International Summer in Peterhof: Foreign Students Discover Russia's Pearl

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

During the summer language and cultural camp, foreign students of our university went on an excursion to Peterhof, the famous residence of Russian emperors and one of the most impressive palace and park ensembles in the world. Students from nine countries took part in the trip: India, Zambia, Burundi, Kenya, Ethiopia, Angola, Guinea-Bissau, Cameroon and Cambodia.

From the first minutes of visiting the Grand Peterhof Palace, the students were immersed in the era of luxury and grandeur of the Russian Empire. They saw the state rooms decorated with gold, crystal and paintings, and also learned about the lives of the Russian tsars.

After the tour of the palace, the students went to explore the famous parks of Peterhof. In the Upper Garden, they were greeted by well-kept alleys and symmetrical fountains, and in the Lower Park, a stunning view of the Gulf of Finland and the Chess Mountain cascade. The culmination was the legendary Samson fountain, symbolizing Russia's victory in the Northern War.

But the real surprise for the participants were the famous Peterhof joke fountains! Unprepared for such a fun challenge, the students all fell under the streams of water secretly beating from under the ground. Everyone got wet, but this only added to the laughter and joy.

With friends and our teacher Elizaveta, we went on an amazing excursion to Peterhof! It was my first encounter with this amazing place. It exceeded all expectations. Our guide took us around the palace and told us its history so fascinatingly that time flew by. I really enjoyed it — the excursion was truly interesting and memorable! — shared Dos Santos Pereira Danilson from Guinea-Bissau.

This trip is not just an excursion, but part of a larger summer camp program, where students study Russian, participate in master classes, and get acquainted with Russian culture. The university continues to organize such events, strengthening international ties and creating opportunities for intercultural dialogue.

The staff of the Research Laboratory "Laser and Additive Technologies" of the Institute of Metallurgy and Metallurgy of the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University completed a key stage of R&D within the framework of the delivery of a technological complex for laser powder cladding for the LLC "UK "KER-Holding".

Engineers from the Research Laboratory "LiAT" of the Institute of Metallurgy and Metallurgy of the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University completed the practical part of the project aimed at transferring laser surfacing technologies for the restoration of gas turbine engine components, and conducted acceptance tests of the previously delivered laser powder surfacing technological complex.

The work was carried out as part of the second stage of R & D. The main objective was to implement and test laser cladding modes on two types of parts and control samples, including components made of heat-resistant nickel superalloys. The focus of the project was the restoration of the SGT-300 first-stage nozzle blades and the first-stage working blades of the Taurus 60 gas turbine engine.

All stages were accompanied by a full technological cycle: coordination of sample geometry, fluorescent testing for cracks, development of technological instructions, design and manufacture of equipment.

Mikhail Kuznetsov, Head of the Research Laboratory "LiAT" of the SPbPU Institute of Metallurgy and Metallurgy, noted: The laboratory staff successfully carried out acceptance tests of the laser cladding complex and demonstrated the applicability of the developed technologies taking into account the specifics of real production conditions. At the next stage, it is planned to equip the complex with a sealed chamber.

Long-term cooperation with UK KER-Holding LLC is one of the examples of how scientific developments of the Scientific Research Laboratory LiAT of IMMiT SPbPU find real application in industry. This is an important step towards the introduction of import-substituting technologies in the field of aviation and power engineering.

Nominal interest rates declined significantly, while the decline in yields in real terms was less pronounced due to the slowdown in current price growth. Inflation expectations of the population changed unevenly and remained elevated.

The reduction in rates in June affected almost all segments of the credit and deposit market. Bank lending conditions remained tough. Against this background, the growth of credit to the economy and the money supply was restrained. In July, according to preliminary data, the same trends were maintained in the dynamics of rates and credit activity.

Financial news: National standard of short-term liquidity for SZKO: calculation procedure

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Central Bank of Russia –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Bank of Russia has sent the Ministry of Justice for registration document, which determines the procedure for calculating the national short-term liquidity ratio for systemically important credit institutions. The NSLR will replace the Basel NSLR, which has been in effect since 2016. The new standard reflects the Russian specifics of regulation: it is calibrated based on data from domestic banks, and the composition of highly liquid assets (HLA) is determined taking into account assets circulating on the domestic market.

Among the clarifications in the methodology, there are restrictions on investments in securities to reduce the risks of asset concentration in VLA: they will be considered VLA only if the bank has no more than 30% of the issue, while the transition to this requirement will be gradual – until the end of 2027. A norm has also been added that does not allow an increase in the value of the liquidity ratio due to nostro accounts, which in reality have no turnover. In addition, the outflow rates for the Federal Treasury (after the end of the transition period from January 1, 2027, the ratio will be 45%) and individuals have been slightly reduced.

The NNCL is planned to come into force on 1 October 2025. To ensure a smooth transition, the minimum value of the new standard will be 80% in 2025, and 100% from 1 January 2026. The transition to the new standard should not cause any problems for banks: the NNCL calculation methodology gives banks an average increase of more than 25 percentage points relative to the current Basel NCL. From 1 July 2025, banks will already provide a volume of liquidity sufficient to maintain the Basel NCL without the help of an irrevocable credit line (ICL) at 60%, and by 1 January 2026 they should have increased their liquidity to maintain the Basel NCL without the ICL at a level of at least 80%.

The compliance regime for the NNCL will be flexible. SZKOs will still be able to use the BCL, but in a modified form. Banks must comply with liquidity requirements on their own, so the BCL will only cover a small volatility of the standard – it is planned that no more than 20 percentage points. The relevant orders of the Bank of Russia, establishing the parameters of the updated BCL, will be presented to the market after preparation.

A new reporting form for the Basel NCR has also been developed and discussed with banks, which is planned to be introduced in January 2026 (changes are made to Bank of Russia Instruction No. 6406-U). Until the changes are made, credit institutions will submit data on the new standard to the Bank of Russia in the reporting forms for the Basel NCR.

Financial news: Plan approved for transition of creditors to use of official information on income when lending to citizens

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Central Bank of Russia –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

When making a decision on granting a loan, banks and other creditors will use only information about the current official income of citizens. Together with the interested ministries and departments, the Bank of Russia approved the road map, defining the main stages of the transition to a new procedure for using information. To establish such an obligation for creditors last year instructedPresident of the Russian Federation.

At the same time, it was ordered to provide creditors with access to an information system that allows them to receive up-to-date official information on borrowers' income within 1 minute. The required set of information, according to the roadmap, will be available to creditors by March 2026.

With the consent of citizens, creditors will receive this information from the information systems of the Federal Tax Service of Russia and the Social Fund of Russia through the Digital Profile service, which allows financial institutions to use customer data from government information systems and provide them with services without paper documents. Market participants, agencies and the Bank of Russia have come to the conclusion that this is the most effective way to obtain up-to-date information on citizens' incomes. At the same time, it is possible to use other sources of information on the official incomes of citizens. The transition to using only information on official incomes will allow banks and other creditors to more accurately assess the income of borrowers and will help the Bank of Russia more effectively limit the risks of the debt burden of citizens.

Vladivostok, Kazan, Kaliningrad entered the top cities visited by foreigners for the summer season of 2025

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Ministry of Economic Development (Russia) – Ministry of Economic Development (Russia) –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Foreign tourists continue to actively plan summer trips to the capital of Russia: according to the online hotel and apartment booking service Ostrovok, the number of bookings in Russian accommodation facilities for the summer season of 2025 has increased by 10% compared to last summer. At the same time, Moscow remains the most popular destination among foreign guests: it accounts for every second booking from foreigners in the country.

The top 10 destinations popular with foreign tourists this summer include Moscow, St. Petersburg, Vladivostok, Kazan, Kaliningrad, Sochi, Irkutsk, Volgograd, Novosibirsk, and Nizhny Novgorod.

"Inbound tourism is an important driver of the economy. The 10% growth in bookings for the summer of 2025 shows that interest in Russia remains, and the capital remains the main magnet for foreign guests. But to maintain this momentum, we need to take into account the requests of foreign guests: transfers, excursions in their language, services adapted for different cultures. This encourages hotels and restaurants to improve their service standards, which ultimately makes the country even more competitive in the international arena. Thus, the development of inbound tourism is not only the country's image, but also a real economic benefit for the city and its residents," said Nikita Kondratyev, Director of the Department of Multilateral Economic Cooperation and Special Projects of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia.

The main flow of inbound tourism to Moscow in the summer of 2025 is formed by guests from Belarus, India, Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan, China, Turkey, Oman, the UAE, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.

Darya Kochetkova, Managing Director of the Ostrovok Group of Companies, noted: "Trips to Russia are becoming easier and more accessible for foreign tourists: for example, the visa regime with Oman was recently lifted, and direct flights to Saudi Arabia are expected to start in the fall. Improving the transport network and easing the visa regime are key factors in the growth of inbound tourism, and we expect the number of bookings from tourists from these countries to continue to grow."

The most popular hotels among foreign guests are four-star hotels: they account for more than a third of all bookings (35%). Three-star hotels (19%) and five-star hotels (15%) are also popular.

"In order to efficiently handle the growing flow of foreign tourists, it is important to understand that their requests differ from the needs of our domestic tourists. For example, among the most frequent requests from foreign guests are the organization of transfers from/to the airport, accommodation in multi-room rooms for large families, excursion services in the native language, as well as compliance of hotels with Muslim Friendly, China Friendly, India Friendly standards. This includes halal or adapted food, the presence of staff who speak foreign languages, and taking into account the cultural characteristics of guests. Knowing this, representatives of the hospitality industry should adapt their service and be ready to provide the appropriate services," commented Daria Kochetkova.
