—What was the Victory budget in 1941-1945?, told associate professor of the Department of Statistics Lidiya Parshintseva. She noted that the country’s budget in the pre-war years was quite stable, but the start of military actions led to a sharp increase in expenditures and a reduction in revenues. “After the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, the main task became the prompt provision of the front and the uninterrupted work of the rear. In fact, in the first year of military operations, the People’s Commissariat of Finance had to change not individual budget items, but the entire principle of its execution,” the expert summarized.
—About the Celebration of Victory in May 1945reminded associate professor of the Department of Theory and Organization of Management Yulia Nadezhina. “She conveyed the atmosphere of general rejoicing on the occasion of Victory Day, newspaper Sovetskaya Sibir: “Here and there a song bursts out, a circle opens for a lively Russian dance. The people who know how to work and win also know how to rejoice – joyfully, freely, widely. And when through spring fog the sun peeks out for a minute, the whole square responds with thousands of bright colors, smiling faces, radiant eyes. Victory Day, a day of nationwide celebration!” — cited an example the historian.
—What is reasonable to save on when preparing for a wedding in 2026,explained Associate Professor of the Department of World Economy and International Economic Relations Valeria Ivanova. The expert noted that “a wedding in 2026 is a balance between traditions and new trends, between reason and awareness. The key principle: invest in what creates emotions and remains in memory, and optimize expenses on secondary details. This approach will allow you to hold the dream celebration without damaging the family budget.”
—What are donations and how to get rich on them, was analyzed by the senior lecturer of the Department of State and Municipal Administration Marina Polyakova. The economist noted that turning audience loyalty into income requires a systematic approach: unique regular content, active communication with subscribers, the use of various platforms, and a clear definition of the collection goal.
—How to recover a debt without a receipt, explained Marina Polyakova. According to the expert, there are four main ways: pre-trial conflict resolution, an official written claim, contacting the police, and filing a lawsuit. In any case, it is necessary to have alternative evidence of the presence of this debt.
—Will oil prices return to their previous levels?, answered Associate Professor Maksim Chirkov of the Department of Economic Policy and Economic Dimensions. According to the expert, at the moment it is impossible for oil prices to return to the indicators of early March 2026, since the oil market does not believe in the resolution of the conflict between the USA and Iran: the positions of the countries differ too much to establish a long-term truce.
—The emergence of the trend of “digital asceticism” among zoomersexplained senior lecturer of the marketing department Petr Tazov. According to him, among generation Z key values are self-realization, freedom, autonomy, and a sense of internal boundaries. If young people see that some habit harms their condition, social trends recede into the background. And the new trend is not just a viral hype, but a logical reaction of a tired generation.
—Growth of the popularity of postgraduate studies among SumeriansCommented Petr Tazov. “Modern youth understands that education is an investment in their social capital, a certain investment in the future, in their competitiveness. Hence there is also an interest in MBA programs among young people,” said the expert.
—How yoga helps in life, said Associate Professor of the Department of Physical Culture Irina Kabanova. “With regularly and competently structured yoga practice, the level of stress and anxiety noticeably decreases, sleep quality improves, pain disappears, strength and self-confidence appear. Over time, eating habits and usual reactions to life situations may change,” the expert noted.
—Products capable of provoking cancer, named by Associate Professor of the Department of Physical Education Irina Merkulova. The nutritionist warned that the danger lies in trans fats, as well as sugar and excess salt in meat products. She advised focusing on a varied diet with a large amount of whole foods and vegetables, rather than demonizing individual ingredients.
—What danger does the fire in the Chernobyl NPP exclusion zone pose, answered Professor Vladimir Linnik, head of the Department of Economics and Management at TEK. The expert reassured that the forest fire cannot affect the increase in the radioactive background, since the 4th power unit of the AES is reliably covered by a sarcophagus. However, radioactive fallout, which has settled throughout the exclusion zone, can be spread by smoke from the fire.
