On January 25, the feast day of the Holy Great Martyr Tatiana—the patron saint of students—the traditional celebration of Russian Student Day took place in the majestic space beneath the vaults of the Resurrection Cathedral of all educational institutions in Smolny Cathedral.

The day began with the Divine Liturgy celebrated by Metropolitan Barsanuphius of St. Petersburg and Ladoga. Representatives of the city administration, clergy, university rectors, faculty, and students, as well as military academy cadets, participated.

The Metropolitan congratulated everyone on the feast day of the Great Martyr Tatiana and Russian Students' Day. Barsanuphius emphasized: "Just as students acquire scientific knowledge in educational institutions, in church a person is introduced to the foundations of spiritual tradition. These foundations provide direction in life and help one move forward. Faith, in this sense, is like a tree's root: the stronger and deeper the root, the more resilient the tree itself and the richer its fruit."

This year's service featured, for the first time, the joint singing of choirs from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, the A. I. Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, St. Petersburg State University, and the St. Petersburg Theological Academy. The choirs sang under the direction of Smolny Cathedral choirmaster Alexander Popov.

Following the liturgy, a ceremony was held to present the Saint Tatiana Badges of Honor for their contributions to educational and social work among young people. In 2026, 46 people received the award, including students, teachers, university rectors, directors of creative groups, and priests.

Andrey Rudskoy, Rector of the Polytechnic University and Co-Chair of the Inter-University Association for the Promotion of Spiritual and Moral Education "Pokrov," and Vitaly Sergeev, First Vice-Rector of SPbPU, were awarded the "Holy Martyr Tatiana" medal for their dedication to educating young people for the good of the Church and the Fatherland.

Ivan Kolomeytsev, Associate Professor of the Higher School of Social Sciences, was awarded the St. Tatiana Badge of Honor for his significant contribution to the spiritual and moral education of youth and students, earning the "Youth Mentor" title. Anri Oganisyan, Administrator of the Youth Trajectory Center and Commander of the Polytechnic School of Social Sciences, was presented with a Certificate of Honor for his educational and social activities.

The holiday has been celebrated annually on January 25 since 2005, in accordance with a decree of the President of the Russian Federation. Historically, the Day of St. Tatiana, the patron saint of students, began to be celebrated in the 18th century by decree of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna. The spiritual center of these celebrations remains the Smolny Cathedral, founded by the Empress—the main church of the deanery of university churches in St. Petersburg.

The Saint Tatiana Badge of Honor was established in St. Petersburg in 1997. It recognizes achievements in educational and social activities among young people. Over the past 29 years, more than 1,500 people have received the award.

The Northwestern Main Administration of the Bank of Russia held the 5th Economic Universiade for students majoring in economics. Teams from ten leading universities in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region participated in the competition. Fourth-year students from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University emerged victorious.

Participants faced an ambitious and challenging task: to assume the role of a central bank for two months, making key rate decisions under conditions as close to reality as possible. Using econometric models and daily updated data, the teams managed monetary policy within a DSGE model of a small open economy, maintaining inflation at a target level of four percent. The final in-person round attracted a record-breaking 11 teams. Those who advanced demonstrated not only a deep understanding of theory but also the practical effectiveness of their solutions.

The winning SPbPU team, consisting of fourth-year students majoring in Economics and Finance and Credit Ekaterina Avramenko, Anastasia Kiba, Anastasia Korableva, and Daria Churkina, brilliantly overcame all the challenges. Advancing to the finals and securing first place required the team to demonstrate in-depth analytical modeling, strategic thinking, coordinated work, and the ability to convincingly defend their position. The students built and calibrated complex econometric models, developed a balanced approach to key rate changes that takes into account both short-term trends and long-term stability goals, and established an effective distribution of roles for continuous data analysis. In the finals, before a jury of representatives from the Bank of Russia and the academic community, the SPbPU team not only presented impeccable quantitative results but also convincingly defended their chosen strategy, demonstrating an understanding of the regulator's real-world objectives.

Our students' victory in this prestigious competition, organized by the country's main financial regulator, is a testament to the high quality of education and the relevance of the knowledge acquired at the Polytechnic University.

"Our team's victory at the Bank of Russia's Economic Universiade is a logical result of the fundamental academic training students receive at the institute and their personal determination. "The students have proven that they can not only operate complex models but also think like true financial market strategists. We are proud of their achievement and are confident that this is only the beginning of their long professional journey," commented Vladimir Shchepinin, Director of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade.

Anastasia Korableva, a participant in the Universiade, shared her impressions: "My team and I were faced with a real regulatory challenge that needed to be addressed within a limited timeframe. We had to not only build an econometric model to ensure the target was met, but also develop a theoretical justification. It wasn't easy, but thanks to our coordinated teamwork and shared passion, we were able to achieve a fantastic result!"

This year, the legendary Soviet poet, theater and film actor, singer-songwriter, and prose writer would have turned 88.

Vladimir Semenovich was born in Moscow to a military communications officer. He graduated from high school in 1955, eager to enroll in theater school. However, at the urging of his father and grandfather, he opted for a more respectable profession and enrolled at the Moscow Civil Engineering Institute. He stopped attending classes after just one semester, his love for theater outweighing both the opinions of his elders and financial difficulties. Vysotsky spent the winter and spring of 1956 living with friends, rarely being home, and in June, he entered the Moscow Art Theater School. There, he began to master the intricacies of acting under the tutelage of Boris Vershilov, Alexander Komissarov, and Pavel Massalsky. It was also during this time that he began to explore poetry and developed an interest in cinema.

Thanks to his talent, he became an idol of millions:

He wrote more than 800 poems, which became widely known. He was a leading actor at the Taganka Theatre, where he played key roles such as Hamlet, Galileo, Khlopusha, and Lopakhin. He starred in more than 25 films, his most famous roles being Gleb Zheglov (in the television series “The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed”) and roles in “Intervention,” “Master of the Taiga,” and “Two Comrades Served.”

Vladimir Vysotsky's works reflected the world of the ordinary Soviet person—with all their problems, experiences, hopes, and dreams. They revealed every facet of life: profession, hobbies, daily life, actions, and moods. His guitar and inimitable voice, which became the "voice of a generation," created a unique character. Vysotsky's war songs ("Black Pea Coats," "Song of a Fallen Friend," "We Rotate the Earth," and others) became anthems to the heroism of fallen heroes, while his genre sketches ("Dialogue in Front of the TV," "Expensive Program," "Comrade Scientists," "Police Protocol") became witty chronicles of the times.

Love poetry occupied a special place in his work ("Ballad of Love," "I Love You," "Paradise Apples"). The poems were a true confession and revelation, and love was considered an absolute value and the source of life. The poet wrote: "I breathe—and therefore I love! I love—and therefore I live!"

In honor of this remarkable man's birthday, a series of events will be held in Moscow. Here's where fans of his work can go:

On January 23, Nikolai Patrushev, Aide to the President of the Russian Federation and Chairman of the Maritime Board under the Government of the Russian Federation, held an off-site meeting at the St. Petersburg Marine Technical University with heads of government agencies and organizations on measures to train personnel for the digital transformation of shipbuilding and related industries.

In his speech, Nikolai Patrushev noted that the digital transformation of shipbuilding and related industries is a strategic priority for Russian industrial development. Digital twins, artificial intelligence, and robotics are already being used in Russian shipbuilding. Despite this, the industry's digital transformation, according to the Chairman of the Maritime Board, is progressing slowly and faces a number of challenges. Shipbuilding is experiencing an acute shortage of qualified IT specialists.

The government has actively engaged in training personnel for digital transformation through the "Professionalism" and "Engineers of the Future" programs, as well as the creation of advanced engineering schools. Particular attention is being paid to the development of specialized programs, such as "Digital Engineering in Shipbuilding," noted Nikolai Patrushev.

The meeting was attended by Igor Rudenya, Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Northwestern Federal District; Alexander Moiseyev, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy; Mikhail Kovalchuk, President of the Kurchatov Institute National Research Center; and Alexander Beglov and Alexander Drozdenko, Governors of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region. Andrey Rudskoy, Rector of the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, also delivered a report.

The staffing requirements for the digital transformation of shipbuilding were discussed. These specialists must be specialists from various fields, solving a single, complex problem. To ensure effective methodological collaboration between the developers of educational programs in these fields, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Dmitry Afanasyev proposed creating a Scientific and Methodological Council for the Digital Transformation of Industry within the Coordinating Council for Education in the Field of Engineering, Technology, and Technical Sciences, and a department for shipbuilding within the council. "I am confident that the Council can become an effective mechanism for collaboration between all parties involved in the process and will significantly strengthen synergistic efforts in training highly qualified next-generation engineers," commented Andrey Rudskoy.

Before the meeting, a ceremonial opening of the Instrumentation Technology Center took place. It will develop modern control, measurement, and laboratory instruments. The entire production cycle, from design to configuration, is supported by in-house research and technology facilities, including circuit board and housing manufacturing, mechanical processing, and assembly. The center's key objective will be training young specialists. Here, students will be able to not only master the theoretical foundations of instrumentation but also gain practical skills in real-world production conditions.

Participants at the Korabelka meeting toured the exhibition at the university's Congress Center. The exhibition, "Digital Transformation in Industry and Personnel Training," showcased the scientific achievements and developments of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and the Marine Technical University.

The Polytechnic University's stand highlighted SPbPU's role in shaping Shipbuilding 4.0/digital shipbuilding. Guests were also drawn to the SPbPU's Digital Engineering School's competencies in shipbuilding, marine engineering, and marine technology, as well as a series of projects for JSC TVEL, including the development of a digital twin. Furthermore, the Polytechnic University presented a full-scale prototype of a nuclear reactor fuel assembly anti-debris filter made of stainless, corrosion-resistant austenitic steel. In all measurable characteristics, it surpasses similar designs in Russia and worldwide.
