An important rejection of responsibility is at the bottom of this article.

Enterprises of small and medium-sized businesses of the North Caucasus Federal District (SCF) increased the volume of bank loans attracted to 5.76 billion rubles using the “umbrella” guarantees of the MSP Corporation in the first half of 2025. This is 6% more than in the same period last year.

“The North Caucasian region is actively using the mechanisms of state support to attract financing. According to the results of the first half of the year, thanks to the financial instruments of participants in the national guarantee system, small and medium -sized businesses of the North Caucasus was able to attract 22.3 billion rubles, which is 56% more than in the first six months of 2024. One of the most popular tools was the “umbrella” mechanism of the SME Corporation, which allowed entrepreneurs to attract the necessary funding in the absence or insufficiency of the pledge. And the banks thus received an additional incentive to support local business projects, ”said Alexander Novak, deputy chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation.

The leaders in attracting financing using the mechanism of “umbrella” guarantees were the Stavropol Territory (3.54 billion rubles), the Chechen Republic (0.86 billion rubles) and the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania (0.54 billion rubles), the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (0.43 billion rubles) and the Republic of Dagestan (0.26 billion rubles). The largest increase in financing with “umbrella” guarantees is noted in the Chechen Republic (+74%), the Stavropol Territory (+24%) and the Republic of North Ossetia – Alania (+13%).

“According to the results of the first half of 2025, in fact, every fourth ruble received by the entrepreneurs of the North Caucasus in the form of borrowed banking financing was obtained using the mechanism of“ umbrella ”guarantees. The procedure for obtaining them is automatically, without the participation of an entrepreneur. The guarantee itself is free for business: the bank pays the commission. For the North Caucasus Federal District, special limits of guarantees of the SME Corporation were allocated and there are no restrictions on industries. This year, our “umbrella” guarantees most often used enterprises in the segment of information and communication – compared to the same period last year, growth was more than six times, ”said Alexander Isaevich, General Director of the SME Corporation.

The growth of “umbrella” support was shown by enterprises in the processing segment (92%), services (88%), transportation and storage (40%), agriculture (34%), healthcare and social sphere (51%), culture and sports. In addition to the “umbrella” guarantees of the SME Corporation, the small and medium business of the North Caucasus Federal District, following the results of the first six months of 2025, received more than 8 billion rubles of financial support in the subsidiary of the SME Bank in the form of loans and warranty support. This is three times more than according to the results of the same period a year earlier.

The “umbrella” mechanism involves the provision of guarantees to banks – partners of the MSP Corporation, within the framework of which financial organizations issue loans to entrepreneurs provided by the guarantees of the SME Corporation. Such guarantees cover up to 50% of the bank loan. The amount of one guarantee can reach 1 billion rubles in a period of up to 10 years. The mechanism guarantees the bank the fulfillment of obligations on such a loan, thereby reducing reserves and releasing liquidity for additional lending to the business.

The “umbrella” mechanism of guarantees was launched in 2021 on behalf of the President of Russia and is currently being implemented at the national project “Effective and Competitive Economics”.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

During these hot days, an equally hot event took place at the Igora Drive circuit in the Leningrad Region — the fourth Garage Fest festival. The Polytech North Capital Motorsport (Polytech NCM) student team became one of the participants in the Formula Student competition and performed well.

There was so much to see at the festival! Four-hour endurance races, drift competitions, exhibitions of rare cars, dragsters and drag racing prototypes, as well as interesting lectures and discussions about the past, present and future of cars.

A separate topic is the international student racing car competition "Formula Student". There, our Polytech NCM team did not get lost among strong competitors from Russia, Turkey and China. The guys proved that they are real engineers and athletes, ready to fight for leadership. At all stages of the competition, they were supported by students from the Polymer association – they tried not to miss a single event of the program, filmed a report, followed the races and, of course, rooted for the Polytechnicians.

To gain access to the races, you need to overcome the stage of static disciplines. Here, Polytech NCM was at its best. The guys passed the technical inspection and presented their car to experts. As a result, the Polytechnicians became winners in the presentation of the business plan, received second place for the report on cost and production, and came in third in the disciplines "Best digital twin of a racing car" and "Protection of the structure".

Thus, the team earned the right to participate in the general race and took fourth place there. The guys were delighted to be among their own again – in the engineering community, where everyone supports each other despite the competition. Now they are set for the new season and expect to improve their result at the next Garage Fest Igora Drive.

"1C Academy": effective teaching of 1C technologies in universities

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

In July 2025, a large educational program was completed — a course for advanced training of teachers "1C Academy: Effective Teaching of 1C Technologies in Universities". It is implemented by Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University together with a technology partner — 1C Company. The main goal of the educational project "1C Academy" is to improve the quality and level of teaching modern technologies of corporate information systems. It is also aimed at training in the professional use of 1C products in the context of rapidly developing requirements of the digital economy based on the concept of a ready-made educational product.

In 2025, 1C Academy united more than 100 higher education institutions from 68 cities in five countries and 192 teachers seeking to develop their professional competencies in teaching modern information technologies based on advanced solutions from 1C. The scope of training participants has expanded significantly and, importantly, teachers from universities in the CIS countries have joined the program — more than 30% of the program's students are foreign participants. Among them: 12 teachers from Uzbekistan, 8 from Kazakhstan, 43 representatives from Belarus and 1 participant from Armenia. Thus, 1C Academy has reached a new level of cooperation and integration of educational resources of Russia and partners in the CIS countries.

A ready-made educational product is an approach when a complete set of educational and methodological materials is prepared: video lectures, tests, practical cases, configured for performing practical tasks of the IT system. The materials are adapted for any form of conducting classes and are ready for replication. The materials themselves, without a teacher training system, are ineffective, so SPbPU has developed a professional development program where teachers study not just the capabilities of the product, but receive material that can immediately be integrated with the university's LMS and begin teaching disciplines related to 1C, – said one of the authors of the course, senior researcher of the International Academic Competence Center "Intellectual Enterprise Technologies" of the Advanced Engineering School "Digital Engineering" SPbPU Anton Ambrazhey.

During the training, the participants completed a four-month course covering various processes in the 1C: ERP CIS, development on the 1C: Enterprise platform, and a methodological block. The program was successfully completed by 117 people, which amounted to more than 60%. The most successful graduates were awarded prizes from 1C.

Many participants noted the excellent structure of the course, the clarity of presentation of the material, the quality of the educational and methodological materials.

The course was organized and conducted at the highest level! The materials are structured and easy to understand, the feedback is timely, support is at all stages of training, – wrote in the review senior lecturer of the Kazakh Agrotechnical University Ayagoz Orazbaeva.

Professor of Moscow Polytechnic University Petr Romanov noted: The high level of preparation of educational materials and convenient structure allowed to effectively master new technologies. Convenient video lectures and prompt feedback from the organizers made a special impression.

This is the first time I am taking part in such training! The level of methodological support, technical support, as well as the quality of the prepared materials and the professionalism of the speakers are amazing! I felt “space” technologies on myself. This course has become a vector for the coming semesters. Thank you for the training! I will follow your example!!! — shared her impressions of the course associate professor of the Ural State Mining University Svetlana Lebedeva.

Deputy Director for Strategic Projects at 1C LLC Nikita Starichkov, assessing the importance of the 1C Academy for the industry, noted: There may be different universities, different areas of training, different educational programs, but always and everywhere it is the teachers who play a key role in the development and training of a young specialist. At the same time, it is important that the knowledge of teachers does not lag behind the IT industry, which is developing by leaps and bounds. Therefore, for our part, we welcome and support the Academy project, which has been held by Polytech for several years now. We hope that it will continue to actively develop in the future.

The Polytechnic University is holding a similar "Academy" for students. A similar course for students, "1C Academy for Students", is scheduled to launch in October 2025. Information can be found atofficial website of the program. Students from Russian and foreign universities have a unique opportunity to master new technologies and develop the necessary competencies for a successful career in the modern digital economy.

An important result of the implementation of the "1C Academy" is the creation of a solid foundation for the further development of the pedagogical potential of universities in the CIS countries and the training of highly professional personnel for the modern digital economy. Teachers and students acquire valuable knowledge and ready-made materials that allow not only to form a theoretical basis, but also to actively apply modern digital solutions in training and work.

How to pay for your studies without stress: we tell you about a preferential loan for students

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Students who pay for their education have the opportunity to take advantage of an educational loan with state support.

What are the advantages of such a loan? The state pays most of the interest rate. Therefore, for a student, the rate is only 3% per annum. Moreover, it is valid for the entire term of the loan, and not just for the duration of the studies.

A loan can be taken to pay for any period of study – from one semester to the entire term. During the course of study and for another nine months after its completion, there is a benefit for loan payments. The remaining debt can be repaid within 15 years, but without benefits. Of course, if possible, you can repay the loan early without any fees.

The borrower under the loan agreement with the bank will be the student himself, so it is not necessary to provide a certificate of income – earnings are not important for receiving an educational loan.

And these are the documents you need:

original passport; original agreement on the provision of paid educational services with a university or college or its certified copy with a note that the copy corresponds to the original; receipt or invoice for tuition fees.

If the student is under 18 years old, the following will also be required:

original birth certificate; original passport of one of the parents; original written consent of one of the parents to enter into a loan agreement with the bank.

Before applying to a bank for a loan, sign an agreement with a university or college. It should indicate that you will be studying in a fee-paying department. Then come with your documents to an office convenient for youSbera(if you are under 18, then with your parents) or leave a request on the website.

If the loan is approved, the bank will credit the amount to your account and then transfer it to the educational institution's account. You cannot withdraw or spend this money. In case the university requires confirmation of the transfer, save the payment document.

Over the past 10 years, the championship has become one of the most significant events in the field of inclusive vocational education, expanding its mission. As President Vladimir Putin noted, people who have chosen to serve the Fatherland, according to their preparation and desire, should take certain positions in various areas and directions.

The Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation signed the Resolution prepared by the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia on changing the requirements for the list of minimum necessary services provided at road service facilities. From March 1, 2026, at filling stations (AZS) in the right-of-way of highways, it must be possible to use DC charging stations with a capacity of at least 44 kW for electric vehicles.

The changes will affect petrol stations located on public roads of federal, regional, inter-municipal and local significance. The resolution supplements the list of minimum necessary services provided at road service facilities, and also regulates the minimum necessary requirements for the capacity of electric vehicle chargers.

"Over the past three years, there has been a threefold increase in the number of electric vehicles in the country. At the moment, more than 67 thousand "electric trains" have already been registered. Their operation is largely limited to city streets, where the density of electric charging stations is significantly higher than on highways. One of our implemented initiatives was the adjustment of requirements for filling stations in the right-of-way of public roads. Fast charging stations with a capacity of at least 44 kW will appear at new filling stations. This will generally increase the mobility of electric vehicles, the speed of their movement over long distances, and reduce the time required to charge an electric vehicle," commented Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Mikhail Kaminsky.

The work is being carried out within the framework of the implementation of the activities of the federal project “Production of Innovative Transport”, which is part of the new national project “Industrial Support of Transport Mobility”.

Marat Khusnullin: Traffic has been launched on the reconstructed overpass on the Adler bypass

Opening of traffic on the reconstructed overpass on the A-149 Adler – Krasnaya Polyana highway.

The opening of traffic on the reconstructed overpass on the A-149 Adler – Krasnaya Polyana highway took place. It is part of the future interchange at the eastern portal of the Adler bypass, which will later become part of the prospective highway from the M-4 "Don" highway to Sochi and will connect the village of Kudepsta with the village of Vysokoe. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"A developed road network with reliable artificial structures is one of the drivers of the country's socio-economic development. That is why we are actively working on updating and building modern highways. Thus, as part of this large-scale work, traffic was launched on the reconstructed overpass at 6 km of the A-149 Adler – Krasnaya Polyana highway. This is a major event in the framework of the implementation of the project to build an Adler bypass, which will later become part of the promising highway from the M-4 Don highway to Sochi and connect the village of Kudepsta with the village of Vysokoe. During the reconstruction of the overpass, specialists completed a large amount of work. By adding metal consoles on both sides, the existing overpass was widened to 13.5 m. Now Sochi residents and its guests will be able to move more conveniently both towards Adler and towards Krasnaya Polyana, bypassing a long turn through the entire interchange," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that the completion of the reconstruction of the overpass and the launch of vehicle traffic on it will allow them to begin the main task – the preparation and drilling of vehicle tunnels from Ivanovskaya Street to Kudepsta.

According to the Chairman of the Board of the state company Avtodor, Vyacheslav Petushenko, the reconstruction of the overpass began in November last year, and work on the site was carried out in two shifts.

"For the convenience of local residents, the overpass was equipped with noise protection screens, and in order to improve traffic safety, we installed lights, a barrier fence, and a storm drain. Also, during the reconstruction, we paid close attention to the quality and durability of the road surface. Thus, for laying asphalt concrete, we used the Superpave technology. This is an innovative method that takes into account climatic and transport loads, ensures high resistance of the surface to cracking due to temperature fluctuations, deformation and fatigue failure. This method helps to predict the condition of the road surface over time, taking into account the influence of climatic features of a particular region and the level of transport load," said Vyacheslav Petushenko.

There have been more frequent cases of fraudulent actions aimed at illegally obtaining funds from individuals, in particular, applicants and their legal representatives submitting documents for admission to higher education institutions online.

Beware of fake sites!

Fraudsters place fake websites of higher education institutions on the Internet. Fake websites almost completely repeat the style, design and content of the main pages of official websites of higher education institutions.

Also, fake websites additionally host electronic payment systems that accept funds for services of higher education institutions (priority entrance examinations, payment of entrance fees, payment for trial testing services, etc.).

At the same time, fake sites may contain personal account services, services that implement online testing, as well as other services and forms that mislead potential victims.

In addition, scammers may enter into correspondence with a potential victim via email and telephone, offering to use paid services.
