A ceremony was held at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University to present the gown and diploma of Honorary Doctor of SPbPU to Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Vitaly Savelyev, a graduate of the Polytechnic University.

"Today is a significant day that will go down in the history of our university. It's a great honor for the Polytechnic University that our graduates are returning, but in a new guise. Vitaly Gennadyevich, welcome to your alma mater!" SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy greeted the distinguished guest. "We are proud that among our graduates are outstanding individuals who play an invaluable and crucial role in the development of the country and in the advancement of its transportation system."

The Rector of SPbPU particularly noted that among the guests invited to the ceremony were Vitaly Gennadyevich's teachers: the curator of his study group, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Albert Yakovlevich Bashkaryov, and the scientific supervisor of Vitaly Savelyev's diploma thesis, Vladimir Vachaganovich Badalov, then an associate professor in the Department of Construction and Road Machinery and Equipment at LPI.

In his presentation to the Honorary Doctor, SPbPU Academic Secretary Dmitry Karpov highlighted his professional path from a commissioning engineer and chief designer to Deputy Prime Minister and Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation for the Development of the North-South International Transport Corridor. Since the 2000s, Vitaly Savelyev has held senior government positions: he served as Deputy Minister of Economic Development and Trade and Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation. On May 14, 2024, he was appointed Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation.

Dmitry Karpov emphasized that Vitaly Gennadievich has never lost touch with the Polytechnic University and continues to make a significant contribution to strengthening the Polytechnic's strategic partnerships in its ongoing engineering projects, which address the creation and development of innovative technologies with organizations in the transportation and road-bridge sectors.

The entire staff of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University highly values Vitaly Gennadievich's active participation and his personal involvement in the university's work. "We are all delighted and proud that, in addition to the main diploma signed in 1977 by Professor Konstantin Pavlovich Seleznev, Rector of the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute, today an honorary diploma signed by Andrei Ivanovich Russky, Rector of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, will be presented to this highly accomplished professional whose career began here," Dmitry Karpov emphasized.

Students wearing early 20th-century Polytechnic University uniforms carried the doctor's gown and cap into the Academic Council hall. As per tradition, the Polyhymnia choir performed the Gaudeamus anthem. Andrei Rudskoy presented Vitaly Gennadyevich with an Honorary Doctor medal, a book about the Polytechnic University's honorary doctors, and a copy of his personal file.

Vitaly Savelyev wholeheartedly thanked the Polytechnic University for this honor. In his response, he noted that the knowledge he gained at the Polytechnic University laid the foundation for his entire life: "The Polytechnic University's knowledge base was precisely that—it lasts a lifetime. It is a great honor for me that you have inducted me into the university. Present here today are two of my professors and mentors, to whom I am grateful for the way they instilled in me not only their knowledge but also their souls. We still communicate. Albert Yakovlevich is still on duty, developing new, modern road surfaces, and I help as much as I can, because these are unique developments that meet international standards. It is with great excitement and trepidation that I accept the Polytechnic University award, and I hope that we will continue to work together for many years to come."

Following the ceremony, Vitaly Savelyev was given a tour of his alma mater: he walked through the gallery of distinguished polytechnicians in the Main Academic Building, listened to the organ in the White Hall, and saw many unique exhibits in the SPbPU History Museum. His visit continued at the Technopolis Polytech Research Building, where the Deputy Prime Minister learned about the latest developments by Polytechnic scientists and engineers in additive manufacturing, unmanned systems, and construction.

Following this, Vitaly Gennadievich answered questions from SPbPU students and staff at a meeting of the "You Have the Floor!" discussion club and gave an interview to the Polymer student media center.

At the end of the visit, Vitaly Savelyev concluded: "The issue of national technological sovereignty is urgent today. Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University is actively involved in the implementation of a number of transport projects. I would especially like to highlight the expertise of SPbPU specialists in developing electric transport models and digital twin technologies for railway rolling stock components. They also have strong expertise in developing digital technologies for unmanned aerial systems. I am confident that, thanks to the Polytechnic University's high intellectual and expert potential, we can jointly ensure and strengthen our country's technological leadership in many areas."

On October 4, 2025, students from the Expeditionary Corps of the State University of Management arrived in the village of Vozhega in the Vologda Region to carry out restoration work in churches.

On the first day, Father John, the rector of the local diocese, gave the expedition participants a tour of the village and told them about its history. During the tour, the students visited the Church of the Prophet Elijah and the Trinity Church, which was under construction. For the latter, our expedition provided two bricks bearing the name of the University of Management and the University Expeditionary Corps, which will support the walls of the new church.

Next, the children visited the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in the village of Gridino and learned the history of this place.

On the second day, the students were introduced to the churches of Beketovskaya village. Their work week began there. The girls were busy landscaping the grounds of Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral, while the young men took on what was literally the dirtiest and dustiest work – clearing slag and sawdust from the church's ceiling and attic.

On the third day, work is scheduled to dismantle the ceiling of the old workshop at Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral. Our students will also help clean out the interior of St. Nicholas Church.

We share the impressions of the expedition participants, this time including a master's student from the Russian State University for the Humanities.

Nikita Belyaev, ISUiP, third-year: "Every trip is a living lesson that can't be learned in a classroom. It's constant movement, new people, unexpected discoveries. It's the best way to broaden your horizons—not by watching other people's content, but through your own experiences."

Polina Gindullina, IIS, third-year student: "For me, the Expeditionary Corps is primarily about people and the road. Expeditionary life, with its simple routine and lack of convention, naturally brings people together. Shared challenges and experiences become the foundation for warm and close relationships. And so, gradually, with each trip, the team develops into a true road family with its own stories and vibe. On the road, you develop the skill of being flexible and appreciating not only the result but the journey itself. It allows you to organize your thoughts, focus on what's important, and reminds you how wonderful it is to be in the moment and appreciate the beauty of nature."

Anastasia Kuznetsova, IOM, second-year: "The expeditionary corps feels like one big family, like friends you've been going to the same camp with for years. They're all sociable, hardworking people who know what they want. It's not like everyone's on their own on these trips; we're all together, a team that works together during the day and gathers in the evening to discuss the day, play games, and just spend time together. Plus, it's great to know that you're not only having a good time but also helping people."

Kătălin Grigoryev, ISULP, first-year master's student: "I enjoy being part of the Expeditionary Corps for several reasons. First and foremost, it's a huge contribution to the development of our university's expeditions. Also, in my opinion, it's during an expedition that you can truly experience and understand how a team works and the roles within it, which is essential knowledge for future university managers."

Fyodor Gudkov, RSUH, Historical and Archival Institute, Faculty of Archival Science and Documentation, first-year Master's student: "Traveling and expeditions are very interesting to me. I've been involved in active tourism since childhood, participating in long rafting trips on the Seversky Donets River and long-distance cycling trips. I'm happy to be part of the GUU Expeditionary Corps, as it offers a unique opportunity to see my country and also to benefit society by participating in creative work. This is precisely the goal of our current trip to the village of Beketovskaya in the Vologda Oblast. I'm looking forward to new experiences, the opportunity to contribute to the preservation of cultural and historical sites, and to helping specific people. This type of volunteer work is not at all foreign to me—I've volunteered twice in the SVO zone. I hope to go on hikes and trips with the GUU Expeditionary Corps as often as possible!"

Students from the State University of Management participated in one of the largest industry events in the development of creative industries – the Russian Creative Week Forum, which was held at the National Center "Russia."

The Russian Creativity Week Forum plays a key role in communicating visionary ideas and a new philosophy for our country's economic transformation. "We are changing the vector of long-term planning and moving to a new stage—from discussions and plans to practical steps. Today, creative industries are becoming a center of gravity, shaping the cultural code and helping the country develop. This is the path to increased competitiveness," noted Forum Director Marina Mongush in her welcoming speech.

The event's program combined strategic themes: human intellectual capital, creative entrepreneurship, cultural values, and national projects.

Students from the GUU Institute of Marketing, led by Olga Vasilyeva, attended lectures, presentations, and discussions, gaining a closer understanding of the advertising industry and its current issues.

"This day showed how important it is to think horizontally—not just about business or art, but about the interactions between them, about responsibility and values. The lectures on educational transformation and public leadership were particularly impressive—you see that they're not just about theory, but about concrete projects and mechanisms. After such a day, I'm not just inspired—I want to take action," said Alisa Ben Afna, a fourth-year student in the Advertising and Public Relations program at the State University of Management.

As part of Russian Creative Week 2025, a special AKAR session, "Advertising as Part of the Creative Economy: Focusing on National Identity," was held. It became a key discussion platform for the new role of the advertising industry, officially included in Russia's creative economy. Industry experts, government representatives, and business leaders discussed strategies for advertising development in the new economic environment, identifying key growth areas: the transition to national values, the development of domestic technologies, and entry into international markets.

The students were particularly impressed by the exhibition center's layout, dedicated to the achievements of Russia's regions. It showcases innovative robotics, VR and AR technology, a modern ventilator, modified prosthetics, the world's first 5D printer, and much more, all of which make them proud of Russia's cutting-edge technologies.

"This isn't just an exhibition, but an entire space where you can realize your potential, rethink your ideas about yourself and your future, gain motivation to take action, and see that change is possible here and now. The exhibition's main lesson is to love yourself, value your abilities, and boldly move toward your chosen goal," shared Polina Novikova, a fourth-year student in the Advertising and Public Relations program at the State University of Management.

Students also engaged in a discussion titled "Russian Superheroes: Cultural Code and Potential for the Global Market," featuring writer Sergei Lukyanenko, producer and showman Gavriil Gordeev, creative industries researcher Daria Pugacheva, and other experts. Understanding the cultural code was a key topic. The speakers noted that it has not been lost, but is being sought and understood.
