Marathon participants

On February 5, SPbGASU students participated in the educational marathon "Russia – a Family of Families," organized by the Russian Society "Knowledge" and timed to coincide with the launch of the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia. The marathon, held at the National Center "Russia" in Moscow, brought together over 5,000 young people representing 194 nationalities of the Russian Federation, as well as guests from neighboring countries. Among the participants were students from our university: representatives of student associations, scholarship holders, and winners of federal and regional competitions.

The marathon included a ceremony to open the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia, at which Vladimir Putin spoke. The President greeted the marathon participants, noting the shared values and goals of the peoples of Russia.

Fourth-year students of the Faculty of Forensic Expertise and Law in Construction and Transport at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Renata Khazhieva and Karina Liu-Liang-Min, represented the peoples of Bashkortostan and Udmurtia, and participated in the opening ceremony of the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia.

"The ceremony was magical: all participants were wearing national costumes and were charged with a shared energy. The unity of our peoples and true patriotism were palpable. I felt incredible pride in living in such a great country. I want to express my gratitude to our university for the opportunity to attend such a significant event for the entire country," Karina said of her impressions.

The marathon featured a variety of educational events, including lectures, film screenings, concerts, creative events, meetings with representatives of science, culture, and education, and flash mobs. The forum became a platform for opportunities where everyone could realize their potential and attend events that suited their preferences and interests.

"I especially remember the library, where you could browse books from all over our country, which was extremely interesting. I also enjoyed the interactive part, where many participants in national costumes united in a single dance of friendship between peoples," said Oleg Yatskovets, a sixth-year student in the Civil Engineering Department, about his impressions.

A RUDN University graduate student has developed a "green" method for improving the quality of medicinal substances.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Peoples'Friendship University of Russia

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Ekaterina Kuzmina, a postgraduate student in the Department of Pharmaceutical and Toxicological Chemistry at RUDN University, successfully defended her PhD thesis on an innovative method for improving the properties of existing drugs. Rather than creating new molecules from scratch, her research suggests modifying existing drugs through mechanical activation of the drug substance.

The essence of the breakthrough

The study focuses on lacosamide, a substance used to treat epilepsy. Ekaterina developed a method for mechanically activating its powder in a special activator mill. Just as intense mixing can alter the properties of a material, controlled, high-intensity mechanical action alters the structure and properties of drug particles at the microscopic level.

What does this mean in practice?

Accelerated action: the processed powder dissolves 2.4 times faster than the original; the active ingredient is released into the dissolution medium faster than the original lacosamide, which is not subject to mechanical activation. This means the drug can begin to act in the body significantly faster. "Green" technology: the method does not use toxic solvents and does not create hazardous waste, which is consistent with sustainable development principles. Cost-effectiveness: improving the properties of an existing drug is faster and cheaper than developing a new one from scratch.

Responding to global challenges

Ekaterina's work addresses several important issues in modern medicine and pharmaceuticals. These include the fight against drug resistance, as many epilepsy patients develop resistance to therapy. Improved drug properties could help overcome this barrier.

Furthermore, her method reduces drug development time. Creating a new drug typically takes 10-15 years, but modifying an already known and proven molecule significantly speeds up the process.

And the already mentioned advantage is the environmentally friendly nature of production. This method sets new standards for the pharmaceutical industry, reducing its environmental footprint. This is pioneering research for the university's medical institute. For the first time, a mechanical activation method for a medicinal substance was developed and optimized within its walls. Furthermore, changes in the substance's structure and properties were comprehensively studied in situ, demonstrating the irreversibility of the positive changes and the long-term stability of the resulting material.

"The developed approach opens the possibility of targeted improvements in the properties of a wide range of known drugs. This is a step toward more effective, safe, and affordable therapies developed with environmental considerations in mind," says Ekaterina Kuzmina.

The girl has already filed an application for a Russian patent for her method.

The Explorer's Path

In 2024, Ekaterina graduated with honors from the RUDN University Institute of Medicine with a specialization in Pharmacy and began working on her PhD dissertation in the Department of Pharmaceutical and Toxicological Chemistry as a postgraduate student under the supervision of Professor Elena Valerievna Uspenskaya, Doctor of Pharmaceutical Sciences.

She has participated in a number of national and international conferences, including the International Pirogov Scientific Medical Conference (2024), the IV International Conference "Hot Spots in Solid State Chemistry: Focused Fundamental Research" in Novosibirsk (2024), and the VII All-Russian Conference "Physics of Aqueous Solutions" (2025). She has published five full-text international research articles on the topic of her dissertation, four of which were in journals indexed in the Scopus international database.

Ekaterina Kuzmina's research exemplifies how modern science at RUDN University is solving pressing practical problems. This work, initiated within the university, has the potential for practical implementation in the pharmaceutical industry, offering cost-effective and environmentally friendly solutions for the medicine of the future.

Dmitry Grigorenko: Digitalization is the best tool for combating bureaucracy.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The government is launching the next stage of public administration development – the "Reporting Guillotine" project. It aims to establish uniform rules for requesting data from regions and reduce their excessive administrative burden. Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of Staff of the Government of Russia Dmitry Grigorenko announced this at the first International Congress of Public Administration.

At the congress, the Deputy Prime Minister participated in the plenary session "Public Administration in the 21st Century: Between Speed and Meaning." He noted that the work of the government apparatus has been significantly optimized over the past five years. Currently, the share of electronic document management within the Government Office exceeds 90%, and the average document approval time has been reduced from four days to 1.4 days. The issuance of regulatory acts takes 15 minutes instead of 12 hours, and the time it takes to receive documents for review is now approximately 40 minutes instead of 10 days.

In 2025, a large-scale document flow optimization was also carried out at the Government Office. Its key objective was to reduce redundant documents and procedures. Specifically, the number of documents required for preparing the Government's legislative action plan was reduced by an average of seven times, and for preparing protocol events, by a quarter. Manual data entry during event planning and reporting was halved.

The changes affected not only procedures but also the very organization of civil servants' work. The Government Office has established a digital assignment process. Information on deadlines and assignees is fed into an information and analytical dashboard, allowing for real-time visibility into the status of current tasks.

A separate area of focus is training civil servants in using artificial intelligence tools. The technology is used for preparing protocols and brief reference materials, as well as spell checking.

"Digitalization is, first and foremost, a tool for improving the efficiency of public administration. It is not an end in itself: its value is determined by specific results—shorter timeframes, reduced administrative burden, increased transparency, and improved service quality. For us, digital transformation means practical solutions that save citizens and businesses time and make processes clear and convenient. At the same time, people—both as service recipients and as civil servants—always remain at the center of these changes. Therefore, our key task is to build processes in which technology removes unnecessary barriers, automates routine operations, and enables effective management decisions," said Dmitry Grigorenko.

The plenary session was also attended by First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office of Russia Sergei Kiriyenko, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, First Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic Daniyar Amangeldiev, and Rector of the Presidential Academy Alexei Komissarov.
