The Siberian Federal University continues its intensive educational program for finalists of the 5th International Financial Security Olympiad, with Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, participating.

Rectors of the country's leading universities, which train specialists in various fields of technological, economic, legal, and information security, give lectures to Olympiad participants and SFU students.

The lecture by the rector of the State University of Management (GUU) focused on the domestic governance model. Vladimir Stroyev discussed its characteristics, which partly correspond to the principles of the planned economy developed and successfully applied in the USSR. A particularly interesting feature of the lecture was a critical analysis of the Russian governance model proposed by artificial intelligence. The rector pointed out to the students typical cliches and stereotypes about the Russian economy that the AI had gleaned from Western scientific literature.

"The problem is that they're trying to apply traditional Western governance models to Russia, but given geopolitical, cultural, and historical circumstances, these models are ineffective and sometimes even dangerous for the country. Moreover, some of the country's governance know-how is now being successfully used worldwide, but credited to everyone but Russia," Vladimir Stroyev noted.

The rector of the State University of Management then went on to examine in detail the historical and cultural origins of the Russian model of governance, including geography, the communal and collectivist nature of the Russian people, the influence of Orthodoxy with its idea of service, and the Soviet legacy of a planned economy.

Vladimir Stroyev mentioned the significant contribution of Olimpiada Kozlova, rector of the Moscow Engineering and Economics Institute (now the State University of Management), to the systematization and theoretical substantiation of management science in our country, whose work laid the foundation for the subsequent development of management in the USSR and Russia.

"Today, the Russian economy and the domestic management school are being called mobilizational, in an attempt to prove that Russia cannot live in peace. But most of the country's crises occurred precisely when attempts were made to apply European management models to us, without adaptation, without taking into account our traditions and mentality. The Russian management school needs to be studied, implemented, and described," Vladimir Stroyev concluded.

Let us remind you that three students from the Institute of Economics and Finance of the State University of Management and three students from our Pre-University School made it to the Olympiad finals.

A training exercise codenamed "Polytechnic Shield 2025" was held at the Polytechnic University's international campus at 28 Grazhdansky Prospekt. Its goal was to practice staff responses in the event of an emergency or terrorist attack.

The first stage of the training included a situation involving the detection and defusal of an improvised explosive device.

According to the legend, the attacker, acting on orders from the intelligence services of a hostile country, infiltrated the campus of the university's Graduate School of International Educational Programs. While attempting to gain entry to Building No. 16, he encountered a security guard, changed his plan, and planted an improvised explosive device near the service entrance to the cafeteria. He then retreated to a safe distance, blending into the crowd.

A vigilant employee passing by saw a suspicious object and reported the discovery to a security guard in the building and to the University Security Center.

A security guard activated the panic button. Following established procedures, the Security Center duty officer alerted the emergency services of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Russian National Guard, and the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and also reported the incident to the Vice Rector for Information, Youth Policy, and Security and the Chair of the University Emergency Situations Committee.

A patrol team from the U-Piter security organization arrived, cordoned off the area where the explosive device was located, placed a "Fountain" explosion localizer next to it, and organized the evacuation of everyone in the building. The emergency alert system was used for this purpose.

The Rosgvardia rapid response team arrived and defused the explosive device.

The second phase of the training focused on fire suppression. The "Frese" robotic fire suppression platform, developed by young engineers from the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials, and Transport, came in handy.

According to the story, a car parked in the center of the playground caught fire after an improvised explosive device exploded. A university employee noticed the fire and reported it to the U-Piter security guard station in Building 16. The guard called 7 921 940-66-75 and notified the senior administrator of the University Security Center (USC).

The senior administrator notified the emergency services of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Russian National Guard, and the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the university's vice-rector for information, youth policy, and security, and the chairman of the emergency commission.

A fire brigade from the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for St. Petersburg arrived at the scene. A firefighting robot from the Institute of Fire and Rescue (IMMiT) assisted in extinguishing the fire.

During the third stage of training, Polytechnic employees and students were taught how to use primary fire extinguishing equipment: water, blankets, and fire extinguishers (powder, carbon dioxide, and air-emulsion).

During the event, Sergei Brilev was also congratulated on his recent successful defense of his dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Historical Sciences on the topic "Interaction between Soviet and British intelligence services in Europe in 1941–1945."

At first glance, it seems strange that I, a doctor of historical sciences, have received such recognition at a technical university. But in reality, we're all working on the same thing," commented Sergey Brilev.

After receiving the gown and diploma of Honorary Doctor of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, Sergey Brilev addressed the members of the Academic Council. In his speech, he highlighted the opportunities for collaboration with the Polytechnic University and thanked everyone for the honor.

"The Polytechnic University is much more than just a university. It's a monument to a glorious history and a portal to a visible future," noted Sergey Brilev.

Sergey Brilev was born in Cuba in 1972 and earned two degrees from MGIMO and the Montevideo Institute of Foreign Languages. He is fluent in English and Spanish. He built a career in analytical journalism and worked for a long time at the Rossiya TV channel. He has authored numerous documentaries and publications. He has received various awards, including the Order of Honor and the Order of Friendship. He is a multiple finalist and winner of the TEFI award. His achievements have been repeatedly recognized with gratitude from the President of the Russian Federation.

On October 1, 2025, the Lomonosov cluster hosted the 3rd International Forum of Digital Technologies in Transport and Logistics, "Digital Transportation 2025," which was attended by GUU employees.

The forum's business program was structured around key areas aimed at ensuring Russia's digital sovereignty: developing Russia's own advanced solutions, implementing digital technologies in the transport sector and regional development, supporting domestic companies, and strengthening the national economy's position in the global market. Representatives of government, science, and business gathered to engage in an honest and open dialogue about the results and prospects of transport transformation. SUM represented the forum by representatives of the Department of Transport Complex Management: Associate Professor Artem Merenkov and Assistant Professor Dmitry Rogov, Director of the SUM Business Incubator.

The central event of the day was the plenary session "Russia's Digital Path: Shaping the Industry's Future," opened by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and his Deputy, Vitaly Savelyev. The panelists highlighted key trends in the digital transformation of our country's transport industry, which are essential for achieving sustainable leadership in the new reality. Participants included Russian Transport Minister and GUU graduate Andrey Nikitin, Minister of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media Maksut Shadayev, Aeroflot CEO Sergey Aleksandrovsky, Russian Railways CEO and Chairman of the Management Board Oleg Belozerov, 1C Director Boris Nuraliyev, Yandex.Taxi CEO Alexander Anikin, Monopoly Group Chairman of the Board of Directors Ilya Dmitriev, and SKB Kontur Group CEO Mikhail Srodnykh. The session was moderated by Polina Davydova, Director of the Digital Transport and Logistics Association, and Russian actor, showman, and TV presenter Dmitry Khrustalev.

"Digital Transportation is a unique platform where we can consolidate the efforts of the government, business, and the scientific community to create a modern, safe, and efficient transportation system in Russia. Today, more than ever, it is important to pool our resources and expertise to implement cutting-edge technologies that will not only enhance the industry's competitiveness but also improve the quality of life for citizens," said Transport Minister Andrey Nikitin in his speech.

Maksut Shadayev, Head of the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media, in turn, emphasized the importance of transitioning to Russian digital solutions and implementing unmanned systems throughout the country. According to the minister, one of the key achievements was the introduction of mandatory electronic document management on September 1, which will significantly simplify and speed up logistics operations at all levels. "This is a fundamental step; we couldn't decide on it for a long time, but it's simply burning bridges and a one-way street. Technologically, we are ready for it," Maksut Shadayev concluded.

The forum also featured a meeting of the State Council of Russia's Commission on "Efficient Transport System," dedicated to digitalization. The discussion focused on intelligent transport systems, the experience of implementing digital solutions in the regions, and the mandatory nature of electronic document management in transport.

Another key event of the Digital Transportation Forum was a practical discussion dedicated to the development of human resources in the transport industry. Leading experts discussed the specialists needed in digital transport today, which is especially important for overcoming the technological challenges facing our country.
