From October 7 to 28, the annual VIII All-Russian Online Financial Literacy Test, organized by the Central Bank of Russia, was held across the country. The event aims to systematically assess and improve knowledge and skills in personal finance. Participants were asked to select several topics for testing, covering topics such as savings, taxation, insurance, entrepreneurship, and more.

This year, over 200 students from the Faculty of Economics and Management at SPbGASU actively participated in the educational campaign. A number of questions presented in the tests are covered in detail in such disciplines as "Economic Literacy in the Context of Digital Transformation," "Taxes and Taxation," and "Enterprise Economics."

Third-year student Alexander Sidorov noted, "The knowledge I gained during the course helped me successfully solve problems related to tax deductions and lending." Vitalina Pchelnikova, a postgraduate student in the Department of Construction Economics and Housing and Utilities, commented on her participation in the event: "In certain professional fields, a proven level of financial literacy can be an advantage when applying for a job or advancing in the workplace."

Many participants successfully completed the test and added certificates to their portfolio of achievements, confirming they had passed both the basic and advanced financial assessments. Marina Egorova, Deputy Dean for Educational Work at the Faculty of Economics and Management and Senior Lecturer in the Department of Construction Management, notes, "Events like these play an important role in popularizing economic knowledge and developing skills in managing personal and family finances."

The People's University Theatre "Glagol" of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University took part in the III International Student Festival-Competition of Performances "Point A".

In the heart of Moscow, on the stage of the Boris Shchukin Theatre Institute, the Glagol Theatre Company presented the play "Second Lieutenant Kizhe," based on Yuri Tynyanov's novella of the same name. For the St. Petersburg Polytechnicians, participating in "Tochka A" was an opportunity to share their unique take on a well-known classic with the capital's audience.

"This is a wonderful, and in many ways lost, literary Russian language. The author's text is performed alongside the characters' direct speech. The story is based on a true story from Russian history during the reign of Paul I, brought to the stage in the form of absurdity and paradox," notes the theater's artistic director, Konstantin Gershov.

This production, which first premiered in 1994 and recently celebrated its 30th anniversary, featured students and graduates of the Polytechnic University.

"The play has been running at our theater for 30 years. But we've given it a modern interpretation," shared actress and 2024 Humanities Institute graduate Sofia Asmolova. "It was very scary to perform in front of an unfamiliar audience, in an unfamiliar auditorium, but we were very warmly received by the audience."

The awards ceremony took place in the VGIK concert hall. "Glagol," a festival finalist and one of the five best amateur student theater groups in Russia, received a diploma and gifts. At the gala concert, which featured 15 of the best multi-genre performances from participating universities, "Glagol" presented a presentation of the theater of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and its own repertoire.

NSU teams took prizes at the Impulse T1 hackathon.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

From October 23 to 26, the IT holding T1 held a hackathon for young professionals and students at Novosibirsk State University as part of the "Impulse T1" conference. Over 300 participants from across Russia, from students to aspiring developers, took part in the competition.

The event continued the series of hackathons previously held in Nizhny Novgorod and Yekaterinburg and became one of the largest platforms for the exchange of experience between students and experts from leading IT companies. The total prize fund for the entire series was 3.8 million rubles, 800,000 of which were awarded in Novosibirsk.

Participants worked on two case studies. The first involved creating a system for generating personalized backgrounds using an ML module that would run locally on the user's device without transmitting data to external servers. The second case focused on automated Git activity analysis for development teams. Automated analysis enables the timely identification of problems in development processes and inefficient resource allocation within teams.

Teams from NSU won all three prize places in the first case.

The "Pirates of the Ob Sea" team (Maxim Yemelyanov and Ulyana Zaitseva, master's students from the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, and Mark Skvortsov, Alexander Shovkoplyas, and Alina Vdovichenko, graduates of the Institute of Intelligent Robotics) took first place. The team received a prize of 180,000 rubles.

"I led the team solving the case 'Digital Dress Code: A Background That Makes You Stand Out.' The task was to develop a model that segments individuals from their backgrounds in a video stream. The ML module had to be robust to low light, light interference, and similar colors, and the personalization module had to generate customized backgrounds based on templates and employee data, while adhering to contrast and privacy rules," explains Maxim Yemelyanov.

The team began their work by analyzing existing solutions and identifying factors affecting segmentation quality. They then studied open-source models, selected suitable options, improved them, and integrated them into the system. At the same time, they developed interactive elements over the video stream to clearly demonstrate the algorithm's operation.

"We didn't just aim to complete the task, but to make the solution as stable and visually understandable as possible. It was important that the model looked 'live' and responded to the user in real time. The challenge was that everything had to work locally, without cloud services, so optimization took a lot of effort," notes Maxim.

Alexander Shovkoplyas, who was part of the winning team, also shares his impressions:

"The main challenge for us was working with technologies we'd never used before—for example, running neural networks via JavaScript directly in the browser. We managed to not only create a truly high-quality solution but also convey to the hackathon experts the potential uses for it. We implemented features in the app that are useful for companies: their image is built on small details—a suitable background for video calls in line with their corporate colors, a convenient way to display employees' names and job titles on the background. This is precisely what we accomplished and expertly presented at the hackathon."

Second place in the same case was taken by the VI_KA team (Ivan Kadilenko, Maxim Unzhakov, Egor Palkin), and third place was taken by the UML team (Stavr Mariskin, Fedor Chumakin, Daniil Kolesnik, Damir Shaikhov and Yuri Malyugin).

Thus, all the prize places in the first case were taken by NSU teams, confirming the high level of students' preparation and their competitiveness in the federal arena.

The Impulse T1 hackathon became not only a competition but also a platform for students to connect with IT industry experts. Participants note that such formats provide an opportunity to apply their knowledge in practice, receive feedback from professionals, and see how ideas are transformed into real solutions.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Minister of Sport and Chairman of the Russian Olympic Committee Mikhail Degtyarev congratulated the coaches on their professional holiday and discussed government support measures.

"Coaches play a key role in the development of Russian sports, as they help develop the talents of young and adult athletes, invest their whole heart and soul in their students, and sincerely care about their results. Today, more than 88,000 coaches work in the sports reserve training system. Particular attention is paid to attracting them to the regions. This year, at the direction of President Vladimir Putin, the "Zemsky Trainer" program was launched. It helps children receive high-quality sports training regardless of their place of residence. I congratulate all the coaches of our country on this holiday! I thank them for their contribution to Russia's sporting achievements, the development of our younger generation, and the popularization of sports," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The government has allocated 2.73 billion rubles for the "Zemsky Trainer" program through 2028. Under this program, trainers relocating to work in villages and small towns with populations of up to 50,000 will receive between 1 million and 2 million rubles.

The government has been consistently strengthening its support measures for industry specialists. In recent years, coaches' salaries have increased, and additional incentive payments have been introduced, including for student achievement, mentoring, and the development of adaptive sports.

"Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin emphasized that our country has been and remains one of the world's leading sporting powers, the birthplace of great athletes, victories, and records. At the core of this is our national coaching school, traditionally considered one of the strongest in the world. Today, 2,239 specialists have been awarded the title of Honored Coach of Russia. The state's goal is not only to enhance the prestige of the profession but also to create conditions for professional growth, so that coaches feel supported and confident about their future. The Russian Ministry of Sport is consistently developing a system for training qualified specialists, improving the quality of education and providing the industry with sought-after professionals," emphasized Mikhail Degtyarev.

Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin chaired a meeting of the Presidium (Headquarters) of the Government Commission on Regional Development. Participants discussed preliminary results of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project and federal projects, and reviewed recent applications for project financing using Treasury Infrastructure Loans (TILs).

"Following the President's instructions, we continue to monitor housing construction in the regions. The groundwork we've built so far allows us to maintain a good pace. The volume of housing under construction has increased to 120 million square meters, up 2% from last year, and urban development potential has grown to 471 million square meters. We must maintain this pace and ensure that housing is commissioned this year—over 100 million square meters. We are also continuing to actively modernize the country's road network and public utility infrastructure. It's important for regional leaders to delve deeper into housing and utilities issues: take personal control of the industry's status and pricing, and review reserves and technical parameters. A comprehensive and systemic approach is needed here," said Marat Khusnullin.

In terms of achieving key performance indicators, Marat Khusnullin noted the high results of the Saratov Region, the Republics of Tatarstan, Buryatia, North Ossetia-Alania, and Perm Krai.

In his report, Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Irek Faizullin noted that the comprehensive modernization of public utilities infrastructure is a priority for Russia's construction industry.

"The goal is to increase the grid replacement rate to 2.5% by 2030 and improve the quality of housing and utilities services for 20 million people across the country. The Russian Ministry of Construction, together with the Federal Resources Fund, has launched a corresponding monitoring program for comprehensive plans and memoranda. To fulfill these obligations, regions must analyze the relevance of utility plans and comprehensive plans, ensure the specificity and accuracy of technical solutions incorporated into design documentation, assess the impact of implemented measures on industry indicators, and monitor unit costs and the performance of utility companies. There are indeed many tasks. We are working systematically, including on increasing the digitalization of the housing and utilities sector and streamlining interactions between regional agencies," stated Irek Fayzullin.

During the meeting, the Presidium of the Government Commission reviewed applications for treasury infrastructure loans.

"We continue our systematic work on distributing treasury infrastructure loans. We have approved new applications from the Nizhny Novgorod Region, the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), and the Republic of Karelia for a total of 19.8 billion rubles. These are important decisions that directly impact the socioeconomic development of communities and regions as a whole. More specifically, the projects cover a variety of areas: sports, tourism, and road infrastructure. The quality of public services will also significantly improve for hundreds of thousands of residents. The implementation of these projects depends largely on the coordinated and efficient work of regional teams. Residents should receive new facilities and see positive changes as soon as possible," noted Marat Khusnullin.

The Ministry of Construction oversees the Treasury Infrastructure Loans program, and the Territorial Development Fund participates in its implementation.

"The Territorial Development Fund continues to process applications for funding infrastructure projects under the CIC. Currently, projects from 82 regions have been approved, totaling 353.63 billion rubles. These funds will be used to modernize housing and utilities, as well as develop social, road transport, and tourism infrastructure," said Vasily Kupyzin, CEO of the Territorial Development Fund.

Specifically, the Nizhny Novgorod Region was approved for a 6.4 billion ruble CIC for the modernization of its public utility infrastructure. The planned work includes the reconstruction of the water supply system, sewer system, and the construction of four boiler houses.

Additionally, 2.28 billion rubles will be allocated to the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug for the equipping of ski slopes and ski lift infrastructure.

In the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), plans are underway to use 10.18 billion rubles of KIK funds to build a bridge across the Lena River near Yakutsk and connect the new Sportivny microdistrict to utility networks.

In addition, the Republic of Karelia will receive a KIK grant of 1.02 billion rubles for the reconstruction of the stadium and major repairs to water treatment facilities.
