On the day of the 10th anniversary of the Harmony volunteer center, Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University hosted its annual international youth festival, dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The event brought together over 500 students from the Polytechnic University and other St. Petersburg universities, as well as young people from around the world, in an atmosphere of intercultural dialogue and mutual respect.

Before the concert program, guests explored 40 booths featuring students, Polytechnic youth organizations, and volunteer and charitable organizations from St. Petersburg. Guests enjoyed vibrant master classes and a fascinating introduction to the cultures of various countries and regions of Russia.

As part of the festival, the organizers invited everyone to participate in the All-Russian charity mutual aid campaign

The concert program in the White Hall was preceded by a vibrant ethnic fashion show featuring representatives from 19 countries and four regions of the Russian Federation: the Republic of Dagestan, the Chuvash Republic, the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra, China, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Turkmenistan, Palestine, Korea, Indonesia, Ecuador, Tunisia, Turkey, Tajikistan, Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Iran, India, Yemen, Azerbaijan, and Pakistan.

The fashion show opened with the designer's collection "Imperial Porcelain" in the Russian style, designed by Yulia Skornyakova, a student at the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University's Humanities Institute, and a vocal performance of "Mother Earth" by international competition winners Vera Ugai (SPbSPMU) and Milana Kardashova (SPbSUVM). After a spectacular creative performance representing the Russian Federation, other participants in the ethnic fashion show followed. Spectators were treated to a diversity of cultures and national costumes: from traditional Chuvash attire from the early 20th century to the silk-and-gold embroidered Palestinian garments known as "tatriz."

The festival's grand opening began with a performance of the Russian national anthem by vocalists from the SPbPU student vocal studio "PoliVox." Welcoming remarks were addressed by Maxim Pasholikov, Vice-Rector for Information, Youth Policy, and Security; Natalya Chicherina, Director of the Humanities Institute; Ivan Esipov, First Deputy Coordinator of the St. Petersburg Regional Branch of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) and a veteran of the SVO; Igor Zhukov, Director of the St. Petersburg House of Nationalities; Vladimir Garazha, Deputy Head of the Kalininsky District; and Fyodor Vladimirov, Acting First Deputy Chairman of the St. Petersburg Regional Branch of the "Movement of the First."

Friendship and brotherhood are the greatest treasures! What is volunteerism? It's selfless participation in the fate of the Motherland, helping those in need, and a demonstration that the front and home front are united, that only together can we endure and win, says Andrei Goncharov, a member of the SVO and representative of the Defenders of the Fatherland Foundation in St. Petersburg.

The concert program included performances by youth groups: the Chinese number "Soaring Dragon," a welcoming lezginka from the Republic of Dagestan, the Korean drumming number "Yongchunim Solchangu" using the traditional double-headed changgu drum, "Dance with Arrows and Berry Picking" by the Ob Ugrians' creative folklore group "Uvas Khus," the Vietnamese number "Light of the Eastern Sun," and the Turkmen national dance "Kushtdepdi," which is included in the UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

The Friendship Festival at the Polytechnic University is more than just a meeting of cultures and peoples; it's an important step toward creating a shared future based on mutual understanding, respect, and solidarity. It's important to remember that events like these help preserve our cultural heritage, foster patriotism, and foster a love of Russia, including among international students, noted Igor Zhukov, Director of the St. Petersburg House of Nationalities.

The festival was attended by foreign dignitaries: Nezmadjon Mamadzhanov, Chairman of the Regional Public Organization "Center for Support and Development of Uzbek Culture," Waddah Al-Jundi, Director of the Center for Russian-Arab Cooperation in St. Petersburg, Asel Rashidova, Director of the Uzbek Cultural Center of the Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Ho Minh Nhit, Representative of the Vietnamese Students' Association in St. Petersburg, Gasan Gasanov, Head of the Representative Office of the Republic of Dagestan in St. Petersburg, Valerian Gavrilov, Chairman of the Chuvash National Cultural Autonomy, and others. All were presented with commemorative gifts in honor of the significant event.

It was an incredibly rich and vibrant day! The Friendship Festival once again proved that when we are together, nothing is impossible. Special thanks to our honored guests from the diaspora and cultural centers – your support is invaluable! The SPbPU International Student Community will continue to create a space where everyone can share their culture and learn about others, says Begench Mukhammedov, head of the International Student Community of the Humanities Institute and third-year student at the School of Law and System Engineering.

The festival took on special significance in connection with the 10th anniversary of its main organizer, the Harmony volunteer project center at the Polytechnic University, which began its work in the fall of 2015.

The very first Friendship Festival took place in 2016 and has undergone three rebrandings (in 2017, 2019, and 2022), but it continues to unite young people from all over the world.

I would like to sincerely congratulate the Harmony Center and its director, Tatyana Nam, on this very important and significant event. Being a spectator at the Friendship Festival, it was a pleasure to return to that warm atmosphere and reminisce. Harmony gave me great opportunities for self-fulfillment, new acquaintances, and a cozy atmosphere that I still want to immerse myself in today. I hope and sincerely believe that the center will continue to develop and reach new heights! said Artyom Kononov, former chairman of the Institute of Economics trade union, graduate student at the Institute of Economics, Machine Learning, and Technology, and deputy head of the sales department at Arman.

The celebration concluded with a performance of the song "Polytechnicians Are Us!" by soloists from the PoliVox vocal studio, with lyrics and music written by Maria Guner, a second-year student at the Humanities Institute and head of the PoliNova songwriting club. All the festival organizers took the stage to join in singing the anniversary anthem of the Harmony Center.

The festival's organizing committee would like to express special gratitude to SPbPU Vice-Rector Maxim Pasholikov and the Director of the Humanities Institute, Natalia Chicherina.

The event was held with the support of the Youth Policy Council under the Academic Council of SPbPU, the Directorate of the Humanities Institute, and the Higher School of International Educational Programs of SPbPU.

In November, the Russian-Tajik (Slavic) University held advanced training courses for physics and computer science teachers in Russian-language schools in the Republic of Tajikistan. The program was implemented as part of an international collaboration between Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and RTSU in response to the growing demand for modern science education in the country's schools.

The training was conducted in a hybrid format, combining in-person and remote modules, and covered two 72-hour courses: "Using Information Technology to Support the Physics Educational Process" and "Current Approaches to Teaching Computer Science in the Context of the Digital Transformation of Education." The course speakers were leading SPbPU faculty members—Pyotr Velikorussov, Deputy Director of the Institute of Physics and Mathematics, and Yuri Melnik, Senior Lecturer at the Higher School of Engineering.

Over the course of 11 days, teachers from Dushanbe, Kulob, and other cities not only attended lectures but also actively participated in practical classes, laboratory experiments, methodological discussions, and team projects. Particular attention was paid to interactive methods, digital platforms, and artificial intelligence tools that help make physics and computer science lessons visual, motivating, and research-oriented.

"It's impossible to talk about quality education today without digital tools and project-based learning. We tried to show our colleagues how technology can help boost students' interest in the subject," noted Yuri Melnik.

As part of the computer science module, each participant developed their own mini-course: filled it with lectures and practical assignments, set up an assessment system, and tested it in a group.

"Creating our course turned out to be challenging, but incredibly interesting," shared Sadokat Azizova, a computer science teacher at Dushanbe Lyceum No. 3. "We realized how important it is to consider not only the content but also the logic of interaction with students in the digital environment."

During physics classes, teachers worked with virtual laboratories developed at the Institute of Physics and Mathematics at SPbPU, as well as with real laboratory equipment from the Physics Department at RTSU. One of the key objectives was to develop a research-based approach to teaching among teachers.

Physics isn't just about formulas; it's a way of seeing the world. It's important for teachers to be able to convey this sense of discovery to their students, emphasized Pyotr Velikorussov.

Upon completion of the program, all participants who successfully passed the final assessment received advanced training certificates in the established Russian Federation format. RTSU management highly praised the teachers' level of engagement and intends to make these courses a regular feature, gradually expanding them to other subject areas.

The project has become a shining example of how Russian university education exports can be not only strategic but also personally meaningful, directly impacting the quality of school education and inspiring teachers to new achievements.

NSU scientists took part in the creation of an international database on chronic heart failure

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Employees Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies of Novosibirsk State University (IMMT NSU) Participants in an international Russian-Kazakh study analyzing patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) who were or were not prescribed cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). The Russian portion of the project was led by Anton Yurkovsky, a resident at the Institute of Medical and Mechanics of the Novosibirsk State University.

Current guidelines emphasize the importance of a comprehensive approach—integrating drug and device therapy to maximize the lifespan of patients with CHF. Professor and MD Natalia Lozhkina, one of the study participants, comments on the practical impact of these strategies:

"Over the past decades, a number of medications have been developed (ACE inhibitors or sartans, beta-blockers, diuretics, and modern combination therapies), which, taken together, have increased the life expectancy of patients with CHF by approximately six to eight years. However, this is where pharmacological options are limited. The next step in treatment is cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT)—the implantation of a special device that synchronizes the ventricles. This increases the efficiency of cardiac contractions and improves patient well-being," explained Natalia Lozhkina.

In Russia, cardiac resynchronization therapy remains inaccessible to most patients, while in Kazakhstan there are more opportunities for its use.

Scientists from NSU, together with colleagues from a medical center in Almaty, compared clinical, demographic, instrumental, biochemical, and drug treatment data in patients with CHF with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction in several hundred patients, both those who underwent CRT and those who did not, over a five-year follow-up period. Based on this data, the study authors developed a unique approach for assessing the five-year prognosis in patients with severe, end-stage CHF.

"By comparing data from Russian and Kazakh patients, we convincingly demonstrated that cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator function, especially in patients with an extremely low left ventricular ejection fraction, can extend their lives by an additional five years or more. This period may be sufficient to wait until their turn for a donor heart transplant. Simply put, this treatment significantly improves the survival rate of such patients, of whom, I repeat, there are quite a few," noted Natalia Lozhkina.

The study results will soon be published in a number of high-impact scientific journals and presented at a meeting of the regional branch of the Russian Society of Cardiology. According to the scientists, this will significantly increase the chances of including cardiac resynchronization therapy in the list of services available under the compulsory medical insurance system in our country. The researchers also plan to use the database they created for other research projects related to assessing the effectiveness of various approaches to treating CHF.

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a clinical syndrome characterized by typical symptoms (shortness of breath, fatigue, edema) caused by structural and/or functional abnormalities of the heart, which lead to ineffective blood supply to the body at rest or under stress. According to the European Society of Cardiology, CHF is associated with a significant reduction in quality of life, a high risk of rehospitalization, and early mortality: without treatment of the underlying disorder, approximately 50% of patients die within four years of diagnosis, and in severe cases, more than half die within the first year. Along with its high mortality rate, CHF remains a leading cause of disability, significantly reducing life expectancy and leading to significant loss of active working years due to progressive deterioration of physical and social adaptation.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On November 19, the plenary session of the 27th World Russian People's Council, "For the 80th Anniversary of Victory. Defenders of the Fatherland: Military and Spiritual Feat," was held. His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus', representatives of government bodies, clergy, and other organizations addressed the session.

"This year, we celebrated one of the most important commemorative dates not only in Russian but also in world history—the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory. Therefore, our next council is dedicated to the defenders of the Fatherland, their military and spiritual feats. In this formulation, military and spiritual feats are not simply placed side by side, but are, as it were, equated. If you think about it, they are simply inseparable. The war heroes 'trampled death by death,' but they were resurrected not physically, but in the people's memory. That is why they write: 'Your feat is immortal,'" said His Holiness Patriarch Kirill.

He noted that it is necessary to preserve the memory of the victory over fascism, to eliminate any form of desecration of the memory of the victors over Nazism, to seek international sanctions against those states that pursue policies of ethnic, religious, and linguistic discrimination, and to develop clear legal standards for defining Nazism and neutralizing its manifestations.

Russian President Vladimir Putin sent a greeting to the participants and guests of the 27th World Russian People's Council. It was read by First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office Sergei Kiriyenko.

"I warmly welcome the participants and guests of the 27th World Russian People's Council. For over a quarter of a century, it has brought together representatives of government bodies and religious organizations, numerous political parties and movements, entrepreneurs, educators, cultural figures, and scientists to discuss key issues concerning the development of Russia and the Russian World. These include strengthening social unity and traditional spiritual and moral values, addressing demographic challenges, and fostering patriotic education among youth. And, of course, your sincere support for our heroes—the participants in the special military operation and their families—deserves special respect," the Russian President noted in his welcoming address.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko read a welcoming address from Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin: "The Council is being held in the year of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory. It is symbolic that its main theme is dedicated to this most important anniversary for our country. The Great Patriotic War is one of the heroic and simultaneously tragic pages in our history, in the lives of millions of people. The memory of the heroism of the soldiers who crushed fascism serves as a moral support, helping us confront modern challenges. We are proud of the courage and bravery of the soldiers participating in the special military operation today. Their unity, solidarity, and love for their homeland exemplify the deep connection between generations and are the main spiritual and moral compass for society."

The Deputy Prime Minister expressed gratitude to His Holiness Patriarch Kirill for his personal example of service and prayer, which inspires millions of people in Russia: "In your person, the Government of the Russian Federation has tremendous support in educating the younger generation in a spirit of respect for the history, culture, and traditions of their homeland, and responsibility for its future. May the Lord protect you!"

Greetings to the participants and guests of the XXVII World Russian People's Council were also sent by the Chairperson of the Federation Council Valentina Matviyenko, the Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin, the Chairman of the Supreme Court Igor Krasnov, and others.

Alexander Novak: The Russian economy is confirming its resilience and entering a new growth trajectory.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Government of the Russian Federation – Government of the Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

By the end of 2023–2024, the Russian economy demonstrated one of the highest growth rates in the past decade, increasing by a cumulative 8.4%. In nominal terms, the country's GDP has doubled since 2020, reaching 200 trillion rubles. GDP growth, amounting to 4.1% in 2023 and 4.3% in 2024, significantly exceeds the global average and the growth rates of leading Western economies. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak announced this during a speech as part of the "Platform of the Future: 100 Russian Projects. Economy" project, held at the National Center "Russia."

According to him, the foundation for the transition to a new model of long-term growth based on supply-side economics is targeted support for domestic production, increased investment activity, and increased labor productivity.

"We see that the Russian economy is not only demonstrating resilience but also achieving profound structural changes. The doubling of nominal GDP, record growth rates, and reduced dependence on the raw materials sector are the most important results of our work in recent years," said Alexander Novak.

To consolidate this success and achieve the national goal of maintaining fourth place in the world in terms of GDP based on purchasing power parity (PPP) and achieving sustainable growth rates above the global average by 2030, a comprehensive strategy has been developed, the Deputy Prime Minister noted. It includes three key areas. The first is adapting to systemic challenges, such as historically low unemployment, a shortage of skilled labor, ensuring technological sovereignty, and ongoing sanctions pressure. The second is the effective allocation of resources and investment in the context of limited budget expenditures, with a focus on high-growth sectors: mechanical engineering, chemicals, high technology, and tourism. The third is increasing labor productivity through large-scale optimization, robotics, and the implementation of lean manufacturing methods.

"Our strategy is long-term. Economic growth will directly depend on businesses' ability to identify new growth areas, improve efficiency, and unlock potential in promising niches. The foundation we've laid will enable us to embark on a trajectory of high-quality and dynamic development," noted Alexander Novak.

The discussion focused on strategic areas for Russian economic development. Specifically, the Deputy Prime Minister highlighted key support measures for small and medium-sized businesses, including preferential lending and leasing instruments, umbrella guarantees, microloans, and accessible infrastructure for industrial and technology parks.

Small technology companies have become one of the fastest-growing sectors. Thanks to the register model, companies have access to approximately 20 support measures, allowing them to grow at a faster rate than the SME sector as a whole.

Improving labor productivity is also a prerequisite for long-term economic growth, Alexander Novak noted. The implementation of lean manufacturing tools enabled businesses participating in these projects to increase profits by nearly 0.5 trillion rubles.

Special economic zones, which celebrated their 20th anniversary this year, are driving regional development. Thanks to established infrastructure and incentives, investors save up to half their capital costs, reducing their tax burden.

High added value is the key characteristic of the creative economy. Over the past seven years, the creative sector in Russia has grown four times faster than the overall economy. Its share of GDP now exceeds 4%. The industry's potential lies in developing a supply-side economy, which will accelerate structural change and the achievement of national goals.

"Long-term economic growth will be determined by effective collaboration between regional authorities and businesses, where regions act not as distributors but as growth managers, businesses accelerate technological transformation and the restructuring of supply chains, and the state ensures a breakthrough in social productivity through investments in human capital," Alexander Novak concluded.
