Heroic Chronicle: Polytechnic Students Create a Virtual Museum of the Great Patriotic War

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

August 23 marks one of the days of military glory of Russia – the day of the defeat of the Nazi troops inBattle of Kursk in 1943. More than 3,000 Soviet tanks took part in this grand battle, including the legendary T-34, designed by Polytechnic graduate Mikhail Koshkin.

The Polytechnic Institute made a significant contribution to the Victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War. Many students and teachers fought at the front or worked in the rear, developed new types of weapons needed by the army and navy. The memory of their feat is passed down from generation to generation of Polytechnicians. And it is gratifying that today's students do not forget this heroic page in the history of their university, honor the memory of their ancestors and create projects dedicated to this topic.

Thus, one of the most interesting works prepared by 2nd year students of the Higher School of Biotechnology and Food Production of the Institute of Biomedical Systems and Biotechnology in the discipline "Fundamentals of Project Activities" was "Virtual Museum of the Great Patriotic War and the Siege of Leningrad".

The team of students was led by second-year student of the Biotechnology program Egor Bobin. Katarina Petrova, Evgeny Volzhonok, Luka Boriskin, Danila Gurov, Ilya Borisov, Ekaterina Kosko participated in the work. Their mentors were associate professors of the Higher School of Business and Public Administration Elena Belokurova and Ilona Pankina.

The students collected and analyzed historical materials, prepared scripts for videos, and shot videos in museums. They paid special attention to the accuracy of historical facts, emotional delivery of information, and the use of modern visualization tools. The result was three thematic videos: “Mikhail Koshkin — the creator of the T-34 tank,” “The Road and Cable of Life,” and “The Life of a Soldier According to the Diaries of a Polytechnician.” The students also designed a thematic booklet, where they included a brief summary and links to the videos. One of the project participants, a second-year student majoring in “Technology of Public Catering Products” Luka Boriskin, has been working as a tour guide at the Polytechnic Museum for the second year. Last year, Luka’s team won first place in the “Do You Know the History of Alma Mater?” competition andwas awarded a trip to Kazan.

"We decided to use two key locations — the SPbPU Museum and the Monument to the Heroic Defenders of Leningrad. For us, emotionality and clarity of presentation, inclusion of details (music, archival footage), creation of infographics, as well as competent final layout of all collected materials were important," said Yegor Bobin. "An equally important thing was the clear distribution of roles for all participants, where everyone was busy with their own thing: developing a script, searching for suitable materials in the library and museum of the Polytechnic, writing the text, editing and voicing the video. We worked the entire second semester. The team approach helped us act in a coordinated and effective manner."

"In 2025, we celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Victory," emphasized the teacher of the "Fundamentals of Project Activity" discipline, the project mentor, Associate Professor Elena Belokurova. "Our students were born in the 21st century and know about the events of more than half a century ago only from books, feature films, and stories from their grandparents. Therefore, I was happy to support the desire of Yegor Bobin's team to take part in such a significant project, to shoot a number of thematic videos, including about the chief designer of the T-34 tank Mikhail Ilyich Koshkin, a graduate of the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute. This is also a story about the contribution of the Polytechnic Institute employees to the victory. While working on the project, I realized that our modern polytechnic students understand and appreciate this, which is very important. I believe that the tradition of filming video materials about memorial sites associated with the Great Patriotic War, which was once started, will be continued and, perhaps, will take a worthy place in the Polytechnic University Museum.”

The second mentor, Ilona Pankina, last year became a prize winner of the “Best Teacher through the Eyes of Students” competition in the “Keeper of Polytechnic Traditions” nomination, and she considers it her special mission to preserve the memory of outstanding Polytechnicians and the traditions of Polytechnic.

“I was very pleased when our students responded with great enthusiasm to the proposal to create a virtual museum and prepare a series of thematic video stories,” shared Ilona Anatolyevna. “In fact, in our Higher School a project to create graphic and video content dedicated to the Great Patriotic War, dates back to 2020. Then, during the pandemic, we began to form the Alley of Military Glory, where information was collected about the relatives of our students and teachers who were at the front. During the pandemic, in-person mass events were prohibited, so this project aroused great interest and response among our students and teachers. The first video was also filmed and edited, where students read poems about the war, talked about the exploits of their ancestors, and teachers told students about their teachers who contributed to the victory in the Great Patriotic War. It is joyful to realize that our youth, students, treat the historical heritage and heroism of our victorious people with great respect and pride. Through such projects, students acquire deep knowledge of past events, developing the ability to think critically and analyze historical facts.

In order to share the results of their project and attract the attention of students from other Russian universities, the Polytechnic students took part in the 6th International Scientific Conference of Promising Developments of Young Scientists “School of Young Innovators” in Kursk and took first place.

Valeria Rekina, a graduate of the Master's program at the Civil Engineering Institute in the Design program (profile Design in Digital Marketing) from Severodvinsk, created a prototype of a mobile version of a website for multidisciplinary medical clinics. Her development won thegrant competition of the Committee on Science and Higher Education St. Petersburg and interested specialists.

As Valeria notes, the relevance of the project is made up of a combination of three aspects.

Federal project "Creation of a single digital circuit in healthcare based on the unified state information system (EGISZ)". Research in the field of medical marketing, which notes the trend of increasing consumer demand for paid medical services. The need to adapt to various interfaces of medical clinic websites.

Valeria reviewed the factors influencing the structure of medical clinic websites, and used them to evaluate existing interfaces, as well as template solutions, which became the basis for developing a value proposition. A detailed marketing study was aimed at analyzing the target audience, namely its consumer preferences, needs, and ways of interacting with the medical website. Based on this, the information architecture of the digital resource was developed, as well as additional sections and functions that were implemented in the prototype.

Valeria then conducted a three-stage prototype testing, after which it became clear that the proposed structure and navigation were more user-friendly. In addition, patterns were identified in solving typical problems by people of different age groups. After that, the UI design of the main screen was developed, demonstrating the possibilities of adapting the prototype.

Thus, as a result of the study, the factors influencing the structure of the mobile version of medical sites were systematized, proposals were formed for designing an interface aimed at users from different age groups, and an animated prototype was developed that can be used as a template solution.

As Valeria notes, the results obtained have practical value for private medical organizations in St. Petersburg that are seeking to optimize their digital services.

This topic was chosen due to existing consumer problems, such as the need to adapt to different interfaces and the complexity of information perception, which were identified during the analysis of medical institution websites. I would like to express my gratitude for the contribution to the work to the scientific director Elena Valeryevna Knyazeva and scientific consultant Marina Borisovna Yanenko. I would like to express special gratitude to Maria Valeryevna Illarionova for supervising the stages of creating the architecture and UX design of the prototype, – said Valeria Rekina.

Three RINTS articles and a presentation at scientific conferences have been published on the topic of the research. This year, at the ISI Science Week, in the Design in Industry and Information Environment section, Valeria Rekina's development was awarded a first-degree diploma.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Higher School of Industrial Management of IPMEiT became an active participant in an important industry event — the conference and exhibition "Technological Sovereignty and Import Substitution: New Energy Technologies". Three Polytechnic students passed the competitive selection and took part in the youth session "Behind the Scenes of the Energy Future: New Competencies for New Technologies".

Leading experts, government and business representatives gathered in St. Petersburg to address strategically important issues of ensuring Russia's technological sovereignty in the fuel and energy complex. The youth session became one of the key discussion platforms. It was devoted to current issues of training personnel for the energy sector of the future in the context of import substitution, digitalization and energy transition.

The session also raised issues that determine the development trajectory of the industry and education – what skills and level of specialization will be in demand, how AI will change the energy industry and professions in it, where it is most effective to train personnel for an energy breakthrough: in universities, in production or in startups.

Three students of the Higher School of Management and Management, Diana Yakimenko (4th year of the Business Administration program), Yana Mayevskaya (3rd year of the Oil and Gas Enterprise Management program), and Ilya Ushpik (1st year of the Master's program Oil and Gas Complex Management), accompanied by Associate Professor Anna Timofeeva, became active participants in the discussion.

Diana Yakimenko, addressing the Director of the Association for the Development of Renewable Energy, Alexey Zhikharev, touched upon the strategic topic of training personnel for renewable energy sources.

Ilya Ushpik raised a problem that is relevant for all fuel and energy companies: how to train managers who are capable of understanding complex technological and business processes.

Yana Mayevskaya, asking a question to the session moderator, director of work with key partners of the ANO Institute of Oil and Gas Technological Initiatives, professor of the Higher School of Management and Management Alexey Fadeev, focused on specific competencies and mechanisms for involving young people.

Session moderator Alexey Fadeyev noted the high level of student involvement: It is precisely such deep, problem-oriented questions from young people, like those voiced today by our Polytechnic students, that demonstrate a real understanding of the industry's challenges. These are not abstract discussions, but a request for specific solutions for technological sovereignty. Seeing such preparation and interest is the best guarantee that Russia's energy sector will receive a worthy replacement of managers and engineers.

Director of the Higher School of Industrial Management Olga Kalinina emphasized the importance of the topics raised at the session and their compliance with the profile of the school's industry programs: The youth session of the conference touched upon the key area of modern energy – the personnel of the future. Issues of cross-disciplinarity, management of technological changes, digital transformation, development of critical competencies in the context of import substitution – these are precisely the challenges that educational programs in management in the fuel and energy complex are aimed at solving, what we teach our students.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

This year the Polytechnic University became the leader among St. Petersburg universities in the number of first-year students enrolled in the SVO and their children. 252 applicants were admitted under a separate quota, 104 of them without entrance examinations. The university intends to continue supporting these students, providing them with existing social support measures.

Thus, out-of-town students have the right to priority accommodation in the Polytechnic dormitories. And in the future, according to the director of the Student City Vyacheslav Olshevsky, those of them who successfully master the educational program may have their living conditions improved – they may be provided with a place in a room with increased comfort.

The friendly atmosphere in the dormitories allows the students to feel like part of a large group. And if necessary, a full-time psychologist of the SPbPU Student City can always come to the rescue and provide qualified assistance, says Vyacheslav Olshevsky.

Support for children of SVO participants is systematically provided by the Department of Youth Policy and, in particular, by its structural subdivision – Psychological support center "Point of support". Qualified psychologists work with them individually and in groups. The main topics of requests are related to problems in relationships with loved ones, peers, anxiety about the future, difficulties in choice and special emotional experiences.

Thanks to individual counseling (on average, in five sessions), specialists usually manage to achieve general stabilization of the condition of the person seeking help, find resources and draw up an action plan for the near future. In group and online formats, work is carried out with already relatively stable categories: here, the topics of fears and anxieties, self-determination and other requests are worked out.

In special situations, psychologists may recommend contacting specialized doctors (neurologist, psychiatrist, psychotherapist) for more systematic and serious support.

To restore mental comfort and strength after studying, students can take advantage of discounted vouchers to the Polytechnic recreation centers.

Two seasonal:

educational and health resort "Polytechnic" in the village of Novomikhaylovsky, Tuapse district, Krasnodar region (from May to September),educational and tourist base "Polytechnic" in the village of Gory in the Leningrad region (from May to October).

And two operate all year round:

educational and historical reserve "A.G. Gagarin's Estate "Kholomki"educational and sports base of SPbPU "Polytechnic" in the village of Toksovo.

Students and employees of SPbPU, under a collective agreement, can purchase vouchers at a reduced price, and preferential categories of citizens, which include SVO participants and their family members, will receive an additional 10% discount.

The University also provides financial support to students whose parents or guardians are serving in the military or died as a result of military operations in the SVO zone. In 2024, 56 people applied for assistance, the same number in 2025. The total amount of payments for two years was 2,895,000 rubles.

In the Kalininsky district of St. Petersburg, repair work on Khlopina Street has been completed. The issue of the need to renew the road surface was raised atpersonal reception of citizens, which the Governor of St. Petersburg Alexander Beglov held on November 29, 2024. Then the city leadership was addressed by the Associate Professor of the Higher School of Public Administration, Deputy Director of the Institute of Mechanics and Technology, Maxim Ivanov. On the instructions of the Governor, a large-scale set of measures was implemented to improve street infrastructure.

During the repair the following works were carried out:

More than 7,000 square meters of road surface and sidewalks were renewed; new thermoplastic markings were applied; speed bumps were installed to improve safety; curbstones were lowered to provide an accessible environment for people with limited mobility, elderly people, and parents with strollers.

The repairs were completed within the established timeframe and in compliance with the required quality standards.

The Governor of St. Petersburg noted that over 108 thousand people live within the boundaries of the Akademicheskoe municipal district, where Khlopina Street runs. The importance of the work carried out is also due to the fact that by the end of 2025, a major overhaul of Gzhatskaya Street, which intersects with Khlopina, will be completed. The new circuit will ensure movement around the microdistrict without exiting onto key highways – Grazhdansky Prospekt and Prospekt Nepokorennykh.

When we talk about the comfort and safety of the urban environment, it is important not only to develop initiatives in theory, but also to achieve their practical implementation. It is nice to see that our proposal was heard and implemented. This is an example of how science and government can work in the interests of society. Together – to a comfortable and safe St. Petersburg! Together we make the city better. Only forward! – said Maxim Ivanov.

The implementation of the project has become a vivid example of effective interaction between the government, the scientific community and citizens. Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade and the Higher School of Public Administration continue to contribute to the development of the urban environment, and the student association "Public Administration Laboratory" demonstrates the practical significance of applied research in the field of state and municipal administration.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The student archaeological team "Argo" went to the Samara region for the work season to work as volunteers in the "Ancient World" archaeological park near the village of Kamenny Brod and to take part in the Middle Volga archaeological expedition in the village of Vlast Truda.

As a rule, archaeological teams are engaged in excavations, but in the "Ancient World" the Argonauts had other tasks: landscaping the territory, restoring the historical complex after a fire, making bricks, cutting down trees for sanitary purposes, building a Botai dwelling and providing various types of assistance to museum staff.

The second place of work – the Middle Volga AE – has already become a habit: here the guys, armed with shovels and scrapers, are engaged in the search for artifacts from the times of the Khazar Khaganate.

And in their free time, students participate in master classes on clay modeling, fabric stamping, fight with training swords, and interact with domestic animals. They also enrich their geographical horizons – they visited Samara and Novokuibyshevsk, visited local attractions and an aquatic center.

"This is my first year in the squad movement and my first archaeological season. I was very worried the whole time, and especially after receiving the tickets in my hands – I'm definitely going, this will definitely happen, and the main thing is not to chicken out," shared Polina Yashchenko, candidate of the SAO "Argo". – As it turned out, my worries were mostly in vain. I only forgot my headlamp, thanks to which I could admire the stars all night long. We went to Samara to first work in the "Ancient World" archaeological center, where we helped create Neolithic buildings and arrange the territory for visitors. Then we had excavations – I was terribly afraid that it would be difficult to work with a shovel if I was not used to it, but the squad helped me cope with this."
