A seminar on "Counter-terrorism management in higher education institutions" was held at the Polytechnic University.

Representatives from Polytechnic institutes and departments participated, including the Youth Policy Department, the administration and the United Student Council of the Student City dormitories, the Department of Operational and Economic Services, and others.
"I'm sure each of you checks your news feed every day and sees what's happening in educational institutions and schools lately," Maxim Pasholikov, Vice Rector for Information, Youth Policy, and Security, began the meeting. "The fact that children are bringing weapons, traumatic pistols, and gasoline, dousing everything around them, and setting fires is alarming. And now it's important for us to recognize our own responsibility and work with those around us so that they are also involved and understand the basics of educational security, how to react at any given moment in any given situation, who to call, who to tell, and what to pay attention to. That's why these esteemed experts took the time to come to us today to discuss what aspects of counterterrorism work need to be addressed and how to ensure counterterrorism security on the Polytechnic University campus."
Viktor Kislinskikh, a lecturer at the Audit and Security training center, comprehensively covered key aspects of countering terrorism, from the national system to specific security measures at higher education institutions. The expert focused on analyzing the operational situation in the country due to terrorist attacks, as well as a detailed analysis of the legal framework governing the anti-terrorist security of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science's facilities.
Also attending the event was Police Lieutenant Colonel Denis Isakov, Head of the Off-Department Security Department for the Kalininsky District of St. Petersburg. He emphasized the key role citizens play in ensuring public safety. He emphasized that promptly reporting suspicious persons, objects, or events to law enforcement can prevent tragedy.
