A chess boxing-fit tournament was held at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University to celebrate National Unity Day. The competition, which combined the strategic thinking of chess players with the physical fitness of boxers, became a shining example of interdisciplinary collaboration between university clubs.

The tournament took place in the boxing gym of the Politekhnik Sports Complex. A distinctive feature of the "chessboxing fit" format is the absence of direct combat between the participants. Each round included one minute of punching bag practice and a five-minute blitz chess match. In the event of a tie, the winner was determined in an additional round on the bag. All matches were held using the Olympic system.

Around 40 athletes of various age and weight categories participated in the competition. The head judge was Andrey Skorokhodov, head of the St. Petersburg branch of the Russian Chessboxing Federation and coach of the Polytechnic University boxing team. Ruslan Barseghyan coordinated the event on behalf of the Chess Club, and students from both clubs provided organizational support.

Winners of the final matches

Zhigmit Namzhilov defeated Artem Ovsyannikov by mat in the second round, Anatoly Kukushkin defeated Vadim Shestukhin by mat in the second round, Igor Alexandrov defeated Batyr Osmanov by time limit in the second round, Igor Bortnikov defeated Elgun Latifov in boxing in the third round, Sofia Argandeykina defeated Veronika Bozhenova in boxing in the third round, Elizaveta Orlova defeated Ekaterina Gorlova by time limit in the second round, Andrey Tsybin defeated Evgeny Pivinsky in boxing in the third round, Konstantin Kotovich defeated Arseny Perevalov in boxing in the third round

All winners and runners-up were awarded certificates and medals provided by the organizing committee of the Black Bears-Polytech Student Sports Club.

Commenting on the tournament results, Andrey Skorokhodov noted: "The competition was excellent—fast, well-paced, and without any delays. Statistically, only a few matches ended in a third round; in the rest, the winner was determined by a chess match. The participants demonstrated that the chessbox-fit format is both feasible and engaging."

Ruslan Barseghyan, coordinator of the Polytechnic University Chess Club, added: "Chess knows no boundaries and has many related fields of application, one of which is boxing. The chessboxing-fit tournament demonstrated how strategic thinking combines with physical endurance and concentration. I'm confident that the competition in future competitions will be even more interesting and spectacular."

Twelve concerts were included in the program of the "Pushkin Days at the Polytechnic" festival, held annually at SPbPU to commemorate the opening of the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum on October 19, 1811. The festival brings together renowned artists, musicians, and enthusiasts of Russian culture for a series of concerts and meetings dedicated to the live performance of Russian poetry and music.

Theatre and film actor Vladimir Koshevoy performed Alexander Pushkin's romantic and slightly mystical novella "The Snowstorm" on the White Hall stage, accompanied by music by Georgy Sviridov. The finest vocal and instrumental works by great Russian composers, inspired by Pushkin's poetry, were performed by soloists of the Mariinsky Theatre, including People's Artist of Russia Olga Kondina, and members of the Academic Symphony Orchestra of the St. Petersburg Philharmonic, an honored ensemble of Russia. The St. Petersburg Orchestra "Classica" presented majestic symphonic works by Tchaikovsky.

Works by Soviet composers occupied a special place in the festival program. Mikael Tariverdiev's music and songs from iconic films, as well as his organ works, were performed by organist Maria Blazhevich and baritone Alexander Pakhmutov. The Brass Band of the Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union N. G. Kuznetsov Naval Academy, conducted by Dmitry Misyura, prepared a program for the 95th anniversary of Andrei Petrov's birth. Musical excerpts from the films "Amphibian Man," "Station for Two," and "Beware of the Car" were brought to life by the vibrant sounds of a brass band of military musicians.

The works of Vysotsky, Okudzhava, and Galich, who combined music and poetry in a lively, frank conversation with their audiences, were also celebrated. A special concert program offered fans of the genre the opportunity to hear the best St. Petersburg singers of art songs, watch film clips on the big screen, and sing their favorite songs together.

One of the most expressive actresses of her generation graced the Pushkin Days at the Polytechnic Festival with her performance. Liza ArzamasovaShe prepared the program "About Love—From Pushkin to the Present Day" specifically for the White Hall of the Polytechnic University. Listeners described Liza's monologue about love, woven from poems by Pushkin, Tyutchev, Brodsky, Rozhdestvensky, Akhmatova, and Tsvetaeva, as poetic magic.

If Pushkin showed how wonderful a person can be, Chekhov showed how difficult it is to be one in everyday life. The literary and musical performance "Our Chekhov" revealed a man with impeccable moral sense. This important festival event concluded with a standing ovation from the audience, expressing gratitude to Alexandra Kulikova, actress of the G. A. Tovstonogov Bolshoi Drama Theater, and conductor Valeria Putra for this discovery. So many questions arose for ourselves, so many poignant lines and music, so much truth and sincerity.

A magnificent, uplifting composition about the meaning of life, using the genius Chekhov as an example. It gives us something to think about and someone to emulate. I wish the creators continued success in developing similar patriotic themes to educate the younger generation. My gratitude and deepest respect to everyone who put this together. And most importantly, to Chekhov! shared White Hall audience member Tatyana Starkova.

For 19 years, the Pushkin Days at the Polytechnical Festival has brought together generations of listeners who appreciate the diversity and richness of Russian culture.

"Today, when culture faces the threat of oblivion, this festival is becoming not only a celebration of art but also an act of protecting national heritage," said Boris Kondin, festival organizer and head of the SPbPU Directorate of Cultural Programs and Youth Creativity. "It is more important than ever to preserve and pass on to future generations the rich traditions of Russian culture, to strengthen our identity and pride in our country!"

This year marks 61 years since Vladimir Viktorovich Glukhov first entered the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute named after M. I. Kalinin. He enrolled in the Physics and Mechanics Department and, after graduation, was assigned to stay at his alma mater.

But 61 years ago, Vladimir Glukhov didn't come to the Polytechnic University alone. Almost simultaneously with his son's first year, his father, Viktor Filippovich Glukhov, a former career military man and veteran of the Great Patriotic War, found a job in the Department of Higher Mathematics. So, perhaps, together they became the founders. family dynasty of polytechnicians, which we are talking about today in our traditional column "Dynasty".

The Polytechnic University hosted a regional student management olympiad. Such subject-based competitions have been held since 2008 with the support of the city government in accordance with the St. Petersburg state program "Knowledge Economy in St. Petersburg." Students studying full-time at universities located in the Northern Capital are eligible to participate. A total of twenty such olympiads are held in our city.

Last year, SPbPU initiated the management olympiad, submitted an application to the Committee on Science and Higher Education of the St. Petersburg Government, and received the right to host it. Following a successful pilot launch last year, it was included in the official list. The Higher School of Industrial Management of the Institute of Mechanics and Technology of Economics and Technology acted as the organizer and host of the event. Nineteen St. Petersburg universities offering specialized training in management participated in the olympiad. A total of 143 students competed for victory and prizes in the team and individual competitions.

At the opening ceremony of the Olympiad, Vladimir Glukhov, Advisor to the Rector's Office of SPbPU, welcomed the participants, team curators, and members of the Methodological Commission.

The Polytechnic University is pleased to welcome so many universities from our city and participants interested in the Management Olympiad. Such events help develop students' scientific and educational potential and identify talented young people with deep knowledge, skills, and abilities in their respective disciplines, Vladimir Viktorovich emphasized.

Vladimir Shchepinin, Director of the Institute of Mathematics, Economics, and Telecommunications, wished all participants fruitful work and success, and noted the importance of holding the Olympiad: "Events like these are crucial for both the students themselves and the academic community, as they address four key objectives. The first is professional development. The Olympiad provides a valuable platform for participants to apply their knowledge in practice, gain experience, and develop skills. The second objective is the exchange of knowledge between students and experts, creating a stimulating learning environment. The third is collaboration and networking. The Olympiad is an excellent opportunity to establish contacts and network between students from different universities, which fosters a professional academic community. And finally, the fourth objective is identifying and supporting talented students who will be able to make a significant contribution to the development of our city and the country as a whole in the future."

The Olympiad's subject assignments consisted of three blocks: tests, calculations, and case studies. Students competed in seven IPMEIT classrooms. A methodology committee monitored the Olympiad, ensuring objectivity and transparency. After the Olympiad's completion, the committee reviewed and evaluated the assignments. The committee was comprised of representatives from the participating universities.

It was crucial for our university to prepare and conduct the Olympiad at a high professional level. This is a citywide event involving a large number of universities and students. We began preparations back in the summer. We had to develop engaging tasks for the participants and conduct organizational and methodological support activities. I would like to thank my colleagues at the Higher School of Industrial Management for their close-knit and collaborative work! "I would like to thank Olga Kalinina, Director of the Higher School of Industrial Management," she said.

The results will be announced on November 11 at a meeting of the scientific council for approving the winners of subject Olympiads under the Committee for Science and Higher Education of St. Petersburg.
