The St. Petersburg Polytechnic University Institute of Civil Engineering, together with the developer RBI Group, organized an introductory internship for master's students in the international educational program "Civil Engineering." During the internship, the students visited the construction site of the Kuindzhi residential complex.

The event was attended by second-year master's students from 11 countries: China, Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, Ethiopia, Burundi, Zimbabwe, Sudan, Nigeria, Cameroon, and Afghanistan, as well as their Russian classmates. The tour was led by Natalia Braila, Associate Professor at the Institute of Hydrotechnical and Power Engineering (ISI) and Head of the Educational Program.

A visit to the residential complex under construction provided a unique opportunity for students to observe the modern construction methods and technologies used by leading developers in St. Petersburg today: from modern engineering systems to landscaping, structural systems, energy-efficient facades and translucent structures, digital coordination via a BIM model, and tender process management.

St. Petersburg has historically been and remains a place for implementing the most advanced technologies, from the construction of the first brick buildings on Vasilievsky Island to the construction of Europe's tallest skyscraper. Our goal, as one of the oldest technical universities in the country, is to share our achievements with talented specialists from friendly countries, who can contribute to the development of their own countries and bring their original ideas to our land. And it's important to us that we have the support of St. Petersburg's leading developers in this endeavor," emphasized SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy.

The tour was led by Sergey Neelov, Head of the RBI Group's Engineering Team, and Taisiya Zelenkova, Director of Information Policy and Communications at RBI Group. During the visit, the specialists explained the project's features to the students and answered their questions.

The event included a tour of the facility's main areas: the architectural design and layout of the exterior, underground parking, apartment units, and the technical rooms supporting the building's utility systems. Of particular interest was the opportunity to examine the utility systems during the installation phase, prior to finishing work, allowing future specialists to thoroughly examine the logic behind the systems' placement and operating principles.

The graduate students also learned about the concept behind the residential complex's name. They were introduced to the philosophy behind the name "Kuindzhi," which reflects the connection between the building's architectural image and the creative legacy of artist Arkhip Kuindzhi, renowned for his mastery of light and color. This example demonstrated the potential for integrating artistic and engineering approaches in creating a comfortable urban environment.

Our mission is not only to develop urban areas through our projects but also to pass on our experience to talented young people and future generations. We actively collaborate with the Polytechnic University, holding lectures and discussions, and now also practical tours for young engineers and construction workers. Without this transfer of experience, the further development of the industry, and with it the development of the economy and the country, would be impossible," noted Eduard Tiktinsky, President of the RBI Group and Honorary Professor of SPbPU.

Eduard Tiktinsky more than once met with students of SPbPU and gave lectures. At these meetings, he shares his experiences, secrets of personal effectiveness and developing new skills with students, helping them find their path and profession. Since 2025, the President of RBI has held the title Honorary Professor of SPbPUEduard Tiktinsky is also known for his support of young entrepreneurs and as an expert in education. In 2017, he initiated the creation of the non-profit educational project "School of Future Leaders" for talented and motivated high school students. It now brings together over 200 participants—schoolchildren, students, and university graduates. Eduard Tiktinsky's lectures, presentations, and discussions at various business clubs invariably draw full houses.

"It was a fantastic experience for our group. Watching the construction of a residential complex in real life, especially with the team working diligently even in the snow, was fascinating and inspiring," noted Master's student Anas Ahmed.

"I really enjoyed the tour, from the beautiful façade to the underground parking, water supply, heating, and low-voltage systems, apartments, and the control room. For me, it was a clear confirmation of the high level of the Russian engineering school, which my mentor in Nigeria, architect Christian Uloko, had told me about," commented master's student Ndur Aondona Elijah.

"The tour of the RBI construction site was a profound practical lesson in quality, safety, and organizational discipline in modern construction. We saw all the key areas of the site—from the underground parking garage with utility systems to the apartment. I was particularly impressed by RBI's philosophy—a balance of innovation and strict control that allows for the creation of reliable and beautiful buildings. For me, as a future engineer, this visit was clear confirmation that construction is not just about calculations and materials, but about respect for the plan and uncompromising quality at every stage. I thank the Institute of Strategic Studies and RBI for this invaluable experience," said Master's student Umar Khazrat.

Engineers from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University are implementing advanced numerical methods and approaches in the design of nuclear power plants. Their use will significantly reduce the cost of constructing new nuclear power plants. The development is being conducted in partnership with JSC NIKIET and JSC Obukhov Plant, with support from the federal program "Priority 2030."

Nuclear power plant design traditionally relies on conservative, simplified mathematical models and approaches developed in the context of underdeveloped numerical methods for describing nonlinear, physically related processes. This necessitated the introduction of significant safety factors, for example, when selecting cladding thicknesses, calculating maximum loads and operating conditions, etc. SPbPU engineers are developing and implementing advanced numerical methods and approaches based on modern finite element analysis programs into the NPP design process, enabling accurate and computationally efficient description of the complex multiphysical processes occurring during NPP operation.

Specifically, Polytechnic researchers are developing methods for assessing the strength of NPP structural elements under seismic and extreme conditions. In such calculations, accurately describing the interaction between the soil foundation and the structure is particularly important. The developers used a dynamic substructure synthesis method, which allows for the condensation of a large-scale computational model consisting of tens and hundreds of thousands of elements down to a single "superelement" that fully describes the behavior of the original computational model. This significantly increases computational efficiency. By using the substructure method, the computational model of the BR-1200 reactor unit vessel (KBR RU BR-1200), consisting of over 600,000 elements, was reduced to less than 10,000, increasing the speed of determining equipment loads under seismic and other external dynamic impacts by more than 80%.

The developed methodology for modeling the "structure-foundation" system takes into account the actual spatial distribution and actual values of the dynamic stiffness and dissipative properties of the soil foundation. The applied approach enables modeling the dynamic two-way interaction of the structure's foundation slab with the soil foundation, ensuring accurate assessment of the amplitudes and spectral composition of seismic movements at the elevations of the reactor vessel base and the internal equipment.

Thanks to detailed modeling of wave processes in the soil, we were able to refine seismic load estimates and determine that the actual loads are more than half those determined using the standards incorporated into the traditional approach to their calculation. Further development and automation of the applied approaches and their integration into industry standards are planned.

"Our developments allow us to reduce the economic costs of nuclear power plant construction by reducing the metal content of structures without compromising strength, as well as identifying structural areas requiring reinforcement without expensive full-scale testing. Ultimately, all of this contributes to Russia's technological leadership in the energy sector in implementing the closed fuel cycle concept," commented Viktor Modestov, Director of the Scientific and Educational Center for Digital Engineering in Nuclear and Thermal Energy at the St. Petersburg Polytechnical School.

Leading researchers, engineers, and teachers from the Scientific and Educational Center for Digital Engineering in Nuclear and Fusion Energy at SPbPU's PISh and the SPbPU Institute of Physics and Mechanics are participating in the work: Alexey Lukin, Roman Fedorenko, Ilnar Murtazin, Alexey Kudryavtsev, Ivan Popov, Alexander Lobachev, Pavel Udalov, and Nadezhda Piskun.

Advanced engineering methods are integrated into the curriculum of the Master's program "Digital Engineering in Nuclear and Fusion Energy" (15.04.03 "Applied Mechanics"). The program is offered at the Advanced Engineering School "Digital Engineering" and was developed jointly with industrial partners: JSC Atomenergoproekt, JSC NIKIET, the A.F. Ioffe Physical-Technical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and the G.I. Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

The future plans of the specialists at St. Petersburg Polytechnic University include developing a method for calculating the vibration strength of the reactor block housing, taking into account the two-way hydroelastic interaction of the structural elements with the liquid metal coolant.

A meeting between graduating students of the Polytechnic University and representatives of the Russian Ministry of Defense responsible for conscription and contract military service took place in the White Hall. The event was specifically organized for young people whose military deferments expire after completing their studies at the university, so they could plan their future actions in advance.

The first part of the meeting was devoted to conscription and the legal nuances involved. Alexey Vasiliev, Head of the Conscription Department of the Kalininsky District Military Commissioner's Office in St. Petersburg, addressed the participants.

He reminded that every conscript must have a registration certificate from the military registration and enlistment office at their place of registration. This is usually received at age 17. A young man can be called up for service in the Armed Forces from age 18. If they are studying at a university, they are eligible for a deferment. To obtain one, they must provide the military registration and enlistment office with a certificate confirming their enrollment. The date of their next enlistment will also be indicated on the registration certificate.

The deferment ends immediately after graduation. Typically, the term of study on the certificate is stated as ending in August 31st. However, most students defend their diplomas in June, and after graduation, they may be called up for military service. They are required to report to the military registration and enlistment office within two weeks and undergo a medical examination. However, they have the right to take a vacation leave, during which they will remain enrolled at the university for another two months. To confirm their eligibility for the deferment, they must apply for a vacation leave with the academic department and bring the certificate to the military registration and enlistment office.

It's best to do this, as otherwise the consequences will follow quite quickly. As soon as the expulsion order is issued, the military enlistment office will be notified of it. Since the unified military registry has been launched in Russia, a summons will be posted there, specifying when to report to the military enlistment office. The graduate will receive a notification of this in their personal account on Gosuslugi. On the day the summons is posted, the citizen's right to leave the Russian Federation is automatically restricted. Failure to appear on the specified date, according to the Code of Administrative Offenses, carries a fine of 10,000 to 30,000 rubles. The military enlistment office also has the right to impose restrictive measures within 20 days, such as blocking driver's licenses, bank accounts, money transfers, etc.

So, it's better to be on the safe side by taking a vacation leave and then decide what to do next. For example, a bachelor's degree graduate can enroll in a master's degree program and receive a deferment for another two years. Admission to a doctoral program guarantees a further deferment. The doctoral student is given an additional year to defend their dissertation. Along with the degree, the candidate receives a military ID and is enlisted in the reserves.

Those who have completed a specialist program can follow the same path. There is, however, a caveat. Part of the specialist program ends in February, and graduates are subject to conscription on March 1. Therefore, it's worth considering applying for compulsory military service, for example, in one of the scientific companies. This can be done on the Russian Ministry of Defense website.

The advantages of conscript service in scientific companies were discussed in the second part of the meeting. These units were established in 2013 at military institutes: the scientific company of the Navy, the scientific company of the Ground Forces, the scientific company of the Main Communications Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces, the scientific company of the Logistics Headquarters of the Russian Armed Forces, and others. Subsequently, several scientific companies were formed at the ERA Military Innovation Technopolis in Anapa, each with a specific focus.

Captain Second Rank Anton Sokolov, Deputy Head of the Selection Committee for Scientific Company No. 1 of the Navy—a division of the Admiral N. G. Kuznetsov Naval Academy—explained how to enlist in the scientific company, the requirements for candidates, the departments and specialties available, and the living conditions of the cadets. Anton Grigoryevich clarified that graduates of military training centers at universities and those who have received a military registration specialty through the DOSAAF system are not accepted. He also noted that the company has a specific policy: work with candidates begins a month earlier than the main conscription campaign. This means that the application process ends at the end of March. The same applies to the fall conscription.

Polytechnic University graduates have served and continue to serve in the Navy's scientific company. Several cadets attended the meeting, who spoke with current students afterward and answered all their questions.

The scientific company of the Main Communications Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces was formed in 2017 at the Military Academy of Communications, located near the Polytechnic University. Stanislav Tarasenko, head of the recruitment team for the scientific company of the Main Communications Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces, provided general information about the company's research focus and offered to organize a separate meeting with those interested in serving their military service there. He also invited Polytechnic students on a tour of the Military Academy of Communications. Stanislav emphasized that the academy is committed to ensuring that the year of conscript service for university graduates becomes a natural continuation of their scientific work, and that after completing their service, they can successfully find employment, including at defense industry enterprises, or become civilian research fellows at educational institutions of the Ministry of Defense, or sign a contract conferring the military rank of lieutenant and find officer positions at the academy or military research institutes.

At the end of the meeting, the students learned in detail about contract service in the unmanned systems forces created in 2025. Dmitry Bykovsky, a specialist in unmanned systems at the contract service selection center and a 2024 graduate of the State University of Aircraft Instrument Engineering, explained the details. He outlined the benefits of this type of military service specifically for students and added that payments for contract soldiers have recently increased: One year of service can earn 7,000,000 rubles.
