The Faculty of Forensic Law and Law in Construction and Transport at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering held its traditional Olympiad for school students, "Themis of the 21st Century." The event annually brings together students interested in legal professions and forensic science.

Dmitry Ivanov, Dean of the Faculty and Candidate of Law, addressed the participants with a welcoming speech. He emphasized that the Olympiad has become an important university tradition and allows students to become familiar with the professions of lawyers and forensic experts. "We hope that today you will discover many new things and gain a first impression of the legal profession. If you are interested in further exploring our faculty, we look forward to seeing you at the open day on December 6," noted Dmitry Valerievich.

Deputy Dean for Academic Affairs Elena Ivanova, PhD in Law, spoke about the opportunities the university offers applicants. She presented the "Become a Student for a Day" program, which allows applicants to immerse themselves in the university atmosphere, attend classes, and become more familiar with the Jurisprudence program and the specialties of the Faculty of Forensic Science and Law.

Schoolchildren also received informational materials about the university's areas of study, faculties, and educational programs.

Fourth-year student Daria Meleshina reported that young people under 35 can participate in grant competitions offered by the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs by proposing real-world projects with social significance. One of these is "InfoShield," which develops methods to combat online fraud. The Olympiad also focused on this topic. "These days, everyone spends a lot of time online and, unfortunately, encounters online dangers. At all five stations of the Olympiad, we will analyze specific cases of online fraud," Daria explained.

Participants completed interactive stations prepared by faculty students. The tasks included:

Crime scene investigation; internet fraud case analysis; composite sketch; fingerprint analysis; legal mini-quests.

The Olympiad winners received commemorative gifts and diplomas.

After completing the competitions, participants took photos in the mock courtroom, where they could step into the "defendant's cage" and try on a judge's robe.

The Faculty of Forensic Science and Law invites all high school students to an open day on December 6th. Applicants will be able to learn more about admissions policies, educational programs, and student life.

Andrey Maksimov, Sergey Tyotushkin and Andrey Rudskoy

Sergei Tyotushkin, an assistant professor in the Structural Mechanics Department at SPbGASU, has won the 2025 St. Petersburg Government Prize in Science and Education. The competition was held by the Committee on Science and Higher Education as part of the "Knowledge Economy in St. Petersburg" program.

The awards ceremony took place on December 3 at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. The event was attended by Andrei Maksimov, Chairman of the Committee on Science and Higher Education, and Andrei Rudskoy, Rector of SPbPU.

Sergey Tyotushkin submitted an English-language textbook on structural mechanics, "Methods of the Oscillation Theory. Problems of Structures' Dynamics: Study Tutorial," co-authored with his supervisor, Nadezhda Ostrovskaya, PhD, Associate Professor in the Department of Structural Mechanics.

The relevance of this textbook is driven by the increasing number of international students studying at SPbGASU. This textbook is unique to the department and represents a convenient and in-demand tool for teaching construction engineering students in English.

This textbook presents the fundamental methods for studying the vibration equations of dynamic systems and demonstrates their application to structural dynamics problems. Methods for formulating vibration equations are considered, including the Lagrange method, the kinetostatic method, and the finite element method. Solutions are provided for systems with one degree of freedom, as well as with a finite and infinite number of degrees of freedom. Issues of free and forced vibrations, the fundamentals of stochastic analysis, examples of steady-state solutions, and numerical methods for calculating nonlinear problems are covered.

This textbook is intended for international students studying in the fields of Industrial and Civil Engineering and Construction of Unique Buildings and Structures, as well as for master's and postgraduate students in technical specialties.

We congratulate Sergei Tyotushkin and the department staff on this high assessment of their work and wish them continued professional success!

Anna Denderina

An exhibition by Anna Denderina, a renowned monumental artist and Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Arts, has opened in the exhibition hall of the Faculty of Architecture at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (SPbGASU). The exhibition is part of a creative collaboration between the university, the I.E. Repin St. Petersburg Academy of Arts, and the Monumental Painting Workshop under the direction of Alexander Bystrov.

The event was opened by Yulia Yankovskaya, Head of the Urban Planning Department at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering. In her speech, she emphasized the exhibition's importance for the educational process and professional development of architecture students.

The speaker noted that Anna Denderina is the author of major monumental projects, including the design of the Gorny Institute metro station in St. Petersburg and the murals of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Chelyabinsk: "She is a very renowned artist, and I think it's important that our students see how works of monumental art are integrated into the architectural environment."

In her welcoming remarks, Anna Denderina noted that the exhibition is dedicated not only to the final result but also to the process of creative exploration: "Almost a year has passed since the opening of the Mining Institute station. Passengers see a completed artistic solution, but here I want to show the process: sketches, versions, including rejected ones. The path of a monumental artist is a long search."

The artist also emphasized the need for close collaboration between architects and monumentalists: "A monumental artist can't exist without an architect. We can't work 'for nothing.' I want to appeal to future architects: don't forget to include mosaics, stained glass, and other works of fine art in your projects. We can't do without you, and our shared future is in your hands."

During the opening, it was noted that the Faculty of Architecture's exhibition hall is becoming a platform for professional dialogue and exchange of experience not only within the university, but also between creative teams from various educational and cultural institutions.

Andrey Surovenkov, Acting Dean of the Faculty of Architecture and Head of the Department of Architectural Design, addressed the event's participants with welcoming remarks. He emphasized that modern architectural projects require an interdisciplinary approach and collaboration between specialists from various fields. "One specialist can no longer create the perfect project. We need to share experiences, collaborate, and utilize the professional and artistic potential of our colleagues," he noted.

Sergei Mikhailov, Vice-Rector for Educational Affairs at SPbGASU, also delivered a welcoming address. He noted the university's prospects for developing partnerships with external professional communities and the importance of such exhibitions for training sought-after specialists: "This interest is mutual, and we will make every effort to ensure that such collaborations yield results and serve the common goal of education and professional development."

In conclusion, Sergei Vladimirovich thanked Anna Denderina for her decision to present her work at the university and wished the exhibition's visitors vivid impressions and interesting professional interactions.
