I see that intense backroom lobbying efforts do win out in the end.

WHERE'S THE OFF BUTTON?!?!

I dont know if anything like this exists where you are but for my engineering Masters we studied two years of general engineering where we learnt the basics of Civil, Electrical, Electronic, Mechanical et al. The next two years were then spent specialising in your chosen area.
This was perfect for me as I didnt know what branch to take and I have always been a bit of a generalist. If I hadnt had this option I would of taken electronics which I subsequently hated.
The only disadvantage is that it the course is aimed at creating 'Managing Engineers'. If you want to be an out and out specialist work you are probably still better going for a dedicated branch.
Whatever you decide Engineering is a great degree.

In our education system, we don't qualify for the master's degree unless we get the bachelor's degree in the relevant branch first.

In Russia, specialization chooses
you.
So you couldn't get a master's in Electronic Engineering unless you had a bachelor's in EE first?
The fact that you are asking for guidance here argues that you need to explore the various fields before choosing. Unless you are locked into whatever major you choose as a freshman I wouldn't worry about it too much right now. Find out what interests you then declare that. If you absolutely have to pick a concentration now choose engineering physics. It's an engineering field, but it's cross-discipline, so you'll get exposure to a variety of subjects.
