On October 14, Orthodox Christians celebrate one of the great feasts of the twelve feasts – the Protection of the Holy Mother of God.

The holiday is based on the legend of the miraculous salvation of Christians from a pagan invasion in Constantinople in the mid-10th century. The city was besieged by enemies, and people gathered in the Blachernae Church to pray. Among them was Andrew, the fool-for-Christ from Constantinople. According to his life, he was the first to see the Mother of God walking across the sky, surrounded by saints and angels. The Most Pure One began to pray for the salvation of Christians, and then spread a maphorion—a woman's veil covering her head and shoulders—over them. According to legend, a storm arose that night, and the enemy ships retreated from Constantinople without a fight.

This is how the Feast of the Intercession of the Mother of God came into being. On this day, believers celebrate the spiritual protection that the Mother of God provides to all those in need and disadvantaged.

For Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, the Feast of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin has a special, symbolic significance. Until 2018, it was celebrated on October 1st according to the Julian calendar then in use in the Russian Empire. In 1902, it was on October 1st, the Feast of the Intercession, that the consecration of the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute took place. The clergy of the Novosiltsevskaya Church held a service in the assembly hall, and the building was sprinkled with holy water. At the opening ceremony, the government was represented by Pyotr Mikhailovich Romanov, the head of the Ministry of Finance, deputy minister, and privy councilor, who declared the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute open.

On behalf of all those present at the service, Pyotr Mikhailovich sent a telegram to Emperor Nicholas II, who was in Livadia at the time: "Today, the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute, erected by the will of Your Imperial Majesty, was consecrated—classes will begin there tomorrow. The director, professors, and students of the institute ask me to lay at the feet of Your Imperial Majesty their feelings of boundless devotion and gratitude for the gift of an institution of higher learning, so generously endowed by Your Highest Grace, and to report to Your Majesty that they will make every effort to fulfill their duty and dedicate themselves to the cause of good education. I humbly submit this to Your Imperial Majesty."

The next day, before classes began, Grigory Petrov, the artillery school's religious teacher and preacher, held a prayer service in the assembly hall. Then, Andrei Gagarin, the institute's director, addressed the students. Here's an excerpt from his speech: "You are the first; with your participation, the traditions of our institute will be established. Therefore, strive to ensure that it becomes a proud and stable member of its elder brothers. For its life to flow correctly, you must consciously exercise self-discipline. Follow the institute's rules and the instructions of myself and the faculty. Feel free to contact us if you have any difficulties. In us, you will always find support and assistance."

The first lecture on theoretical mechanics for students in the technical departments was given by Ivan Vsevolodovich Meshchersky, the founder of the mechanics of variable systems and a member of the St. Petersburg Mathematical Society. In one of the larger auditoriums, Professor Alexander Sergeevich Posnikov gave a lecture on political economy to students in the economics department.

On October 2, 1902, the Polytechnic received a telegram from Emperor Nicholas II in Livadia: "I sincerely wish success to the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute, which opened today, and I thank the director, professors, teachers, and students for the sentiments they have all expressed." Nicholas.

Ten years later, on June 6 (June 19, new style), 1912, a church was laid at the Emperor Peter the Great Polytechnic Institute in honor of the Feast of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin—the institute's opening day. The church was consecrated on December 15 (December 28, new style), 1913. Today, it is an active church at the Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University.

The annual meeting between students and representatives of JSC Power Machines was held at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. Participants were briefed on the Student Design Bureau's (SDB) work and the requirements for the sixth intake of the program.

This year the project reached a new level: after winning the federal competition for subsidies in the Student Design Leadership track at SKB Power Machines – Polytech became part of the SKB "System Engineering" ecosystem. This structure unites student teams working on engineering problems with the primary goal of training motivated and qualified engineers. The ecosystem was presented to the students by the head of the Student Design Bureau "System Engineering." Alena AleshinaShe emphasized that the project includes several areas and cross-cutting trajectories for teams from different fields.

Compared to last year, the scope of work at SKB Power Machines – Polytech has significantly expanded. Three key areas have been established: SKB Power Engineering (gas and steam turbines, as well as hydraulic machines); SKB Electrical Engineering (a turbogenerator area has been expanded to include a hydrogenerator area, and a new area has been established for the development of electrical apparatus and electrical insulation); and SKB Mechanical Engineering Technologies (electrical and power machine production technologies for the Electrosila and LMZ plants).

This year, 21 students from the "Power Machines" program joined the program. They are studying programs in steam and gas turbines, electrical machines, and design and engineering support for mechanical engineering production. In their third and fourth years, they master vocational skills, after which they move on to more in-depth design and calculation problems. In 2025, the total enrollment across all programs will be approximately 40 students.

Each participant is assigned two mentors: from SPbPU – graduate students and faculty with experience in R&D, from Power Machines – active engineers and experts.

This is a unique opportunity for students to work on real-world problems in a professional environment, utilize modern educational facilities, and receive support in their research and practical work. Participants become part of the company's corporate culture and have the opportunity to accelerate their career development at one of the country's leading power engineering companies.

"We don't just invite students to the project; we give them the opportunity to launch a career as a future engineer," says Darya Lycheva, the project coordinator for Power Machines. "Here, they'll solve real-world problems, make mistakes, and correct them under the guidance of experienced mentors. This is the kind of experience that can't be gained from university lectures alone, and it's precisely this that helps our graduates quickly develop into professionals."

The next stage of the program officially begins in November 2025 and will last two years. Each year, SKB participants will complete a corresponding professional training program, eventually receiving diplomas upon successful defense of their final projects before the heads of relevant departments at Power Machines.

Each student signs an employment contract with JSC Power Machines for the duration of their participation. This allows them to combine study and work, taking into account their class schedule. From the first few months, participants receive a stable salary and additional performance-based bonuses. Additionally, a benefits package is provided, including voluntary health insurance, meal reimbursement, and a hybrid work arrangement—students spend part of their time at the university and part of their time at the company's production facilities.

Special attention was paid to targeted contracts at the meeting. For students who successfully complete the probationary period and demonstrate their commitment, the company guarantees a monthly stipend for the entire duration of their studies and subsequent employment as a Category 3 design engineer. In exchange, graduates agree to work for the company for two to three years (depending on their year of entry into the program). This approach ensures that the knowledge acquired at SKB is relevant to real-world engineering practice.

Success stories were a key focus of the meeting. One example: Polytechnic University graduate Alexander Yemelyanov began his career at SKB and, in three years, rose from a program participant to a second-category software engineer at the control software development bureau. Alexander noted that his experience at SKB helped him quickly adapt to the profession, taught him how to solve complex applied problems, and laid the foundation for his rapid career advancement.

The organizers emphasized that participation in the program is much more than just studying and working. Power Machines traditionally focuses on employee development and fostering a positive corporate environment. Young professionals participate in engineering competitions, scientific and technical conferences, leadership schools, and sports and creative events. All this not only develops professional competencies but also fosters the team spirit essential in a large industrial company.

Meet Day became the starting point for a series of events. On October 7, students completed an online career intensive, and on October 10, One Day Offer was held at the Leningrad Metal Plant—a day when you can receive a job offer immediately after an interview. Participants will then undergo three months of practical work, and in February 2026, an interim Demo Day will be held, where the students will present their projects and results to company experts.

SKB Power Machines – Polytech is an example of successful collaboration between university and industry, enabling students to launch their careers while still studying and take a confident step into the future.
