World Youth Festival program. Russia will host the XIX World Festival of Youth and Students

The event was held in our country for the third time. Previous festivals took place in 1957 and 1985. 30,214 people took part in this festival (12,576 from Russia, 12,638 from other countries (185 in total) and 5,000 volunteers). It is significant that half of the participants are foreigners.

The World Festival of Youth and Students 2017 was held under the slogan:

“For peace, solidarity and social justice, we fight against imperialism - by respecting our past, we build our future!”

Although it must be admitted that this slogan had very little impact on the content of the festival.

It should be taken into account that each festival was held on one or another historical era. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to talk about the era in which we live today, and about the situation in which the whole world and Russia in particular now find themselves, in order to start a conversation about what the World Festival of Youth and Students brought in its anniversary ( the first one took place in 1947) and in the Russian centennial revolutionary year 2017.

TODAY'S DAY

The third generation of people living in a new logic of social behavior has entered life on our planet. It was the second and third generations, represented by the youth of almost all countries of the planet, that were represented at the festival. The change in logic is characterized by the fact that since the middle of the 20th century, the speed (frequency) of information change at the cultural level has exceeded the speed (frequency) of generational change.

Thus, it is no longer enough for current generations to master a certain amount of information for their successful development; now everyone needs to constantly learn so as not to get lost in this ocean of information. That is why two types of people were clearly visible at the festival: thinking people who were consciously or unconsciously in search of methodologically significant information, and another type - people who came to “hang out” and idly spend their time, floating with the flow of life. The latter were the majority at the Festival, as, indeed, so far in our society.

People are also divided according to the type of civilization within which they developed. national culture. There are several regional civilizations on earth. Civilizations differ not in their way of life, not in “values,” but in Ideals: the difference is that “values” can be traded, but Ideals cannot be traded; a way of life can be imposed, but Ideals cannot be imposed. Based on the difference in Ideals, three self-sufficient regional civilizations can be distinguished - Western, Eastern and Russian.

Russia differs from many other countries in that it is not just a country, but an entire civilization, consisting of more than two hundred different small and large nations. The special path of development of our civilization attracts thinking foreigners like a magnet, some of whom came in the hope of finding something new for themselves. No wonder in the past Soviet Union for many other countries he was a guiding star burning in the night, and people have not forgotten it.

Actually, the very emergence of the USSR qualitatively changed the life of the entire planet, and those social successes that are today the everyday norm for us and most countries of the world were achieved not thanks to the so-called “democracy” of developed countries, but to real justice, which, despite all the hardships and hardships , was brought to life by the people of the USSR and representatives of the real Soviet government, which was on the side of the working people.

It is no secret that different regions of the planet are located on at different levels development. It is clear that the same Africa or a number of Asian countries, not satisfying the needs of the population, first of all, in quality education, as well as food, clothing, housing, find themselves at different levels of development with the inhabitants of Europe, Japan and Russia. Therefore, what seems to us to be a lag or a thing of yesterday, for them can be progress and the work of tomorrow in their regions.

There are alternatives - Japanese and Chinese projects, announced in 2006 and 2013 respectively, however Japanese project does not contain a fundamentally new sociology, psychology, economics and management theory that is different from biblical ones, and Chinese as such is not presented at all for public discussion. But they are not real alternatives precisely because the East does not offer society Ideals that the whole world could follow. But nevertheless, in the East there are prerequisites for this - we are talking, first of all, about Islamic culture. At their core, Islamic and Russian culture are similar, it is not for nothing that they coexist peacefully in Russia. It is not for nothing that the West invests huge amounts of money in supporting terrorism; the main goal is to discredit Islam and ban the Koran as a source of an alternative worldview to the biblical one.

GTU - project of the "Resource Center for the Development of Management Literacy"

The Islamic region is for Russia the most natural ally in the world, and among other Islamic countries is Iran, as one of the most educated Islamic powers with the prospect of entering a new concept of development.

RUSSIA

Since ancient times, Russian civilization has been distinguished by its ideal of justice from the life of other civilizations. It is for this reason that from the moment of baptism, which interrupted the original development of Rus', our entire history is a continuous struggle with the Western (biblical based on the usurious purchase of the world) concept imposed both from within by the authorities and by foreign invaders trying to introduce more modern and aggressive modifications from the outside. this concept. For more than a thousand years, Russian civilization has overcome the idealistic atheism of Orthodoxy and the materialistic atheism of Marxism. The attempt to impose liberalism was not successful, since even under Marxism people generally lived better and were confident in the future. Today society is in a state of conceptual uncertainty, and the possibilities of liberalism to fool people are practically exhausted. Moreover, the uniqueness of the moment lies in the fact that the people, in terms of understanding management processes, are becoming more literate than the “elite,” which has never happened in history.

Vladimir Putin faces the task of maintaining stability under the influence of an often aggressive external environment, inadequate internal governance of statehood and other public institutions, as well as internal changes occurring in society - irreversible process mastering management literacy and self-training of a new management personnel corps, which should make a leap into the future.

The complexity of the task lies in the fact that Life requires changes and improved quality of management, but the existing management architecture is not adapted to this. It is impossible to stabilize the situation, as many people dream of. Either we will have to present a new quality of management, or the winds of history will sweep away the existing “managers” like a house of cards.

The current state apparatus is not able to solve even the simplest problems - providing the population with the necessary education, medicine and satisfaction of other demographically determined needs. This was also evident at the festival, organized by Roscongress.

Notes in the margins about Roscongress

The Roscongress Foundation was established in 2007 with the aim of promoting the development of economic potential and strengthening the image of Russia through the organization and holding of congresses, exhibitions and public events. The Foundation forms their content, provides consulting, information and expert support to companies and organizations, and also comprehensively studies, analyzes and covers issues on the Russian and global economic agenda.

Today, the annual program of the Foundation includes events from Montevideo to Vladivostok, which allows you to gather world business leaders, experts, media, government officials on one platform, create the best conditions for discussing and promoting new ideas and projects, as well as assist in the formation of social entrepreneurship and charitable projects.

http://roscongress.org/o-fonde/

It should be noted that the number of participants was more than the declared 25,000, since 5,000 more foreigners came to the festival without invitations.

Roscongress (it seems not a sharashka) was unable to fully cope with the management in an emergency situation: there were queues for check-in, poorly organized food of poor quality in the first days (vegetarians generally had a hard time), queues for accreditation and problems with obtaining it, queues for receiving symbols, poor logistics (even the fact that they hired additional buses did not save us from queues for them), queues at checkpoints, and so on. However, despite the large number of unregistered participants who arrived, the forum organizers showed tact, understanding that this could lead to complications in diplomatic relations, and the participants were understanding (many Russian participants were placed second and third in single and double rooms, respectively). We were able to accommodate everyone. After some time, these memories of everyday inconveniences will be erased, and only the best will remain in memory - touch and participation in something big and significant for the entire planet. But were the organizers, through the Festival, able to present a New Global Agenda for the entire planet? Let's see who they are.

FESTIVAL ORGANIZERS

The quality of the organization is not surprising - since the festival itself is only a mirror of what is happening in the state.

The organizers of WFMS 2017 checked the readiness of the festival infrastructure

The main organizer of the festival on the Russian side is Sergei Kiriyenko. He went through Scientology and is known as a member of Shchedrovitsky’s circle of “methodologists”. The following is an excerpt from the article “The Shchedrovites: who shaped the worldview of Sergei Kiriyenko. Domestic policy Russia will be dealt with by methodologists. Carnegie.ru" with our inserts in the text.

Shchedrovites

Sergei Kiriyenko is a follower of the Russian philosopher Georgy Shchedrovitsky, founder of the Moscow Methodological Circle. Shchedrovitsky began his work in the late 1950s and continued it during the Khrushchev Thaw, Brezhnev's stagnation and Gorbachev's perestroika. Died in 1994.

Methodologists not only and not so much explained reality - they were determined to change the world around them, including society. Back in Soviet times, Shchedrovitsky’s circle conducted so-called organizational and activity games. Their participants were asked to formulate a problem (often arbitrary) and then solve it. Georgy Shchedrovitsky identified the most active players, gave them a chance to speak, and the participants had to defend their point of view and answer provocative questions. The result of the game was a scheme with a solution to the problem. It did not have an author - creativity was considered collective.

Our comment

According to the recollections of one of the circle participants, a representative of the “School of Effective Leaders” Valery Lebedev:

“We, through our own (??? - is something missing in the quote?) are preparing personnel. Not cadres (ugh, official party word), but members of the secret Masonic order, with their own ritual, charter and secret super task.

The strength of the SMD methodology (System-Thought-Activity), which Shchedrovitsky had long been developing, was schematization. That is, the representation of any social structure or process in the form of diagrams, blocks, figures and functional connections between them using arrows. Everything became very clear and understandable. Where, what block, who is connected to whom and how, where you need to enter to do this and that. (Bold by us when quoting)"

Let us present one of the keys to understanding what is happening in life, valid at any scale of consideration. There are two ways of thinking:

“think”, constructing sequences of states, each of which appears motionless, unchanging, like a frame of a film;

think in processes, i.e. It is speculative to see not only states that can actually be perceived as motionless at appropriate moments or short intervals of time, but the main thing is to see a process in which states arise in a certain sequence under the influence of a flow of cause-and-effect relationships, in which there is also a hierarchy of various kinds of controls.

That is why the “current moment” is incessantly current. But for those who think in states, what is significant in the phrase “current moment” is that it is a moment, an instant, and accordingly there is a certain immobility in it, and the word “current” is perceived as clarifying, of secondary importance, which can be forgotten without losing the main meaning.

This difference in ways of thinking is one of the criteria for the personnel policy of all orders that are stable in the continuity of generations. Those capable of thinking exclusively in states - can be useful for “orders” only as performers manipulated by these “orders”, who must be protected from manipulation by “orders”-competitors, since the set of states and their sequence, which explains for such “thinkers” the course of the process and its prospects - is asked by those who think in processes, and it is they who are manipulators in relation to thinking states, since they select certain instantaneous states from the process model and collect them into a sequence that is provided for understanding by the “thinking” sequence of states.

“Thinking” in sequences of states means putting the right hemisphere and imaginative thinking out of work; to think in processes means to develop the skill of coordinated work of the left and right hemispheres, ensuring the unity of process-shaped and discrete-logical thinking.

If we correlate this understanding of two types of thinking with the bold paragraph we highlighted in Lebedev’s quote, then SMD methodology is a manipulation methodology based on providing a set of states and connections-transitions between them, aimed at those who cannot think with processes. But what about the thinking of “methodologists”?

According to Shchedrovitsky, thinking is the highest authority. And people only “work” on its basis, just as computers work on the basis of an operating system or program; in this regard, they are rather passive. Language can be considered one such operating system. Thinking, according to Shchedrovitsky, is always primary in relation to knowledge and practice (in relation to reality):

“First, the means of human thinking must be developed, and then subject or objective knowledge, which is always a consequence of the method and means.”

In this regard, methodologists were interested in pedagogy.

“In the system of pedagogy there appears special specialty a teacher-designer developing a model-project of a person in the future society,” reasoned the founder of the Moscow Methodological Circle.

A person seemed to methodologists to be a kind of machine that can and should be programmed for certain functions. This was called "social engineering." Literary critic Ilya Kukulin finds commonality between the philosophy of Shchedrovitsky and the works of the Strugatsky brothers. In most of their novels, the main character is a “progressor” - a person thrown into the past or onto a planet lagging behind in development, who begins to slowly change the world around him.

The participants of the methodological circle (and Shchedrovitsky himself) were the same progressors. With the help of games, they infected others with their ideas - as a rule, these were managers, scientists, and teachers. They did not hide their desire to influence the decisions of the authorities. The circle was completely open; on the other hand, the special language (the program on which he worked) was understood only by initiates - in some ways, the followers of Georgy Shchedrovitsky resembled a secret society (sometimes direct discussions about the “conceptual elite” appear in their works).

“Civil society is divided into groups of professionals, each of which speaks and must speak its own special language, fenced off from amateurs and chatterboxes with a stockade... special terms. This is the law of life in a normal civilized society, and there is no need to strive for everyone to understand everything. The specialists who move things forward should understand, no more,” Shchedrovitsky himself explained the development of his own language.

It is possible that Shchedrovitsky’s followers played a role during the perestroika of the 1980s: by that time, thousands of people had gone through the games (more details: https://meduza.io/).

Now the opinion is being expressed that the concept of “sovereign democracy” and the “Russian World” is the creation of those who were taught by the “methodologist” and “game specialist” G.P. Shchedrovitsky (1929-1994).

Another proof of the lack of independence - the lack of sovereignty of the “order” of “game methodologists”: G.P. Shchedrovitsky was active in the period from the late 1950s. (main publications from the early 1960s) to 1994, but neither he nor any of his students and successors, based on “methodology,” identified in the global historical process the concept of managing globalization, which has been in effect for many centuries, and did not announce any alternative concept to it.

“The civilizational essence of Rus'-Russia and the Russian version of globalization”

This is an indicator that their “methodology” is a fake, an imitation of a truly workable methodology of cognition and creativity, the purpose of which is to “chatter the topic” and manipulate those who “think” about states and their sequences that others put into their psyche, but who do not shows himself in this kind of edited “films” for those manipulated by them - for the ambitious builders of “orders”.

Members of this circle-order can be characterized as liberal Trotskyists. That is, being essentially unidealized Trotskyists, they are able to adapt to any ideology - in the past Marxism, today - liberalism.

And on the international side, the organizers are already listed as Marxists-Trotskyists.

In general, it is clear that the conflict between two modifications of the Western (biblical) concept was caused initially, and therefore the liberal-bourgeois government would in no way provide an international platform for discussing problems of social justice, which is why the event was relegated to a low-grade event in the style Eurovision and Muz-TV, mixed with “Seliger” and “Territory of Meanings”.

But it would be difficult to expect a discussion of social justice on the merits from the Trotskyist-Marxist branch, since this contradicts the goal of preserving the crowd-“elite” structure of society, and in addition, the language of philosophy and political economy of Marxism is not suitable for identifying and solving problems of society.

"Resource Center for the Development of Management Literacy"

The very fact that the “left” festival is held with the money of capitalist corporations, such as Sberbank, Russian Railways, Norilsk Nickel, Renova ( full list: http://russia2017.com/) speaks for itself.

The so-called open discussions certainly did not represent a platform for open conversation and development of solutions to society’s problems with subsequent exit and proposal to the president and global structures, both due to their strict moderation and the fact that the participants for the most part were not ready to solve serious problems. problems. There was enough bread and circuses for the crowd - every day they brought various showmen, “celebrities” and politicians.

In principle, the festival did not differ from the description of the planet Tormans by Ivan Efremov in the novel “The Hour of the Bull”:

“Little attention was paid to the achievements of science, the display of art, historical finds and discoveries, which occupied the main place in earthly broadcasts, not to mention the news of the Great Ring, which was completely absent on Tormans. There were no planet-wide discussions of any changes in the social order, improvements or projects of large buildings, or organizations of major research. No one put forward any questions, posing them, as on Earth, before the Soviets or personally before any of the best minds of humanity.
Very little space was devoted to showing and discussing new problematic theater productions that attempted to capture the emerging turns and changes in public consciousness and personal virtues. Many films about the bloody past, the conquest (or rather, extermination) of nature and mass sports games took the most time. It seemed strange to the people of Earth how sports competitions could attract such a huge number of spectators not participating in the competitions, who for some reason became incredibly excited from contemplating the struggle of the athletes. Only later did the earthlings understand the essence of the matter. Sports competitions were attended by carefully selected people who devoted all their time to persistent and stupid training in their sports specialty. There was no place for everyone else in the competition. The physically and spiritually weak Thormancians, like little children, adored their outstanding athletes. It looked funny and even disgusting. Artists occupied a similar position. Out of millions of people, only a few were selected. They were provided with the best living conditions, the right to participate in any productions, films and concerts. Their names served as bait for many spectators who competed for seats in theaters, and these artists themselves, called “stars,” were subjected to the same naive deification as athletes. The position achieved by the “star” deprived her or him of any other activity. Apparently, no other person who managed to independently reach the heights of art, as on Earth, could act as an artist here. In general, the imprint of narrow professionalism lay on Tormans’s entire life, impoverishing people’s feelings and narrowing their horizons.
In television programs and radio information, a lot of attention was paid to a small group of people, their statements and trips, meetings and decisions. The name most often mentioned was Choyo Chagas, whose considerations different topics social life, especially the economy, aroused immoderate admiration and were praised as the highest statesmanship. Perhaps, far from the true insight of a genius covering the entire depth and breadth of the problem, the statements of Choyo Chagas were in some way very important for the inhabitants of Tormans? How could the aliens, hovering at an altitude of six thousand kilometers, judge this?..”

The youth who gathered at the festival were instructed not to say a word about politics or hot topics. That is, thereby these very young people were pushed away from solving the issues of the future to the “sidelines” of history. And really, who needs thinking youth? Navalny, Zhirinovsky, Zyuganov, Kiriyenko or other pseudo-managers?

IN RUSSIA THE CENTER IS ON THE PERIPHERY (V.O. KLYUCHEVSKY)

"Resource Center for the Development of Management Literacy"

The greatest interest at this exhibition was represented by Russian regions, which, although not all were represented - due to the insatiable appetites of the organizers (the bill amounted to millions of rubles) and their own disorganization, nevertheless made a serious contribution to the promotion of Russian culture.

"Resource Center for the Development of Management Literacy"

The stands of Russian regions mainly presented some national characteristics, folk art, some achievements of science and technology, famous personalities who came from the region, or were simply a gathering place for delegations.

There was a lot of VR (virtual reality) at the festival. Everyone had the opportunity to use virtual reality to walk through the cities of the Russian regions, try themselves as a pilot, or watch presentations of various projects.

OUR PROJECTS

We did not find any meaningful, ideological projects at the festival, so we would like to note the work of the team of the project “Resource Center for the Development of Management Literacy”, which was carried out on the basis of the site of the Leningrad region, within the framework of which an alternative globalization project - Russian - was presented. Also express gratitude to the representatives of regions and countries who provided support and worked together with the team at the site of the Leningrad region.

At the festival, the Resource Center team distributed a brochure that outlined the vision of global processes and the place of the Russian version of globalization in them. The brochure can be downloaded here: http://upravolenie.ru/

Its essence lies in the transition of global civilization to a culture of harmonious relationships between social groups and peoples based on the moral and ethical unity of all Mankind, as well as ensuring the life of human civilization in control of the biosphere of the Earth and Space. Thus, Humanity will move from the Era of a Disunited World into new era of its development - the Era of world reunification, as our great compatriot Ivan Antonovich Efremov wrote about it in the novel “The Hour of the Bull”.

All people of planet Earth must become accomplished people capable of ideas, that is, they must become carriers of such a structure of their psyche, in which behavior is volitionally subordinated to conscience. Mastery of dialectics as the art of identifying and resolving various types of uncertainties by asking leading questions will become mandatory. This requires a policy of universal education and protection of younger generations from corruption by the vices of historically established cultures.

The Resource Center team presented several projects: Educational Center of the Future, Ready for Work and Management!, Noopolis, Health-Saving Technologies, Information and Analytical Center and the New Youth Policy movement.

"Educational Center of the Future"

Today, in a rapidly changing information environment, the demand from society for obtaining managerially significant information (methodology) has sharply increased. For this reason, it is planned to launch a remote and full-time center with branches for training management and teaching personnel in the Leningrad region and the Republic of Dagestan. For details, see the brochure on the website: http://upravolenie.ru/2017/11/vfms-2017/

“Ready for work and management!”

As part of the project “Ready for work and management!” badges are issued to those who know the “Sufficiently General Theory of Management” and know how to apply it in practice.

Indeed, the country whose population masters the most universal theory of management and increases the level of management literacy will have maximum sovereignty and become a leader in the development of mankind.

"Resource Center for the Development of Management Literacy"

"Health-saving technologies"

Project for the promotion and implementation of health-preserving technologies in the education system, in the workplace and in everyday life by V.F. Bazarny.

The basis of this system is the translation of the ergonomics of the educational process in educational institutions, as well as a number of professions accompanied by immobility against the background of visual and neuropsychic stress, into a natural basis that provides the opportunity directly in the process of work to maintain small forms of physical activity, taking into account the requirements of the human body.

This is the only officially certified and truly effective system that preserves the health of schoolchildren during many years of study in limited space.

“Noopolis is a continuous city-territory of the future”

Noopolis is a continuous city - a biosphere shell of the Earth evenly developed by man, consisting of residential modules in which human activity is concentrated, and vast territories in which the prosperity of the planet's biocenoses is preserved or recreated. All modules are interconnected into a single transport, information and computing network. This will make it possible to make maximum use of their potential in economic, scientific and nature-forming activities.

"Information and Analytical Center"

The center analyzes problems and trends in the world, country and regions; development of solutions; information and educational activities; provision of various information, consulting, expert and social services.

Materials on a wide variety of topics are regularly published.

The center is open for cooperation with all citizens, interested structures and organizations. IAC website inance.ru

"New youth policy"

The movement unites the intellectual youth of Eurasia and the world. It opens up possibilities personal growth for the youth of the countries of the region. Organizing conferences round tables, meetings of young professionals, “New Youth Policy” helps deep integration of the cultures of the region.

The main thing, as we believe, is for the participants in the movement to systematically, gradually increase results and success in achieving these goals.

Movement website: newyouthpolicy.org

Interviews with festival participants about management

Our team conducted more than 70 interviews with festival participants in the form of a quick survey about management on the following five questions:

In your opinion, what is management?
How do you evaluate the phrase of Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Moiseev: “A scoundrel, a scoundrel, ... a careerist can sit at the top, but if he is an intelligent person, then a lot has already been forgiven him, because he will understand that what he does is needed by the country”?
Do you think everyone should be management literate?
Should Management Theory be introduced as a subject in school?
What would you wish for the youth of the future?

You can leave your answers to these questions in the survey at the link: https://docs.google.com/

Then we will compare the quality of responses from WFMS 2017 participants and our readers.

Leaders of Russia

The stand of the new project “Leaders of Russia” was presented at the festival. This is how they describe it on the website (leaders of Russia.rf):

“Leaders of Russia” is an open competition for leaders of the new generation. Challenge thousands of managers and join the community of leaders who will determine the future of Russia. Participation in the competition is free."

Why did another project in the field of personnel policy appear? What is this—a recognition of the lack of a holistic concept of personnel policy, confirmation that the “elite” is formed according to special rules, or a one-time project within the framework of the election campaign?

Any idea that provides opportunities for talented and competent people to rise to the top is a good idea. The problem is in the implementation. After all, there have already been personnel projects. There is also a “presidential thousand”, there is a “Professional team of the country”, etc. For last years We have heard more than once about the launch of new personnel projects. But as a result of their implementation, only a lot of questions arose, and not an actual personnel reserve.

As for the “Leaders of Russia” project, it is important that the winners of this personnel selection are truly high-quality managers and are in demand. So that personnel policy is governed not by nepotism and cronyism, but by professional competencies. They should receive as a result of this selection real places that they deserve. And so that everything does not turn into another “campaign” for the presidential elections.

Therefore, we consider it obligatory for all conscientious citizens who meet the formal selection criteria to apply for the competition and participate in it, if only to show those in power that the people have potential that needs to be harnessed, otherwise there will be no good in such power doesn't wait.

Apply for this competition on the leaderrossiya.rf website. The more of us, the better!

CONCLUSION

Thus, the festival did not become a useless event. In general, searching and thinking participants had the opportunity to find an alternative and become familiar with it when discrimination was present.

The World Festival of Youth and Students 2017 is an event on a planetary scale, the potential of which has not been fully exploited.

On the one side, for fear of appearing “different,” the organizers did not put forward any global agenda for this Festival, although they could not put forward one, since they do not have one. Russia was presented to festival participants as a technologically advanced country with many diverse regions, but nothing more.

On the other side, if we imagine for a second that such a global agenda would be presented at the festival, then the question arises of staffing its presentation for foreign participants. How many young people today can outline the contents of at least the article “The civilizational essence of Rus'-Russia and the Russian version of globalization”? How many people can do this in English?

On the website of our partners “New Youth Policy” there is a translation of this article “Russian Conception of Globalization - Sustainable Development of Humanity or another Alternative to Western Globalization? ", and there are only about 7 thousand views.

Question: Where is the footage that could show the world the New Global Agenda? They simply don't exist!

As part of the festival, about 800 people were familiarized with the “Ready for Labor and Management” project and a summary of the “Russian Globalization Project” (700 brochures were distributed and more than 100 conversations were held), which is no more than 3% of the total number of festival participants (30 thousand). In the country, the statistics may be a little bit better - 7-9% percent are covered by this information (among young people it’s a little higher - 10 percent). But, if you evaluate the ability to present the Russian version of globalization in other languages, then it is unlikely that even 1% of the Russian population will be able to do so.

In conditions of such a shortage of personnel and a lack of understanding among young people of the importance of management literacy issues, such small results are already an achievement.

These are the feelings and impressions we got from participating in the World Festival of Youth and Students 2017. The potential of the event is great, but not fully exploited. When will we have the Festival next? Maybe in 2037? It will be the centenary of the famous events of the mid-20th century.

What might be presented at such festivals in the future? The real future of humanity? Maybe, who knows...

We bring to your attention the full program of the XIX World Festival of Youth and Students, which will be held from October 14 to 22 in Moscow and Sochi.

Closing ceremony of the Festival of Youth and Students
On October 21, the closing ceremony of the XIX World Festival of Youth and Students took place. In fact, it consisted of two parts: first, the grand show “Russia” took place at Medals Plaza, introducing those gathered to the cultural diversity of the peoples inhabiting our country, and then the final performance took place at the Bolshoi Ice Palace, the main characters of which were the forum participants themselves. .

Vladimir Putin greeted those gathered at the Rossiya show. The President of the Russian Federation expressed hope that the festival week would benefit almost 30 thousand young people from all over the world. “I am sure that when you leave Russia, you will leave a piece of your heart here. But Russia will always remain in your heart,” he said. The head of state also noted the unusual energy of the festival, calling it “the energy of the young,” and thanked everyone who came to it. Concluding his speech, Vladimir Putin switched to English language: “Future starts here and now future is you.” All the best! (“The future begins here, and now the future is you. I wish you all the best!”). Then, amid chants of “thank you,” the President of Russia took a group photo with the participants of the celebration.

The leitmotif of the show “Russia” was the acquaintance of the participants of the WFMS 2017 with folk art The host countries of the festival are from Kamchatka to Kaliningrad. The most colorful groups of the country gathered at Medals Plaza, representing eight federal districts of the country. The presentation of the regions was stylized to resemble a photo application on a computer, queries in an Internet search engine, videos on YouTube video hosting, posts on in social networks Instagram and Twitter symbolized the fact that Russia lives in the age of high technology, but does not forget about its roots.

Together with the creative teams, the audience experienced a unique journey across Russia. The ensemble “Red Beads” from Khabarovsk and “Koritev” from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, the famous “Buranovskie Babushki” from the Volga region, the Russian Folk Choir named after. E. Popova and the dance ensemble "Rosinka", representing Central Russia, the drummer show "Extravaganza", embodying the traditions of the north-west of the country, beatboxer Eric Grigoryan and his team of drummers from the Ural Federal District, artists of the Chechen state ensemble "Vainakh" and the dance ensemble " Naltsuk" from Kabardino-Balkaria, who presented the North Caucasus, "Storytellers of Altai" and the Kuban Cossack Choir, which conveyed to the public all the flavor of the Southern Federal District. Honored Artist of Russia Zara summed up the musical costumed journey around the country with the song “My dear country is wide.” After this, the concert participants wished the audience to personally get acquainted with the geographical and cultural diversity of our country.

The “Russia” show was followed by the culmination of the evening and the entire Festival of Youth and Students. The closing ceremony called “Awakening” took place at the Bolshoi Ice Palace.

The President of the World Federation of Democratic Youth, Nicholas Papadimitriou, addressed the audience from the stage. “During these days we had the opportunity to learn lessons. During these days, progressive youth participated in a discussion program and events, exchanged experiences, beliefs and ideas. The success of the festival is not reflected in figures and facts - it can only be reflected in the meanings that young people can convey from Russia and from the festival to their countries,” said Papadimitriou. He also separately thanked the Russians, the organizers and Vladimir Putin personally for the work done.

Main actors The closing ceremony was attended by festival participants and... music is one of the main elements that unites people around the world. That is why, starting from the first seconds of the ceremony, a huge rock orchestra appeared on stage under the direction of Alexander and Nikita Pozdnyakov, consisting of festival participants. During the show, he performed world-famous hits in rock arrangements.

At the same time, the audience was also involved in this huge musical flash mob. The lyrics of the songs were displayed on the board, and the whole audience sang along with them. In addition, various tasks were displayed on the screens: people were asked to make a wave, freeze like a mannequin in a certain position, and also hug or kiss the person sitting next to them.

And yet, the main characters of the ceremony were the festival participants, who took turns on stage, read poetry and uttered warm and sincere words addressed to the guests, friends and festival organizers. “I feel that each of the participants wants to change the world for the better and achieve equality in the world. At this festival, I felt the unity, solidarity and kindness of young people from all over the world. We can say that youth made this festival for youth,” one of the participants of WFYS 2017, Enrique Dominguez from Brazil, addressed the audience. This is the youngest man who lost his sneakers at the festival. They were looked for literally by the whole world, presented at WFMS 2017, but were never found. However, a surprise awaited Enrique at the closing ceremony.

“During the week of the festival, we had one unpleasant story: Enrique, who had just performed on this stage, lost his sneakers. Everyone helped him look for them... Of course, we couldn’t let him leave the festival and are giving him a gift,” said Ksenia Razuvaeva, head of the Directorate for the preparation and holding of the festival, and handed the guest from Brazil a bag with new white sneakers.

Ksenia Razuvaeva also noted that UN volunteers took part in organizing the festival for the first time in the history of the movement. One of them, Shreya Bose from India, took the stage during the closing ceremony. “As one of five thousand Volunteers of the World, I can say with confidence that each of us put a piece of our soul into the work that we did together. It didn’t matter what role each of us played, everyone worried and rejoiced with you! We shared a variety of moments with you and are glad that we were able to benefit such a grand event,” she said.

The closing ceremony once again emphasized that if a person has a goal and a dream, then nothing will stop them from realizing them. At one point in the evening, WFYS 2017 participant from Chad Ndolegulum Jasrabe Hervé appeared on stage and performed the unofficial anthem of the festival. “The problem of modern technologies is acute in Chad; they are practically not integrated into life in the country. Therefore, young people often feel lonely and abandoned, and I decided to write this song so that people around the world will pay attention to us and perhaps support us. I was born into a poor family and set myself the goal of doing well in school because it was the only way for me to succeed and support my family,” Hervé said from the stage. Performing a song at the closing ceremony of the festival was Ndolegulum Jasrabe Hervé's dream, and now that dream has come true.

The closing ceremony ended with a colorful fireworks display consisting of four thousand volleys. After this, guests were treated to a disco at Medals Plaza.

“The number remains the same, as does the price - from 1,250 rubles for group stage matches. We had a meeting on categorization, all obligations must be met.

On October 20, at the XIX World Festival of Youth and Students, the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals of the international “Battle of Robots” were held. 18 teams from Russia, Brazil, India, Iran, Spain, Turkey and Australia competed for victory.
Each battle took place in a specially equipped ring, and was given 3 minutes. After that, experts assessed the damage suffered by the opposing teams. The robot was considered defeated if it stopped moving or if the number of points for the destruction inflicted on it exceeded the number of points of the enemy.
In the finals, teams from Kazan competed with the robot “Destructor”, Muscovites with the robot “Weber” and the Brazilian “Decepticon” with the original Russian nickname “Prostofilya”. The winner and holder of the cup and prize fund The Weber Robotics team from Moscow won 300 thousand rubles. The remaining finalists received 100 thousand rubles each.
The battle was attended by the First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration, head of the Russian organizing committee of the WFMS 2017 Sergei Kiriyenko and the head of Sberbank German Gref.
“I wasn’t standing at the robot’s control panel, but while a spectacular battle was going on in the ring, I fidgeted and tried to press non-existent buttons with my hands. One robot was terribly sorry, the second one tried to help - this suggests that this is an amazingly exciting event. I would like to say thank you to the organizers of the battle, the Promobot company, and the employees of Sberbank, who put a lot of effort into making a real spectacle take place, which evokes emotions in all of us,” German Gref shared his impressions.
Sergei Kiriyenko noted that “Battle of Robots” is only partly a game, but otherwise it is serious work on creating new technologies: after all, behind the creation of each “fighter” there is a lot of work by its designers. “It would be very cool if the only conflicts that remained in our world were robot battles like this,” Kiriyenko expressed hope.
