On September 4, the RSUH 2015 Student Initiation Ceremony was held. The holiday was organized by the Student Affairs Department.
The opening of the annual ceremony traditionally took place in the courtyard of the RSUH. The first-year students were greeted by the university's mascot Griffon Grisha. While freshmen from different faculties were gathering in front of the stage, representatives of the Russian State University for the Humanities in cheerleading spoke to them "CHERRY". The next number was the performance of the show-drummers "Emotion", which opened the official part of the Initiation into freshmen. The hosts of the ceremony, David Minasyan and Kristina Smirnova, welcomed the first-year students and representatives of the faculties and other departments of the Russian State University for the Humanities.
Rector of the Russian State Humanitarian University, Corresponding Member RAS E. I. Pivovar could not attend the ceremony, as he was on a business trip to China to celebrate the anniversary of the end of World War II as part of the Russian delegation, but he greeted the assembled first-year students in a video message. He congratulated those present on entering one of the best universities in the country.
In order to continue the Ceremony and pass on the “fire of knowledge” to the first-year students, the hosts invited an outstanding humanist - linguist, semiotician, anthropologist, the largest representative of world science, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, director of the Russian Anthropological School of the Russian State Humanitarian University, Professor Vyacheslav Vsevolodovich Ivanov. He addressed the assembled students with a welcoming speech, expressing the hope that the current first-year students will retain their determination in the future. Addressing the students, Vyacheslav Vsevolodovich reminded them of the responsibility that lies with every young person.
Following the tradition of initiation into students, V.V. Ivanov gave two first-year students who scored the highest score in the Unified State Examination the “fire of knowledge”. First-year students of the Russian State University for the Humanities performed the traditional student anthem "Gaudeamus". After accepting the "fire of knowledge", the best first-year students had the honor of releasing a balloon with the symbols of the Russian State Humanitarian University into the sky, after which the flag of the university was raised. The final note of the first part of the ceremony was the festive fireworks. Colorful photos with the hashtags #RGGU, #yastudentrgu immediately appeared on social networks.
The celebration continued in the Central Auditorium, where the Office of Student Affairs organized a concert of laureates of the 7 NOT Talent Festival especially for freshmen.
Before the start of the concert, the first-year students were congratulated by the vice-rector for academic work, director of the IAI RSUH A.B. Bezborodov, who wished the audience never to stop on the chosen path.
Opening the concert, the head of the Student Affairs Department I.R. Bolkvadze recalled that from that moment on, all first-year students are members of one big, friendly family. He also announced the action "Parade of Russian students-2015", in which he invited everyone to participate.
The laureates of the Seven Notes Talent Festival of the Russian State Humanitarian University performed their best numbers, giving the first-year students a real holiday. Another surprise from the Office of Student Affairs was the lottery, during which commemorative prizes were raffled - sets of souvenirs with the symbols of the university.
In the evening, in the courtyard, the concert program for freshmen and all comers was continued by the Rock Festival, which has been held for the second year at the Russian State University for the Humanities on the day of initiation into students. Despite the bad forecasts, the weather was great and the concert went off without a hitch. Both familiar and completely new bands played on the stage.
Congratulations to freshmen with dedication to students and
We wish you fruitful academic and extracurricular life at RSUH!!!
The Terrible Truth of Initiations
to students
September is a special month for first-year students. Most of them are waiting for initiation - a symbolic rite, usually more like a regular drinking party. For some, the dedication ends with new acquaintances and pleasant memories, but more often the result is shame and a desire to transfer to another university. The rector of the Moscow Institute of Contemporary Art even had to quit after the initiation, during which a group of students got poisoned by alcohol. To get to the bottom of the situation, the BOS has collected crazy stories from dedications and other student celebrations.

In general, initiations pass separately by faculties, I don’t know exactly when anyone. But usually they start on September 20 and continue until November 30. Most often, everything takes place on campus itself or in a hostel. On the territory of the university there is something like a local club, where a concert is held first, and then a party and booze.
There are no special traditions of initiation: senior students ****** first-class students drink books, yell obscene chants about other faculties.
Some faculties even arrange alcohol quests. It's cool that there are ten dedications and they are on different days, that is, go and drink when you want and with whom you want. Usually on Fridays, sometimes on Saturdays.
But the dedications are not as fun as Physicist's Day. After the concert on Physics Day, we start to have a real trash. Firstly, all this action lasts three or four days, some are delayed even longer. About 500 people gather on the main square, and some kind of ****** is going on there. After this party, it felt as if it was not a celebration of the Day of the Physicist, but clashes with the police. And so for three days. Everyone drinks everywhere, some contests, events. There is even an annual rock-paper-scissors competition where they give away an iPod.

The dedication takes place at the Metallurg Stadium near Baumanka. The last time there was gathered here, it seems to me, about a thousand people. A thousand drunk techies.
Even the police during the initiation bypass this place, because how can they detain such a mob?
From trash, probably, everything is standard: someone drank too much and vomited everything, someone was taken away in an ambulance. In principle, this is already the norm. I don't know about traditions. Usually they force the group to drink a tube of vodka, but I didn’t have this in my first year. Of course, graduate students celebrate their graduation more cheerfully: they bathe in fountains, ride on basins, douse themselves with beer and burn fireworks. Not far from the fans left, in general.

Usually, after the official part of the dedication in the courtyard of the university, everything continues in the Miussky Park, where the undergraduates try to drive as many people as possible. My dedication was really cool: firstly, there were a lot of people, and secondly, it was really fun. In subsequent years, everything was no longer so large-scale and organized. Then, each faculty arranges something different for its first students, but this is already a more secluded and, probably, civilized celebration. Usually the older ones get the younger ones drunk, and that's all.
It was tough when one guy weighing 50 kg drank so much that he passed out. He was laid down on a bench, which he vomited, and then taken away in an ambulance. Then, by the way, I saw him at the university only two times.

I did not go to my student initiation in my first year, having decided that drinking with a bunch of strangers in the park was not for me, but a little later I went to drink with a bunch of strangers in a cottage. I got to a student party, which I now consider my dedication. It all started quite calmly: there were about 20 friends of the birthday boy and guys from the university. Everyone drank, smoked something, listened to music and talked. But this did not last long: at some point there were no longer 20 people in the house, but 40, then 50, and, it seems to me, as a result, about a hundred students visited this unfortunate cottage overnight. The fence was crowded with incomprehensible people who wanted to get inside. Some even climbed over the fence. More and more unfamiliar characters appeared who claimed that they had come not for a birthday, but for the dedication of their university. In general, as a result, the house was smashed to hell, and a third of those present were robbed. Some Caucasians got into a fight with some basketball players, and it came almost to a stabbing. Then the table caught fire due to spilled alcohol, and I had to hide in the toilet from a crazy guy who pestered me with the words: “I am a man, you are a woman, we should have sex.”
In the morning everything was in fragments, blood, alcohol and vomit. The holiday was a success.

When I was in my freshman year, no one was doing anything for us, so I decided that I needed to start this cool freshman dedication tradition. Usually we rent a cottage for the guys from our faculty, buy alcohol and food and arrange a celebration. By the way, I don’t drink on dedications, because then these children need to be pumped out if something happens. In fact, now the pervaks are not the same anymore. Too crazy: as if they spent 18 years in prison and such a party is the only opportunity to have fun. The funniest thing I remember was when one of the pervaks brought with him an exchange student from some African state, or something, and he was so swollen that by morning he looked like a zombie. And when he left his room, he caught the eye of a stoned guy who started yelling at the whole house: “Dudes, we have Ebola! We all will die!" I spent half that night locked in a room with a girl - our door was jammed. But instead of having a useful time, we chatted about some *** not.
RUDN University

My initiation into students took place in a rented cottage. The guys from the senior years gave us this unforgettable party (it would be better if I forgot). Firstly, it is RUDN University, multinationality and all that. Secondly, those with whom I managed to make friends were not allowed by my parents, so I, one might say, went to a party surrounded by strangers. Everything went, probably, like at all such events: they drank a lot, talked, arranged some kind of competitions. But I, apparently, out of inexperience, got drunk just in the trash.
I woke up next to the toilet right on the floor. No one even carried me to the couch!
Anyway, before the sad end of the evening, I managed to fight with one girl who said something unpleasant about me. And I was already very drunk, on emotions, well, I splashed my whiskey and cola in her face. The blow was not long in coming, and, in general, we bumped a little. The next morning I was unbearably ashamed, I even thought about transferring to another university. But the good thing is, somehow, everything was hushed up. Probably, the girl from the stream, who flew into the consecration, overshadowed my story.
On September 7, 2018, a solemn ceremony of initiation into students took place in the courtyard of the Russian State University for the Humanities.
By tradition, the ceremony began with a performance by the ensemble of drummers "Moskvichki". Then, acting rector A.B. Bezborodov.
“Dear friends, dear students, parents, everyone who is present today on this wonderful university square, I greet you with all my heart,” Alexander Borisovich said. - I would very much like your years of study at our university, all your subsequent life after receiving a higher education, to be happy here, in our homeland, in Russia. And if outside it, then with the thought of Russia and then returning to their native land.
Once again, the best of the best entered the Russian State University for the Humanities. Today, the university is one of the five leading liberal arts universities in the country, has extensive international contacts, and this gives a global dimension to your act, your decision to link your fate with the Russian State University for the Humanities. I am sure you have noticed a significant variety of bachelor's and master's programs, of which there are more than a hundred. This ensures and guarantees each of you social and professional mobility within the university and in the external environment. Our graduates are provided with ample opportunities to move along social elevators, the freedom to choose their future profession and many other academic freedoms. It is difficult to say where the student is more professional - in the classroom or outside it. Let me just say that the university takes an active part in volunteer movements, and you will see for yourself.
Young people from your environment have essentially become members of our team. We rely on them, trust them, love them and hope that they will bear the proud name of a graduate of the Russian State University for the Humanities for many years to come. Congratulations on your admission to the Russian State University for the Humanities!”.
Further, the students were greeted by the President of the Russian State University for the Humanities E.I. Brewer. “Dear first-year students of the bachelor’s degree, first-year students of the master’s program, freshmen of our college, schoolchildren of our Pre-University,” said Efim Iosifovich, “let’s congratulate all of us together that you are starting a new life today in a new capacity at the Russian State University for the Humanities!
Student time is one of the happiest periods, and we, teachers and staff of the university, will do our best to make it so. But a lot also depends on you. Time is fleeting. I advise you to have time to get the most out of the program you have chosen, from the student life in which you will be included, from everything that happens in Moscow and in Russia.
Let me wish you as much luck as possible! I would like you to gain full knowledge, make friends here for life, and subsequently commemorate the years that you spent at the Russian State University for the Humanities with kind words. I congratulate you and wish you success!”
Irakly Revazovich Bolkvadze, Vice-Rector for Social and Educational Work with Students of the Russian State Humanitarian University, also addressed the first-year students with a welcoming speech.
Participants of the Theater Club of the Russian State University for the Humanities performed a small performance. Then Alexander Borisovich Bezborodov was again invited to the stage for the solemn transfer of the Fire of Knowledge. To the sound of the student anthem Gaudeamus, freshmen raised the Flag of the Russian State Humanitarian University and released the Ball of Desires into the sky, and fireworks showered the square with colorful garlands and confetti.
The student initiation ceremony continued in the Central Auditorium. Vice-Rector for Social and Educational Work with Students of the RSUH Irakli Revazovich Bolkvadze again congratulated the first-year students, after which a festive concert of winners and finalists of the RSUH Talent Festival “Seven Notes” took place, as well as a student lottery.
