A training exercise codenamed "Polytechnic Shield 2025" was held at the Polytechnic University's international campus at 28 Grazhdansky Prospekt. Its goal was to practice staff responses in the event of an emergency or terrorist attack.
The first stage of the training included a situation involving the detection and defusal of an improvised explosive device.
According to the legend, the attacker, acting on orders from the intelligence services of a hostile country, infiltrated the campus of the university's Graduate School of International Educational Programs. While attempting to gain entry to Building No. 16, he encountered a security guard, changed his plan, and planted an improvised explosive device near the service entrance to the cafeteria. He then retreated to a safe distance, blending into the crowd.
A vigilant employee passing by saw a suspicious object and reported the discovery to a security guard in the building and to the University Security Center.
A security guard activated the panic button. Following established procedures, the Security Center duty officer alerted the emergency services of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Russian National Guard, and the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and also reported the incident to the Vice Rector for Information, Youth Policy, and Security and the Chair of the University Emergency Situations Committee.
A patrol team from the U-Piter security organization arrived, cordoned off the area where the explosive device was located, placed a "Fountain" explosion localizer next to it, and organized the evacuation of everyone in the building. The emergency alert system was used for this purpose.
The Rosgvardia rapid response team arrived and defused the explosive device.
The second phase of the training focused on fire suppression. The "Frese" robotic fire suppression platform, developed by young engineers from the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials, and Transport, came in handy.
According to the story, a car parked in the center of the playground caught fire after an improvised explosive device exploded. A university employee noticed the fire and reported it to the U-Piter security guard station in Building 16. The guard called 7 921 940-66-75 and notified the senior administrator of the University Security Center (USC).
The senior administrator notified the emergency services of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Russian National Guard, and the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the university's vice-rector for information, youth policy, and security, and the chairman of the emergency commission.
A fire brigade from the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for St. Petersburg arrived at the scene. A firefighting robot from the Institute of Fire and Rescue (IMMiT) assisted in extinguishing the fire.
During the third stage of training, Polytechnic employees and students were taught how to use primary fire extinguishing equipment: water, blankets, and fire extinguishers (powder, carbon dioxide, and air-emulsion).
