The state corporation VEB.RF will provide preferential credit funds (with a Far Eastern subsidy) in the amount of 16 billion rubles for the construction of the world's first interstate cable car, which will connect Russia and China across the Amur River. In addition, three more projects in the Amur Region and Primorye will be financed. The implementation of these projects will ensure the creation of more than 1 thousand jobs. The corresponding decision was made following a meeting of the Presidium of the Government Commission on the Socio-Economic Development of the Far East, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister – Plenipotentiary Representative of the President in the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev.

"Attracting investment to the regions creates conditions for growth. We help all investors who are ready to work and develop the Far East, invest in the territory of Russia. Investors in the Far East receive a wide range of benefits provided by the conditions of preferential regimes, reimbursement of infrastructure costs. A number of projects significant for the Far East are already receiving preferential lending from the state corporation VEB.RF. We will continue to support investment projects aimed at developing the economy of the Far Eastern regions and improving the quality of life of Far Easterners," said Yuri Trutnev.

"VEB.RF will provide preferential financing in the amount of more than 16 billion rubles for the construction of the world's first interstate cable car, which will connect Russia and China via the Amur. Support will be provided, among other things, for the construction of a production and logistics complex in Belogorsk for the deep processing of soybeans and rapeseed, the creation of a fishing port on the Nazimov Peninsula in Vladivostok, and the construction of the Artem multimodal transport and logistics center in Primorsky Krai. The implementation of these projects will ensure the creation of more than 1,000 jobs," said Artem Dovlatov, Deputy Chairman of VEB.RF.

The Blagoveshchensk-Heihe cable car construction project is the creation of the world's first cable car that will connect not only neighboring cities, but also countries. The cross-border cable car is an innovative and high-tech infrastructure solution that facilitates communication between two neighboring countries. The project involves the construction of cable car stations and passenger terminals on opposite banks of the Amur River on the Russian and Chinese sides.

The project to create a cross-border cable car is being implemented within the framework of the intergovernmental agreement between Russia and China dated September 3, 2015. According to the design documentation, the journey along the future cable car from Blagoveshchensk to Heihe should take about three minutes, and the capacity of the cable car terminal will be 6,850 passengers per day, or up to 2.5 million passengers per year.

The project to build a production and logistics complex in the city of Belogorsk in the Amur Region will also receive preferential financing from the 16 billion rubles allocated by VEB.RF. Deep processing of soybeans and rapeseed will be organized at one of the largest processing plants in Russia. The new enterprise should be launched next year.

Two projects in Primorye will also receive support. The first is for the development of a fishing port on the Nazimov Peninsula (stage II) in Vladivostok. The project envisages the construction of a modern cold warehouse with a capacity of 25 thousand tons of one-time storage of fish products, a crab holding pool, and a site for storing refrigerated containers.

The second is the construction of the multimodal transport and logistics center "Artem". The creation of a high-tech logistics complex includes the construction of modern railway, terminal, warehouse and customs infrastructure: a container site, 70 km long intra-terminal railway tracks with a connection to the Artem-Primorsky-1 and Artem-Primorsky-2 stations of the Far Eastern Railway.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

60 young teachers — representatives of all 12 SPbPU institutes — have become graduates of the retraining program "Pedagogical Start". The program is a mandatory part of the career trajectory "Intern", intended for master's students and final-year specialists, as well as postgraduate students planning their professional career as a teacher or researcher.

The program participants successfully defended their final theses and received diplomas of professional retraining. Many of them will continue their teaching activities in the new academic year as assistants.

"The career trajectory "Intern" was launched for the first time at the Polytechnic University this academic year as part of the implementation of the policy in the field of forming career trajectories for the professional development of teaching staff from among the faculty," said Lyudmila Pankova, Vice-Rector for Educational Activities at SPbPU. "Graduates of the "Pedagogical Start" program are our successor, who will help current teachers transform the university's educational programs to achieve technological leadership in our country."

The professional retraining program "Pedagogical Start" included a large block of theoretical training, allowing to master modern educational technologies, regulatory foundations of pedagogical activity, methods of working in the digital environment of SPbPU, as well as pedagogical internship under the guidance of mentors – leading teachers of higher schools and departments of the university.

The pedagogical internship became the core of the entire retraining program, allowing the interns, on the one hand, to adopt the experience of the best teachers in the relevant professional field, and on the other hand, to apply all the theoretical knowledge they had acquired in practice, trying themselves out as teachers, noted Elena Zima, Director of the SPbPU Education Quality Center and Head of the Pedagogical Start program.

During the defense of their final theses, the interns presented their experience of implementing the chosen teaching method and the developed fragment of the online course in the electronic information and educational environment of the Polytechnic. It is especially valuable and worthy of respect that the newly-minted teachers mastered the program in parallel with the preparation of diplomas in the main educational programs.

Summer school at the Polytechnic: 88 participants from different parts of Russia

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Polytechnic University held its eighth annual Summer School, an educational intensive for high school students that brought together talented children from all over the country. This year, 88 high school students from St. Petersburg and other regions of Russia who passed a competitive selection took part.

The Summer School program included four areas that combined theory, practice, and excursions to leading enterprises. The students visited UEC-Klimov, the Petersburg Tractor Plant, the Institute of Linguistic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, NIIEFA, the IT Contact company, and the Volkhov Hydroelectric Power Station. In the final, they defended solutions to cases provided by the organizers.

On the Wings of Polytech track, the participants worked on optimizing the wing design. They created a model in KOMPAS-3D, conducted virtual tests in ANSYS, calculated the load and lift at different angles of attack. The final stage was 3D printing of the wing and its testing on a special stand. The guys presented the results in the form of an engineering report with the defense of the project. The teachers of the program were engineers of the Higher School of Power Engineering and the Scientific and Educational Center "Aircraft Engines and Power Plants" PISh CI Nikita Izbyakov, Andrey Shirokih and Anastasia Bodunova.

Participants in the track "Energovaybe: how to tame the energy current and not burn out" successfully designed an efficient power supply system for a private home. They analyzed the needs of future residents and developed an optimal layout for electrical appliances, including sockets, switches, and lighting fixtures. To ensure reliable power supply, students calculated the parameters of the key elements of the system and prepared a detailed power distribution plan. The project took into account modern requirements for safety, energy efficiency, and ease of use.

The students studied electric power engineering with maximum focus on practical applicability. Testing the operation of electrical appliances, conducting experiments on connecting light bulbs, the first modeling in a popular engineering application, developing their own power supply scheme – the participants of the Summer School had no time to get bored, – noted Maria Lyulina, senior lecturer of the Higher School of Electric Power Systems.

In the track "Linguistics in the Digital Age: from Data Analysis to Artificial Intelligence", schoolchildren analyzed excerpts from English textbooks for grades 7–11 to assess their complexity. Using special metrics and automatic text processing tools, they found out how the "from simple to complex" principle is observed in the school curriculum. The results will help textbook authors adjust the selection of materials, and teachers will be able to adapt complex texts for better understanding. The track was organized by teachers and staff of the Higher School of Linguistics and Pedagogy Alexander Dmitriev, Marina Kogan and Elena Krupnova.

In the "How it works: mechanical engineering" program, schoolchildren successfully designed and calculated a single-stage gearbox, a key mechanism for industrial equipment. They performed energy-kinematic calculations, created a 3D model, and analyzed various production technologies, including traditional processing and 3D printing. The intensive course allowed future engineers to master modern methods of designing mechanical systems and understand the principles of choosing optimal production solutions.

The summer school is a unique opportunity for schoolchildren to immerse themselves in student life and get acquainted with their future profession. Working in groups, together with interested and motivated children, allows them to delve deeper into various technologies of modern professions, – noted the director of the Center for Work with Applicants Artem Egupov.

The best teams received additional points, which will be taken into account when entering SPbPU, as well as gifts.

The most valuable thing for me was the acquired experience of teamwork and practical skills of working in KOMPAS-3D. The teachers presented the material in an accessible and exciting way, so it was really interesting. Thanks to the coordinated work, we were able to overcome all the difficulties and achieved an excellent result in the defense of the projects, – shared Leonid Svetlyakov.

White Nights Rally in Karelia: Team Extreme Climbs to Podium

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The sports and technical creativity club "Extreme" took part in the final of the Karelia Rally Cup – the legendary race "White Nights", which took place in the Lakhdenpokhsky district of the Republic of Karelia. In the team standings, the polytechnicians were awarded bronze medals.

The competition was held on roads that had never been used as race tracks before. The new tracks became a real test of strength for the pilots and equipment. The mechanics also had to face various difficulties: on narrow rocky special stages, which were washed away by rain on the second day, not all athletes managed to find a balance between speed and caution.

Three Extreme crews reached the finish line. In the 2000N category, bronze medals were won by Andrey Zhukovsky and Konstantin Mukhamendrikov in a Ford Fiesta, despite the fact that the crew overcame the last special stages with serious problems.

Getting there somehow is better than dropping out of the race, the crew members sum up briefly.

IMMiT 2022 graduate Danil Kolpin and Valery Smirnov earned credit points in the 1600N category on a VAZ-2108. The Polytechnicians assembled the car on the basis of the KSTT from a bare body.

On the first day, the brakes created problems, on the second day, the electrics and gearbox. On such roads, the power steering was sorely lacking. The development vector is clear, we will improve the car and next time we will drive much more effectively, – shared Danil Kolpin.

Pavel Alekseev and IE student Mikhail Krasovitsky were one step away from winning medals in a Renault Logan in the Standard category, which is intended for cars without serious sports modifications.

On the very first special stage, a couple of turns from the finish, we hit the fuel tank and tore off the fuel pump. We got to the service station on a rope and spent the rest of the first day searching for and fixing the problem. We started the second day in eighth place with a big time penalty, we didn’t finish any special stage lower than third place, but, alas, we couldn’t make up the rest of the penalty minutes. In the end, we were fourth. For a fully factory “Logan”, this is an excellent result, but we strive for the best, – said Mikhail Krasovitsky.

It was a tough race for the Polytechnicians. In such conditions, it is important not to give up, to continue the fight to reach the finish. It is impossible to win if you do not reach the end. This is probably our main principle of the team, – commented the team leader, mechanic of the Department of Transport and Mechanization of SPbPU Sergey Korovay.

Day of Military Glory: Battle of Poltava

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On July 10, our country celebrates the Day of the Russian army’s victory over the Swedes in the Battle of Poltava – one of the 20 days of military glory in the Russian holiday calendar.

The Battle of Poltava became the decisive battle of the Northern War (1700-1721), in which the Russian Tsardom, which was in the period of reforms of Peter I, was confronted by the powerful Swedish Kingdom, led by the talented military leader Charles XII.

Charles's self-confidence played a cruel joke on him. Being in the minority, cut off from supplies, having lost his baggage train in the battle near the village of Lesnoy and having suffered serious losses in attempts to take Poltava by storm, the Swedish king decided on a general battle, hoping to defeat the Russian army, which was not yet well trained and equipped. Contrary to his expectations, the Russians had an overwhelming advantage in artillery and well-fortified positions.

In the first stage of the battle, the Swedes managed to occupy two unfinished redoubts on the move, but they were no longer able to advance. Having withstood heavy artillery fire and mixed up their ranks, they moved into a decisive attack, which quickly turned into a bayonet fight. Two hours later, they were surrounded by the Russians from the flanks, panicked, and fled the battlefield.

As a result, the Swedish corps was completely routed. About 9,000 people were killed, and 19,000, including all the generals, were captured. The Russians got the entire royal treasury, but Charles XII himself managed to escape to Turkey with a small detachment, where he continued to intrigue against Russia.

Despite the fact that the Northern War lasted for another 12 long years after the Battle of Poltava, Sweden could no longer pose a significant threat to the Russians. At the end of the war, Russia retained the territories of Karelia, Livonia, Estonia, Ingria and free access to the Baltic Sea, opening up broad strategic and trade opportunities.
