A meeting was held at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University between Rector Andrey Rudskoy and Pavel Spirin, head of the Urban Planning Department at the Institute of Strategic Studies, director of the Research Institute for Advanced Urban Planning, and academician of the Russian Academy of Architecture and Construction Sciences.

The event was attended by SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy, ISI Director Marina Petrochenko, and ISI Graduate School of Design and Architecture Director Margarita Perkova, while the Research Institute of Industrial Geosciences was represented by Director Pavel Spirin.

The opening of the joint department was the result of a cooperation agreement signed between the Institute of Civil Engineering at SPbPU and the Research Institute of Industrial Geodesy in 2024. The first joint project was research into the preparation of spatial modeling and territory visualization materials as part of the territorial planning documentation (territory planning and surveying project) for the city of Gelendzhik.

The training of highly qualified urban planners is highly relevant. According to the Russian Ministry of Construction, Housing, and Utilities, the state's need for such specialists is approximately 20,000–50,000. To address this challenge, the Institute of Strategic Studies (ISS) and the Research Institute of Industrial Geosciences (NII PG) are implementing programs aimed at training a new generation of highly qualified specialists.

The purpose of establishing the joint department is to integrate educational, research, and project activities to train highly qualified personnel in the field of territorial planning and urban design. The department will also focus on professional development and the development of research in this field.

Classes are held at the Department's Research Institute for Advanced Urban Development, a leading design and architectural center in Russia and a leader in the field of territorial planning, urban zoning, and land use planning.

The main research areas of the Urban Planning department cover topics such as:

Scientific and methodological approaches to the preparation of territorial planning documents; development of information systems in urban planning; substantiation of the scientific basis for the preparation of urban planning standards; environmentally oriented territorial planning; legal and methodological aspects of urban planning regulation.

The Research Institute for Advanced Urban Development was established in 1992, continuing the professional traditions of the Leningrad Research Institute of Urban Development, the oldest institute in the urban development industry.

The Research Institute of Urban Development possesses unique experience and expertise, confirmed by licenses from the Russian Ministry of Culture, the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, and ISO and SRO certificates. Over the course of its operations, the Institute has implemented over 700 major urban development projects at the federal and regional levels, including the development of methodological recommendations for the Russian Ministry of Regional Development, master plans for cities such as Sochi, Krasnodar, Anapa, and Murmansk, and territorial development concepts.

The opening of a joint department of "Urban Planning" at the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University within the Institute of Civil Engineering will not only strengthen student training in territorial planning and urban design but also significantly expand the Polytechnic's research potential in these areas. Joint activities with the Research Institute of Advanced Urban Planning will help meet the high demand for urban planning engineers nationwide, noted Marina Petrochenko, Director of the Institute of Advanced Urban Planning.

In 2025, the annual "Volunteer School at Polytechnic University" project was implemented jointly with the Institute of Civil Engineering and the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade as part of the SPbPU Development Program to 2036 and the national goal of developing patriotism and engaging 45% of young people in volunteer and social activities by 2030 (the Russian National Project "Youth and Children").

A total of 296 participants completed the Volunteer School. Among them were students from the Institute of Civil Engineering, the Institute of Social Studies, the Institute of Mechanics and Electronics, the Institute of Economics, the Institute of Economics and Telecommunications, and the Institute of Biological and Social Sciences. Organized by the Harmony Dobro Center, the Volunteer School brought together students eager to learn how to help others and become part of the Polytechnic's ecosystem of goodness.

Over the course of five days, the students attended training sessions, meetings with experts, master classes, and an additional day dedicated to culture and creativity. The Volunteer School featured 22 speakers: veterans of the Air Defense Forces, members of the Air Defense Forces Veterans Association and the Fatherland Defenders Fund, leaders and representatives of NGOs, charitable foundations, the St. Petersburg Resource Center, the St. Petersburg Youth House, the Urban Volunteer Center, and experts from Rosmolodezh.Grants, Grants of the First, the Agency for Strategic Initiatives, and the International Prize.

Each day was themed. Participants learned about the volunteer ecosystem and explored the importance of supporting the development of blood and bone marrow donation. They acquired basic first aid and psychological support skills, explored grants and media projects, examined social and event-based volunteering in detail, discussed youth initiatives, developed creativity, and shared inspiration through creative expression.

Tatyana Nam, Director of the Dobro.Center "Harmony," spoke at the school's opening. She discussed key areas of volunteering and opportunities for students at the Polytechnic University, as well as how to be successful and happy. Maxim Smirnov, founder of the All-Russian Online School of Media Volunteers and a lecturer at the Znanie Society, shared his personal experience of growing from a volunteer to a youth mentor. And Sergey Korolev, Director of the Volunteer Resource Center in St. Petersburg, conducted a training session on the application of various game-based practices to working with young people.

The second day of the training focused on bone marrow donation. Lyubov Belozerova, Director of the Bone Marrow Donation Development Center Foundation and the fortunate one who saved a life, spoke about her mission and the challenges of finding a DNA match.

A significant event of the day was a meeting with SVO veterans, natives of Donbas, and members of the St. Petersburg Youth Parliament, Zakhar Kornev and Vladimir Sukhinin. They shared their stories honestly and openly and answered students' questions. At the end of the evening, Maria Guner, head of the PoliNova authors' club, a member of the Russian Writers' Union, and a student at the Humanities Institute, read a poem of hers to the young veterans as a literary gift—a continuation of their words about peace and tranquility.

We talked with the children about what it means to be a patriot of one's country. Each person demonstrates their civic responsibility, patriotism, and love for their homeland through their actions. Service to the Fatherland is a great value. And not necessarily with weapons in hand," said Zakhar Kornev, a veteran of the SVO and deputy chairman of the Youth Parliament of St. Petersburg.

I liked that the young veterans of the SVO are very open and sincere, just like us students. They aren't afraid to talk about their lives, families, and difficult moments. It's gratifying that despite difficult life experiences, they remain positive and share their stories with others. Listening to them was truly interesting. Overall, the Volunteer School gave me the opportunity to listen to interesting speakers, especially the topics on social volunteering and first aid. I believe I not only gained new knowledge but also met people from other institutes and was inspired to help people! – shared her impressions Daria Nagibovich, a second-year student at the Institute of Mechanics, Economics, and Telecommunications.

On the third day of the school, volunteers learned basic first aid and psychological support with Russian Red Cross psychologists Arina Belozerova and Sofia Volkova. Together with active members of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, firefighters, and experts from the Volunteer Rescuers group, Daniil Bobrovsky and Bogdan Leta, they learned critical response procedures, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation, trauma care, and respiratory arrest.

The fourth day was a day of ideas, projects, and creativity. Maria Pilipenko, an expert in federal grant competitions (Rosmolodezh.Grants, Grants First, ASI), and head of the Youth Projects Laboratory, discussed how to turn a socially significant initiative into a tangible project and secure funding. Student producers Ksenia Tomchuk and Polina Kisochkina from the St. Petersburg State Institute of Film and Television presented an original film almanac about heroes of charity, created with the support of Rosmolodezh.Grants.

Maxim Smirnov, a marketing specialist at the Institute of Social Sciences, held a master class on developing creativity and discussed media volunteering. Student mentors at the School of Self-Development, led by Anastasia Savina, a youth mentor at the Harmony Volunteer Projects Center and a specialist at the Institute of Social Sciences' Applied Psychology Laboratory, demonstrated how films can be used to analyze and gently correct human behavior, and to learn to better understand oneself.

On the final day, the students immersed themselves in various volunteer activities. Maria Obukhova, head of the SPbPU Dobro.Center volunteer headquarters and an IPMEiT student, used examples from her own experience to demonstrate the importance of helping those who especially need support (children, adults in difficult life situations, and stray animals).

Nikita Dmitriev, head of the City Volunteer Center and deputy director of the St. Petersburg Youth Center, spoke about event-based projects, large-scale forums, and international events. He demonstrated how volunteering opens doors to new experiences and even travel. At the end of the day, experienced game coach Roman Klymkiv conducted a financial literacy training session, "Cash Flow," where participants learned how to plan, strategize, and manage a budget.

Doing good is easier than it seems. The most important thing is to take the first step, and then, together with the kindest community in our cultural capital, an exciting adventure awaits you," emphasized Nikita Dmitriev, Deputy Director of the St. Petersburg Youth Center.

The finale of the 8th Volunteer School provided students with an atmosphere of creativity and friendship. Begench Mukhammedov, head of the International Community of Foreign Students, spoke about how Russian and international students can collaborate on volunteer projects, preserve historical and cultural traditions and values, and contribute to the development of youth.

The School's closing ceremony took place in a celebratory, creative atmosphere of unity and inspiration. Participants attended a concert by the PoliNova Authors' Club and enjoyed works by young poets, musicians, and vocalists from the Polytechnic University, as well as guests from other St. Petersburg universities.

Students of the School received certificates of attendance at lectures and practical classes, and "graduates" who successfully completed all days of the program were awarded diplomas indicating the hours of training under the volunteer program.

"The Polytechnic University cultivates socially responsible leaders, and our Volunteer School is a shining example of this," noted Tatyana Nam, the project's author and director, and director of the SPbPU Dobro.Center.

The 8th Volunteer School demonstrated the success of the Polytechnic University's unique ecosystem of kindness, which unites students from various institutes and fields, helps them discover their talents, and teaches them to work together for the common good.

The organizers, experts, and participants express special gratitude to Maxim Pasholikov, Vice-Rector for Information, Youth Policy, and Security, and Natalia Chicherina, Director of the Humanities Institute, for their long-term and comprehensive support of the Volunteer School at the Polytechnic University project.

Together we can do more!

A signature cultural event of the autumn, the Pushkin Days at the Polytechnical Festival annually brings together renowned artists and admirers of Russian culture for a series of concerts and events dedicated to the live performance of Russian poetry and music. Over the years, the White Hall has welcomed Vasily Lanovoy, Alexander Filippenko, Alla Demidova, Veniamin Smekhov, Dmitry Dyuzhev, and Anton Shagin. Now, the festival has been graced by one of the most expressive actresses of her generation, Liza Arzamasova.

Liza Arzamasova is known for her work in theater and film, becoming a true star at the age of 12 after appearing in the TV series "Daddy's Daughters." She currently has over 60 roles under her belt, including performances at the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater, the Theater of Nations, and the Vakhtangov Theater, as well as numerous theater and television projects. However, she has never before offered a poetic expression in which she speaks one-on-one with the audience. The actress prepared the program "About Love – from Pushkin to the Present Day" specifically for the White Hall of the Polytechnic University.

"I've read with an orchestra, I've read with partners, and never alone! Thanks to the White Hall's invitation, I was able to weave my favorite poems into a single poetic fabric and spread this love," said Liza Arzamasova. "Many generations of poets have celebrated it, and each has its own chord, its own emotion, its own key word for this magical feeling. Whether it's ornate, like Pushkin's, or 'streetwise', or straightforward, like contemporary poets—it doesn't matter. If the author's passion was piercing, it will reach the heart of any century."

And Liza won the hearts of the audience. The packed auditorium, most of which was filled with Polytechnic students, was transfixed by the actress's opening remarks. Then came the magic—a monologue about love, woven from poems by Pushkin, Tyutchev, Brodsky, Rozhdestvensky, Akhmatova, Tsvetaeva, Akhmadulina, and Mamocheva.

"Liza is magical! Exciting, touching, tender! And she's a powerful reader and a great actress!" shared viewer Ksenia Solovieva.

"I'm hardly familiar with Liza or her roles, but she captivated me here. I've seen Yursky and Kazakov, and this is on the same level!" said Dmitry Strelets.

The most steadfast viewers waited for the actress to personally express their gratitude and get an autograph. Liza had special words for everyone, but she dedicated her deepest feelings to the Polytechnic University.

"The Polytechnic University is a unique space, preserving across generations an atmosphere of grandeur, openness, and airiness, despite its monumental nature. It's a great joy and a great responsibility for me to work here. There are venues where you have to win over the audience like a locomotive, but here, you come to the White Hall as a guest and immediately begin to speak from the heart, bypassing the path of conquest. I'm so happy that we shared a common language with the audience and felt together," shared Liza Arzamasova. "It's wonderful that the university is committed to the comprehensive development of technical students through art. All of this makes people vibrant and diverse, teaches them to engage with the world, and allows them to find their own."
