"We have a strong intake of students on the budget, and I hope that the newly minted students will become highly qualified specialists and will be able to achieve success in professional skills championships with the help of our teachers. I would like to thank everyone involved in the work of the Admissions Committee and especially the responsible secretary Elena Pavlova for the work done."

St. Petersburg scientists have proposed a new antiviral drug

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Scientists from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, together with colleagues from the A. A. Smorodintsev Research Institute of Influenza of the Russian Ministry of Health, have obtained recombinant interferon-lambda, known as type 3 interferon, in laboratory conditions. It protects humans from viral infections and at the same time has a number of advantages over type 1 and type 2 interferons. About this reports RIA Novosti.

Interferons are proteins that are produced in response to viral invasion and prevent their reproduction. Lambda interferons act locally, mainly on the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract, without causing excessive activation of the immune system and serious side effects characteristic of alpha interferons.

According to experts, experiments have shown the effectiveness of the new drug not only for prevention, but also for treatment at an early stage of the disease, as well as for secondary infections.

At the same time, scientists warn that in the acute phase of the disease, interferons, especially the first type, should be used with caution.

The research team plans to create a drug in the form of nasal drops or spray.

Students of the Institute of Secondary Vocational Education of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University showed excellent results at the interregional stage of the Professionals professional skills championship in two competencies.

Veliky Novgorod hosted competitions in the "Design and Manufacturing of Prostheses and Orthoses" competency, in which representatives from 12 regions of Russia took part. The contestants completed complex tasks: scanned and created 3D models, assembled the mechanical part of the prosthesis, connected it to the control controller and programmed the system.

ISPO student Violetta Molodtsova won a gold medal, confirming the highest level of preparation.

This stage allowed me to assess my weaknesses and became a challenge. It was necessary to bring the task to an ideal result. Now I have time to prepare, to correct the shortcomings and show an even higher level in the final, – Violetta shared.

Expert mentor Daria Bolotnova noted that the programming module turned out to be the most difficult, which, however, is the team's strong point. Now the main task is to strengthen the other areas in order to compete worthily at the final in Kaluga.

Earlier, Kaluga also hosted competitions in the "Automation of Business Processes of Organizations" competency, where St. Petersburg was represented by the SPbPU team – student Polina Pavlova, expert mentor Lyubov Shavrova and coach Alexander Shavrov. Over the course of several days, Polina demonstrated professional skills in designing, programming and supporting information systems. The jury paid special attention to understanding the automated business processes, including accounting, analysis, planning and control. As a result, Polina entered the top 15 best and was awarded a medallion for professionalism.

From August 25 to 30, the final of the Professionals championship will be held in Kaluga at the Federal Technopark of Professional Education. More than 230 finalists will take part in it, including college students, schoolchildren from 14 years old and young specialists, as well as more than 250 experts, including representatives of leading employers.

Financial news: Facts of illegal use of insider information in transactions with shares of PJSC Ashinsky Metallurgical Plant have been established (08/14/2025)

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Central Bank of Russia –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

During the inspection, the Bank of Russia established facts of illegal use of insider information by Mikhail Vladimirovich Papkin when conducting transactions with ordinary shares of PJSC Ashinsky Metallurgical Plant (hereinafter referred to as the Shares, the Company).

On 12.08.2024, the decision of the Board of Directors of the Company to recommend to the General Meeting of Shareholders the payment of dividends in the amount of 77 rubles per Share from the net profit received based on the results of the first half of 2024 and the retained earnings of previous years was published on the website of the Central Research and Development Company 1 of the Interfax agency. This information was insider information of the Company.

Considering that dividends on the Shares had not been paid for over 20 years, this news provoked a sharp increase in the value of the Shares, in connection with which a discrete auction was held on the Shares on 12.08.2024.

Papkin M.V., being an insider and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, participated in a meeting of the Board of Directors on 09.08.2024, at which issues of convening an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders and the amount of dividends were considered. On the day of the meeting, he made a series of transactions to purchase Shares. After the disclosure of insider information on the decision to recommend the payment of dividends on 12.08.2024, Papkin M.V. made a series of transactions from 13.08.2024 to 19.08.2024 to sell the acquired volume of Shares at a price significantly exceeding the purchase price, making a profit.

Thus, it was established that Papkin M.V. unlawfully used the Company’s insider information, in connection with which his actions were qualified by the Bank of Russia as a violation of the prohibition established by paragraph 1 of part 1 of article 6 of Federal Law No. 224-FZ.

Papkin M.V. was brought to administrative responsibility for the illegal use of insider information, and he was given an order to prevent similar violations in the future.

In addition, the Bank of Russia sent instructions to professional participants in the securities market and trade organizers to suspend operations on the brokerage accounts of M.V. Papkin.

The Bank of Russia draws attention to the inadmissibility of the unlawful use of insider information when making transactions by insiders of the issuer, as well as the need for issuers and other legal entities specified in Part 1 of Article 11 of Federal Law No. 224-FZ to properly fulfill their obligations in terms of taking measures to prevent, identify and suppress the unlawful use of insider information, including ensuring its protection and confidentiality.
