On December 17, a ceremony to award new scholarship programs of the President and Government of the Russian Federation, as well as personal scholarships, was held in Tomsk at Tomsk State University. The event was part of a federal series held in all districts of the country and brings together talented young people who have contributed to the development of science, technology, culture, sports, and public life.

Thirty-eight students from Novosibirsk State University have received scholarships from the President and Government of the Russian Federation. They represent the following fields: mathematics and natural sciences (29), engineering and technology (one), social sciences (six), and humanities (two). Based on statistics for all Russian universities, NSU ranks among the top 10 in terms of the number of recipients of the President and Government scholarships.

During the awards ceremony, diplomas were presented for presidential and government scholarships, as well as personalized scholarships—named after V. A. Tumanov for undergraduate and graduate students majoring in Jurisprudence, and A. A. Voznesensky for students majoring in Literature and Journalism. NSU recipients of personalized scholarships included four graduate students from the Institute of Philosophy and Law and two female students majoring in Journalism from the Humanities Institute.

This year, the monthly stipends have been significantly increased: the Russian President's stipend is 30,000 rubles, the Russian Government's stipend is 20,000 rubles; personal stipends are at least 15,000 rubles for undergraduates and 20,000 rubles for graduate students.

A new selection procedure was also introduced: the scholarship competition became nationwide, and departmental and university quotas were abolished, ensuring equal opportunities for students from all educational institutions.

Next year, it is planned to establish scholarships named after Verbitskaya for foreign students who have achieved high results in the study of Russian language and literature.

It's wonderful to see so many of you here, and believe me, I'm proud of our university, its glorious past, present, and bright future. I'm also proud of our faculty, who invest in their students. And, of course, I'm proud of you, students, because you are the glory of our university. You are our promising and bright future.

Our students study very hard at our university; that's our hallmark. And it's amazing that, despite such a busy schedule, our students find time to help their departments and the university, and to engage in cultural and creative activities. This is wonderful, so I hope we'll have new and exciting projects in the new calendar year. I sincerely thank everyone with whom we've worked, discussed, and debated this year. I wish you all the very best," Olga Yakovleva, Vice-Rector for Youth Policy and Educational Work at NSU, congratulated the students.

A key advantage of purchasing at auction is the legal purity of the transaction. Therefore, if the property meets the key criteria, there will be no pitfalls. Entrepreneurs can now consider purchasing a 297-square-meter space at auction in the Golovinsky district near the Vodny Stadion metro station. It is located on the ground floor of a residential building and has a flexible use, making it suitable for opening virtually any type of business," said Kirill Purtov.

This layout allows for a comfortable office or the use of the space for multiple businesses. For example, it could be used to open a coffee shop, a beauty salon, a tailor shop, or a computer club. It could also be a profitable investment for subsequent rental to multiple tenants. The Golovinsky District is one of the most promising for business development in northern Moscow.

On guard for cybersecurity: the "Call Me Back" project turns three years old

Online project Call me back yourself has been helping to identify scammers' tricks for three years now. Since the project's launch, lecture recordings have been viewed more than 1.8 million times. This was reported by the Moscow Department of Information Technology.

"As Sergei Sobyanin noted in his speech, protecting against cyber fraud is a crucial and highly relevant task today. Every day, millions of citizens encounter scammers who send emails about lottery wins or extremely attractive promotions at a well-known store, impersonate law enforcement officers or other official organizations, and send messages via instant messaging asking people to vote for a friend or provide necessary information while posing as their boss. For three years now, the 'Call Back Yourself' project has been helping people learn more about fraudsters' tricks using simple real-life examples, recognize manipulation early, and avoid it. During this time, 28 in-person and online events have been held, the broadcasts and recordings of which have been viewed more than 1.8 million times," said Valentina Shilina, head of the 'Call Back Yourself' project at the Moscow Department of Information Technology.

Regular lectures with industry experts, information materials, interactive simulators, and a situation designer help you learn more about security and study the main techniques of attackers.website.

Popular seminars

This year, the project held 11 seminars, recordings of which can be viewed at any time at https://sam.mos.ru/sobytiya/past . The website also features information sheets on each topic and expert presentations, which include stories of victims, common scams, and other useful information. For user convenience, the lectures are also posted on social media. VKontakte and on Rutube.

A recording of one of this year's lectures featuring real-life stories deceived people Viewed nearly 160,000 times, listeners learned about common scams—messages about phone service problems offering online phone setup, scammers calling from a fake executive account, scams during sales, and two-part attacks, in which a scam call is made first, followed by a fake law enforcement official offering to protect the user over the phone, among other tactics.

Another pressing issue is dropshipping—the luring of residents into fraudulent schemes they may not even be aware of. Fraudsters use intermediaries to withdraw stolen funds. They send offers of part-time work as a courier or ask for help withdrawing money from an ATM for their mother. Such situations can lead to complicity in crime. You can learn more about these schemes fromseminar recordings, which has already been viewed more than 142 thousand times.

Seminar Deepfake Scams: How to Avoid Being Scammed The video is dedicated to the use of artificial intelligence in fraudulent schemes. It has been viewed approximately 55,000 times. Using previously obtained audio, photo, and video footage, the attackers create deepfakes featuring the faces and voices of friends, relatives, and celebrities. Learn how to recognize the generated messages and protect yourself from the recording of the meeting and the tips on the project's website.

At one of the meetings, experts discussed how to shop online safely and distinguish a good offer from a scam.seminar, which has been viewed over 47,000 times, discussed the tactics used by online shoppers, the built-in security tools on popular trading platforms and marketplaces, and provided recommendations for protecting personal data and consumer rights.

Five rules of cybersecurity: Moscow Department of Information Technologies experts have compiled a guide to protecting against fraud.Experts from the "Call Me Back" project offered advice on protecting against deepfakes.

Situation constructor and the Stopfake service

In 2025, the "Call Me Back" project website was updated. One of the main changes was the addition of a section "What to do if you've been scammed?"The situation constructor simulates various fraud scenarios and provides personalized recommendations—for example, what to do if social media is hacked or a person transfers money to scammers.

In January of this year, a service was launched as part of the project Stopfake, created using artificial intelligence and a large language model, optical character recognition technology, including screenshots of conversations, and speech analysis. It can also detect signs of deepfakes—synthesized speech in audio and facial substitution in videos. Based on the results of the check, the bot reports the risk of fraud and what signs to look out for.

Another new project format was an interactive game in which participants assessed presented situations, analyzed them, and identified signs of fraud in messages, while also developing their reaction speed and critical thinking skills. The interactive workshop, "Fraudster in the Palm of Your Hand: Playing and Recognizing," was first held in December 2025. Participants were encouraged to create a profile of the attacker based on key features and characteristics, recognize fraudulent tricks in audio recordings, and test their knowledge of cybersecurity rules.

The online information project "Call Back Yourself" was created in 2022 by the Moscow Government in collaboration with the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the city of Moscow. It helps residents protect themselves and their loved ones from telephone and online fraud. In 2023, "Call Back Yourself" won the "Best Social Project Website" category at the "Golden Site" awards. It also received the Runet Prize in the "Information Security" category. In 2025, the project received awards from the Ministry of Internal Affairs' "Shield and Pen" international competition and the fourth All-Russian "Regional Information Security Cup" competition.

"Orchestra Rehearsal." What a turnout for one of the most anticipated premieres of the Lenkom season.

IN Lenkom Mark Zakharov the premiere took place Orchestra Rehearsals, Vladimir Pankov's first production as artistic director. Inspired by the screenplay of Federico Fellini's film of the same name, the production featured over 100 performers on stage simultaneously, along with a full orchestra.

Conductor without love

The ancient chapel, long since converted into a concert hall, is quiet for now—just for a moment. A television director (Ivan Agapov) quietly explains that filming is about to begin on a documentary about the orchestra's behind-the-scenes life. He wants to talk to the musicians and the conductor and find out what art means to them.

Very soon, the room fills with noise, hubbub, conversations, and stomping—the musicians take their places, discussing various matters as they go. Filming begins (video clips are displayed on two large screens), and the director discerns the contradictions lurking beneath the orchestra's apparent harmony.

For some, music is a craft and discipline; for others, it's an outlet, a haven of peace. Yet for others, it's a true passion. The pianist (Anna Yakunina) is ready to talk at length about herself and her instrument, and then, when words run out, she obsessively strikes the keys, then breaks into a dance, not forgetting to toss her hair for added effect. "It's something from my early repertoire," she says, breathless. But for the harpist (Alexandra Zakharov), her instrument is a dream come true, something from childhood. "I first saw a harp in a dream," she confesses. Her romantic mood is accentuated by a delicate white dress.

The discord gives way to complete silence—the conductor appears, a stern, almost demonic figure. He raises his baton, but his movements—sometimes smooth, sometimes jerky—create a nervous atmosphere. Then he loses his temper, yells at the musicians, accusing them of not trying hard enough. According to actor Dmitry Pevtsov, his character, despite his exacting standards, has lost his love for his work and yearns for it.

"One of the messages in this story is that it's hard to create without love. If you lose the love and passion for what you do, nothing will work. You need to be honest in any profession," says Dmitry Pevtsov.

Soundrama and many actors

The production features several casts. In addition to Dmitry Pevtsov, the conductor is Andrey Sokolov and Igor Mirkurbanov. Also appearing on stage are Alexander Zbruev, Tatyana Kravchenko, Olesya Zheleznyak, Maxim Averin, Andrey Leonov, Anna Bolshova, and many others. In total, there are over 100 performers, including 20 musicians from the symphony orchestra and the Lenkom Theatre choir.

"I'm glad that artists of all generations are here, everyone's gathered together and finally getting to know each other," Ivan Agapov joked. "Everything is very peaceful here; no one has argued during rehearsals. I'd like to believe that this isn't just a coincidence, but because we're united by a great idea."

The genre of "Orchestra Rehearsal," Vladimir Pankov's first production as artistic director, can be described as soundrama. It's a synthetic genre he devised himself, blurring the boundaries between different art forms: soundrama unites drama, contemporary music, and performance.

Incidentally, the performance features not only music written especially for it, but also compositions by Nino Rota and Jacques Offenbach.

Fellini's painting

The performance is inspired by the 1978 film of the same name by Italian director Federico Fellini. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and was received very warmly. Vladimir Pankov admitted that he had long pondered this material, rich in metaphors and allusions.

But the Lenkom production features more than just Fellini's masterpiece. It also subtly, almost imperceptibly, incorporates encrypted memories of Mark Zakharov, who passed away in 2019. According to Vladimir Pankov, the idea arose during the Lenkom concert "Backyards"—a revived format of informal concerts conceived by Alexander Abdulov back in the 1980s.

"At the concert, we talked about Mark Anatolyevich and his biography," Vladimir Pankov recounted. "And all of this came to mind when we began preparing 'Orchestra Rehearsal.' It seemed to us that there were many associations with him here. Those who know the Lenkom well will recognize the allusions."

These echoes do not undermine the story's core narrative—the performance follows Fellini's plot, where the orchestra reflects society: every person is essential to creating something meaningful.

"With Vladimir Pankov, the actors perform performances, not roles," said Dmitry Pevtsov. "That's how a team is formed. This performance is precisely aimed at uniting the team."

Artificial intelligence

Towards the end, the conflict escalates: the orchestra musicians, angry at the rude treatment, stop feeling awe towards the conductor, and he becomes disillusioned with them, believing that they do not need music.

The rehearsal descends into chaos. The ensemble becomes an enraged, hateful mob. Chairs are broken, the chapel wall is destroyed, blood is spilled (though unseen by the audience). Sheet music, previously carefully guarded, flies into the auditorium. The conductor, nostalgic for art past and present, is forced to resign.

Vladimir Pankov slightly altered the ending, incorporating contemporary realities. Toward the end, a robot appears on stage, clutching a conductor's baton. Such a conductor no longer needs the emotions that could cause discord between creators of beauty. The director seems to hint that perhaps a future will soon arrive when people no longer need to seek emotional connections with each other.

"There are as many opinions as there are people, and everyone will have their own truth. But how wonderful it would be if we all struck the same note, the same chord, and found resonance. What is this story about? We ask this question ourselves in the play: 'Where does the music go when you stop playing?'" the director added.

The next performance will be on December 27 and 28, and January 13 and 14. Tickets can be purchased through the service Mosbilet.

In Western Administrative Okrug parks, Muscovites are making helmets for SVO fighters and writing letters to them.

At two project sites Winter in Moscow In the Western Administrative District, children and adults are taught how to make useful items for special military operations (SVO) fighters at workshops. Humanitarian aid collection points are also operating there.

At the Fili Children's Park on Bolshaya Filevskaya Street (Building 9), guests are taught how to make helmets, personal protective equipment for soldiers, and at Nikulino Park on Vernadsky Prospekt (Building 100a), young Muscovites write letters with wishes and fold them into frontline triangles.

Master classes for everyone

As reported by the deputy head of the Fili children's park, Alexey Melnikov, on December 26 at 3:00 p.m. master class The event will be led by community councilors from the Filevsky Park district. Since the beginning of the Second World War, they have been collaborating with one of the assault brigades, weaving helmets for soldiers and "Leshiy" capes for snipers, and sending humanitarian aid to the front.

Anyone can participate in the workshop. Simply arrive at the "Santa Claus Workshop" pavilion at the designated time. The district's community councilors will continue their workshops after the New Year. They will be held on January 16 and 30, starting at 2:00 PM.

The weave of the helmet covers is reminiscent of the technology used to make camouflage nets. High-strength strips of a special polymer material with a camouflage pattern are woven into the knitted base. The choice of color depends on the terrain where the soldiers are currently located and the time of year.

Where to apply skills

Anyone who learns how to make helmets at the workshops will have the opportunity to join volunteers who have been doing this work for a long time. Vitaly and Ksenia Ivanov, a married couple from the Dorogomilovo district, attended one of these workshops and now plan to put the knowledge they gained to good use. They said they were inspired by the feedback from soldiers returning from the front lines. Camouflage is crucial for soldiers today. Therefore, volunteers have a lot of work to do; they are always in need of help.

Volunteers are welcome, for example, at the "Golden Hands of an Angel" workshop in the Kuntsevo district. According to Amira Magomedova, head of the Kuntsevo branch of "Molodogvardeets," they are ready to offer everyone the opportunity to apply the skills they learned in the workshops.

"The demand for protective equipment is truly high right now—soldiers are constantly sending us requests. Helmets and hard hats reflect the sun, which can make soldiers vulnerable to enemy drones. Everyone on the front line needs helmet and hard hat camouflage," Amira Magomedova noted.

For those who weren't able to attend the workshops at Fili Children's Park, the volunteers of the "Golden Hands of an Angel" organization are organizing them themselves. You can contact them atTelegram channel or throughwebsite.

Muscovites who attend the helmet-weaving workshops have the opportunity to become permanent assistants to their mentors—public councilors of the Filevsky Park district. The volunteer workshop is located at 17 Bolshaya Filevskaya Street, Building 2. Anyone interested in helping the SVO soldiers is welcome here on weekdays from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM.

Weavers of protective equipment are also in demand at volunteer centers in the village of Rublevo. Workshops are open from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM daily at the administration building on Sovetskaya Street (building 11a) and at the Church of the Icon of the Mother of God "Never-Fading Flower" on Vasiliya Botyleva Street (building 45).

Field mail

Warm words of support, especially from children, are just as essential to those on the front lines as personal protective equipment. At Father Frost's workshops in Fili and Nikulino Parks, children can learn to make 3D cards and fold triangle letters. The activities are designed for the whole family.

At Fili Children's Park, the next classes will be held on January 10 at 11:00 AM and January 11 at 12:00 PM, as well as on January 17 at 1:00 PM and January 18 at 11:00 AM. At Nikulino Park, master classes will be held throughout January on Saturdays and Sundays, starting at 4:00 PM.

"We're currently sending New Year and Christmas greetings to the soldiers, and after the holidays, we'll be writing words of support on craft paper, whose texture creates the impression of authentic front-line letters from the Great Patriotic War. We're explaining to the children why they were triangular in shape," shared Olga Krasikova, deputy director of the Troparevo-Nikulino club center and master class leader.

Help and gifts for fighters

Humanitarian aid collection points for military personnel stationed in the SVO zone continue to operate in both parks. They are located in the "Santa Claus Workshop" pavilions next to the skating rinks.

The points are open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays: in the Fili children's park – from 10:00 to 20:00, in the Nikulino park – from 16:00 to 18:00.

For the SVO fighters, you can bring warm clothes, thermal underwear, portable hand warmers, heated insoles, as well as long-life packaged food products.
