SPbGASU was one of the key academic institutions supporting the publication of the first-ever Russian edition of Chen Congzhou's book "On Chinese Gardens." The book was written by the Chinese architect, a world-renowned expert in ancient Chinese architecture and gardening. The book presentation took place on November 2 at our university's scientific and technical library.

The publication of this work in Russian was a significant event for both the professional landscape community and researchers of Eastern architecture and culture. The publication reveals the traditions of classical Chinese landscape design and introduces readers to a unique gardening philosophy based on the harmony of natural and architectural elements.

Chen Congzhou's work became a landmark in the field of landscape architecture: the author proposed new concepts for organizing space, described the principles of perceiving landscapes in motion and statics, the subtleties of creating hills and ponds, the layout of pavilions, and the principles of planting trees and other plants. The book is valuable not only as a classic theoretical study but also as a work of high artistic culture.

The original text is written in traditional Chinese brush calligraphy, which is carefully reproduced in the facsimile edition. The book is accompanied by photographs of the famous gardens of Suzhou and 32 illustrations of ancient Chinese gardens, making it a guide to China's cultural heritage.

Olga Ushakova, Associate Professor of the Department of Architectural and Civil Engineering at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering and a member of the Union of Artists of Russia, served as the publication's scientific editor and illustrator. Her participation ensured the publication's high-quality artistic design and scientific support.

The translation and publication of the book were initiated by Professor Li Shuan of Hangzhou University (China) and Professor Marianna Shevchenko of the Moscow Architectural Institute (MARCHI). Both researchers worked on the translation of the original source, ensuring the accurate and profound conveyance of the author's intent.

This publication is of interest to both professionals—landscape architects, restorers, and gardeners—and to a general audience interested in Chinese history and culture. Chen Congzhou's work combines scholarship, artistic expression, and philosophical depth, revealing to the reader the world of the Chinese garden as a space of contemplation, harmony, and dialogue with nature.

Law and Order: Lawyers' Day is celebrated across the country today.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

December 3rd is Lawyer's Day in Russia—a professional holiday for everyone working in the legal field: judges, lawyers, prosecutors, notaries, teachers, researchers, law enforcement officers, and corporate lawyers.

The holiday is relatively new: it was established in 2008 by decree of President Vladimir Putin at the initiative of the Russian Lawyers' Association, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary today. However, the historical roots of the celebration date back to the 19th century: on December 3, 1864, Emperor Alexander II approved the Judicial Statutes—the foundation of the judicial reform that introduced openness, adversarial proceedings, and judicial independence. This date became a turning point for Russian law and, for a time, an unofficial professional holiday.

Builders of a new reality

The systematic development of legal science in Russia began during the reign of Peter the Great. The Tsar ordered the translation of European legal works into Russian and sent Russian students to study abroad. In 1755, with the founding of Moscow University, a law faculty was opened—the country's first platform for training Russian legal scholars. Initially, lectures were given in Latin and based on foreign textbooks, but over time, Russian jurisprudence acquired both its own language and its own authors. Among them was Semyon Denisitsky, the first professor to teach courses in Russian.

The judicial reform of 1864 and the publication of the "Code of Laws of the Russian Empire" were particularly significant for the development of law. These events not only systematized legislation but also shaped generations of lawyers for whom law became more than just a tool of governance, but a profession requiring knowledge, ethics, and responsibility.

After 1917, the legal system underwent profound changes. Lawyers in the Soviet Union were viewed as "builders of a new legal reality," on par with engineers and the military. Today, the profession is once again undergoing a transformation: alongside traditional areas, new ones are emerging—IT law, artificial intelligence regulation, and personal data protection. This requires specialists to continually learn and be flexible in their thinking.

Training of legal experts

At the State University of Management, specialists in public and municipal administration, jurisprudence, and legal support for business are trained at the Institute of Public Administration and Law (IPAL GUU), which was created as a result of the reorganization of one of the university's oldest divisions—the Faculty of Management in Construction and Urban Economy.

Today, ISUiP enrolls over a thousand students in full-time and part-time programs. More than two hundred students annually complete second-degree programs, professional retraining, and advanced training. Moreover, more than three thousand specialists from various fields complete continuing education courses annually.

The institute's faculty comprises more than one hundred scientists and practitioners, including academicians and corresponding members of industry academies, doctors of science and professors, candidates of science, and associate professors.

ISULP graduates are in demand at all levels of state and municipal government: they work in the Russian Presidential Administration, the Federation Council and State Duma offices, federal ministries and agencies, the Accounts Chamber, the Moscow government, the capital's prefectures and district administrations, as well as in law enforcement agencies, city infrastructure, research and educational institutions, and commercial organizations. It is worth noting that the institute is consistently ranked among the top Russian universities for graduate salaries in the legal field, confirming the high quality of its training and the trust of employers.

For serving Themis

Traditionally, on December 3, the Association of Lawyers of Russia presents its highest industry award, the "Lawyer of the Year" prize. Among the laureates are the authors of fundamental laws, scholars, human rights activists, and educators. The prize is awarded in six categories, reflecting the full spectrum of legal activity—from science to education and social protection. Today, in his welcoming address to the congress of the Association of Lawyers of Russia, President Vladimir Putin emphasized: "You have chosen a noble mission—to protect the rights and interests of people and ensure the rule of law in the state. Such a calling requires not only thorough knowledge but also high personal and moral qualities. I would like to especially commend your work in providing free, qualified legal assistance to citizens, including participants in special military operations and their families. Your dedicated service to duty and society is worthy of deep respect and gratitude."

Today, Lawyer's Day is not only an occasion to congratulate colleagues but also an opportunity to remind them of the profession's social mission: protecting citizens' rights, strengthening law and order, and developing a legal culture in society. Universities host academic conferences, discussion platforms, and open lectures. Schoolchildren take the All-Russian Legal Dictation, an opportunity to test their knowledge and reflect on their future profession. Professional groups—from courts to law firms—celebrate the holiday with meetings, sharing experiences, and plans for the future.

The First Management University community respectfully honors all those who have chosen the path of service to the law. May your work bring not only professional satisfaction but also real benefit to those who need it most today. After all, it is lawyers who largely determine how fair, predictable, and human-centered our society will be.

A RUDN University student's paper won a competition at the "Laser Medicine in Russia: Progressive Technologies" conference.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

In November, RUDN University hosted the country's first scientific and practical conference, "Laser Medicine in Russia: Advanced Technologies." The event brought together specialists from various fields of medicine and biophotonics. More than 300 scientists, researchers, and practicing physicians from Russia and 32 countries working in laser technology, as well as over 650 representatives of the younger generation—students, residents, postgraduate students, and young scientists—participated.

The main objectives of the event were:

To expand understanding of laser clinical medicine; to identify promising research areas for the development of laser medical technologies in Russia; to exchange experiences in the application of laser medical technology developments in various fields of medicine; to bring together specialists using laser technology, laser equipment manufacturers, and the younger generation of clinical medicine specialists.

The conference was opened by Alexey Abramov, Director of the RUDN University Institute of Medicine, and Oleg Yastrebov, Rector of the University, delivered a welcoming video address. Participants reviewed new, cutting-edge developments in laser technologies for the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory and oncological diseases, as well as injuries of various origins, including blast injuries. They also discussed the potential for their application in various areas of clinical medicine using the latest generation of high-intensity and low-intensity lasers. Furthermore, scientists and physicians addressed such current issues in laser medicine as medical physics and laser technology, the effects of high-intensity and low-intensity laser radiation on biological tissue, and the application of laser medical technologies in surgery, dentistry, dermatology, and other areas of medicine.

Presentations were given by Valery Tuchin, Head of the Department of Optics and Biophotonics and Director of the Scientific Medical Center at the Saratov National Research University named after N.G. Chernyshevsky; Vladimir Zuev, laureate of the Russian Federation Government Prize and Professor of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology No. 1 at the N.V. Sklifosovsky Institute of Clinical Medicine at Sechenov University; Sergey Derkachev, Head of the Outpatient Surgery Department and Chief Phlebologist at the N.I. Pirogov Clinic of High Medical Technologies at St. Petersburg State University; and many others.

Laser and wisdom teeth removal

The conference also featured a poster competition for young scientists. Oon Maher Basharovich (Syria), a postgraduate student in the Department of Dental Propaedeutics at the RUDN Medical Institute, won first place among medical schools. His research topic was "Clinical and Radiological Justification for the Use of Laser Radiation in Tooth Extraction." We spoke with the winner to learn about the essence of his paper, the benefits of his findings, and his future plans for developing this work.

Why did you choose this particular topic?

This topic is related to the fact that tooth extraction remains a routine procedure in the practice of dental surgeons. According to the literature, complications most often arise during the removal of wisdom teeth in the lower jaw due to abnormalities in formation, position, and eruption. This issue is always relevant, as such an intervention is associated with high trauma and a long recovery period due to severe pain and postoperative swelling. Today, lasers are used in all areas of medicine, as they are a unique tool in the surgeon's hands, offering undeniable advantages: they allow for fine incisions and provide aseptic, bactericidal, hemostatic, analgesic, and other effects.

What is the focus of your research? How exactly does laser radiation help in tooth extraction, and what are its advantages over traditional methods?

We utilized the properties of a 940 nm diode laser for the removal of impacted wisdom teeth in the lower jaw, using both low-intensity and high-intensity beams. High-intensity beams were used for bactericidal treatment of the postoperative wound immediately after third molar extraction, while low-intensity beams were applied on the third day to relieve postoperative pain using a special attachment. This attachment was used to treat postoperative swelling in the area of the tooth extraction on the skin side of the lower jaw. The advantage of using a laser is less pronounced postoperative swelling. Less swelling also significantly reduces pain, eliminating the need for pain medication. Wound epithelialization and healing were accelerated, as laser beams stimulate regeneration. Furthermore, the risk of complications and relapses is reduced. All this allows patients to recover more quickly and return to work.

What are the future plans for developing this research?

Laser technologies allow us to improve surgical techniques, increase treatment effectiveness, and reduce the risk of local complications such as alveolitis and osteomyelitis. The laser we used was a diode, and all diode lasers only work on soft tissues. In the future, we plan to use an erbium laser, as it is the only laser that works on hard tissues (teeth and bone), and this shows promise. Currently, the department is working on tooth extractions in patients with complex somatic pathologies; I am monitoring these patients, and they have had very good results.
