From September 1st to 25th, Novosibirsk State University and the House of Scientists in Akademgorodok hosted the ninth annual "Metamorphoses of Culture" event, organized by the Department of History, Culture, and Arts. Humanitarian Institute (GI) NSU.

Each year, the organizers come up with a new theme for the event, one that will be relatable to many and encompass a broad range of history. This year, "Metamorphoses of Culture" focused on the era of Alexander Pushkin.

"At our event, we're discussing the Pushkin era, covering literature, education, criticism, and much more. Pushkin is a timeless classic! And we strive to adapt to modern realities and present information in a vibrant and engaging way. For example, we had a lecture by Maria Sergeevna Berendeyeva, where we discussed Pushkin's portrayal in cinema. A great many films have been based on his works, and how many are dedicated to him! We held a closing lecture-concert, "Music against the backdrop of the era: A.S. Pushkin and M.I. Glinka." Maria Aleksandrovna Timofeeva delivered the lecture and simultaneously played the piano, performing works by Glinka, a contemporary of Pushkin," commented Victoria Vybornova, PhD in History and assistant professor in the Department of History, Culture, and Arts at the Novosibirsk State University Institute of History.

The lecturers included leading scholars and distinguished teachers from scientific and educational institutions in Novosibirsk and Moscow. Anna and Marina Sidorov were invited speakers from the State Archives of the Russian Federation. They shared their insights into the process of publishing sources and the challenges they face when working with them. For example, the lecture "Benckendorff: A Portrait Against the Background of an Era" described how the military leader's diary and letters, written in various languages, were translated. The key to translation is not only to convey the beauty and style of the original but also to preserve the author's intended meaning.

"Today I gave a lecture on the image of Alexander Sergeevich in cinema. My professional interests are as a linguist, but I also study polycode texts, that is, texts that combine different sign systems. Wine is a prime example of such a polycode text, so I have some expertise in certain aspects of cinema. I'm very pleased to see so many people in the audience today. This means that Pushkin's work still holds interest; it attracts and excites people, which is wonderful," shared Maria Berendeyeva, PhD in Philology, Associate Professor in the Department of History of Culture and Arts, and Senior Researcher at the Heritage Research and Educational Center at the Novosibirsk State University Institute of Geography.

Schoolchildren from nearby schools, students, young researchers, teachers and university professors were able to attend the lectures.

"The main audience is, of course, philologists and historians, but it's also nice to see mathematicians, physicists, and economists. We have interested students from various departments, because Alexander Sergeevich is a classic. I recently conducted a seminar at the Institute of Intelligent Robotics at NSU, and one boy recited an excerpt from 'The Song of the Prophetic Oleg' to me. Despite everyone's different specialties, a love of poetry lives within us all," added Victoria Vybornova.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

In September, a group of young engineers, participants in the Polytechnic University's "Engineering League" rocket science intensive, embarked on a truly cosmic journey. They visited the legendary Baikonur Cosmodrome, where they not only witnessed the launch of the Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle but also experienced the history of space exploration.

The trip was organized by the Polytechnic University's Student Admissions Center and coincided with the 27th International Conference "Rocket Modeling in Aerospace Education for Young People." The event brought together 154 young researchers from Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and other countries to discuss the design, construction, and launch of rocket models.

The Polytechnic delegation was accompanied by Yegor Temirgaliev, a senior lecturer at the Higher School of Industrial Management. The group included 10 students from St. Petersburg schools passionate about space and rocket science. Their stay at Baikonur was extremely intensive. The students lived on the grounds of the Chelomey International Space School (ISS), and were personally guided on tours by the ISS director and cosmodrome staff—all industry experts.

Over the course of a week, the young polytechnic students saw almost everything. They visited Assembly and Test Building (ATB) No. 112, where the Soyuz rockets are assembled, stood at the Gagarin Launch Pad—the historic site where the first human spaceflight began, and saw the Buran orbiter's landing complex and the Energia rocket launch command post.

They also visited the memorial houses of Sergei Korolev and Yuri Gagarin, which preserve the unique atmosphere of the era of the first space victories, and strolled along Cosmonaut Alley, where every tree was planted by cosmonauts. The highlight of the trip was the launch of the Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle carrying supplies for the ISS, which the participants observed from a short distance. This spectacle left no one indifferent.

Safira Tavliyarova, an 11th-grade student at Academic Gymnasium No. 56, shared her impressions: "The moment the fuel ignites, the entire sky is bathed in a bright light; it feels like the sun has returned for a moment. The flames flare up and rise. Everything around you bursts into flames, and you feel the warmth on your face, even though you're a kilometer away. You feel the vibrations of the rocket's takeoff through your entire body. This event reminded me that anything is possible in this world."

As Safira noted, the journey to Baikonur took almost two days, including a flight, a border crossing by car, and a train ride. However, all the difficulties were worth it, thanks to the unforgettable experience of immersing yourself in the world of cosmonautics.

"This trip left a warm, pleasant mark on my life. In my opinion, such impressions, emotions, and events are worth living for," she added.

This trip is a shining example of the Polytechnic University's strategy for engaging talented young people. The Engineering League project allows schoolchildren not only to gain theoretical knowledge in rocket science but also to see its practical application in the real economy, meet future employers, and immerse themselves in the professional environment.

"Seeing the scale of the space industry with your own eyes, feeling the power of engineering and the vibrations of a rocket taking off is an invaluable experience," notes Yegor Temirgaliyev. "Such experiences become a powerful motivation for young people to study the exact sciences in depth, enroll in technical universities, and eventually create their own breakthrough projects here at the Polytechnic University."

The Polytechnic University's Engineering League educational intensive program continues to open doors to the world of high technology and real science for talented schoolchildren, igniting new stars in the country's engineering firmament.

The Association of International Students is a community whose main goal is to support international students in Novosibirsk, strengthen friendships, host events celebrating cultural diversity, provide academic support to students at Novosibirsk universities, and much more.

At the beginning of the meeting, Roman Karbushev, a specialist in the NSU Education Export Department, outlined the key objectives:

This year, we have a lot of work ahead of us, related to the development and promotion of our branch's activities. Our team is full of enthusiastic individuals with plenty of ideas for how to further develop our activities, and I hope there will be even more of them today. The main task today is to present a report on the past year, share our plans for the future, and, of course, welcome new members to our team.

Next, Evgeny Sagaydak, Head of the Education Export Department at NSU, delivered a welcoming speech:

According to last year's data, 9,500 international students from 60 countries were studying in the Novosibirsk Region—a significant number. The region has ambitious goals: to increase the number of students by 50% by 2030. The city is open to welcoming international students, and its universities are also ready to welcome students from abroad. A specially developed regional program for the development of education exports aims to not only increase the number of international students but also create a comfortable environment for them to live in the city, so that during their studies, your university becomes an alma mater you will remember fondly.

Olga Naumova, director of the Yunost art residency, also addressed the participants: "I am pleased to welcome you today, including on behalf of Vasily Viktorovich Noskov, head of the Novosibirsk Region Department of Youth Policy. I hope that your activism and interest in developing the International Students Association will benefit you, the region, and those young people in your home country to whom you will share your experiences in the Novosibirsk Region."

Avishka Alagiyavanna, president of the Novosibirsk branch, presented a report on the AIS's work, sharing with activists what the association has accomplished over the past year.

AIS, together with the leaders of the International Friendship Club, held a joint meeting with Irina Yuryevna Sukhorukova, Head of the Permit and Visa Department of the Main Directorate for Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Novosibirsk Region, where they discussed migration legislation, medical examinations for international students, and other topics. The association plans to hold another meeting with the Ministry of Internal Affairs after the migration legislation has been amended.

A mini-football tournament was held at NSTU, hosting six teams from seven universities. AIS also attended the International Youth Forum "Russia Made Us Friends 2025," which aims to bring together international student leaders from Russia, train them to work at the AIS RF branch, and introduce them to the diversity of Russian culture.

From August 27 to 29, 2025, the Russian Association of Foreign Students Media School was held in the Moscow region. This large-scale event brought together 85 students from 31 countries, representing universities across Russia. Among them were seven students from Novosibirsk, including representatives of Novosibirsk State University.

For three days, participants immersed themselves in the world of media and digital technologies. The Media School program included a media quiz, where students learned to create engaging content; design workshops and Figma sessions; development of new sections for regional AIS branches; and training sessions on teamwork, time management, and an active social media presence.

"When I learned about this forum, I immediately knew I had to participate. The topics covered at the media school align well with my desire to provide as much information as possible to international students coming to Russia to ease their adaptation. Initially, they face a number of challenges related to learning new languages, a different education system, and so on," noted Josué Pudiugo, a second-year doctoral student at the Faculty of Natural Sciences at NSU and a participant in the Media School.

According to participants, the Media School became not only an educational platform but also a place for sharing experiences, pursuing creative pursuits, and expanding their network. Here, students not only mastered current media trends but also met inspiring people, made new friends, and strengthened their international connections.

"Initially, I was offered to attend the 'Heart of AIS' forum, and to be honest, it wasn't a priority for me. But then, when I arrived and saw the atmosphere, my eyes lit up, and I came back so energized that I want to make an even greater contribution to the development of our branch this year. This was my first trip with the guys. I had a great time the entire two days, and I'm glad I met AIS participants from all over Russia and worked with them on content creation," added Laylo Abdurakhmanova, a student at SibUPK.

The Association's immediate plans include holding the traditional Indian festival of Diwali at the Novosibirsk House of Scientists and preparing an event to coincide with National Unity Day.
