Zuzik was invited from Leningrad by Academician A.N. Kostyakov who was a supporter of teaching concrete, profile oriented Economics, instead of general propositions of Political Economy with which the course was usually saturated.   From 1974 under the initiative of D.T. Zuzik the preparation of engineers-economists started and in 1976 the department "Economics of water economy" was founded. Head of the department was D.T. Zuzik and it employed 8 lecturers.   In 1979 the department "Water Economy Management" was formed from a number of staff of "Economics of Water Economy".   From 1980 to 1986 the department of Economics of Water Economy was led by Docent, Dr. V.E. Vedenyapin, and from 1987 it has been led by Professor, Dr. K.P. Arent.   From 1994 the department initiated the preparation of students on the specialty of "Economics and Management of enterprises using natural resources" which is currently offered by 20 tertiary institutions of Russia.
