Antonina Yudina, professor at the Department of Construction Technology at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, received patent No. 2852076, "Method for activating mixing water for a construction mixture."

The invention involves pre-treating water with an electric field from electrodes in a sealed container and then mixing it with dosed concrete mix components. The soluble electrode stack is made of aluminum plates, insulated from each other by a dielectric and connected to a power source. One electrode is connected to the positive pole (anode), the other to the negative pole (cathode). The electric field strength is 20–30 V/cm, and the water treatment lasts five to seven minutes.

The technical result is a reduction in energy consumption due to a shorter concrete curing time from casting to formwork removal, and an increase in formwork turnover due to a shorter isothermal heating time without excess cement consumption. Furthermore, the strength, frost resistance, and homogeneity of the concrete are increased.

When cement is mixed with water pre-treated with an electric field, a reaction occurs between calcium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide. This reaction results in the formation of calcium hydroaluminates and activation of the mixture. These aggregates (calcium hydroaluminates) serve as ready-made crystallization centers. These centers facilitate the rapid crystallization of new formations that precipitate from supersaturated solutions during the interaction of the binder with water. This process accelerates the hardening of binders.

The results were confirmed by laboratory tests. A 21% increase in strength was observed after seven days of curing. Cement consumption per cubic meter of concrete mix was reduced by 10, 15, and 20%, while water consumption remained constant, but the water-cement ratio increased.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Elza Shaimukhametova won this year's RUDN University Volunteer of the Year competition. At the awards ceremony, the second-year student at the Agrarian and Technological Institute (Veterinary Science major) shared that volunteering for her means dedicating yourself entirely to a cause, to people, and to being useful.

We spoke with Elsa to find out how she got involved in volunteering, what volunteer events and activities she remembers most, and what personal project she hopes to implement in the near future. Tell us about the very beginning of your volunteer journey.

What was that first spark that inspired you to start helping?

My volunteer journey began in 10th grade. From the very first event I participated in back in my hometown, I felt a spark that sparked my passion for this whole endeavor. I was truly captivated by the atmosphere of the volunteer community: the positive spirit with which everyone was willing to help, the respect for each other, and the support of newcomers. Human emotions also played a significant role. At first, the events I participated in were simply aimed at bringing joy to passersby who weren't involved in volunteering: we handed out cards and small gifts in honor of Defender of the Fatherland Day or International Women's Day. I loved that through such events, we could brighten someone's dull day, bring a smile to their face, and "charge" them with positive emotions for the rest of their day.

Tell us about your first event, what was it like?

My very first event was the "Candle of Remembrance" campaign. We asked passersby to light a candle and honor the memory of those who died in the Great Patriotic War. I was very nervous that day, especially when I was working up the courage to approach strangers.

Which event was the most touching or funny?

I consider the pre-New Year's trip to the social shelter to be the most touching. I had the opportunity to be the Snow Maiden. Father Frost and I, along with other New Year's characters, held contests, listened to children's poems, danced around the Christmas tree, and, of course, gave everyone New Year's gifts.

Can you recall the most memorable volunteer events you participated in this year? How do you think you excelled in them to earn the competition's Grand Prix?

The most significant events are the 65th anniversary of RUDN, the University Shifts project and the Civic Participation Forum.

How do you balance volunteer work with studying such a challenging program as Veterinary Medicine? Do you have a time management secret?

Combining volunteering and studying isn't always easy. So sometimes I have to prioritize and forego some events in favor of my university classes. It's convenient when events fall on weekends, which happens quite often. To make it easier to stay on top of everything and not forget anything, I use daily planners and calendars. Sometimes I have to leave class a little early to get to the event location, or, conversely, leave volunteering a little early to make it to an important class. If my volunteer work doesn't involve direct interaction with people and I have some free time, I try to use it to study or review my course material.

How does your volunteer experience complement and enrich your development as a future professional veterinarian? What skills are already helping you in your studies?

Volunteering helps me develop communication skills, which are crucial in veterinary medicine, especially when it comes to clearly and effectively explaining their pets' diagnoses to owners. I also learn to approach people with different personalities and temperaments. Furthermore, volunteering often brings me together with professionals in veterinary and related fields. This is a valuable and truly important opportunity to share experiences and knowledge. During these conversations, we can discuss current diseases, new equipment, and modern treatment methods—this helps me better understand the processes in veterinary medicine.

Last year, you participated in a volunteer mission in Uzbekistan with other RUDN University students, helping out at local veterinary clinics and dog shelters. How did this opportunity arise, and what did you learn from the experience?

I learned about the opportunity to participate in a volunteer mission in Uzbekistan from the Volunteer Commission of the Student Committee at my institute. This trip taught us a lot and provided truly valuable experience. We not only gained practical skills but also heard many interesting and instructive stories and advice. Memories of our joyful work shifts and evenings after clinics and shelters still linger in my mind: how students with extensive practical experience helped and offered advice to those less experienced. In fact, every dog at the shelter has its own story, almost always sad, but most importantly, filled with hope for a happy ending. I remember the weak puppy most of all. The little one fell asleep in my arms while I was nursing him on an IV. Honestly, looking at him, I could barely hold back my tears.

Do you have any ideas for your own volunteer projects?

I have an idea for a volunteer project where senior students will conduct voluntary additional classes for junior students. The goal is to help them understand complex topics in a calm, informal environment, without judgment or the fear of asking questions. Senior students will be able to share their experiences and explain the material in simple terms, while junior students will be able to fill in gaps in their knowledge and feel more confident. The project will promote mutual support, reduce academic stress, and strengthen connections between students of different years.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The year 2025 marked a significant period of active work by Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University to strengthen ties with leading Slavic universities. Large-scale events were held, allowing the universities to exchange experiences, develop common approaches, and lay the foundation for a long-term partnership.

First visit: introduction and arrangements

One of the first significant events was the arrival of delegations from the Belarusian-Russian University (BRU) and the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University (KRSU) to SPbPU.

Visit program:

Tours of the university campus and the SPbPU History Museum; a meeting with Maxim Pasholikov, Vice-Rector for Information, Youth Policy, and Security, and Ivan Khlamov, Head of the Youth Policy Department; a visit to the SPbPU Hydrotower, and an introduction to the work of the Youth Trajectory Center and the Psychological Support Center;

Negotiations with representatives of the SPbPU Student Trade Union were held in St. Petersburg. These negotiations resulted in the signing of an agreement between the SPbPU Trade Union and the BRU Trade Union.

In addition, the guests took part in the Family Victory Day festival, took a tour of the historic center of St. Petersburg, and visited the Great Country – Great Victory 1941–1945 exhibition.

Second visit: strategic planning

During the KRSU delegation's return visit, a two-part strategic session was held: "SPbPU as a Flagship University"—a discussion of the university's role in the education system; and "The KRSU Student Community Model"—an exchange of experiences in organizing student self-government.

Participants developed a common understanding of working with student associations, identified their key ambitions, and developed a plan for joint work for 2025–2026.

A key milestone in the development of youth policy at KRU was students' participation in the 33rd All-Russian "Russian Student Spring" festival of higher education institutions, held in Tatarstan. The festival was timed to coincide with the Year of Defender of the Fatherland in Russia. The event was held under the slogan "Spring of Victory."

Another significant event was the participation of KRSU faculty in the educational program "Conductors of Meaning. The DNA of Russia" hosted by the Saint Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation. The program is being implemented by the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education jointly with the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh) with the support of the "DNA of Russia" project. The program's primary goal is to build a sustainable professional community of educators and develop a unified value platform for youth policy and educational work at universities across the country.

Slavic Summit: Sharing Best Practices

The key event of the year was the Slavic Summit, held at SPbPU. It was attended by the heads of youth policy departments from all partner universities: the Belarusian-Russian University, the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University, the Russian-Tajik Slavic University, and the Russian-Armenian University.

A workshop of practices, supervised by Vladimir Migunov, administrator of the SPbPU Center for Youth Trajectories, featured universities presenting their best projects in the areas of "Media," "Adaptation," "Creativity," and "Sports." Ivan Khlamov presented a report on the structure of SPbPU youth policy; and Maxim Susorov, Chairman of the SPbPU Students' Union, presented a presentation on the principles of student self-government at the Polytechnic University.

Participants not only shared their experiences but also selected the most promising practices for further implementation and identified opportunities for future partnerships. They identified well-developed sports programs at all universities, evaluated promising projects, and discussed the development of student government bodies. Representatives of the Slavic universities agreed on joint extracurricular projects.

Furthermore, he or she must be aware of the federal agenda. Dmitry Vladimirovich Pyshny has experience as the director of an academic institute and as Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education. He oversaw the training of highly qualified personnel and has a proven track record in the federal scientific and technical program for the development of genetic technologies. Dmitry Vladimirovich has a unique understanding of both the university and research institutes," commented Valery Falkov.

Governor Andrei Travnikov noted that the supervisory board unanimously supported the candidacy of Dmitry Vladimirovich Pyshny:

"His candidacy was considered a priority during the consultation phase, and I want to thank Valery Nikolaevich Falkov for proposing Dmitry Pyshny's election. In essence, the Ministry has approved the return of one of the federal-level deputy heads to Novosibirsk. This is important for us. Firstly, Dmitry Vladimirovich himself, given his competencies, is a very worthy candidate, and secondly, this is confirmation of the importance of Novosibirsk State University at the federal level. A person with such experience has the opportunity to lead our university today and be of service not only to the Novosibirsk Region but to our entire country."

Mikhail Petrovich Fedoruk, who successfully led the university for over 10 years, is retiring upon reaching the age limit. The head of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science thanked him for his work and expressed hope that he will continue to help the university develop.

Dmitry Nikolaevich Pyshny graduated from the Faculty of Natural Sciences at Novosibirsk State University in 1992 and worked at the Institute of Chemical Biology and Fundamental Medicine of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, where he rose from junior researcher to director. He defended his PhD dissertation in 1998 and his doctoral dissertation in 2011. In November 2022, he was appointed Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation.

"As an NSU graduate, I feel a tremendous responsibility to take the helm of such a significant university for the country. I hope that the experience the federal government has invested in me will accelerate the university's development. We will need to strengthen the integration between academic institutions and NSU, as well as strive to retain as many young people as possible in science, and develop both higher education and academic research. I hope we will succeed," said Dmitry Pyshny.

Novosibirsk State University is among the top five universities in the country, according to the Interfax group. It has over 8,700 students, including 1,700 international students from 60 countries. Eighty percent of the university's more than 2,800 faculty members are employees of research institutes of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. NSU participates in all major federal development programs, including "Priority 2030" and "Advanced Engineering Schools."

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On December 21, the State University of Management (SUM) hockey team, along with the Stankin team, held a special pre-New Year's training session for visually impaired children from the Fortuna adaptive hockey team as part of the Moscow Student Hockey League's "Good Hockey" project.

Fun relay races were organized for the young hockey players, and a skating Santa Claus created a festive atmosphere.

Each participant received commemorative gifts from the State University of Management, but the main gift was the communication, attention, and support of their senior comrades.

For the GUU team players, this meeting has already become a good tradition—they came to see the guys for the third time.

Team defenseman Yegor Pridanov shared his impressions: "Pre-New Year's training with the adaptive hockey team has become a real tradition for me—this is my third time coming here. The children are the most touching—their emotions are unfaithful. At times like these, you simply catch yourself thinking that this is precisely why it's worth coming again and again—to give them joy, attention, and support. I believe events like these should be held as often as possible, because they help children believe in themselves and feel part of a larger hockey family."

Our university is truly delighted to be part of this kind and meaningful event. Projects like "Kind Hockey" demonstrate the true power of sport—a power that unites, inspires, and gives hope. We thank the Fortuna hockey team for their annual trust and the opportunity to share their warmth.

The "Good Hockey" project clearly demonstrates that sport goes far beyond competition. It is a tool for integration, development, and boundless joy, capable of creating a true New Year's miracle.
