Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University is launching a new phase of its collaboration with the city's municipal government—the "Open Municipality" project, aimed at organizing practical internships for faculty members in local government bodies. Its key feature is a fundamentally new approach to internships: the interns are university faculty members, not students. This format, launched for the first time, is designed not simply to train participants but to provide faculty with the opportunity to immerse themselves in the work processes of local government bodies, explore local management practices, and integrate their experience into the educational process.

Representatives of the Council of Municipalities of St. Petersburg—Chairman Vsevolod Belikov, Executive Director Mikhail Novikov, and Deputy Executive Director Yulia Slav—joined the SPbPU team to discuss the project's concept, content, and implementation mechanisms.

Thirteen leading faculty members from the Graduate School of Public Administration at the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University also participated in the working meeting and discussion of the "Open Municipality" internship project.

Participants discussed issues related to the development of local self-government in the context of federal reform, including changes related to Federal Law No. 33-FZ of March 20, 2025, "On the General Principles of Organizing Local Self-Government in a Unified System of Public Authority," prospects for municipal reorganization, the distribution of powers, possible optimization mechanisms, and the participation of municipal authorities in the integrated development of territories.

Particular emphasis was placed on the need to maintain a people-centered approach to municipal governance. Experts emphasized that during the optimization process, it is crucial to maintain contact with residents—a key factor in the trust and effectiveness of local government.

This project is important not only as an internship, but also as a new format of collaboration—when municipalities and the university become partners in developing modern management solutions. We see the Polytechnic University as a reliable ally in training personnel and fostering expert discussion. Such initiatives should become regular—we are ready to share best practices, listen to proposals, and work together to shape a new school of municipal governance for St. Petersburg," noted Vsevolod Belikov.

The project's key audience is faculty members of the "Public and Municipal Administration" program at the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade at SPbPU.

Today, universities can't limit themselves to the classical education model—it's important for us to be involved in real-life management processes, to see how decisions are made, and to transform this knowledge into educational programs. The "Open Municipality" project is a shining example of how academia and government bodies are creating a unified space for the exchange of expertise. We are confident that a teacher with a deep understanding of practice prepares specialists of a fundamentally new caliber, capable of responding to the challenges of the times and the demands of society," shared Vice Rector for Academic Affairs Lyudmila Pankova.

The goal is to bring the educational process closer to real municipal practice, develop the professional competencies of faculty, narrow the gap between theory and management reality, and facilitate the formation of a personnel reserve for municipalities.

The project will allow:

Integrate real-world management challenges into the educational process; strengthen the practice-oriented nature of the training of future managers; establish regular exchange of competencies between the university and local government bodies; and develop project-based work and modern formats for faculty-student interaction.

The internship covers key areas of local government activity and includes both lectures and on-site practical modules in municipalities across St. Petersburg.

During the internship, participants will become familiar with key areas of municipal work. The program will cover the legal, organizational, and financial foundations of municipal operations, modern analytical and digital approaches to local government, mechanisms for interagency cooperation, and practices for handling citizen complaints.

Special attention will be paid to studying best municipal practices, including issues of integrated territorial development, urban improvement, as well as military-patriotic education, sports, and leisure activities as part of social policy at the local level.

The program combines expert presentations, discussions, and practice-oriented formats, allowing participants to immerse themselves in real-life management processes and best municipal practices in St. Petersburg.

Thus, at the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg, Vsevolod Belikov, Chairman of the Legislation Committee of the Legislative Assembly and Chairman of the Council of Municipalities of St. Petersburg, will give an introductory lecture on local government development trends.

The Liteiny Okrug municipality will host a lecture and discussion featuring Pavel Daynyak, which will examine the legal, organizational, and financial foundations of municipal activities.

Igor Pyzhik will lead the module at the Akademicheskoe Municipal District. Participants will explore municipal information and analytical tools, interagency cooperation mechanisms, and participate in a discussion of resident engagement practices.

During a field trip to the Finnish District municipality, led by Alexandra Kirpichnikova, teachers will learn about municipal best practices and best practices in landscaping.

The Vasilievsky Municipal District will host a module led by Dmitry Ivanov, dedicated to the organization of military-patriotic work, the development of sports, and leisure as important areas of municipal policy.

In December, the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade will host a final discussion session in a "world café" format, featuring municipal representatives and Polytechnic faculty. Participants will jointly develop practice-oriented solutions for territorial development. A key outcome of the program will be the development of teaching materials that will be integrated into faculty curricula, strengthening the practice-oriented nature of the training of future specialists in public and municipal administration.

The "Open Municipality" project is more than just an internship; it's a bridge between university expertise and the real-world practice of municipal governance. For faculty, it's an opportunity to strengthen their competencies, for students, to gain mentors who understand real-world challenges, and for the city, to develop a new generation of managers. Projects like these move the system forward, and Polytechnic University is ready to lead these changes. "Only forward!" emphasized Maxim Ivanov, IPMEiT Deputy Director for Promising Projects and Youth Policy.

The project received the support of Alexander Belsky, Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg, who noted the initiative's importance for developing expert dialogue and teamwork aimed at addressing urban development challenges. The "Open Municipality" project marks a new stage in the strategic partnership between the university and the city government, cementing the Polytechnic University's role as a center for management training, a methodological leader, and a key player in shaping modern municipal human resources policy in St. Petersburg.

The White Hall is unrecognizable today. Instead of the usual academic rigor, there's a sea of emotion, camera flashes, and the roar of enthusiastic voices. A true sporting celebration reigns at the Polytechnic: heroes are being honored who have accomplished what yesterday seemed almost impossible.

November 12 will forever be remembered in the history of Russian student hockey. It was on this day The Black Bears-Polytech hockey team won the Student Hockey League Super Cup for the first time in history.Three matches into a tense series, and here they are at the top: Polytechnic students defeated the reigning champions, proving their rightful place as the strongest.

The hall gradually fills. The players appear, reserved but with barely concealed pride in their eyes. Behind them are the coaching staff, the manager, and the press officer. And then the guests of honor:

Rector of the Polytechnic University, Vice-President of the Russian Academy of Sciences Andrey Rudskoy; Head Coach of the Black Bears, Coach of the Dynamo Saint Petersburg Ice Sports Academy Roman Mikhalchenko; Three-time USSR Champion, World Champion among youth teams as part of the USSR national team, former head coach of the team Mikhail Panin; Head of the Sports Department of the Committee for Physical Culture and Sports of St. Petersburg Evgeniya Gruk; Director of the Institute of Physical Culture, Sports and Tourism of SPbPU, Chairman of the St. Petersburg branch of the Student Sports Union of Russia Valery Sushchenko.

During the celebration, a replay of the fourth period of that very match is played on stage. The hall seems to transform into a grandstand—it seems like the spectators are about to start chanting, "Puck-boo! Puck-boo!" A sparkling performance by the team's cheerleaders adds to the excitement. Lively rhythms, vibrant costumes, and dynamic routines electrify the atmosphere, and even the most reserved guests can't sit still: some are dancing, others are clapping along to the rhythm.

And now comes the climax. Andrei Rudskoy and Valeri Sushchenko take the stage. In Andrei Ivanovich's hands is the very trophy for which the team had fought through fire and water: the SHL Russian Super Cup. He lifts it above his head along with team captain Alexander Butorin. One by one, the players take to the microphones and receive their university awards. The audience erupts in applause that seems never-ending.

These moments are more than just a ceremony. They are a symbol of unity, will, and faith in victory. This is the story that the Black Bears of Polytech wrote with their hockey sticks, their talent, and their indomitable spirit. And now it will become part of the Polytech legend—a legend that is only just beginning.

Today, the Polytechnic University acquired a new partner: the Kirov Central Park of Culture and Leisure, or CPCL for short. SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy and CPCL Director Pavel Seleznev signed a cooperation agreement.

Pavel Andreevich graduated from the Mechanical Engineering Department of the Polytechnic University in 1985, so his visit to his alma mater was a special occasion for him. He was accompanied by Alexey Yezhov, First Deputy Director of the Central Park of Culture and Recreation, and Maria Zhuk, a methodologist at the Yelaginoostrovsky Palace Museum. The guests were greeted by Rector Andrey Rudskoy, Advisor to the Rector's Office Vladimir Glukhov, Vice Rector for Organizational and Economic Affairs Stanislav Vladimirov, Vice Rector for Information, Youth Policy, and Security Maxim Pasholikov, Vice Rector for Continuing and Pre-University Education Dmitry Tikhonov, Academic Secretary Dmitry Karpov, Director of the SPbPU Institute of Civil Engineering Marina Petrochenko, Director of the Fundraising and Alumni Relations Center Sergey Chichenev, and Director of the Polytechnic Museum Valery Klimov.

The conversation around the oval table in the rector's office was both businesslike and friendly. Many shared memories emerged, from childhood walks in the Central Park of Culture and Leisure to student years at the Polytechnic University. Pavel Seleznev recounted how he, a graduate of the LPI Mechanical Engineering Department and then the St. Petersburg University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, became the head of the Central Park of Culture and Leisure, which he has managed for 14 years now. He shared interesting facts about the park, in particular, about tulips, which have now become an integral part of the Central Park of Culture and Leisure, although they were previously absent there. Incidentally, it could be said that it was thanks to the tulips that the current cooperation agreement was signed. On the day of the citywide cleanup day, October 25, the Central Park of Culture and Leisure donated 10 thousand bulbs of these flowers to the Polytechnic UniversityThey were planted in various flowerbeds on campus, and in the spring we'll be able to host a mini-tulip festival here (the Central Park of Culture and Leisure hosts such festivals every year).

"Today marks a new chapter in our relationship; let's work together," Andrey Rudskoy said during the meeting. "You might be interested in our students' experience creating the Polytechnic University MetaCampus—a virtual digital ecosystem connecting the university's campus information model, databases, and service systems. We would be delighted if your specialists took on the responsibility for our park."

Developing this idea, Andrey Rudskoy presented a gift to Pavel Seleznev Photo album "Flora and fauna of the Polytechnic Park". An equivalent return gift to the Polytechnic was a colorful publication dedicated to the 200th anniversary of the Elaginoostrovsky Palace and Park Ensemble.

Collaboration between the university and the Central Park of Culture and Leisure offers endless possibilities. In addition to staff training and professional development, this includes educational and on-the-job training and internships for students, career-guided excursions, visiting lectures, joint events, the participation of university creative teams in the Yelagin Park street theater festival, the participation of student research societies and design bureaus in the Yelagin Rally modeling and technical sports festival, and simply the volunteer participation of SPbPU students in Central Park of Culture and Leisure events. This includes technical expertise of amusement rides and collaboration on organizational and technical issues related to the preservation and development of the Polytechnic Park. Furthermore, Andrey Rudskoy greatly interested the partners in the opportunity to participate in the restoration of the garden at the Kholomki Estate Museum.

"We know what to surprise you with in Kholomki, we're preparing a surprise," Pavel Seleznev intrigued. "The Central Park of Culture and Leisure also has some interesting offers for students. Signing the agreement with the Polytechnic University is a great honor for me, and I hope our collaboration will be promising and mutually enriching."
