On the day of the 126th anniversary of the Polytechnic University, the best students took part in the Rector’s Ball – one of the most striking events in the history of the university. The Fundamental Library hall gathered the guys who achieved success in their studies, science and social life.
On February 19, the Polytechnic’s birthday, the Reading Room of the Main Building reopened its doors for a ball. And this was a long-awaited event, since the university’s reading room had been closed for reconstruction since November last year.
The ball was opened by the Polytechnic anthem performed by members of the Polivoks vocal studio and the SPbPU Pop and Symphony Orchestra. The recording also included a farewell speech by the first director of the university, Prince Andrei Grigorievich Gagarin, which he delivered in 1902 to the students of the Polytechnic Institute. The participants, dressed in ball gowns and tuxedos, were greeted by the Vice-Rector for Youth Policy and Communication Technologies, Maxim Pasholikov:
The tradition of organizing balls for students appeared at the Polytechnic University more than a hundred years ago. It is great that we have managed to revive these events. You are the best in various fields of activity – in studies, science, sports. Carry the great title of a polytechnician with dignity throughout your entire life. Happy birthday, Polytechnic University! Happy holiday, friends!
For the second year in a row, the musical accompaniment was provided by the Polytechnic Orchestra under the direction of Dmitry Misiura. Also at the conductor’s stand stood a student of the master’s degree of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport Pavel Zhukov. The choreographer Maxim Salomatov helped to master various dances. Soloists of the studio “Polivoks” performed several vocal compositions.
One of the main events of the ball was the awarding of excellent students, winners of Olympiads and competitions. Alexandra Brenman, a third-year student at the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade, was awarded for the best report at the All-Russian scientific and practical conference “Scientific Space of Modern Youth: Priority Tasks and Innovative Solutions”. In 2024, she also published 14 scientific publications, including 12 international ones.
It is a great honor for me to be here. Each of us has a special dream. And when something like this comes true, we understand that we are really moving in the right direction. Thanks to the teachers who allow us to move forward, – Alexandra shared.
Fourth-year student of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade Diana Yakimenko was awarded because she is the winner of the All-Russian Entrepreneurship Championship MIR, the grant competition of the Science and Higher School Committee of the Government of St. Petersburg, and the laureate of the startup competition of the Eurasian Youth Forum “EEFM 2024”.
Today I became a participant of the rector’s ball, and for me it is a long-awaited event. I am very glad that there are so many talented people in the Polytechnic. May all your dreams come true! – said Diana.
At the end of the ceremony, Vyacheslav Bugaev received the medal “Best SPbPU Graduate”. He graduated from the Institute of Computer Science and Cybersecurity and demonstrated significant success in his academic, scientific and social activities.
Many thanks to the Polytechnic teachers, thanks to whom I received the award. I want to wish everyone to believe in themselves, achieve goals and not deviate from their path, – shared Vyacheslav.
The ball continued with dance promenades, including waltz, polka, mazurka and quadrille. Polytechnicians enjoyed learning new dances and participated in ballroom games. The bright celebration ended with a rock band concert and a disco.
