On October 14, Orthodox Christians celebrate one of the great feasts of the twelve feasts – the Protection of the Holy Mother of God.

The holiday is based on the legend of the miraculous salvation of Christians from a pagan invasion in Constantinople in the mid-10th century. The city was besieged by enemies, and people gathered in the Blachernae Church to pray. Among them was Andrew, the fool-for-Christ from Constantinople. According to his life, he was the first to see the Mother of God walking across the sky, surrounded by saints and angels. The Most Pure One began to pray for the salvation of Christians, and then spread a maphorion—a woman's veil covering her head and shoulders—over them. According to legend, a storm arose that night, and the enemy ships retreated from Constantinople without a fight.

This is how the Feast of the Intercession of the Mother of God came into being. On this day, believers celebrate the spiritual protection that the Mother of God provides to all those in need and disadvantaged.

For Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, the Feast of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin has a special, symbolic significance. Until 2018, it was celebrated on October 1st according to the Julian calendar then in use in the Russian Empire. In 1902, it was on October 1st, the Feast of the Intercession, that the consecration of the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute took place. The clergy of the Novosiltsevskaya Church held a service in the assembly hall, and the building was sprinkled with holy water. At the opening ceremony, the government was represented by Pyotr Mikhailovich Romanov, the head of the Ministry of Finance, deputy minister, and privy councilor, who declared the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute open.

On behalf of all those present at the service, Pyotr Mikhailovich sent a telegram to Emperor Nicholas II, who was in Livadia at the time: "Today, the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute, erected by the will of Your Imperial Majesty, was consecrated—classes will begin there tomorrow. The director, professors, and students of the institute ask me to lay at the feet of Your Imperial Majesty their feelings of boundless devotion and gratitude for the gift of an institution of higher learning, so generously endowed by Your Highest Grace, and to report to Your Majesty that they will make every effort to fulfill their duty and dedicate themselves to the cause of good education. I humbly submit this to Your Imperial Majesty."

The next day, before classes began, Grigory Petrov, the artillery school's religious teacher and preacher, held a prayer service in the assembly hall. Then, Andrei Gagarin, the institute's director, addressed the students. Here's an excerpt from his speech: "You are the first; with your participation, the traditions of our institute will be established. Therefore, strive to ensure that it becomes a proud and stable member of its elder brothers. For its life to flow correctly, you must consciously exercise self-discipline. Follow the institute's rules and the instructions of myself and the faculty. Feel free to contact us if you have any difficulties. In us, you will always find support and assistance."

The first lecture on theoretical mechanics for students in the technical departments was given by Ivan Vsevolodovich Meshchersky, the founder of the mechanics of variable systems and a member of the St. Petersburg Mathematical Society. In one of the larger auditoriums, Professor Alexander Sergeevich Posnikov gave a lecture on political economy to students in the economics department.

On October 2, 1902, the Polytechnic received a telegram from Emperor Nicholas II in Livadia: "I sincerely wish success to the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute, which opened today, and I thank the director, professors, teachers, and students for the sentiments they have all expressed." Nicholas.

Ten years later, on June 6 (June 19, new style), 1912, a church was laid at the Emperor Peter the Great Polytechnic Institute in honor of the Feast of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin—the institute's opening day. The church was consecrated on December 15 (December 28, new style), 1913. Today, it is an active church at the Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University.

The microbial preparation "Oceanida," an environmentally friendly development by Rosneft Oil Company, has received a positive conclusion from a state environmental review. The preparation is designed for the effective and safe disposal of hydrocarbon pollutants in Arctic seas. The expert commission determined that the innovation complies with environmental protection requirements. The conclusion was approved by an order from Rosprirodnadzor.

The development of this biopreparation is the result of extensive scientific research. The project is being implemented through a collaboration between Rosneft's Arctic Research Center and Innopraktika, based at the Faculty of Biology at Lomonosov Moscow State University. The product is based on psychrophilic (cold-loving) microorganisms that can utilize hydrocarbons as a nutritional source.

During the project, specialists conducted a series of expeditions in the Arctic region to search for native microbial strains that most effectively degrade oil slicks. They also developed and tested a technologically advanced formulation of the product—coated granules containing dormant microbial cells and the nutrients necessary for their initial growth.

Scientists conducted detailed studies of the drug's safety for humans, animals, and marine ecosystems. The effectiveness of "Oceanida" was proven not only in laboratory conditions but also in field trials at the White Sea Biological Station of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov. Hydrocarbon losses amounted to 36.7% over 45 days, even at temperatures as low as -1.5°C. Based on the obtained data on the drug's safety for marine ecosystems, an environmental assessment confirmed the suitability of "Oceanida" for use in Arctic seas.

Environmental sustainability in business operations is a key priority for Rosneft Oil Company. The use of modern biotechnological solutions will enable the effective and environmentally safe elimination of hydrocarbon pollution of all types, but especially the so-called "chronic pollution" that arises from the operation of maritime transport.

Rosneft produced its 100 millionth ton of oil at the Yuzhno-Balykskoye field.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Cumulative production at the Yuzhno-Balykskoye field, developed by RN-Yuganskneftegaz (part of the oil production complex of NK Rosneft), has reached 100 million tons of oil.

A distinctive feature of the Yuzhno-Balykskoye field is its multi-layer structure, consisting of a dozen horizons, each of which is drilled by its own grid of wells.

The high performance was achieved through the commissioning of new wells, the construction of infrastructure facilities, and the use of modern technologies.

Currently, over 400 wells provide production at the Yuzhno-Balykskoye field. Since the beginning of 2025, 20 new wells, including seven horizontal ones, have been commissioned. RN-Yuganskneftegaz specialists are using sidetracking technology, which allows for increased oil recovery at the mature asset and the return of mothballed wells to production.

The field is developed using hydraulic fracturing operations, which significantly increases oil production.

The field has great development prospects. Near-term plans at the Yuzhno-Balykskoye field include drilling wells at two cluster pads, which will increase oil production. Additionally, exploration is underway at the underlying horizons.

Reference:

RN-Yuganskneftegaz is a key asset of Rosneft Oil Company, accounting for approximately 30% of the Company's total production. The company conducts geological exploration and development of fields in 40 license areas covering a total area of over 21,000 square kilometers in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra.

The company's cumulative production since the beginning of its operations exceeds 2.7 billion tons of oil.

SPbGASU faculty presented their research at a conference on earthquake-resistant engineering.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

From October 5 to 11, the 16th Russian National Conference on Earthquake-Resistant Construction and Seismic Zoning was held in Sochi. The conference addressed such topical issues as seismic design standards in different countries, seismic protection, software calculations, and more. The earthquake that occurred in Kamchatka on July 30 became a high-profile topic. Experts discussed the results of seismic stations during the earthquake, the minute-by-minute occurrence of events, and concluded that the seismic event had been successfully managed.

The conference was attended by scientists and engineers from across Russia, as well as from Pakistan, India, New Zealand, Iran, Nepal, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan. SPbGASU was represented by faculty from the Faculty of Civil Engineering.

Nadezhda Ostrovskaya, PhD, Associate Professor of the Structural Mechanics Department, spoke at the "Seismic Isolation and Other Innovative Systems and Technologies for Seismic Protection" session, where she discussed the design and calculation methods for plastic dampers. She noted the enormous scientific contribution to the development of structural mechanics made by Professor Yuri Rutman, who recently passed away: "Yuri Lazarevich was a very gifted and prolific scientist. Within the walls of SPbGASU, he nurtured more than ten PhD candidates and specialists in earthquake engineering. He established a scientific school on seismic isolation, specifically plastic dampers of various configurations, which I will strive to continue. Yuri Lazarevich's contribution cannot be overestimated." The presentation was dedicated to the publication of the monograph "Plastic Dampers: Design, Calculation, Experiment" in 2025.

Olga Nesterova, PhD, Associate Professor of the Department of Structural Mechanics, presented a paper at the "Application of CAD and Computational Modeling in the Design of Buildings and Structures" section on the consideration of vibration mode correlation in seismic impact analysis. "As part of my research on dynamic vibration dampers for seismic protection of buildings and structures, I discussed an important factor that must be considered in earthquake impact analysis: vibration mode correlation. This is the influence of vibration modes on each other, and failure to consider this can lead to incorrect conclusions when assessing the seismic resistance of buildings and structures." The main conclusion of the study was that there are a number of structures for which consideration of correlation is essential in the analysis. It was proposed to introduce recommendations on how to consider correlation into standards.

Professor Sergey Savin, Doctor of Engineering, Department of Reinforced Concrete and Masonry Structures at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, moderated the section "New Design Solutions, Reinforced Concrete, Metal, and Steel Structures. Design, Construction, and Design of Earthquake-Resistant Buildings and Structures, Earthquake-Resistant High-Rise Buildings. Features, Problems, and Challenges of Safe Design and Construction." He also presented his own paper on "Verification of Design Models for Large-Span Shell Roofs Based on Their Dynamic Parameters Determined During Free-Vibration Testing." Sergey Nikolaevich focused on the A.P. Chekhov Sakhalin International Theatre Center, located in the earthquake-prone city of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. During the discussion, the experts concluded that this method is highly effective.

This section also featured Sergey Tetushkin, an assistant professor in the Department of Structural Mechanics, who presented a paper on "Improving the Analytical Method for Calculating the First Mode of Natural Vibrations of Building Structures Using a Correction Factor." In his paper, Sergey shared some experimental and theoretical results from studies of a cantilever model of building structures with five concentrated masses, which, according to the regulatory document SP 14.13330.2018, is required for seismic impact analysis. These studies were conducted jointly with the Center for Integrated Seismic Testing.

Another participant in this section affiliated with our university was Sergei Mikhailenko, a graduate of the Leningrad Civil Engineering Institute (LISI, now SPbGASU), who presented a paper titled "Design of Facade and Window Structures." He shared his experience using translucent structures in Canada and presented SPbGASU representatives with his monograph, "The Practice of Constructing Translucent Facades and Other Glass Building Structures Based on Experience in North America."

At the "Fire Safety of Buildings and Structures. Seismic and Fire Safety of Building Structures and Materials" section, Don State Technical University Professor Lyubov Morgun, in her report "Foam Concrete for Improving the Seismic and Fire Safety of Buildings," paid tribute to "outstanding LISI scientist" Professor Igor Aleksandrovich Lobanov and presented the author's certificate "Raw Material Mix for Obtaining Cellular Concrete," obtained by I. A. Lobanov and Yu. V. Pukharenko in 1981.

Tatyana Belash, Doctor of Engineering, Advisor to the Russian Academy of Architecture and Construction Sciences, and Consulting Professor of the Department of Metal and Wood Structures at St. Petersburg State University of Civil Engineering (SPbGASU), served as one of the conference organizers. As is traditional, the conference concluded with a roundtable discussion of pressing issues related to seismic impact design standards, highlighting the undeniable relevance of the issues discussed and the importance of the results obtained through the research presented at the event.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Since 2011, 12 sports complexes, including ice rinks, have been built and reconstructed in the capital using city budget funds. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction. Vladimir Efimov.

"As part of the Targeted Investment Program, 12 sports complexes with ice arenas, totaling 106,200 square meters, have been built and renovated in Moscow since 2011. They are located in eight administrative districts and are designed for hockey, figure skating, competitions, and ice shows. The facilities were built using modern technologies, creating multifunctional and comfortable spaces for both professional and amateur athletes," said Vladimir Efimov.

New sports complexes have opened in the districts of Dmitrovsky, Nizhegorodsky, Novogireevo, Nekrasovka, Troparevo-Nikulino, Khoroshevo-Mnevniki, Chertanovo Tsentralnoye, Yuzhnoye Butovo, Yuzhnoye Medvedkovo, Yuzhnoye Tushino, and Yasenevo.

"The largest number of sports facilities with ice rinks have been built in the southwest of the capital: three sports complexes with a total area of over 33,700 square meters. For example, an ice palace was built in the Yasenevo district in 2023. A sports and fitness complex with an ice rink and gym was built in the Yuzhnoye Butovo district in 2011, and this year, the large "Maximum" sports complex, located on Ostafyevskaya Street, welcomed its first visitors. Its ice rink is designed for ice hockey training, district competitions without spectators, and public skating," noted the head of the Moscow Department of Civil Construction.

Alexey Alexandrov.

A multifunctional sports complex with a total area of 20,600 square meters was built in the Mnevnikovskaya Poima at 10a Nizhniye Mnevniki Street.

The Moscow Ecopoints project has begun accepting medication blisters.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Moscow Government – Moscow Government –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

As part of the "Moscow EcoPoints" project, which launched last fall, used pill blister packs are now being accepted for recycling.

"Currently, there are approximately 600 collection points for various types of recyclable materials in the capital. Expanding the list of accepted fractions is an important step in developing a culture of separate collection. According to analytics, billions of pharmaceutical packages are produced in Russia annually, approximately 60 percent of which are in blister packs. This is a complex type of waste, however, with the materials it contains taking approximately 700 years to decompose. By separating waste, we prevent soil and water pollution, prevent harm to the health of animals, birds, and humans, and return valuable resources to the production cycle," she noted.

Yulia Urozhaeva, head of the capital's Department of Nature Management and Environmental Protection.

Blister packaging combines plastic and aluminum foil, so it shouldn't be recycled with regular household waste. Without separate collection, it ends up in landfills, where it takes hundreds of years to decompose, causing serious damage to the ecosystem.

Now Muscovites have a convenient way to dispose of this waste. The resulting recyclable materials will be returned to the economy. This was made possible thanks to joint efforts. Department of Nature Management and Environmental Protection of the City of Moscow and the Greenbox social project. Currently, 45 publicly accessible blister pack collection points have been installed in the capital. The containers are located throughout the city, including in the most popular locations: pharmacies, medical centers, and clinics. By the end of 2026, the number of blister pack collection points is planned to double.

Separate blister collection first became available to Moscow residents in 2021, and the initiative subsequently expanded to the Moscow region, St. Petersburg, Voronezh, Ryazan, and Ivanovo. However, the capital remains the leader in terms of coverage, housing almost half of all collection points in the country.

In 2024, thanks to the participation of city residents, 1.2 tons of blisters were collected and recycled. This figure is projected to exceed two tons in 2025 and reach four tons in 2026. The collected materials are transferred to the National Ecological Company LLC for processing, where polymers (approximately 92.5 percent) and aluminum (approximately 7.5 percent) are extracted. The recycled materials are used, for example, in the production of plastic sewer pipes.

The "Moscow Ecopoints" project is extremely popular among Moscow residents. In addition to blister packs from medications, residents can donate clothing, textiles, tires, electronics, and books. A special interactive map is available.project website allows you to quickly find the nearest collection point and select the desired fraction of recyclable materials. This year, Moscow residents collected over 1,000 tons of clothing, over 460 kilograms of car tires, and approximately 26 tons of electronic scrap.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

More than 1,200 abandoned cars in the capital have been removed for recycling, according to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Utilities, and Urban Development. Petr Biryukov.

"As of July 1, 2025, the regional operator, JSC Ecotechprom, began implementing another important task: ensuring the recycling of abandoned vehicles. Since the start of the experiment, over 1,200 vehicles deemed abandoned by court orders have been removed from designated parking lots," noted Pyotr Biryukov.

Abandoned vehicles are those that remain unattended on public property for extended periods of time. These include, for example, vehicles that are severely damaged after an accident and beyond repair. They occupy useful public space—yards, roadways, and parking spaces—and impede pedestrian and vehicle access, including emergency vehicles. Furthermore, abandoned vehicles can become a source of fire or a storage site for prohibited items.

When abandoned vehicles are discovered, a special commission is created to try to identify the owner. If no owner is found, the vehicle is towed to a designated parking lot. After this, a court ruling declares it ownerless and sends it for disposal.
