Director of the Federal Service for Financial Monitoring Yuri Chikhanchin discussed with high school students the problem of financial security of young people, including droppers. The meeting, organized at the initiative of the Higher School of Economics, took place at Moscow School No. 2107, which is part of the network Distributed Lyceum of the National Research University Higher School of Economics.
“CLASS Hour” with the head of Rosfinmonitoring brought together students in grades 10-11. The event was also attended by Deputy Vice-Rector, Director for Strategic Work with Applicants of the National Research University Higher School of Economics Alexander Chepovsky and Principal of School No. 2107 Elena Naumova. The meeting was moderated by Marina Shemyakina, Head of the Center for Inter-Olympiad Training of Schoolchildren and Students of the P.N. Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Yuri Chikhanchin emphasized the importance of increasing the financial and legal literacy of schoolchildren and students. As the head of the department noted, criminals increasingly use minors as droppers and it is important for young people to understand the consequences of such actions, not to transfer their bank cards and account information to third parties.
Useful knowledge on how to protect yourself and your loved ones from threats can be gained by participating in the International Financial Security Olympiad. The Olympiad also provides an opportunity to get to know the work of financial intelligence officers and the anti-money laundering system in general.
“We are always waiting for young specialists who have modern knowledge and skills in the field of information technology, finance, economics, international law. Universities of the International Network Institute in the field of AML/CFT (counter-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing. – Ed.) prepare future financial intelligence officers. We invite you to become part of this big family,” said Yuri Chikhanchin.
Alexander Chepovsky noted the active work of the Higher School of Economics in the field of financial security: “Since 2024, we have become part of the International Network Institute in the Sphere of AML/CFT (INI) and actively support financial security events for schoolchildren and students, and also create our own projects. For example, this academic year we are launching the minor “Financial Security and Computer Investigations” for second-year students, which will provide the necessary knowledge base and form important legal, financial and digital competencies. Upon completion of the training, students will receive an official document on microqualification. And school graduates, when entering a number of bachelor’s and specialist’s degree programs at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, receive preferences for high results in the International Olympiad on Financial Security, of which we are a co-organizer as a member of the INI.”
During the “CLASS Hour”, students asked the head of the Russian financial intelligence service questions, took part in the thematic game “True or Fake” and solved a practical case in the role of analysts.
As part of the meeting, a tour of the school museum of historical large-scale miniatures of the Great Patriotic War “Muzimmion” was also organized.
