On September 13, the creativity festival "Otkrytie" was held in the student campus on Lesnaya. The event, organized by the administration of the Student Club of the Directorate of Cultural Programs and Youth Creativity, became a pass to the future for the most active first-year students.

The festival featured a full range of cultural and leisure activities: two theaters, two choirs, two vocal studios, a pop-symphony orchestra, a dance studio, KVN and other groups. The studios and associations of the Student Club surprised everyone with so many things! Guests learned to draw music, got acquainted with rare photographic equipment, participated in a show, launched a drum from the musical show "Don't Sleep!" and received predictions for the academic year. The Polytechnic Student Theater held express trainings, and the People's University Theater "Glagol" invited behind the scenes. At all stations, students earned game currency, which could be exchanged for memorable gifts in the Student Club souvenir shop or saved for the big auction.

At the Otkrytie festival, we, together with the Ingenium orchestra, played games with guests and looked for talented polytechnic students — future members of our orchestra. The student club is a place to meet new friends and realize your talents, — shared 2nd-year student of the Institute of Biological Sciences and Biology Savva Ivanov.

The creative space of the festival was an interactive map of the annual events of the Student Club: for a couple of minutes, the Polytechnicians found themselves in the atmosphere of "ArtCamp" – a traditional trip for first-year students, the intellectual and entertaining game "FastBrain", Maslenitsa and the legendary project "Dances. Polytechnic". The Ecological Community "Regrin" and the United Student Council of Dormitories also joined the festival.

The atmosphere of the festival made a huge impression! A big gala concert prepared by the studios, many interactive activities and absolutely different decorations. It was especially nice to see how many kids are interested in creativity and immediately sign up for the groups they liked! – shared first-year student of the IPMET Maria Akimenko.

The center of attraction was the stage, where for two hours the participants of the Youth Choir "Polyhymnia", vocal studio "Polivoks", Chamber Choir, dance studio PolyDance, as well as finalists and participants of the project "Star of Polytech", artists of the musical show "Don't Sleep!" and beatbox master Ekaterina Pautova performed. The finale of the evening was the viewing of a cartoon in the open air.

On September 16, 1943, the city of Novorossiysk was completely liberated from the fascist invaders. This victory stopped the Wehrmacht's advance in the southern direction, forced them to leave the Caucasus and abandon attempts to reach the Baku oil wells, and also returned the waters of the Black, Azov and Caspian Seas under the full control of the Soviet fleet.

The German army captured Novorossiysk in early September 1942. The enemy had built over 300 defensive structures in the city, dug five lines of trenches, installed barbed wire and about 30 thousand mines. Naval mines were also installed at the entrance to the port, and guns and machine guns were placed on all the piers and moles. The city was considered impregnable from the sea.

The Battle of Novorossiysk, which lasted 225 days, began on February 4, 1943, with a landing in the area of the village of Stanichki under the command of Major Caesar Kunikov. Initially, the operation was planned as a diversionary strike, but it turned out to be a key stage of the battle. 400 paratroopers managed to capture a coastal bridgehead of no more than 30 square kilometers. The sea was behind them, the enemy was ahead, and there was nowhere to retreat. At first, the Red Army soldiers repelled 15-20 attacks per day. On the third day, Major Kunikov died. At the cost of incredible efforts, the bridgehead was held, reinforcements began to arrive, and provisions and ammunition were delivered from the air. This patch of land, which had constantly threatened the Nazis' right flank for more than seven months, went down in history under the name Malaya Zemlya.

It is interesting that the future General Secretary of the CPSU Leonid Brezhnev, a colonel in those years and head of the political department of the 18th Army, fought on Malaya Zemlya. He was wounded there and later received the Order of the Patriotic War, 1st degree, for his participation in the battles for the liberation of Novorossiysk.

The main assault began on September 10, 1943, with three groups of troops, one of which attacked from Malaya Zemlya, the second from the Tuapse Highway, and the third from the sea. The operation was supported from the air by 148 aircraft. Particularly heavy fighting took place for the area of the Krasny Oktyabr cement plant, the village of Turkish Garden, the power plant, the Proletary cement plant, and Sakharnaya Golova Mountain. Thanks to the courage and coordinated actions of the army and navy, Novorossiysk was completely cleared of the enemy by 10 a.m. on September 16.

The contribution of the sapper units to the victory is worth mentioning separately. It was they, under the leadership of engineer captain Kirill Turbaevsky, who made Malaya Zemlya impregnable, digging a trench in the rocky ground with titanic efforts and setting up hundreds of firing points and hidden observation posts. In September 1943, sappers, under heavy fire from the Germans from Sakharnaya Golova, established a crossing over Kamyshovskaya Gully, manually pouring a stone bridge along which Soviet tanks entered the city. And after the end of the fighting, they also freed the city from the enemy legacy in the form of tens of thousands of mines.

For their bravery in the battles for Novorossiysk, 19 units and formations of the Red Army received the honorary title of "Novorossiysk", 21 defenders of the city and Malaya Zemlya were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, hundreds of fighters received orders and medals. And on September 14, 1973, in honor of the 30th anniversary of liberation, Novorossiysk received the title of Hero City.

Eternal glory to the defenders of the Motherland!

The exhibition "Road of Life – Road of Labor" is located in the salon of the bus "Volzhanin-6270.06 Cityritm-15". It is dedicated to the heroic feat of civilian transport specialists on the Road of Life during the years of the Leningrad blockade. In the mobile museum complex you can see rare exhibits and even feel like a driver of the legendary "one and a half ton truck".

What is interesting about this bus? It was created on a voluntary basis, with their own hands. There is a proverb: if the mountain does not come to Mohammed, Mohammed goes to the mountain. In this case: if there is no opportunity to visit the museum yourself, then it will come to you. I think that this is very cool, – notes the director of the SPbPU History Museum Valery Klimov.

Military highways 101 and 102, also known as the "Road of Life", were serviced by various vehicles, including heavy trucks YaG-6. But the main symbol of the Ladoga ice road remained the legendary "one and a half" GAZ-AA.

The production of these vehicles began in 1932 at the Gorky Automobile Plant. Despite its relatively small weight (1,750 kg), the GAZ-AA could move on ice 20 cm thick. However, drivers often took risks and drove onto thinner ice, which often led to tragic consequences – many trucks fell through, taking their drivers and passengers with them. These vehicles were raised from the bottom of Lake Ladoga both during the war and in our time.

The "one-and-a-half" trucks transported evacuated residents of besieged Leningrad to the eastern shore of Lake Ladoga, and delivered back food, industrial goods, coal and raw materials for the enterprises operating in the besieged city.

In addition to trucks, about 100 buses, including the ZIS-8 model, worked on the Road of Life. Their production began in 1934 on the basis of the ZIS-5 truck ("Zakhar Ivanovich") – the flagship of Stalin's automobile industry. The design of the ZIS-8 was typical for buses of that time: a wooden frame with metal sheathing and a canvas roof impregnated with waterproof paint.

It is interesting that these cars were produced not only in Moscow, but also in Leningrad, and the Leningrad models were distinguished by their particular elegance: chrome parts and three-color paint.

Such a ZIS-8 bus is depicted on the body of the "Museobus", which symbolizes the connection of times. More information about the exploits of drivers and their cars can be found at the exhibition "Road of Life – Road of Labor".

This year, most of our first-year students are not from St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, but from other regions. For them, the concepts of “September 8” and “the Leningrad Blockade” are something very distant. But for us, Leningraders, it is close. Of course, people should know about those difficult days of the blockade, they should remember, because there was no such battle in the history of all mankind. We call it the blockade of the city, but there were battles. The Battle of Leningrad lasted more than 800 days. It is hard to imagine that in the middle of the 20th century, people were dying of hunger. This is a terrible thing. History, unfortunately, does not teach, but it is worth learning from. History must be known, – shares Valery Klimov.

The participants of the exhibition emphasize that the excursion allowed them to take a new look at the Road of Life and significantly deepen their knowledge of this significant stage in the history of our city. Many people previously believed that the Road of Life was only a path across Lake Ladoga, but they had no idea that, in fact, the road was much longer and more dangerous.

The exhibition on the territory of the Polytechnic University can be visited by all employees and students of the university. The exhibition also interested residents of the Kalininsky district, who could not pass by and dropped in on a tour in the "Museobus".

The project "Museobus – Like a museum, only a bus!" is being implemented using a grant from the President of the Russian Federation for the development of civil society, provided by the Presidential Grants Fund. The museum bus will be on the territory of the Polytechnic (guest parking near the Church of the Intercession of the Holy Mother of God) on September 15 and 16. The exhibition will be open from 10:00 to 16:00.

The musical festival “Strauss Gala” marked the beginning of the new concert season in the White Hall – the 20th in its modern history.

You enter the assembly hall and are involuntarily surprised by its size… The hall is all white with a stucco ceiling, with huge windows in two rows, wide ceilings pouring in waves of light. Along three walls stretch choirs supported by light balustrades, – wrote the newspaper "Birzhevye Vedomosti" on October 2, 1902.

The history of the hall and the history of the university are common. The ceremonial opening of the Polytechnic Institute on October 1, 1902 took place in the White Hall. Many historical events took place there – from speeches of the country's political leaders to creative evenings of famous poets and actors. Permanent concert activity in the White Hall began 100 years later. On September 1, 2005, the hall opened after restoration with a concert by Vladimir Spivakov and the Moscow Virtuosi Orchestra.

"This performance became a kind of standard for all subsequent concerts in the White Hall," says Boris Kondin, head of the Directorate of Cultural Programs and Youth Creativity at SPbPU, who took charge of this work 20 years ago. "Since then, the White Hall has maintained an atmosphere of grandeur and is famous for unforgettable concerts of Russian and world stars, masters of culture and art."

On the opening day of the 20th season, guests of the White Hall were greeted by an exhibition of historical photographs, which showed how the hall had changed over the course of a century of its history.

The State St. Petersburg Symphony Orchestra "Classica" presented the audience with a double gift – a concert in honor of the 20th anniversary of the beginning of the new history of the hall and the 200th anniversary of the birth of Johann Strauss Jr. The Viennese "waltz king" Johann Strauss spent many years in his beloved St. Petersburg of the second half of the 19th century, leading the orchestra at the Pavlovsk Music Station and delighting the public, including the imperial family, with brilliant concerts.

And now, in our days, immortal waltzes, polkas and marches have filled the White Hall with the grace and atmosphere of a ball.

"Strauss's music is best suited to create a festive mood and open the anniversary concert season," said the orchestra's conductor, Maestro Alexander Kantorov. "I congratulate the team and the audience of the White Hall, and wish to continue to delight connoisseurs of great classics with such celebrations of music and inspiration!"
