Federal highways form the backbone of the country's transport system. Regional roads, which connect district and regional centers and provide access to important facilities, often serve as access routes to them. For Donbas and Novorossiya, comprehensive road renovation at all levels is a key factor in dynamic development. For example, in the Donetsk People's Republic, under the supervision of the State Company "Avtodor," major repairs have begun on a 38-kilometer section of regional road from Volnovakha to the federal highway R-150. This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"Work continues in the reunited regions to bring road infrastructure up to standard. Each road or route subject to reconstruction or repair is outlined in the signed programs. These programs propose an approach to upgrading the federal, regional, and road networks that will ensure the integration of the regions into the national space and impact economic development, logistics, and tourism. Road workers have currently begun major repairs on a section of the regional highway linking Volnovakha with the R-150. Previously, a 24-kilometer section of the R-150 highway, connecting Luhansk with Donetsk, which is in high demand among local residents, was brought up to standard," the Deputy Prime Minister explained.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that work is also currently ongoing on the 30 km bypass of Donetsk, which is part of the R-150 Belgorod-Starobelsk-Lugansk-Donetsk-Mariupol road.

"Work on this section of the highway is scheduled for completion by the end of this year. The project includes laying two layers of asphalt concrete, applying road markings, installing curbs, and road signs. It's also worth noting that the "Memory of Road Heroes" monument, built by Avtodor and contractors, is located nearby," explained Vyacheslav Petushenko, Chairman of the Board of the state-owned company Avtodor.

Since March 1, 2025, when the law allowing for the use of escrow accounts in individual housing construction (IHC) came into force, more than 8,800 private homes have been built using this mechanism, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported.

"We see a strong interest among people in living in their own homes. The record 63.5 million square meters of individual housing construction completed last year clearly demonstrates this. At the President's direction, a set of measures for the development of individual housing construction through 2030 has been approved to ensure this trend receives further support. It is crucial that this growing sector be as reliable as possible for citizens. That's why, a year ago, the escrow account mechanism was extended to individual construction, which has proven successful in the construction of multi-family housing. In the first year of the law's implementation, more than 8,800 private homes were built using escrow accounts. Also during this time, 22,800 contracts using escrow accounts were signed for the construction of individual homes, totaling 2.4 million square meters," said Marat Khusnullin.

Currently, the use of escrow accounts is mandatory when constructing private homes using credit funds under preferential mortgage programs.

The portal stroim.dom.rf has become a unified digital platform for building houses using a protective mechanism.

"We are creating a user-friendly digital infrastructure for a civilized individual housing construction market. Today, more than 10,500 contractors are offering their projects on the stroim.dom.rf portal, and citizens have access to over 42,000 home options for secure construction using escrow," noted Vitaly Mutko, CEO of DOM.RF.

As a reminder, an escrow account in construction provides a secure payment method. The buyer deposits funds into a special bank account, and the developer receives them only after construction is completed and the building is commissioned. This guarantees the safety of funds and protects the buyer from loss in the event of missed deadlines or the company's bankruptcy.

From March 2 to April 16, applications are open for the "Region for Young People" competition for comprehensive development programs in Russia's regions. Rosmolodezh is conducting the competition at the request of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"Thanks to the presidential program 'Region for Young People', part of the national project 'Youth and Children,' more than 250 youth centers have been modernized across the country since 2022, and another 95 will be renovated this year. This season, the winning regions will be able to receive up to 250 million rubles to create and improve youth spaces, host events, and train youth policy staff. This will create additional opportunities for realizing the potential and developing the talents of our younger generation," noted Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

This year marks the fifth time the "Region for Young People" competition is being held. Its key objective is to drive transformational change in youth policy in Russia's regions. Regions, with the direct participation of young people, are developing projects and programs aimed at creating modern platforms for the self-fulfillment of the younger generation, developing the professional competencies of industry specialists, and widely informing young people about existing support measures. Thanks to the program, youth policy infrastructure is also being updated in Russia's regions, creating modern centers of attraction for children and young people.

"For us, the 'Region for Young People' program isn't just about renovating our facilities; it's also about imbuing them with meaning. These are spaces where young people can find their passion, like-minded people, mentors, and opportunities for growth and self-realization. Over the four years of the program's implementation, 79 winning regions have received support. More than 12,800 events have been held at the renovated youth centers, reaching over 30.5 million people," noted Grigory Gurov, head of Rosmolodezh.

To participate in the competition, a region must submit a package of documents, including information about the youth centers planned for renovation (there may be several), as well as a comprehensive plan for substantive work. This plan includes events and forums for young people, analytical research, methodological developments, and continuing professional education programs for industry specialists.

The application must be signed by the head of the region and submitted to Rosmolodezh within the specified deadline. The competition results will be announced in June 2026.

In addition, Rosmolodezh, in collaboration with the online publication Lenta.ru, launched an interactive map of youth centers across Russia.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

In 2026, the International Institute for Monitoring Democracy Development of the CIS Interparliamentary Assembly (IIMDD IPA CIS) celebrated its 20th anniversary. The IMDD was established to exchange information, summarize best practices in the development of democracy and parliamentarism, and respect for citizens' electoral rights. It has four branches (Baku, Bishkek, Yerevan, and Chisinau).

Andrey Rudskoy, Rector of the Polytechnic University, congratulated Dmitry Kobitsky, Secretary-General and Head of the Secretariat of the Council of the Interparliamentary Assembly of the Member Nations of the Commonwealth of Independent States, on the institute's anniversary. Andrey Ivanovich noted that the IIMRD's current activities represent a significant contribution to the development of parliamentary traditions and the strengthening of the rule of law in the Commonwealth states. In the year of its 20th anniversary, the institute is rightfully the pride of the Interparliamentary Assembly and a symbol of its commitment to deepening integration and mutual trust. The Rector of SPbPU emphasized that, as Chairman of the Expert Council on Science and Education at the IPA CIS, he sees how, thanks to the institute's immediate director, Professor Ivan Mushket, the IIMRD has not only strengthened its position but also significantly expanded its horizons. The director of the institute has managed to unite a highly professional community around him, whose daily work serves to improve legislation, implement democratic standards, and foster a legal culture among citizens.

In honor of the IIMRD's anniversary, the International Scientific and Practical Conference "Forming Trust in the Institution of Elections and Referendums: The Role of International Observation" was held at the Tauride Palace.

The event brought together parliamentarians, leaders and representatives of international organizations, government bodies and election administration agencies, public organizations, as well as scholars and experts from both CIS member states and other regions of the world.

Valentina Matvienko, Chairperson of the IPA CIS Council and Chairperson of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, sent a greeting to the participants.

Welcoming remarks were also delivered by the Chairman of the CIS Economic Court, German Nurbaev; the Secretary General of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Nurlan Yermekbaev; the Executive Secretary of the CSTO Parliamentary Assembly and Head of the CSTO PA Secretariat, Sergei Pospelov; the Chairman of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Belarus, Sergei Sivets; and the Chairman of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, Valery Zorkin.

CIS Secretary-General Sergey Lebedev noted the IPA CIS's effective participation in monitoring elections and referendums, which enables analysis and objective assessment of the development of the electoral sphere in the Commonwealth.

The event was moderated by Ivan Mushket.

One of the key events was Dmitry Kobitsky's presentation on "International Election and Referendum Observation in a Multipolar World: Objectivity and Trust." International observation should not be an instrument of surveillance or pressure, but a platform for equal professional dialogue, based on voluntariness, reciprocity, and respect for sovereignty. These principles are enshrined in key CIS documents: the 2002 Convention and the 2008 IPA CIS Declaration, which set standards for impartial and constructive monitoring. Over 32 years, the CIS Interparliamentary Assembly has participated in the observation of 167 election campaigns, and the International Institute for Monitoring Democracy Development, established in 2006, provides methodological, analytical, and scientific support for these missions. This accumulated experience allows us not only to improve observation within the Commonwealth but also to participate in monitoring beyond its borders.

Representatives of the Polytechnic University are traditionally included among the expert observers from the CIS IPA.

A roundtable discussion entitled "Artificial Intelligence and Its Application in the Electoral Process: A Comprehensive Approach and Legislative Regulation" was held at the International Scientific and Practical Conference, chaired by Dmitry Mokhorov, Director of the Higher School of Law and Forensic Science at SPbPU. The discussion attracted the attention of specialists in electoral law and the electoral process in the Commonwealth of Independent States. The panel featured over 20 presentations on current issues related to the use of artificial intelligence in the electoral process and its legal regulation. Participants placed particular emphasis on countering election influence in all its forms, including through the use of modern technologies and artificial intelligence.

Faculty and students from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University took part in the conference.

Karina Sarkisova and Zlata Zolotykh

St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (SPbGASU) Master's students Zlata Zolotykh and Karina Sarkisova have received a grant from the President of Russia to conduct research in the field of construction and transport infrastructure.

Study of reinforced concrete structures

Zlata Zolotykh is a first-year Master's student in the Faculty of Civil Engineering, majoring in Reinforced Concrete and Masonry Structure Design. The grant was awarded for the publication of research articles in peer-reviewed journals of the Higher Attestation Commission (HAC) and the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI), as well as for the results of research begun during her undergraduate studies.

Zlata of Golden

The master's student's research topic is to clarify the parameters for the opening of inclined cracks in the support zones of reinforced concrete structures. The relevance of this work is due to the lack of a suitable calculation method in current regulatory documentation. Clarifying the calculation parameters will optimize the design and avoid unnecessary overuse of transverse reinforcement while maintaining the required level of safety and serviceability of the structures. The study will examine the performance of both traditional reinforced concrete and fiber-reinforced concrete structures. A program of experimental studies is being developed for beam specimens, which will be tested under transverse forces to determine the opening width of inclined cracks.

Zlata emphasizes that receiving the grant was an important confirmation of her professional growth and opened up opportunities for implementing larger-scale scientific projects.

She notes the significant support of the university's faculty, including the research supervisor, Associate Professor of the Department of Reinforced Concrete and Masonry Structures, Candidate of Technical Sciences Natalia Sergeevna Vorontsova, Deputy Dean for Educational Work of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Senior Lecturer Anna Alekseevna Tsarenko, and Lecturer, Associate Professor of the Department of Technosphere Safety, Candidate of Technical Sciences Alexander Sergeevich Glukhanov.

The problem of transport accessibility of new districts

Karina Sarkisova is a first-year Master's student in Highway Construction. She previously completed a Bachelor's degree in Transport Process Technology. Her research interests focus on transport accessibility in new urban areas.

Karina Sarkisova

A major milestone in her academic career was winning the All-Russian "I Am a Professional" Olympiad in the "Transport" category, after which she was invited to apply for a presidential grant. Four research papers in Higher Attestation Commission (HAC) publications and Olympiad results were submitted for the competition.

Karina's research aims to create an integrated platform for assessing the transport accessibility of territories. The model takes into account 19 indicators covering public and private transport, cycling and personal mobility, pedestrian infrastructure, and transport network development parameters. The final assessment is converted into relative values and expressed on a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 represents the worst level of transport accessibility and 10 represents excellent.

The development was conducted using St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region as examples; the results obtained demonstrated consistency with the actual transport situation. For the platform to function correctly, regular updates of road and public transport congestion data (at least twice a year) are required. The system can also be applied to other regions by introducing adjustment factors that take into account the level of motorization, population size, and other regional characteristics.

The study aims to address a pressing issue: existing methods for assessing transport accessibility fail to account for rapid changes in the urban environment, including the growth of remote employment, the share of vacant housing in residential complexes, and a number of other factors. Furthermore, development practices often overstate transport accessibility indicators. The creation of the platform allows for greater transparency and objectivity in assessments.

The development is designed for use by developers and government agencies. When low indicators are identified, the system generates practical recommendations for improving the transport situation. The platform continues to evolve and be supplemented with new analytical tools.

Karina Sarkisova is assisted in the implementation of her research projects by her academic advisors: Associate Professor of the Department of Transport Systems and Road and Bridge Construction, Candidate of Technical Sciences Alexander Aleksandrovich Belekhov, Associate Professor of the same department, Candidate of Technical Sciences Natalya Vladimirovna Chernykh, as well as the Head of the Department, Doctor of Technical Sciences Stanislav Sergeevich Evtyukov.

Karina notes that receiving the grant was important recognition of the work she had done and additional motivation for further research and professional development.

Recognition of the scientific potential of young researchers

For both master's students, the victory was a significant step in their professional development and an opportunity to continue their scientific research at a higher level.

Zlata Zolotykh believes that achieving big goals begins with consistent steps and belief in one's own ideas. Karina Sarkisova emphasizes that participating in competitions requires persistence but brings valuable experience and new opportunities.

Receiving a grant from the President of the Russian Federation confirms the high level of training of the university's students and their contribution to the development of modern construction and transport science.
