Management at the State University of Management. The expert believes that attracting private investors to PPP projects is not only becoming an additional source of financing for significant infrastructure projects, but also stimulating economic growth.

— The list of systemically important banks in Russia was discussed by Nikolay Kuznetsov, Associate Professor of the Finance and Credit Department at the State University of Management. The main advantage of systemically important banks is that the state will support them during a crisis and will not allow them to collapse. There is also a downside — the terms of service in such banks may differ significantly from those of small banks.

— The reasons for the sharp increase in the number of dollar millionaires in Africa were discussed by the head of the Department of World Economy and International Economic Relations at the State University of Management, Evgeny Smirnov. There are currently 123 thousand millionaires in Africa, and over the next decade their number will grow by 65%. According to the economist, the gap between the rich and the poor will continue to grow at least as long as African countries are characterized by consistently high rates of economic growth.

— Associate Professor of the Department of Economic Policy and Economic Measurements of the State University of Management Artem Savostitsky spoke about the significance of the Eastern Economic Forum in an interview: “Over 10 years, the platform has become a very significant driver and the second most important platform in Russia after the St. Petersburg Economic Forum. More than 70,000 participants from 130 countries have passed through it, almost half of the world.”

St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and the State Hermitage Museum present a new joint project – a series of video films “Formula of Art”.

The leading engineering university and the largest museum in Russia are long-standing partners. The cooperation began back in 2016, and at the end of 2023 it received a new impetus for development. All these years, the university and the museum have been developing and improving the engineering and security systems of the Hermitage, conducting scientific research, interacting in expert and information-analytical activities, joint public and youth projects, in the field of employment and job placement.

The new creative initiative was born as a result of mutual interest and cooperation between the press services of both institutions and has evolved into a large-scale joint project.

"The idea is to connect masterpieces of the past with the achievements of modern science," said Marianna Dyakova, Head of the SPbPU Public Relations Department. "The project is based on searching for parallels between the museum exhibits and the scientific developments of Polytechnic University scientists. For example, research in the field of lithium-ion batteries is reflected in antique mechanical watches from the museum collection. More than a dozen such interesting intersections have already been found, and work on new ideas continues."

In the first episode of Formula of Art, viewers are invited to take a journey from the Middle Ages to the present day. The subject of the research was the protective clothing of warriors five hundred years ago and now. The role of an expert on knightly armor was played by Yuri Efimov, a senior researcher at the Arsenal Department of the State Hermitage. Straight from the Knights' Hall of the Hermitage, we are transported to the Scientific and Educational Center of the Polytechnic University "Mechanical Engineering Technologies and Materials", where its director Pavel Novikov talks about modern protective equipment.

The science that the Hermitage is engaged in comprehends and organizes the past. Scientists at the Polytechnic University create technologies of the future. Our project, born out of mutual curiosity, shows that both can be equally fascinating, says Olga Eberts, Head of the Information Projects Department of the State Hermitage.

The authors plan to release new films every month. Not only the Polytechnic University staff and students, but absolutely all viewers will be able to see them on the university's information resources, immerse themselves in the atmosphere of historical halls where works of art created by great creators are kept, and feel the amazing connection of eras, the unity of age-old wisdom, talent and service to progress. The project will also be presented on the official communication channels of the State Hermitage. Placing content on the media platforms of one of the world's leading museums will allow for maximum audience reach and attract the attention of both Russian and international users.

The target audience of the project is the broadest circles of the public. It will be interesting for both children and teenagers, as well as adults who want to see familiar museum exhibits in a new light. "Formula of Art" allows you to take a new look at the connection between the past, the present and the future, – Marianna Dyakova is sure.

On September 3, 2025, a meeting of students from leading Moscow universities — natives of the Kursk region — with the acting governor of the region, Alexander Khinshtein, took place within the walls of the Bauman Moscow State Technical University. Among others, students from the State University of Management attended the meeting.

The dialogue was structured in the format of an open discussion, which allowed young people to directly ask questions about the prospects for the development of the region, as well as to identify key areas that, in their opinion, require priority attention. First of all, students were interested in the topics of young specialists returning to their small homeland after completing their studies in Moscow, creating a comfortable infrastructure for life and work, developing education, culture and the economy.

Alexander Khinshtein emphasized the strategic objective of attracting young specialists back to the region:

"It is interesting to learn about the problems that concern you and to answer an important question: what is needed to prevent young people from leaving Kursk Oblast? And this is, perhaps, the main goal of my meeting today – to talk about how I see the development of the region and why it is very important for young and competent specialists and managers to return home," the acting governor noted.

The meeting was also attended by Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Konstantin Mogilevsky, who noted the special connection of young people with their small homeland. In his speech, he emphasized that, despite studying and working in Moscow, many students maintain deep personal and family ties with the Kursk region, and it is this connection that forms the basis for the return of young people and the future development of the region.

During the discussion, issues directly affecting the quality of life and prospects of the region were raised. Particular attention was paid to the development of transport infrastructure: students were interested in the construction of a new railway station in Kursk, the possibility of electrifying sections and constructing a second track in Zheleznogorsk, resuming work on the reconstruction of the airport, as well as the condition of roads and transport links between settlements.

A significant block of questions concerned the preservation of historical and cultural heritage. Alexander Khinshtein noted that there are nine cultural heritage sites on the territory of the Kursk Fortress, of which restoration work is already underway on four; in parallel, the reconstruction of the historical building of the former men's classical gymnasium has been resumed, and in the future, improvement of the Znamensky Cathedral is planned.

The topic of education was no less relevant. The acting governor emphasized that there are four universities in the Kursk region, and each has potential for development. He noted that the creation of branches of federal universities in the cities of the region is being discussed, as well as the expansion of opportunities for practical training and internships for students at regional enterprises. One of the students present at the meeting asked to pay attention to colleges in the region, in particular, the Rylsk Aviation Technical College.

Answering the question about how to attract students back to the region, given the level of wages in the region and in the capital, Alexander Khinshtein noted that it will be difficult to compete with Moscow, but at the same time it is easier to prove yourself in the region than in large cities. He also shared that plans include announcing a recruitment of young people to work in government bodies.

A separate area of discussion was measures to develop border territories. Alexander Khinshtein spoke about the preparation of a border restoration program, including socio-economic incentives for businesses and investors, which should become the basis for long-term growth and increased sustainability of the region.

Such events become a significant platform for open dialogue between the authorities and youth, as well as for generating ideas and finding practical solutions.

Students and graduates from 33 leading technical universities presented their ideas for Russia's digital economy at IT CAMP 2025, an educational program that annually helps young people find employment in the country's largest companies. Ksenia Eremina, a student at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, took first place as part of the IT_fountain team following the public defense of her projects.

The summer youth program IT CAMP is held with the support of the Scientific and Technological University "Sirius" for the fifth year in a row. Together with Gazprom Neft, its partners are 28 Russian technology companies, including: "Astra Group", P7, YADRO, Orion soft, "Trukonf", "Rostelecom", "Uralchem", SberTech and others.

"We created IT CAMP as a platform where talents and technologies intersect," said Leonid Potapov, head of the IT CAMP program. "Every year, out of several thousand students who pass the selection, a hundred future leaders of the digital industry meet here with those who determine its development today. Two weeks of complete immersion is an ideal environment for the birth of new ideas and the beginning of a brilliant career. We give young specialists the opportunity not just to find a job, but to find their place at the forefront of the Russian IT industry."

Participants of IT CAMP 2025 united into project teams and worked together to solve business cases related to the development of Russian IT products in the field of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and industrial automation.

For two weeks, young specialists studied technology trends together with experts from IT companies. Based on the new knowledge, the teams developed their own digital ideas for business. Following the defense of their projects before the jury, the best graduates joined the talent pool of IT CAMP partner companies, and 35 of them received offers from Gazprom Neft.

"Gazprom Neft already has more than ten thousand specialists with IT competencies, and the demand for IT personnel continues to grow," said Anton Dumin, IT Director of Gazprom Neft. "Over the years of IT CAMP, several hundred of its graduates have gone from beginners to middle developers, analysts and architects. Most of them are now working in our IT cluster. We expect that the share of young people in our team will grow by another 5-6 percent in the next two years."

"University education lays a fundamental foundation, forms a broad outlook and teaches systemic thinking," says Ilya Dementyev, Rector of Gazprom Neft Corporate University. "This is a necessary, but not always sufficient stage for starting a career in a high-tech company. Projects such as IT CAMP allow you to supplement the knowledge you received at the university. Here, in conditions close to real ones, students not only gain applied skills, but can also synchronize their level of training with our current needs. We see this as an effective tool that helps young specialists make a smooth transition from theory to practice."

The only representative of the Polytechnic University at IT CAMP, Ksenia Eremina, graduated from the PhysMech Institute with a bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science. According to the girl, she decided to do something related to IT in her master's degree program and chose the Gazprom Neft and Polytechnic Institute's corporate master's program "Enterprise IT Infrastructure" at IKNK.

"Thanks to the corporate Master's program, I got to IT CAMP," Ksenia shared. "Our project was called "Model for assessing IT solutions in the oil industry." The goal was to optimize the process of selecting fields and generating project documentation. We developed a product based on LLM agents to automate one of the business processes related to document flow. Our team was made up of managers and specialists involved in analytics in IT products, so each participant was full of ideas. As a result of the discussions, we were able to come to a common vision of the solution and implement it. I am grateful to the guys for being able to unite, everyone gave 100 percent, thanks to which our team achieved such high results. I would like to especially thank our team mentor Daniil Rochev, who supported and inspired us. I would also like to thank Oleg Felixovich Mikhailov, former head of the development department at the CompMechLab laboratory at SPbPU, for the opportunities he provided and for believing in me as a specialist. I would also like to especially mention Igor Valerievich Nikiforov, a teacher at the Higher School of Software Engineering, and thank him for supporting students in all their endeavors."

IT CAMP is an all-Russian educational program that is included in the events of the Decade of Science and Technology of the Russian Federation. IT CAMP is held every summer at the Sirius University of Science and Technology. Over the past five years, more than 10,000 students have taken part in the selection, and more than 440 young IT specialists have graduated from the program.

In 2025, the program for the first time combined two educational tracks – for university students and young IT specialists from large industry companies. The winners among students joined the talent pool of Russian technology companies, and three winning teams among young IT specialists were automatically enrolled in the final of the IT championship of the oil industry.
