At SPbPU onII All-Russian Scientific and Practical Conference "Innovative Approaches in Urban Development: Science, Education, Practice" A project session entitled "High-Rise Construction in the Leningrad Region" was held. The event was organized by the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University's Institute of Civil Engineering for senior undergraduate and graduate students from specialized universities in St. Petersburg.

The co-organizers were the Arch-Event Association of Architects and the Council for Architecture and Urban Development of the Leningrad Region and Northwest Russia under the Union of Architects of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region. The session partner was the company Rechnoy Fasad. The curator was Maria Drebezgova, Associate Professor at the Institute of Contemporary Art's Higher School of Design and Architecture.

Before the project began, participants attended introductory lectures from leading practicing architects from Moscow and St. Petersburg. Anton Nadtochiy, an architect and member of the Moscow Union of Architects, presented a paper titled "New Urban Planning Approaches and High-Rise Construction," in which he outlined contemporary trends in urban fabric formation. Anna Shtepa, chief architect of Apex Design Bureau, revealed the intricacies of "Design Features of High-Rise Urban Complexes at the Initial Stage," focusing on engineering and technical aspects.

A separate lecture by Natalia Furman, Director of the Architecture and Design Department at SM Arkitekter, was devoted to the influence of architectural structures on the image of territories. Using practical examples, the lecturer demonstrated how an innovative approach can transform ordinary buildings into a magnet.

Following the lectures, teams of students from the Institute of Social Studies of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (SPbPU) began working on two development sites: in Kudrovo (Zanevskoye Settlement) and the southern part of Murino. Over the course of four hours, under the guidance of experienced architects and university professors, the participants developed and formulated their territorial development concepts.

The SPbPU teams were led by Arseniy Mamoshin, chief project architect at the Mamoshin Architectural Studio, and Oleg Manov, head of the FUTURA-ARCHITECTS studio. The teams were mentored by Galina Bardina and Alexandra Zatsepina, senior lecturers at the Higher School of Industrial, Civil, and Road Construction.

The team, supervised by Galina Bardina, presented a concept that envisions forming an architectural ensemble from several volumes, varying in number of stories. The design is based on constructivist principles, inspired by the Leningrad avant-garde, with an emphasis on the geometric purity of form.

The team, supervised by Alexandra Zatsepina, based their composition on the principle of hyperbole: the concept begins with horizontal elements and progresses to a dominant vertical feature. This helps seamlessly connect the existing development with the new high-rise.

Upon completion of their work, the students presented their projects to the session's expert council. The experts noted the high professional level and diversity of approaches. They also praised the students' insightful assessment of the role of the designed skyscrapers in the agglomeration development of two adjacent constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

The students proved they have the courage to dream and the talent to transform those dreams into architecture. The task of professionals is to teach them to live up to this courage in the face of the real urban fabric, noted the organizers from Arch-Event in their closing remarks.

Today, a meeting of students majoring in Jurisprudence was held at Novosibirsk State University. Institute of Philosophy and Law and the Faculty of Economics of Novosibirsk State University with the Prosecutor of the Novosibirsk Region, State Counselor of Justice, Second Class, Alexander Buchman. The event attracted over 300 people. The discussion focused on current issues related to the prevention of extremism and terrorism, cyberfraud, and financial scams. Alexander Efimovich also discussed why he chose the prosecutor's profession, how he began his career, and what it takes to achieve excellence in the legal profession.

At the beginning of the meeting, Alexander Efimovich, speaking about the goals of the event, noted:

"I'd like to answer your questions today and warn you against even the slightest step that could harm you and your loved ones. We're seeing a lot of text messages these days, offering various ways to make money, and committing a huge number of crimes related to fraud, drug trafficking, and so on. As a result, people are getting drawn into gang crimes, which can lead to certain consequences. I urge you to be responsible, mindful, and cautious about your actions."

New fraud methods emerge weekly, including those using new technologies such as artificial intelligence and neural networks. These days, these include not only financial pyramids and banking, but also medical centers. However, our country has the necessary legal framework to prevent such acts and establish fair punishments.

In recent years, the age of criminal responsibility for certain extremist and terrorist crimes has been lowered. Asked about the purpose of these changes, Alexander Buchman explained:

The purpose of introducing criminal liability and additional criminal statutes is to prevent young people from feeling they have impunity. It's also a form of prevention, so that everyone understands that if they commit any act, it will be a criminal offense and they won't be released. Then, accordingly, it will act as a deterrent and stop young people from committing crimes.

Giving advice on what to do if you receive offers from suspicious accounts, the regional prosecutor emphasized the need to immediately block them and contact the police or the duty unit. Furthermore, the "Youth Cyber Squad" movement operates in the Novosibirsk Region, where you can also report fraud.

Alexander Buchman eagerly answered students' questions about his work. He chose his career path in his second year of law school, when he interned at the transport prosecutor's office. He enjoyed the work and decided to pursue a career in the prosecutor's office. When asked what it takes to achieve greatness in his career, he emphasized the importance of loving your job, working hard, and embracing opportunities that arise along the way.

146 years of management history

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On March 3, 1880, the Aleksandrovsk Commercial School was founded, which became the historical foundation of the State University of Management.

The school was established on the initiative of Nikolai Naidenov, Chairman of the Moscow Exchange Committee, founder, and board member of the Moscow Merchant Bank, in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the reign of Emperor Alexander II. The proposal received financial support from Moscow's wealthiest industrialists and financiers, major trading houses, a number of manufactories, and the Moscow Merchant Bank.

The new educational institution, operating on a commercial basis, trained "children of members of the merchant class for commercial activities." The curriculum, approved by the Ministry of Finance in agreement with the Ministry of Public Education of the Russian Empire, was adopted on July 11, 1885, and the first academic year began that same year.

Prominent scholars of the time taught both general and specialized subjects at the Alexander Commercial School, including the history of trade, commodity science, accounting, political economy, law, and others. Emphasis was placed on the practical side of education and the development of systems thinking.

In subsequent years, new educational structures focusing on management were formed on the school's foundation. Through a series of institutional transformations, it was this educational line that led to the creation of the modern State University of Management, ensuring the continuity of the management school. Over these decades, the educational institution has undergone a significant transformation, while preserving its most important characteristic—its management DNA.

Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, has repeatedly emphasized that a modern university should not be constrained by political prejudices. Therefore, the university is reclaiming elements of its historical memory—the Order of the Red Banner of Labor has once again graced the façade, and a bust of Sergo Ordzhonikidze has been installed in the hall.

Congratulations to the students, faculty, and staff on the university's 146th anniversary! May this milestone serve as another milestone for further development and new achievements.

Moscow's rescuers have stepped up monitoring of the city's rivers and reservoirs due to warmer temperatures. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Utilities, and Urban Development. Petr Biryukov.

"Water search and rescue personnel are conducting enhanced patrols of rivers and bodies of water due to the sharp rise in temperatures, which is why the ice on the Moscow River is loose and open in places, while the center and south of the city are ice-free. We urge Muscovites to exercise caution, avoid going out on the ice, and keep a close eye on children and pets while walking near water," noted Pyotr Biryukov.

Water safety in the capital is ensured by the staff of 26 search and rescue stations of the Moscow City Search and Rescue Service on water bodies, which employs more than 500 specialists.

Ice thickness measurements are taken regularly, and areas of unauthorized access to the ice, winter swimming, and fishing are under special control.

Rescuers patrol the waters on hovercraft—more than 25 of these vehicles are in use. These unique vehicles can travel on water and ice at an average speed of 50–80 kilometers per hour. All vessels are equipped with rescue equipment. During the winter, mobile rescue posts and a diving rescue vehicle are also deployed.

To prevent accidents on the water, preventative measures are constantly being carried out: lifeguards patrol coastal areas and conduct conversations with people vacationing near bodies of water and fishermen.
