Olga Lytkina, director of the theater studio and director of the SPbPU Student Theater, has won the "Recognition" award from the Union of Theater Workers of Russia. She won in the category "For Contribution to the Development of Amateur Theater in Russia." This joyous event took place on the eve of International Theater Day, celebrated on March 27.

"When Alla Valentinovna Zorina, Honored Worker of Culture of the Russian Federation and Head of the Amateur Theater Department of the Union of Theater Workers of the Russian Federation, called me and told me I'd won the 2026 "Recognition" award, I was literally stunned. I'm incredibly happy to have received such high recognition for my work!" Olga Vladimirovna shared. "After all, I joined the student theater as an applicant after seeing the recruitment notice. I opened the door and stayed there!"

Olga Lytkina entered the St. Petersburg Institute of Mechanical Engineering (LMZ-VTUZ) in 2000 and became actively involved in the Student Theater from her first days of study. In March 2004, she received a diploma for Best Actress in the play "My Happiness" at the first T-ART Student Youth Amateur Theater Festival in Petrozavodsk. She then received diplomas from the State Russian House of Folk Art (GRDNT) for her acting at the 5th All-Russian Festival "Success" in Shchelykovo, Kostroma Region, the "New Look" festival in St. Petersburg, and other festivals.

In 2004, Viktor Borisenko, the artistic director of the Student Theater, suggested Olga organize a theater studio for first-year students. After graduating from the Institute of Mechanical Engineering (PIMash), Olga Lytkina remained as the rector's assistant for educational work. In 2012, following the merger of PIMash and the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, she was transferred to the position of director of the Student Theater of SPbPU, where she still works today. When first-year students join the theater, they first study with Olga Vladimirovna in the studio, and then gradually, by their second year, some of them are transferred to the main cast.

"For me, theater isn't just a word, not just a few vivid memories. For me, theater is an ecosystem in which everything and everyone is an integral and important part of life," says Olga Lytkina. "I am grateful to the Union of Theater Workers of Russia for recognizing my work, to the leadership of the Polytechnic University for the opportunity to introduce students to art, and, of course, to my beloved Student Theater of the Polytechnic University, headed by Honored Cultural Figure Viktor Filippovich Borisenko."

For one evening, the large hall of Sber's tech hub became a magnet for active students and faculty of the Polytechnic University, IT experts, and employers. As part of the collaboration between SPbPU and Sberbank, one of the most significant IT events, KIT Day 2026, was held, with the Higher School of Software Engineering (ISSE) serving as its regular organizer.

VSPI Associate Professor Alexander Shchukin describes the event's purpose: "KIT Day" stands for IT Career Day. This event focuses on the most discussed trends in the IT sector, which are relevant today and will remain relevant tomorrow. It's about how to become a sought-after IT specialist and launch a career. The event is prepared by students for students.

This year, students from various institutes, united by an interest in information technology, had the opportunity to connect with top specialists from Sber, Gazprom Neft, Solantek, and other industry leaders in our region. The overall theme of this year's event was "Hard vs. Soft." Three keynote presentations from experts, as well as lively panel discussions between industry representatives and students, centered on pressing issues related to this topic. How can developing soft skills help in professional work and career development? How can one acquire essential competencies at university or during internships? What soft skills specifically do IT companies look for in interviews? Even the professional community doesn't always have clear answers to these questions, making the discussions at IT Day all the more engaging.

According to Leonid Potapov, Head of IT Education at Gazprom Neft, such events help build dialogue between business representatives and students—future employees in the industry.

"The event was superbly organized, with many students and great engagement. And most importantly, it was created by students," noted Andrey Vlasov, Regional Director of Sber's Technohub in St. Petersburg.
