Olga Lytkina, director of the theater studio and director of the SPbPU Student Theater, has won the "Recognition" award from the Union of Theater Workers of Russia. She won in the category "For Contribution to the Development of Amateur Theater in Russia." This joyous event took place on the eve of International Theater Day, celebrated on March 27.

"When Alla Valentinovna Zorina, Honored Worker of Culture of the Russian Federation and Head of the Amateur Theater Department of the Union of Theater Workers of the Russian Federation, called me and told me I'd won the 2026 "Recognition" award, I was literally stunned. I'm incredibly happy to have received such high recognition for my work!" Olga Vladimirovna shared. "After all, I joined the student theater as an applicant after seeing the recruitment notice. I opened the door and stayed there!"

Olga Lytkina entered the St. Petersburg Institute of Mechanical Engineering (LMZ-VTUZ) in 2000 and became actively involved in the Student Theater from her first days of study. In March 2004, she received a diploma for Best Actress in the play "My Happiness" at the first T-ART Student Youth Amateur Theater Festival in Petrozavodsk. She then received diplomas from the State Russian House of Folk Art (GRDNT) for her acting at the 5th All-Russian Festival "Success" in Shchelykovo, Kostroma Region, the "New Look" festival in St. Petersburg, and other festivals.

In 2004, Viktor Borisenko, the artistic director of the Student Theater, suggested Olga organize a theater studio for first-year students. After graduating from the Institute of Mechanical Engineering (PIMash), Olga Lytkina remained as the rector's assistant for educational work. In 2012, following the merger of PIMash and the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, she was transferred to the position of director of the Student Theater of SPbPU, where she still works today. When first-year students join the theater, they first study with Olga Vladimirovna in the studio, and then gradually, by their second year, some of them are transferred to the main cast.

"For me, theater isn't just a word, not just a few vivid memories. For me, theater is an ecosystem in which everything and everyone is an integral and important part of life," says Olga Lytkina. "I am grateful to the Union of Theater Workers of Russia for recognizing my work, to the leadership of the Polytechnic University for the opportunity to introduce students to art, and, of course, to my beloved Student Theater of the Polytechnic University, headed by Honored Cultural Figure Viktor Filippovich Borisenko."

With the support of Samotlorneftegaz (part of Rosneft), creative venues in Yugra dedicated to preserving and promoting the culture of indigenous peoples of the North have been renovated. In honor of World Theatre Day, celebrated on March 27, the professional Solntse Theatre and the Torum Maa (Sacred Land, a Khanty word for "sacred land") open-air historical and ethnographic museum in Khanty-Mansiysk were modernized.

The Solntse Theatre's stage space has been completely refurbished. Thanks to the new engineering system, directors and designers are now able to implement more complex and ambitious creative projects. Modern equipment allows for rapid stage transformations, the creation of dynamic sets, and the use of a variety of special effects—from smooth lighting changes to simulated rain and snow. The updated theatre infrastructure will make the theatre's productions more expressive and spectacular.

Thanks to Samotlorneftegaz, a theater troupe tour has also been organized throughout Yugra, including the most remote indigenous villages. Actors representing the indigenous peoples of the North present productions based on the folklore heritage of the Ob Ugrians and the works of contemporary authors. The Solntse Theater is a regular participant in national and international festivals such as the Golden Mask, Harlequin, and Mayatul.

The Torum Maa Open-Air Ethnographic Museum of the Khanty and Mansi Culture has undergone a comprehensive modernization program. The museum is located within the unique Samara Chugas Natural Park. With the Company's support, a visitor center has been established, providing facilities for seminars, master classes, educational activities, lectures, and theatrical performances based on traditions, national holidays, and rituals. The museum's entrance has been reconstructed, steep hillsides have been reinforced, and eco-ethnic trails have been updated, allowing for a broader audience for cultural and educational programs and tailoring them to different visitor groups.

The completed projects have created favorable conditions for preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of the Khanty and Mansi peoples, and have also opened up new creative prospects for the development of theatrical arts in the region.

Reference:

Samotlorneftegaz is one of Rosneft's key production facilities in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra. The company supports cultural, educational, and awareness-raising projects, as well as initiatives aimed at preserving traditional family values and developing children's creative potential. For example, with Samotlorneftegaz's support, the Young Spectator's Theater in Nizhnevartovsk was renovated. Thanks to the project, the theater building was equipped with modern equipment and new functional spaces for creative activities were created.

Ürümqi, March 27 (Xinhua) — More than 2,000 China-Europe/Central Asia freight trains have passed through the Alashankou Port, making it the largest port on the China-Europe route in the country, according to local customs officials.

As the "first corridor" for China-Europe freight trains, the Alashankou Port has implemented a "smart railway port plus expedited customs clearance" model. This allows trains to clear customs immediately upon entry, significantly simplifying the clearance process.

The train inspection model has been transformed from traditional "car-by-car manual inspection" to "non-invasive intelligent surveillance," increasing the efficiency of train inspections by an average of 70%. Customs clearance and inspection processes are now continuous.

According to customs officials, train downtime at checkpoints has been significantly reduced, and customs clearance costs for businesses have also been significantly reduced. This year, the number of China-Europe/Central Asia freight trains overseen by Alashankou Customs reached 2,000, 19 days earlier than last year. The daily maximum also set a new all-time high, reaching 35 trains.

"We are making every effort to ensure the safe and timely departure of every freight train outbound, supporting international economic and trade exchanges through efficient transportation services. Currently, the average daily number of trains passing through the checkpoint has reached 23," said an official from the Urumqi branch of China Railways (CR).

As a reminder, China-Europe and China-Central Asia freight trains currently operate through the Alashankou checkpoint on 128 routes, linking China with 21 countries, including Germany and Poland. The goods transported exceed 200 categories, including auto parts, electronics, and consumer goods.
