The Great Voyage of the Argo: Archaeologists from the Polytechnic University Search for the Treasures of the Khazar Khaganate

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The student archaeological team "Argo" went to the Samara region for the work season to work as volunteers in the "Ancient World" archaeological park near the village of Kamenny Brod and to take part in the Middle Volga archaeological expedition in the village of Vlast Truda.

As a rule, archaeological teams are engaged in excavations, but in the "Ancient World" the Argonauts had other tasks: landscaping the territory, restoring the historical complex after a fire, making bricks, cutting down trees for sanitary purposes, building a Botai dwelling and providing various types of assistance to museum staff.

The second place of work – the Middle Volga AE – has already become a habit: here the guys, armed with shovels and scrapers, are engaged in the search for artifacts from the times of the Khazar Khaganate.

And in their free time, students participate in master classes on clay modeling, fabric stamping, fight with training swords, and interact with domestic animals. They also enrich their geographical horizons – they visited Samara and Novokuibyshevsk, visited local attractions and an aquatic center.

"This is my first year in the squad movement and my first archaeological season. I was very worried the whole time, and especially after receiving the tickets in my hands – I'm definitely going, this will definitely happen, and the main thing is not to chicken out," shared Polina Yashchenko, candidate of the SAO "Argo". – As it turned out, my worries were mostly in vain. I only forgot my headlamp, thanks to which I could admire the stars all night long. We went to Samara to first work in the "Ancient World" archaeological center, where we helped create Neolithic buildings and arrange the territory for visitors. Then we had excavations – I was terribly afraid that it would be difficult to work with a shovel if I was not used to it, but the squad helped me cope with this."

Happy birthday to Vladimir Stroev!

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

A birthday is always a pleasant holiday for the hero of the occasion and for those congratulating. And today for the State University of Management there is a special reason for jubilation – the birthday of the rector, member of the Expert Council on Education and Youth Policy under the Deputy Chairman of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation B.A. Chernyshov, member of the RAS Committee on the United Nations Environment Program, member of the Presidium of the International Movement for Financial Security, laureate of the Russian Government Prize in the field of education, Doctor of Economics, Professor Vladimir Stroyev!

As you can see, every year our rector has more and more appointments, which means more tasks: meetings, conferences, discussions, forums and other business activities. Sometimes there are two or three events a day, and it is not always possible to keep track. This is not only an exhausting job, it is also a burden of responsibility for the words spoken and proposals put forward. It is all the more pleasant to constantly see Vladimir Vitalievich active, collected and in an invariably good mood. His activities give us all a good example of hard work and bring confidence in the future.

And this tomorrow, thanks to the rector's concerns, looks very bright. Scientific laboratories are opening, another student dormitory building is being built, utilities are being repaired, and the security system is being updated. New educational programs are appearing, including in partnership with large industrial enterprises and business corporations, foreign internships are being conducted, and all-Russian competitions are being held. I would especially like to note the changes in the image of the State University of Management, which is turning from a purely managerial and humanitarian university into a center of industry and scientific and technical competencies before our eyes, surprising the expert community with its achievements. Of course, all this would be impossible without a strong team of assistants in the form of vice-rectors, talented young scientists, and goal-oriented students, but the role of the leader should not be forgotten.

Let us wish Vladimir Vitalievich to remain as active, benevolent and far-sighted; hard-working, hospitable and decisive. And even if his birthday is only once a year, the feeling of celebration can be daily, especially when you work at the State University of Management. Happiness, health and fulfillment of all dreams!

Financial news: Derivatives trading volume on Moscow Exchange during first weekend amounted to 46 billion rubles

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Moscow Exchange – Moscow Exchange –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On August 16 and 17, 2025, weekend trading started on the Moscow Exchange futures market.

The volume of derivatives transactions during the first trading weekend amounted to 46 billion rubles, which was 17% of the trading volume during the main session on August 15. Almost 27 thousand clients performed more than 178 thousand transactions with derivatives.

The share of individuals in the total volume of derivatives trading was 78%.

The largest trading volume was recorded in transactions with futures contracts on the Moscow Exchange Index (including perpetual and mini-futures), on the RTS Index, on shares of Sberbank, Gazprom, as well as with futures on natural gas Henry Hub, gold and Brent oil.

The trading was attended by 26 professional participants, including the largest Russian brokers and banks, whose share on weekdays accounts for an average of 85% of the trading turnover on the futures market.

Maria Patrikeeva, Managing Director of the Derivatives Market at Moscow Exchange:

“Events that affect the financial market happen every day, and trend directions can reverse at any moment. That is why it is so important for investors to be able to open and adjust their positions not only on weekdays, but also on weekends. For participants in the futures market – due to its high volatility – the availability of trading on Saturdays and Sundays is doubly important, and the level of investor activity last weekend confirmed this. We will continue to expand the capabilities of our clients in order to provide them with maximum flexibility in making investment decisions.”

Weekend trading on the derivatives market was held in sync with the additional weekend trading session on the stock market. By coordinating trading on the markets, investors can manage risks more effectively by using futures and options to hedge their stock positions. In addition, access to derivatives on weekends allows for more active implementation of arbitrage strategies.

Weekend trading on the futures market takes place from 09:50 to 19:00 (09:50–10:00 – opening auction, 10:00–19:00 – trading period) and is conducted as part of an additional weekend session, which is part of the trading day following the weekend.

Investors can trade all futures and calendar spreads in all trading modes, with the exception of currency contracts. Options trading is available only in the address mode. Liquidity in trading is maintained by market makers.

To reduce volatility risks and ensure liquidity, price limits for each group of instruments (indices, shares, commodities) are narrowed relative to the price limits determined during the evening clearing session of the previous business day and do not change. Changes in risk parameters or parameters of traded instruments during weekend trading are not envisaged.

Moscow Exchange Urgent Market – the leading platform for trading derivative financial instruments in Russia and Eastern Europe, which combines developed infrastructure, reliability and guarantees, as well as the most modern technologies for trading futures and options. Today, the derivatives market of the Moscow Exchange trades 41 stock options, 3 currency options, a gold option, an index option, over 150 futures contracts and options on them, the underlying assets of which are stock indices, shares, currency pairs, precious and industrial metals, oil, gas and other goods, interest rates.
