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

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

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.

UNITED NATIONS, Aug. 13 (Xinhua) — Health authorities in Gaza said five people died of malnutrition and starvation in the past 24 hours, bringing the death toll to 227, U.N. Secretary-General's spokesman Stephane Dujarric said at a daily briefing on Tuesday.

He said 103 children had died of malnutrition in Gaza since October 2023, and the World Food Programme warned that hunger and malnutrition in Gaza had reached their highest levels since the conflict began that month.

Against this backdrop, humanitarian supplies to Gaza remain well below the minimum levels required to meet the needs of the population, he said, adding that “humanitarian deliveries continue to face significant delays and other obstacles that prevent the UN from delivering the assistance it needs.”

On Monday, the UN asked Israeli authorities to coordinate 16 missions, including collecting food, medicine and fuel, but only four were carried out and three were rejected. Another four were hampered but eventually completed, Dujarric said.

Of the remaining five missions, two were cancelled by the relevant organisations, two more were hampered and could not be completed, and one was hampered but work on it continues, he said.

The spokesman added that “efforts to coordinate humanitarian shipments are often delayed for hours due to unpredictable approvals from Israeli authorities, resulting in a loss of precious time.” –0–
