Dr. Kozhokin emphasized that despite the pandemic all the goals for the development of the University's information policy had been timely and successfully implemented.
“The task was to actively work with the governing bodies, students and applicants, as well as to maintain the policy of promoting RSUH. The tasks that were set by the Academic Council at the beginning of 2020, including quantitative indicators, had been completed. There hasn’t been a single glitch in the work of the website,” Vice-Rector noted.
Plans for 2021 include the creation of a unified Admissions Web section, the development of a centralized Admissions database, as well as the creation of a "USE calculator". It is also planned to open RSUH channel on Yandex Zen and increase the presence of online academic content.

Dr. Nadezhda Arkhipova, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs, proposed to nominate the educational module "Historical and documentary heritage of the Great Patriotic War: methods of searching, identifying and researching personal documents" and its team of authors (Dr. Bezborodov, Dr. Pavlenko, Dr. Taratorkin and Dr. Khorkhordin) for the award of the Russian government in the field of education.
The module contains a methodology for working with home archives of participants in the War. The priority is cooperation with the community of school history teachers and students, with whom, based on the methodological recommendations developed at RSUH, one can conduct seminars and training sessions on the subject of search and description of the personal archives of the participants of the Great Patriotic War.
“This will allow us to investigate more specifically the human dimension of the history of the War and reveal the diversity of life situations of combatants,” stressed Dr. Arkhipova.
The module has been used for several years at the Department of Archives and Records Management of the University.
First Vice-Rector Olga Pavlenko noted that undergraduates and graduate students of the Institute of History and Archives took part in the project, having conducted research in 19 archives.
