The Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade at SPbPU welcomed participants of the career guidance project "Smolny School." It is implemented by the Committee for Civil Service and Personnel Policy of the St. Petersburg Governor's Administration. Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University traditionally serves as one of the project's key partner universities, providing participants with the opportunity to experience the modern educational environment and university infrastructure.

The Smolny School is being held for the second year in a row. It aims to foster a conscious approach among schoolchildren when choosing their future profession, as well as to promote the civil service as a promising area of professional development. Among the project's priority goals are increasing young people's interest in public administration, developing pre-professional competencies, fostering a positive attitude toward government, and attracting motivated graduates to St. Petersburg's talent pool.

Participants were welcomed by Vladimir Shchepinin, Director of the Institute of Mechanics, Economics, and Telecommunications (IPMET), who emphasized the project's importance for young people's professional self-determination and the university's role as a space for development, education, and informed career choices.

"You're great. Firstly, because you took the plunge and came to the Polytechnic University—not every schoolchild has the opportunity to participate in such an interesting and meaningful project. The Smolny School allows you to see the university from the inside, become familiar with the modern educational environment, and understand the professional paths open to young people today. I hope this visit will help you make an informed choice and become an important step toward your future profession," said Vladimir Shchepinin, Director of the Institute of Mechanics, Economics, and Technology.

Dmitry Zemskov, specialist in the Personnel Pool Assessment and Development Department of the Committee for Civil Service and Personnel Policy of the St. Petersburg Governor's Administration and organizer of the "Smolny School" project, also addressed the project participants with a welcoming address: "Today you are within the walls of the Polytechnic University—the title partner of the St. Petersburg administration, with whom we have collaborated on numerous significant projects. We sincerely thank the Polytechnic University for their fruitful collaboration and are confident of implementing new large-scale joint projects, perhaps even with you as students. By participating in the "Smolny School" project, you are already, albeit informally, becoming part of a large team of future managers ready to work for the benefit of our city."

A comprehensive program was prepared for the participants. They were given a tour of the IPMEiT building and introduced to modern lecture halls, conference rooms, and computer labs, where a practice-oriented approach to learning is implemented. The students visited the Digital Content Management Training Lab, the Qualimetry and Modeling in Quality Management Training Lab, and the Commodity Science and Consumer Goods Expertise Training Lab. Of particular interest to the guests was the Logistics Systems and Digital Solutions in Management Modeling Lab, where training is based on a business simulation.

The participants also visited the Gazprom Neft Scientific and Educational Center, created in partnership with the industry leader. The center combines educational, scientific, and project-based activities and allows students to work on applied problems in the oil and gas industry.

The program continued with an interactive workshop, "LEGO Challenge: Mind Game," led by Elena Lobova, senior lecturer at the KET, and Anton Zubarev, a student majoring in Public and Municipal Administration and alumnus of the Smolny School project. Through the game, participants developed their economic thinking, teamwork, and decision-making skills.

The event concluded with a master class from the SPbPU Business Club student association, aimed at developing entrepreneurial thinking. Participants were invited to creatively present unusual inventions, explain their merits, and answer questions from the audience.

The "Smolny School" project is an opportunity for schoolchildren and students not only to get to know the university but also to immerse themselves in its real educational and professional environment. We strive to present the Institute as it really is: vibrant, modern, focused on practice and personal development. Through tours, labs, and interactive formats, participants can better understand the skills and competencies in demand today and how the university helps develop them. It's important for us that after these meetings, students are motivated to make an informed career choice and are interested in pursuing further education at the Polytechnic University, noted Maxim Ivanov, IPMEIT Deputy Director for Promising Projects and Youth Policy.

The visits to the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade (IIMET) as part of the Smolny School project once again confirmed the Polytechnic University's status as a key platform for career guidance with motivated young people. Throughout 2026, the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade (IIMET) will continue its active participation in the project, offering participants new events and educational formats, and expanding opportunities for exploring the modern university environment and professional pathways.

It's worth noting that Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University's published Admission Rules for 2026 once again include participation in the "Smolny School" career guidance project as one of the individual achievements for which applicants receive additional points during admission. This underscores the project's significance and its practical value for those considering the Polytechnic University as their place of further study.

On February 2, our country celebrates the Day of Military Glory of Russia – the Day of the defeat of the Nazi German forces by Soviet troops in the Battle of Stalingrad.

The Battle of Stalingrad is one of the most monumental and tragic battles in human history. It lasted 200 days and nights—from July 17, 1942, to February 2, 1943—and became a turning point not only in the Great Patriotic War but also in the entire Second World War.

In the summer of 1942, the German command was pushing toward the Volga and the Caucasus. Capturing the oil regions would have meant the economic strangulation of the Soviet Union. Stalingrad was becoming the key to victory—for both the enemy and our country.

The fighting for the city was incredibly fierce. Every building, every floor, every stairwell, every basement was fought for. The Red October and Barrikady factories, along with the Stalingrad Tractor Plant, were reduced to ruins and simultaneously turned into fortresses. Soldiers lived underground, fighting for weeks, often without sleep, water, or food. The city was subjected to massive air raids. On August 23, 1942, Stalingrad was virtually wiped off the face of the earth—thousands of civilians perished in a single day. But even amidst the ruins, the struggle continued.

In the fall of 1942, the Soviet command prepared a counteroffensive codenamed "Uranus." Troops from three fronts—the Southwestern, Stalingrad, and Don—participated in the operation. They succeeded in creating a double and triple superiority of forces in key areas.

On November 19, 1942, the counteroffensive began. By November 23, the encirclement had closed. More than 300,000 Wehrmacht soldiers and officers, including Field Marshal Friedrich Paulus's 6th Army, were trapped in the "cauldron." German attempts to rescue the encircled troops failed. German aircraft dropped food and ammunition, but it was insufficient. Frost, hunger, disease, and the constant attacks of Soviet troops broke their resistance.

On January 31, 1943, the southern group of the enemy capitulated, along with Paulus himself.

On February 2, 1943, the northern group laid down its arms. The battle was over.

The enemy's losses were catastrophic:

32 divisions and 3 brigades were defeated,

about 1.5 million soldiers and officers were killed, wounded or captured,

For the first time in history, Germany experienced national mourning.

Stalingrad became a symbol of the collapse of the Nazi war machine. Following this victory, the strategic initiative forever passed to the Soviet Army. The liberation of occupied European territories began.

This date is especially important for the State University of Management.

Among the defenders of Stalingrad were our faculty, staff, graduates, and university students, who later returned and dedicated their lives to science and the education of future generations. Read more about them in our profiles. Their memories are living testimony to their courage, fortitude, and love for their homeland. They fought through fire and death so that today we can live in a free country.

Stalingrad is more than just a city. It is a symbol of how, even in the most inhumane conditions, a person can remain human. That love for one's homeland is stronger than fear and pain.
