RUDN University medical students won prizes and runners-up at the first International Festival of Student Science and High Art, held at Omsk State Medical University. The event, organized as part of the Decade of Science and Technology in the Russian Federation, was jointly hosted by the Omsk State Medical University's Department of Orthopedic Dentistry and our university's Department of Orthopedic Dentistry.

The festival became a living embodiment of the thesis "dental science and practice as art." It provided a platform for mastering and demonstrating diagnostic methods and manual skills using digital technology, combined with immersion in the world of music and fine art.

Six student teams from universities in Perm, Yekaterinburg, Moscow (RUDN University), Almaty, Novosibirsk, and Omsk participated in the festival competition. A distinguished jury comprised of leading experts in orthopedic dentistry evaluated the participants' work. Among them were Igor Lebedenko, Head of the Department of Orthopedic Dentistry at RUDN University, and Vitaly Parunov, Professor of the same department.

Dentistry and Tchaikovsky

The first day's program included a presentation of the universities' business cards and a student olympiad. Participants demonstrated their skills in digital diagnostics of the functional state of the dental system, stomatoscopy, and manual tasks such as making a silicone key, preparation, photodiagnostics, taking optical impressions, and making temporary crowns. The festival's evening program introduced guests to the Omsk Symphony Orchestra, which performed works by P.I. Tchaikovsky, G.V. Sviridov, and A.P. Petrov. On the second day, a student research paper competition took place, where young researchers presented works reflecting contemporary trends in science and practice. The festival concluded with the opening of an exhibition of selected graphic works from the collection of Professor A.A. Stafeev, "From the Great Piranesi to the Art Deco Genius Erté." The House of Artists featured over 100 original works, ranging from etchings by Giovanni Battista Piranesi to works by Art Deco artists, allowing participants to experience high art.

Among the best

RUDN University students demonstrated excellent results in the individual competition at the festival:

Elizaveta Kovrizhkina, a fifth-year Dentistry student, took first place in the "Temporary Crown Fabrication" category. Valeria Maltseva, a fifth-year Dentistry student, took third place in the "Tooth Preparation" category.

The winners shared their impressions.

"Some stages of the competition were a revelation for me: we were tested on our interdisciplinary thinking and creativity. We had practiced our manual skills in orthopedic dentistry many times in our departmental classes, so we were prepared to present our work with distinction. The unfamiliar environment and the new team were nerve-wracking, but once we became friends with all the participants, the atmosphere became very warm. I was surprised to see healthy competition and even friendships develop between all the participants," says Elizaveta Kovrizhkina.

"I went to the festival primarily wanting to test my skills. The atmosphere was amazing: so many talented, friendly, and passionate people! I developed good, trusting relationships with everyone. I hope to see them again! Winning a prize in dissection is a huge honor for me and motivates me to continue developing. The only challenge during this task was finding the balance between under-dissecting and over-dissecting. This was the only thing that caused a little anxiety: you're not imagining a phantom, but a real person who has approached you with a problem, and your main goal is to help them," says Valeria Maltseva.

All competition participants and winners were awarded diplomas, valuable gifts, and books published by leading Russian professors. RUDN University is proud of its contribution to the event and the achievements of its students.

Document

Resolution of December 5, 2025 No. 1990

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree approving a list of target indicators for ensuring Russia's technological leadership, medium- and long-term technology development in economic sectors, as well as rules for calculating them and monitoring their achievement.

The main goal of the document is to create a unified system for assessing Russia's technological development to achieve national goals and implement the new federal law "On Technological Policy."

Target indicators for ensuring technological leadership characterize the development of high-tech products and the technologies necessary for their creation, and form the basis for assessing the effectiveness of Russia's technological policy.

The new resolution defines the country's level of technological independence and its level of technological superiority over foreign analogues in priority high-tech products using such indicators.

The achieved level of technological independence and technological superiority are designated as target indicators for the medium-term and long-term development of technologies in economic sectors.

Work to achieve target indicators will be carried out within the framework of national projects to ensure technological leadership, medium- and long-term technology development plans, projects to develop cross-cutting technologies, and innovative development programs for organizations with state participation.

Speaking about the decision made at a meeting on the implementation of technology policy held on December 15 at the Technopolis Moscow SEZ, Mikhail Mishustin noted that the comprehensive system for assessing technological development will demonstrate the progress of the development of high-tech solutions and products based on domestic technologies, determine the country's level of independence in priority developments, and characterize our level of leadership when compared with foreign counterparts. The metrics approved by the resolution will be integrated into national projects and will serve as benchmarks for bringing product performance up to the best international standards.

On December 9, the Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art hosted an Evening of Vernissages. Twelve resident galleries presented new exhibitions.

The pop/off/art gallery has opened the exhibition "Shadow Theory"—a new chapter in the career of artist George Cohen, formerly known as Georgy Pusenkoff. The exhibition features previously unseen works from 2019–2024, balancing non-objective and figurative imagery with interspersed text. Shadow symbolizes the presence of light, and the immaterial takes shape and becomes visible. The exhibition runs until January 23.

XL Gallery presented the exhibition "Failures" by the Blue Soup group. The works are created using digital animation. The group's works explore detached and artificial landscapes, interiors, and locations where mysterious forces operate. They resemble reality yet are not, creating an "uncanny valley" effect and placing the viewer on edge. The exhibition runs until January 16.

The 11.12 Gallery hosted the opening of Vladimir Marin's exhibition "Fermentation," dedicated to his ongoing search for new creative methods and constant relocation. This fermentation yields new works that reflect both the artist's artistic vision and the surrounding geographic and social context. The exhibition runs until January 18.

VLADEY Space opened a solo exhibition by Yegor Koshelev, "Reds and Blacks." The artist deliberately rejects a color palette in his works and explores new methods while residing in regional cities. This experiment resulted in two major projects, which have become a distinct chapter for the artist. He presents art with a new tone and explores new themes previously uncharacteristic of his work. The exhibition runs until January 18.

The a-s-t-r-a Gallery presented the project "Paradoxical Paradise" by Sergei Sonin and Elena Samorodova-Sonina. The artists work in the fictional genre of "Russian provincial orientalism," asking visitors questions such as: is it possible to build a large-scale earthly paradise, harness the power of nature, and at what cost is victory over the chthonic? The exhibition will run until January 16.

PENNLAB Gallery has opened Elena Anosova's solo exhibition, "Inside Soft Gold," the final chapter of the "Atlas of First Snow" project. The artist presents the results of a decade of research into her family history and the lives of a multi-ethnic community of hunters and fishermen in the Lower Tunguska basin. The exhibition runs until January 31.

The HSE ART Gallery presented a major exhibition, "The Great Disorder," across two venues, bringing together artists, designers, researchers, and educators reflecting on chaos as a fundamental form of existence in the world. The major exhibition is an annual format held by the HSE School of Art and Design since 2021. The exhibition runs until January 13.

FUTURO Gallery opened Nikolai Onishchenko's solo exhibition "In the Icy Ether." The exhibition includes monochrome graphic works and an audio installation. The artist conceives of the concept as a graphic representation of the mechanism of sound, which he compares to the formation of glaciers. He then created a series of graphic works depicting sharp, fragile, and nature-like objects. The exhibition runs until January 16.

The Triangle Gallery presented Andrey Efimov's solo project "Space of Variations or Shining Chaos." The artist creates his own visual image of life in all its manifestations, referencing themes of nature and the cosmos. The project seeks to convey the essence of existence without specific forms, so that viewers can formulate their own definition of life. The exhibition runs until January 16.

Totibadze Gallery opened the exhibition "Cinema/Theater of Sveta T." The exhibition features sketches for famous films and plays by fashion designer Svetlana Tegin, who works in the film and theater industries. Her works balance the boundaries of fashion and art, a distinction that is clearly expressed in her collections and creative collaborations. The exhibition runs until January 14.

FINEART Gallery presented Katya Belyaeva's solo project "Rococo Universe." The artist combines the world of 18th-century fashion with the cosmic future. These two parallel realities recreate the Rococo universe and give birth to a new neoclassical style. The exhibition runs until January 18.

BIS ART Gallery hosted the opening of Elena Kolesnikova's solo exhibition, "Who Whispers Loudly on the Sunny Path." The exhibition is structured like a map leading to new achievements and introspection, while the works point to the current era of contemporary art. The exhibition runs until December 23.

Admission to the galleries is free; please check the gallery's website for opening hours. Full details and contact information are available on the website.
