"Believe in Miracles": Volunteer Rescuers in New Year's Costumes Bring Joy to Young Patients

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On New Year's Eve, the annual winter campaign "Believe in Miracles" took place in the capital. Volunteer rescuers, dressed as Father Frost and Snow Maiden, descended from the roof of the Z.A. Bashlyaeva Children's City Clinical Hospital (DGKB) and brought moments of joy and hope to over 600 young patients. After an interactive session, dressed as fairytale characters, they visited the children in their wards and presented them with New Year's gifts.

"The 'Believe in Miracles' campaign is a union of professionalism, genuine kindness, and mutual support. The descent of volunteer rescuers dressed as wizards from the rooftop became more than just a performance for the children; it was an opportunity to experience moments of genuine happiness and faith that a whole world of wonder, discovery, and joy awaits outside the window. As part of the campaign, we will also donate gift sets for playrooms and volunteering resources for children of all ages to the city's hospitals," she said.

Ekaterina Dragunova, Chairman of the Committee for Public Relations and Youth Policy of the City of Moscow.

The organizers of the “Believe in a Miracle” campaign are the Mosvolonter resource center with the support of the capital Committee on Public Relations and Youth Policy, Moscow city branch of the "All-Russian Student Rescue Corps" and the youth council underMoscow Department of Healthcare.

The Z.A. Bashlyaeva Children's City Clinical Hospital prepared a theatrical performance featuring fairy-tale characters and a show program featuring artists, magicians, and animators.

"Children and adults at our hospital eagerly awaited this year's charity event. The delight and happiness in the children's eyes inspire parents, doctors, and nurses. Every year, we express our gratitude to the organizers for this opportunity and this wonderful tradition. The intense emotions from the rescue volunteers' descent and the colorful performance give us hope for a speedy recovery for our little patients," shared Ismail Osmanov, Chief Physician of the Z.A. Bashlyaeva Children's City Clinical Hospital, Moscow's Chief Pediatrician, and Professor.

How a holiday is created

Visits from wizards require special training. Volunteer rescuers underwent mandatory training, learned safety rules, and checked the functionality of rooftop equipment (fastenings and safety systems). If the building's structure prevented descent, aerial platforms were deployed, delivering the fairytale characters directly to the windows of the wards.

Following this magical appearance, an interactive performance was held for the children. Young viewers took part in a performance featuring their favorite characters, enjoyed magic tricks, and enjoyed a bubble show. The program was filled with songs, fun games, and mutual congratulations.

Each child received a bright gift, including educational games, craft kits, and other surprises. For those patients whose health prevented them from joining in the fun, gifts and warm wishes were delivered directly to their rooms by animators and medical staff.

Rescuers-magicians

For all volunteers of the Moscow City Branch of the All-Russian Student Rescue Corps, participation in this campaign is an important mission, an opportunity to contribute to a good cause, bring joy to children, and help them believe in miracles.

Emma Vorobyova, a student at Moscow State Pedagogical University, has been participating in the campaign for three years. During this time, she's tried on costumes as Snegurochka and characters from Soviet fairy tales. Emma recounted how she was once climbing down from a roof dressed as Carlson, peering through the window and saying to a child, "Hello! Remember when I flew away, but promised to come back? Little one, is that you?" The child replied, "Yes!" and smiled broadly. Emma says she almost burst into tears at that moment. She believes people should be there for each other, and if someone is forced to celebrate New Year's in the hospital, and there's any way to bring joy to children in such a situation, then it's essential. They should have a lot of happiness in their lives.

Valery Novikov, a student at the Moscow Pedagogical College, has been visiting children as the main winter wizard for three years. He noted that preparing for the descent is a labor-intensive process that requires specialized skills and a lot of training. Valery says the children's reactions are always genuine: the little ones are delighted, and the older kids, although they may be shy, are still very happy. For him, the "Believe in Miracles" campaign has a deeply personal meaning: it has become a symbol of the holiday. Valery recalls being hospitalized without his parents as a child. "If Father Frost had appeared in the window, I would have been very happy and would have definitely believed in miracles!" he added.

Giving a child undergoing treatment faith in miracles and a festive spirit is one of the most important tasks of volunteers before the upcoming New Year.

Organizing volunteer activities and engaging young people in city events is in line with the objectives of the national project. Youth and Children and the federal project We are togetherMore information about national projects and the capital's contribution can be found atspecial page.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

In December, the Belarusian-Russian University (BRU) hosted four delegations from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. These visits, part of joint educational and research projects, covered key technological areas: cyber-physical systems, welding technologies, intelligent transportation, and modern construction technologies. Each meeting had a rich program and yielded concrete results, strengthening the strategic partnership between the two universities.

As part of the joint work, representatives of the SPbPU Graduate School of Cyber-Physical Systems Management, Associate Professor Vyacheslav Potekhin and Senior Lecturer Elena Selivanova, visited the partner university. An international professional retraining program, "Models and Tools for Enterprise Digital Transformation," was agreed upon and prepared for launch for the first cohort of BRU students, who will begin their studies in March 2026. A joint scientific seminar was also held, featuring faculty and young scientists from both universities, where five papers were presented. Vyacheslav Potekhin conducted lectures and practical classes for BRU students on the topic of "Cyber-Physical Systems and Technologies," including work on a real case. Joint work continued on the online bachelor's degree program, "Artificial Intelligence in Technical Systems," which is already attended by 25 students, and a new online program, "Digital Platforms of Cyber-Physical Systems," offering two qualifications, is ready to launch in 2026.

Representatives from two leading schools of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials, and Transport (IMMT) of SPbPU also visited the Belarusian-Russian University: the Higher School of Materials Physics and Technology and the Higher School of Transport.

Professor Sergey Parshin and Associate Professor Irina Ivanova (Higher School of Materials Physics and Technology) held lectures on "Modern Welding Technologies" and "Theory of Welding Processes" for students of the Welding Equipment and Technology Department at BRU. Their colleagues from the Polytechnic University also held working meetings with Artur Koroteyev, Head of the Welding Equipment and Technology Department, and his team. They discussed the implementation of joint educational programs in 2026, applied research, the preparation of joint scientific and educational publications, and the academic mobility of students and faculty. As a member of the Dissertation Council at the Belarusian-Russian University, Sergey Parshin participated in the defense of his PhD thesis in "Welding, Related Processes, and Technologies."

The delegation from the Higher School of Transport included Director Alexey Grachev, Associate Professor Sergey Nikitin, and graduate student Maxim Pichugin. The visit included a series of lectures on intelligent transport systems, where modern methods of traffic management were discussed using the example of St. Petersburg. During working meetings with colleagues from BRU, in particular with Igor Leskovets, Head of the Department of Transport and Technological Machines, issues of improving educational programs, creating joint online courses, and integrating artificial intelligence into the educational process were discussed. An important practical outcome was the development of an exchange roadmap: internships at the Polytechnic University on digital technologies and AI are planned for BRU faculty, and short-term continuing education modules are planned for students. For graduate student Maxim Pichugin, the trip was an opportunity to establish initial scientific contacts and explore educational practices. The visit concluded with a tour of the practice-oriented "Industry 4.0" center, where the guests assessed the potential for implementing similar methods in joint programs.

Another significant event was the research internship of SPbPU Higher School of Hydrotechnical and Energy Cooperation (HSEC) staff members—Associate Professor Mikhail Romanov and Senior Lecturer Vyacheslav Zhazhkov. The internship focused on studying advanced non-destructive testing methods for buildings and structures, including ultrasonic, radiographic, and thermal imaging diagnostics. Upon completion of the training, the participants received certificates from Natalia Vologina, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs at BRU.

During the visit, a ceremony was held at which 39 employees of the BRU Faculty of Civil Engineering received certificates of advanced training in emission decarbonization and BIM modeling programs, implemented with the support of SPbPU.

At the final working meeting of the leadership of the SPbPU Institute of Industrial Engineering and the Faculty of Civil Engineering at BRU, promising areas of cooperation for 2026 were outlined. The most significant of these were the development of documentation for the launch of a joint network bachelor's degree program in "Technosphere Safety" in 2027 and the creation of a joint educational laboratory on BIM technologies.

A series of December visits by SPbPU delegations to the Belarusian-Russian University clearly demonstrated the high dynamism and practical focus of the strategic partnership. Having moved from general agreements to implementation, the universities are successfully launching new educational programs, organizing internships, conducting joint research events, and planning the creation of a common educational infrastructure. This multifaceted collaboration creates a solid foundation for the development of a unified scientific and educational space and the training of highly qualified personnel capable of addressing pressing technological challenges facing the economies of Russia and Belarus.

Students celebrated the first director of the Polytechnic University, Andrei Gagarin, with music.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On the 170th anniversary of the birth of Prince Andrei Grigorievich Gagarin, the first director of the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute, Polytechnic students—members of the Polyhymnia Youth Choir and the Chamber Choir—performed a large celebratory concert. It was Prince Gagarin who laid the foundation for the comprehensive education of Polytechnic students and assigned music a key role in this.

The first director of the Polytechnic Institute was a unique individual—he harmoniously combined a passion for engineering with a strong fascination with music. The first music club, the first student orchestra, and the first choir are all thanks to Andrei Grigorievich. From the institute's inception, the Assembly Hall (now the White Hall) became a functioning concert venue for student and professional groups.

Today, SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy and Director of the Directorate of Cultural Programs and Youth Creativity Boris Kondin continue the tradition of nurturing students in music and creativity. This is evidenced by the growing popularity of the student orchestra and choral groups, and the successful development of the White Hall, which has remained true to its artistic vision for 20 consecutive seasons.

The concert in the White Hall on December 22nd reflected this commitment to tradition. Valery Klimov, Director of the SPbPU History Museum, shared important facts from the life of Andrei Gagarin, the institute's first director. He explained that he was a descendant of an ancient noble family, that he was baptized in the church at the Winter Palace, and that his godparents were Emperor Alexander II and the Dowager Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, and that December 22nd is both the date of his birth and the date of his death.

"An entire moment between December 22, 1855, and December 22, 1920, an entire life," noted Valery Klimov. "And let the epitaph on Prince Andrei Grigorievich's tombstone be his message to posterity: 'Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.'"

The Polyhymnia Youth Choir performed the reflective song "There Is Only a Moment" with solo trumpet. This number was no accident in the concert program, especially since Andrei Grigoryevich Gagarin was a master cornet player.

The program featured the most cheerful music—the best compositions from choir repertoires, songs from films, and favorite New Year's hits that the entire audience sang.

The concert concluded with the anthem of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, performed by all participants. 60 voices sang the university's praises: "Pride of Russia, inspired by Peter, glory through the centuries, dear Polytechnic!"

The Moscow Youth project has compiled a guide to winter sports venues in the city.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Ambassadors of the "Youth of Moscow" project have compiled a list of places in Moscow where sports enthusiasts can exercise even in winter. Guinness World Record holder and International Master of Sports of Russia in freediving, Olga Markina, spoke about the importance of an active lifestyle during the cold season and compiled her top sports spots in the Russian capital.

Advice from a professional athlete

Olga Markina noted Moscow's well-developed infrastructure. Having traveled abroad many times, she noted that other cities should emulate the capital's experience, as Moscow's infrastructure is exceptionally high. She noted that the city's large parks, skating rinks, and well-maintained ski trails are the main reason Muscovites continue to engage in sports during the winter.

In December, Olga spoke at an open dialogue with young Moscow residents at the "Youth of Moscow" multi-format space on Kholodilny Lane. The athlete shared her journey to freediving and advice on choosing a career and overcoming the fear of uncertainty.

The record holder emphasized that the most important thing in exercise is not intensity, but consistency and enjoyment. It's better to choose a form of exercise that brings joy and relaxation rather than chasing results. Then, movement becomes a way of life. Big cities typically lack fresh air. However, Olga Markina found places in Moscow where fresh air is available and where you can take a break from the hustle and bustle.

"I breathe best in the forest. That's why, even in a huge city like Moscow, I choose large parks for walks—Serebryany Bor, Losiny Ostrov, Filevsky Park, or the Botanical Garden. The air there is truly fresh. And any long, active walk, complete with games and interaction with loved ones or pets, is a great way to relieve stress and get the physical exercise our bodies need," Olga shared.

The athlete noted that the Moscow winter is helping her prepare for setting a world record for ice diving on Lake Baikal in March. To toughen up, she douses herself with cold water, takes cold showers, takes frequent walks with her dog, and looks for a place to swim in the winter. Moscow offers all the necessary conditions: there are designated winter swimming areas and specialized clubs.

Students' Choice

The "Youth of Moscow" project ambassadors also confirmed that parks offer plenty of opportunities for exercise. For example, Anastasia Evdokimova, a student at the Moscow City University of Management and the Moscow Government, chose Gorky Park as her favorite, as she offers winter equipment rentals, skiing and skating, and a workout area. She also noted that the best walking routes are in Sokolniki and Izmailovsky Parks, but the most scenic one is in Tsaritsyno Park—a trail running along the palace and ponds.

For running enthusiasts, Anastasia recommends visiting the Luzhniki Olympic Complex and Dynamo Stadium with their rubber tracks, or the central alley in the Muzeon Arts Park, which also has a sports field. Beginner figure skaters can try the skating rink in Gorky Park, which offers private lessons. Furthermore, a new inline skating rink opened this winter at the Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve, covering a 1.7-kilometer route.

According to Anastasia, the skating rink in Gorky Park is one of the most romantic, with a festive atmosphere created by the evening lights and music. And the skating rink at the Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve isn't just located in a historic location—it offers skating along the picturesque embankment of the Moskva River.

Yegor Kvasnikov, a student at the Academy of the State Fire Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia and an ambassador for the "Youth of Moscow" project, recommends Sokolniki Park for winter sports. The "Led" skating rink is open daily, and speed skating classes are held there on Thursdays from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM. The park also has three hockey rinks.

Zaryadye Park and the Moskva River embankment are ideal for winter jogging, while two eco-trails on Vorobyovy Gory, approximately 1.5 kilometers long, are ideal for walking. The first route begins at the southern exit of the Vorobyovy Gory metro station, and the second at Andreyevskaya Embankment. Extreme sports enthusiasts can enjoy the Vorobyovy Gory sports complex, which boasts four ski slopes, three ski jumps, a snow park (an area for skiers and snowboarders equipped with special tricks), seven ski lifts, and a ski school. From there, a cable car takes you to the Luzhniki Olympic Complex.

"Luzhniki is one of the largest sports centers in Moscow. Even in winter, you can run on the stadium's indoor tracks, visit fitness clubs, a swimming pool, tennis courts, and an ice rink with artificial ice. Thus, the complex combines virtually all types of activities in one place," Yegor emphasized.

Direction Moscow Youth. Sports Provides opportunities for a healthy lifestyle and invites young city residents to competitions in various sports and meetings with famous athletes. Throughout the year, the "University League" sports and intellectual game is held, featuring student teams from Moscow universities. With the support of football clubs, meetings and master classes with famous players, sporting events, and a football league for amateur teams are organized.

Moscow is a city of youth. The capital offers ample opportunities for youth development, creative self-expression, comfortable living, and engaging leisure activities. It boasts a well-developed infrastructure and hosts thousands of events of varying scale and scope.

Even more opportunities for young Muscovites can be found on the portal Youth of Moscow and project pages in social networks.
