On March 16, Deputy Speaker of the State Duma Pyotr Tolstoy addressed residents of the South-Eastern Administrative District at the State University of Management.

The first to speak was Vladimir Stroev, Rector of the State University of Management, who noted the long-standing friendship between the university and Petr Olegovich.

"We are honored that our district's deputy is delivering his report to the public at GUU. I would like to point out that this is far from the first time, and I'm sure it won't be the last. Our university has been training leaders for our country for nearly 150 years, and recently entered the top 10 alma maters of State Duma deputies of the 8th convocation, so such meetings at our venue are highly symbolic," said Vladimir Stroyev.

Next, Andrei Tsybin, secretary of the district branch of United Russia and prefect of the South-Eastern Administrative District, delivered a report. He emphasized the significant work Pyotr Tolstoy does for the residents of the South-Eastern Administrative District and noted the large-scale humanitarian work carried out by the district.

"Despite his position in the State Duma, Pyotr Olegovich also works on the district team; he's close to our needs and our problems. Every district head feels his support and turns to him for help. Furthermore, despite his busy schedule, Pyotr Tolstoy participates in humanitarian convoys and in aiding SVO participants, which is especially important today," said Andrey Tsybin.

Pyotr Tolstoy spoke to residents about the tasks accomplished during his tenure in the State Duma, noted the influence of the geopolitical situation on the agenda, and emphasized the importance of supporting not only the SVO participants but also their families.

"I see familiar faces in the audience; we've been in touch with many of them for over 10 years. And during this time, not only our district, but Moscow and all of Russia have changed dramatically. After the start of the special military operation, it was important to support the president's choice, the country's choice as a sovereign power, ready to fight for its freedom and independence. And I want to thank everyone who has been supporting those on the front lines and their families living in our district for several years now. We must remember these people and their heroism. This has been the main theme for me and my supporters over the past four years," emphasized Pyotr Tolstoy.

During the meeting, representatives from various districts and individual residents discussed the issues addressed with the deputy's direct involvement and shared their vision for the district's future development.

At the end of the meeting, Pyotr Tolstoy announced that he would run for the State Duma in the upcoming elections.

Finalists of the competition

From March 5th to 7th, the 5th International Competition "Tourism Code of My Country, City, Town, or District – PRO-Tourism" was held in Moscow. This project aims to create and develop new tourist routes and promote and develop the tourism industry in Russia. Students from SPbGASU participated in the competition for the first time.

This year, the competition received over 1,000 applications from 86 regions. The competition was held in two stages. The in-person semi-final round featured 450 selected entries from 74 federal regions.

SPbGASU was represented by students from the Urban Planning Department, Maria Kuznetsova, Gleb Ivanov, and Anastasia Leontyeva, under the guidance of Mikhail Vilensky, PhD in Architecture and Associate Professor of the Urban Planning Department. Their work was presented in the "Scientific and Industrial Tourism" category.

The project defenses took place at the Moscow University of Humanities and Technology – Moscow Institute of Architecture and Civil Engineering (MGTU-MASI). The contestants presented their projects to a panel of experts, including tourism and hospitality industry specialists. Maria Kuznetsova presented her project "Sosnovo: Where the Myths of the Kalevala Become Reality" at the in-person stage.

Our students' work proposes a new settlement model based on a tourism and recreational framework. This idea encourages peripheral areas to develop not only for recreation but also for tourism. The concept can be replicated in other communities with similar potential.

Following the competition, the SPbGASU student project was among the winners and awarded a second-degree diploma.

The competition program was packed with not only professional events but also cultural activities: participants were given a tour of MSTU-MASI, visited the Kremlin, the Izmailovo Estate, and the Rossiya National Center. The awards ceremony took place at Gostiny Dvor.

Kiy Island

As part of the real-world project work that SPbGASU students undertake during their studies, projects are being developed for various parts of Russia. For example, work began in February on a commission from the administration of the Onega Municipal District in the Arkhangelsk Region.

As part of the large-scale initiative "Concept for the Reconstruction of the Historic Center and the Development of Tourist Infrastructure in the City of Onega," a new architectural expedition was held for first-year master's students in the Department of Architectural Design, led by Associate Professor Alexandra Eremeeva. According to Alexandra, "the research topic is highly relevant, addressing the key challenges of contemporary urban development policy—the search for effective mechanisms for the revival of small historical settlements in northern Russia."

The expedition was organized at the request of the Onega city administration as part of the university's "Project-Based Learning" program, which initially gave it a practice-oriented focus. Significant support for the project came from Mikhail Aleksandrovich Mamoshin, a native of Onega, a graduate of St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, an academician of the Russian Academy of Arts, the Russian Academy of Architects and Construction Sciences, and the International Academy of Architecture in Moscow, and an Honored Architect of Russia.

Preparations for the expedition began in mid-2025 and included not only theoretical research but also productive business contacts. With the assistance of Mikhail Mamoshin, a working meeting was held in St. Petersburg with Vera Ponomareva, head of the Onega Municipal District of the Arkhangelsk Region, which allowed for the alignment of academic goals with the municipality's real-world needs. As a result, the students arrived on site with preliminary design concepts, rather than blank slates.

As Alexandra Eremeeva notes, "We are combining the development of the historic center and tourism in the Onega District. The town of Onega has deep roots in Pomor culture, and our goal is to use this heritage to improve the quality of life for residents and develop the district's tourism appeal. The two-year project will conclude with the defense of theses in June 2027, and the current expedition is a crucial step in gathering feedback from the local community, whose opinions are crucial for future work."

The expedition's program was very comprehensive. The district administration prepared a long itinerary that allowed for a deep appreciation of the local character. A key part of the expedition was the in-kind survey of the design sites. The cultural program included visits to the Onega Historical and Memorial Museum, Kiy Island, and the village of Vorzogory, home to a unique wooden architectural complex. These impressions and the collected materials will form the basis for further work.

Expedition participants: Master's students Valeria Trepykhalina, Angelina Savitskaya, Arina Tikhonova, Alexander Grekov, Sofya Galkina, Associate Professor of the Department of Architectural Design Alexandra Eremeeva, Head of the Onega District Vera Ponomareva, Master's student Svetlana Bryukhanova, employees of Mikhail Mamoshin's workshop Evgeniya Saenko and Alexey Matveenko (postgraduate student at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering)

The expedition included Alexey Matveenko, a graduate student in the Department of Architectural Design, whose research focuses on the architectural features of cultural centers. This provided the trip with additional research depth.

"The project's practical significance for the town of Onega is undeniable. The results of the two-year project will be shared with the administration for potential practical use. Furthermore, a series of scientific publications and presentations at relevant conferences are planned. Thus, the Onega-2050 project serves as a shining example of the successful symbiosis of education, science, and the real-world goals set by the municipality, confirming that student design can be an effective tool for the socioeconomic development of small towns," notes Alexandra Eremeeva.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade held an educational meeting on the fundamentals of lawmaking and participation in relevant competitions. The speaker was Varvara Bucherova, a graduate of the Higher School of Public Administration at the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade and Acting Chair of the Youth Parliament of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg. Participants included students from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and other leading St. Petersburg universities with a variety of programs, all interested in legislative practice and the development of legal competencies.

The event's goal was to improve young people's legal literacy and familiarize students with the mechanisms of the legislative process. Participants discussed how legislative initiatives are formed, where to find ideas for their development, and the stages necessary to prepare and formalize a bill.

Particular attention was paid to the practical aspects of legislative work. Students were shown examples of legislative initiatives at the federal and regional levels and were also informed about the rules for participating in the "My Bill" and "My Legislative Initiative" competitions, which Polytechnic students have been winning for several years. Participants were introduced to the structure of competition entries, the main requirements for their presentation, and the key criteria for project evaluation.

Today, we received a detailed explanation of how to properly formulate and structure legislative initiatives for the "My Legislative Initiative" and "My Bill" competitions. Now I have a clear understanding of where to begin working on my project and how to increase my chances of successful participation. Thanks to the organizers and Varvara Bucherova for visiting my beloved Polytechnic University! Anton Zubarev, a first-year student majoring in Public and Municipal Administration and ambassador for the career guidance project "Smolny School," shared his impressions.

The meeting was a great success among the students. According to the organizers, it was the first event in a planned educational series dedicated to developing legislative skills among young people.

The event is extremely important, as this year will see elections at various regional and federal levels. It will be especially important for young people to understand how to formulate bills, so they can demonstrate their potential for implementing legislative policy in the future, emphasized Georgy Uvarov, Deputy Chairman of the Council of Young Political Scientists at the Russian Political Science Association in St. Petersburg.

The organizers plan to continue the series of meetings.

On March 17, the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg will host a practical session with members of the Youth Parliament's Legislation Committee and a discussion of the participants' ideas. On March 21, a consultation meeting will be held with a specialist from the Legislation Committee of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg for in-depth development of the projects.

The organizers note that such events help students better understand the mechanisms of the legislative process and provide the opportunity to take the first steps in developing their own legislative initiatives. The IPMEIT and the Youth Parliament look forward to further developing their collaboration and invite students to join in on legislative efforts.

"For the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade, it is especially important that students acquire not only fundamental knowledge but also an understanding of how it is applied in the real world of public administration. Such meetings with practitioners allow students to gain an insight into the mechanisms of lawmaking, become familiar with current tools for developing legislative initiatives, and test their skills in this field. We are pleased that IPMEIT graduates continue to actively participate in university life and share their professional experience with students," noted Vladimir Shchepinin, Director of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade at SPbPU.

Polytechnic University scientists make a breakthrough in the fight against Alzheimer's

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Polytechnic University researchers have developed a new digital methodology for assessing the shape of synapses in brain neurons. The developed metrics allow for not just estimating size, but also describing their complex three-dimensional shape with high mathematical precision. This discovery will help researchers more quickly and accurately assess the effectiveness of substances that could become the basis for future drug treatments for various diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease. The results of the study were published in the prestigious scientific journal Bioinformatics.

In the most general sense, dendritic spines of neurons in the brain can be considered structures responsible for memory and learning in humans. These membrane projections on neurons are a component of the synapse and receive signals from other neurons.

In developmental brain diseases or severe neurodegenerative diseases, changes in the shape of spines are observed. Synapses change shape, degenerate, and connections between neurons deteriorate. One of the factors influencing the negative change in spine shape, and consequently their functioning, is the accumulation of beta-amyloid oligomers (so-called amyloid plaques, an altered form of the beta-amyloid protein), which begins long before the first clinical symptoms of Alzheimer's disease appear.

Researchers have traditionally classified spines into several types based on their shape (mushroom-shaped, thin, stumpy, etc.) using visual or semiautomated classification, or described them using simple numerical parameters (length, volume, head width, angles). Scientists at the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University have developed new numerical metrics that describe spine shape much more accurately.

We used the mathematical apparatus of spherical harmonics and Zernike moments. These methods have proven themselves in engineering for analyzing complex shapes. The novelty of our work lies in the fact that we are the first to apply three-dimensional mathematical shape descriptors to microscopic images of spines. Harmonics allow us to decompose a complex three-dimensional object into a sum of basic three-dimensional shapes with specific coefficients, and even reassemble them back into this shape with high accuracy using these coefficients. Zernike moments describe the object's shadow in different projections, which also very accurately characterizes its structure. Our proposed algorithm allows us to capture the highly complex, multifaceted shape of spines as if using a scanner," noted Daria Smirnova, a programmer at the Laboratory of Biomedical Image and Data Analysis at the Institute of Biomedical Systems and Biotechnology at SPbPU.

To test the effectiveness of the new tool, the scientists compared the spine shapes of healthy neurons and neurons in a brain model of Alzheimer's disease. Previous methods for assessing spine shape only showed a decrease in spine size during the disease. The new method, however, additionally revealed statistically significant shape redistributions across five different clusters. For example, amyloid toxicity increased the prevalence of elongated and atypical spines, which are difficult to classify traditionally but play an important role in understanding the mechanisms of neurodegeneration.

The value of this new method lies in its ability to more accurately analyze the response of damaged neuronal tissue to various chemicals, including experimental therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. This means we have a tool that allows us to see previously inaccessible subtle changes in spine shape. This is important in the search for a cure for Alzheimer's disease: our tool will allow researchers to more fully and accurately record the restoration of the shape of damaged spines under the influence of the test substance. Furthermore, in the future, this technology will enable the creation of a realistic 3D model of neurons, which can be used to train neural networks and virtually test medical hypotheses, saving time and money on complex biological experiments, noted Ekaterina Pchitskaya, Head of the Laboratory of Biomedical Image and Data Analysis at the Institute of Biomedical Systems and Biotechnology at SPbPU.

The research team's immediate plans include refining the method for characterizing very thin and elongated spines and integrating the development into the open-source software tool SpineTool, making it accessible to neuroscientists worldwide.

The study was supported by a grant from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation (FSEG-2024-0025) and a postgraduate research fellowship from the Idea Center for Advanced Interdisciplinary Research.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

International students at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University continue to explore Russian culture and history. This time, preparatory faculty students from Turkmenistan, Algeria, Vietnam, and China attended the poignant musical and dramatic performance "Relic," which was performed at the Na Mokhovaya Educational Theater at the Russian State Institute of Performing Arts.

The performance, dedicated to the tragic and heroic events of the Great Patriotic War, left a lasting impression on the foreign guests. Of particular interest was the fact that the actors on stage were students, not professional ones. Despite the performers' young age, their acting, vocal talent, and the depth of their emotions captivated the audience.

Senior teacher of supplementary education, Natalya Khaustova, who accompanied the students, shared that the Polytechnic students were delighted and expressed a desire to attend similar cultural events again. Students whose native language is not Russian admitted that the language barrier did not hinder their understanding of the production's main message.

Preparatory Department student Dilshatbek Masharipov shared his emotions: "This event was very valuable and impressive for me. I really enjoyed both the production itself and the theater's interior. I want to visit such places again and see other performances."

A particularly touching review came from student Dhikra Zorgani from Algeria. She admitted that at first, she couldn't even imagine the amount of emotion hidden behind the title of the production she saw.

"It was a real university excursion with my professor and friends. At first, I couldn't even imagine that the title could encompass so many emotions: a mixture of suffering, longing, joy, and sadness all at once," says Dhikra. "I really loved how the artists conveyed the suffering of mothers and families, how they expressed joy, longing, sadness, grief, war, and hope. All these mixed emotions resonated with us."

Such trips and excursions have become a long-standing tradition at the Polytechnic University. They not only help international students adapt to their new country and improve their language skills, but also introduce young people to global cultural values through Russian history and art.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On March 15, the final round of the All-Russian Student Olympiad "I Am a Professional" in Bioengineering and Bioinformatics took place at Novosibirsk State University. The competition lasted four hours.

The Olympiad finals were held simultaneously at several locations across the country—Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, and Sirius. A total of 205 students participated, with 44 students from six Russian regions taking part in the final round at the Novosibirsk location.

According to Marina Shashkova, the NSU Olympiad organizer, the finals are an in-person tournament in which participants complete written assignments over several hours.

Winners and prize winners of the Olympiad receive benefits when applying to master's and postgraduate programs, the opportunity to complete internships at leading Russian companies, and cash prizes for medalists.

As Olympiad participants note, the tasks allow them to test themselves in practice and encounter problems that differ from those typically encountered at university. Undergraduate student Victoria, who participated in the finals, said she chose the Bioengineering and Bioinformatics program because of its promising potential.

"I decided to participate in the Olympiad in this field because it's one of the most promising, along with biotechnology and genetics. It was interesting to see what you'd have to deal with in this field, because the Olympiad poses unconventional problems. It's more interesting than classes where you only get introductory material," Victoria shared.

According to the participant, her preparation for the final included studying the Olympiad specifications, recommended literature, and demo versions of assignments from previous years.

"For me, the most challenging task was the one related to the tertiary structure of proteins—we hadn't covered that, so it was challenging," Victoria said.

She also noted that participating in the Olympiad allows one to better understand their future profession and test their knowledge in new conditions:

— For those just planning to participate, I would advise extensive and thoughtful preparation—not only using neural networks, but also relying on reading lists and assignments from previous years.

This year, 588 students from NSU applied to participate in the qualifying round of the "I Am a Professional" Olympiad, and 196 advanced to the finals. NSU became the regional leader in the number of students reaching the finals. Novosibirsk State University is the organizer of the "Bioengineering and Bioinformatics" track within the Olympiad.

The final stage of the Olympiad at NSU provided a platform for students to test their knowledge of bioengineering and bioinformatics, as well as meet like-minded individuals and learn about the current challenges of this rapidly developing scientific field.

The All-Russian Student Olympiad "I Am a Professional" is one of the flagship projects of the presidential platform "Russia – Land of Opportunity." The project is being implemented as part of the national project "Youth and Children" with the support of the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Curator School has launched at Novosibirsk State University. The organizational meeting for the project, which is being implemented Department of Youth Policy and Educational WorkThe event took place on March 13. Experienced first-year student mentors attended, but the majority of those in attendance were university students who expressed interest in becoming mentors in the next academic year. This year, over 200 applications were submitted for the project, a record high compared to previous years.

Olga Yakovleva, Vice-Rector for Youth Policy and Educational Work at NSU, opened the meeting. She noted that the community of first-year mentors has been growing recently, and it is crucial to improve not only the number of mentors but also the quality of their work aimed at facilitating the adaptation of recent students and supporting them during their first year at the university.

"We hope that this audience includes more than just those who want to work with first-year students. We hope that you are willing to share and promote the university's values, that you want to make it better, and that the integration of first-year students into NSU's academic and social life is more effective," said Olga Yakovleva.

At the request of current first-year student mentors, the Curator School underwent significant changes this year: a full-fledged educational module was added, aimed at teaching the basics of pre-psychological support.

First-year mentors will also learn as much as possible about NSU's internal regulations, student social support measures, the organization of the academic process, exam schedules, and internet safety measures during three to four sessions led by subject-matter experts. Furthermore, mentors must have knowledge of university locations, student clubs, sports sections, and other associations.

"In my opinion, a mentor should be more than just an assistant; they should be a surrogate parent and a bit of a friend to the first-year student! They are a guide for the freshman into the world of NSU, able to support them in difficult situations and resolve conflicts within the group. However, a mentor should not subsequently assume 100% responsibility for their student or be in constant contact with them 24/7. Therefore, the goal of our school is to provide important and relevant information on the main areas of study at NSU and to teach mentors how to interact with first-year students. Using the acquired skills, a mentor will help the first-year student adapt to NSU," said Grigory Polivkin, head of the NSU Mentor School project and a graduate student in the Geological and Geophysical Faculty of NSU.

Classes will run until the end of April. This will be followed by a field trip to the Oleg Koshevoy Educational Park, where the School's program will continue with project-based activities, team-building training, and group activities.
