Dmitry and Diana Gubina, a future landscape architect and educational program methodologist, met at a summer camp in Kazan. There, the boys fell in love, got married after school, and went to study at Moscow universities. On Family, Love, and Fidelity Day, their couple won the Best Student Family of Russia competition.

The competition took place from April 21 to July 8, with a total of 210 couples taking part. At the first stage, the jury assessed the participants' portfolios and their video business cards.

"Diana and I attached our diplomas with achievements to the portfolio. My wife has the status of a silver and gold medalist of the student competition "I am a professional", she is a student of the Moscow City Pedagogical University. I attached my honors bachelor's degree from RUDN and successes in grant competitions and olympiads. There was nothing super creative in our video business card, we just sincerely and heartily told about ourselves," – Dmitry Gubin (Landscape Architecture, Master, 2nd year).

Love and charity

Dmitry and Diana are not only gnawing at the granite of science together, but are also involved in a charity project. The couple created an autonomous non-profit organization, the Educational Center STEP. The organization provides free education and exam preparation for schoolchildren from low-income families and families in difficult life situations, orphans and children from orphanages. “We also have mentoring programs. During group classes, children develop their flexible skills, and mentors help them choose interesting areas for study, participate in competitions, and get vouchers to children's centers. Recently, our ANO received a grant from Rosmolodezh for 500 thousand rubles,” — Dmitry Gubin (Landscape Architecture, Master's student, 2nd year).

Such an important project could not leave the jury members indifferent. Dmitry and Diana made it to the finals, where they competed with 28 other couples on the Gzhel State University site in the Moscow region from July 6 to 8.

Parade of talents

In the final, the children took part in intellectual games, demonstrated their physical fitness and even prepared several delicious dishes.

"We passed the GTO standards: we pumped up our abs, lifted weights, did push-ups… Then there was the creative numbers stage. We told the story of our family through dance, which was accompanied by audio and video. And we presented the jury with pine cone jam, because this is our tradition – every year we collect pine cones and make jam. Another creative stage was a master class, where my wife and I created wax candles. We added aromatic oils, dried lavender and currants to them to make our work unique. And in the culinary talents competition, my wife and I prepared a "Sunny" salad, similar to the Greek one, cucumber and cream cheese rolls in the form of snails and a fruit dessert," – Dmitry Gubin (Landscape Architecture, Master's degree, 2nd year).

Family trail

An important stage of the final was teamwork with other participants of the competition. The contestants were divided into groups and developed proposals for organizing all-Russian educational and leisure events for students. The ideas that made it into the top 3 were presented at the plenary session to the Deputy Head of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia Olga Petrova.

"Our team presented the project "Family Path": this is a festival in the form of a journey through time for young families and couples. Its essence is to allow participants to immerse themselves in the life of different peoples of the country through historical and ethnographic reconstruction, as well as to study their crafts and customs. We also proposed to establish an all-Russian Family Center. Families will be able to come here for festivals, training courses and meetings dedicated to the history, crafts and way of life of their ancestors," – Dmitry Gubin (Landscape Architecture, Master's student, 2nd year).

Students' initiatives will be implemented within the framework of the federal project "Family Support".

Cruiser to the future

The RUDN Agrarian and Technological Institute is proud of the married couple’s victory.

"Dmitry is an excellent student not only in terms of his studies, but also in matters of extracurricular activities. He annually takes part in grant stories and Olympiads, successfully combines his studies in the Master's program and his professional path. In a word, he is the pride of the institute. And now he and his wife have the title of "Best Student Family of Russia". I want to wish Dmitry and Diana not to stop there, because they have a huge number of bright and memorable moments of family life ahead of them. I am glad that for the guys, family is not just a stamp in the passport, but a real cruiser paving the way to the future," – Alexandra Dmitrieva, Deputy Director for Work with Students of the RUDN Agrarian and Technological Institute.

The competition "The Best Student Family of Russia" was held within the framework of the federal project "Family Support" of the national project "Family".

Vietnamese gold medalist Do The Manh: "Polytech taught me to boldly move forward"

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

SPbPU Master's graduate Do The Manh received one of the university's highest awards – a gold medal. He studied at the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications in the field of "Secure Telecommunication Systems". In an interview, he spoke about his path, his love for St. Petersburg and advice to future international students.

— Congratulations on the gold medal! This is an outstanding achievement. Tell us why you chose Russia, St. Petersburg and the Polytechnic?

— For the Vietnamese, Russia is a friendly country. Historical ties are very strong. We know that Russia has powerful technologies, especially in telecommunications — reliable, excellent systems. First, I chose a direction, then decided to study in Russia, and then I learned about the Polytechnic. It attracted me not only by the level of science, but also by the atmosphere, the beauty of the city and student life.

— You went from a bachelor’s degree to a master’s degree at the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications. Why telecommunications?

— I became interested in it back in school. I liked how Wi-Fi and the Internet worked. I wanted to understand the principles, how it was installed and how it could be improved. That’s how I decided on the direction.

— Have your expectations from studying been met now, with a master’s degree in hand?

– Absolutely! The knowledge turned out to be deep and very important for a future career. Expectations were fully met.

— What were your first impressions of St. Petersburg and the Polytechnic University seven years ago?

— The city captivated me with its beauty right away: the streets, the architecture, the sights. The number of foreign students at the Polytechnic was astounding — over 5,000! We lived in a dormitory. The Russian language was not easy, especially because of the Cyrillic alphabet. But the teachers at the preparatory faculty were amazingly kind and patient, they explained everything very specifically. It helped a lot.

— The path to the gold medal was clearly not easy. What was the most difficult?

— It was very difficult to combine studies with social work. I was the chairman of the Association of Vietnamese Students in St. Petersburg and a member of the association in Russia. There were many organizational matters, and sometimes the balance between studies and social work failed.

— How did you manage to overcome this imbalance?

— The teachers and the management helped. I knew that I could turn to them for help or advice. And I am very grateful for such support — without it, it would have been more difficult to get a medal.

— Which subjects or teachers did you remember the most?

— The classes of my scientific supervisor Alexander Leonidovich Gelgor were especially inspiring. He taught several subjects both in the bachelor's and master's programs. His lectures and seminars were incredibly interesting because they combined theory and practice. I think that not only I, but also most of the group appreciated them for this.

— Besides the language, what difficulties did you face as a foreign student?

— At first, it was difficult to communicate with Russian classmates. My Vietnamese friend and I stuck together, there was a certain wall. But it collapsed after a semester. We started communicating about our studies — we helped each other with assignments, we had a good school base. And then our friendship went beyond the classroom. We went for walks, spent time together.

— Climate, food, everyday life — what was the most unusual?

— The climate! Definitely! In Vietnam, the minimum temperature is 10°C, and in my first winter here I encountered -30°C! It was a shock. But by the second winter I got used to it — it was freezing outside, but the hostel was always warm. There were no problems with food. I really loved borscht! And Russian shashlik is not just food, but a whole atmosphere: company, new places, laughter… A special tradition.

— Did you learn Russian from scratch at the preparatory faculty?

— Almost. In Vietnam, I spent six months learning the basics: the alphabet, basic phrases. Serious grammar and practice began here. I even walked and talked to people on the streets on purpose — I practiced and learned a lot of interesting things about their lives and experiences. The preparatory course gave me much more than just the language.

— What did you like most about St. Petersburg?

— I love everything here! Over the course of seven years, the city, the people, the university, the teachers, the friends — everything has become familiar and dear.

— Did you manage to get to know Russian culture more deeply?

— Yes! Thanks to our work in the association, we were often invited to events by the Committee on External Relations and the Committee on Youth Policy of St. Petersburg. We tried national cuisine and learned about traditions. It is amazing how history is honored and culture is preserved here. This largely explains Russia's place in the world.

— What have these seven years been like for you?

— It was a path from a schoolboy to a specialist. I matured internally, learned to manage my time, earned the respect of those around me. I received a colossal amount of baggage — not only knowledge, but also life experience.

— What skills, professional and personal, do you consider the most valuable?

— The ability to plan studies and life, to manage time. And respect for people — beyond any doubt.

— What would you tell yourself 7 years ago, on your first day at the Polytechnic?

– Don't be shy! Act! There were moments when shyness prevented me from doing something, and then I regretted it. If you want something, do it boldly!

— Was there anything completely unexpected, good or difficult?

— The most unexpected and pleasant surprise was the gold medal! I didn’t even know it existed at first. I found out later, but the main goal was always to gain knowledge in order to apply it in Vietnam. The medal is a wonderful bonus to that.

— What are your plans now? Is a Polytechnic diploma an advantage in Vietnam?

— I'm going back to Vietnam soon to work in my specialty. There's already a place. A Polytechnic diploma is certainly a strong advantage. Russia is known for its technologies, and Polytechnic has a high rating and teachers recognized in our field. This is appreciated.

— Will you maintain contact with Russia?

— Definitely! With friends, teachers, the university. And if the work requires deepening of knowledge, perhaps I will return to graduate school.

— What is your main advice to future foreign students of the Polytechnic University?

— Learn Russian. Don't be shy about communicating with Russians! Plan your studies. Know how to manage your time. And most importantly: don't be afraid to ask your teachers. They are friendly and will always help you figure things out.

NSU developed a board game "Startup Race"

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

NSU Startup Studio developed a board game "Startup Race", which simulates the actions of a startup in a real market. The game includes all stages of a startup's life – from developing an idea to exiting the project. It allows you to show students and anyone interested in and planning to engage in entrepreneurship in a simple form what awaits them in the market. The game is implemented in a rare genre of "strategic puzzle", at the moment there are no analogues on the market. In the near future, a boxed version of the game will appear, which will be available for pre-order. Anyone can buy it.

The game is structured as follows: participants roll dice in accordance with the stage of the startup's life, which is announced in advance by the game host. They draw cards from the deck, presented as Tetris figures. The figures build a line, which, in essence, reflects the entire life cycle of the project. Cards or figures are opportunities (for example, fundraising) or risks.

The first stage of startup development is the idea, when the project is just emerging. It is the easiest for players, since at the very beginning, participants have the most cards and it is easiest to lay the foundation for further development of the project. The next stage is MVP (Minimum Viable Product), that is, the creation of a minimum viable product. At this stage, some obstacles to the development of the project appear, for example, the idea has not come true or the participant cannot achieve certain technical indicators. The number of figures decreases.

The next stage is Product-Market Fit (PMF), i.e. checking the product's compliance with the market. At this stage, players develop a concept taking into account the real market situation, a marketing plan, and the project gets its first real clients. At the same time, risks arise that can destroy the project.

Next comes the scaling stage, when the project can already attract fundraising funds, which is also reflected in the game. Fundraising funds are special cards that provide a significant boost to the further development of the project. The last stage is exiting the project, which is associated with the greatest risks for the creator. Investments can also be attracted at this stage, but the opportunities for scaling are limited. This is one of the longest stages for the project and its founder. Possible exit strategies include selling the business, shares, public offering of shares (IPO), etc.

— A player can develop several projects simultaneously and build different strategies on several markets — tracks. It is very important that your main project, on which you place a high bet, has repeating figures. There are risks — these are cards that can remove one of the figures within the entire chain, which can lead to the collapse of the project. There are specialized cards — fundraising, which, on the contrary, give you additional opportunities. In terms of Tetris, these are the most “favorable” figures — for example, a long straight line. You can simultaneously invest in several projects or develop only one, but in any case, your task is to successfully develop the project, go through all the stages and bring the startup to the final stage as quickly as possible, — explained Konstantin Kravtsov, an employee of the NSU Startup Studio.

The game simulates market competition, so within its framework you can hinder or, conversely, help your rivals. Also here are such mandatory elements of entrepreneurial activity as risk assessment and diversification, choice of development strategy – conservative or risky. Thus, the game in a simplified mechanical form simulates the actions of a person who develops his startup on the market.

The game is designed for different groups of people, including those who are not very knowledgeable about the startup market; children also actively play it.

— The Startup Race is not just entertainment, but a tool for involving the general public in entrepreneurship. It helps to understand that a startup is not just a “cafe”, but an innovative, fast-growing business that scales. The NSU Startup Studio team plans to replicate the game. At first, it will be packaged in a boxed version, and then it will be available for pre-order. The possibility of creating an elite version of the game, which can be used as representative gifts, is also being considered, — emphasized Alexey Starostin, a representative of the NSU Startup Studio.

The International Arts Festival “Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk” is a large-scale cultural project that promotes humanitarian cooperation.

The opening ceremony of the XXXIV International Festival of Arts "Slavianski Bazaar" took place in Vitebsk. It is a large-scale cultural project that promotes humanitarian cooperation, as well as the revival and development of artistic culture and art.

At the opening ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk read out the welcoming words of Russian President Vladimir Putin to the festival participants and guests: “Dear friends! I cordially welcome you on the occasion of the opening of the next, XXXIV International Arts Festival “Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk”.

The festival, held in the ancient and beautiful Belarusian city, makes a significant contribution to strengthening spiritual ties between the fraternal Slavic peoples, to the development of mutually beneficial humanitarian cooperation. Its motto – "Through art to peace and mutual understanding" – sounds especially relevant in the current difficult international conditions.

This year the program of the "Slavianski Bazaar" is very rich and diverse. Several festival venues will host performances by famous singers and artists, musical, folklore and pop groups, numerous theatrical productions, exhibitions and presentations. Much attention is paid to the children's audience: various creative competitions for young performers are planned.

A special place in the program is occupied by events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War – the most important event in our common history. I am sure that the great power of art will help preserve the grateful memory of the glorious deeds of our fathers and grandfathers who fought shoulder to shoulder against the fascist invaders, and pass on to the younger generations the good traditions of fraternal friendship and mutual assistance bequeathed by them.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who took part in organizing the festival, wish its participants inspiration and success, and the guests – bright, unforgettable impressions.”

The International Festival of Arts "Slavianski Bazaar" has been held since 1992. This year, artists from more than 40 countries are taking part in it; the festival events are taking place in Vitebsk from July 8 to 14.

Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova spoke at a joint meeting of the State Duma committees in preparation for holding a government hour on the topic "On priorities in implementing the demographic policy of the Russian Federation." The meeting was also attended by Minister of Labor and Social Protection Anton Kotyakov, Minister of Finance Anton Siluanov, Minister of Culture Olga Lyubimova, representatives of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Utilities.

"Our absolute priority is to preserve the population. This is the main national goal, designated by the President of the country. And this is a national goal for many years. Because within this goal, the birth rate is, of course, the most difficult issue. And the birth rate is not a momentary decision. It is a person's motivation to start a family. And this is our hard and painstaking work. And I will start with the basics of state policy to support traditional spiritual and moral values. This is, in fact, the key issue. Fostering in society an attitude towards family, towards a child, towards parents, towards grandparents. Towards a multi-generational, dynastic family. And pride in the fact that this family exists," said Tatyana Golikova.

The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that today, on average, a woman gives birth to her first child at the age of 26, and the average age of a woman at the birth of a child is 29.

"As our President says, the entire infrastructure should be built around the family. And this means that all our priorities, our national projects should work towards this idea," noted Tatyana Golikova. "What we are seeing today is a great commitment to urbanization. And this commitment to urbanization leads to the fact that individual settlements are left without people. We must create the appropriate infrastructure around. This settlement must live, so that it is interesting to live in it."

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, 80.4% of births today occur in cities. At the same time, by the end of 2024, the total fertility rate in Russia as a whole was 1.4, and in the village – 1.6.

In addition, on the eve of the government hour, Tatyana Golikova met with all factions of the State Duma – United Russia, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, A Just Russia and New People. The meetings were also attended by the Minister of Labor and Social Protection Anton Kotyakov, the Minister of Health Mikhail Murashko, the Minister of Finance Anton Siluanov, representatives of the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities and the Ministry of Culture.

Over the year, the number of small and medium-sized companies has grown by 3%.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

According to the annual update of the Unified Register of Small and Medium-Sized Businesses, which is administered by the Federal Tax Service of Russia, the country has recorded an increase in companies and individual entrepreneurs. Currently, there are almost 6.4 million SMEs.

"Based on the results of the annual update of the Unified Register of Small and Medium-Sized Businesses in Russia, 6.4 million operating companies and individual entrepreneurs have been registered. This is the highest figure since 2017, when the register was launched. We are recording a stable positive trend: compared to the previous period, the number of SMEs has increased by 3.2%, or about 200 thousand. Such results confirm the high role of small and medium businesses in the country's economy and the effectiveness of the measures taken to support and develop them," said Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Alexander Novak.

The annual update of the Unified Register takes place on July 10 and reflects the most current number of SME entities. It is carried out on the basis of the reports submitted by entrepreneurs at the beginning of the year for the previous period. Companies and individual entrepreneurs that no longer meet the SME criteria or have not submitted the required reports within the established deadline are excluded from the register.

"More and more enterprises are demonstrating dynamic development, going beyond the criteria established for small and medium-sized businesses. If previously about three thousand companies made the annual transition beyond the SME sector, this year their number approached five thousand. This indicates qualitative growth of business, its transition to a new level of maturity and scale. For such companies, we are already developing special measures to support SMEs in order to ensure their stable development and further integration into a higher-level economy," explained Maxim Reshetnikov, Minister of Economic Development of Russia.

"The Ministry of Economic Development of Russia also notes positive dynamics in the growth of the number of medium-sized enterprises. Currently, more than 22 thousand medium-sized companies are registered, their number has grown by 6% over the year, and by 19% compared to 2023," commented Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Tatyana Ilyushnikova.

As a result of monthly updates of the Unified Register of SMEs, as a rule, an increase in the number of small and medium-sized enterprises is recorded. However, during the annual update, which is carried out on July 10, a reduction in the total number of entities is usually observed. This is primarily due to the administrative features of maintaining the register and does not reflect the real state of the SME sector.

Bridge across the Voya River, Kirov Region.

Thanks to the national project "Infrastructure for Life", in 2025, more than 500 bridges and overpasses with a length of 42.2 thousand linear meters will be built, reconstructed, repaired, including major repairs, on the regional and local road network. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"Bridges, overpasses, and flyovers allow you to overcome difficult sections, reduce travel time, and reduce the load on alternative routes. They ensure uninterrupted traffic flow, connect territories, and improve road safety. The construction and timely repair of artificial structures are important for the sustainability and efficiency of the country's road framework. Thanks to the national project "Infrastructure for Life", in 2025, more than 500 bridges and overpasses with a length of 42.2 thousand linear meters will be built, reconstructed, repaired, including major repairs," said Marat Khusnullin.

In particular, this year it is planned to commission 7 artificial structures, another 65 bridges and overpasses will be reconstructed. 228 structures will undergo major repairs. Work on a number of objects began under the national project "Safe High-Quality Roads".

Thus, in the Luninsky District of the Penza Region, the reconstruction of the bridge across the Shuksha River, located on the Penza-Lunino highway, was completed significantly ahead of schedule. The highway is part of the regional backbone network of highways, and also connects the administrative center of the Penza Region with the district center of the Luninsky District and further with the Republic of Mordovia.

The old bridge built in the 60s of the last century was in a pre-emergency condition. The new four-span structure has a length of 101.25 running meters. The width is 16 running meters. The project provides for sidewalks 2.25 m wide. The total length of approaches to the bridge is 235 m. Also, for the comfort of Luninets living near the artificial structure, noise protection screens more than 300 m long have been installed.

The major repairs of the bridge across the Voya River in the Nemsky District of the Kirov Region were completed ahead of schedule and put into operation. It is located on the regional highway Kyrchany – Nema – Kilmez. The length of the facility is 300 running meters. The crossing provides a connection between the Kirov Region and the Udmurt Republic. The traffic of three regional highways passes here: Kyrchany – Nema – Kilmez, Kazan – Perm and Kirov – Malmyzh – Vyatskiye Polyany.

Two artificial structures were opened in the Ulyanovsk region after major repairs: a bridge over a ravine in the Novomalyklinsky district and a bridge over the Vodoleyka River in the Sursky district. The length of the first object is 30.1 running meters. The crossing over the ravine is located on the highway ""R-241 Kazan – Buinsk – Ulyanovsk, approach to the city of Samara" – Dimitrovgrad" – Novaya Malykla.

The second object is a bridge across the Vodoleyka River built in 1967. It is located on the Surskoye-Shumerlya-Moscow-Kazan highway. The road is part of the regional backbone network and connects the Ulyanovsk Region and the Chuvash Republic. In addition, a school route passes through here. The length of the object is 66.9 running meters.
