"Principally different conditions await the man of the future": a student of the Russian State Social University spoke about the results of the Open Dialogue at SPIEF'25

---

Elizaveta Romanova, a student of the Russian State Social University, took part in the session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum "Shaping a New Platform for Global Growth" on June 18, organized by the National Centre RUSSIA.

According to her, participation in the Open Dialogue held by the National Centre RUSSIA and SPIEF gave her a unique opportunity to exchange her experience with colleagues and receive support for her work from recognized world experts.

Earlier, Elizaveta Romanova was a speaker at the final session of the Open Dialogue at the National Centre RUSSIA as an author of one of the best essays. The student's work was written as part of the track "Investing in a Person" and is about creating a barrier-free environment and an inclusive mentality in Russia. The topic of human centricity found its continuation at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, Elizaveta Romanova emphasized.

"For me, the man of the future is the same person as he is now, but raised in different conditions than we are. Each generation will be a new one, and therefore the man of the future will remain a man. The only thing that will change is his worldview, because the world will already be different. He will be what he is, and we are all individuals. We cannot say that everything will be perfect in the future. Also, we cannot say that it will be bad. We only know that the future will be. And when it comes, we will already see the man of the future as a man of the present, and will be able to tell if this person is kind, evil, or, like all of us, an ordinary person," Elizaveta Romanova said at the forum.

SPIEF'25 takes place in St. Petersburg from 18 to 21 June. The session "Shaping a new Platform for Global Growth" was organized at the Forum by the National Centre RUSSIA. It formed the basis for the key tracks of the SPIEF'25 business program. The session was moderated by Maxim Oreshkin, Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation.

At the session of the National Centre RUSSIA, among other things, there was discussed a report of the results of the Open Dialogue, prepared by the Centre for Interdisciplinary Expertise "Third Rome". The recording of the session broadcast is available on the website of the National Centre RUSSIA.
