Fragment of the exhibition

The SPbGASU Project-Based Learning Educational Center is hosting an exhibition of theses dedicated to the preservation and renovation of the historic Parusinka district in Ivangorod, Leningrad Oblast, in conjunction with the III International Scientific and Practical Conference "Border Symmetry."

Graduates of the Department of Architectural Environment Design and the Department of Architectural and Urban Heritage at SPbGASU presented their final qualification theses, featuring projects for the revival of the former A. L. Stieglitz manufactories and the historic Parusinka district in Ivangorod, as well as for the modern adaptation of unique industrial heritage sites on the border with Estonia—the A. L. Stieglitz manufactory, a workers' settlement, and a park. The students presented their theses to faculty members at our university—Head of the Department of Architectural Environment Design Maria Granström and Associate Professor Jan Korzhempo—as well as to specialists from Saint Petersburg State University, the Saint Petersburg Stieglitz State Academy of Art and Design, and other universities.

The discussion was moderated by Sergey Yaroshetsky, editor-in-chief of the magazine "Addresses of Petersburg" and professor at the Higher School of Printing and Media Technology at the St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design. Oleg Romanov, Honorary President of the Union of Architects of St. Petersburg, and Elena Stieglitz, Director of the Baron Stieglitz Heritage Foundation, participated in the discussion. Experts included film producer Dmitry Brodsky, historian Vera Amosova, director of the Rizalit company Yevgeny Varnavitsky, and journalist Anna Damaskina.

According to Sergei Yaroshetsky, "On one side of the Narva River, the Krenholm Manufactory, painstakingly preserved by its Swedish owners, is clearly visible. And on our side lies the extremely neglected site of the former manufactories of the legendary Baron A. L. Stieglitz. In an effort to restore order there as quickly as possible—restoring, reconstructing, and preserving—we are opening an exhibition of renovation projects for this remarkable historical and cultural monument."

Alexey Volkov, a graduate of the Department of Architectural and Urban Heritage at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (SPbGASU), proposed a restoration architect's concept for the renovation of the Parusinka area under the inspiring slogan "On the sails of the past – to the space of the future." "I believe that the historical framework of Parusinka and the identified environmental values provide an opportunity to unlock the tourism potential not only of the area but of all of Ivangorod," he noted.

Elizaveta Luksha, a graduate of the Department of Architectural Environmental Design, explained: "I propose establishing an educational cluster within the factory's workshops—training and production studios, conference rooms, and a student campus where art students could undertake year-round internships. The new educational center would also create unique opportunities for Ivangorod residents, engaging children and adults in creativity and project-based learning. The design of the embankment facing Estonia, which serves as the face of Russia, the creation of a walking route, the restoration of the stables, and the creation of a museum area will help revive this currently depressing area, preserve the spirit of the place, and improve the quality of the urban environment. I believe that the creation of a cultural and educational cluster on the site of the former factory will continue the legacy of Alexander Ludwigovich Stieglitz, who participated in the support and construction of educational institutions in Russia."

The exhibition will run on weekdays through October 31. Address: Fontanka River Embankment, Buildings 123–125, Project-Based Learning Educational Center, St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering. To visit, please register by email. dssaf@spbgasu.ru

TIANJIN, October 17 (Xinhua) — China's civilian helicopter fleet will increase to more than 1,700 units by 2029, according to an annual report released Wednesday by the Civil Aircraft Systems Engineering Research Center of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC).

A report on the forecast for the development of the Chinese civil helicopter market was published at the 2025 China Helicopter Industry Development Forum held in Tianjin, northern China.

Based on a comprehensive analysis of China's socio-economic development and the main applications of civil helicopters, the report presents the latest forecast for the development of the Chinese helicopter market over the next 10 years, according to which the total fleet of civil helicopters in China will exceed 2,000 units by 2034.

The report notes that after 2030, the expansion of China's civil helicopter fleet will slow as a result of increasing competition from advanced low-altitude flight technologies such as unmanned aerial vehicles and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.

The report also noted a steady increase in the number of civil helicopter flight hours in China, amid ongoing optimization of the Chinese economic structure and the dynamic development of the country's low-altitude economy. According to forecasts, this figure will exceed 300,000 hours by 2029, and could surpass 370,000 hours by 2034.

By the end of 2024, China's civil helicopter fleet reached 1,403 units, a 2.3 percent increase year-on-year. Light helicopters continued to make up the bulk of China's civil helicopter fleet, accounting for over 40 percent.

Polina Dolgorukova, a second-year Design student at the Higher School of Design and Architecture of the Civil Engineering Institute of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, took part in the "Renaissance" scientific and educational expedition in the Ivanovo region.

Polina Dolgorukova's team spent three days working in the city of Plyos, one of the region's key tourist and cultural centers, included in the Golden Ring of Russia route. Situated on the banks of the Volga River, Plyos is known for its architecture, picturesque landscapes, and connections to the work of artist Isaac Levitan.

The expedition participants represented various Russian universities, including the Moscow Institute of Art and Design, the Higher School of Economics, Ivanovo State University, and Ivanovo Polytechnic University. Together, the students studied the urban environment and the local population's lifestyle, conducted sociological research, and asked residents about the symbols and images they associated with Plyos. Based on the collected data, the students developed concepts for modern branded merchandise: tote bags, sweatshirts, t-shirts, postcards, and stickers.

Polina Dolgorukova's team's project, "Plyos Vibe," was recognized by the jury and received a special nomination from the Ivanovo Region Youth Policy Committee.

"This trip was a truly profound experience for me. We spent three days immersed in the atmosphere of Plyos, learning to work with its cultural code and translate impressions into graphic design. It was fascinating to exchange experiences with students from different universities. "Of course, there's room for improvement, but I'm glad I got to be part of this project," Polina shared.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On October 14, the Polytechnic University successfully held an open day for the "Digital Departments. IT Formula. Polytechnic" project. The event brought together over 400 students interested in obtaining additional IT qualifications.

"Digital Departments" are unique professional retraining programs implemented as part of the federal project "Universities for a Generation of Leaders" of the national project "Youth and Children." The key objective is to equip students in non-core fields with relevant IT competencies that will enhance their competitiveness in the labor market, regardless of their career path.

This academic year, Polytechnic University offers 14 diverse programs covering the most promising areas.

Digital design and artificial intelligence technologies in the design of visual communications
Programming for BIM platforms
Artificial intelligence in construction
Methods for conducting research and digital data processing in problems of the electric power industry using digital twins
Automation of calculations in electrical power systems using the C# programming language
Digital data analysis in economics and management
Bioinformatics
Python: from basics to scientific research
Development of business management solutions based on 1C technologies
Business analyst 1C
Digital Marketing and Social Media
IT consulting
Python. Data analysis in marketing
Digital technologies for design and engineering in mechanical engineering

The event's guests had the opportunity to personally interact with future teachers, representatives of partner companies, and students who had already completed the training. They learned about all the details of the educational process, how internships are organized, and the opportunities offered by a professional retraining diploma.

For example, at the "Development of Business Management Solutions Based on 1C Technologies" and "1C Business Analyst" program booth, partners SoftBalance, Omega, BIA Technologies, and 1C-Rarus-SPb introduced students to the 1C specialist and the career and educational opportunities available to students within the Digital Department partner tracks.

Studying in the project's programs not only provides relevant knowledge but also proven practical experience. Students work on real-world projects that serve as the foundation for their professional portfolios and resumes, and upon completion, they receive a professional retraining diploma conferring an IT qualification.

Training is provided in a convenient online format with ongoing feedback from expert practitioners. Polytechnic University students enjoy a number of special benefits: they can qualify for additional points toward an enhanced scholarship and have their completed course credited toward the mobility module of the "Career Adaptability" track. Furthermore, a diploma from the Digital Department gives graduates an advantage when applying for a master's degree at the Polytechnic University, adding points to the portfolio competition.

This year, we launched 14 practice-oriented programs in collaboration with market leaders so that any student—whether a designer or an energy specialist—can become a specialist with strong IT competencies and dramatically increase their value in the labor market, commented Nadezhda Tsvetkova, head of the Digital Departments project.

Open Day attendees were able to see that Polytechnic's educational programs meet the most current market demands and prepare specialists capable of shaping the future of their industries.

Training at the Digital Departments will begin in November. You can learn more about the programs and register atwebsite.

Mikhail Maslov, an engineer at the Vega Observatory at Novosibirsk State University, captured the second-brightest comet to date, C/2025 R2 SWAN. The footage was taken in the Iskitim district of the Novosibirsk region. The comet currently hangs low on the horizon in the evenings.

"This is a recently discovered comet, currently the second brightest after C/2015 A6 Lemmon. Previously visible in the Southern Hemisphere, it's now moving into the Northern Hemisphere, but still low in altitude. It will be visible in telescopes and binoculars in the evenings over the next three weeks," said Mikhail Maslov.

It probably had not been in the Solar System before, since its orbit is weakly hyperbolic, that is, open and non-periodic.

“This comet will fly through the inner regions of the solar system once and, most likely, will not return,” added Mikhail Maslov.
