A delegation of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University's Youth Policy Department staff visited the Russian-Armenian University as part of the "Slavic Universities" project, which aims to develop and support the university community. In Yerevan, SPbPU UMP staff began active work with representatives of the RAU's Youth Policy Department.

The Polytechnic delegation included Ivan Khlamov, Head of the Youth Policy Department; Vladimir Migunov, Administrator of the Youth Trajectory Center; and Anastasia Akatova, Director of the Black Bears Student Sports Club.

"I was extremely impressed by the state of the Russian-Armenian University's extracurricular activities. The university's excellent infrastructure allows motivated students to implement their projects and ideas. I'd especially like to highlight the university's student technical lab. I'm glad the students are keeping up with the times and exploring modern technologies," Vladimir Migunov said, sharing his impressions of the trip.

RAU was represented by Rector's Advisor for Youth Affairs Hripsime Margaryan, Head of the Department of Educational Policy and Quality Assurance Ruzanna Ayrapetova, and Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs Marina Khachatryan.

The meeting provided an opportunity to discuss the issues surrounding student communities at the Russian-Armenian University, formulate goals and outline steps to achieve them, explore the community's life cycle, and define their mission and primary purpose.

We continued working in the pitching format: we presented and defended project solutions, integrated existing Polytechnic approaches, and selected the best ones. Through our joint efforts, we developed the first effective project solutions for developing student communities at RAU.

The partners not only exchanged experiences but also identified a development path for RAU's youth communities and worked on several projects with the cultural, creative, and sports communities. The experts also discussed the role of RAU's student community leader, ways to engage students in extracurricular activities, and created a practical foundation for the systematic development of a youth ecosystem and long-term cooperation between the universities.

Associate professors from the Higher School of Design and Architecture of the Civil Engineering Institute of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, Elena Ladik and Maria Drebezgova, took part in the 10th All-Russian Forum "Barkamp 2025."

The forum's business program included an expert session, "The Arctic as a Breakthrough Scientific and Technological Project for Russia," dedicated to the strategic objectives of developing the Russian Federation's Arctic zone. Participants discussed key development areas for the region: enhancing its attractiveness as a place to live and work, creating sustainable social and engineering infrastructure, implementing advanced technologies, and mechanisms for government and industry support for the implementation of innovative projects.

Elena Ladik and Maria Drebezgova participated in the session, presenting innovative projects for the development of Arctic and Far North territories. Under their guidance, ISI Master's student Yulia Demyanyuk contributed to the development of project concepts for the development of the Arctic residential environment. ISI Master's students Alexandra Sudarikova and Ekaterina Falaleeva developed projects related to the development of Arctic and northern tourism.

In recent decades, interest in developing the Arctic and Far North has been growing worldwide. Developing the Arctic zone is one of the most pressing challenges for the Russian Federation and requires the creation of infrastructure and an architectural environment that takes into account regional characteristics. This year, together with master's students from the Higher School of Design and Architecture of the Civil Engineering Institute, we focused our design work on issues of organizing the architectural environment in harsh climates and the search for a regional identity for northern territories. We plan to continue working on this topic next year, shared Elena Ladik.

The Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade at SPbPU ceremoniously opened a digital logistics training laboratory equipped with the support of AXELOT, a Russian software developer specializing in comprehensive supply chain management automation. The event was organized by the Graduate School of Industrial Management.

The classroom is designed for undergraduate and graduate students studying transportation, warehousing, and global logistics.

The company offers its own platform, AXELOT SCM, which integrates warehouse management, transportation, terminal management, ordering, and procurement processes. Its solutions help optimize logistics and improve business efficiency for clients in the retail, manufacturing, and logistics sectors. More than 1,000 companies in 18 countries use AXELOT's products and services.

At the opening ceremony of the educational laboratory, SPbPU Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs Lyudmila Pankova and AXELOT CEO Alexey Timashov signed a royalty-free software license agreement.

We signed a cooperation agreement with AXELOT in April of this year and, in such a short time, achieved an important result: the opening of a specialized logistics training class, where students study domestic software products widely used by businesses. This is a crucial component of the university's practice-oriented education and the preparation of young professionals for their successful future employment, emphasized Lyudmila Pankova.

The company donates its AXELOT WMS software products to the university andAXELOT TMS for conducting training sessions. Licenses are transferred by providing access to cloud services.

Our collaboration with the Polytechnic University is aimed at developing the industry's human resources at the intersection of information technology and logistics. The world is changing rapidly, technology is advancing, and specialists are already required to possess a broad range of skills: not only an understanding of their professional field but also the ability to work with specialized software products. At AXELOT, we actively support students in acquiring these in-demand competencies," noted AXELOT CEO Alexey Timashov.

Students who successfully complete logistics courses using AXELOT software receive not only a grade for the relevant course in the curriculum but also a special company certificate confirming their software skills and abilities. Young professionals can use this certificate on their resumes when applying for a job and in their Logistics Passport, a specialized online service that brings together employers, students, professors, and professional communities in the logistics field.

Working with partners is crucial for our institute, ensuring that the educational process is practice-oriented, relevant, and relevant. This is achieved through systematic, bilateral partnerships, as the primary goal of IPMEIT's educational activities is to train sought-after specialists with real-world competencies that meet current labor market demands, noted Vladimir Shchepinin, Director of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade, in his welcoming address to the partners.

In addition to software products, the company equipped the classroom with demonstration stands and donated textbooks and teaching aids for use with students.

Following the event, AXELOT faculty and students gave guests a tour of the IPMEiT campus.

At the international conference on food sovereignty in Africa, held in Addis Ababa, Russian universities and research institutes presented a range of educational and technological initiatives aimed at supporting the continent's agricultural sector. The Polytechnic University, as the coordinator of the Russian-African Network University (RAFU) consortium, participated in the thematic session "The Contribution of Russian Universities to Ensuring Food Security in Africa."

The continent has everything it needs not only to feed itself but also to contribute to global food security. Within the next 10-20 years, African countries will be able to transition from growing crops for domestic consumption to accumulating export potential. This potential must be turned into reality. And here, we, Russia's leading universities, are ready to share our technologies and developments," noted Maxim Zalyvsky, head of the RAFU project office.

Irina Abramova, Director of the Institute for African Studies at the Russian Academy of Sciences, presented current projects and discussed the Clean Water initiative, which aims to ensure access to water for agriculture.

Irina Timoshenkova, Deputy Director of the Institute of Biomedical Systems and Biotechnology at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, participated in the session, along with representatives from other leading Russian universities: Rosbiotech, Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, St. Petersburg State Agrarian University, and the National Research University Higher School of Economics. They showcased their educational programs and research developments in agricultural technology, veterinary science, and biosafety.

Dmitry Arsenyev, Vice-Rector for International Affairs at SPbPU, emphasized that access to innovation must be accompanied by the training of qualified personnel. Programs to train specialists for the agricultural sector in African countries are currently being actively implemented. The RAFU's activities are aimed at uniting the efforts of universities in our countries and launching joint educational programs that will accelerate the training of personnel for the African economy, he added.

Ethiopian students also learned about admission opportunities to the Polytechnic University through the Russian Government quota and the Open Doors: Russian Scholarship project, and learned more about the main educational programs and pre-university preparation programs.

The conference was part of Russia's systematic efforts to strengthen scientific, educational, and technological partnerships in line with the goals of Africa's Agenda 2063. Previously, a RAFU delegation, led by the consortium coordinator, Peter the Great Polytechnic University, and the Russian House in Addis Ababa, held Russian Education Day and negotiations at the African Union headquarters regarding the signing of a cooperation agreement with the Pan-African University.

December 3 is a memorial date established in 2014 by decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin to mark the anniversary of the reburial of the ashes of an unknown defender of Moscow who died in 1941 on the outskirts of the capital. It was on December 3, 1966, the 25th anniversary of the defeat of German troops outside Moscow, that the Eternal Flame was lit at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier near the Kremlin Wall.

This day is not just a tribute, but a recognition: in the history of the Great Patriotic War, millions of lives remain nameless. According to the General Staff, the Red Army suffered irreparable losses of 8.6 million people, and more than two million of them are still considered missing in action. For thousands of families, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is the only place to honor the memory of their fathers and grandfathers, whose names have not been preserved in the archives, but whose heroism remains forever etched in history.

The idea for this date belongs to the activists of the Search Movement of Russia, who undertake expeditions every spring and fall to find the remains of the fallen, establish their names, and restore lost memories to their families. Their work is not only based on archaeology and forensics, but also on humanism: every soldier found is not ashes, but a person with a name, dreams, and loved ones.

The traditions of Unknown Soldier Day are simple and restrained: laying flowers at the Eternal Flame, observing a moment of silence, and holding vigils of remembrance. Red carnations, a symbol of courage and spilled blood, are most often carried to the monuments. Schools hold "Lessons of Courage," libraries and museums host thematic exhibitions, and universities host commemorative gatherings. All of these are united by a single goal: to pass on historical memory to new generations.

In 2025, the central event was the opening of the exhibition "Faces of Unidentified Heroes" at the Victory Museum on Poklonnaya Hill. On display for the first time were 20 graphic portraits of soldiers, whose likenesses were reconstructed by scientists from the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology of the Russian Academy of Sciences based on remains found in mass graves. On the opening day, a ceremony was held to present the Order of the Red Star to the relatives of Junior Sergeant Nikolai Klushin, a soldier from the 191st Rifle Division who died 80 years ago—another step in restoring their names.

In addition, the Victory Museum is hosting a panel session on the role of science and technology in search work, and the G.O.R.A. branch of the museum is hosting an exhibition on the history of monuments to the Unknown Soldier throughout Russia.

Unknown Soldier Day reminds us: a heroic deed doesn't require a name to be significant. But everyone who gave their life for their country deserves to be remembered with gratitude.
