St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and the State Hermitage Museum present a new joint project – a series of video films “Formula of Art”.

The leading engineering university and the largest museum in Russia are long-standing partners. The cooperation began back in 2016, and at the end of 2023 it received a new impetus for development. All these years, the university and the museum have been developing and improving the engineering and security systems of the Hermitage, conducting scientific research, interacting in expert and information-analytical activities, joint public and youth projects, in the field of employment and job placement.

The new creative initiative was born as a result of mutual interest and cooperation between the press services of both institutions and has evolved into a large-scale joint project.

"The idea is to connect masterpieces of the past with the achievements of modern science," said Marianna Dyakova, Head of the SPbPU Public Relations Department. "The project is based on searching for parallels between the museum exhibits and the scientific developments of Polytechnic University scientists. For example, research in the field of lithium-ion batteries is reflected in antique mechanical watches from the museum collection. More than a dozen such interesting intersections have already been found, and work on new ideas continues."

In the first episode of Formula of Art, viewers are invited to take a journey from the Middle Ages to the present day. The subject of the research was the protective clothing of warriors five hundred years ago and now. The role of an expert on knightly armor was played by Yuri Efimov, a senior researcher at the Arsenal Department of the State Hermitage. Straight from the Knights' Hall of the Hermitage, we are transported to the Scientific and Educational Center of the Polytechnic University "Mechanical Engineering Technologies and Materials", where its director Pavel Novikov talks about modern protective equipment.

The science that the Hermitage is engaged in comprehends and organizes the past. Scientists at the Polytechnic University create technologies of the future. Our project, born out of mutual curiosity, shows that both can be equally fascinating, says Olga Eberts, Head of the Information Projects Department of the State Hermitage.

The authors plan to release new films every month. Not only the Polytechnic University staff and students, but absolutely all viewers will be able to see them on the university's information resources, immerse themselves in the atmosphere of historical halls where works of art created by great creators are kept, and feel the amazing connection of eras, the unity of age-old wisdom, talent and service to progress. The project will also be presented on the official communication channels of the State Hermitage. Placing content on the media platforms of one of the world's leading museums will allow for maximum audience reach and attract the attention of both Russian and international users.

The target audience of the project is the broadest circles of the public. It will be interesting for both children and teenagers, as well as adults who want to see familiar museum exhibits in a new light. "Formula of Art" allows you to take a new look at the connection between the past, the present and the future, – Marianna Dyakova is sure.

On September 3, 2025, a meeting of students from leading Moscow universities — natives of the Kursk region — with the acting governor of the region, Alexander Khinshtein, took place within the walls of the Bauman Moscow State Technical University. Among others, students from the State University of Management attended the meeting.

The dialogue was structured in the format of an open discussion, which allowed young people to directly ask questions about the prospects for the development of the region, as well as to identify key areas that, in their opinion, require priority attention. First of all, students were interested in the topics of young specialists returning to their small homeland after completing their studies in Moscow, creating a comfortable infrastructure for life and work, developing education, culture and the economy.

Alexander Khinshtein emphasized the strategic objective of attracting young specialists back to the region:

"It is interesting to learn about the problems that concern you and to answer an important question: what is needed to prevent young people from leaving Kursk Oblast? And this is, perhaps, the main goal of my meeting today – to talk about how I see the development of the region and why it is very important for young and competent specialists and managers to return home," the acting governor noted.

The meeting was also attended by Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Konstantin Mogilevsky, who noted the special connection of young people with their small homeland. In his speech, he emphasized that, despite studying and working in Moscow, many students maintain deep personal and family ties with the Kursk region, and it is this connection that forms the basis for the return of young people and the future development of the region.

During the discussion, issues directly affecting the quality of life and prospects of the region were raised. Particular attention was paid to the development of transport infrastructure: students were interested in the construction of a new railway station in Kursk, the possibility of electrifying sections and constructing a second track in Zheleznogorsk, resuming work on the reconstruction of the airport, as well as the condition of roads and transport links between settlements.

A significant block of questions concerned the preservation of historical and cultural heritage. Alexander Khinshtein noted that there are nine cultural heritage sites on the territory of the Kursk Fortress, of which restoration work is already underway on four; in parallel, the reconstruction of the historical building of the former men's classical gymnasium has been resumed, and in the future, improvement of the Znamensky Cathedral is planned.

The topic of education was no less relevant. The acting governor emphasized that there are four universities in the Kursk region, and each has potential for development. He noted that the creation of branches of federal universities in the cities of the region is being discussed, as well as the expansion of opportunities for practical training and internships for students at regional enterprises. One of the students present at the meeting asked to pay attention to colleges in the region, in particular, the Rylsk Aviation Technical College.

Answering the question about how to attract students back to the region, given the level of wages in the region and in the capital, Alexander Khinshtein noted that it will be difficult to compete with Moscow, but at the same time it is easier to prove yourself in the region than in large cities. He also shared that plans include announcing a recruitment of young people to work in government bodies.

A separate area of discussion was measures to develop border territories. Alexander Khinshtein spoke about the preparation of a border restoration program, including socio-economic incentives for businesses and investors, which should become the basis for long-term growth and increased sustainability of the region.

Such events become a significant platform for open dialogue between the authorities and youth, as well as for generating ideas and finding practical solutions.
