The Novosibirsk region was represented at the World Festival by 225 people - 125 participants and 90 volunteers. They say about these people: “They are the future.”

All delegates went through a strict selection process before heading to Sochi. Registration of participants for the XIX World Festival of Youth and Students started in early November last year. Members of the delegation from the Novosibirsk region were invited to become young people aged 18 to 35 years: leaders of youth non-profit organizations, young scientists, engineers, IT specialists, journalists, teachers and entrepreneurs, winners of scientific olympiads and competitions, leaders of student sports clubs and student government , as well as representatives of creative youth. The team was formed in May 2017.

The uniform of the delegation of the Novosibirsk region was included in the top 3 of the most memorable uniforms of the participants (according to experts of the “Designing the Future: Architecture and Design” platform)

The main criterion was knowledge of English, said Alexandra Levashova, manager for working with participants. - Language was important for communication with delegates from other countries. We paid attention to personal motivation for participating in the forum and understanding of the main ideas and tasks.

And so they returned. Slightly tired and excited, they walk along the green corridor at the airport. They roll out suitcases into the arrivals hall. The delegates are immediately surrounded by journalists and photographers. Well, how was it?

According to the guys, the festival program was primarily educational. It was interesting on all platforms: “Economy of Knowledge”, “Culture and Globalization”, “Global Economy”, “Development of Public Institutions”, “Politics and International Security”. The main idea is to strengthen international relations and develop intercultural and interethnic interaction.

At first, it was not entirely customary to communicate with foreigners,” shares Anastasia Boyko, a student at NSU. - Now they are not only my friends, but also colleagues - we studied aspects of different cultures together, this helps to understand each other, and mutual understanding is the remedy for interethnic conflicts.

This is a tremendous experience. It was pleasant that foreigners enthusiastically came into contact with us and helped implement joint scientific and educational projects. I would like to believe that we will continue to meet at other venues in the future,” says Bogdan Nikiforov, a student at the Pedagogical University.

There were also foreign students who study in our region. For example, Ismail Abarte. He came to Siberia from Mali and studies at NSUEM.

I took part in running competitions and received a medal,” says Ismail. - This is important for me, I feel proud of my second home - Novosibirsk. I also managed to work on important projects that can help build connections between students from different countries.

Tomorrow a meeting is planned between Acting Governor Andrei Travnikov and festival participants.

Is it easy to be the director of St. Petersburg, and even for more than one year? The answer to this question became clear during an interview with Kalinina Svetlana- a successful lawyer today and a former law student.

Kalinina Svetlana Alexandrovna – HSE graduate in 2013, who led the Student Legal Bureau for two academic years. Svetlana began her activities in St. Petersburg as an intern while in her second year and until graduation she worked for the benefit of the student organization and, of course, for the benefit of the population of Nizhny Novgorod, who are in need of free legal assistance.

To this day, Svetlana remains not indifferent to the fate of the legal clinic and its employees - last year, under her leadership, student interns and consultants of St. Petersburg were able to try themselves as representatives of the parties in the arbitration process! The business game was characterized by maximum realism, which resulted in St. Petersburg employees receiving valuable practical skills.

Interviewer: What is your current place of work, position?

Svetlana: Lawyer at the INTELLECT-S group of legal companies.

AND: What course did you take to St. Petersburg?

WITH: At the end of the second year, I started working in St. Petersburg as an intern.

I: In which St. Petersburg Centers did you have the opportunity to work?

From: Moscow and Sormovo centers.

I: How did you get to St. Petersburg? Was this a “conscious” choice?

WITH: At first I was interested in “what are senior students doing here?”, and I consciously asked. Then I realized that it was very interesting and also consciously continued to work.

AND: What did working in St. Petersburg give you?

S: The list here can be huge! This is a tremendous experience! Experience in communicating with the public, the ability to behave in conflict situations, independently solve various problems, and quickly navigate what is happening. Experience communicating with municipal authorities and officials. Experience in public speaking in that amount (from the director of St. Petersburg), which is especially valuable! Experience communicating with peer students who need to be motivated and helped in solving problems. And a lot of everything besides that.

I: As an employee of St. Petersburg, were you in any way different from other students?

WITH: I was the director after all. If we talk about my character, it seems to me that I could never “score” and relax. If there were current problems in St. Petersburg, dissatisfaction on the part of the guys or clients, I considered these personal problems. But at the same time, St. Petersburg also taught me a calmer attitude towards difficult situations, that is, a lack of panic and concentration on solving the difficulties that arose.

I: Do you remember your first client or the first case you resolved?

WITH: I don’t remember, because the first case was so difficult for me that I simply did not understand the essence of the question (laughs). The older guys later talked to that client, because I was only in my 2nd year. I remember well the client with whom I went to court. We lost. As I understand now (I remember the essence of the matter very well), it was a very complex and confusing matter, ambiguous. The client itself was also not the easiest, to be honest (smiles). She then called me with or without reason, asking any questions more or less related to the law at any time of the day or night... Since then, I rarely give my number to clients (smiles).

I: Did working in St. Petersburg help in your future professional activities?

S: Absolutely. Not so much knowledge, but skills in handling knowledge and communication skills. Frankly speaking, it’s difficult to actually learn something legally in St. Petersburg... Not all consultations are highly literate. But! St. Petersburg provides practice that is very useful in another sense!

I: What would you like to wish to current clinicians?

S: Passion for the job!

I: Thank you very much for participating in the survey!

General dentist, Ph.D. Chupakhin Pyotr Valerievich has unique knowledge and enormous work experience. His medical experience spans over 25 years of successful work. During this time, more than 30,000 patients were admitted, many of whom had a complex clinical situation and concomitant pathology. The doctor’s knowledge base and practical experience were formed during his work as a senior researcher at the Department of Periodontology of the Central Research Institute of Dentistry and Maxillofacial Surgery, where Pyotr Valerievich worked for more than 17 years from the first days of the department’s foundation. Professors Borovsky E.V., Banchenko G.V., Grudyanov A.I., Makeeva I.M., Kulakov A.A., Gvetandze R.Sh., Ryakhovsky A. took an active part in the formation of his professional skills and clinical thinking N.N., Rabinovich I.M., Brusova L.A., Orlov A.A. and others.

He himself is actively involved in training young specialists, and his own scientific and practical experience is constantly updated by the study and application of the most modern world developments in the field of dentistry and related disciplines, the latest materials and treatment methods. This is also facilitated by constant participation in scientific forums, as well as additional training from domestic and foreign colleagues.

Systematic approach to disease management

Formed during training and many years of practice, a systematic approach to the management of diseases allows the doctor to accurately identify the cause of the disease, correctly formulate a diagnosis and draw up a treatment plan, and his enormous work experience allows him to accurately carry out all clinical treatment stages, see the outcome of the disease and do everything for the patient’s speedy recovery and restoration of functions lost as a result of the disease.

How did you start your career in the company?

I came to MEGAPOLIS in 2003 as a credit controller, and before that I worked as a customer service manager in a financial organization. What attracted me to the company was that it was a large distributor with a good reputation and opportunities for professional and career growth. The credit department at MEGAPOLIS was just being created at that time, and I had a lot to learn. And so it happened: after a year and a half I became a senior credit controller, and five years later - deputy head of the department. In my opinion, management appreciated my initiative, generation of ideas and their implementation, as well as my willingness to replace colleagues in my work if such a need arose.

What achievements are you proud of?

During my work as head of the treasury credit department, the amount of overdue debt from clients to the company decreased significantly, which made it possible to improve accounts receivable turnover rates and reduce the amount of working capital involved. Together with the sales department, we automated work with key counterparties, analyzed the quality of payment discipline, finalized and automated systems for assessing solvency and verifying counterparties.

How did the company evaluate your achievements?

I was awarded a gold badge “For contribution to the development of the company.” At that time, only 20 company managers with a staff of 14.5 thousand employees received this award. It was a great honor for me to be among the valuable employees of MEGAPOLIS.

Among the owners of MEGAPOLIS there are foreign shareholders. How does their presence affect the corporate culture and operating style of the company?

We are a transparent company, and this guarantees paid vacations and white wages. We also receive subsidies for food in the corporate canteen and medical insurance. Every year we conduct staff assessments. It allows managers to constantly improve their skills, receive additional education and predict salary increases when a certain result is achieved. The Corporate University created in the company also helps in this, which allows for targeted improvement of employee qualifications, which ultimately has a positive effect on the company’s performance. There are more and more opportunities for professional and personal growth here every year. Thus, this year employees have the opportunity to evaluate department heads using the “360 degree” method. Thanks to feedback from our subordinates, we see our strengths and weaknesses and also receive an incentive to develop further.

Many top managers face overtime. Is this problem relevant to you?

I usually stay in the office only when large projects are due, and I cope with current work in the allotted time. However, I am not afraid of periodic overtime: thanks to new projects and complex tasks, I grow professionally. For example, in 2015 we opened a United Customer Service Center in Samara. I was directly involved in this process and am very pleased with how great it all turned out.

How do new IT technologies affect the work of your department?

Gradually, computers are starting to do all the routine work: defaulters are automatically charged penalties - previously we did this manually. Now each client receives a personal account on our website, where he can see if he has any debt.

MEGAPOLIS has a large staff of employees, many regional branches throughout Russia. How do you communicate with each other?

We communicate by email. Once a quarter a corporate magazine is published, which describes the work of different departments. There is a section for new employees on our internal portal. It describes the company structure, instructions, and responsibilities of managers. If something is unclear to a newcomer, he can ask the administrator questions through a special “Question - Answer” form.

In mid-February, the All-Russian competition “Leaders of Russia” ended, one of the winners of which was NSUEU graduate Vladimir Glinsky. At the competition he represented the Krasnodar region, where he is now developing two of his own business projects. Vladimir Glinsky spoke about what it’s like to compete with 200,000 applicants for the title of leader in an interview with the correspondent of the “Success Stories” project.

BLITZ SURVEY:

If previously I combined hired work with my business, then, starting in 2016, I work independently. Today I have two areas of activity - a retail online store of finishing materials “Kvadratura” and a production and trading company “Dvernoy Vopros”. “Kvadratura” was founded in 2009 in Novosibirsk, and currently operates in two federal districts - Siberian and Southern, in 11 cities. And the second company is engaged in the distribution of interior doors under its own brand in the Southern Federal District and the North Caucasus Federal District. I wanted to represent both companies at the “Leaders of Russia” competition, but in the end I was registered as an individual entrepreneur.

In fact, the competition took place in four stages - two in absentia and two in-person. The first stage was for general knowledge and was a series of tests on geography, history, literature and law of Russia. The second correspondence test was much more difficult - to test managerial qualifications, and those who passed it got into the face-to-face part of the selection. Having completed the correspondence stages, I took part in the semi-finals in the Southern Federal District, in Rostov-on-Don. There were 300 people from all over the south of Russia, very strong guys. Of these, 30 people made it to the finals, similarly from all districts - thus, 300 contestants from all over the country participated in the finals in Sochi. The face-to-face part was similar, but with some nuances: we worked in teams of 8-10 people, jointly solving cases, specific business problems, there were individual tasks, and various types of testing. The finals included several very interesting tasks: conducting a lesson on leadership for Sochi schoolchildren, optimizing production using the example of team production of birdhouses, and creating a picture of 78 fragments by small teams.

- Which stage was the most difficult?

The most difficult part, of course, was the final. At the semi-finals, the probability of victory was 1 in 10, and, probably, people did not think, “I’m definitely going to pass,” there was a more friendly atmosphere. In the finals, the competition was tougher, only the leaders gathered, and they came to win. Everyone wanted to express and prove their opinion, and it was not always comfortable to work in such a struggle.

Yes, 300 people made it to the finals, but only 100 became winners, fortunately, I managed to get into their number (the results were announced in clusters of 20 places, I have a second cluster - places from 20th to 40th). In fact, I think that all the finalists were very worthy, and there were basically no random people there. The fight was certainly tough, but very interesting. I think it was important to concentrate, concentrate on the result, while remaining yourself and not playing. Not all participants succeeded. As one of my colleagues said at the finals: “If you run a hundred meters, you just need to run fast for all hundred meters.” I really liked this phrase, I tried to follow it, apparently this brought success.

“As one of my colleagues said at the finals: “If you run a hundred meters, you just need to run fast for all hundred meters.” I really liked this phrase, I tried to follow it, apparently this brought success.”

- “Leaders of Russia” is a colossal experience. I can say for sure that over the past five years, this is the most striking and useful event that happened to me in the professional sphere. Firstly, this is a very effective training, secondly, it is an opportunity to compare yourself with very strong guys from all over the country, thirdly, it is an opportunity to personally see and learn from people “from above”, to understand how they live and where they are leading us. Fourthly, this is a “battery charge” that will have an effect, I think, for at least a year in advance.

Of course, this has a very strong impact on my work; many tasks are now solved much faster and with better efficiency than before. In addition, at the competition I was able to meet many participants who are now helping with their work - both with advice and with specific actions. And their expertise is worth a lot: it is independent, tough - but at the same time friendly. I immediately want to grow further and catch up with the guys in some ways.

You graduated from NSUEU with a degree in Financial Management. How was the knowledge you gained at university useful in later life?

In fact, for some time I even worked strictly in my specialty, working on bill of exchange schemes in a subsidiary of a bank. Well, in general, it’s hard to imagine a leader without financial literacy now, but NSUEM provides a very strong base. I developed on this basis throughout my professional career, so the university provided invaluable assistance in this.

- Why did you choose NSUEU at one time?

I chose the university because it provides a good economic education, and already while studying at school I became confident that I needed to do business. It was the 90s, the seething emergence of capitalism in Russia, it was interesting, especially since money could then be earned almost only in private companies. Other options were not even particularly considered; there were not many practical business educational institutions in the city in those years. Moreover, according to statistics, there was always someone to help (father of Vladimir Vladimirovich Glinsky - head of the Department of Statistics of NSUEU Vladimir Vasilievich Glinsky, editor's note).

Vladimir Glinsky: “I chose the university because it provides a good economic education, and already while studying at school I became confident that I needed to do business. It was the 90s, the seething emergence of capitalism in Russia, it was interesting, especially since money could then be earned almost only in private companies.”

- What moments from your student days do you like to remember today?

Honestly, I look at today's students and really envy them. They have so many possibilities, instant access to any information, a lot of activities that we never even dreamed of. In the 90s, as you understand, it was a different story; personally, I started working in my second year. There are many situations with work, but at the academy (NSUEU had the status of an academy until 2004, editor’s note) there was only time left to fulfill all the requirements of the educational process. Nevertheless, it was possible; it was not entirely easy, but it was effective. The friendship remained even not so much with fellow students, but with the guys from the economic lyceum at the academy. With them we went through both the lyceum and our studies at the Narkhoz, and now we communicate closely, although we live in different parts of the country.

- How did your career develop after graduation? How did you end up in Krasnodar?

As I already said, I went to work when I was in my second year. I did a lot of things: worked in marketing, sales, finance, general management. In 2001, I got into the door industry, and actually grew within its framework. In Novosibirsk, he worked for 8 years in top positions at Eurodveri Group of Companies, which was the leader of this market. In 2009, I received an offer from an Ulyanovsk door manufacturer to head a regional representative office in the south of Russia. Because of this, I moved to Krasnodar, where I worked for 7 years in this position, and achieved very decent results with my team. At the same time, he developed his own business - an online store of finishing materials, and opened a branch in the South. In 2016, we decided to deal with doors ourselves and organized the production and trading company “Door Question”, which produces and sells interior doors in the South and the Caucasus.

- Do you follow the life of the university now? If so, how do you assess the changes taking place in it?

I follow, I won’t say closely, but I really hear a lot from my father about what is happening at the university. I am very glad that the material resources of the university are developing; we did not have such a swimming pool or such luxurious classrooms. It’s great that they are strengthening the teaching staff, because this is the most important thing. I hope that this year the university will successfully pass accreditation and will continue to develop powerfully and confidently.

- What would you advise students?

I would advise you to put into practice what you are taught. What is not applied will be forgotten instantly, but if you repeat it 40 times, it’s already a habit. Paying attention to practice is an opportunity to make useful contacts. Take advantage of every opportunity to connect with potential employers. I don’t know how it is in Siberia now, but, for example, in the South, good vacancies do not appear in open sources at all. Well, I also advise you to prepare for the “digital economy” and automation - it seems that this topic will haunt us more and more in the coming years.
