On January 31, the XXXIV International Competition of Scientific Research Papers was held under the auspices of All-Russian Society of Scientific Researchers PTScinesBased on its results, Alexey Barbashov, a master's student in the Department of Construction Management at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, was awarded a third-degree diploma for his research on "Analysis of Methods for Organizing the Reconstruction of Sports Facilities."

The work also received approval from the professional community at the LXXVIII National Scientific and Practical Conference of Students, Postgraduates, and Young Scientists, "Current Issues of Modern Construction," held at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering in October of last year.

The research supervisor was Roman Motylev, Head of the Department of Construction Organization, Candidate of Technical Sciences, and Associate Professor.

In his work, Alexey Barbashov examines the current challenges of reconstructing sports facilities within existing infrastructure. Particular attention is paid to implementing projects while maintaining the facilities' operational status—a task of significant socioeconomic significance, particularly in dense urban environments.

The study analyzed the organizational, technological, economic, and managerial aspects of sports facility renovation. Key constraints were identified, including spatial logistics, the non-compliance of outdated facilities with modern regulatory requirements, and financial and regulatory barriers.

The author proposes approaches to optimizing construction and installation work based on adaptive planning, the use of digital management tools (including BIM technologies), and the implementation of energy-efficient solutions. The author also substantiates the effectiveness of hybrid financing models and the multifunctional transformation of sports facilities, ensuring their long-term sustainability and commercial viability.

We congratulate Alexey and his supervisor on this well-deserved recognition and wish them continued scientific achievements!

Novosibirsk State University announced the results of the selection round. Physics Olympiad "Your Path to Real Science", which was held in December not only in Russia but also, for the first time, in foreign countries. Over 100 international students from African countries—Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Guinea—as well as China, participated in the Olympiad. Twenty-six participants advanced to the final round: 11 from China, 14 from Mali, and one from Niger. The Center for Public Diplomacy co-organized the Olympiad in Africa, and partners of Novosibirsk State University co-organized the Olympiad in China.

All students from non-CIS countries who made it to the final round are prize winners in the qualifying round, not only among international participants, but also among all Olympiad participants, of which there are more than 1,000 this year.

NSU and the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences have been holding the Physics Olympiad for schoolchildren, “Your Path to Real Science,” since 2019. However, it has a long-standing tradition that dates back to the 1970s and 80s and is based on the format of entrance examinations. Faculty of Physics of NSUThe Olympiad is designed for students in grades 8–11 and aims to develop their physical intuition through solving both standard physics problems and unique assessment and demonstration problems. "Your Path to Real Science" is included in the list of the Russian Council of School Olympiads (RSOSH) and has been assigned a second-level rating.

"We were very pleased with the results of the selection round for international schoolchildren. It's important to note that we did not adapt or simplify the tasks for international participants. The results showed that the level of preparation of schoolchildren in China significantly exceeds that of other countries, which is likely due to the high level of competition and prestige of education in China. Nevertheless, talented students whose work stands out for its quality are also found in other countries. In particular, there are many such students from Mali. We look forward to seeing them at the final round, where they will be presented with interesting, non-standard problems, such as an evaluation problem and a demonstration problem," commented Artur Pogosov, Chairman of the Olympiad's Methodological Committee, Doctor of Physics and Mathematics, and Head of the Department of General Physics at the Faculty of Physics at NSU.

"The university sees one of the main goals of holding Olympiads abroad as supporting international students' interest in pursuing natural sciences and identifying the most talented and motivated students. This, in turn, positively impacts the prestige and image of Novosibirsk State University and Russian higher education. Therefore, a decision has been made to expand the geographic reach of Olympiad participants next year by adding new venues in various countries," said Evgeny Sagaydak, Head of the NSU Education Export Department.

The final round for citizens of Russia, the CIS, and other countries will take place on March 22. Winners and runners-up of the final round will have the opportunity to enroll at NSU and other leading Russian universities without entrance examinations.

On February 19-20, the most favorable conditions for observing Mercury will occur at the latitude of Novosibirsk this year.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The second half of February is a favorable time for observing Mercury, the planet closest to the Sun. The best days are February 19–20, when the planet will be at its highest altitude above the horizon at sunset and will be visible for more than an hour afterward, according to Alfia Nesterenko, head of the Vega Observatory at the NSU Physics Faculty.

"On February 19, Mercury reaches its greatest elongation during this evening appearance, when it is at its greatest angular distance from the Sun. Then, the angular distance between Mercury and the Sun in our sky will gradually begin to decrease. Ultimately, the planet will spend less and less time above the horizon, its brightness will begin to diminish, and by February 25-27, it will finally disappear into the rays of the evening dawn," explained Alfia Nesterenko.

Mercury is a relatively rare guest in the evening sky. This planet is closest to the Sun; in its apparent motion across the sky, Mercury follows the star and does not stray far from it, so its fainter glow is not noticeable in the Sun's light.

"The best time to observe Mercury is during the week following its greatest angular distance from the Sun, which occurs every two to three months—for example, six times in 2026. And this period began in the second week of February. You can find this small planet immediately after sunset in the southwestern horizon or at dawn," explained Alfia Nesterenko.

At the same time, the brighter Venus is visible just below Mercury. Both planets will be visible on February 18, when they will be near the Moon.

"Novosibirsk has a more favorable weather forecast for February 20, so city residents and amateur astronomers have the opportunity to observe the planet closest to the Sun and take photographs. To compare the size of Mercury relative to the solar disk, you can look at the photographs taken by our observatory during its transit across the Sun in 2016. The next pair of transits will be in 2032 and 2039," added Alfiya Nesterenko.

*A Mercury transit is an astronomical phenomenon in which the planet moves precisely between the Sun and an observation point (Earth, spacecraft, etc.). During a transit, Mercury appears as a tiny black dot moving across the Sun.

120th anniversary of the birth of Agniya Barto

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

For millions of children, the poet's lines are familiar from childhood and have remained ingrained in their memories for a lifetime. "They dropped the teddy bear on the floor," "The bull walks along, swinging," "The bunny's owner abandoned her"—these aren't just quotes from poems; they represent an entire world where favorite toys come to life and kindness is felt by the very youngest. Even after many years, they warm the heart and remind us of simple truths.

Childhood, family and education

Agnia was born on February 17, 1906, in Lithuania. Her family later moved to Moscow, where her mother worked as a housewife and her father as a veterinarian. Her childhood was filled with a love of books and rhymes: her intelligent parents taught her to read from Leo Tolstoy and recited Ivan Krylov's fables before bed. Agnia then attended a prestigious gymnasium and, concurrently, the Lydia Nelidova Ballet School. She later entered the Choreographic School. After graduating in 1924, Agnia served in the ballet troupe for a year.

Early attempts at writing and career development

Her first poems were born while she was still studying at the academy. People's Commissar of Education Anatoly Lunacharsky attended a graduates' demonstration concert and, admiring her poetry reading, invited her to join him. At the People's Commissariat, he convinced Agnia that her talent should serve children.

To make a final decision, Barto turned to her friend, idol, and renowned poet Vladimir Mayakovsky. She attended his performance, and at the end of the evening, Vladimir pointed to the children in the audience and said, "That's who I should write for." So, Agnia decided to write for them. Anna Akhmatova became another poetic inspiration for the budding poet.

By 1925, her first poems, "Teddy Bear the Thief" and "Little Chinese Van Li," were published. She also co-wrote "Counting Rhyme," "The Grimy Girl," and "The Crying Girl" with her first husband and poet, Pavel Barto. In 1927, the couple had their first child, Edgar, who died in 1945 when he was hit by a truck. Her second husband was Andrei Shcheglyaev, a correspondent for the USSR Academy of Sciences, with whom Agnia had a daughter, Tatyana. Although Barto preferred to "seek out" her heroes in schools and pioneer camps, the famous lines "Our Tanya cries loudly" are dedicated specifically to her.

In 1936, a true miracle of children's literature occurred: the publication of the famous collection "Toys," which became the poetess's most popular poem cycle. The celebrated poems "Little Bull," "Bunny," "Bear," and "Ball" became integral parts of young readers' lives, teaching them empathy and caring. Equally popular were the collections "Funny Poems" and "Poems for Children."

The Great Patriotic War and social activities

Agniya Barto was a supporter of Soviet power and reflected its values in her educational poems. She emphasized the importance of discipline, accuracy, and hard work.

During the Great Patriotic War, Agnia's family was evacuated to Sverdlovsk, where she learned the trade of a lathe operator and worked at the factory alongside everyone else. Teenagers also worked there, inspiring her to portray the children of war in her works ("In the Days of War" (1941), "Zvenigorod" (1947)). For her labor achievements, she was awarded a prize, which she donated to the construction of a tank. After the war, the writer held literary evenings in orphanages, bringing much-needed warmth and attention to orphans.

A deep desire, even a need, to help people led her to create her own program, "Find a Person," on Mayak Radio in 1965. For eight years, letters of remembrance from those who had lost their families were read weekly. Thanks to this, thousands of people were able to find their loved ones.

Agniya Barto became one of the most celebrated Russian children's poets. Her poems have been translated into numerous languages and are still heard in every home with children. For her work, she was awarded the Lenin Prize and became a second-degree Stalin Prize laureate, but her greatest reward is her vast literary legacy and the bright, happy childhood she has given to several generations.

Happy Russian Student Brigades Day!

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On February 17, 2004, the All-Russian youth public movement "Russian Student Brigades" was founded at the All-Russian Forum of Student Brigades in Moscow. For many years, it has united over 400,000 students from 85 regions into a large, friendly family with shared ideas and goals!

The RSO traces its roots to 1959, when Moscow State University students went to the virgin lands of Kazakhstan, initiating the movement of voluntary student construction brigades. Over the following decades, the movement became nationwide, with new branches emerging: teaching, agricultural, service, and guide brigades. By the mid-1980s, the All-Union Student Brigade had over 800,000 members.

Students from the State University of Management, then known as the Moscow Engineering and Economics Institute, also participated in construction teams. Among them were future SUM employees: Vladimir Godin, professor of the Information Systems Department; Alexey Lyalin, rector; Nikolay Nesterov, deputy chairman of the primary trade union of SUM employees; Alexander Raichenko, professor of the Department of Management Theory at the Institute of Public Administration and Law; and others. It was they who, through their own efforts, built our modern campus!

Today, we congratulate the members of the student and teaching teams of the State University of Management, all the participants and veterans of the movement, on this holiday! We wish that your work in the movement and in the virgin lands brings you joy, inspires you to new achievements, and unites you even more strongly with the team! After all, you, like no one else, understand that being its honor is a great pride and responsibility!

Thank you for your tireless work and example of responsibility, leadership, and hard work!

On this holiday, we'll tell you about some of the movement's interesting traditions that remain to this day:

Wearing virgin lands. On the back is a design including the name of the unit, educational institution, nature of activity, unit emblem, and the name of the administrative territory in which the unit was formed. On the front of the virgin lands are patches distinguishing the unit's rank, unit profile, virgin lands, and unit badges. Holidays. New Year's Day is celebrated on the virgin lands on the night of July 31st to August 1st, Defender of the Fatherland Day is celebrated on July 23rd, and International Women's Day is celebrated on August 8th. Symbolic weddings are most often a tradition among construction workers, who work side by side throughout the season. Soldiers are assigned roles—bride and groom, best men, relatives—which are performed throughout the evening. Songs accompany the boys during joint work or rest, and are sung around a campfire with the accompaniment of a guitar. The Eaglet Circle is formed during singing: one hand is placed on the shoulder of a neighbor, the other on the waist, and no one can leave the circle at this moment.

The end of the Korsun-Shevchenko operation

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On February 17, 1944, the Korsun-Shevchenkovsk operation, also known as the Korsun or Cherkasy cauldron, ended.

Korsun Cauldron

The offensive operation by troops of the 1st and 2nd Ukrainian Fronts began on January 24 and was part of the Soviet strategic offensive in Right-Bank Ukraine. The primary objective of the Soviet forces was to encircle and destroy large enemy groups located in the Korsun and Shevchenkov area.

Cold, snow, and mud complicated the actions of both sides. Despite this, Soviet troops demonstrated incredible courage and fortitude. Their task was nearly impossible: to close the encirclement and prevent the enemy from breaking out. This was more than just a military success. It was a victory of fortitude.

34% of the encircled German forces were destroyed, and two army corps ceased to exist. Furthermore, our soldiers captured significant trophies, including tanks, artillery, and ammunition.

This victory became an important stage on the path to the liberation of all of Ukraine and the further advance of Soviet troops to the West.

Memories of a battle participant

Among the soldiers who fought to the last to stop the enemy was Mikhail Gureev, who worked at the Main Directorate of Management after the war. A soldier's recollections:

"Near the town of Korsun-Shevchenkivskyi, our troops surrounded a large group of retreating Germans. Maintaining the encirclement, we waged extremely difficult defensive battles to destroy the enemy. The enemy attacked our positions day and night, aiming to break through the defenses and escape the encirclement. The Nazis managed to concentrate a large strike force on a narrow section of the front, and at night they broke through our defenses and, what's more, encircled the 240th Division and our mortar regiment. Encircled, we fought off German attacks for over two weeks, suffering heavy losses in manpower and equipment. The enemy was also weakened. We ran out of mines, ammunition, food, and even had serious problems with water. I don't know how it would have all ended if we hadn't received assistance from the Czechoslovak Brigade, which, on the orders of the 40th Army commander, routed the Germans in our regiment's sector, and we, with the remnants of our men and equipment, escaped the encirclement."

The memory of the heroism of soldiers and officers lives in our hearts, and we will pass it on to future generations.

On February 16, the State University of Management presented a comprehensive study to the State Duma on the role of Russian Student Teams (RST) in the country's socioeconomic development.

The presentation was part of events celebrating RSO Day: a conference on the role of student brigades in training personnel for the country's economy and a roundtable discussion on legislative support for employment, including through student brigades.

Representatives of the movement, competition winners, and heads of regional branches of the RSO met with Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Tatyana Golikova, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Alexander Zhukov, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Youth Policy and graduate of the State University of Management Artem Metelev, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Youth Policy and Chairman of the RSO Supervisory Board Mikhail Kiselev, Chair of the Board of the Russian Student Brigades Yulia Drozhzhina, State Duma deputies, and representatives of the Government of the Russian Federation and federal executive bodies.

Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, Grigory Gurov, Head of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs and Associate Professor of the State University of Management's Department of Public and Municipal Administration, and Natalya Pushkareva, Director of the 14-35 Center for Sociological Research, presented a monograph on a comprehensive study of the role of the RSO in the country's socioeconomic development. The study was conducted by the 14-35 Center for Sociological Research of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science with the support of the Russian Science Foundation.

"For universities, the topic of interaction between educational organizations and employers is especially relevant today. We strive to prepare specialists with general scientific fundamental knowledge in various fields, who meet market demands, and who share traditional spiritual and moral values and strive to contribute to their country. This requires a well-established system of interaction between the university and employers, which can be built using the extensive experience of Russian Student Teams," said Vladimir Stroyev.

Grigory Gurov drew the audience's attention to the importance of internships and practical training for choosing a professional path.

"Together with a large team, including the State University of Management, we are creating a new order, taking into account new economic challenges, so that young people can feel like an important part of the country's development—part of a unified economy. To this end, we are implementing initiatives within the framework of the national project "Youth and Children," including for the youngest students—"First in Profession" from the Movement of Firsts, and "More Than Just a Job" for students and young professionals. Russian student brigades are the driving force behind this ambitious effort," noted the head of Rosmolodezh.

The monograph combines theoretical, sociological, and economic approaches, revealing the multifaceted contribution of the student brigades movement to addressing key national challenges. The study's key findings emphasize that student brigades not only contribute to addressing current socioeconomic challenges (youth employment, regional development, and industry support) but also build a talent pool and strengthen civic identity and social cohesion. Based on these studies, recommendations are proposed for optimizing student brigades' interactions with educational institutions, businesses, and the government.

The meeting also included a ceremony to present diplomas from the 10th International Competition for the Best Scientific and Educational Publication, "Academus," to the team of authors of the monograph.

International Nuclear Education: Polytechnics at Obninsk Winter School

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The 3rd International Obninsk Tech Winter School, an educational program of the Obninsk.Tech project, concluded in Obninsk. Held at the Obninsk Institute of Atomic Energy of the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI (a flagship university of the Rosatom State Corporation), with the support of Rosatom, the school brought together 125 undergraduate and graduate students from around the world.

Participants included students from international educational programs at the Institute of Power Engineering of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. For SPbPU representatives, this week was not only an opportunity to deepen their professional knowledge but also a significant milestone in their personal and international professional development.

The educational program traditionally focused on three key areas: fundamental theory, practical laboratory work, and technical tours of nuclear industry facilities. Leading industry experts and Rosatom ambassadors shared their experiences with the participants during the lecture series. The lectures were aimed at broadening their professional horizons and developing a strategic vision for the development of nuclear energy.

The practical part took place in the modern scientific laboratories of the Institute of Nuclear Power Engineering (INPhI) at MEPhI. Students worked in the areas of dosimetry, radiation monitoring, electronics and automation for nuclear power plants, electrical engineering, 3D modeling, non-destructive testing, and materials science. This format allowed participants to consolidate their theoretical knowledge and acquire applied competencies in demand in the international nuclear industry.

A separate section of the program included technical tours to Rosatom State Corporation's flagship facilities and high-tech enterprises in the Kaluga Region—the Rosatom Technical Academy, the IPPE Institute, the A.F. Tsyb Moscow Regional Nuclear Research Center, the LUCH Research Center, and other organizations. Participants had the opportunity to explore unique installations and practical aspects of the peaceful application of nuclear technology.

A key event for many students was a visit to the world's first nuclear power plant. Among them was IE student Anas Abuhajras (Palestine). He says even a return visit doesn't diminish the emotion: "This experience was both captivating and amazing. Visiting the birthplace of nuclear energy is a tremendous honor. Even being here for the second time, I experienced the same emotions as the first. Learning about the workings of nuclear facilities and medical centers was incredibly fascinating."

According to Anas, the school's greatest value lies in its international professional community: "Without initiatives like these, bringing together students from different countries who speak the same professional language would be impossible. It's a chance to exchange ideas and work together to solve real-life engineering cases at hackathons. It's been an incredibly enriching experience."

The international nature of the participants allowed for an open dialogue about the development of the nuclear industry in various countries. Student Sizakele Kumalo (South Africa), also representing IE, noted the significance of participating in the global project: "Being part of this international project was a truly wonderful and amazing experience. I was delighted that my institute supported this initiative. The Winter School allowed me to better understand and explore various areas of nuclear technology and their applications through lectures, practical classes, technical tours, and, of course, live interaction with people from diverse cultures."

Student Samuel Gebreninsae (Eritrea) emphasized the harmonious combination of a rich professional program and the cultural component: "The program was very intensive, but the visit to the first nuclear power plant was a turning point for me. It gave me a direct understanding of the origins of the industry."

Over the course of a week, participants worked on projects as part of HackAtom, a team-based engineering intensive aimed at finding original solutions for the application of nuclear technology and the development of the industry. The project defenses marked the logical conclusion of the program. At the closing ceremony, students were awarded certificates of professional development, and the winning teams of HackAtom and the Atomic Triathlon received awards.

As Tatyana Osipova, Director of the Obninsk.Tech project office, noted, holding the school is of strategic importance for strengthening Obninsk's position as a global center for nuclear education and developing an international professional community.

The participation of students from the Institute of Power Engineering at SPbPU in the Obninsk Tech Winter School was an important step in developing their professional competencies, expanding their international connections, and fostering sustainable motivation to work in the global nuclear industry.

Guarding the Motherland: What it's like to serve in the UAV Troops

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

A Russian Armed Forces soldier and drone operator with the call sign "Boroda" gave an interview to Ivan Kolomeytsev, Associate Professor at the Higher School of Social Sciences at the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University Institute of Humanities. They discussed the importance of unmanned forces, in-demand professions, and what might help motivate someone to join the ranks of defenders of the Fatherland.

Our guest is an active officer, twice awarded the Order of Courage. He joined the military at the call of his country, to defend it. He initially just tried out UAVs, but he got good at them and developed them into a military specialty.

The guest talked about the team atmosphere and whether it's difficult to adapt: "Our team is normal, everything is good and fun. Yes, there are work-related moments, and there's no time for jokes, but when we get back to our positions, it's fine: we drink tea, watch movies, and talk."

The soldier explained that serving in the unmanned forces requires a good understanding of maps and navigation skills. Computer gamers who use joysticks are very comfortable with the task. Controlling a drone requires well-developed motor skills.

Currently, UAV operators are in high demand in the Armed Forces.In addition, IT specialists are needed to reprogram the drones and engineers to assemble them and troubleshoot them.

Serving in unmanned combat forces is considered one of the safest positions in combat zones. Such soldiers don't need to get close to the enemy, as drones fly over long distances.

At the end of the meeting, our guest offered advice to young people considering joining the drone force: What advice would you give to those who are hesitant? You could think about it and do more research. You could also take training, which is possible in civilian life. You'll then be able to see how much you enjoy it. If you enjoy it, we'd be delighted to see you. Unfortunately, there aren't many people in this field right now because few are skilled at operating drones.
