Dear Arkady Aronovich!
Happy Birthday!
The numbers that appear this time testify to the maturity and significance of the work you do. But today I would assess these achievements with a different number, one that suits you better. That number is 30.
That's exactly how long we have been building our University together. For exactly that many years, it has been about "deeds," not "trifles." From a small college has grown a powerful university – a University for caring people.
Now you are the helmsman of this wonderful Ship. And for the "fives" to give way to "zeros," and the "zeros" to "fives," you need health and stability. Health depends on you and a little on doctors. And stability depends on the combined efforts of yours and all those around you.
The University is with you!
Happy Birthday!
Vitaly Rubtsov, President of MSUPE

Dear Arkady Aronovich!
Although its history is not very long, it is a glorious one. A highly professional teaching staff and the implementation of advanced educational technologies have allowed the university to take a worthy place among Russian universities. Our university develops under your leadership – wise, sensitive, appropriately strict, but always fair. Largely thanks to your strong character, deep knowledge, and professionalism, our university has for many years maintained the high standard of being the country's leading psychological university.
We rejoice together in the university's successes and the merits of its staff and students, but we also go through difficult times together. And it is precisely in such times that a person's character, their fortitude, and their ability to make the right decisions are tested. Years of work as rector have demonstrated your best qualities: composure, focus on results, and a desire to do any job as well as possible – and even better.
Our university is your Destiny, and we are happy and proud to live this destiny side by side with you.
We thank you for this opportunity and congratulate you on your Anniversary!
May every day be filled with new discoveries, and may scientific successes and accomplishments bring joy. It is you, by implementing modern educational technologies and preserving glorious traditions, who set the high standard of quality in training a new generation of specialists equipped with advanced knowledge, capable of taking responsibility and making important decisions.
Health and Prosperity for many years!
The faculty of "Social Communications" values your openness and readiness to help in any situation and to defend the university's interests.

Dear Arkady Aronovich!
Birthday is always such an ambivalent holiday. On one hand, it is tinged with a slight sadness – a longing for the past, for the years gone by that are hard to retrieve. On the other hand, it is hope for something better, for great achievements, for the joy of communication, enjoyment of life, and, of course, happiness.
I would like to wish Arkady Aronovich to look to the future with a positive outlook, to remain true to the chosen professional path, to confidently solve the tasks set, to cope with life's troubles, and to experience only positive emotions!
Dmitry Deulin, Dean of the Faculty of "Extreme Psychology"

Dear Arkady Aronovich, please accept my congratulations on your anniversary!
The unique approach to training educational psychologists – activity-based, practice-oriented, modular – was established by you within the walls of our university and is now being implemented far beyond them. It has become one of the examples of embodying the idea of cultural-historical psychology, about the "cell," the unit of development, which fully unfolds in student learning and faculty activity at universities. May your ideas continue to create a zone of proximal development for us and our students.
Respectfully,
Maria Safronova, Dean of the Faculty of "Educational Psychology," Head of the "Priority-2030" Development Program at MSUPE

We wish you inexhaustible inspiration, strong health, vitality, and heartfelt warmth. May you always be surrounded by reliable people, and may your endeavors be accompanied by stability, well-being, and deserved recognition. May there be many more bright achievements, joyful events, and reasons for pride ahead.

We congratulate Arkady Aronovich Margolis on his anniversary!
For us, this is a special date because behind it lie years of joint work, in which the university's strategy was constantly confirmed by practice: the quality of scientific journals, books, the development of digital academic services, and a sustainable culture of professional communication. Your attitude towards scientific texts – as tools for thinking and responsibility – sets a standard not only for managerial decisions but also for the university's communication with the scientific community.
We are grateful to you for supporting the publishing and informational initiatives of MSUPE – and for ensuring that the development of the university's strategic projects always remained not a "technical task," but part of a larger agenda: strengthening the university's scientific brand and expanding the space for academic dialogue.
They say that "superintelligence," according to some forecasts, could become a reality after 2030 – and, admittedly, such horizons are impressive. But for the university, what is more important is not the myth about future intelligence, but the existing reality. We are lucky: all these years, a person has been working alongside us whose intellectual energy, speed in formulating questions, and precision of argumentation have long set a high standard – in science, in management, and on the human scale of university life.
We wish you health, creative uplift, interest in new tasks, and an unwavering ability to turn complex goals into achievable solutions – and to make the results clear and convincing for the professional community!
With respect,
The teams of the Department of Information and Publishing Projects and the Fundamental Library,
Anna Alexandrovna Shvedovskaya, Head of Department,
