OREANDA-NEWS. October 05, 2011. For the 21st FBK anniversary an FBK classroom appeared at Economic Department of Moscow State University. A plate saying “The classroom is equipped by company FBK” appeared on the classroom 459 at the beginning of the new study year, reported the press-centre of FBK.

According to FBK HR Director, Sergey Kostakov, personalized classrooms of market leaders are common practice at Moscow State University Economic Department. The companies equip classrooms where their future employees also study. “In a way this can be called advertizing, however our plans are much more extensive. We plan to be engaged in the study process of Economic Department, to deliver seminars for students and to interact otherwise. This is what we negotiate about with the department’s management”, Sergey Kostakov told.

Opening the FBK classroom at Moscow State University is not arbitrary — FBK owes its inception to the Moscow State University Economic Department. FBK founders and irreplaceable leaders, Sergey Shapiguzov and Elena Proskurnya, after graduating from the Economic Department taught there at Accounting and Business Analysis Chamber. Sergey Pyatenko, General Director of FBK Economic and Law School and Igor Nikolaev, Director of FBK Strategic Analysis Department are among many other FBK employees who graduated from the MSU Economic Department.
