On April 22, 2025, a ceremonial event dedicated to the 24th anniversary of the formation of the All-Russian Student Rescue Corps was held at the State University of Management.

The ranks of VSKS include over 8,000 volunteers from 88 subjects of the Russian Federation. 240 student rescue teams operate on the basis of educational institutions. The headquarters of the Moscow city branch of VSKS is located at the State University of Management.

Before the event, the head of the Moscow city branch of VSKS, Maxim Dzhetygenov, showed the head of the All-Russian Student Rescue Corps, Evgeny Kozeev, and the vice-rector of the State University of Management, Vitaly Lapshenkov, new classrooms in the Information Technology Center, intended for classes of VSKS volunteers.

At the ceremonial parade in honor of the holiday, Vitaly Lapshenkov also gave a congratulatory speech: “I am glad to welcome the best volunteer rescuers to the territory of the State University of Management. On behalf of the rector of the State University of Management Vladimir Stroyev, I congratulate you on the birthday of the All-Russian Student Rescue Corps. You have chosen an interesting and complex area of activity, I wish you to develop your skills that save human lives. And I thank you for this noble cause. Next year, VSKS will turn 25 years old, there will be many festive events in honor of this beautiful date. But first of all, I hope that the anniversary year will pass calmly for you.”

The head of the Moscow city branch of the VSKS, Maxim Dzhetygenov, presented Vitaly Lapshenkov with a letter of gratitude from the command and personnel of the 1st rifle battalion of the 1st separate motorized rifle brigade for the humanitarian aid provided as part of the joint campaign with the VSKS, “GUU-SVOim”.

The head of the All-Russian Student Rescue Corps, Evgeny Kozeev, addressed the staff of the organization: “Today is a special day for us. Over the past 24 years, we have become a large and close-knit team. We are constantly growing in number, we work a lot with schoolchildren and students, and we regularly participate in many humanitarian missions. Thank you for your concern, fortitude, and diligence. Your contribution helps the country become stronger. We still have many accomplishments ahead of us, and together we are strong!”

Evgeny Kozeev presented distinguished volunteers with letters of gratitude from Russian President Vladimir Putin, as well as medals and certificates of honor.

The head of the Moscow city branch of VSKS Maxim Dzhetygenov addressed the student rescuers with an inspiring speech: “Dear friends, colleagues and, dare I say it, brothers in spirit, I congratulate you on the holiday! Our staff is constantly changing, students graduate from their universities and leave our ranks, but new ones always take their place. I am sure that many years from now, each of you will be proud of your deeds and tell children how you helped people, saved lives, eliminated the consequences of terrorist attacks and natural disasters. I am proud to work with you. I congratulate everyone on the holiday. Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!”

Maxim Dzhetygenov, as a deputy of the Moscow City Duma, presented the student rescuers with letters of gratitude from the Moscow City Duma.

After the ceremonial formation, competitions were held between the teams of the Moscow City Branch of the VSKS.

In just 24 years of activity, VSKS volunteers have taken part in the elimination of 50 major emergency situations and their consequences.

Since February 2022, VSKS volunteers have been providing assistance to residents of the LPR, DPR, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions. At the same time, more than 2 thousand VSKS volunteers in the regions of Russia helped visiting residents of Donbass: they met, handed over humanitarian aid, and escorted displaced persons to temporary accommodation points. In the territory of historical regions, student rescuers accompany humanitarian convoys, deliver humanitarian aid, carry out emergency recovery work, and provide targeted assistance. The State University of Management, together with the VSKS, regularly holds events of the “GUU – SVOim” campaign.

In March 2024, volunteer squad members helped eliminate the consequences of the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall.

Since April 2024, an operational headquarters has been deployed in the Belgorod region. The tasks of the volunteers are to deliver food and other humanitarian aid to temporary accommodation points, and to clear away the rubble of buildings and structures that have been destroyed.

Since August 2024, a joint humanitarian aid headquarters has been open in Kursk. Volunteers receive, sort, deliver humanitarian aid, and eliminate the consequences of shelling.

The headquarters will be open from December 2024

One of the key areas of VSKS is working with the younger generation – from kindergarten to graduation from a secondary or higher educational institution. At present, 187 school rescue teams have been opened in 50 regions, in which more than 3,000 schoolchildren actively participate. Let us recall that last year, the State University of Management hosted the semi-final of the Central Federal District of the All-Russian competition among school rescue teams.
