Students from the State University of Management won the final of the large-scale All-Russian competition "Your Move" with the track "I Do."

Third-year students from the Institute of Information Systems at the State University of Management, Lev Taran, and Nikita Kolotushkin, who is also a technician at the Digital and Intelligent Mobility Laboratory and a member of the Innovative Solutions Student Design Bureau, successfully competed as part of the interuniversity team.

The team's project, the digital platform "Ryadom," addresses the problem of low student engagement in extracurricular activities by presenting information about events across all clubs and associations in a single, convenient platform. The service includes a personalized calendar, a notification system, integration with university services, and advanced tools for organizers, including event posting, registration management, and analytics.

The project team, which included representatives from St. Petersburg State University and ITMO University alongside our students, not only won the track but also received a special award from Gazprom for the best pitch – a compelling and compelling presentation of their idea.

The "Your Move" competition is one of the largest projects for student youth, attracting over 12,700 participants in the "I Do" track in 2025. Winning the competition will qualify the project for a 1 million ruble grant for further development.

The awards ceremony took place as part of the All-Russian Student Forum "Your Move – 2025," organized by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, Rosmolodezh, the Movement of the First, Your Move, the Russian Youth Union, and the Presidential Platform "Russia – Land of Opportunities."

Rosneft, the Ministry of Tourism of the Samara Region and the Samara Tourist Information Center presented a new tourist route "Mountain weekend"The route was designed specifically for motorists and connects recreational, educational, and sports facilities in the Samara and Saratov regions.

The presentation of the new tourism project took place at the Rosneft gas station in Novokuibyshevsk, where motorists learned about the route and took part in a New Year's quiz, where Father Frost awarded useful gifts for correct answers.

Rosneft actively supports projects to develop domestic tourism. Improving the level of roadside service and customer service at Rosneft filling stations is among the Company's priorities.

"Mountain Weekend" is a family road trip itinerary for winter holidays or weekends. Drivers will visit the most popular locations in the Samara and Saratov regions. Rosneft gas stations conveniently located along the route provide everything they need for their trip and guarantee high-quality fuel.

Start your journey with a break from the city life by visiting the family-friendly aquathermal complex "Volzhskie Termy." The resort offers guests the opportunity to rejuvenate in its outdoor pools, immerse themselves in aromatherapy in its baths and saunas, or enjoy water attractions.

Washington, December 23 (Xinhua) — The U.S. military sank a "stealth vessel" suspected of smuggling drugs in international waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean on Monday, killing a man on board, U.S. Southern Command announced on social media.

At the direction of US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Joint Task Force Southern Spear carried out a "lethal kinetic strike" on a vessel in international waters, the military stated. It noted that the vessel was operated by an organization designated as a terrorist organization by US authorities.

Intelligence confirmed the vessel was traveling along known drug trafficking routes in the eastern Pacific and was involved in drug trafficking, the command said, adding that one narco-terrorist was killed in the strike.

As of Monday, the Pentagon has sunk more than 29 suspected drug-carrying vessels in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific since early September, killing at least 105 crew members.

For nearly four months, the United States has maintained a significant military presence in the Caribbean, primarily off the coast of Venezuela, calling it part of an effort to combat drug trafficking. Caracas has denounced the American actions as a thinly veiled attempt at regime change in Venezuela.

BEIJING, Dec. 23 (Xinhua) — The Xinhua Center, a national think tank, on Monday released a new book titled "Ideological Colonization" in Chinese and English at the 36th Xinhua News Agency-hosted journalism academic conference.

The book, published by Xinhua, includes two analytical reports: “Ideological Colonization: Methods, Origins, and International Dangers of US Cognitive Warfare” and “US Military Hegemony: Origins, Facts, and Dangers.”

The report on American ideological colonization reveals how the United States has long eroded the sovereignty of other countries through ideological infiltration, undermining fairness in international perceptions. The report was first presented on September 7 of this year at the High-Level Forum of Media and Think Tanks of the Global South.

The report on US military hegemony examines the ideological roots, instruments, and practices of American military hegemony, as well as the damage Washington has inflicted on global security and stability. The report was first published on September 5, 2023, and was subsequently revised to reflect recent developments before being included in a recently published book.

Since their publication, the reports have played a significant role in building consensus among countries in the Global South on the pursuit of independent development and liberation from hegemonic constraints, according to experts attending a scientific conference on Monday. –0–

China plans to increase solar thermal power capacity to 15 GW by 2030

BEIJING, Dec. 23 (Xinhua) — China on Tuesday released guidelines to accelerate the development of solar thermal power, calling for its installed capacity to reach 15 gigawatts (GW) by 2030 at a cost broadly comparable to that of coal power.

The guideline, jointly issued by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the National Energy Administration, focuses on project construction and expanding application scenarios to promote large-scale deployment of solar thermal power.

According to the document, by 2030, China plans to transform the sector into an internationally competitive new energy industry characterized by the adoption of advanced global technologies, fully controlled domestically, and market-oriented and industrialized growth.

After years of development, China has made significant advances in core solar thermal energy technologies and established a leading industrial chain, with the construction cost per kilowatt falling from approximately 30,000 yuan (US$4,253.9) 10 years ago to approximately 15,000 yuan. The cost of power generation has also dropped significantly.

However, according to a representative of China's State Energy Administration, the sector still faces a number of challenges, including high initial investment and relatively weak market competitiveness.

To address these issues, the document outlines strategies such as the development of large-scale solar thermal power plants adapted to local conditions and the implementation of integrated projects combining solar thermal, wind, and photovoltaic energy in a coordinated manner. These initiatives aim to address local energy shortages, support grid operations, and improve the security and stability of energy supply.

The guidance also notes that the equitable participation of solar thermal power in electricity markets should be promoted, with provincial-level regions urged to implement region-specific pricing mechanisms that balance competition and operational stability.

The document emphasizes the need to accelerate research and development in key technologies, materials and equipment, and to support leading companies and research institutions involved in solar thermal energy in creating joint research platforms to enhance technological independence and develop domestic production of key equipment. -0-
