Nicolaus Copernicus: How the scientist's discoveries changed our understanding of the world

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Medieval man was certain of his place in the universe: the Earth, spherical in shape, stood still, and the Moon, planets, and even the Sun revolved around it. For a long time, this system was unquestioned, but everything changed thanks to Nicolaus Copernicus. He was born on February 19, 1473, in Toruń, Poland. The youngest of a merchant family, he enjoyed a comfortable and peaceful childhood. However, when his parents died at the age of 10, his maternal uncle, Lukasz, took on the responsibility of caring for the family. It was he who recognized Nicolaus's brilliant mind and predicted a future for him not in the merchant class, but in science.

In 1491, Copernicus entered the University of Krakow, where he studied the exact sciences: physics, astronomy, astrology, and the works of classical antiquity—Aristotle, Seneca, and Cicero. He continued his education in Italy, at the University of Bologna, under the astronomer Dominic Maria di Novara. With him, Copernicus conducted his first scientific observation and discovered that the distances from the Earth to the Moon were equal during the new and full moons. This cast doubt on Ptolemy's theory, which held that all motion revolved around our planet. In 1500, he moved to Rome, where he lectured and studied medicine. After receiving a doctorate in canon law, he returned to his homeland and became an observer, teacher, secretary, and physician to his uncle, a bishop.

While comparing the motion of the stars with the ecclesiastical calendar, other inconsistencies in the Ptolemaic system were discovered, and the system began to crumble. Questions then arose: "What if it's not the Sun that revolves around the Earth, but vice versa? What if we ourselves are in motion?" Based on this assumption, Copernicus explained the apparent intricacies of planetary motion, but, ignorant of the truth and assuming their shapes to be circular, he retained the epicycles and deferents of the ancients to explain the unevenness of their motion.

Forty years of tireless work on "On the Revolutions of the Celestial Bodies"—and the world received a book that revolutionized our understanding of the universe! Its writing was painstaking: the work was repeatedly revised and supplemented with new astronomical tables. Although Nicolaus Copernicus's theories required refinement and were not perfect, they formed the basis for our understanding of the modern solar system and became a true scientific breakthrough. His key discoveries can be summarized as follows:

The Earth is not the center. It is just one of the planets revolving around the Sun. We don't feel it, but our planet rotates on its own axis—this explains the alternation of day and night, not the rotation of the sky. The year is our orbit. The Earth's movement around the Sun creates the star's "journey" through the signs of the zodiac. The order of the planets. Copernicus was the first to propose the correct order of the planets from the Sun, placing Earth between Venus and Mars.

According to one version, Copernicus was in no hurry to publish his work due to his awareness of the scale of his discoveries and their impact on the entire world. The work was printed under the supervision of Nicolaus's best student, Rheticus, and the first printed copy of the book was brought to him on his deathbed. He reached out, touched his work, and died.

The influence of Copernicus's discoveries and scientific works cannot be overstated. Without them, there would have been no Galileo Galilei, who looked through a telescope and confirmed Nicolaus's correctness. There would have been no Johannes Kepler, who discovered the laws of planetary motion. There would have been no Isaac Newton with his theory of gravity.

Nicolaus Copernicus showed by his example that the path to truth can be long and thorny, but it is necessary to seek the truth, even if it means moving the entire Earth.

The SPbGASU delegation at the university's stand: Nadezhda Akulova (fourth from the right) and students from the Department of Architectural and Urban Heritage

In summing up the winter, we note SPbGASU's participation in the IV Specialized Exhibition "PROrestoration. Import Substitution in Restoration Materials and Technologies," which took place in Moscow last December. The exhibition was organized by the Moscow Government jointly with the non-profit partnership "Russian Association of Restorers."

This key event in the restoration industry has traditionally become a platform for professional dialogue between restoration companies, design institutes, museums, educational organizations, regional specialists, and international experts. The exhibition, covering a total area of 4,500 square meters, was attended by over 20,000 Muscovites and visitors.

SPbGASU participated in the event as one of the leading universities offering training in architectural restoration. The university was represented by Nadezhda Akulova, Acting Head of the Department of Architectural and Urban Heritage, Associate Professor, and PhD in Architecture, and students—future restoration architects.

Alexey Yemelyanov, Head of the Moscow Department of Cultural Heritage, noted that the exhibition's business and educational program was very comprehensive: "Over the four days, nearly 200 events were held—presentations, lectures, roundtables, and master classes. More than 100 Russian companies presented modern solutions and technologies for preserving cultural heritage sites."

One of the exhibition's central events has traditionally been the competition for young restorers. In 2025, teams from 25 universities and vocational schools from 13 regions of Russia and the Republic of Belarus participated. Students competed in the restoration of stucco and plaster, easel painting, stone and wood decoration, metalwork, and monumental painting.

The exhibition also featured a student research conference, bringing together over 70 speakers. Students from SPbGASU presented their research: Alena Turpak presented her work "The Historical and Cultural Potential of Princely Estates in the Lipetsk Region and Modern Approaches to Their Preservation," and Natalia Semenova presented her project "Restoration of the Noginsk Tram Line: Harmony Between Preserving Historical and Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Mobility."

The exhibition was attended by international experts from China, Jordan, Mexico, Algeria, South Africa, Serbia, Italy, and Cuba. They participated in professional discussions, shared their experiences in restoring architectural monuments, and actively interacted with students. The SPbGASU booth generated considerable interest, where the international guests participated in an interactive workshop, "Find the Defect," where they experienced the role of restoration student workers.

Jorge Ortega González, Director General of the National Association of Mexican World Heritage Cities, emphasized the exhibition's uniqueness and the importance of competitive formats for supporting young people. Perla Rosales Aguirreurreta, Deputy Director General of the Havana Historical Bureau, noted the importance of professional exchange and the prospects for forming international expert groups.

In total, the exhibition featured over 120 master classes on artistic carving, icon and fresco restoration, and copper gilding and silvering techniques. Some objects were restored directly on site: specialists from the State Research Institute for Restoration, along with volunteers, restored the sign of the Entuziast Cinema, while the Man company completed the restoration of a fragment of the 1911 façade of a commercial school.

Throughout the four days, SPbGASU presented a rich program of specialized interactive activities. Visitors were offered master classes such as "Young Detective" (an immersion into diagnosing defects on building facades), "Historical Washing" (working with fragments of Ivan Sytin's printing house—the building where the exhibition was held), "Choosing a Color Scheme," "Find the Defect," and the board game "Memo," which became one of the exhibition's most talked-about activities.

Visitors were particularly drawn to the board game "Memo," developed by students from the Department of Architectural and Urban Heritage at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering specifically for the "PROrestoration" exhibition. The game combines educational and playful formats, exploring the history of Ivan Sytin's printing house and the concept of "cultural heritage."

Nadezhda Akulova thanked her team for their professionalism, proactive communication, and excellent representation of the university at the exhibition. Special thanks were extended to students Ekaterina Vasilchenko, Daria Kondratyuk, Daria Kuvshinova, Sofia Mironova, Tatyana Murachova, Varvara Tuchina, and Galina Fedotova.

A significant part of the exhibition program was devoted to professional discussions and roundtables devoted to the preservation and adaptation of cultural heritage sites, the strategic objectives of monument restoration, and the training of professional personnel in the field of restoration.

Nadezhda Akulova moderated a discussion on the training of specialists in the restoration industry – from secondary vocational and higher education to continuing professional education and scientific support for the industry.

SPbGASU is traditionally recognized by the professional community as one of the leading educational and scientific centers in the field of architectural restoration. For example, from March 24–28, the university will host the 6th National (All-Russian) Scientific and Practical Conference with International Participation, "Reconstruction and Restoration of Architectural Heritage."

Happy birthday, Polytechnic University! 127 years of service to science and Russia.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On February 19, Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University celebrates its anniversary. 127 years ago, in 1899, Nicholas II approved the memorandum of the Russian Empire's Minister of Finance, Sergei Yulyevich Witte, on the "establishment of the Polytechnic Institute in St. Petersburg." The history of our university begins on that day.

Rector Andrey Rudskoy has already congratulated the Polytechnic University students on this significant event: Dear friends! Today, our beloved Polytechnic University turns 127 years old! These years have been filled with remarkable scientific discoveries, constant progress, and the energy of creation for the benefit of the Fatherland! We are proud of our alma mater, the scientists and engineers of the past and present. Polytechnic University confidently looks to the future: participating in major federal programs, creating technologies in demand by industry, and nurturing new generations of highly qualified specialists. Prosper, dear Polytechnic University!

Several celebratory events have already taken place today. The highlight was the grand opening of a new classroom-cum-coworking space, created with the participation of PJSC TGC-1. This modern educational space is located in Room 315 of the Main Academic Building.

The opening ceremony was attended by SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy, Deputy General Director for Company Development Eduard Lisitsky, representatives of the university and company management, faculty, and students.

The ceremony began with welcoming remarks from the distinguished guests, followed by a symbolic opening of the auditorium—the pressing of a button, marking the opening of the new educational space. Guests toured the coworking auditorium, familiarized themselves with its functional areas, digital solutions, and educational equipment, and saw how students use the space for project and teamwork.

The new auditorium is designed to offer a practice-oriented learning format and closely connect the educational process with real-world challenges in the energy industry. The space combines areas for lectures, independent and teamwork, project-based activities, and professional networking, creating the conditions for developing students' engineering and digital competencies.

Addressing students, SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy emphasized the importance of the university's collaboration with industrial partners: "The classroom we're opening today is a space where education directly connects with real-world engineering practice. It was created thanks to trust and deep cooperation with TGC-1. By engaging in such university-industry collaboration, students begin to think like practicing engineers, working with real-world cases and modern technologies, and we, as a university, gain the opportunity to prepare graduates who are truly in demand in the energy sector today."

On behalf of the industrial partner, Eduard Lisitsky, Deputy General Director for Development at PJSC TGC-1, noted the significance of the project: "The opening of the classroom is just the tip of the iceberg of the enormous amount of collaborative work that has been accomplished. Together with our specialists, Polytechnic University updated, updated, and refined the training programs, incorporating interesting and important case studies from the actual operation of our power plants. Furthermore, digital twins of our power plants have been developed and will be used in the training process. This approach allows us to prepare future energy specialists to address current challenges."

Following the ceremony, representatives of PJSC TGC-1 continued their interaction with the students. They discussed internships, graduate employment, career paths, and joint educational and project initiatives.

The opening of the coworking classroom marked the next step in the development of the strategic partnership between SPbPU and PJSC TGK-1. This collaboration encompasses research, education, and human resources, creating a sustainable model of "education-science-industry" interaction and facilitating the training of sought-after specialists for the energy industry.

After the opening of the coworking auditorium, guests and students attended a celebratory Musical Break. On the Polytechnic's birthday, the Ingenium pop and symphony orchestra performed music from popular films and TV series, as well as other contemporary hits. The event culminated with the song "I Love You, Life."

PROF also held a promotion that day. Anyone could receive a checklist with tasks, including writing a wish, taking a photo, and taking a quiz. Completing these tasks earned participants "spins," which, if used, earned a guaranteed prize.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin and Oleg Baranov, Head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for Moscow, opened the new building of the Losinoostrovsky District Police Department. They also spoke with Moscow police officers.

"We're opening a second building for the district police department this year. This building, which is several times larger than the previous one, has everything needed for normal, efficient operations, from offices and equipment to a gym, a sports center, and so on. So, I congratulate the staff on their new home. I think they'll be comfortable working here," said Sergei Sobyanin.

He also congratulated workers on the upcoming Defender of the Fatherland Day.

Before moving to its new building, the Losinoostrovsky District Department of Internal Affairs occupied a two-story building at 30 Izumrudnaya Street. The total floor area of the premises was 1,718.8 square meters. This was insufficient for the full-fledged and effective operation of the department, which employs 155 people and serves a district with a population of over 83,000.

Shooting range, garage and duty station

The new district department building, covering 6,000 square meters, is located at 44 Letchika Babushkina Street, approximately a 15-minute walk from the Babushkinskaya metro station. Construction work was completed from March 2024 to January 2026, funded by the capital's budget and funded by the Safe City program.

The building's ventilated façade and base are made of porcelain stoneware. The façade is clad with metal cassettes and artificial stone slabs. The surrounding area is landscaped.

The four-story administrative building (including a technical floor) provides comfortable conditions for police officers to work, study, train, and relax. The department is equipped with modern utility systems, furniture, office equipment, and all necessary facilities.

"The building was constructed according to a custom design. It houses combat and service training areas, including a shooting range, as well as offices for the duty station, investigative department, criminal investigation department, and inquiry department," the Moscow Mayor wrote on his channel.

Additionally, there are rooms for security and suspect escort teams, logistics support, and other facilities. The building includes a gym with exercise equipment and a wrestling area, as well as a refreshment bar, breakout rooms, and relaxation rooms. A conference room with a modern multimedia system has been installed for operational meetings and other work events.

For the accommodation of official vehicles, there is a garage for six cars and a surface parking lot for 40 cars.

The move to the new building on Letchika Babushkina Street will be completed in February 2026.

Security, openness, and comfort: a new standard for the Metropolitan Police's buildings

The Moscow government provides systematic assistance to the Moscow police in modernizing their equipment and technical resources. Comfortable working conditions are created in the new and renovated buildings of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the City of Moscow. Modern duty stations, offices, laboratories, break rooms, gyms, shooting ranges, cafeterias, and refreshment areas are being installed there. The surrounding area is being landscaped.

Moscow is scaling its artificial intelligence developments nationwide. The MosMedII digital platform will provide regions with access to Moscow-based medical image analysis services starting in 2024. The platform already helps doctors analyze around a million images monthly, and the total number of studies performed has reached over 10 million, according to the Moscow City Health Ministry. Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.

"Over the past five years, Moscow has accumulated unique experience in artificial intelligence in healthcare. For example, we were the first in the world to launch an experiment integrating computer vision into radiation diagnostics. During this time, the capital tested over 200 algorithms and developed previously unheard-of methods. Two years ago, at the direction of the Russian President, we began scaling this experience to the regions through the MosMedII platform. Today, 74 Russian regions and over 2,000 regional medical organizations have joined the platform. Buryatia has joined the project in test mode," said Anastasia Rakova.

She noted that the flow of tests from the regions by 2025 already exceeded the volume in Moscow threefold. Doctors from across the country analyze approximately one million images each month using the Moscow system.

Moscow provides regions with access to AI services for analyzing mammograms, fluorography, chest X-rays, and computed tomography (CT) scans of the brain and chest organs. All algorithms are registered as medical devices and undergo ongoing quality monitoring.

According to Anastasia Rakova, artificial intelligence isn't a replacement for doctors, but rather a highly accurate assistant, reducing the risk of missing pathologies. A total of 60 services have been piloted in the capital, and organizations across the country are already using 17 of them.

The Krasnodar Krai, Nizhny Novgorod, Voronezh, Chelyabinsk, and Volgograd regions, as well as the Republic of Bashkortostan, hold the leading positions in terms of platform connectivity. Federal medical centers, including the Almazov National Medical Research Center and the Kuban State Medical University, also use MosMedII services.

The platform is being developed and maintained by the Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine Moscow City Department of Health and the capital Department of Information Technology.
