An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The opening of a new stream of corporate programs from SPbPU and Gazprom Neft took place at the "Boiling Point-FabLab" Youth Project Activity Center.

Today, training is conducted in five areas.

"It was a pleasure to see a full house at the opening of our corporate Master's program. This project was made possible thanks to our strategic partner, Gazprom Neft. We've created unique programs in economics, IT, telecommunications, and cybersecurity so that everyone can develop in their favorite field. The key is to embrace challenges, try new things, and fully immerse yourself in learning. The ball is in the air! Onward to knowledge and new opportunities!" said SPbPU Vice Rector for Academic Affairs Lyudmila Pankova.

First of all, I'm delighted to see everyone at the opening of our corporate Master's program. This year, we enrolled twice as many students as last year—an excellent achievement for us. Special thanks to the Polytechnic University and all the management, faculty, and corporate partners for their support and assistance in implementing our programs. Our research and education center was established in 2022, and since then, we've been continuously developing new training programs in IT and business analysis. Dear first-year students and Master's students, you're taking the first step toward your future career—learn, try new things, participate in projects, and we'll be there to help you apply your knowledge in practice. I'm delighted to welcome you! You will shape our future," noted Irina Rudskaya, Director of the Gazprom Neft IT and Business Analysis Research and Education Center.

On behalf of Gazprom Neft, the students were addressed by Ilya Dementyev, Rector of the Gazprom Neft Corporate University; Anton Dumin, IT Director of Gazprom Neft; and Leonid Potapov, Head of IT Education at Gazprom Neft.

You've come a long way. Eleven years of school, four years of university, and now two years of corporate master's program. After that, you'll join the company, where learning will continue throughout your career. It's important to approach your studies consciously: choose programs and courses that will help you be effective in the future and continually develop your skills. Life will require new knowledge, and our task is to prepare you for these challenges," emphasized Ilya Dementyev, Rector of Gazprom Neft Corporate University.

Each Master's program here has its own important objective: from economics and business analysis to information systems operation. These areas provide the opportunity to implement large-scale initiatives, ensure the reliability and efficiency of corporate infrastructure, and bring real value to the company. Listen to your inner voice, be proactive, and strive to learn. Most of our corporate Master's program graduates are already working at Gazprom Neft, solving truly important problems. I wish you success in mastering the program and applying your knowledge in practice! said Anton Dumin, IT Director of Gazprom Neft.

It's no coincidence that we're back at the Polytechnic Tower today—it was here, four years ago, that we began discussing the creation of a corporate master's program. Since then, four cohorts of students have graduated, and just three months ago, we summarized the results of the second graduating class. Today, we're pleased to present another program—one with real-world cases that are fully applicable in practice. "Learn actively, apply your knowledge, and create real results," noted Leonid Potapov, Head of IT Education at Gazprom Neft.

This year, special attention is being paid to international opportunities. Six of the best SPbPU corporate master's students will undergo internships in China in the fall of 2025.

SPbPU and Gazprom Neft corporate programs offer students a number of advantages.

Mentoring: Each student has a personal mentor from the company who supports their learning and professional development. Fast Track to the Company: Practical training with Gazprom Neft experts provides a direct path to internships and employment. Corporate Scholarship: Top students receive additional payments in addition to the basic scholarship.

Today, SPbPU and Gazprom Neft's corporate master's programs unite over 90 students and continue to grow, offering a unique balance of theory and practice, as well as direct access to industry.

A front-end loader has been developed to speed up snow removal in urban areas.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Department of Ground Transport and Technological Machines at SPbGASU conducts research into improving the design of municipal vehicles, in particular, snow removal equipment for city highways.

Today, the capacity of Russian roads is significantly reduced in winter: after heavy snowfalls, the passage of snowplows creates snow banks along the roads, taking up to half the highway lane. While these machines are quick to clear the roadway of snow, clearing the snowplows takes a long time.

At the same time, municipal companies lack standard snow removal equipment—snow blowers—for city highways. Front-end loaders, used additionally during heavy snowfalls, mitigate the problem, but they block at least two traffic lanes when loading snow onto vehicles. It's worth noting that front-end loaders are the most common type of specialized equipment used by road and construction companies, and they are rarely used for construction work in winter.

An obvious technical solution for improving snow removal from urban roads is to equip front-end loaders with a rear-dumping function. This allows the loader to load snow into a dump truck while remaining in the same lane.

Fig. 1 shows a diagram of the proposed design of a front loader with rear bucket discharge.

The loader consists of a base machine 1, a double-beam boom 2, the lower part of which is pivotally fixed in the front part of the base machine, a bucket 3, pivotally fixed on the upper part of the boom 2, a telescopic boom lifting hydraulic cylinder 4, pivotally fixed between the boom beams on the front part of the base machine frame, a bucket turning hydraulic cylinder 5, installed by means of a clamp 6 on a bracket 7, fixed on a crossbar connecting the boom beams in their upper part, a metal chute 8, installed above the cabin and the engine by means of a pair of two-legged stands 9, fixedly fixed on the sides of the front part of the frame 10, and two hydraulic cylinders 11, pivotally fixed on the sides of the middle part of the frame 10, a damping device 12, fixed on the front part of the frame 10 at a height from the road surface corresponding to the height of the bumper of the dump truck. 13.

The hydraulic cylinder 5 for turning the bucket 3 is pivotally secured in its middle part to the boom 2 by means of a clamp 6.

Chute 8 is pivotally attached to posts 9 and hydraulic cylinder rods 11. The right end of chute 8 extends beyond the base vehicle by one to one and a half meters, and its height should be at least half a meter higher than the top edge of dump truck 13 used for hauling snow, i.e., 3.2 m. Number 14 shows the trajectory of the boom end. Number 15 shows the shaft of snow being removed.

The proposed front loader operates as follows. Before collecting snow from windrow 15, located along the right edge of the roadway, loader 1 lowers bucket 3 to the lower position (shown by the dotted line) by retracting hydraulic cylinder 4. Dump truck 11 approaches the loader from the rear of chute 6. Chute 6 is lowered by retracting cylinder 9.

Bucket 3 is filled with snow by moving loader 1 to the left. Once full, the bucket is rotated clockwise using cylinder 5 until the open end of the bucket is horizontal. Boom 2 is then raised using cylinder 4 until bucket 3 is above the left edge of chute 8. While boom 2 is raised, the open end of the bucket is maintained in a horizontal position using cylinder 5. Once bucket 3 is above chute 8, it is rotated clockwise using cylinder 5 to discharge snow into the chute. While the bucket is being raised, the dump truck drives close to the loader until its rear bumper touches damper 12.

The bucket is then lowered to the snow collection position. One to two seconds after cylinder 4 is activated to lower the boom, cylinders 11 are activated to raise the left side of chute 8 to the top position (shown by the dotted line), ensuring that snow slides from chute 8 into the dump truck body 13. Once the loader begins moving to collect snow with the bucket, the chute is lowered.

The cycle of picking up and unloading snow is repeated three to five times until the body of the dump truck 13 is filled.

For the convenience of the dump truck driver, the damping device 12 can be equipped with sound and light signaling sensors.

Computer modeling has shown that the new loader's productivity is three times higher than that of a claw loader and one and a half times higher than that of a typical front-end loader.

An application for a utility model has been submitted for the design of the new loader.

The development was carried out as part of research projects by the research and teaching staff of SPbGASU using internal grants in 2025.

RUDN University student projects received grant support from the Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises (FASIE)

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peoples'Friendship University of Russia

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Twenty-five projects by RUDN University students won the all-Russian "Student Startup" competition, organized by the Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises (FASIE). Each received a grant of 1 million rubles for the further development and implementation of their ideas.

We'll cover all the winning projects, starting with the work of Graduate School of Management students Nikola Balev and Kirill Kovalev.

Virtual tourism

Nikola's project is the chatbot-based digital ecosystem QuestBook. The platform is a unique service of interactive digital tour routes and quests that allow each participant to immerse themselves in a captivating journey through the historical sites and landmarks of cities around the world.

The system has three main directions:

Adventure Quests offer unique routes through cities for young people; Business Quest offers corporate solutions for museums, parks, and events; and UNI Quest helps students adapt to university through interactive routes.

The product's relevance and advantages lie in its ability to reach a large audience with minimal costs, its content easily adapts to any changes in demand, and its platform utilizes a personalized approach to predicting tourist preferences (while fully respecting data privacy).

The development had previously participated in the RUDN.VC accelerator and won the StartUP pitching session.

"Receiving the grant is a major milestone for our team. The funds will primarily be used to promote the platform in Moscow and the Moscow region. Some of the funds will also be used to establish a legal entity, as required by the grant, to develop the platform's content and attract freelancers," says Nikola Balev, a first-year Master's student at the RUDN University Graduate School of Management (Tourism major).

As Nikola noted, the project team has been collecting feedback on the system for over three months, improving visuals, and adding new content to the platform. They plan to attract at least 3,000 unique users within a year and add content about other regions beyond Moscow.

"Our strategic plans for the next eighteen months also include business diversification and the creation of a subsidiary specializing in the B2B segment. We are currently conducting research, testing hypotheses and implementation possibilities, and developing the company's concept. The results are positive, and we hope to launch a new subsidiary platform by the end of the year. Regarding monetization, the project involves paying users for tours, with the price being quite reasonable and competitive in the digital quest tour market," notes Nikola.

An app for marathon runners

Kirill Kovalev received a grant for his sports mobile app project. This digital tool is designed to organize and manage mass sports competitions, especially marathons and running events. The app helps athletes track their physical activity, monitor their training progress, and find like-minded sports enthusiasts.

The project's creator explained that receiving the grant will allow the team to expand the app's functionality and implement new technologies that improve user experience. With the Foundation's support, the developers will be able to enhance the product's effectiveness and appeal.

"We're delighted that our idea has received such high praise. The funds will be used for platform development, testing, and launch. A basic service will be created with the foundation for future functionality expansion," says Kirill Kovalev, a second-year Bachelor's student at the Graduate School of Management (Hotel Management).

According to the student, direct collaboration with RUDN University is planned to attract the initial audience. The service will be promoted through digital channels and partners; negotiations are already underway.

"In a year, I expect to have a working service with its first users and partners. The main thing is to conduct a test launch and ensure the product meets the audience's needs. For me, this will be proof that my team and I are moving in the right direction," says Kirill Kovalev.

About the competition

The Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises (FASIE) annually holds the Student Startup competition, which aims to support talented young researchers and developers, develop scientific potential, and implement modern technological solutions.

In 2025, a record number of applications were received—approximately 11,600 projects from various regions of Russia and abroad. Participants represented 345 universities located in 81 constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Among them were students from Tatarstan, Moscow, Bashkortostan, St. Petersburg, Perm Krai, and Novosibirsk. Representatives from 31 foreign countries also participated in the competition.

Financial News: Amur Region Begins Placing Public Bonds on Finuslugi

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Moscow Exchange – Moscow Exchange –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On September 23, 2025, the Amur Region's one billion-ruble public bond offering will begin on the Finuslugi marketplace. This is the first of four public bond offerings planned for the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD) and the Arctic by the end of this year.

The funds raised will be used to implement projects significant to the region, such as the renovation of healthcare facilities, the creation of a rehabilitation center for people with disabilities, and the construction and modernization of housing and public utilities.

The bonds will have a two-year maturity. The par value of each bond is 1,000 rubles. The coupon is fixed at 15.79% per annum throughout the bonds' maturity, and is paid quarterly.

Investors will be able to tender bonds for redemption beginning January 19, 2026. The execution of a sell order will take up to four business days from the time of submission. Accrued coupon income will be calculated until the order is executed.

Igor Alutin, Senior Managing Director for Retail Business and the Finuslugi Marketplace at Moscow Exchange:

"We are pleased to welcome the Amur Region's public bonds to the marketplace and are proud to offer the market a tool that allows Russians to not only increase their capital but also provide social support by investing in the development of our country's regions. We see a steady increase in the popularity of public bonds, which have already proven themselves to be a simple and effective instrument, so Finuslugi will continue to expand their product line in line with growing demand."

Tatyana Mitrofanova, Minister of Finance of the Amur Region:

"Last year, the Amur Region issued its first exchange-traded bonds worth 2 billion rubles. And despite the fact that only qualified investors were able to purchase them, demand exceeded supply by 2.5 times. The intense interest in the region's investment instruments prompted the Amur Region to take the next step. The issuance of public bonds was a step toward those who want to preserve and grow their wealth for the benefit of their home region. This issue is not simply a sum of money earmarked for "something important," but a partnership between the region and its residents."

An agreement providing for the issuance of national bonds by subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District and the Arctic was signed between Moscow Exchange and the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF 2025). In addition to the Amur Region, the Magadan Region, the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, and the city of Yakutsk are also considering issuing national bonds on Finuslugi in 2025.

People's bonds became available for purchase on Finuslugi in 2021. Only individuals can purchase them—they are not traded on the stock exchange and have no secondary market. A brokerage account is not required to purchase people's bonds on Finuslugi: all transactions are conducted directly between the individual and the issuer. Simply register in your personal account or the Finuslugi mobile app using the Gosuslugi service.

Finuslugi is a marketplace for money created by the Moscow Exchange. On Finuslugi, you can select and open bank deposits online 24/7, take out cash loans, purchase mutual fund units, public bonds from companies and Russian regions, as well as compulsory motor insurance (OSAGO), comprehensive motor insurance (CASCO), mortgage insurance, property insurance, and other products. You can top up your deposits and accounts on Finuslugi free of charge using the Faster Payment System (FPS). The service can be used regardless of region, anywhere in Russia and worldwide.
