BEIJING, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) — British Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived in Beijing on Wednesday, beginning a four-day official visit to China.

In August 2024, at the initiative of the British side, a telephone conversation took place between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Keir Starmer, and in November of the same year, during the Chinese President's participation in the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro, they met, which put Sino-British relations on the path of improvement and development.

During Starmer's visit, which will be the first by a British Prime Minister to China in eight years, Xi Jinping will meet with him, Premier Li Qiang will hold talks with him, and Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress Zhao Leji will also meet with Starmer. The two sides are expected to have an in-depth exchange of views on bilateral relations and issues of mutual interest.

In addition to Beijing, he will also visit Shanghai.

Since the UK Labour government came to power, it has made clear its commitment to developing a coherent, strong and strategic relationship with China and actively promoting dialogue and cooperation between the two countries.

K. Starmer leads a delegation comprising senior executives from over 50 major British firms and representatives of British institutions. They represent the country's leading sectors, including finance, medicine, manufacturing, and culture.

Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Tuesday that China wants to use the visit as an opportunity to strengthen political mutual trust with the UK, deepen practical cooperation, jointly write a new chapter in the healthy and stable development of bilateral relations, and work together for global peace, security, and stability. -0-

BEIJING, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) — The North Chinese port city of Tianjin, which successfully hosted the 25th meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in September 2025, intends to actively implement the outcomes of the summit over the next five years to expand its high-level openness to the outside world and enhance the city's international image.

The relevant measures in this direction are outlined in the draft 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of Tianjin City, which was submitted for consideration at the ongoing 4th session of the 18th City People's Congress, the online news portal chinanews.com.cn reported.

According to the draft, during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), Tianjin will make good use of the China-SCO cooperation platforms in the fields of green industry and digital economy, as well as the China-SCO cooperation center in vocational education, to promote innovative development of trade and bilateral investment with SCO countries, and promote the integration of vocational training with industrial practice, especially in the field of artificial intelligence, in SCO countries.

In addition, the city is also prepared to expand cooperation with SCO countries in the humanitarian and medical fields, planning, in particular, to launch a cancer screening project for 10,000 people in SCO countries over the next five years.

The above-mentioned document also provides for a number of other measures to expand external openness, including the implementation of the “Silk Road of E-Commerce” project covering the regions of Central Asia and the Middle East, and further expanding access for foreign investment to local socio-economic sectors.

All these measures clearly demonstrate the firm determination of Tianjin, one of China's four centrally administered municipalities, to deeply integrate into regional and international cooperation to achieve high-quality development, experts say. -0-

January 1st marked the 107th anniversary of the birth of Daniil Aleksandrovich Granin, a St. Petersburg writer and graduate of the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute named after M. I. Kalinin. At the end of the month, a celebratory event dedicated to the memory of the outstanding polytechnician took place at the SPbPU Humanities Institute—the opening of conference hall "Daniil Granin".

The spacious auditorium is located on the second floor of the GI's 6th academic building. Its walls are decorated with a mural featuring a portrait of Daniil Granin, his quotes, and the major milestones of his life. The artist, a Polytechnic University graduate, artist Vasily TsvetkovThe hall smoothly transitions into the Winter Garden.

The famous writer's daughter was present at the opening. Marina Chernysheva-Granina, editor-in-chief of the Neva magazine Alexander Melikhov, students and teachers, directors of institutes, vice-rectors and rector Andrei Rudskoy.

“I considered it an honor to come to such an important event for the university and am grateful for the participation of Marina Danilovna, the daughter of our great writer,” Andrei Rudskoy opened the ceremony. “The gallery of outstanding polytechnicians in the Main Building of our university begins with a portrait Daniil Alexandrovich Granin"That says it all. And when guests come to our university, and we introduce them to the history of the Polytechnic, Daniil Aleksandrovich's name always sounds like a refrain. And today, we're opening not just an auditorium; we're opening a conference hall. And that means a place for lively interaction, discussions, debates on various events, a place where candidate and doctoral dissertation defenses will take place. This will be a powerhouse for our university's humanities education. Farewell!"

Natalya Chicherina, Director of the Humanities Institute, added: "This hall is usually full; graduate students from all of the Polytechnic's institutes come here. Here they study higher education pedagogy and the history of science and technology. Daniil Aleksandrovich once taught the history of technology at the Polytechnic, and today it's a powerful global focus of the Humanities Institute, a scientific specialty. Schoolchildren come here for the Academy of Digital Linguistics and other events. We sincerely hope that the hall will truly become a place of power."

Marina Chernysheva-Granina and Alexander Melikhov shared personal memories of Daniil Alexandrovich. A vivid illustration of the many kind words spoken about this outstanding man was a segment from the 2000 program "Evenings at the Polytechnic," where Daniil Granin answered questions from Polytechnicians from the stage of the White Hall.

Afterwards, Andrei Rudskoy, Marina Chernysheva-Granina, and Natalia Chicherina cut the symbolic green ribbon, signifying the opening. The guests lingered for a long time, chatting and leafing through Daniil Granin's books, which were displayed on the tables. Marina Chernysheva-Granina thanked the Polytechnic University for the invitation and for preserving her father's memory: "I am pleased to be among you, to see your interest, and to be convinced that the Granin Foundation and the Granin Library are doing important work, that the memories of people who loved our city and loved the Polytechnic University are needed. I would like to wish you joy in life. I thank my father every day for passing on to me his ability to enjoy each day."

Denis Orlov, PhD in Engineering: "Grow, work, and develop for the benefit of the scientific community."

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Denis Sergeevich Orlov

In 2025, Denis Sergeevich Orlov, a senior lecturer at the Department of Transport Systems and Road and Bridge Construction at the Faculty of Automobile and Highway Engineering, successfully defended his dissertation on "A Method for Calculating the Parameters of Hydropneumatic Shock Absorbers for Transport and Technological Machines" in specialty 2.5.11 "Ground Transport and Technological Vehicles and Complexes."

As Denis Sergeevich himself notes, obtaining an academic degree was an important, but not the final, stage of his professional journey:

"This is a certain stage in my life, one that required a lot of effort. But I wouldn't say it's final—more like an interim stage. My goals are to continue growing, working here at the university, and developing for the benefit of the scientific community."

Work on his dissertation spanned several years and included graduate studies, research, and scientific publications. The topic of his research was no accident: Denis Orlov's interest in technical sciences and research developed during his school years and was subsequently nurtured by his professional circle.

This dissertation focuses on developing a method for calculating the parameters of hydropneumatic shock absorbers for transport and technological vehicles. According to the author:

"When the results of a study are accepted by the scientific community, they already carry weight. This provides an opportunity to develop the research further and use it as a basis for subsequent research."

The research results have proven practical value and are already being used in educational settings and in experimental work at the manufacturer's facility. The resulting developments can be used to adapt shock absorbers to various operating conditions, including extreme climatic conditions.

Denis Orlov credits the support of his supervisor, Professor Sergei Vasilyevich Repin, Doctor of Engineering Sciences and Professor of the Department of Ground Transport and Technological Machines, with playing a significant role in preparing and defending his dissertation. Denis Sergeyevich also expressed gratitude to the department and the university as a whole. He noted that the university's scientific environment and interaction with experienced colleagues allowed him to develop a clear understanding of the goals and requirements of his research.

Obtaining an academic degree also impacted her teaching. The professor notes that it became a significant source of trust for students:

"After the order was issued, students became actively interested in research, and already in their junior years, they're thinking about choosing a topic and a supervisor. For them, this is definitely a status symbol."

Student interest in research under Denis Orlov's supervision has grown since he was awarded a PhD: students already in their junior years are showing a desire to choose him as their final theses supervisor.

Now, the senior lecturer in the Department of Transport Systems and Road and Bridge Construction plans to continue his research, develop his chosen field, and participate in the training of young researchers. He also notes the importance of a conscious and consistent approach to a research career, especially for undergraduate and graduate students.

The staff of the Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering congratulates Denis Sergeevich Orlov on receiving his Candidate of Technical Sciences degree and wishes him continued professional and academic success.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On January 28, the State University of Management's Academic Council held its regular meeting. The main items on the agenda were the preliminary results of the two institutes' work for 2025 and plans for 2026.

As usual, the program began with congratulatory remarks. The rector presented letters of gratitude from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education for their assistance in organizing and implementing the "Conductors of Meaning. DNA of Russia" program to the head of the university's press service, Tatyana Sharapova, and press service staff members, Kătălin Grigoriev and Galina Yalysheva. He also congratulated the birthday celebrants of the month.

The meeting was opened by Gennady Azoev, Director of the Institute of Marketing, who presented preliminary results of the Institute's planned performance indicators for 2025 and development prospects for 2026.

"This admissions campaign has successfully enrolled groups across all programs, with the vast majority of students on a contractual basis. In addition, our institute implements network programs with several universities and hosts the Hi-Tech Breakthrough tournament and the Brand Education competition, which are consistently popular, especially among international students," said Gennady Azoev.

The Institute's Director, Fyodor Myshko, reported on the results of its work for 2023-2025.

"Our institute has been steadily enrolling students year after year, and the number of contract students is growing. We have plans to further improve these numbers. In addition to those admitted during the summer, students are transferring throughout the year. I would like to note the increase in the number of our students' publications, including in the Higher Attestation Commission (HAC) system, which is particularly valuable. We understand that higher education needs young professionals, and we are preparing a new generation," shared Fyodor Myshko.

After hearing the reports, Vladimir Stroyev noted that this year will be indicative for many programs, institutes, and universities.

"The higher education system continues to change. We all eagerly await the target figures for fee-based admissions, which are now regulated by the Ministry of Education and Science. At the same time, it is already known that the number of fee-based places in a number of our programs will be reduced nationwide. It is important to adapt to these changes while remaining true to our core mission as a state university—not only the first management university in the country, but also a leader in engineering and economics education, which we continue to actively revive today," Vladimir Stroyev emphasized.

The Academic Council also considered issues related to assigning staff to departments for the preparation of PhD dissertations, assigning endorsement ratings to academic publications, providing discounts on tuition, and other work-related matters.

January 28, 2026: PREMIER online cinema revenue increased by 70% in 2025

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Gazprom – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

PREMIER, an online cinema service owned by Gazprom-Media Holding, reported its 2025 business results. The video service's revenue grew by 70% compared to last year, and the number of subscribers increased by 20% to 7.2 million users.

In 2025, PREMIER demonstrated higher revenue growth – a year ago, the platform increased revenue by 54%. The reason for this rapid growth is a new strategy, according to which the online cinema now focuses on partnerships and maximum monetization of its own content. Successful partnerships and lucrative deals selling licenses to broadcast PREMIER's original series helped the platform grow its revenue so effectively.

For example, one of PREMIER's most successful series, "Overheard in Rybinsk," recouped its production costs even before its premiere on the platform: the online cinema entered into a mutually beneficial partnership with the START video service. The series subsequently became one of the most-viewed on the service, garnering over 22 million views. PREMIER also achieved success with the joint launch of the comedy "Old School" with START in 2025: the series was viewed over 30 million times across both platforms (PREMIER and Start). Thus, the launch of "Old School" surpassed even PREMIER's original series of previous years, such as the hit "Peace! Friendship! Chewing Gum!"

Watching time on PREMIER increased by 18% in 2025, while the number of views increased by 20%, with SMART TV remaining the leading platform. Russian series remain the most popular content, watched by over 90% of the service's subscribers.

"In 2025, PREMIER began merging with the RUTUBE video service into a single ecosystem based on the digital assets of Gazprom-Media Holding. The merger of the two teams of professionals will allow them to share experiences and leverage their accumulated expertise more effectively. The RUTUBE platform's capabilities and broad reach—over 85 million unique users monthly—will help PREMIER reach new audiences and create diverse content around original series. In 2025, PREMIER created an unprecedented number of popular hits. Nearly every project became a landmark for the Russian film industry, setting new records."

Sergey Kosinsky, Deputy General Director and Head of Digital Assets at Gazprom-Media Holding

"Root Place": Polytechnic and Karpinsky Institute launch project on the unity of nations

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

2026 has been declared the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia. The main goal of this initiative is to strengthen friendly ties and mutual understanding between all ethnic groups in this multinational country.

Students from all corners of our vast country study at the Polytechnic University. Therefore, in honor of the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia, SPbPU and the Karpinsky Institute launched the "Birthplace" project. Polytechnic students will discuss their small homeland through the lens of the region's geological features.

Each month, clips about different regions will be posted on the Polytechnic's official VKontakte page. The project's heroes will also be featured on banners outside the Main Building.

In the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia, Polytechnic University and the Karpinsky Institute are launching a joint project that, in our opinion, will showcase the true wealth of our country. "Russia has a wide variety of mineral resources, for which various regions are renowned. We'll talk about this, too, but our greatest strength lies in our people, their community, and their shared destiny," noted Marianna Dyakova, Head of SPbPU's Public Relations Department.

The Karpinsky Institute explained how the idea for this project came about: "We constantly work with regions—their subsoil resources, their geological maps. At some point, we realized that behind every deposit, behind every figure in geological reports, there are people. When we met our colleagues from the Polytechnic University, it quickly became clear that we were looking in the same direction. You have students from all over the country, and we have knowledge of the geology of these regions. And we wanted to combine this in a single project: to make the region "speak" through the person who was born there, is now studying at the Polytechnic University, and is thinking about the future."

Marianna Dyakova emphasized: "We announced an open call for students to participate in the project and saw an incredible response—a huge number of students wanted to talk about their small homelands. I believe this is very valuable and significant. Students from all over Russia will share the riches of their region and, thanks to the collection of the Karpinsky Institute's Geological Museum, will showcase mineral samples."

The project will tell about 12 regions of Russia.

The Sakha Republic (Yakutia) is the leader in diamond reserves and production. Krasnoyarsk Krai is the leader in gold production. Belgorod Oblast is the leader in iron ore reserves and production. Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug is the leader in oil reserves and production. Kemerovo Oblast is the leader in coal reserves and production. Murmansk Oblast is the leader in rare metal and rare earth element reserves and production. Komi Republic is the leader in aluminum reserves and production. Chukotka Autonomous Okrug is the leader in tin reserves. Magadan Oblast is the leader in silver reserves and production. Kabardino-Balkarian Republic is the leader in tungsten reserves. Perm Krai is the leader in potash reserves and production. Zabaikalsky Krai is the leader in uranium reserves and production.

This project is about the living connection between regions. When a student, standing in our country's largest natural science museum, picks up a mineral sample and says, "This is my region," geology ceases to be a "quiet" science. It becomes a personal story, a responsibility and pride for one's region, for the entire country. And it's also an important conversation about unity. Different regions, different resources—one country," the Karpinsky Institute noted.
