Novokuibyshevsk Petrochemical Company (part of Rosneft's oil refining and petrochemical complex) announced the results of a competition for methodological developments for school chemistry teachers. The project's goal is to select and support the best methods aimed at fostering student interest in the in-depth study of chemistry. The competition will help implement best practices in supplementary education in schools in the Samara Region.

The competition jury noted the high creative and professional potential of the region's teaching community. Six projects were selected as winners, designed to address educational and career guidance challenges, engaging students in the subject matter and facilitating their informed choice of future profession.

Among the winners was the original program "Let's Chemistry Together," which focused on conducting experiments and developing schoolchildren's skills in chemical analysis and the use of digital equipment.

The "Entertaining Chemistry" program is a course that develops an understanding of chemical processes at the everyday level, which can be the first step toward a career in the food or petrochemical industries.

The "From Test Tube to Production" project offers a ready-made engineering workshop where high school students assume the roles of technologists and solve cases from petrochemical plants. The course develops systems engineering thinking, which is essential for future technologists.

The "Novokuibyshevsk. Chemistry. Science. Catalysts" program creates an educational ecosystem of "school-factory-research institute." Students are immersed in the industrial and scientific environment of their hometown, and engineers and scientists share their knowledge and experience with future specialists.

"Oil and Gas: From Production to Refining" is a career guidance project that covers the entire production cycle, from geological exploration and drilling to petrochemicals and logistics. The course develops a holistic understanding of the oil and gas industry and inspires students to pursue engineering careers.

By supporting the best educational initiatives, the Company promotes the implementation of modern educational technologies and teaching materials. The presented methods and innovative solutions are aimed at developing engineering thinking skills in adolescents and expanding the range of tools for practical and laboratory chemistry classes.

By developing youth interest in the sciences, the Company is contributing to the region's future and laying the foundation for technological breakthroughs in the country.

The Novokuibyshevsk Petrochemical Company's popular science festival, "Park of Sciences," aims to develop children's and adolescents' interest in scientific knowledge and innovation, and to communicate the importance of natural sciences in an accessible manner.

The company has been holding the festival in Novokuibyshevsk since 2015, with over 5,000 schoolchildren participating. The petrochemists engage children in natural sciences by organizing engaging hands-on experiments and workshops that expand the scope of the school curriculum.

In 2025, the educational project "Park of Sciences" was included in the collection of "50 best projects" of the National Award in the field of public relations development "Silver Archer".

The Blogger Academy program was recognized as the best in the "Blogger Project in IT" category. This free educational course includes master classes on content creation, channel promotion, and audience engagement. The project's goal is to improve the quality of Russian video content.

"RUTUBE values its creators and strives to help them realize their creative ideas. Many talented bloggers fail to reach their audience, giving up halfway through—due to a lack of experience, they get lost in the information space, make mistakes at the start, don't know how to use the platform's functionality, and don't understand how to utilize their strengths. The educational course "Bloggers Academy" was created to help creators find their unique style and audience, and understand how to engage with them."

Egor Velikoglo, Director of Business Development and Authored Content, RUTUBE

Traditionally, the Runet Prize is a key indicator of industry trends. In 2025, projects at the intersection of technology, education, and media skills development received special recognition. RUTUBE's victory underscores the growing demand for training professional content creators.

The event's special track included the "Children on the RuNet" award, organized by the Alliance for Child Protection in the Digital Environment. Its goal is to support initiatives to develop a safe and nurturing online space for children and their families. Gazprom-Media Holding is one of the Alliance's founding members.

The Runet Prize is a national award in the field of high technology and the internet, held since 2004. The prize is awarded to organizations that have made a significant contribution to the development of domestic technologies, contributed to the creation of a trusted digital environment, and facilitated comfortable living conditions for citizens.

The National Center "Russia" hosted the premiere of the animated series "Technolike." The project was created by YARKO with the support of the Institute of Russian Innovative Cultures (IRI). The screening was held for students of the Movement of the First.

"Technolike" is a cyberpunk story about a teenage girl. She and her friends are trying to navigate the digital world and learn how to communicate online. After watching the series, we had a conversation with the project team about how animation can help develop cybersecurity skills in children. Through the series, the teenager experiences the situation alongside the characters and draws their own conclusions. And this is more powerful than dry instructions or any "don'ts" from adults.

Gazprom-Media Holding is a founding member of the Alliance for Child Protection in the Digital Environment, which was established in Russia in 2021.

A cooperation agreement between Gazprom-Media Holding and the Movement of the First was signed in 2023. It became part of the Holding's PROfnavigator project, which helps young people choose a career in the media industry.

The musical comedy topped the Russian box office for December 11-14, grossing 121.8 million rubles*. The film was distributed by Central Partnership (part of Gazprom-Media Holding).

"We made this film from the start with a wide release in mind. We understood that transferring television success to cinema isn't an automatic process. Ticket sales can't be 'transferred' from ratings; they have to be earned. So we didn't create a television special, but a full-fledged cinematic event—with a strong cast, large-scale musical numbers, our signature humor, and a sense of impending celebration."

Tina Kandelaki, Deputy General Director of Gazprom-Media Holding, Director of the TNT TV channel

The plot centers on the incredible love story of Shurik and Nina, transporting viewers into a kaleidoscope of Soviet and world cinema. The leading roles are played by Timur Batrutdinov, Marina Kravets, and Garik Martirosyan. This is a continuation of TNT's New Year's tradition: the channel previously aired parodies "The Self-Irony of Fate," "Ivan Vasilyevich Changes Everything!" and "The Undiamond Arm," combining nostalgia with modern humor.

The film's television premiere on TNT is December 31.

RN-Vankor (part of Rosneft's oil production complex) launched the Tagul 110/35/10 kV substation with a capacity of 2×63 MVA. It will ensure reliable power supply to facilities at the Tagulskoye field, part of the Vankor cluster.

Energy is supplied to Tagul from the 150 MW Polyarnaya gas turbine power plant at the Vankor field. A 110 kV transmission line over 70 km long has been built to connect the power plant to the Tagul substation.

Construction of the substation was expedited by installing prefabricated structures. The building houses power transformers, 35 and 10 kV indoor switchgear, and a control room.

The domestic design solutions used at the Tagul substation have been proven by the successful operation of the Vankor power complex in the Far North. The switchgear circuit remains operational even if individual components fail, increasing the overall reliability of the power supply to the oil field's production facilities.

Tagul is the eighth 110 kV substation in the Vankor field cluster. Two more similar substations are in the final stages of installation. The total length of overhead power lines already exceeds 1,900 km. The largest substation, Vankor, with a capacity of 250 MVA, connects the Vankor power district to the country's Unified Energy System.
