The Higher School of Management at PSU became one of the official venues for the largest international event, “History Test: Lessons of World War II.”

The project is being carried out by the Russian Military Historical Society as part of the “Great History” program and is dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory and Heroes of the Fatherland Day.

Students answered questions about key events of World War II: significant battles, historical figures, political decisions, and people's lives during the war. The campaign is aimed not only at testing knowledge, but also at increasing young people's interest in studying historical heritage.

The event was opened by the director of the Higher School of Management, Professor V.P. Ermakov, who emphasized the importance of student participation in such initiatives. The moderator of the platform, Associate Professor E.S. Getmanova, noted the role of historical memory in the development of society, and Associate Professor S.K. Osipov reminded that preserving the truth about the war is a contribution to a peaceful future.
