The traditional festival of student brigades in St. Petersburg took place at the Oktyabrsky Concert Hall, where the results of 2025 were summarized. The event brought together movement veterans, active members, employers, and partners. The best brigades, leaders, and organizers of the region's student movement received awards.
By the end of the year, the SPbPU Student Team Headquarters had strengthened its leadership position. The Polytechnic University received a letter of gratitude from the Vice Governor of St. Petersburg for its significant contribution to the development of student teams. The Headquarters' press service won the Audience Choice Award at the citywide competition.
Among the Polytechnic teams, the following traditionally showed high results:
The student construction team "Iskra" confirmed its title of best in the construction category; the student conductor team "Provorny" retained its leadership in its category; and the student teaching team "SOzvezdie" deservedly earned its place among the best.
Special mention was given to fighters who achieved outstanding results in the past year:
Anna Kurakina (SSSO Altair) was awarded a letter of gratitude for achieving high results in industrial, cultural and socially significant work and contribution to the development of the activities of the Russian Student Brigades, as well as a 3rd degree certificate of honor for her contribution to the development of student brigades of St. Petersburg; Sergey Saplin (SSO Iskra) was awarded an honorary certificate with a badge of distinction for achieving the highest results in industrial, cultural and socially significant work and active support of the activities of the Russian Student Brigades; Alexey Pashukhin (SSO GOST) was recognized as the best headquarters commander; Anastasia Popova (SPO Legenda) was recognized as the best headquarters commissar; Ekaterina Ryabizo (SPO SOzvezdie) was recognized as the best headquarters methodologist; Polina Timoshkova (SSO Nika) was recognized as the best headquarters foreman; Ksenia Zubenko (SOP Provorny) was recognized as the best headquarters commandant.
In 2025, Polytechnic University teams celebrated anniversaries: the student teaching team "SOzvezdie" turned 15 years old, and the guide team "Provorny" turned 10 years old.
The festival's creative program also featured Polytechnic students. The dance number "Earth," choreographed by Lyuba Skorobogatova (SPO "Scarlet Sails"), was warmly received by the audience. The dance group was made up of representatives from three groups: "Scarlet Sails," "SOzvezdie," and "Astra."
The student teaching group "Rassvet" held its fifth annual environmental campaign to collect plastic bottle caps. This annual event aims to foster environmental awareness among its members and support charitable initiatives.
The St. Petersburg Student Brigades Festival is a large-scale event that vividly demonstrates the strength and unity of the movement in our city. The fact that over three thousand people, whose lives are somehow connected to the brigades, gather in the hall on a weekday speaks to the deep integration of this tradition into student life. The festival has become a long-awaited final event of the year, for which students meticulously prepare, organizing their formations and creating a special, festive atmosphere. "It is here, among like-minded people, that the community spirit is truly felt, and the work of each member receives well-deserved recognition," shared Yuri Gaichuk, head of the press service for the Polytechnic University Student Brigades Headquarters.
The festival confirmed that the Polytechnic's student teams continue to develop, set new standards of performance, and make a significant contribution to the development of the St. Petersburg SSO movement.
