On May 22, 2025, the Information Technology Center of the State University of Management hosted the forum “Statistics of Modernity: Challenges and Opportunities”, organized jointly with the Office of the Federal State Statistics Service for Moscow and the Moscow Region (Mosstat).
The Vice-Rector of the State University of Management Dmitry Bryukhanov addressed the audience with a welcoming speech.
“It is nice that such a large-scale and significant event is taking place on the territory of our university. The data provided by statistics is the basis for management decisions, and the State University of Management trains personnel for the Russian economy. Our interaction with partners today is not limited to the event, we will also continue to plant an alley of famous statisticians in order to popularize this area in such an informal way,” Dmitry Yuryevich noted.
The head of Mosstat, Leonid Kalimullin, expressed gratitude to the rector of the State University of Management for the provided venue and organizational assistance in holding the forum, as well as the lilac alley as a tribute to the memory of statisticians. In his speech at the plenary session, he also recalled the historical date that the organization is celebrating this year.
“This June will mark 190 years of statistics in Moscow and the Moscow Region. For almost two centuries, we have been collecting and preserving the history of our country in figures and facts that help leaders make important management decisions aimed at improving the lives of citizens. This is our main role. I would like to note the close cooperation with the State University of Management in terms of recruiting young specialists. As part of project-based learning at the university, of which we have been participating for the second year, many interesting and high-quality projects have been implemented together with students, for which we are also grateful,” admitted the head of Mosstat.
Deputy Head of the Federal State Statistics Service Sergei Egorenko spoke about the main indicators of the Development Strategy of Russia and the role of statistical agencies in its implementation.
“The topic of our meeting is more relevant than ever. In December 2024, the development strategy of Russia was approved, and less than a month ago, the plan for its implementation. One of the points talks about creating a digital platform to ensure the quality and completeness of data analysis. This is what we have been talking about in recent years, that statistics should be made convenient for citizens and widely used, and also to improve statistical literacy in the country,” emphasized Sergey Egorenko.
Also taking part in the plenary session were Pavel Smelov, Director General of the Center for Strategic Research, Dmitry Faikov, Head of the Analytics and Internal Communications Department of the Russian Federal Nuclear Center – All-Russian Research Institute of Experimental Physics, Anna Vedernikova, Deputy Director General of the Center for Strategic Research, and Elena Pryakhina, Head of the Department of Information Statistical Resources and Technologies of the Interstate Statistical Committee of the Commonwealth of Independent States.
After the speeches, the guests went to plant trees on the Alley of Statisticians, which was laid out at the State University of Management in 2024, where they were met by the rector of the State University of Management Vladimir Stroyev.
“Last year we started a good tradition – planting an alley of statisticians on the territory of our university – and today we will continue it. The oldest department in Russia and the USSR for training young specialists and managers in the field of statistics for a variety of fields operates at the State University of Management. This is our profile. And the choice of the State University of Management for planting the alley by the heads and specialists of federal and regional statistical bodies once again confirms the high role of our university in this field,” Vladimir Stroyev noted.
The final part of the forum was the work of the participants in three thematic sections dedicated to the digital transformation of the statistical system, data quality standards and the human resources potential of the industry.
