Students Institute of Intelligent Robotics Alexey Spirkin and Polina Novikova of Novosibirsk State University attended Youth Day as part of the 10th All-Russian Occupational Safety and Health Week (VNOT-2025), held at the Sirius Educational Center. The event brought together young professionals from across the country and participated in a program filled with competitions, workshops, and games on workplace safety.

"By going to Sirius, we set ourselves the goal of providing maximum coverage for our university's student events and demonstrating that safety in any work activity is a pressing issue supported at the state level. We hope that by next year, thanks to our outreach efforts, there will be students among NSU who will be able to share their perspectives with the entire country," said Alexey Spirkin, a third-year student at the NSU Institute of Industrial Research.

The Youth Day program included interactive tracks at the booths of major employers and participating companies. Among the interesting projects highlighted by the students was the SberMedII booth, featuring a cutting-edge disease risk detector based on a patient's face using photoplethysmography—a technology capable of diagnosing a variety of health parameters using a camera. Participants also appreciated the helpful interactive session by Technoavia, dedicated to personal protective equipment (PPE) and safety regulations.

At the event, NSU students seized the opportunity to discuss practices for developing artificial intelligence training programs with Netology speakers and discover new ideas for development.

The day concluded with a vibrant closing ceremony featuring a concert by Angelica Agurbash and a prize drawing.

"We thank the NSU Career Development Center and the NSU Youth Policy Office for such a wonderful and unforgettable experience! It was a great honor for us to represent our home university," Alexey concluded.

The trip to Sirius was a valuable social experience for NSU students, allowing them not only to learn about the latest innovations in occupational safety but also to represent the university at a large-scale federal event.

A series of events, "Metamorphoses of Culture," was held at NSU.

From September 1st to 25th, Novosibirsk State University and the House of Scientists in Akademgorodok hosted the ninth annual "Metamorphoses of Culture" event, organized by the Department of History, Culture, and Arts. Humanitarian Institute (GI) NSU.

Each year, the organizers come up with a new theme for the event, one that will be relatable to many and encompass a broad range of history. This year, "Metamorphoses of Culture" focused on the era of Alexander Pushkin.

"At our event, we're discussing the Pushkin era, covering literature, education, criticism, and much more. Pushkin is a timeless classic! And we strive to adapt to modern realities and present information in a vibrant and engaging way. For example, we had a lecture by Maria Sergeevna Berendeyeva, where we discussed Pushkin's portrayal in cinema. A great many films have been based on his works, and how many are dedicated to him! We held a closing lecture-concert, "Music against the backdrop of the era: A.S. Pushkin and M.I. Glinka." Maria Aleksandrovna Timofeeva delivered the lecture and simultaneously played the piano, performing works by Glinka, a contemporary of Pushkin," commented Victoria Vybornova, PhD in History and assistant professor in the Department of History, Culture, and Arts at the Novosibirsk State University Institute of History.

The lecturers included leading scholars and distinguished teachers from scientific and educational institutions in Novosibirsk and Moscow. Anna and Marina Sidorov were invited speakers from the State Archives of the Russian Federation. They shared their insights into the process of publishing sources and the challenges they face when working with them. For example, the lecture "Benckendorff: A Portrait Against the Background of an Era" described how the military leader's diary and letters, written in various languages, were translated. The key to translation is not only to convey the beauty and style of the original but also to preserve the author's intended meaning.

"Today I gave a lecture on the image of Alexander Sergeevich in cinema. My professional interests are as a linguist, but I also study polycode texts, that is, texts that combine different sign systems. Wine is a prime example of such a polycode text, so I have some expertise in certain aspects of cinema. I'm very pleased to see so many people in the audience today. This means that Pushkin's work still holds interest; it attracts and excites people, which is wonderful," shared Maria Berendeyeva, PhD in Philology, Associate Professor in the Department of History of Culture and Arts, and Senior Researcher at the Heritage Research and Educational Center at the Novosibirsk State University Institute of Geography.

Schoolchildren from nearby schools, students, young researchers, teachers and university professors were able to attend the lectures.

"The main audience is, of course, philologists and historians, but it's also nice to see mathematicians, physicists, and economists. We have interested students from various departments, because Alexander Sergeevich is a classic. I recently conducted a seminar at the Institute of Intelligent Robotics at NSU, and one boy recited an excerpt from 'The Song of the Prophetic Oleg' to me. Despite everyone's different specialties, a love of poetry lives within us all," added Victoria Vybornova.

A high-quality road network is the foundation for dynamic regional development. In the nearly three years since the reunification of the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, as well as the Zaporizhia and Kherson Oblasts, with Russia, their road networks have undergone significant changes. One of the most ambitious projects is the R-280 "Novorossiya" highway, the main land artery leading to Crimea. An additional 10 billion rubles from the federal budget were allocated for its major overhaul. Road workers are currently completing preparatory work on the section of the road from Mariupol to the Zaporizhia Oblast, as announced by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"Since 2022, the reunited regions have been actively integrating into the Russian national space, integrating into the country's extensive road network. The land route to Crimea, part of the Azov Transport Ring, runs through their territories. Federal Highway R-280 "Novorossiya" is part of this ring, which was expanded to four lanes last year from the border of the Rostov Region to Mariupol. Road workers are currently completing preparatory work on the approximately 32 km long sections of the major overhaul from Mariupol to the border with the Zaporizhzhia Region," the Deputy Prime Minister explained.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that on the Novoazovsk section of the road in the DPR, specialists have completed the embankment and subbase layers, and are beginning to lay the first layers of asphalt concrete. The first stage of the bridge over the Gruzsky Yelanchik River is complete. One of the key development projects for the Novorossiya Highway is the Mariupol bypass. The preparatory phase is underway, and production capacity is being expanded for the main construction and installation work.

"The federal road network of the LPR, DPR, and Zaporizhia and Kherson regions is of strategic importance, especially in the current geopolitical situation. We are making every effort to thoroughly modernize the road infrastructure. We are working on all key areas—from bringing existing roads up to standard and expanding them during major repairs to constructing new highways, with an emphasis on bypassing major population centers, such as Mariupol in the DPR. Such a comprehensive, integrated approach will undoubtedly provide a significant boost to the economies of all four regions," emphasized Rosavtodor Head Roman Novikov.
