A significant international meeting took place at SPbPU. At the initiative of the Committee for External Relations of St. Petersburg and the Consulate General of Hungary, a visit of representatives of the Consulate and Embassy of Hungary in Russia took place at the Polytechnic University, aimed at restoring academic and scientific cooperation.

The delegation included Deputy Consul General of Hungary in St. Petersburg Bela Báthory and Attaché for Education, Science and Technology of the Embassy of Hungary in Russia András Márfi. Despite the difficult international situation, the Hungarian representatives particularly emphasized that science and education should remain outside politics. András Márfi and Báthory noted that Hungary consistently seeks opportunities to develop interaction and preserve existing developments in academic cooperation tracks with Russian universities, within the framework of accessible formats of international cooperation.

The negotiations were attended by the Vice-Rector for International Affairs Dmitry Arsenyev and employees of international services supervising international cooperation and academic mobility from the Polytechnic University. The meeting was held in a constructive manner and was devoted to finding practical ways to intensify cooperation between the universities of the two countries.

The central topic of discussion was scholarship support programs for students from Russia and Hungary. The current positive dynamics were noted. SPbPU provided detailed information on opportunities for Hungarian students in Russia, including quotas of the Russian Government and a unique project of the Global Universities Association — the international Olympiad "Open Doors: Russian Scholarship". Winning this Olympiad gives the right to free education in the bachelor's, master's or postgraduate programs of any leading Russian university, including SPbPU, regardless of the allocated quotas.

The parties discussed the resumption of student and faculty exchange programs, as well as prospects for creating joint educational programs, in particular in engineering, economics and biomedicine. The Russian side emphasized its readiness to sign new inter-university agreements, which will be preliminarily agreed upon with the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia.

Dmitry Arsenyev recalled the long-standing and strong ties between SPbPU and its Hungarian colleagues, in particular with the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. An important step in developing the dialogue will be the upcoming meeting of the Russian-Hungarian intergovernmental commission in Moscow in December 2025, where a separate working group on higher education will operate. It is expected that representatives of the rectors' corps of both countries will take part in it.

The delegation's visit became a significant practical step in establishing direct contacts between the academic circles of Russia and Hungary. The parties agreed to intensify interaction in developing opportunities for scientific and educational cooperation.

The Institute of Civil Engineering of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University has summed up the results of this year's admission campaign. The results once again confirmed the high level of trust of applicants in one of the most prestigious institutes in the country, which continues to prepare professionals to solve the most complex problems of modern construction.

Following the 2025 admissions campaign, ISI accepted more than 1,200 students, 43 of whom were admitted without entrance examinations due to outstanding achievements in Olympiads and competitions. The passing scores for the Construction program were 244 points, and for the Construction of Unique Buildings and Structures program — 266 points for the main competitive places. More than 1,000 applicants choose ISI annually, which indicates its stable popularity among future students.

Today, the Civil Engineering Institute trains specialists in six areas of training: "Construction", "Construction of Unique Buildings and Structures", "Design" and "Design of the Architectural Environment", "Urban Planning", and "Technosphere Safety". Based on the rich heritage of the hydraulic engineering faculty and the achievements of outstanding scientists, the institute is forming a new generation of highly qualified engineers ready to solve urgent problems of the construction industry.

The history of the Civil Engineering Institute dates back to 1907. Since its foundation, the Institute has always been a leading educational center for training personnel for the construction industry, producing highly qualified specialists of international level, whose knowledge and experience formed the basis for the creation of unique facilities throughout Russia and beyond.

A special place in history is occupied by the Faculty of Hydrotechnics, which from 1934 to 1999 became the center for training engineers for the largest hydrotechnical projects. Currently, there are no hydroelectric power plants in Russia in the justification, design and construction of which graduates of the Faculty of Hydrotechnics would not have participated. The same can be said about hydrotechnical facilities in the former republics of the USSR, now sovereign states. Many graduates participated in the design and construction of facilities in Vietnam, Egypt, Syria, Turkey and other countries. Particular pride is caused by the participation of the faculty in the justification of a complex of protective structures for St. Petersburg from floods.

The faculty of that period employed outstanding scientists whose names have received wide recognition not only in Russia but also abroad. Among them were A. Z. Basevich, A. V. Belov, P. I. Vasiliev, P. D. Glebov, S. S. Galushkevich, O. G. Dietz, N. V. Zarubaev, P. L. Ivanov, B. D. Kachanovsky, V. S. Knoroz, M. P. Kozhevnikov, I. I. Levi, V. E. Lyakhnitsky, A. L. Mozhevitinov, A. A. Morozov, S. D. Okorokov, A. A. Sabaneev, N. A. Filimonov, V. A. Florin, Yu. I. Yagn, M. D. Chertousov, R. R. Chugaev, D. S. Shchavelev. Their scientific achievements had a significant impact on the development of the construction industry and engineering.

Today, the Civil Engineering Institute continues the tradition of high-quality training of specialists, following its mission – to educate engineers who provide technological and cognitive leadership in the construction industry of the Russian Federation. Over the past few years, it has consistently confirmed its reputation as an advanced educational center in the field of construction. According to the RAEX Agency, the Civil Engineering Institute has received the highest rating among Russian construction universities for the third year in a row.

Students of the ISI demonstrate high achievements at various competition venues. In 2021–2024, they became permanent winners of the International Construction Championship in the competencies of “Information Modeling and Modeling” and “Design of the Architectural and Construction Part”, the annual all-Russian competition “Energy of Development” of PJSC RusHydro, finalists of all-Russian and international architectural project competitions, for example, the all-Russian competition of sketch designs for the Yaroslavl airport complex, participants in the “I am a Professional” program and many others. Particularly noteworthy is the victory of the ISI “PoliTechExpert” team in the final of the Interuniversity Engineering Competition “PrimeTechKursk 2024”, as well as the successful performance of students in the “Team Leaders 2023/24” and BRICS Future Skills competitions

The modern Civil Engineering Institute is based on 4 higher schools: the Higher School of Industrial, Civil and Road Construction, the Higher School of Hydraulic and Power Engineering, the Higher School of Design and Architecture, the Higher School of Technosphere Safety, three basic departments – "Fire Safety" based on Gefest LLC, "Agrophysical Engineering" based on the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution "Agrophysical Research Institute" and "Urban Planning" based on the Research Institute of Advanced Urban Planning LLC, the Center for Additional Professional Programs, preparatory courses and the Magazine of Civil Engineering. The ISI implements 7 postgraduate programs and 6 dissertation councils.

The Civil Engineering Institute works with more than 100 industrial partners representing the largest corporations, leading design and construction organizations of the Russian Federation: Rosatom, PJSC RusHydro, Severstal, Gazprom Neft, PJSC Samolet Group of Companies, Setl Group, Glavstroy Saint Petersburg, Brusnika, IRBIS Engineering Corporation, JSC Titan-2 Concern, JSC Lenmorniiproekt, JSC ETALON Group of Companies, and the NOTECH Association. Partnership with these organizations allows the Institute to introduce current practices and technologies into the educational process, as well as to ensure a high level of training for specialists in the construction industry.

The Civil Engineering Institute, preserving centuries-old traditions of quality training of specialists, continues to train the future engineering and creative elite of the country. Relying on the rich heritage of the hydrotechnical faculty and the achievements of outstanding scientists, the institute forms a new generation of highly qualified engineers ready to solve the most complex problems of modern construction.

Today, voting for the elections of deputies of the Legislative Assembly of the region of the eighth convocation and to local government bodies has started in the Novosibirsk region. On September 12, the rector of NSU, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Mikhail Fedoruk, was one of the first to vote at polling station No. 1951, which is located in the rector's office building of Novosibirsk State University.

Mikhail Fedoryuk, voting for candidates for the Legislative Assembly of the Novosibirsk Region and the Council of Deputies of Novosibirsk, emphasized that we are choosing those people who will determine the future development of our region.

— By electing deputies, each of us will significantly influence how the legislative branch will work in the coming years, what the regional budget will be, whether all necessary measures will be implemented to develop the economy, scientific and technological, social sphere, to further increase salaries and pensions, to reform education and improve people's health, measures to combat corruption, crime and other significant aspects. If we want our lives to change for the better, it is important to come to the elections and fulfill the duty of a responsible citizen, — the rector of NSU noted.

From September 12 to 14, it will be possible to vote in Novosibirsk and the region both online and at polling stations.

In total, more than 2 million voters are registered in Novosibirsk Oblast, according to the Oblast Electoral Commission. All 1,757 polling stations in the region are equipped with video surveillance or video recording equipment.

NSU graduate studies spoken language of Akademgorodok residents

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Graduate Humanitarian Institute of NSU (Fundamental and Applied Linguistics) Ekaterina Kulyatina studied how the living conversational speech of the intelligentsia of the Novosibirsk Akademgorodok is structured. Her work expands the possibilities for research in the field of stylistics and genre theory, and also opens up prospects for teaching neural networks to understand the subtleties of human speech.

In the project, Ekaterina analyzed the recordings of memories of residents of Akademgorodok, paying special attention to the so-called modus – the subjective “superstructure” of the statement.

— If I say: it is raining — it is simply a fact. And if I say: it seems to be raining — I add doubt. That is the modus. There are many such semantic superstructures in the Russian language, and they can overlap, — Ekaterina explained.

The work is written within the framework of the structural-semantic approach, the founder of which is considered to be Viktor Vladimirovich Vinogradov. Within the framework of modern syntactic concepts, which Ekaterina Kulyatina relied on in her research (the theory of modeling elementary simple sentences, developed by Maya Ivanovna Cheremisina), the contradictions contained in V. V. Vinogradov's approach are overcome. Nevertheless, the structural-semantic approach allows solving a wide range of scientific problems. As Ekaterina Kulyatina explained, the dictum part of speech constructions is now very well described, many works on this topic have been published, but the modus component, which she emphasized in her work, has not yet been studied so well.

The student took the recordings for analysis from the project "Myths and Legends of Akademgorodok" and supplemented them with her own interviews. The sample consisted of interviews with ten respondents – people with a high level of proficiency in Russian, many of whom were engaged in scientific research work.

— In their speech, we saw a high density of meanings: complex phrases, participial and adverbial constructions. Such features make oral speech rich, but at the same time difficult to analyze — especially automatically, — noted Ekaterina.

According to the author of the project, understanding the mode is important not only for philology, but also for technology. In the future, such developments can be used in training neural networks so that they understand and convey not only facts, but also subjective shades of meaning.

“We are not yet at the stage where a computer can fully recognize and reproduce such nuances, but this is a logical next step,” she noted.

The results achieved within the framework of Ekaterina Kulyatina's diploma work may be useful for research in the field of stylistics and genre theory.

— We have outlined a methodology for describing the genre of memoirs from the point of view of structural and semantic features. This is useful both for stylistics and for teaching, — Ekaterina emphasized.

The graduate herself plans to slightly change the direction of her research during her master's studies, focusing on the automation of speech analysis.

"I want to try to teach the computer to extract modal meanings and compare the machine results with my manual ones. This will be an honest test of how technologically ready we are for such an analysis," Ekaterina concluded.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On September 11, 2025, the first stream of the educational program for teachers of higher education "Guides of Meanings. DNA of Russia" was launched at the State University of Management. The organizers of the program are the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs "Rosmolodezh", the State University of Management and the "DNA of Russia" project.

More than 300 employees from 60 universities, representing over 20 regions of the country, gathered at the SUM IT Center.

Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education Olga Petrova addressed the meeting participants with a welcoming speech, noting the high level of organization of the event by the State University of Management.

"Thank you to everyone who agreed to become our assistants in creating a sustainable value-based teaching framework, which is critically important for conveying meanings and values to students. The President set a national goal – to educate a harmoniously developed, socially responsible individual based on spiritual and moral values and historical traditions. In achieving this goal, teachers play a leading role. They are the ones who are examples for students. Only together can we implement what was conceived and achieve the set goal. Thank you, GUU, for not being afraid to be the first," Olga Viktorovna noted.

On behalf of the State University of Management, the audience was greeted by Vice-Rector Pavel Pavlovsky, who thanked the Russian Ministry of Education and Science for choosing the State University of Management as the launching pad for the new program.

"Rector Vladimir Stroyev often emphasizes the primary meaning of the word "state" in the name of our university. And the key tasks facing the state will be determined by the meanings and values that we will talk about today. I really like the name "DNA of Russia". I am sure that the community of teachers is a community of the smartest people in the country. And if we cannot explain to a student why he is studying and what his goal is after completing his studies, then this is a failure. And we will not allow this failure," concluded Pavel Vladimirovich.

Olga Petrova also gave a presentation on the role of a teacher in the context of the implementation of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of 07.05.2024 No. 309 "On the national development goals of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030 and for the perspective up to 2036". The Deputy Minister emphasized that each of the designated goals concerns education and gave examples of successful actions by universities to improve the relevant indicators.

The head of the educational program, President of the MAKO Association Olga Golyshenkova, spoke in more detail about the structure of the educational program, for the participation of which everyone gathered, and its main tasks. The expert noted that each teacher influences the perception and value systems of students and it is important to understand how to consciously influence the future of individuals and the country as a whole.

Tatyana Kuznetsova, Head of the Department for Work with Alumni of the Presidential Academy's Youth Policy Department, shared a successful example of creating a community of teachers, the "Club of Meaning Creators".

The scientific director of the “DNA of Russia” project, Vice-Rector of the Presidential Academy Andrey Polosin introduced those gathered to the history of the project’s creation and the worldview and values that were embedded in it.

During the two-day intensive course, participants will work in groups, formulating values and key meanings in practice, as well as discussing ways to convey them, will share successful cases and real-life experiences, and will also defend the results of their work.

It should be noted that the program "Conductors of Meanings. DNA of Russia" is a continuation of the program "Voice of a Generation. Teachers", one of the streams of which also took place in 2024 also at the State University of Management. The start of the program on September 11 marked the beginning of a series of 25 streams in universities throughout Russia.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Another work season of the Polytechnic student teams is coming to an end. As always, it brought a lot of new impressions, bright emotions and unusual experience. For Anna Kurakina from the service team "Altair" this summer was special. The 4th-year student of the IPMEiT majoring in "Human Resources Management" joined the headquarters of the All-Russian service project "Gelendzhik". As a foreman, she coordinated the activities of the joint student team of the same name.

The project participants worked in the hotels "METROPOL Grand Hotel Gelendzhik 5*" and "Primorye Grand Resort Hotel". 130 students from ten regions of Russia worked as maids, cooks, bartenders, waiters, laundry operators, housekeepers, creating a premium service for city guests. Before employment, each of them mastered an additional working profession for free.

For Anna Kurakina, participation in the all-Russian project was not accidental. Back in 2023, the girl took first place in the "Cook" competency at the professional skills competition of student service teams in St. Petersburg. In 2024, she entered the top three winners of this competition in the "Maid" competency at the city level and became the winner in the Northwestern Federal District.

"For me, the Gelendzhik project is, first of all, an opportunity to meet interesting people. Here, representatives of different regions exchange experiences, talk about themselves, this helps to develop the squad's horizons and take note of something," Anna shared her impressions of participating in the project. "I also tell everyone about the St. Petersburg squads, our traditions, events. It is very pleasant when the commander of one of the squads comes to you and says that he really liked "Svoy Zal" – a festival of non-professional short films shot by fighters of the student squads of St. Petersburg! Being a master of the all-Russian labor project is, of course, difficult, but no less interesting. Every day brings new challenges, and we solve them all together."
