Ruslan Aminov studies at Bashkir Boarding Lyceum No. 3 in Sterlitamak. This institution is a talent forge. A year ago, UFA1.RU reported about Dinis Gizatullin, who scored 99 points on the Unified State Exam, and after an appeal — 100. He is also a student of BLI No. 3, and now studies at Moscow State University at the Faculty of Chemistry.
The student visited Moscow State University, likely as a future place of study.

Ruslan Aminov still has everything ahead, but he has already shown serious results: in March 2024, he became a prize-winner of the «Lomonosov Readings» held among schoolchildren from all over Russia.
In the same year, the boy distinguished himself within the lyceum at the Mathematics Olympiad — he took second place.
In 2025, Ruslan, as an 8th-grade student, became a prize-winner in economics at the regional stage of the All-Russian School Olympiad.
In 2026, the boy showed himself at the very Olympiad — he passed three rounds and was selected from among 70 winners and prize-winners of the final stage. In the individual standings, Ruslan achieved 7th place. In the third round, his competition was already 23 people.
«The guys were divided into 4 teams of 6 people. They had to solve a Harvard Business School business case in 2 hours and defend it before experts. All trials were conducted strictly in English,» BLI No. 3 reported.
As a result, a student from Sterlitamak became one of five Russians who earned the right to go to China for the international competition.
And so, in mid-July 2026, the 9th International Economics Olympiad (IEO-2026) was held in China, with the participation of the strongest students from 62 countries: Cyprus, Rwanda, Australia, Turkey, Japan, Great Britain, Spain, Poland, China, USA, and others.
There Ruslan Aminov won silver.
«Russia was represented by a team of five guys who brought five awards to the team«s tally — three bronze and two silver medals. We are proud that one of them — this outstanding result of our Sterlitamak boy,» wrote the head of Bashkiria.
He also conveyed gratitude to Ruslan Gabdrakhmanov — his mentor.
