A busy section of the M-4 "Don" highway in the Moscow region has been repaired.

The government continues to implement projects to strengthen the country's road infrastructure. Road upgrades are underway in many regions. For example, in the Moscow Region, major repairs have been completed on 12.5 km of the M-4 "Don" highway, as announced by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"The quality of life for people, as well as the performance of key economic and social sectors, depends on the quality and safety of the road network. Therefore, we are implementing projects to build both new roads and upgrade existing ones. Specifically, on the M-4 "Don" highway, we completed major repairs from the 103rd to the 117th kilometer, which is one of the most heavily traveled sections of the road. Construction and installation work was carried out in the Stupino and Kashira urban districts without traffic restrictions. As a result, specialists replaced the road surface and widened the roadway to three lanes in each direction. In addition, significant work was carried out on seven structures – one bridge, four overpasses, and two pedestrian overpasses were brought up to standard," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that the M-4 Don Highway is a strategic route. It delivers humanitarian aid to border and reunified regions. It is one of the country's key highways, connecting Russia's central regions with the Black Sea coast.

According to Vyacheslav Petushenko, Chairman of the Board of the state-owned company Avtodor, this section of the M-4 "Don" is used daily not only by freight carriers, but also by residents of nearby settlements in the Moscow region, and in the warmer months, by summer residents and road travelers heading south.

"The M-4 Don Highway is traditionally considered the main artery for access to our country's resort areas. Furthermore, this road is part of the North-South transport corridor. Due to the highway's significant importance, we are paying special attention to creating comfortable travel conditions. To ensure traffic safety, we replaced the barrier fence and signs, applied horizontal markings made of wear-resistant thermoplastic, installed mesh fencing, and installed outdoor lighting along the entire length of the section," explained Vyacheslav Petushenko.

Entrepreneurial skills training courses have concluded at the State University of Management. This year, the number of participants almost doubled compared to last year.

This time, educational technical pre-intensive workshops for students were led by experts from the startup studio "Discovery of Innovations," Togliatti State University (TSU), and Pyatigorsk State University (PSU). Although the masterclass programs varied, their overall goal was to teach students the fundamentals of technological entrepreneurship and motivate them to create innovative startup projects.

Our students learned to work in teams, formulate and test hypotheses, discussed real-world market cases, analyzed existing monetization models, and, under the guidance of experienced trainers, went through all stages of launching an innovative product—from generating a creative idea to the final pitch. Furthermore, entrepreneurial skills training enabled future managers to hone such important skills as leadership, communication, self-motivation, and risk adaptation.

The most active participants received gifts from partners and organizers, and certificates of participation in the training sessions became excellent additions to the young entrepreneurs' portfolios—for example, such a document gives additional points when applying for the Foundation for Assistance to Innovation's "Student Startup" competition.

Entrepreneurial competency training is the entry point to the broad and diverse ecosystem of the University Technological Entrepreneurship Platform of the federal project "Technologies." In 2025, over 100,000 students from across Russia participated in entrepreneurial competency training. The Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) operates this program.

Students from the Institute of Distance Education at the State University of Management organized a concert at the Central Military Clinical Sanatorium (CMCS) "Arkhangelskoye" in honor of the upcoming Heroes of the Fatherland Day, which our country celebrates on December 9.

The audience for the performances by our correspondence students' creative group, "Musical Mood," included military personnel participating in a special military operation undergoing medical rehabilitation at the sanatorium, as well as vacationers and staff members of the health resort.

The concert took the form of a historical and patriotic musical narrative about defenders of the Fatherland throughout history. The students' main goal was to uplift the spirits and good cheer of our modern-day heroes and preserve the memory of Russia's valiant past.

The students also met with the Central Military Command and military patients, presented small gifts, and wished the soldiers good health and a speedy recovery.

As a reminder, in addition to organizing creative events to boost the morale of SVO participants, our university has been running the "GUU-SVOim" campaign since January 2024, which is part of the Ministry of Education and Science's public initiative "Universities for the Front." This project aims to support military personnel performing missions in the special military operation zone and encompasses a wide range of activities, from collecting and delivering humanitarian aid to organizing cultural and educational events for service members and their families. In 2025, the third humanitarian aid delivery mission took place.

A game for real men: GUU celebrates All-Russian Hockey Day

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Established in 2007 at the initiative of Vladislav Tretiak, President of the Russian Ice Hockey Federation (RIHF), the holiday commemorates the founding of the RHF on December 1, 1946. Today, it unites not only fans but also all those for whom hockey is part of the national sporting culture.

Bandy was once popular in our country—it was even called "Russian hockey." The breakthrough came in the late 1940s, when the first professional ice hockey teams began to form. As early as 1956, the USSR team made its Olympic debut in Cortina d'Ampezzo and immediately won gold. Over the following decades, Soviet hockey players became Olympic champions eight times and world champions 22 times.

Behind this resounding success were outstanding coaches—Arkady Chernyshev, Anatoly Tarasov, Viktor Tikhonov—and legendary players—Vsevolod Bobrov, Valeri Kharlamov, Vladislav Tretiak, Boris Mikhailov. Our hockey players have always been national heroes—both in the USSR and today in Russia, films are made about them, and even songs are written about them.

After the collapse of the USSR, Russian hockey endured a difficult time: economic hardship, the departure of stars overseas, and lost years. But by the 2000s, the Russian national team had once again become one of the strongest, winning world championship titles in 2008, 2009, 2012, and 2014, and, most importantly, Olympic gold in Pyeongchang in 2018, its first in 26 years.

On Hockey Day, children's tournaments, open days at sports schools, and master classes from current players are held across the country. Veterans take to the ice alongside young athletes—not to compete, but to share their experiences. Museums and libraries host exhibitions dedicated to the history of hockey. Government officials, artists, and other cultural figures don skates, including our president, Vladimir Putin, who initiated the creation of the amateur Night Hockey League and is an active participant.

This year, the central event of the festival will be the Moscow "Hockey Day" festival at VDNKh on Saturday, December 6. Amateur matches and mini-tournaments will be held on the ice rink, where anyone can play alongside world champions. A separate training area will be set aside for shooting and puck handling practice. Participation is free, and the program is open to all ages and runs from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM.

For those interested in the history of the presidential sport, a special exhibition has been open at the Dynamo Museum since mid-November. Display cases contain trophies, medals, and hockey equipment dating back to 1926. Among the exhibits are the skates of Vyacheslav Solovyov, an 11-time USSR bandy champion, and the stick of Vasily Pervukhin, a multiple world and European champion, along with other sports memorabilia.

We all root for the Russian national team and our university hockey team—one of the strongest university teams competing in the Moscow Student Hockey League (MSHL) championship (3). Our "GUUSI" are the MSHL champions of the 2010/11 season and the Bachelor's Division of the 2015/16 and 2021/22 seasons, bronze medalists of the MSHL top division in 2014/23, silver medalists of the MSHL in the 2011/12 and 2012/13 seasons, champions of the annual University Cup 2022 tournament, and are among the top four teams in the All-Russian SHL Championship in 2023/24.

Happy All-Russian Hockey Day to our ice hockey team, which ended November with two victories for the guys from MAI and MFUA, and will play the RUDN team on December 14th! May the ice be smooth, the shots accurate, and the team work together smoothly! We wish you good health, athletic enthusiasm, inspiring training, and exciting victories on and off the ice. This is Vykhino! This is South-Eastern Administrative Okrug! This is our State University of Management! We love it!

RUDN University professors were awarded the K. I. Satpayev medal by KazNITU

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

At an international conference dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the U.M. Akhmedsafin Institute of Hydrogeology and Geoecology at the Kazakh National Research Technical University (KazNITU), RUDN University Institute of Ecology professor Alexander Petrovich Khaustov was awarded the K.I. Satpayev Medal for his contribution to the development of science and education.

Relations between RUDN University and KazNITU have a long history. For a long time, the universities implemented a joint educational program within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). Alexander Khaustov participated in the mobility program for leading scientists, serving as an invited international lecturer at KazNITU. In 2014–2015, he led a major trilateral research project to develop an expert system for the environmental remediation of oil-contaminated geological environments, which included partners from the U. M. Akhmedsafin Institute of Hydrogeology and Geoecology. Furthermore, since 2015, six joint PhD students have successfully defended their dissertations, with Alexander Khaustov as their international advisor. Since 2022, joint scientific seminars on modern environmental hydrogeology have been regularly held under the guidance of a RUDN University professor under the auspices of the International Association of Hydrogeologists.

We spoke with Alexander Petrovich to learn what the award means to him, what prospects for future collaboration the universities have, and what the professor learned from KazNITU students during their joint PhD dissertation work.

The Satpayev Medal is one of the highest awards from Kazakhstan's leading technical university. What, in your opinion, was the key factor in the decision to award you the medal?

It's difficult to single out just one aspect. The format of our collaboration has varied over the years—from lectures to joint research projects to training master's and PhD students. In recent years, we've collaborated extensively with KazNITU, organizing joint scientific seminars on hydrogeological topics. RUDN University is a member of the International Association of Hydrogeologists, and the Institute of Ecology pays close attention to this work. I actively participate as an invited specialist in PhD dissertation defense committees. It's a great honor for me to be awarded the KazNITU medal. I hope that our collaboration with fellow hydrogeologists, oil industry specialists, and geoecologists will expand and take the training of in-demand specialists to a new level, ensuring international recognition for our graduates.

Alexander Petrovich, your collaboration with KazNITU has lasted for over 10 years. Which of these joint projects do you consider the most significant and why? Perhaps it's the tripartite expert system for the remediation of oil-contaminated environments?

The expert system for remediating geological pollution is, indeed, perhaps the most ambitious project. In fact, it was one of the first attempts to use artificial intelligence to address environmental safety issues. The expert system is capable of proposing optimal solutions based on multiple criteria, processing numerous possible scenarios for the pollution situation and environmental protection technology options. It's difficult for a human to grasp such a volume of information, which is why such an "advisor" is needed. Another unique feature of the project was the collaboration between research teams from three countries, enabling them to develop unified approaches to modeling.

During your last visit to Kazakhstan, you discussed prospects for collaboration with KazNITU within the framework of the UI GreenMetric partnership. What specifically can RUDN and KazNITU do together to improve the environmental sustainability of universities, and what practical steps are planned?

It's always interesting for two universities to discuss each other's experiences and development prospects, including opportunities for greening and implementing joint projects. First and foremost, the partnership in the UI GreenMetric ranking emphasizes fostering environmental awareness. During our visit to KazNTU, my colleagues and I saw a number of interesting solutions—for example, a museum of old technology—and learned about exciting research projects. Regarding joint practical steps, I believe joint programs to introduce cutting-edge research in environmental safety technologies and environmental monitoring would be very interesting. There are numerous prospects for collaboration, such as research into the transformation of microplastics in natural environments. Analytical studies of dissolved forms of this common pollutant have already begun. Sergey Goryainov, a leading analyst at RUDN University and a PhD candidate in chemistry, with whom we began this important research more than 10 years ago, has joined the study. I believe both universities have excellent potential and prospects for collaboration in many areas—from hydrogeology and oil industry to environmental protection and green chemistry.

Over the many years of collaboration, you've likely witnessed the evolution of the Kazakh scientific school. How have approaches, research topics, and the level of students and colleagues at KazNTU changed over this time?

In my opinion, KazNITU is a very modern, dynamically developing university. Research topics are predominantly practice-oriented. Much attention is paid to the demand for specialists and ensuring their level of training meets the actual requirements of employers. The extensive involvement of senior students in analytical research using modern equipment is striking. For example, the production of environmentally friendly building materials from industrial and thermal energy waste.

Six KazNITU PhD students you supervised successfully defended their theses. What have you, as their supervisor, learned from your Kazakh students? Do you currently have any joint projects or collaboration ideas with them?

Perhaps the most important thing we can glean from our students is optimism and a desire to explore new things. Yes, there are certainly promising areas we continue to explore. Specifically, I'm currently working on a PhD dissertation jointly with a doctoral student from the Institute of Hydrogeology and Geoecology and RUDN University on microplastic pollution of the underground hydrosphere. This topic isn't just trendy, but also has real practical relevance. Doctoral student Kalamkas Koshpanova presented a brilliant paper at our recent conference, "For Sustainable Development of Civilization: Cooperation, Science, Education, and Technology. The CIS Countries' Path to the 17 SDGs: An Integrated Approach." I'm confident that this very interesting paper will be completed and successfully defended, and similar research will be conducted on the Russian side—we've been developing this topic for almost 10 years now.

There are numerous ideas for developing cooperation. These include various applications of mineral waters, including "non-traditional" ones: for the production of skin rejuvenation cosmetics, makeup removal with special mineral water-based liquids, or the use of underground heat for municipal household needs. The key here is a more serious approach to water resources, with greater attention and support for projects to assess and protect them. Kazakhstan is well aware of the importance of this issue and is committed to developing state-level support for hydrogeological research.
