For the second year, the Times Higher Education (THE) ranking agency, which publishes a family of international university rankings, together with the American Schmidt Science Fellows foundation, has published a ranking assessing the effectiveness of universities in interdisciplinary research – THE Interdisciplinary Science Rankings 2026 (ISR).

This year, Polytechnic University is featured in this ranking for the first time and immediately entered the top 400 universities worldwide for interdisciplinary research. Among Russian universities, SPbPU shares 10th and 11th place with Kazan Federal University. A total of 1,267 higher education institutions worldwide participated in this year's ranking, including 51 from Russia.

"Our university emphasizes interdisciplinary research as a driver of progress and the formation of the university of the future. Innovative projects such as the high-tech production of power engineering components demonstrate the synergy of competencies in digital modeling, materials science, and energy. Polytechnic University also promotes interdisciplinary approaches in education. The MetaCampus Polytechnic University virtual system creates the conditions for acquiring comprehensive skills in digital technologies, architecture, and management. These are just a few examples reflecting the university's high level of technological development and motivating teams from various fields to unite to create world-class developments," commented SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy.

In today's world, scientific breakthroughs rarely occur in a narrow, isolated field. It is at the intersection of disciplines that the most daring ideas and solutions are born. Interdisciplinary research at our university is not just a trendy trend, but a fundamental principle that allows us to create synergies and open new horizons, noted Vice Rector for Human Resources Maria Vrublevskaya.

The ISR methodology is based on an analysis of 11 indicators divided into three groups corresponding to the life cycle of a research project: inputs (19% of the total weight), ongoing activities (process, 16% of the total weight), and outputs (65% of the total weight). Within these groups, indicators such as funding for interdisciplinary research, including from industry, administrative support and promotion, as well as the quantity and quality of cross-disciplinary scientific publications were assessed.

On November 21, 1991, a significant event occurred in the history of science and education in Russia: by decree of then-President Boris Yeltsin, the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) was established.

Its creation was a response to the challenges of the time, when the country needed to update its scientific approach and introduce modern research methods.

The Academy united numerous scientific institutes and laboratories, creating a powerful platform for scientific activity. The Russian Academy of Sciences became a hub for scientists to exchange ideas, conduct joint research, and develop innovative projects.

Today, the Russian Academy of Sciences continues to actively develop, introducing new scientific directions and attracting a younger generation of scientists to scientific activities.

The State University of Management actively collaborates with the Academy and fully supports initiatives aimed at developing science and education. The university houses a Student Design Bureau and several research centers, and conducts ongoing research and development. An Advanced Engineering School has been established jointly with the M.D. Millionshchikov State Petroleum Technological University.

We congratulate all scientists, academics, and students on this significant date and wish them continued success in their scientific endeavors. May the academics' achievements inspire a new generation of researchers to make discoveries and accomplishments for the benefit of society and the country.

This Friday is doubly wonderful than any other, because today marks the birthday of Nikolai Mikhailov, Advisor to the Rector's Office of the State University of Management, Associate Professor, and PhD in Geographical Sciences.

There's probably not a single person on our university floor who doesn't know Nikolai Nikolaevich: his smile encourages applicants, his penetrating gaze inspires a desire to learn, and his ironclad character keeps all the admissions staff and faculty of the Ecology and Nature Management program on their toes.

Nikolai Mikhailov, a true member of the Russian Geographical Society, has traveled throughout the country, from the southern seas to the Arctic Circle, and understands the unique characteristics of different regions like no one else.

On this day, we wish him many more years to maintain his youthful spirit, positive attitude, and cheerfulness, so that he can continue to make our university even better and more effective.

On November 20, Russia and more than 120 other countries around the world celebrate World Children's Day.

In 1954, the UN General Assembly recommended that all countries establish the practice of celebrating this date as a day of world brotherhood and mutual understanding among children, dedicated to activities aimed at ensuring the well-being of children throughout the world.

The date is no coincidence – it was on this day that the UN General Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1959, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989, according to which a child is every human being under the age of 18.

The purpose of this holiday is to remind adults of the fragility of childhood, the value of every child, and the need to protect and help in various situations.

The State University of Management always cares for its students, including potential ones. SUM has a Pre-University, where 10th- and 11th-grade students gain in-depth knowledge in three fields in a comfortable and safe environment. Four mother-and-child rooms are open in different buildings on campus. The university participates in the Entrepreneurship Classes program in Moscow, hosts various Olympiads and competitions, and as part of the Business and Entrepreneurship Course, our staff and students organize shifts at the country's largest children's centers: Artek, Orlyonok, Smena, and Okean.

We congratulate everyone on this important holiday and encourage you to do something good every day for the benefit of children, teenagers, and young adults. After all, we all need care and protection, no matter our age, but especially in childhood.

On November 20, 1945, the International Military Tribunal began its work in Nuremberg to try the former leaders of Nazi Germany. The Nuremberg Trials became the first example of international justice in modern history.

The Six Million Word Process

The Nuremberg Trials were a series of military tribunals held by the Allies of the anti-Hitler coalition against the major criminals of the Third Reich, those responsible for the deaths of millions. Specific individuals and entire organizations were charged with inhumane crimes.

Twenty-four senior Nazi leaders appeared before the International Military Tribunal. The deaths of Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, and Joseph Goebbels were officially confirmed before the trial began.

The meeting also considered the issue of recognizing as criminal the leadership of the National Socialist Party (NSDAP), its storm troopers (SA) and security forces (SS), the security service (SD) and the secret state police (Gestapo), as well as the government cabinet, the General Staff and the High Command (OKW) of Nazi Germany.

The process of bringing justice to those who unleashed the massacre and were responsible for the deaths of millions lasted almost a year.

The trial began on November 20 and lasted nearly 11 months. 403 hearings were held, over 240 witnesses were heard, and hundreds of thousands of documents were reviewed. During the investigation, 690 boxes of documents, each containing 1,500 pages, and approximately 200,000 written witness statements were collected.

The trial was broadcast simultaneously in four languages: Russian, English, French, and German. For the first time in history, a simultaneous translation system was used. Because of the number of words translated during the trial, it is also known as the "Six Million Word Trial."

Sentences and results

Twelve defendants were sentenced to death by hanging. Most of them requested a commutation of their sentences, replacing the gallows with a firing squad, but their request was denied. The criminals were executed on the night of October 15–16, 1946, in the gymnasium of Nuremberg Prison, each one in turn. However, Göring committed suicide in his cell a few hours before his execution by taking a cyanide capsule.

Three people received life sentences, while the others received prison terms ranging from 10 to 20 years. Three more defendants were acquitted.

The tribunal also declared the SS, SD, Gestapo, and the leadership of the NSDAP criminal organizations. Consequently, all members of these organizations were subject to judicial punishment.

The Nuremberg Trials resulted not only in the condemnation of crimes. A significant outcome was the formation of generally accepted principles of international law. An important international precedent was established, emphasizing the inevitability of punishment for crimes against humanity.

Preservation of historical memory

Yulia Nadekhina, PhD in History and Associate Professor of the Department of Theory and Organization of Management at the State University of Management, emphasized the importance of preserving and disseminating the true history of the Great Patriotic War:

"Today, we are witnessing numerous attempts to revise the results of World War II and the widespread disinformation surrounding it. The main attempts to falsify the events of 1939-1945 originate from the European community, which benefits from denigrating our country and casting the history of our great people in a negative light. In this regard, it is crucial to preserve the true memory of the events of the Great Patriotic War, the atrocities, and the horrors of Nazi crimes. The results of the Nuremberg Trials, recorded in a 16,000-page transcript, are a valuable resource for anyone who doubts that Nazism is the most heinous crime against humanity."

Without the USSR, the tribunal would not have existed.

Another important fact, painstakingly "lost" by Western media, is that if Joseph Stalin hadn't insisted on a judicial process and that each criminal be punished for their crimes, there would have been no international military tribunal. Great Britain and the United States initially favored extrajudicial methods.

Even during the war, when the Allied countries were making plans to try Nazi war criminals, the British and American sides advocated a no-compromise approach. Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill insisted on a political trial, which would resolve everything simply: capture the Nazis, interrogate them, and execute them.

The Nuremberg Trials became the most important event of the 20th century. They not only summed up the first half of the century but also defined international jurisprudence for the second half. The principles of the Nuremberg Trials became the foundation for the creation of modern mechanisms of international justice and continue to serve as a legal guideline in the fight against crimes against peace and humanity.
