On October 22, 2025, the State University of Management hosted a business game, "IT – the Hands and Eyes of the Engineer of the Future," for students in grades 10-11 as part of the RosGeoTech Advanced Engineering School (AES) project at the M.D. Millionshchikov Grozny State Petroleum Technological University (GSOTU).

Before the master class, Maxim Pletnev, Head of the Scientific Research Coordination Department at the State University of Management, introduced the guests to the extensive work of the RosGeoTech Scientific School, which covers such areas as alternative energy, power engineering, oil and gas, as well as autonomous unmanned and robotic innovative systems.

Andrey Luzhetsky, head of the RosGeoTech School of Industrial and Applied Sciences, addressed the participants with a welcoming speech.

The central part of the event was a presentation by Dmitry Taldykin, a junior research fellow at the Reverse Engineering Laboratory. He vividly demonstrated how neural networks are transforming from a tool for automating routine tasks into intelligent partners capable of unlocking human potential.

"We're stopping asking AI, 'What can you do for me?' and starting asking, 'How can you help me think better, solve more complex problems, and learn faster?'" Dmitry Taldykin began his presentation.

He presented a project to the students to create a personalized learning system based on large-scale language models. The students learned how AI adapts educational content in real time to each student's cognitive style and learning speed, transforming passive information acquisition into an active dialogue.

The topic of "cognitive enhancement" was of particular interest to the audience. Dmitry Taldykin discussed the development of brain-computer interfaces that enable the use of AI to expand working memory and accelerate big data analysis. The students were able to see how neural network algorithms can be used to identify hidden patterns in scientific research and generate new hypotheses.

The scientist also discussed the role of AI in developing critical thinking. He explained the concept of "intellectual counterbalance"—when AI doesn't provide ready-made answers, but rather challenges human arguments, helping to test their strength and avoid cognitive biases.

The lecture clearly demonstrated that the future lies in the symbiosis of human and artificial intelligence. The knowledge gained motivates young researchers not to fear technology but to actively engage in its development, so that they can collaborate with machines to solve problems currently beyond the capabilities of either type of intelligence alone. The event aimed to foster a new generation of leaders prepared to collaborate with advanced technologies.

Mainland China calls for evidence of 'Taiwanese psychological warfare squad'

BEIJING, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) — The Chinese mainland welcomes the active provision of information by compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait regarding the illegal activities of 18 key members of Taiwan's "psychological warfare unit," Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said on Wednesday.

She made the statement while commenting, at the media's request, on a recent notice from the Xiamen City Public Security Bureau (Fujian Province, eastern China) offering a reward for evidence proving the illegal activities of the aforementioned group.

"We hope that compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait will actively provide relevant evidence, resolutely oppose any form of separatist actions aimed at achieving 'Taiwan independence,' and firmly adhere to safeguarding national reunification," Zhu Fenglian told reporters.

According to her, the decision of the Xiamen Municipal Public Security Bureau is a concrete measure to implement the recommendations for criminal punishment of individuals who stubbornly advocate "Taiwan independence," divide the country, or incite its split, and a just step to protect the common interests of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation.

Taiwan is part of China's territory, Zhu Fenglian noted, adding that anyone who threatens the country's sovereignty, security, and development interests will certainly be punished in accordance with state laws.

Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration is manipulating the "psychological warfare unit" to smear and attack the mainland, spread false ideas about "Taiwan independence," and incite secession, Zhu Fenglian said, stressing that "the facts are clear and the evidence is undeniable."

Recently, mainland Chinese media accused five Taiwanese companies of supporting Taiwan's "psychological warfare unit," prompting the DPP administration to claim that "the mainland is trying to intimidate Taiwanese companies."

In response, Zhu Fenglian said that legally curbing such illegal activities in mainland China is a fair and necessary step to ensure national security and protect the legitimate rights and interests of people and enterprises. -0-

BEIJING, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) — State Council Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Zhu Fenglian expressed strong opposition to U.S. arms sales to Taiwan at a press conference Wednesday.

Zhu Fenglian made the statement while commenting at the media's request on reports that the United States may sell Taiwan a record amount of weapons next year.

"We have always clearly and resolutely opposed the sale of American weapons to the Chinese region of Taiwan," Zhu Fenglian said.

She emphasized that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration had squandered funds that could have been used to improve living conditions on the island in order to curry favor with outside powers. This, she said, could only bring dire hardship to Taiwan's compatriots.

She reiterated that the Taiwan issue is an exclusively internal matter for China and does not allow for external interference.

She criticized some people in the US for using Taiwan as a pawn for their political and economic interests and called on the US to adhere to the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiqués. -0-

October 21, 2025 The visitor center as a point of attraction in the protected area

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Preserved Embassy Foundation

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The visitor center is the entry point for everyone visiting a protected area for the first time. It is equally important for local residents. How were the needs of key visitor groups considered when creating the new visitor center at Smolenskoye Poozerie National Park in the village of Przhevalskoye? Natalia Butorina, an expert with the Zapovedniki Ecocenter and the Zapovednoye Polostvo Foundation, who participated in the visitor center's design, answers the question.

Visitor centers of specially protected natural areas (SPNAs) are multifunctional complexes. Their primary goals are to visually present the natural and historical attractions of the SPNAs, direct visitor flows, and provide up-to-date information and recreational services.

In Smolenskoye Poozerie National Park, almost all educational trails are connected to the recreational hub around the village of Przhevalskoye. Therefore, the optimal location for the new visitor center was chosen at the entrance to the village—convenient for tourists and within walking distance for locals.

When developing the concept for the visitor center building, a special questionnaire was used to collect data on the needs of future visitors. This helped the architects design the three-module building complex and develop a development plan for the adjacent area. The central module is being constructed as a welcoming guest area, housing an information center, a workshop space, an office for staff, a cloakroom, and restrooms. To the right of the main entrance is a large exhibition hall, "The Heritage of Smolensk Poozerie." A separate section of the visitor center building is a multifunctional hall accommodating up to 100 people for various educational events, with video and audio capabilities.

The new visitor center's infrastructure will significantly expand the range of annual environmental education events at the national park. These will include introductory tours of the exhibits, game programs, creative competitions, and temporary exhibitions, as well as events such as nature conservation festivals and environmental education campaigns. The visitor center's multifaceted activities are aimed at promoting the values of Smolenskoye Poozerie Park, increasing public support, and developing visitors' environmental awareness.

The visitor center, as a focal point for visitors to Smolenskoye Poozerie, is focused on introducing them to the national park's tourism opportunities in various formats: one-day and multi-day tours, volunteering, recreation at tourist centers and in private accommodation, and participation in events. One of the key indicators of success will be tourists' desire to return to Poozerie or recommend the tour to their friends.

For local residents, the visitor center offers a new opportunity for engaging leisure activities and expanding their horizons in the familiar places of the Demidovsky District. Themed excursions and workshops, game programs for children and families, creative competitions, and club and hobby groups are just a few of the opportunities available. Visitor centers typically serve as the basis for Friends of Protected Areas clubs, which coordinate community engagement programs. Thus, the visitor center in Przhevalskoye has the potential to become a "third place" (a place for leisure and recreation, as sociologist Ray Olbendurg calls it) for local residents—an interesting place to spend their free time outside of work or school.

The new visitor center will also foster local economic growth through partnerships between residents and the national park. This will include new jobs, opportunities to sell souvenirs, and the promotion of private initiatives to create recreational services for tourists.

The active work of the visitor center creates a multiplier effect that draws new partners of the national park into sustainable long-term cooperation.

*The visitor center is one of the stages of a joint project between the Zapovednoye Posledstvo Foundation and the Smolenskoye Poozerie National Park, implemented with the support of JTI Russia.
