Great universities are like monuments of time: they preserve not only scientific discoveries and the names of outstanding graduates, but also the spirit of the eras they have lived through. To touch this heritage, you need to go on a journey through time. This is exactly the chance that undergraduate students of the 1st to 3rd years received thanks to the historical competition of the Polytechnic Museum “Do you know the history of your alma mater?”
The competition became a real quest through the pages of our university’s past. Participants went through three stages, in each of which they revealed unique facets of the Polytechnic’s history and had the opportunity not only to test their knowledge, but also to feel the atmosphere of bygone years. The main prize – a trip to Kazan – and other valuable gifts became an incentive. But the main thing is that the students received vivid memories and a sense of involvement in great history.
Of the 26 teams, four reached the final: “de-TOXIC”, “Zaichatki razuma”, “Byvnyy LIST im. Engelsa” and “Polnyy privod”. “de-TOXIC” won, having scored 77 points. Its members are: Ruslan Ablyazov, Anastasia Beresneva, Alexandra Gerasimova and Elena Medvedeva. They will go to Kazan to get acquainted with the history of one of the oldest cities in Russia and, of course, try real chak-chak.
The second place was taken by the team “Zaichatki razuma” with a score of 76 points: Olga Tarunova, Aryuna Dorzhieva, Maria Abakumova and Diana Akhmetshina. The guys will go to Kholomki, where the estate of Prince Gagarin is located.
We are very grateful for the ocean of emotions, the sea of knowledge and a small lake of pleasant fatigue! – shared Aruna.
Third place went to the team “Former LIST named after Engels”, which scored 74.66 points. It included Daniil Zelensky, Ratibor Ryasnyansky, Artur Shakhkulyan, Andrey Shvarev. The guys received branded merch of the university and the museum. They assessed the competition with the following words: History plus excitement plus atmosphere equals delight!
Also, the finalists of the competition were the participants of the team “Full Drive”: Valeria Yurchenko, Artem Somov, Varvara Kulikova, Eva Doroshenko, Arina Filipova. They enthusiastically passed all the tests and thanked the organizers for the opportunity to learn more about their native university.
Four-wheel drive – we’ll roll it all the way to space! – that’s how the guys described themselves.
The competition “Do you know the history of your alma mater?” became not just an intellectual competition, but also an opportunity to feel part of a large polytechnic family. It reminded us that history lives not only in books, but also in walls, routes, meetings, emotions. It is in us.
We thank all the participants for their genuine interest and sincere enthusiasm. Thanks to them, the history of the Polytechnic University has been resounding with new voices and has come to life in our hearts. Let this immersion into the past inspire new discoveries. The history of the alma mater continues — and we are writing it together! — noted Tatyana Novitskaya, Deputy Director of the SPbPU History Museum.
