On July 4, a solemn ceremony of awarding the diploma and mantle of the Honorary Professor of SPbPU to the founder, president and chairman of the board of directors of the RBI Group Eduard Tiktinsky took place at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. The assignment of this title is the highest form of recognition of merits in educational and scientific activities. The event took place during the honoring of the best graduates of the Polytechnic.
The honorary title was awarded to Eduard Tiktinsky, a graduate of the Economics Department of the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute, by the decision of the Academic Council of SPbPU on December 2, 2024.
Eduard Saulevich founded the RBI Group at the age of 21. Having graduated from the Polytechnic, the higher courses in economics and privatization of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and having gained experience in real estate, Eduard Tiktinsky created and headed a development company, which today is one of the largest holdings in St. Petersburg in the residential and commercial construction market. During this time, the company has implemented more than 80 projects, with a total area of more than two million square meters.
Today, Eduard Tiktinsky is an Honorary Builder of Russia, holder of the Order of Merit in Construction, member of the Board of Trustees of the World Club of Petersburgers, initiator and ideological inspirer of the social project for talented youth “School of Leaders of the Future”. In addition, Eduard Saulevich is a multiple leader of professional and business ratings, recognized at various times by expert communities as “Person of the Year”, “Expert of the Year” in the field of business, innovation, education, as well as one of the most effective managers who made the greatest personal contribution to the development of the industry over the past decade.
Eduard Saulevich is, first and foremost, a polytechnician, an engineer and economist, who has proven with his success story how business provides opportunities for self-realization, and personal motivation, efficiency and talent help to achieve goals. For several years now, the university has been hosting meetings with polytechnicians, where Eduard Saulevich shares his experience, helps students believe in themselves and encourages them to “know their craft”, because success is the result of work, accepted risks and conviction in the correctness of the chosen path, – noted the scientific secretary of the university Dmitry Karpov, reading out the presentation.
So, Eduard Tiktinsky became a guest discussion club “You have the floor!”, answered questions from polytechnicians.
In conclusion, Dmitry Anatolyevich cited Eduard Saulevich’s “rules of success”, voiced by him in one of his interviews.
I want to thank you for the great honor of speaking at an important event – the awarding of golden graduates. Remembering my studies, I want to note that after creating my company, I did not come to the Polytechnic very often. But nevertheless, it gave me the opportunity to accept the challenge both in work and in studies, without any discounts and adjustments to pass all exams on time, clearly and with normal grades. The activity that I conduct, meeting with students and entrepreneurs, gives a lot not only to people, as I hope, but also to me, – said Eduard Tiktinsky in his response.
Eduard Saulevich visited the SPbPU History Museum, where he learned interesting facts about the history of the university and saw key exhibits. The honorary professor climbed the spiral staircase to the Polytech Tower, where he was able to enjoy the view of the university and the city from a height of more than 40 meters.
The tower is one of the symbols of the Polytechnic University, this year it turns 120 years old. It is interesting that it is now used as a youth cluster for startups and development. Of course, it is very symbolic when a historical building is given a new life. I believe this is a very important task for the city. It is good when such projects “throw” a kind of bridge between history and modernity. The Polytechnic University Tower, as I see it, fully embodies the functions and meanings that a cultural heritage site can carry, – noted Eduard Tiktinsky.
