Economist Day is celebrated in Russia on November 11. The date of the holiday was approved by the order of the Russian Ministry of Economic Development 8 years ago in honour of the founding in 1765 by Empress Catherine II of the Free Economic Society of Russia.

On this day, an interview with Professor of the Department of Economics Theory and National Economy Georgii Cheremisinov was published in the Research City section of the web-site.

The Accuracy and Calculation article is dedicated to the professional training of economists at Saratov State University and current economic trends.

Today, the Faculty of Economics, SSU, includes three departments – Economics Theory and National Economy, Management and Marketing, and Finance and Credit. It trains students in five bachelor's degree and seven master's degree courses.

‘Economics is translated from Greek into Russian as the household management book. Therefore, almost every person engaged in economics in adulthood is an economist. Therefore, this holiday can be considered nationwide,’ Georgii Cheremisinov stated.

In the interview, you can find the answers to the questions about how the holiday is celebrated at the Faculty of Economics, SSU, what the faculty is famous for, how the practical training of students is organised, where economists-to-be find jobs, etc. Read the full version of the interview here.
