The university held a meeting with the former governor of the Sverdlovsk region

Today Eduard Rossel, the former Governor of the Sverdlovsk region, gave a lecture to the students of the Ural Institute of Humanities on the formation and trials of the first governor of the region. The event was part of the "Leaders by Leaders" project, which regularly brings together students and professors of the Ural Institute of Humanities with outstanding personalities from various areas.

Rossel spoke about the factors that shaped his character as a manager of "one of the most difficult areas in the country," as the speaker himself noted.

"The first election was the most difficult. There was a lot of mistrust on the part of the voters. I tried to talk as much as I could, to answer questions. I tried to answer every single question. If you did not answer at least one question, consider yourself defeated," he said.

After the lecture, the students asked the ex-governor about the history of the Ural Republic, the relationship between the regional and city authorities, the development of the region, and his career aspirations in an open mic format.

"I would like to give you a piece of advice: do not skip any step in your career. This is very important for you to be able to understand all the processes in the future as a leader," Eduard Rossel noted.

Student support was also discussed by Rossel.

"I once decided to create a governor's scholarship to support talented, outstanding students. In 10 years, I have collected scholarship recipients, and most of them are Doctors of Science, professors, established in life," he added.

The speaker concluded by urging the students to study hard, set goals, and work every day to achieve them.
