Every year in early July, the Polytechnic University honors its gold medalists—graduates who not only graduated with honors, but also consistently earned straight A's throughout their studies and distinguished themselves in academic and social activities. This summer, among the honorees was Anastasia Maikova, a graduate of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade—the latest subject of our "Persona" column.

How can kindergarten influence your choice of university, what kind of student do you need to be to receive government and presidential scholarships, why Anastasia loves Soviet cinema, and why she travels the Golden Ring every summer—all this and much more. Read the interview with the now Polytechnic graduate student.

This Friday is doubly wonderful, because today not only marks the end of the first working week of the year, but also the birthday of the most youthful and resourceful vice-rector, president of the SUM Alumni Association, and senior lecturer in the Project Management Department, Pavel Pavlovsky.

Every student knows him, hears him even without a microphone, recites his poems, and makes stickers. And this love is absolutely deserved: GUU hosts up to a thousand events annually where students can showcase their talents, earn volunteer hours, develop their skills, meet famous people, and get answers to their questions.

Under Pavel Vladimirovich's supervision, our university team took second place among 590 Russian universities in the "Best Practices for Implementing the Service-Learning Program" category in 2025. A Methodological Center for the Development of the KVN Movement in Higher Education Institutions was established at the State University of Management.

Happy birthday to a true patriot of the university, city, and country! We wish him strong vocal cords, nerves of steel, unquenchable enthusiasm, and extra hours in the day to organize even more events!

The Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications of SPbPU and the Special Technology Center (STC) launched a jointly manufactured nanosatellite of the 16U CubeSat standard from the Vostochny Cosmodrome – it became the sixth inPolytech Universe space satellite constellation.

PU-6 was launched into orbit by the Soyuz-2.1b launch vehicle together with the Aist-2T satellites No. 1 and No. 2 and another fifty spacecraft for various purposes.

Several hours after separation from the Fregat upper stage, the Polytech Universe No. 6 (PU-6) nanosatellite contacted ground control. Specialists then began flight and space testing of the satellite platform subsystems and the spacecraft's payloads.

The new CubeSat is designed to solve scientific and applied problems in the fields of radio monitoring, geolocation, and inter-satellite communications. Its capabilities include:

Measuring the level of electromagnetic radiation in various frequency ranges; receiving and storing AIS (automatic identification system) messages; transmitting data to the control center for processing and analysis; experimental testing of the operability of the high-speed inter-satellite radio communication system.

The previous five Polytech Universe CubeSats were smaller, comprising only three units (cubes measuring 10 cm on a side). The new PU-6 satellite is significantly larger, with 16 units. This increases its battery capacity and solar panel area, significantly increasing its active orbital time.

"Furthermore, the satellite is equipped with a new version of the onboard AIS receiver with low power consumption, allowing it to operate 24/7. It also has experimental inter-satellite communication equipment, which can improve the processing efficiency of onboard data and reduce the volume of payload data transmitted to the ground control station," explained Sergei Volvenko, a senior researcher at the Higher School of Applied Physics and Space Technology at SPbPU.

The data obtained from the satellite is also planned to be used in the university's educational process, giving students the opportunity to better understand the specifics of space missions.

The project, supported by a grant from the Planet Watch program of the Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises (FASIE) as part of the Space-π project, will continue the development of the Polytech Universe group, including educational programs, scientific experiments, and applied research.

On January 15, 1831, the Demidov Prize was established “to promote the advancement of science, literature, and industry,” which became the first regular and most honorable scientific award in Russia.

The award is named in honor of its founder, Pavel Demidov, a member of an influential Ural mining family known not only as a successful industrialist but also as a patron of Russian science.

Financing of the Prize

Pavel Demidov decided to annually contribute 20,000 rubles to the Academy of Sciences for awards to scientists "for the best works in various parts in Russia" and another 5,000 rubles "for the publication of manuscripts awarded by the Academy."

According to Demidov's will, funding for the prize continued for another 25 years after his death.

Award period and laureates

The prize was awarded until 1865, usually on the birthday of the reigning emperor.

Over 34 years, more than 900 scientific papers were reviewed in various fields of knowledge, including history, philology, geography, chemistry, physics, biology and others.

During this period, 55 full prizes (each worth 5,000 rubles) and 220 half prizes were awarded. Among the outstanding scientists awarded this prize were:

Historians Alexander Mikhailovsky-Danilevsky, Mikhail Pogodin, Dmitry Milyutin, Ivan Zabelin, and Dmitry Tolstoy. Navigators and geographers Fyodor Litke and Ivan Kruzenshtern. Philologist Alexander Vostokov. Chemist Dmitry Mendeleev. Mathematician Pafnuty Chebyshev. Physiologist Ivan Sechenov. Physician Nikolai Pirogov, who received the Demidov Prize four times for his medical monographs.

Revival of tradition

In 1993, the tradition was revived on the initiative of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS).

Currently, the prize is paid from the Demidov Scientific Foundation and is awarded not for a specific scientific work, but for the scientist’s overall contribution to the development of science.

A group of international students from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University visited the unique Lenrezerv Museum and Exhibition Complex. The tour, organized as part of a cultural and adaptation program and events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, allowed future engineers and scientists from around the world to learn about the heroic history of the city where they would study and live.

The Lenrezerv Museum is renowned for its extensive collection of authentic military equipment, vehicles, artillery pieces, and household items from the Great Patriotic War. Each exhibit is a living testimony to the era, telling the story of the resilience of Leningrad's defenders and home front workers.

The students were particularly impressed not only by the technology itself, but also by the stories behind it. Ahmad Md. Nawab, a student at the Higher School of Biotechnology and Food Technology, shared his emotions: "It was a unique experience. We were told the history of the Lenrezerv Museum, the history of the military equipment and combat vehicles used during the war. It was very interesting! For him, like many others, it was a revelation to see the courage and dedication with which people sacrificed themselves."

Liu Yihan, a student at the preparatory department of SPbPU, remarked on the incredible energy of the exhibits: "Visiting the Lenrezerv was unforgettable. I love these authentic wartime artifacts—they remind us of the people who lived, fought, and defended this land. Thanks to such material evidence, history is no longer just words in a textbook—it comes alive."

For the university, such visits are an important part of its educational and cultural work with international students. They help not only improve their knowledge of the Russian language and history, but also deepen their understanding of Russia's values, traditions, and spiritual heritage, as well as the heroism of the people who defended their country.

The Polytechnic University will continue to organize similar excursions to promote intercultural dialogue and strengthen mutual understanding among students from around the world.
