In November, Alina Ivanova, a first-year master's student in Political Science at the NSU Institute of Philosophy and Law, and Victoria Maltseva, Partner Relations Manager at the NSU Career Development Center, took part in a four-day trip to Zheleznogorsk in Krasnoyarsk Krai. The trip was made possible through the Rosmolodezh program "More Than a Journey" and the "Tours of Opportunity to Nuclear Cities" project, implemented by the Rosatom State Corporation. A total of 29 people from Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Irkutsk, Kemerovo, Novokuznetsk, Snezhinsk, and Seversk participated in the event.
The tour program included a sightseeing tour of Zheleznogorsk, a visit to the museum of the Rosatom State Corporation and the M.F. Reshetnev Information Satellite Systems JSC, the "Forward to the Dream" recreational horseback riding center, and the "Lapudai" husky center. Workshops on mini-volleyball and dumpling making were also held, along with evening programs such as "Kvartirnik" and "Siberian Feast." In addition, walks through the park grounds and a project were organized, including landscaping an eco-trail on the grounds of the "Nad Yenisei" recreation center, where the participants stayed outside the closed city.
Alina Ivanova was born in Krasnoyarsk and, as a child, often visited Zheleznogorsk, where her father worked. The city was relatively familiar to her, but during the four-day tour, she discovered a completely new side.
"The Museum and Exhibition Center of the Closed Administrative Territorial Entity of Zheleznogorsk, which includes exhibits from JSC Academician M.F. Reshetnev Information Satellite Systems (Russia's largest spacecraft manufacturer), was particularly memorable for its interactive areas, where participants could try on the role of a researcher and engineer. I was also amazed by the Space Communications Center's site in the evening, when, unexpectedly for the program participants, the satellite dishes lit up with multicolored lights—it was a wow effect! The Tolgut Park and Olen-Gora park areas, which I had never visited before, delighted me with their natural purity and beauty—I'll definitely return here in the summer to enjoy the fresh air and natural bounty," Alina Ivanova shared her impressions.
For Victoria Maltseva, the trip provided an opportunity to learn more not only about the city, its history, and key facts about its "biography," but also how Rosatom works with young professionals, what career opportunities it offers, what support measures exist, and what kind of personnel the company is most interested in.
"The key event of our tour was a meeting with representatives of Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation. During group interviews, the company executives repeatedly emphasized that Zheleznogorsk welcomes young professionals—graduates from the Physics Department, the Faculty of Natural Sciences, and the Faculty of Information Technology at NSU, as well as those with humanities backgrounds as teachers, and graduates of the Institute of Medicine and Medical Technology—to work in the city's medical institutions. City businesses help young professionals adapt, provide company housing, and offer competitive salaries, creating real opportunities for professional growth," commented Victoria Maltseva.
