On December 7, the State Hermitage Museum celebrated its 261st anniversary. It's no coincidence that the birthdate of the country's premier museum coincides with the feast day of its patron saint, Saint Catherine. Russia's first art museum owes its founding to Empress Catherine the Great. It was she who, in 1764, purchased the painting collection from the German merchant Johann Ernst Gotzkowsky, which marked the beginning of the Hermitage's history and glory.

Today, the Hermitage is among the greatest artistic treasures on the planet. Its complex comprises 12 buildings, and its collections contain approximately three million works of art and world cultural monuments. Hermitage centers operate in several Russian cities: "Hermitage-Siberia" in Omsk, "Hermitage-Ural" in Yekaterinburg, "Hermitage-Eurasia" in Orenburg, "Hermitage-Kazan," and "Hermitage-Vyborg."

For many, visiting the Hermitage is a cherished dream. Travelers from around the world come to St. Petersburg to stroll the museum's historic halls, amazed at how much beauty human hands can create when guided by inspiration born of love and light.

SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy and Ravenstvo JSC CEO Igor Zubakov signed a cooperation agreement between the university and the company. The ceremony took place during an official visit by Ravenstvo representatives to the university.

In their joint activities, the partners intend to be guided by the provisions of the Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation, approved by Decree No. 145 of the President of the Russian Federation dated February 28, 2024, and their own promising development programs.

Ravenstvo is one of Russia's leading instrument-making companies specializing in naval electronic warfare, naval equipment, and civilian radar. The company was founded in 1952 as a specialized instrument-making plant of the Ministry of Shipbuilding Industry and focused on the production of radar stations for submarines. Since 2018, it has been part of the Tactical Missiles Corporation.

The company's need for qualified engineers has increased due to the development of new products, including a line of marine navigation radar systems financed by the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade. Representatives of JSC Ravenstvo contacted Polytechnic University to clarify the university's competencies in mechanics, electronics, marketing, and technical design.

Several meetings were held with the institutes' deputy directors. The first business agreement was signed with the Institute of Mechanics and Technology. The design of the future system is being developed with the Higher School of Design and Architecture of the Civil Engineering Institute.

The signing of the agreement solidified these agreements and defined the vectors of further cooperation.

The areas of common interest between SPbPU and Ravenstvo include radio engineering, electronics, communications, innovative technologies in electromechanics, computing systems and programming, innovative technologies, and industrial safety.

"The technological equipment we use to train our students is crucial for us. We can't replace it every two or three years; in this sense, we'll never be able to keep up with you, industrialists. As a result, graduates enter production five years behind what's happening in the real economy. That's why relationships with industrial partners are so important. Especially since we also provide students with a blue-collar job, such as CNC machine operator, and they begin working in industrial settings while still studying," Andrey Rudskoy said during the meeting.

"We've undergone a major renovation at the plant over the past two years, bringing in experienced developers and designers. We've acquired over 140 pieces of cutting-edge equipment, which is exactly what our team is working on. We have a clear understanding of where we're headed and why, and in this regard, we want to collaborate with Polytechnic University. We've already identified a number of areas and are looking forward to learning more about your work," Igor Zubakov emphasized.

In the agreement, the partners defined the areas and forms of cooperation:

Formation of a long-term plan for the needs of engineering personnel and targeted, including targeted, training of highly qualified specialists for JSC Ravenstvo; joint development and implementation of practice-oriented and flexible modular educational programs of higher education, including network ones, ensuring that students acquire professional competencies that meet the current requirements of the labor market; holding joint events aimed at promoting the employment of SPbPU graduates in JSC Ravenstvo; development and implementation of joint educational programs for continuing professional education in the interests of JSC Ravenstvo; implementation of joint research, development, design and survey and technological work on the topics of JSC Ravenstvo and its partners; commercialization of the results of intellectual activity; organization and support of discussion platforms, organization of joint scientific and scientific-practical events, exchange of scientific and scientific-technical information; career guidance activities; involvement of the most talented students and employees in scientific and industrial activities.

The White Hall was transformed for a performance by ballet dancers – the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet began collaborating with the main cultural institution, Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University.

The Polytechnic University managed to prepare a special ballet stage covering and provide lighting for the production to ensure a successful premiere.

This isn't a coincidence: over a hundred years ago, the legendary Matilda Kschessinska danced on this very stage. Today, young dancers continue this tradition, filling the hall with the same inspiring atmosphere that once accompanied the famous ballerina's performances. "The transformation of the White Hall stage into a ballet stage has become a symbol of the continuity of generations and a living connection between the history of the Polytechnic University and the history of Russian ballet," noted Boris Kondin, Head of the SPbPU Directorate of Cultural Programs and Youth Creativity.

Students from the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet's Choreography Department performed a program that combined a contemporary approach to the art of dance with a commitment to the traditions of the great Vaganova school. In the choreographic cycle "Creations," they explored the eternal themes of choosing one's path in life and finding one's guiding star. They presented one of the most famous Old Testament stories, "Cain and Abel," and a poetic interpretation of the ancient Greek myth, "The Abduction of Europa," as well as a choreographic interpretation of Alexander Mitta's Soviet film, "The Tale of Wanderings."

New music by Sofia Gubaidullina, David Lang, Arvo Pärt and Alfred Schnittke was also performed in the White Hall.

"I'm proud that St. Petersburg has such a strong school of contemporary dance, and that the new generation of choreographers are so free in their stage designs that they can offer the kind of performance we saw today," shared Yulia Smirnova, a fourth-year student at the SPbPU State Institute of Dance. "And the White Hall, with its extraordinary lighting, is the perfect stage for it."

The collaboration between the Polytechnic University and the Academy of Russian Ballet is based on a commitment to preserving and developing Russian culture, inspiring through aesthetic education, and making choreographic art accessible to everyone, as the White Hall is known for its affordable ticket prices and discounts for students, schoolchildren, and pensioners.

Ballet performances will become regular events in the White Hall, with the upcoming performance featuring the fairytale ballet "The Little Humpbacked Horse." On December 27, the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet will present New Year's adventures and graceful choreography in the ceremonial setting of the White Hall.
