The awards ceremony for the winners of the 9th All-Russian Literary Competition with International Participation, "Star of the Arctic — Umka," took place in Krasnoyarsk. The competition is held annually by the Royev Ruchey Zoo with the support of Rosneft.

This year, young writers aged 5 to 17 from 72 regions of Russia, including Crimea, the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, and the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia Oblasts, participated in the competition. The jury also received creative works from China, Belarus, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Cyprus. The goal of the competition is to raise awareness about the conservation of polar bears and other unique Arctic fauna.

During the collaboration between Rosneft Oil Company and the Royev Ruchey Park, the competition's popularity and status have grown significantly. Over the past nine years, the number of submitted entries has increased ninefold. This year, approximately 4,000 entries were submitted for consideration across four age groups and five categories: fairy tales, short stories, poems, essays, and feature stories. The authors of the 125 best works received diplomas, special prizes, and commemorative gifts.

Furthermore, last year, by order of the Russian Ministry of Education, the competition was included in the list of Olympiads and intellectual and creative events in Russia. The names of the winners and runners-up are now included in the national "Talents of Russia" database and the registry of the Russian Educational Center "Sirius." This entitles high school graduates to preferential admission to universities.

Reference:

Preserving and protecting the polar bear population is a key focus of Rosneft's environmental program. Since 2013, the Company has been caring for all polar bears living in Russian zoos. Currently, Rosneft is the caretaker of 36 polar bears in 16 zoos across the country, providing housing, feeding, veterinary care, enclosure renovations, toy production, and much more.

Since 2012, Rosneft has conducted over 60 large-scale Arctic expeditions, during which scientists assessed polar bear population sizes and their migration routes, and collected and analyzed biosamples from the predators. The information obtained is crucial for the future development of the region, as the polar bear is a bioindicator species for local ecosystems, along with reindeer, Atlantic walruses, and ivory gulls, all of which Rosneft studies.

A flagship of emergency care and a capital landmark. What will the new complex of the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care look like?

The flagship of emergency care in Russia, an innovative hospital that has created unique medical methods and technologies, one of the most advanced hospitals in the world – all this N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency CareThe development of the legendary medical institution continues: at the end of last year, construction began on it. new complexA mos.ru correspondent spoke with Sklif Director Sergei Petrikov and Moscow's Chief Architect Sergei Kuznetsov about what the clinic of the future will look like.

The entire clinical structure is in one space

The N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care is a hospital with a history spanning over 100 years. It was here that Moscow's emergency medical service was established. In 1810, Count Sheremetev's hospice opened in the city, accepting all patients regardless of their status or financial situation. After the October Revolution of 1917, the hospice's name was abolished. The institution became a regular city hospital. In 1923, the Institute of Emergency Care was established on its premises and named after the distinguished surgeon Nikolai Sklifosovsky.

Today, it is a major multidisciplinary scientific and practical center, specializing in, among other things, combined injuries, burns, and acute pathologies in cardiology, neurology, and toxicology. The institute conducts scientific research and develops its own developments, which are then implemented into clinical practice throughout the country.

In November 2025, construction began on a new medical complex on Bolshaya Sukharevskaya Square, behind the historic hospice building. It will be the largest medical complex currently under construction in Russia. It will cover over 150,000 square meters.

"The Institute of Emergency Care is located on a large site across several buildings. Not every building can provide the full range of necessary diagnostics or treatment, so we often have to transport patients—for example, to the flagship center for CT scans. The new building will be built on the site of the outdated buildings. This will allow us to consolidate the entire clinical structure of the Institute into a single space. Underground and overground passages will connect it to the flagship center. Furthermore, modern technology requires modern facilities. Advanced equipment often takes up a lot of space. Even the beds have become wider and longer. We will equip the complex with even more comfortable wards, spacious diagnostic, treatment, and rehabilitation rooms. All this will improve the speed and quality of care," emphasized Sergei Petrikov.

The flagship center, opened in 2023, will remain the institute's primary emergency care outpost. For example, it houses a regional vascular center, treating patients with heart attacks and strokes. After surgery, those requiring observation will be transferred to specialized departments in the new building.

Medicine with a name: where Sklif began and how it provides emergency care nowWhat equipment will be in the new building of the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care?

A pulsating heart on the building's facade

The building under construction will not only embody the clinic of the future but also become one of the finest examples of medical center design in the world, a new landmark for Moscow. The project was designed by Moscow's chief architect, Sergey Kuznetsov.

"A modern clinic, like a complex factory, places many demands on the layout of its premises and the flow of people. Its technological infrastructure dictates the architect's requirements, as they are, first and foremost, building a medical facility, not an art object. When designing the new Sklif building, we considered various sculptural forms, but ultimately settled on a rational, harmonious, and convenient design for providing care. The complex will consist of five adjacent towers. We carefully considered the internal logistics, creating wide corridors, doorways, and patient rooms. The building will meet the latest Moscow standards. Furthermore, we wanted to avoid a hospital atmosphere. Beautiful entrance areas, spacious hallways, and a comfortable inpatient area—all of this has a positive impact on the emotional well-being of patients," emphasized Sergey Kuznetsov.

The building's façade will be constructed from glass honeycombs and diamonds, reminiscent of the structure of living cells. An installation in the form of a pulsating abstract heart will be installed at the top of the complex, connecting the tallest towers.

The art object, 21 meters high and 28 meters wide, is a complex engineering structure.

"We wanted to create a symbol of salvation, moving away from the clichéd image of a bouncing pulse. The heart will be a metal frame with colored glass cells strung on it. These cells were inspired by the so-called Falconnier bricks. These hollow glass blocks were named after their inventor, the Swiss architect Gustave Falconnier. They were particularly popular during the Art Nouveau era. We placed lighting modules within the cells, which can be programmed to perform various scenarios, for example, emitting a steady light or pulsating," noted Sergey Kuznetsov.

Diaphragm wall, smart faucet, and Face ID

The new building is being constructed using innovative technologies. Due to the complex hydrogeology and the excavation depth of 15 meters below ground, specialists decided to use the "diaphragm wall" metro construction technology for the first time in a medical facility. This is a monolithic enclosing structure that reinforces the pit walls and protects them from groundwater. This stage has already been completed: the perimeter wall is 639 meters long and up to 25 meters deep. Now, pouring the foundation is underway.

Remote control technology for construction tower cranes is also being implemented here. The operator does not need to be in the cabin, improving safety and speed of work. An artificial intelligence-based system helps specialists monitor the movement of cargo and waste: it processes and transmits signals from the crane's control systems to the operator's console.

Another innovation is smartwatches. They monitor workers' health (heart rate, blood pressure) and activity throughout the day to improve productivity. Access to the site is controlled by Face ID facial recognition technology, preventing unauthorized access to the site.

Despite the scale of the construction, the institute continues to see patients as usual. The flagship center has assumed the bulk of the workload for now. Completion is scheduled for 2028.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The results of the RoboWars international robot fighting championship, held in Surat during the Mindbend 2026 technology festival, have been announced in India. The event brought together over 80 teams from around the world. Several days of intense battles against top competitors earned two podium places for the CML-team from the Experimental Design Bureau of the Advanced Engineering School "Digital Engineering." The team took first and third place in the 1.5 kg category with their robots "Walrus" and "Weasel."

The annual Mindbend technology festival is organized by the Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology. The event brings together leading scientists and engineers from numerous universities. The festival traditionally features the international robot fighting championship, RoboWars.

St. Petersburg was represented by the CML-team of the Experimental Design Bureau of the Digital Engineering School of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. The team included engineers from the Experimental Design Bureau of the Digital Engineering School of the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, Daria Kuatkhina and Vsevolod Bolshakov.

In a tense battle, the "Walrus" robot defeated a robot from India in the finals and took first place in the 1.5 kg category. "Laska" also defeated the Indian team and took third place in the 1.5 kg category.

From the very first battles, it was clear that the participants' level of training was significantly higher than last year. The organizers brought together robots of different weight categories (up to 1.5, up to 8, and up to 15 kg) on a single competition field. This allowed both participants and spectators to enjoy the spectacular battles and share a festive spirit. "Of course, we spent a lot of time and effort thoroughly preparing for the competition and were confident. And in the finals, we were really emotionally boosted by the Russian songs the organizers played especially for us, like "Mother," shared Daria Kuatkhina, the curator of the Morzh robot.

During the battle, the robot is controlled by a single pilot, who also serves as the supervisor. However, robot combat competitions always require extensive team training. We discussed the best technical solutions for the robot with my colleagues at the Advanced Engineering School: some provided advice on the electronics, others helped find the best solution for the chassis. This makes our team more experienced and closer. I would especially like to thank Alexey Ivanovich Borovkov, Director of the Polytechnic University's Digital Engineering School, for his comprehensive support," noted Vsevolod Bolshakov, supervisor of the "Laska" robot.

It's important to note that robot fighting championships are primarily competitions in engineering skills. Participants designed robots for battle, manufactured the components, assembled them, and mastered their controls.

The Morzh robot is equipped with a 120 mm diameter "Frame"-type active weapon made of 40X steel. The body consists of four frames and three covers made of D16T aluminum alloy. The weapon is driven by a belt drive from a brushless motor. A thermoplastic polyurethane "skirt" provides armor protection. The weapon rotates at 18,000 rpm.

"Laska" is constructed in a triangular frame made of two aluminum plates and four supports. The robot is equipped with a vertical spinner with a diameter of 100 mm, and side armor printed from thermoplastic polyurethane serves as armor. The robot moves on cast polyurethane wheels. They, like the weapon, are driven by brushless motors. The weapon rotates at 12,000 rpm.

The success of the Polytechnicians was widely covered in the media:
