An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Nevskaya Ratusha hosted an awards ceremony for the winners of the 2025 competition to conduct research on the history of the defense and siege of Leningrad. This year's winners included seven students, graduate students, and staff members from the Polytechnic Institute of Humanities.

The competition was held by the Committee for Science and Higher Education of the Government of St. Petersburg in accordance with the activities of the state program of St. Petersburg "Knowledge Economy in St. Petersburg", approved by the Decree of the Government of St. Petersburg dated 23.06.2014 No. 496, and the Resolution of the Government of St. Petersburg dated 01.08.2022 No. 695 "On the prizes of the Government of St. Petersburg for the winners of the competition for conducting research on the history of the defense and siege of Leningrad."

This competition is of great importance both for popularizing knowledge about the war and the siege and for helping young people determine what is most important to them. It's also a great help to the Institute of Defense and Siege of Leningrad, which was established at the behest of the city's governor within our Siege Memorial Museum," noted Petr Tishchenko, Chairman of the St. Petersburg Archives Committee.

In addition to the prestigious award and the opportunity to contribute to preserving the memory of great events, the winners will receive prizes ranging from 50,000 to 200,000 rubles. In 2024, these prizes were increased by a decision of St. Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov.

By decree of the St. Petersburg Government, 25 prizes were awarded based on the results of the competition. Seven of these were awarded to representatives of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University.

In the "Undergraduates" category, the award winners were Polina Krison and Anna Malinina. In the "Graduate Students and Adjuncts" category, the award winners were Tatyana Gavrilova and Alexandra Dmitrieva. In the "Young Scientists" category, the award winner was Ekaterina MushenkoIn the "Young PhD Candidates" category, Dmitry Vycherov and Maxim Ganin won awards.

For many years, I've been studying various aspects of the daily lives of Soviet children and adolescents during the Great Patriotic War. In this context, in recent years, I've begun researching childhood during the siege of Leningrad. As a result of this research, new documents have been introduced into scholarly circulation, providing valuable insights into the evacuation of children and adolescents from Leningrad. I submitted my research for the competition, examining the restoration of the Pioneer camp network in 1944-1945," shared Dmitry Vycherov, Associate Professor at the Higher School of Social Sciences.

Students and young scholars carefully studied the archives, collecting, bit by bit, reliable data on the events and people of a fateful era in the history of our city, the country, and the world. Polina Krison, a student at the Higher School of International Relations, dedicated her research to her native Pavlovsk, specifically to Anna Zelenova, director of the Pavlovsk Palace during the Great Patriotic War.

"My family has lived in St. Petersburg for exactly six generations, and I'm proud to be a St. Petersburger, a resident of a city with such a unique and challenging history. "The history of Leningrad during the Great Patriotic War has been the subject of countless studies, yet the equally interesting and significant events that took place in its suburbs are often overlooked. Therefore, for me, promoting Pavlovsk, my small homeland, and the heroism of its residents and individuals is not only a personal interest but also an honor I bear with pride," said Polina Krison, a student at the Graduate School of Management.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

An awards ceremony was held at the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, where a graduate received the title of "Employee of the Year" Faculty of Economics (EF) NSU Margarita Lyakhnova. The award was presented to Margarita by Bank of Russia Governor Elvira Nabiullina.

Margarita graduated from the Faculty of Economics at NSU, choosing the Economics program as her undergraduate degree, and then continued her studies in the Master's program, specializing in mathematical models in economics.

"NSU was a natural choice for me. It's a university with a strong faculty and a serious approach to education. It wasn't just about getting a degree that was important to me, but also about learning to think systematically: analyzing, asking questions, and bringing tasks to fruition," says Margarita Lyakhnova.

Her interest in precise and analytical disciplines also determined her choice of faculty. According to her, NSU's Faculty of Economics attracted her with its combination of economic theory, data science, and mathematical modeling, which allowed her to connect rigorous analytics with real-world socially significant problems.

Margarita joined the Bank of Russia after graduating from university. At that time, the internship system hadn't yet developed, so a recommendation from the Faculty of Economics played a key role.

"I was lucky: the deputy dean, who was well acquainted with my research interests and background, recommended me for the open position. This gave me the opportunity to apply the knowledge I gained at NSU at an institute that plays a key role in the country's economy," notes the NSU Faculty of Economics graduate.

Margarita has been working at the Bank of Russia for almost four years. She credits her strong university background, passion for the challenges, a strong team, and a constant desire to delve deeper than her formal responsibilities for helping her achieve her professional results.

"For me, this award is confirmation that I'm moving in the right direction and an incentive to continue developing. It's important not to be afraid of difficult challenges, to be open to feedback, and to remember that even the most ambitious goals are achieved step by step," Margarita shares.

NSU congratulates the graduate on this high professional award and wishes her continued success.

The Day the Union Disappeared

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

December 25, 1991, is a significant moment in the history of Russia and the entire post-Soviet space. This day marked the end of the Soviet Union, which for more than seven decades had exerted significant influence on global politics, economics, and culture. Mikhail Gorbachev's departure from the presidency of the USSR marked the final point in the history of a great power that once occupied one-sixth of the world's landmass.

The events of that day unfolded rapidly. At 7:35 PM, a symbolic event occurred over the Kremlin in Moscow: the USSR flag, which had embodied the unity and power of the Soviet state, was replaced by the tricolor of the Russian Federation. This moment was not only an act of symbolic change but also a reflection of the profound changes taking place in the country. The flag change marked the end of an era and the beginning of a new stage in the lives of millions of people living in a country that no longer existed.

The policies of glasnost and perestroika, implemented by Mikhail Gorbachev to modernize Soviet society, had tragic consequences. Instead of the expected economic growth and strengthening, the country plunged into crisis. National movements in the republics, economic hardship, and political instability became integral features of the final years of the USSR.

Despite all the negative factors, 78% of Soviet citizens were against the country's dissolution, as they stated in a referendum held on March 17, 1991. However, their opinion was unable to change the situation.

The resignation of President Mikhail Gorbachev symbolized not only his personal defeat, but also the collapse of an entire system that was unable to adapt to new conditions.

Russia, the successor to the USSR, faced the need to build a new national identity. Questions about how to develop the country, reform the economy, and improve relations with the former republics came to the fore. The transition to a market economy, which began in the 1990s, was difficult and painful. Many people lost their savings and jobs, and their standard of living declined significantly.

And yet, despite all the difficulties, our country was able to embark on a path of development, adapt to new conditions, and begin building a new society. Memories of the Soviet Union still live in people's hearts; according to periodic sociological surveys, more than half of Russians still regret the country's collapse.

The rector of the State University of Management at a meeting of the State Council chaired by the President of Russia

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, took part in the final meeting of the State Council, chaired by Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin on December 25.

The President discussed with members of the State Council the training of personnel for the economy, paying particular attention to the modernization of the education system in the context of the development of artificial intelligence.

In his speech, Vladimir Putin recalled that 19 national projects with specific targets were launched in 2025, eight of which are aimed at ensuring Russia's technological leadership. The success of each project depends on the professionalism and competence of the people involved. At the same time, there is currently a high demand for skilled workers: unemployment has dropped to 2.2% overall and to 3.8% among young people.

The head of state emphasized that the next 10-15 years will see the largest technological breakthrough in world history, and we must approach it with full readiness:

"The very principles of training specialists and their subsequent career advancement are being radically transformed. The traditional trajectory of step-by-step career development—from education, to junior position, and on to management—will undoubtedly change… The entire paradigm of personnel training needs to be changed."

Accordingly, it is necessary to revise existing programs and teaching methods, develop new ones, and conduct mass retraining of teachers who will not only be oriented toward new technologies but also preserve the fundamental foundations of the education system, developing independent creative thinking in students and the ability to critically evaluate the proposals of artificial intelligence.

The President also recalled the national ranking of graduate employment prepared by the Ministry (recall that GUU took a leading position in it), based on which he proposed annually identifying the 100 educational institutions that demonstrated the worst results and working with them to improve their performance.

In addition, tasks were outlined to overcome imbalances in the labor market, optimize the sectoral structure of employment, and develop an infrastructure for career guidance for young people and additional vocational education.

Regarding higher education, the President called for attention to be paid to the development of universities that train personnel for key sectors: energy, transport, agriculture, construction, culture, and healthcare. New development programs for such universities should be discussed and developed in close collaboration between the Ministry of Education and Science, industry ministries, relevant enterprises, and businesses.
