On Saturday, October 25, 2025, first-year students from the State University of Management's Logistics and Supply Chain Management program attended an Open Day at the Corporate University of the Moscow Transport Complex and were deeply impressed.

The students were introduced to the university, told about the in-demand professions taught there, and shown the classrooms and training equipment at both sites—on Varshavskoe Shosse and Krivorozhskaya Street.

As part of the presentation of career opportunities in Moscow transport, students were addressed by Ekaterina Sukhova, Director of the Corporate University of the Transport Complex; Daria Rogovskaya, First Deputy Director and Head of the Unified Center for the Organization of Professional Training and Continuing Education; and Olga Novikova, Head of the Unified Center for the Development of Youth Projects and Social Initiatives.

Students learned about professions, internships and practical training, targeted training, and benefits packages for Moscow transport employees.

As part of the excursion program, students visited the Corporate University training center, learned about the facilities, and practiced on simulators.

The Moscow Transport Complex Corporate University was established in 2021. It encompasses the entire training chain, from career guidance for schoolchildren through vocational training to the development of a talent pool for management positions. This experience, along with all successful training practices, has now been scaled up, creating a unified training system for Moscow's transport sector—the metro, trams, and buses. Educational institutions within Moscow's transport sector have united to develop the best approaches and unified high standards—to develop professional personnel for the capital's transport sector.

Students and staff from the Institute of Marketing at the State University of Management visited the Museum of Heroism at VDNKh, whose exhibition is dedicated to participants in past and present battles.

Third- and fourth-year students majoring in Advertising and Public Relations went on the excursion under the guidance of faculty members: Valery Dovzhik, Deputy Director for Educational Work at the Institute of Management, Galina Dovzhik, Deputy Head of the Advertising and Public Relations Department, Alexandra Timokhovich, Associate Professor of the Advertising and Public Relations Department, and Olga Vasilyeva, Senior Lecturer in the same department.

The museum's three exhibition halls—the Hall of Military Glory, the Hall of Thematic Locations, and the "Warrior's Path" hall—house more than 600 exhibits, including those related to the events of the special military operation.

In the Hall of Military Glory, a recording of the 1945 Victory Parade on Red Square was broadcast on giant interactive screens, accompanied by the voice of the Soviet Union's chief announcer, Yuri Levitan.

In the hall of themed locations, students immersed themselves in the atmosphere of modern frontline life and learned about the exploits of military pilots, marines, artillerymen, and sappers.

The "Warrior's Path" memorial hall presents information about the unique operations of special forces: operations underwater, in the mountains, and in the air.

Students were able to explore the historical chronicle through interactive sets, glass dioramas, and digital screens, creating the effect of complete immersion in military events over the years.

After exploring themed locations and learning about the stories of the heroes of the Great Patriotic War, the students gained a unique immersive experience in a multimedia space, learned about the military potential of their homeland, strengthened their patriotic consciousness, and shared their impressions with us.

Vlada Sudakova (fourth-year student in the "RISSO in Business" program): "In the center of the main hall of the Heroism Museum is a 1:35 scale model of the military action, accurately depicting the terrain and military equipment. Nearby are military personnel's belongings: chevrons, uniforms, and helmets. These are not just paraphernalia, but artifacts of historical memory, capturing the human element in the chronicle of war."

Anna Shorokhova (fourth-year student in the "RISSO in Business" program): "The exhibition hall seemed frozen: the dimly lit figures of fighters towered, fully equipped, armed, and ready to fight to the death. The mannequins don't simply display their uniforms; they create a sense of presence, as if a battle had actually taken place here just a moment ago. On the small second floor, next to the fighters' figures, is a museum collection of weapons: assault rifles and machine guns. All the exhibits are labeled, but each one has a story too powerful to convey in just a few lines."

Tatyana Letunova (fourth-year student, RISSO in Business): "We were unexpectedly and pleasantly surprised: the exhibition display struck us with the meticulous attention to detail with which interactive elements were integrated into the locations. The Museum of Heroism truly takes an innovative approach to covering the events of the Great Patriotic War and modern armed conflicts, allowing us to understand the feelings of the defenders of the Fatherland."

On October 25, the day of the citywide cleanup, staff from the St. Petersburg Committee for Science and Higher Education, as they have for many years, came to the Polytechnic University to participate in the campus improvements.

"Our committee has been holding cleanup days on the grounds of the Polytechnic University for over twenty years," said Andrey Maksimov, chairman of the KNVSh. "And every time we're at the Polytechnic University for work, we walk by and check how our trees and shrubs are doing. Behind the NIK, we have a whole pine grove. Closer to Gidrotekhnikov Street—" red oaks"The bushes along the alley leading from the entrance are also our doing. And today we'll be planting ash trees."

In addition to the ash trees, the cleanup participants were treated to 10,000 tulip tubers—a gift from the Kirov Central Park of Culture and Recreation. Some of these were added to the floral arrangement near the Research Building, while the rest were planted near the Monument to Fallen Polytechnicians, in a flowerbed featuring a five-pointed star.

"It was the Central Park of Culture and Leisure's idea to donate 10,000 tulips to a city educational institution," explained Irina Ganus, First Deputy Chair of the KNVSh. "We were asked who we could recommend. Clearly, this is very important and necessary for the Polytechnic Park, whose history is linked to the Year of Defender of the Fatherland. I think these bright red tulips will look symbolic here and emphasize the connection between generations. When we suggested the Polytechnic, Pavel Andreevich Seleznev, Director of the Central Park of Culture and Leisure, was very pleased; after all, he himself is a graduate of this university, and his parents taught here."

"We are grateful to all our graduates who remember their alma mater, and we hope to further develop our relationship with the Central Park of Culture and Leisure," added Vladimir Glukhov, Advisor to the Rector's Office.

The flowerbed near the Monument to the Fallen Polytechnic Students was landscaped by members of the "Volunteer-Polytechnic" search and rescue team and participants in the special military operation, who are currently receiving additional education at the Polytechnic. Sergey came to the cleanup day with his family—his wife, Ekaterina, and their sons, Roman and Sasha. Incidentally, Ekaterina is taking a retraining course with her husband—the Polytechnic offers this opportunity to the families of SVO participants.

Arsen, Daniil, and Kirill served under contract and entered the first year of the Military Academy of Communications this year. They also came to participate in the cleanup and get involved in university life.

"I'm interested in getting additional education at the Polytechnic University, and I'll motivate other students," Arsen shared. "I love learning. Even planting flowers right now is a useful skill! Not everyone can handle a shovel."

The Polytechnic University consistently and systematically builds support for participants and veterans of special military operations, including through continuing education.

"I'd like to express my gratitude to the management of the Polytechnic University for the opportunity to participate in free retraining courses," says Stanislav Petrov. "Caring for war veterans and disabled veterans is important and valuable. The course's focus is very interesting; UAV systems are the future, and the training I've acquired will be useful in many fields. I'd also like to highlight the high level of organization of the educational process: a user-friendly online portal, comprehensive and engaging reference materials in an accessible format, and, crucially, given my busy work schedule and evening trips to kindergarten and activities with the children, the availability of recorded lectures on the portal, allowing me to study at my own time and, if necessary, rewatch lectures for better understanding. I'd also like to thank our instructor, Mikhail Sergeevich Zhukov, for his willingness to answer our questions, not only during lectures, but at any time."

While one group of cleanup participants was giving life to new plants, another was clearing away the foliage that had already outlived its short lifespan. There was plenty of work to do! Staff from the KNVSh and the Polytechnic were busy raking up the yellow and red leaves, filling carts with them, and packing them into bags. The workers were bolstered by the charming Pomeranian Persik, who accompanied his owner, Vladimir Gaidei, Deputy Chairman of the KNVSh.

"We love coming here, we appreciate the welcoming atmosphere, and we strive to make Polytechnic even more beautiful!" Vladimir Gaidei summed up the general sentiment.

The final of the Interethnic Student Festival "Golden Autumn 2025" took place in the White Hall of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. It brought together Russian and international students studying at universities and colleges in the city on the Neva.

28 years ago, the festival was born at the Polytechnic University, the city's largest university by number of international students. Today, "Golden Autumn" is under the auspices of the Committee for Science and Higher Education of the Government of St. Petersburg. The competition's goal, then and now, is to integrate international students into Russian culture, strengthen interethnic relations, and support talented youth.

Festival participants from 23 universities and 9 colleges, 16 countries, and 7 regions of Russia met in the White Hall to present the cultures of their people.

Dmitry Tikhonov, Vice-Rector for Continuing and Pre-University Education at SPbPU, welcomed the guests: "We are convinced that culture and creativity help students develop their competencies. That's why our university places great emphasis on developing and supporting creative teams and the spiritual and aesthetic development of students. Another key goal of culture is to unite people, creating a space for the meeting of different traditions and values. We are seeing this right now on stage!"

The festival participants presented vibrant performances, immersed the audience in the world of traditions and customs of various nations, and introduced them to the amazing beauty and diversity of their countries' cultural heritage. The audience and jury traveled to various corners of vast Russia, learned about Uyghur and Yakut cultures, and visited Mongolia, Kalmykia, Bashkiria, and the North Caucasus. They also traveled to Belarus, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Indonesia, China, Iran, and Sri Lanka.

The jury consisted of representatives from St. Petersburg's higher education institutions and national public organizations. They assessed the performances based on their vibrant national flavor, originality of execution, and artistry.

Each song told the story of an entire country. The program featured a Moldovan-language composition performed by Sabrina Lungu, a student at the St. Petersburg State University of Management and Economics (SPbSUGE) College; "Khata batskou" (My Fatherland) by Danila Staruk, a student at the S. M. Budyonny Academy of Telecommunications; and many songs about Russia. SPbPU student Fikria Shaleha demonstrated stunning vocal talent and artistry in her performance of a Malay pop song. All the judges awarded her the highest scores and first place in the festival's Vocal category.

"This was my first time performing in front of a large audience! I can't find the words to describe my emotions. But one thing I know for sure: how much I want to thank the students from Indonesia, especially from the Polytechnic University, the jury members for their trust, and the organizers for a wonderful festival. I will remember this event forever! May the next Golden Autumn inspire even more people!" Fikria shared her emotions.

Students from the St. Petersburg University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs presented a fiery Mongolian dance, while students from St. Petersburg Polytechnic University performed a traditional Indonesian dance. An Avar dance by students from the St. Petersburg Chemical-Pharmaceutical University captivated both the audience and the jury. The graceful young women were awarded first place.

"It was fascinating to watch all the festival participants and how they were able to showcase their national flavor. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, made new connections, and were incredibly happy to win first place! We thank the festival organizers and plan to return next year," noted Anna Pavlova, a member of the Improviz ensemble from St. Petersburg State University of Arts and Sciences.

The festival's third category featured performers on very unusual musical instruments. The Iranian santur, Kalmyk dombra, Tatar kurai, and other captivating instruments resounded in the White Hall. Participants performed not only the music of their own nationalities but also their own compositions. Sofya Zvereva, a student at the Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, presented a triptych for piano.

The jury highly praised the virtuosity of Reza Desaipour, a student at the St. Petersburg State Institute of Culture and the Iranian participant, whose percussion instrument, the daf, produced a magnetic sound. The result was first place in the Instrumental Music category.

The "Audience Choice Award" was won by the online voting group "Hey, Let's Go!" from Medical College No. 2, whose highly artistic and virtuoso wooden spoon player captivated everyone.

The winners and runners-up of the Golden Autumn festival received gifts from the Committee on Science and Higher Education—gold, silver, and bronze maple leaves made of stained glass, as well as certificates from the bookstore "Podpisnye Izdaniya." The festival finale concluded with a joint performance of the song "We Are the World." All participants once again proved that music makes the world a better place, that culture erases boundaries and unites peoples.

The Goluboe Ozero recreation center hosted the 27th "Student Perspective" educational seminar for first-year student leaders. This year, the event took on special significance. The SPbPU Student Trade Union is celebrating its 60th anniversary—six decades of support, development, and belief in every student. Over the years, the Trade Union has become an integral part of university life: supporting students, developing initiatives, and creating an atmosphere where everyone can express themselves.

The anniversary provided an opportunity to remember how, over six decades, PROF has become a hub for uniting generations of students—the very heart that connects the past, present, and future of the Polytechnic.

This year's slogan, "A New Light in History," brought together over 300 participants: leaders, coaches, organizers, representatives of the PROF, and student associations. Over the course of three days, the students attended training sessions, master classes, and team activities, learning to listen to and hear each other, be inspired by ideas, and work together. Each day of "Perspektiva" was filled with discoveries and emotions: educational modules, creative evenings, and team activities created an atmosphere of true unity. Ideas were born here that sparked future projects and movements at the Polytechnic University.

The seminar opened with a video message from SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy, who addressed the participants: "When I look at you, first-year students, full of energy and dreams, I remember my student years. Then, just like you today, we believed that everything was in our hands—and we were right. 'Student Perspective' is a school of leadership and friendship. It is here that teams are born that together build the future of the Polytechnic University. May this new light shine within each of you and illuminate the path for others. The nature of your light will determine what our Polytechnic University will be like tomorrow."

These words became a symbol of the beginning of the first-year students' journey—the journey of leaders capable not only of changing themselves, but also of inspiring others.

During the seminar, meetings were held with representatives of the university administration: Vladimir Glukhov, Advisor to the Rector's Office; Maxim Pasholikov, Vice Rector for Information, Youth Policy, and Security; Nadezhda Grashchenko, Head of the Directorate of Basic Educational Programs; Vyacheslav Olshevsky, Director of the Student City; and Maxim Susorov, Chairman of the PROF. Students discussed the development of youth policy, opportunities for self-fulfillment, and the future of the university community.

On the second day, a student association festival took place, where first-year students learned about the various associations at Polytechnic University: the School of Cultural Organizers, the "Adapters" Olympic Games, the Polytechnic University Student Teams, ReGreen, the Military History Club, the United Student Dormitory Council, and others. Three days of intensive work culminated in a touching closing ceremony: sparklers, laughter, songs, and a group photo on the shore of the Blue Lake. This evening became a symbol of unity and the beginning of a long journey for each participant. "Student Perspective" inspired, united, and energized a new generation of Polytechnic University leaders. Now their light is part of the university's history.
