Eight educational institutions with a total area of almost 25 thousand square meters are being built at the expense of investors in the territory of the Eastern Administrative District of the capital. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction Vladimir Efimov.

"Currently, investors are building eight educational facilities in the Eastern Administrative District in the Izmailovo, Metrogorodok, Golyanovo, Perovo and Severnoye Izmailovo districts. The total area of the facilities will exceed 24.8 thousand square meters. In total, they are designed for almost 1,700 places: 250 school and 1,425 preschool. The educational facilities are being built by investors. In the future, they will complement the social infrastructure of the east of the capital, seven of them will become part of the Moscow education system," Vladimir Efimov noted.

The emergence of new educational facilities is an important component of the development of a harmonious urban environment. In each of them, spaces are created for an effective educational process. Thanks to this, parents can choose a school or kindergarten for their children near their home and not spend a lot of time on the road.

"All eight facilities are being built using extra-budgetary funds. Thus, the developer FSK is building an educational complex in Golyanovo with an area of almost 8.4 thousand square meters. It will include a school for 250 children and a kindergarten for 125 preschoolers. Another building is being built by the PIK group of companies in the Metrogorodok area. There, on the territory of a new residential quarter, a kindergarten with a swimming pool will appear, designed for 250 children," said the Minister of the Moscow Government, head of the Department of Urban Development Policy of the capital

Vladislav Ovchinsky.

All stages of construction of social facilities are controlled by the capital State Construction Supervision Committee (Moscow State Construction Supervision Authority). According to the head of the department Anton Slobodchikova, since the beginning of the work, inspectors have carried out 27 control and supervision activities at construction sites. Specialists from the subordinate Expertise Center were involved in the on-site inspections to conduct studies of the materials and building structures used for compliance with the approved design solutions.

The area around the buildings is being landscaped, sports and playgrounds are being equipped, trees, bushes and flowers are being planted, and convenient pedestrian paths are being made.

Earlier, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin announced opening after the reconstruction of school No. 1770.

first day of freshmen at RUDN

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peoples'Friendship University of Russia –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

In hand is a university map, the goal is to visit all the places marked on it, complete tasks and get rewards. The first day at RUDN for first-year students was held in the style of a quest or a computer game-walker in reality. 21 locations and three hours of time – on your marks, get set, let's go!

A healthy mind resides in a healthy body!

The students had to go around more than one building, and for this they needed to warm up well and get a boost of energy after the first September classes. The newcomers were helped with this at the location of the Druzhba physical education and health complex. The girls were given mats and given the task of doing abdominal exercises for 30 seconds, the exercise could be replaced with squats. The guys demonstrated the strength of their arms by doing push-ups.

"Everyone is so athletic! Come on, sign up for the sections!" the FOK trainers said with a smile.

But not only the athletic first-year students of RUDN, but also masters of humor. This was confirmed at the Interclub at the KVN location. The newcomers discussed the topic: "There are many ways to lose money, but how to increase income?"

The girls jokingly suggested finding a guy for this. But the answer to the question of what to take with you to another planet would please the creators of the MAX messenger. According to one of the first-year students, it must definitely catch and provide communication with Earth there.

After joking around, the students went off to sing karaoke songs and dance Russian folk dances.

The smartest new kid

However, music was also played at the location where one could get acquainted with communities from Lebanon, Vietnam, Brazil, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Columbia and others. Foreign students from RUDN University led first-year students in dancing to the sounds of their national melodies. Representatives from Lebanon taught the dabka dance to the sounds of the drum.

"It's great, it's so much fun here! They even let us try on national costumes! We also liked the KVN location, we even thought about trying ourselves in humor. We entered RUDN in the "Journalism" program. I did it because I dream of working in television, and my friend followed in the footsteps of her mother, a photojournalist. We chose RUDN because of the good reviews, especially about the internship, interesting education. In addition, it is a point of attraction for different cultures, an unusual university!" – Elizaveta Smirnova and Alisa Makarova, bachelors of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of RUDN.

Literally next to this atmosphere of an oriental holiday, students answered questions on a test about digital literacy. The answer options made everyone smile. For example, to the question: "Why do you need Excel?" you could answer that it helps to count the stars in the sky or keep track of train schedules. But, of course, everyone chose the right option – to calculate the project budget. But the guys really wanted to call Pavel Durov the creator of the Internet, because there is a grain of truth in the joke if we are talking about popular social networks in Russia. However, the father of the World Wide Web was still the British scientist Tim Burners-Lee.

At the admissions office location, students were also tested for erudition, but here many questions concerned facts about the university. For example, how many countries do students come from, do they give a car for excellent studies, and what are the corporate colors of RUDN. Future historian Karina Zhumagalieva had no trouble completing these tasks.

"I really like the atmosphere of the university, it's so beautiful and green here! And today is such a wonderful holiday, I've already managed to sing my fill and have fun. I entered the History program because I've always loved this subject and I'm especially interested in the history of the Soviet Union. Therefore, I hope to delve deeper into the study of this period," Karina Zhumagalieva, Bachelor of Arts and Social Sciences at RUDN University.

Friends from 170 countries

Three hours of the RUDN University quest flew by unnoticed, and now the students began to gather at the stage on the square in front of the main building in anticipation of a welcoming speech from the RUDN University rector. The first-year students held posters in their hands with support for their faculties and institutes. Here and there, guys and girls began to chant: "Philology department-philology department!", "IMEB-IMEB!"

And here is the culmination – the flags of Russia and RUDN were brought out, and Oleg Aleksandrovich Yastrebov appeared in front of the first-year students.

"I congratulate you, you really have a very important day today. Knowledge Day at your new alma mater, this is your second home, which, believe me, will stay with you for life. I congratulate you on entering one of the best universities not only in Russia, but also in the world, whose graduates are in all countries without exception. You opened these doors with perseverance, talent, knowledge. We have a university of opportunities – use them! You will have amazing teachers. Do sports, volunteer. Meet – in your address book there will be friends from 170 countries of the world. I wish you success, good luck, guys!" – Oleg Yastrebov, Rector of RUDN.

After Oleg Aleksandrovich's warm words, our university's anthem began to sound, which was immediately picked up and sung by new RUDN students, who turned on the flashlights on their phones. On this touching note, the first day of the first-year students' journey came to an end. But ahead of them are many educational and career roads, achievements and victories.

"I entered RUDN University for "Foreign Regional Studies" because I dream of becoming a diplomat and a specialist in relations with China in the future, as this is a promising direction, which is confirmed by the foreign policy of our country. Relations with this state will play a big role. The university attracted me because it has high positions in the rankings, and in general it impresses with the level of education and the international scale of its activities," Roman Petrov, a bachelor of the RUDN University Institute of Foreign Languages.

"And I will study in the direction of "Innovation Management in Industrial Sectors". This is a promising direction that combines both the humanities and the exact sciences. I think it will be interesting for me to study. I liked RUDN because there are many activities here, and it is also international, there is an opportunity to make friends with guys from different parts of the world," – Victoria Merinova, Bachelor of Engineering Academy of RUDN.

Guests of the Moscow 2030 Forum in Luzhniki will learn how drinking water is prepared

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The capital pays great attention to the water industry – from preparing drinking water to maintaining the biobalance in water bodies. Specialists take care not only of the Moscow River, but also of all small rivers and ponds. They closely monitor the quality of water in drinking sources and test water at all stages of its path to the taps of city apartments.

Find out how the bioplateau zone is structured

Forum visitors "Moscow 2030. Territory of the Future"in the Luzhniki Olympic Complex, visitors can learn more about modern methods of cleaning water bodies, as well as what bioplateau zones are and how they are arranged. On the site of the city economy complex in the Podkova zone, not far from the master class pavilion, there is a life-size model of the capital's pond, where rehabilitation work was carried out. Guests will see what plants are planted in the bioplateau zone and how the gabion reinforcement of the coastal strip is arranged.

An important element of the rehabilitation of the capital's water bodies is the creation of a bioplateau. For this purpose, special zones are allocated in the pond, where aquatic plants are planted. In this way, a unique ecosystem is created that promotes self-purification of water. The bioplateau serves as a shelter for fish and a nesting place for waterfowl.

The most popular plants of the bioplato of Moscow ponds are different types of irises, umbrella russula, narrow-leaved cattail, reed, bulrush and water lilies. All of them not only decorate the surface of the reservoirs, but also prevent the reproduction of algae that cause pond bloom, contribute to the improvement of the ecological balance, as well as self-purification of water from harmful impurities.

Purify the water and assemble the image of the water tower

Specialists from the State Unitary Enterprise Mosvodostok are holding a master class where participants can try themselves in the role of employees of the city economy complex, operating model boats in a special pool.

The City Economy Festival also offers other events that introduce the water industry. In the master class pavilion, visitors assemble limited edition puzzles dedicated to the Moscow water supply system. Last year, it turned 220 years old. The first gravity water supply system opened in 1804, and it laid the foundation for the modern water supply system for about 15 million residents of the Moscow region. Guests are invited to assemble an image of the Krestovsky water towers. This is a key element of the city's 19th-century water supply system that has not survived.

Create your own pipeline

Young forum participants can create their own engineering structure "Pipeline" using special tubes and connecting elements. In doing so, they will learn what a long way water travels from sources through water treatment stations to the taps of Moscow apartments.

Today, there are about 13 thousand kilometers of water supply networks in the capital. Water quality is monitored along its entire path from the source to the consumer. More than 500 automatic analyzers help monitor this — they are installed at water treatment stations and in the distribution network. And also — in-house laboratories, which are located at all four water treatment stations. Moscow water is analyzed based on the maximum number of physical, chemical and biological indicators — 200 in total.

In addition, the site has tanks from Mosvodokanal JSC with drinking water, which anyone can try.

Biometric payment is now available at all turnstiles on the Zamoskvoretskaya and Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya metro lines

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

You can now pay for travel using biometrics at all turnstiles on the Zamoskvoretskaya and Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya metro lines. The service is available at 792 payment devices for passage. Previously, the possibility of paying by biometrics was only available at two or three turnstiles at each station.

"Sergey Sobyanin has instructed to connect all metro turnstiles to the biometric payment system by the end of 2025. The service is already working on all payment equipment for passage on 13 lines. And the total number of metro turnstiles where payment by facial recognition is available has exceeded three thousand. In 2026, we will connect the turnstiles of all Moscow Central Diameters stations to the system so that paying for travel is just as convenient and safe," said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry

Maxim Liksutov.

You can connect the biometric payment function after registering in the application "Moscow Metro". The user needs to log into their personal account, take a photo of their face and link a bank card to pay for travel. The neural network converts the image into a unique biometric key consisting of a set of encrypted symbols. The original photo cannot be restored.

To enter the station, you need to go to the turnstile marked with a black sticker and look into the camera located on it. The device will detect your face in the frame and generate a biometric key. Then the neural network will compare it with the key from the database in one second. If they match, the doors will open. The fare of 63 rubles will be debited from the passenger's account automatically.

Biometric payment was launched at all metro stations in 2021. Moscow is the leader in the number of types of transport where this payment instrument is available. You can pay for travel using biometrics in the metro, on the Moscow Central Circle, on Aeroexpress trains, on regular river routes and on some stations of the Moscow Central Diameters. Today, this payment method is used about 170 thousand times every weekday, and more than 500 thousand people are registered in the system.

Results of the 2025 Admissions Campaign

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The admission campaign is a small life, full of expectations, hopes and important decisions. For thousands of applicants, the summer of 2025 was marked by the choice of a future profession, and for the Polytechnic University – in an effort to make this process as comfortable and understandable as possible. And now all the decisions have been made, the enrollment orders have been signed. A new, already student life is ahead.

The vast majority of documents (99%) were submitted by applicants remotely through the State Services portal, which allowed students from all corners of Russia to become part of the large Polytechnic family without any hassle. Applicants to master's and postgraduate programs could also submit an application through the Unified Portal.

But the admissions committee was also happy to meet in person. A modern multifunctional space was organized in the reading room of the main academic building, where it was possible to submit documents with the help of employees, conclude an agreement and submit consent for enrollment. Nearby, there were institute stands, where teachers, employees and students spoke in detail about programs, internships and employment prospects. An innovation this year were tours of laboratories, allowing applicants and their parents to get acquainted with the university infrastructure.

In 2025, Polytechnic broke its own record, receiving almost 149,000 applications for budget and contract places. The average USE score of those admitted to the budget increased to 84.3 (versus 83.8 in 2024), and the passing score for all areas exceeded 200.

The growth of interest in classical engineering specialties is particularly noticeable, which confirms the demand for training personnel for the real sector of the economy.

Leaders in Passing Score Growth

Technosphere safety (16 points) Metallurgy (13 points) Technical physics (12 points) Biotechnology (9 points)

At the same time, the passing score for many technical specialties is equal to popular IT areas: “Construction of unique buildings and structures” (266 points), “Mechatronics and robotics” (258 points), “Nuclear energy and thermal physics” (272 points).

Traditionally, the IT fields lead in the number of applications submitted: "Software Engineering" (4537), "Information Systems and Technologies" (3698), "Computer Science and Computer Engineering" (3506). Among the engineering specialties, the greatest interest was generated by: "Construction" (3760), "Electric Power Engineering and Electrical Engineering" (2597), "Construction of Unique Buildings and Structures" (2497).

The success of the admissions campaign is laid long before the summer. Motivated applicants with high scores come to the Polytechnic University largely due to the large-scale career guidance work that is carried out throughout the year.

The Polytechnic University actively supports the Olympiad movement, acting as an organizer and co-organizer of competitions for schoolchildren in a wide range of areas. Successful participation in Olympiads (including the All-Russian School Olympiad) from the list of the Russian Council of Olympiads gives applicants the right to enter without passing entrance examinations. In 2025, a new support system was introduced: applicants admitted without entrance examinations (BVI) and with high Unified State Exam scores will receive a grant of up to 120,000 rubles with the possibility of additional payments for excellent studies. This year, the Polytechnic University accepted 185 Olympiad participants – winners and prize winners of competitions, while the number of applicants with high Unified State Exam scores exceeded 400 people.

The Directorate of Pre-University Education and Talent Attraction carries out large-scale work: it organizes educational programs and specialized shifts in leading all-Russian children's centers and regional centers for gifted children. Schoolchildren from all over the country immerse themselves in the world of modern technologies, studying relevant areas – mechanical engineering, unmanned transport, IT and biotechnology – and trying themselves in the role of researchers.

With the beginning of the holidays, summer educational intensives traditionally open – the Summer School and the Engineering League, dedicated to key areas for the Polytechnic: energy, aircraft and rocket engineering, IT, data analysis and others.

An important part of career guidance work is campus tours: thousands of schoolchildren visit academic buildings and laboratories every year to get to know the life of the Polytechnic from the inside. University representatives also actively participate in exhibitions of educational institutions across the country – from the Far East to the south of Russia. These efforts bring results: 70% of those enrolled from various regions choose the Polytechnic every year.

The key innovation of this admissions campaign was the "Petrovskaya Wave" system. It guaranteed admission to all applicants who scored the required passing score, making the process more transparent and reducing anxiety for many applicants.

"2025 has become a time of significant changes for the Polytechnic Admissions Committee," noted Varvara Sotova, Director of the Center for Formation of the Contingent of Students. "We have managed to implement a number of carefully prepared innovations: the launch of the "Petrovskaya Wave," an increase in grants for Olympiad winners, and the holding of the admissions campaign in a single space – the reading room. We are glad that everything was done at a high level."

A huge thank you to the large team that worked all summer long — you are real professionals! And to the new large team of more than 10,000 first-year polytechnic students — we wish you interesting studies, a rich and vibrant student life! — shared the responsible secretary of the admissions committee, Vitaly Drobchik.

The admission campaign for the Master's degree also showed impressive results. 23,827 applications were submitted for 2,340 budget places, and 6,789 for fee-paying places.

The most popular IT Master's programs

Technology of development and support of high-quality software product — 680 applications Fundamentals of analysis and development of applications with large volumes of distributed data — 624 applications Systems analysis and optimization of information systems and technologies — 544 applications Leaders of the engineering block Organization and management of investment and construction projects — 638 applications Digital construction of buildings and structures — 569 applications Urban construction and infrastructure — 388 applications

A unique feature of the Polytechnic's Master's program is its corporate programs, launched jointly with leading industrial partners. They provide students with real projects, mentors and guaranteed employment.

This year, the admissions committee placed special emphasis on the portfolio competition, following which 551 people received a place at the university. Also enrolled were 14 winners of the "I am a professional" Olympiad and 2 winners of the All-Russian engineering competition.

"This year's admission to the Polytechnic University's Master's program has confirmed the success of the individual approach and the practice of assessing the achievements of applicants," commented Vice-Rector for Educational Activities Lyudmila Pankova. "We see a steady increase in the number of participants and applicants using this mechanism year after year – the practice is fully justified. We congratulate the new Master's students and wish them to realize their most ambitious scientific and professional goals."

The admissions campaign is over, and the main heroes of Polytechnic University 2025 are ready to make new discoveries!

September 3 – Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

September 3 is the Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism in Russia. Today we remember the victims of terrorist attacks and pay tribute to law enforcement officers who died in the fight against terrorists.

Solidarity Day is directly connected with the tragic events in Beslan on September 1-3, 2004. Then, during a ceremonial assembly at School No. 1, a group of terrorists took more than 1,100 children, their parents and teachers hostage. The school was mined, and the hostages were kept in the gym in the harshest conditions. The entire country watched with horror the dramatic events unfolding in the small Beslan school.

On the third day, a series of explosions occurred in the building and an assault began. Most of the hostages were freed. 333 people died, including 186 children.

This pain will never go away from my heart.

On September 3, 2005, the Tree of Sorrow monument was unveiled at the City of Angels Memorial Cemetery, where the victims of the terrorist attack are buried. The school gymnasium remained a makeshift memorial for a long time, where relatives and friends of the victims and caring people would come. A wooden Orthodox cross was installed in the middle of the hall, and the walls were covered with photographs of the victims. Common grief unites, and among the inscriptions on the walls one can see the words “Nord-Ost is with you”. Flowers and children’s toys lay near the cross and along the walls of the hall, and there were open bottles of water, symbolizing the suffering of the hostages from thirst. “We beg you, give us water,” reads the inscription on the memorial drinking fountain installed in the City of Angels.

Following these terrible events, security measures were strengthened in all schools across the country: barriers were built, panic buttons were installed, and contracts with security companies were concluded. Security is also monitored in higher education institutions. Anti-terrorist training is regularly held at the Polytechnic University, and video surveillance is installed. We appeal to all employees and students – be vigilant, report all suspicious people and objects to the University Security Center by phone: 7 (921) 940-66-75, 8 (812) 534-61-18.

School of the Future

In the Nagatinsky Zaton district, there are nine buildings of school No. 1770: four for schoolchildren and five for preschoolers. The reconstructed building is located at 56 Nagatinskaya Embankment. More than 800 children from first to 11th grade study here.

The typical school building consists of two multi-level buildings connected by a two-story covered passage. The light façade with turquoise accents looks modern and expressive. The specialists also repaired the roof, all utility lines, replaced windows and doors, installed a ramp and landscaped the school yard. Now it is decorated with pergolas, playgrounds and sports grounds, neatly trimmed lawns and wooden benches.

"At the end of May last year, this building was closed for reconstruction, and students were temporarily transferred to other buildings. Thanks to the redevelopment, additional space appeared, and this year we accepted 180 more students than before. The interior design was done according to the uniform standards of the My School program, the educational space became modern and technological," says the director of school No. 1770, Honored Teacher of Russia Mikhail Goremykin.

Recreation islands and laboratory research complexes

The tour starts from the right four-story building. The first floor is reserved for the elementary school, the second floor is for fourth- and fifth-graders, and the upper floors are for seniors. The teachers lead us along the corridors with suspended ceilings with loft-style acoustic panels and LED lamps. Between the classrooms there are cozy recreation areas with round poufs, armchairs with soundproof soft panels, and sofa houses. To help children spend their leisure time usefully, there are marker boards on the walls. The usual coolers have been replaced with stylish drinking fountains, and drawers with combination locks have been installed for the students' personal belongings.

The dining room on the first floor has changed beyond recognition, it is now a dining hall: arched openings have added light and space. The guys can come here not only for hot lunches, but also for pastries and the legendary pizza, which many graduates remember.

The universal classrooms, located on both sides of the corridor, are equipped with desks and ergonomic chairs that correct posture. Traditional blackboards have been replaced with interactive panels with LED lamps. Now it is possible to conduct foreign language, computer science and natural science lessons in classrooms with transformable partitions. They allow two groups to study simultaneously without interfering with each other.

"The school also has specialized classrooms equipped depending on the profile. And modern laboratory and research complexes equipped with digital and stereoscopic microscopes, 3D printers and all the necessary equipment will allow students to work on their own projects and conduct scientific experiments," says Ekaterina Kuleshova, curator of engineering classes at School No. 1770.

Universal gyms, machines and constructors

The reconstruction under the city program "My School" takes into account all the details of the modern educational process. The stairs were equipped with multi-level chrome railings, convenient navigation was placed on each floor, and the windowsills in the corridors became wide and functional. Now you can prepare for lessons, read a book or work with a tablet on them.

But the main value of the renovated school is in the equipment of classrooms and the additional educational opportunities that have appeared thanks to this. Thus, the technology room on the first floor has been completely transformed. Now it resembles an engineering laboratory – with voluminous black suitcases on tables with a metal coating and stylish safe-tables.

"From the sets in these suitcases, you can assemble eight types of machines: a lathe, a drilling machine, a grinder, a woodworking machine, a milling machine, and others. And in the boxes by the left wall of the room are metal construction sets for fourth-graders. With their help, children will learn to use basic tools: a screwdriver, pliers, and wrenches," says Nikolai Slepnev, a technology teacher at School No. 1770.

We move to the neighboring three-story building. In addition to classrooms, on the second floor there are gymnastics and sports halls with safe soft walls, non-slip surfaces, basketball hoops and all kinds of equipment – from gymnastics to step platforms.

"The school has been renovated so well, you can't even recognize it! My sister, my eldest son, and I all studied here, and now my daughter Varvara has started third grade. I'm glad they did everything for the children after the reconstruction," says Tatyana Frolova, the mother of a nine-year-old student at School No. 1770.

Atrium and modern media library

The usual assembly hall has been transformed into a multifunctional atrium. Instead of spectator chairs, wide wooden benches of the "amphitheater" type have been installed here, and the stage has been made at the same level with the floor, marking its boundaries with a semicircular curtain. In such a modern space, it is convenient not only to give concerts and show performances, but also to hold seminars, lectures, organize film screenings and other events.

The main pride of the renovated school was the media block, which occupied the entire third floor of the building. It housed two classrooms equipped with modern computers, video cameras, projectors, microphones and other equipment, as well as a spacious media library. For the convenience of students, noise-proof booths resembling telephone booths were installed in it. Each of them has a laptop with Internet access.

According to Irina Marenkova, a teacher in the media class at School No. 1770, future journalists, directors, and presenters can make podcasts, voice over and edit videos, write longreads and posts for social networks here without interference or distracting noise.

"My two sons have entered the first and fifth grades. The impressions of the school are amazing: I myself would like to sit at these desks and study on such equipment. The level of teachers here is appropriate. Children will go to such a school with joy," says Muscovite Maria Chesnokova.
