The results of the first All-Russian Space Dictation, organized as part of the federal project "Personnel for Space," have been announced. The top three finishers were young researchers from the State University of Management—graduate students Nikita Akinshin and Vladimir Kutkov.

Over a thousand people from across Russia participated in the event—students, young professionals, and anyone passionate about space and science. Each participant has already received a personalized certificate. The organizers expressed special gratitude to the universities whose students demonstrated the greatest participation: the First Management University, Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU), Moscow Automobile and Road Construction State Technical University (MADI), Russian State Hydrometeorological University (RSHU), and St. Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation (SUAI).

Winners were determined by the number of correct answers: one question = one point. The competition demanded not only knowledge but also speed—in cases of ties, the time it took to submit the work was taken into account; in some cases, the difference was literally a few seconds.

Our colleagues, graduate students Nikita Akinshin and Vladimir Kutkov, took the lead in the race, receiving a navigator's watch from the "Gagarin" series as a prize. Everyone who made it into the top 30 received special certificates, as well as prizes and gifts from the federal project "Personnel for Space."

Alexander Vedekhin, administrator of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science's federal project "Personnel for Space," thanked all participants, organizers, partners, and universities for their contribution to the development of scientific and technical culture and their support of interest in space: "We hope the All-Russian Space Dictation will become an important educational initiative that will unite students and young professionals from across the country. Thanks to this event, thousands of participants across our country will not only test their knowledge of space but also foster interest in scientific and technical creativity. I am confident that this will help us all prepare a new generation of engineers and specialists capable of solving the strategic challenges of the Russian space industry and ensuring the country's technological leadership in the future."

We heartily congratulate our winners! GUU is the best again!

Banks, money, December 2: The first management celebrates Bank Worker's Day

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Today, Russia celebrates banking and financial professionals—a professional holiday for those who ensure the stability and transparency of our country's financial system every day.

From Elizabeth Petrovna to the present day

The holiday was established in 2004 at the initiative of the Association of Russian Banks. The date was chosen for a reason: it was on December 2, 1990, that two key laws were adopted: "On the Central Bank of the Russian Federation" and "On Banks and Banking Activities." These documents laid the foundation for Russia's modern banking system.

The history of banking in the country is much older—over 250 years old. The first financial institutions emerged during the reign of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna. In 1754, the Merchant and Noble Loan Banks were established, followed by the Copper Bank, where one could not only take out loans but also make deposits. Later, all functions were consolidated into the Unified State Loan Bank.

In the 19th century, the commercial sector in Russia was actively developing: banks began to finance industry, trade, and individuals. After the 1917 Revolution, the system was nationalized, and during the New Economic Policy (NEP), it was partially revived, but under strict state control. The modern era began in the 1990s, when the country transitioned to a market economy. Today, more than 300 credit institutions operate in Russia, and their activities are monitored by the Bank of Russia, the guarantor of the stability of the ruble and the financial security of its citizens.

Banking at the State University of Management

"Modern challenges—threats of international terrorism, decentralized autonomous applications (including cryptocurrencies), public and private blockchain services, cybercrime, and virtual banks—require prompt and flexible solutions. Therefore, the primary task of universities in this regard is to develop qualified personnel, develop educational programs, and produce technologies in relevant fields," noted Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the First Management University.

At the State University of Management, the training of future banking specialists and entrepreneurs is closely linked to the real sector. The Department of Banking and Entrepreneurship at the Institute of Economics and Finance (IEF GUU) collaborates with leading financial and commercial organizations across the country. Partners include Sberbank, VTB Bank, Alfa-Bank, Expobank, Ingosstrakh, and Alt-Invest. Support for the development of entrepreneurial initiatives is also provided by the SME Corporation, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation, the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs, the State Budgetary Institution Small Business of Moscow, and Novard Corporation. This integration of education and industry provides graduates not only with in-depth theoretical knowledge but also with work readiness from day one. Students gain not only in-depth knowledge but also practical skills through master classes, case competitions, and internships with leading employers, ensuring graduates receive not just a diploma but genuine readiness to work in a dynamic financial environment from day one.

Work for the benefit of man

It's worth noting that a Russian banker is more than just a numbers specialist. They advise clients, help open accounts or apply for loans, handle payments and foreign exchange transactions, analyze financial risks, and advise on wise investment and capital protection. This profession requires precision, listening skills, and a willingness to explain complex matters in simple terms. On December 2, the best in this field are awarded the National Banking Award, established in 2005. Winners receive a statuette of a winged lion—a symbol inspired by the griffins on the Bank Bridge in St. Petersburg. Many banks host seminars and lectures, where employees discuss new technologies, legislative changes, and the experiences of their colleagues.

However, Bank Worker's Day isn't just an occasion to present awards; it's also a reminder: behind every transfer, every deposit, every consultation, there's a human being. And their work makes the country's financial life honest, reliable, and focused on the real, everyday problems and challenges of our citizens.

On behalf of our entire university community, we congratulate our colleagues and students who have chosen the art of finding optimal financial solutions, helping people achieve their goals, and contributing to the stability and reliability of the Russian banking system as the foundation of their professional activities!

Spectrum of Innovation: SUM Strengthens Student Entrepreneurship Ecosystem

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

A roundtable discussion on "Developing an Ecosystem of Innovative Projects as Part of Implementing a Technological Leadership Strategy" was held at the State University of Management. The event was part of the "Spectrum of Innovations" acceleration program, implemented under the federal "Technology" project.

During the discussion, experts from the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, Dmitry Bryukhanov, Vice-Rector of the State University of Management, and faculty from our university discussed how universities can become not just learning platforms, but environments where student ideas are transformed into real technological solutions.

Following the discussion, participants emphasized the need to integrate educational programs, research activities, and student initiatives into a unified innovation support system. This approach allows graduates to present projects that have been hypothesis tested and validated, rather than academic assignments, that have the potential for further development.

"Universities are consistently creating conditions in which work on startups becomes part of the educational process and helps develop a new quality of entrepreneurial talent," noted Olga Serebryannikova, Director of the Project Office for the Development of Youth Entrepreneurship in Higher Education Institutions at the Russian Ministry of Education and Science.

Commenting on SUM's contribution to this process, Vice-Rector Dmitry Bryukhanov cited the university's internal support as an example: "We integrated the accelerator into SUM's project activities to give students the key: not just tweaking an idea, but receiving a clear market demand from the very beginning and understanding the development vector."

When combined with initiatives like the "Startup as a Diploma" program, these formats create an ecosystem where students can safely experiment, learn from mistakes, and approach investors with ready-made solutions. Universities are thus becoming hubs for generating youth entrepreneurial projects.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The educational exhibition "Russian Universities – The Best Choice," organized by the Rossotrudnichestvo office, was a successful success at the Russian Center for Science and Culture (RCSC) in Hanoi and a number of leading Vietnamese educational institutions. SPbPU was one of the participants in this large-scale event, which aimed to provide career guidance and present the opportunities offered by Russian higher education to Vietnamese applicants and partners. SPbPU was represented by Elena Selivanova, a leading specialist at the Graduate School of Cyber-Physical Systems Management, and Zhanna Trunkova, a leading advertising manager at the Center for International Recruitment and Communications.

The Polytechnic University delegation participated in a comprehensive program that included not only the traditional exhibition at the Russian Center for Science and Culture but also a series of field trips to the provinces. One of the first significant events was a meeting at the Hanoi University of Business and Technology (HUBT). Along with colleagues from other leading Russian universities, SPbPU representatives discussed prospects for inter-university cooperation with HUBT leadership, including Vice-Rector Tran Duc Minh and Dean of the Faculty of Russian Language Le Thanh Van. The meeting with students, who eagerly explored HUBT's educational programs, proved particularly productive. Following the presentations, the students asked questions about admission, studying, and life in Russia.

Strengthening partnerships in Ninh Binh Province was an important focus for the SPbPU delegation. University representatives, along with Vladimir Murashkin, Director of the Russian Centre for Science and Culture, met with the leadership of the provincial Department of Education and Personnel Training. During the meeting with Nguyen Tien Dung, Director of the Department, and Bui Van Khiet, Deputy Director, steps to develop cooperation were discussed, including expanding academic exchanges, introducing dual degree programs, and organizing joint career guidance.

Vladimir Murashkin, Director of the Russian Centre for Science and Culture, thanked his Vietnamese colleagues and confirmed the readiness of the Rossotrudnichestvo representative office in Vietnam to continue supporting Russian universities' initiatives to popularize and promote Russian education in Vietnam.

The Polytechnic University delegation then held a series of meetings with gifted students. The presentations took place at specialized boarding schools renowned for their strong preparation: Luong Van Thuy, Bien Hoa, and Le Hong Phong. At Le Hong Phong School, where Russian is studied in depth, the students enthusiastically responded to the Polytechnic University presentation. The students, many of whom dream of studying in Russia, received consultations from SPbPU representatives on training programs, entrance examinations, and opportunities to participate in summer schools. The Bien Hoa School also listened with equal interest to the Polytechnic University guests. Its director, Nguyen Thi Bic Thanh, expressed her willingness to sign memoranda of understanding with Russian universities to promote the Russian language and education.

The program culminated in a final event at the Russian Centre of Science and Culture, timed to coincide with World Science Day for Peace and Development, proclaimed by UNESCO. At the expert session "Russian-Vietnamese Scientific and Educational Cooperation for Vietnam's Breakthrough Development," Elena Selivanova presented a paper on the highly topical issue of "Practice-Oriented Education in Cyber-Physical Systems." The audience's attention was proof of the university's educational programs' alignment with global trends and the challenges of Vietnam's technological development in its new phase—the "Era of National Rise."

SPbPU's participation in the "Russian Universities – The Best Choice" exhibition once again confirmed its status as a flagship university in engineering education, training highly qualified personnel not only for Russia but also for other countries, including Vietnam, strengthening Russian-Vietnamese scientific and educational ties.

Public Service Opportunities: Launch of "Smolny School 2.0"

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The second season of the "Smolny School" career guidance project has launched in St. Petersburg. The initiative is being implemented by the Committee for Civil Service and Personnel Policy. Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University is traditionally one of the key partner universities.

Andrey Mikhailov, Chairman of the Committee on Civil Service and Personnel Policy, delivered a welcoming speech: "This project has become an important part of our extensive career guidance program aimed at young St. Petersburg residents—schoolchildren and students. We understand that not all of you may choose a career in state civil service. But what's important is that civil service exists to make the lives of city residents better, more convenient, and more modern every day."

The project aims to develop a conscious career path for schoolchildren and promote the civil service as a promising avenue for professional development. Key objectives include increasing youth interest in civil service, assisting high school students in choosing a career, developing pre-professional competencies, fostering a positive attitude toward government, and attracting motivated young professionals to St. Petersburg's talent pool.

In the 2025/26 academic year, 96 high school students from 12 city educational institutions were selected for the project through a competitive process. They demonstrated high academic achievement, active citizenship, and an interest in government activities. A total of 745 students from 82 St. Petersburg schools applied to participate.

One of the project's key ideas is to show schoolchildren that public service is open to specialists from a wide range of fields, not just future managers. The city needs graduates in engineering, economics, humanities, and IT, and the Polytechnic University consistently helps foster this understanding among its participants, serving as a key training center for city government personnel.

At the season's grand opening in Smolny, Nadezhda Grashchenko, Head of the SPbPU Directorate of Basic Educational Programs, welcomed the participants. She noted the importance of career guidance for fostering sustainable student motivation and developing the city's workforce.

For the Polytechnic University, participation in the Smolny School is more than a partnership. It's an investment in the future of St. Petersburg, in the training of young people who are already making informed choices and striving to work for the city's benefit. We are confident that familiarization with the structure of the civil service and modern educational opportunities will help young people develop self-confidence and see prospects for professional growth, emphasized Nadezhda Grashchenko.

Among the invited guests were Anton Zubarev and Alina Pavlova, graduates of the previous season of the project and current students at the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade at SPbPU. They shared their experiences participating in the project and encouraged the students to strive for future achievements.

Alina Pavlova noted: "This project is a springboard to a successful future. The key is confidence. Confidence that your voice will be heard, your ideas matter, and that there are people around you who are ready to support you in any situation."

"The Smolny School was an invaluable experience. Today, I'm studying Public and Municipal Administration at SPbPU, and I know for sure: it all began right here, within these walls, with the people who believed in us," shared Anton Zubarev.

Besides them, following the results of the project, the following were also admitted to the Polytechnic: Alexey Ivaschenko (PhysMech), Daria Paramzina (GI), and Andrey Filatov (IKNK).

The first stage of the project traditionally takes place at the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. Participants will visit the SPbPU campus during career guidance tours. Additionally, the students will meet with faculty, learn about IPMEiT's educational programs, and visit the university's laboratories and interactive spaces.

The project curators from SPbPU are:

Maxim Ivanov, Deputy Director of the Institute of Economics, Methodology and Telecommunications for Promoting Projects and Youth Policy; Daria Shevchuk, Educational and Methodological Work Specialist and Promotion Manager at the Institute of Economics, Methodology and Telecommunications; and Tamara Selentyeva, Associate Professor at the Higher School of Public Administration.

For us, the Smolny School is more than just a career guidance project; it's an opportunity to shape a new generation of responsible and motivated young professionals. We see how students discover the world of public service, learn to make decisions, work in a team, and take a broader view of their future careers. Importantly, they understand that public service is about developing the city, contributing to society, and a real opportunity to change people's lives for the better. We're pleased to be part of this journey and support the participants every step of the way," shared Maxim Ivanov.

The project's pilot season, implemented in 2025, involved 82 high school students from St. Petersburg, representing nine schools and five partner universities. It was highly praised and significantly expanded the city's talent pool.

Among partner universities, only Polytechnic University provided participants who successfully completed the project with an additional 5 points towards their Unified State Exam score as an individual achievement upon admission.

The Smolny School is a space where every participant can discover their strengths, gain confidence, and learn to influence the future of St. Petersburg. Here, bold ideas emerge, ambitious goals are formed, and a willingness to improve not only their own lives but also the city's is born. The new season opens a path of opportunity for the students—a path that could become the beginning of their great achievements.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Polytechnic University is summing up the first year of its winning project in the All-Russian Rosmolodezh.Grants youth project competition, "Multi-Level Mentoring System 'Community Trajectory,'" which aims to develop the leaders of the university's student communities. In July 2025, SPbPU became one of 89 winners of the large-scale Rosmolodezh.Grants competition among universities. This year, the traditional competition was transformed with a focus on supporting youth policy development programs at the university. The grant is valid for two years and is aimed at systematic work and the comprehensive development of leaders of student initiatives and communities.

In 2025, 6 of the 8 project solutions announced within the framework of the “Multi-level mentoring system ‘Community Trajectory’” project will reach the final stage.

Historical program "Ignite Knowledge"

As part of the program's implementation, a system was created to engage young first-year students in the university's corporate culture and history, incorporating elements of immersion into the activities of student communities with a total reach of over 1,000 students.

Project for student community leaders "Activation"

Work with university student communities across various areas has been systematized through the implementation of a four-stage lifecycle model for the development of more than 1,500 community leaders and activists, focusing on achieving indicators and addressing youth policy challenges: first contact, immersion, leadership, and mentoring.

Creation of the student media space "Medialab"

A unique student media space has been created to systematize the media environment and promote the values, mission, goals, and objectives of SPbPU youth policy among community leaders and students. The media space has reached over 900 students and generated over 140,000 views.

A new model of student self-government at SPbPU, "Academic Leader"

A new system for working with student leaders has been implemented as part of the university's resource optimization program, supporting one public institution (academic leader) instead of two (trade union organizers and student leaders). A new training and preparation system has been developed for over 250 academic leaders, focusing on the goals and objectives of implementing youth policy programs at SPbPU.

Mentoring program of the Public Institute "Adapters"

A methodological framework has been created for developing a mentoring program within the Adapters public institute. The program aims to engage and retain student community leaders within the university and youth policy framework, with the goal of developing mentoring within other communities. The mentoring program has reached 600 students, leaders, and activists within the Adapters public institute.

A system for modeling the trajectories of community leaders "AI in PolyCapital"

As part of the project, a unified digital ecosystem was created to track talented student community leaders through a system for modeling the career development trajectories of 2,000 students, leaders of SPbPU student communities.

The first year of the project resulted in the development of a methodological framework for modeling the work of student communities. This framework is aimed at assisting in the implementation of the university's objectives with a focus on national goals. This will serve as a solid foundation for scaling up to other universities in the higher education system during the second year of implementation.

The selection process was not difficult for me; on the contrary, it was interesting and motivating. Each stage allowed me to take a fresh look at my knowledge, skills, and achievements. Receiving this scholarship from Gazprombank was not just an important milestone for me, but a truly significant event. It is recognition of my hard work, perseverance, and desire to constantly improve. For me, this scholarship is not only financial support but also a powerful incentive to continue improving. Such attention from a large and reputable organization is inspiring and gives me confidence that I'm moving in the right direction. I view this scholarship as a trust and believe that I can live up to it by reaching new professional and personal heights.”
