At the IV National “Far Eastern Logistics Olympiad” that ended last week, students from the State University of Management won a brilliant victory.
The Olympiad is a significant competition for identifying talents and future leaders in the field of logistics. This year, the Olympiad was held at the Vladivostok State University in conditions of the highest competition, bringing together the best students from the country’s leading universities in an online format:
State University of Management; Vladivostok State University; Saint Petersburg State University of Economics; Siberian State University of Science and Technology named after Academician M.F. Reshetnev; Samara National Research University named after Academician S.P. Korolev; Maritime State University named after Admiral G.I. Nevelskoy; Far Eastern Federal University.
The Olympiad is not just a competition. It is an important stage in the professional development of future logisticians. Participants were asked to solve complex problems that require deep knowledge, analytical skills, a creative approach and the ability to work in a team. The Olympiad provided an opportunity to demonstrate their skills and exchange experiences with colleagues from other universities. The tasks covered a wide range of topics, including logistics chain optimization, inventory management, demand forecasting and development of transport routes.
We are proud to announce that 1st year student of SUM Ksenia Kudryavtseva became the winner of the Far Eastern Olympiad in Logistics!

To learn more about Ksenia Kudryavtseva’s path to victory and impressions, we took a short interview with her:
How did you learn about the Olympiad and what motivated you to take part?— I learned about the Olympiad from my academic advisor, who suggested that I try my hand. I was motivated by the desire to test my knowledge, gain new experience and meet like-minded people who are passionate about logistics.
Which stages of the Olympiad were the most difficult for you and why? — The third round was the most difficult – team execution of the case, because it required not only deep knowledge, but also coordinated teamwork, a creative approach and the ability to make quick decisions – only 24 hours were given for execution. For example, we had to develop an optimal logistics scheme for cargo delivery taking into account various restrictions and factors, such as seasonality of demand, transportation costs and delivery time requirements.
Which tasks did you find most interesting? – I liked the testing the most – it had quite interesting questions that allowed me to assess my level of theoretical knowledge in logistics.
Did you have mentors or a support team? How did they help? – My scientific supervisor, Dmitry Olegovich Rogov, supported me a lot. He helped me understand complex issues, gave useful advice and shared his experience. My family and friends also supported me, which was very important.
Why did you choose logistics? What attracts you to it? – Logistics is a dynamic and multifaceted field where analytical thinking, the ability to optimize processes and see the system as a whole are important. I am attracted by its practical significance and impact on business efficiency.
What areas of logistics are you most interested in? – I am especially interested in supply chain management and transport logistics, as they require a strategic approach and work with large volumes of data.
What emotions did you experience when you found out you were the winner? – Surprise and joy – the Olympiad was difficult, and I did not immediately believe in my result. But it gave me confidence in my abilities.
Do you plan to participate in other logistics Olympiads? – Yes, definitely! This is a great way to develop, find new ideas and expand your professional horizons.
We sincerely congratulate Ksenia Kudryavtseva and her supervisor, assistant of the Department of Transport Complex Management Dmitry Rogov on their well-deserved victory! We also congratulate Georgy Ermoshin and his supervisor, senior lecturer Denis Pustokhin on their victory in the team competition! GUU is proud of its students and teachers who demonstrate high results and aspiration for professional growth. We wish you all further success, new achievements and implementation of the most ambitious plans in the field of logistics.
