    BEIJING, June 17 (Xinhua) — Russians’ interest in the Chinese city of Shanghai is steadily growing, according to data from the city’s immigration service.

    In the period from the beginning of January to June 12, 2025, Russia took 6th place in the tourist flow to Shanghai in terms of the number of tourists, writes the newspaper Xinmin Wanbao.

    According to this indicator, the top 10 countries include the Republic of Korea, Japan, the USA, Thailand, Malaysia, Russia, Singapore, Germany, Vietnam and Australia.

    According to official data, Shanghai received a total of over 2.3 million foreign tourists during the period, an increase of 45.6 percent year-on-year.

    Shanghai’s tourism boom is believed to be due to the ongoing optimization of its visa-free policy. China has introduced a visa-free regime for citizens of 47 countries and extended the permitted stay under visa-free transit to 240 hours for citizens of 55 countries.

    Statistics show that during the reporting period, about 1.27 million foreigners made visa-free tourist trips to Shanghai. Their share exceeded 50 percent.

    To make it more convenient for foreigners to travel to the city, the local immigration service hotline 12367 has introduced service functions in Russian and other languages. In addition, police officers who speak foreign languages, including Russian, English, Japanese, Korean and Arabic, are on duty at passport control points. -0-

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Rosneft Improves Anti-Corrosion Technologies

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Rosneft – Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    Specialists from the Rosneft Scientific Institute in Izhevsk have developed and tested an innovative method for assessing the corrosion rate of oil well equipment. The economic effect of using the innovation will average 1.4 million rubles per well over 5 years.

    The essence of the new approach is to measure the corrosion rate using steel plates directly in the thermobaric conditions of wells. The process is carried out using special immersion probes, also developed by the institute’s specialists. Previously existing practices involve measuring the corrosion rate inside the cavity of ground infrastructure pipelines.

    The developed method allows for precise determination of the minimum effective dosages of corrosion inhibitors, ensuring the target level of well protection*, increasing the period of trouble-free operation, and avoiding costly operations of lifting and dismantling well equipment.

    The positive result of this work will reduce the overall costs of protecting the underground equipment of Udmurtneft named after V.I. Kudinov (the Company’s production asset). Work is currently underway to replicate the technology at other Rosneft facilities.

    * according to the Interstate Standard “Corrosion of Metals and Alloys” ISO 9224-2022, the rate of general corrosion of equipment should not exceed 0.1 mm/year.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: “Telling the Story of the Arctic”: New Photo Exhibition at HSE

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: State University Higher School of Economics – State University Higher School of Economics –

    The opening of the exhibition “Khatanga. Heritage” took place in the atrium of the HSE building on Pokrovsky Boulevard, organized with the support of the Russian Geographical Society (RGS). As part of the educational project, photo materials with interactive excursions are presented, as well as a series of videos and a podcast, drawing attention to the cultural and environmental aspects of the region.

    The project became a logical continuation of a large-scale environmental campaign “Arctic. General cleaning”, during which work was carried out over two years to clean the banks of the village of Khatanga in the Krasnoyarsk Territory from accumulated metal waste. Volunteers from different parts of Russia took part in the expeditions, they carried out research, media and environmental activities. In three shifts, volunteers managed to remove more than 700 tons of industrial waste, which significantly improved the ecological situation in the area and made it possible to create an extensive archive of photo and video materials.

    As Andrey Lavrov, Senior Director of the National Research University Higher School of Economics, noted, the Russian Geographical Society has been a partner of the Higher School of Economics since 2022. He recalled that Faculty of Geography and Geoinformation Technologies HSE actively cooperates with the Russian Geographical Society, and the university students work a lot on Arctic topics, including within the framework of the project “Rediscovering Russia”. “It was important for us to tell the story of the Arctic, a strategically important territory for Russia, through such an exhibition,” said Andrei Lavrov.

    Russia is a huge country, it is almost impossible to see everything in it, says Professor Fuad Aleskerov, head of Department of Mathematics FEN HSE. “Such exhibitions give an understanding of where and what we have in our homeland. In addition, the photographs describe what our volunteers saw when they came to the Arctic to clean up trash. I myself participate in environmental projects, and support them financially. In this case, we need working hands, and if I were a student now, of course, I would go too,” he emphasized.

    Dmitry Kobets, a representative of the Russian Geographical Society and a visiting lecturer at the HSE Department of Mathematics, did not know in his student years that one could spend one’s vacation on an expedition and benefit entire regions. He believes that it is important to tell students about this opportunity by organizing such exhibitions.

    “I thought that an expedition was a matter for big scientists, but it turns out that it is not. The Russian Geographical Society (and not only it) provides an opportunity for young specialists who have just started their journey to go on an expedition. And there is no need to do complex scientific work. Maybe you just want to relax and change the intellectual vector of activity that prevailed from September to June. And after the expedition, you also create a good community,” added Dmitry Kobets.

    In total, four thematic virtual tours were prepared for the exhibition.

    1. “Khatanga. Three suns for luck”, which takes you into the world of creativity, where each photographic work carries its own unique emotion and story.

    2. “The cold raised me”, dedicated to the harsh Arctic region, which is currently home to less than 6,000 people: the history of Khatanga, its people, and its natural conditions.

    3. “Khatanga – this is us”, which tells about the members of the expedition: young photographers, scientists, journalists, athletes and managers.

    4. “A snowflake won’t melt” — a quiz journey for the exhibition’s youngest spectators.

    Modern technologies allow to treat even the smallest patients, including premature babies. Doctors perform high-tech operations both on the open heart and using gentle X-ray endovascular methods – without incisions. Such approaches help to avoid many complications and reduce the time the child stays in the hospital.

    Cardiology centers provide everything necessary: diagnostics before surgery, preparation for it, and observation after discharge for a year. If there are no contraindications, children can return to an active life and sports in a year.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Essay: Feeling the Vitality of Green Development on the Banks of the Turgusun River

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    ALMATY/WUHAN, June 17 (Xinhua) — In the northern Altai Mountains of Kazakhstan’s hilly East Kazakhstan region, coniferous forests stretch along forested slopes. The Turgusun River flows wildly amid the greenery.

    “It is now the flood season, and this is the time when the Turgusun hydroelectric power station generates the most energy,” Sun Peng, deputy director general of the Kazakhstan branch of China International Water and Energy Corporation, told Xinhua.

    The Turgusun hydroelectric power station was built under the leadership of this corporation. Construction began in January 2017, and the station was put into operation in July 2021. This is an important cooperation project between China and Kazakhstan, implemented within the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative. As part of this project, Sun Peng and his colleagues worked in this hard-to-reach mountainous area for four and a half years.

    “The installed capacity is 24.9 MW, the average annual electricity generation is 79.8 million kWh, the hydroelectric power station allows us to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by an average of 72 thousand tons annually,” Sun Peng, who was the head of the engineering department during the construction of the hydroelectric power station, is well versed in numbers. “The Turgusun hydroelectric power station has covered half of the electricity deficit in the Altai region of the East Kazakhstan region and has significantly contributed to the region’s transition to low-carbon development.”

    As Sun Peng spoke, a bee flew past him and landed on a wild flower. Bees are very sensitive to ecology, and their appearance often indicates clean air, clean water, and dense vegetation. The East Kazakhstan region is famous for its honey production, and there are many beekeepers living around the hydroelectric power station.

    “It /hydroelectric power station/ contributes not only to economic and social development, but also to the environmental friendliness of the East Kazakhstan region,” says Asset Maksut, director of the Turgusun company. “The hydroelectric power station helps reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. We implemented this project as part of the program of the government of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the development of green energy.”

    Thanks to the strict environmental standards of the Chinese-Kazakh construction team, rare species of cold-water fish continue to live in the Turgusun River.

    From environmental protection to promoting technological cooperation, the Turgusun HPP has demonstrated the importance of cross-border cooperation and has become a model for other clean energy projects. Sun Peng said that China International Water and Energy Corporation will continue to deepen cooperation with its Kazakh partners and work on other hydropower projects in the East Kazakhstan region, continuing to support the energy transition.

    “Kazakhstan is one of the priority markets for our overseas business development. For 20 years, we have been working hand in hand with the Kazakh side, overcoming all difficulties together, constantly strengthening cooperation in the energy sector, improving the well-being of the population, deepening mutual understanding between cultures and jointly promoting the prosperity and development of the region. In the future, we will continue to use our professional advantages in the fields of hydropower, electric power and clean energy to make new, even more significant contributions to building a more cohesive community with a shared future for China and Central Asia,” says Wan Qizhou, Chairman of the Board of Directors of China International Water and Energy Corporation.

    Here, on the banks of the Turgusun River, new hydropower projects are being developed, turning the idea of clean energy into reality. Thus, cooperation between China and Kazakhstan continues to develop, spreading to new areas. The story of green development of this land continues. –0–

    The capital has begun a large-scale reconstruction of the Pererva station of the second Moscow Central Diameter (MCD-2). A modern and convenient station integrated into the urban environment will be created here. The work is being carried out by Russian Railways together with the Moscow Government team.

    “Currently, 4.1 thousand passengers use the station daily. Our goal is to bring the infrastructure to the uniform high standards of Moscow transport, to provide city residents with quality service along the entire travel route. A team of the best specialists is already working on this. We continue large-scale work on the comprehensive renovation of MCD stations on behalf of Sergei Sobyanin,” said Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry

    Maxim Liksutov.

    Preparatory work has now begun on the territory of the Pererva station, including the organization of a construction camp and the reconstruction of utility lines.

    MCD stations are being modernized as part of the comprehensive development of the transport system and urban infrastructure. The reconstruction project of the Pererva MCD-2 station is aimed at creating a comfortable infrastructure that meets the high standards of Moscow transport, as well as improving the quality of the urban environment and transforming the territory around it.

    The station reconstruction project provides for a comprehensive upgrade of the passenger infrastructure. Two new pavilions with exits to Ilovaiskaya and Shosseynaya streets will be built here. A safe covered pedestrian crossing about 300 meters long will appear over the railway tracks, which will provide comfortable communication between the Maryino and Pechatniki districts in any weather.

    A significant change will be the replacement of the existing coastal platforms with one island platform equipped with a protective canopy along the entire length. The entrances and exits will be equipped with escalators, and elevators will be installed for people with limited mobility. Ticket offices, terminals and sanitary rooms will be located in the pavilions. After the completion of the work, the total area of the station will be 5.5 thousand square meters.

    Pererva station was opened in 1894. It was named after the village located here, known since the 16th century. Nearby is a motorcar depot of the same name, which is more than 87 years old. Here they inspect and repair the MCD electric rolling stock.

    Today, Pererva connects three districts – Maryino, Lyublino and Pechatniki, where more than half a million city residents live. Construction is actively developing around the station: new residential microdistricts and infrastructure are appearing. Since 2019, the number of city residents living nearby has grown by more than 30 thousand people.

    BEIJING, June 17 (Xinhua) — Intangible cultural heritage (ICH) workshops have become a powerful engine for rural development in China.

    According to official data, there are currently over 11,000 such workshops in the country, which play an active role in preserving and developing traditional crafts, creating jobs and stimulating the local economy.

    These workshops are located in 2,005 county-level administrative areas, including 670 formerly poor counties and 135 key counties that received assistance under the national rural revitalization program, and have provided employment to more than 1.2 million people in related industries.

    Notably, more than 4,300 workshops operate directly in villages, providing flexible working conditions that are particularly suitable for the elderly, women and people with disabilities – they can work from their place of residence and receive daily wages.

    The Chinese government has been actively promoting the role of intangible cultural heritage in cultural preservation and economic development. In December 2021, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the People’s Republic of China and other central government departments issued a regulation specifically regulating the establishment and operation of ICH workshops, focusing on cultivating talented successors, creating jobs, and supporting the development of traditional crafts.

    At the local level, 18 provincial-level administrative units have put forward similar policies. These policies concern the certification of ICH workshops, the management of these establishments, the provision of financial and marketing assistance to them, and the regulation of the allocation of necessary resources to ensure their development.

    In Zhejiang Province, for example, a “workshop plus farmers” mechanism was established in Xiaoshan District, whereby the provincial-level NCI workshop signed contracts to supply Xiaoshan pickled radish, the craft of which is listed in the NCI register of the said province, with more than 40,000 local farmers, resulting in the production value of this delicacy reaching 300 million yuan (about 42 million US dollars) in 2024.

    As of March 2025, the number of artisans who inherit state-level intangible cultural heritage in China has increased to nearly 4,000. -0-

  • MIL-OSI Russia: IMF Executive Board Concludes 2025 Article IV Consultation with Namibia

    Source: IMF – News in Russian

    June 17, 2025

    • Namibia’s economy faces challenges from heightened global trade policy tensions, increased weather shocks, a structural shift in the global diamond market, and high structural unemployment.
    • Ensuring macroeconomic stability requires maintaining fiscal prudence while creating space for growth-enhancing measures, managing the monetary policy to safeguard the peg, and enhancing the resilience of the financial sector.
    • To generate employment through inclusive private sector-led growth that is weather-shock-resilient, bold structural reforms are essential. Additionally, a comprehensive strategy is needed to leverage the potential opportunities presented by recent oil discoveries.

    Washington, DC: The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) completed the Article IV Consultation for Namibia.[1] The authorities have consented to the publication of the Staff Report prepared for this consultation.[2]

    Namibia’s economic growth decelerated from 5.4 percent in 2022 to 3.7 percent in 2024 as a decline in production in response to lower diamond prices outweighed momentum stemming from rising gold and uranium prices. Oil exploration plateaued in 2024 following a spike in 2023, while agriculture contracted sharply due to the drought of 2023–24, the most severe in a century. Inflation has fallen, reflecting a drop in food and fuel prices in international markets.

    Looking ahead, growth is projected to remain subdued in the near and medium term. The end of the drought is expected to boost growth in 2025; however, increased global trade policy uncertainty, particularly related to U.S. tariffs, and the weak diamond market will dampen momentum, with growth forecast at 3¾ percent for 2025 and 2026. Over the medium term, growth is projected to be about 3 percent, constrained by structural rigidities despite increased public capital expenditure. Average CPI inflation is projected to ease to 4.1 percent in 2025 and remain around 4.5 percent in the medium term.

    Risks to the outlook are tilted to the downside. Key external downside risks include commodity price fluctuations, further worsening of global trade tensions, a deepening of economic fragmentation, and tighter global financial conditions. Domestic downside risks include social discontent resulting from continued high unemployment and inequality and increased volatility associated with weather shocks. Upside risks include an easing of global trade policy tensions and faster development of oil, gas, and green hydrogen projects.

    Executive Board Assessment[3]

    Executive Directors agreed with the thrust of the staff appraisal. They took positive note of Namibia’s economic resilience, with slowing inflation and improved external position, despite the challenging external environment and welcomed the new government’s commitment to fostering inclusive growth and build resilience to climate shocks. Noting the subdued growth outlook reflecting global trade policy uncertainty and domestic structural rigidities, high unemployment, and inequality, Directors emphasized the need for further efforts to harness Namibia’s economic potential and raise per capita income by promoting a private sector led, inclusive, weather resilient, and diversified economy.

    Directors welcomed the authorities’ commitment to maintaining fiscal discipline and creating space for growth enhancing measures. They called for sustained and larger fiscal consolidation over the medium term to entrench the favorable public debt dynamics and strengthen the external position. Directors stressed the need to accelerate fiscal reforms including enacting a comprehensive civil service reform to contain the wage bill, state owned enterprise reforms, strengthening public financial and investment management, and enhancing tax administration to solidify fiscal consolidation. At the same time, they recommended increasing public investment to enhance growth, expanding social protection, and building resilience to weather shocks. They encouraged the authorities to continue their efforts to establish, with Fund technical assistance, a strong governance framework for the sovereign wealth fund and a natural resource management framework to safeguard long term macroeconomic stability and support economic development.

    In the absence of capital outflows, Directors recommended gradually aligning the policy rate with that of the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) to safeguard the currency peg, taking advantage of SARB’s rate reductions. They stressed, however, that the Bank of Namibia should remain vigilant to economic conditions.

    Directors welcomed the continued progress in enhancing financial sector resilience, notably through the introduction of the bank resolution policy. They encouraged the authorities to continue to monitor risks including from the sovereign bank nexus and household debt. Directors recommended finalizing additional policy measures, including counter cyclical capital buffers and strengthened cooperation on crisis resolution. Continued efforts to strengthen the AML/CFT framework are crucial to expedite removal from the FATF grey list.

    Directors highlighted that bold structural reforms are essential to fostering sustainable, inclusive, and private sector led growth and improving external competitiveness. They recommended addressing key barriers, including by improving human capital and reducing skill mismatches, enhancing the business climate, strengthening governance, and fostering digitalization. Directors supported developing a set of policies aimed at harnessing prospective oil, gas, and green hydrogen for economic diversification and job creation.

    It is expected that the next Article IV Consultation with Namibia will be held on the standard 12-month cycle.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: With the support of Rosneft, scientists are conducting research on forest reindeer in the Tyumen region

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Rosneft – Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    With the support of RN-Uvatneftegaz (part of the oil production complex of NK Rosneft), scientists from the Tobolsk Scientific Station of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences conducted large-scale monitoring of the territories of the Kunyak Nature Reserve during the implementation of a project to study forest reindeer.

    Ecologists were able to obtain over 100 thousand images as a result of aerial monitoring, which covered an area of almost 60 thousand hectares. The array of unique data will form the basis for assessing the population size of the forest reindeer, which is listed in the Red Book of the Tyumen Region. At the next stage of the project, scientists plan to develop a set of measures to protect the habitat and increase the population size of the rare species.

    The RN-Uvatneftegaz program for the study and conservation of forest reindeer is of great practical importance for the Tyumen region – research has not been conducted in the region for more than 20 years, and there is currently no current information on the state of the population. Earlier, during the scientific project, scientists were able to confirm the fact of the deer’s permanent habitation on the territory of the reserve.

    Over the past five years, with grant support from RN-Uvatneftegaz, scientists have implemented several research projects of practical importance for preserving the biodiversity of the Tyumen region, including programs to assess the status of populations of rare and protected species of birds and animals.

    Responsible attitude to the environment is an integral part of the corporate culture and one of the key principles of the activities of Rosneft and its subsidiaries. RN-Uvatneftegaz is implementing a comprehensive program for the study and conservation of natural resources in the Uvatsky District, including the use of advanced technological solutions.

    Reference:

    RN-Uvatneftegaz LLC, a subsidiary of Rosneft Oil Company, is conducting exploration and development of a group of fields located in the Uvatsky District of the Tyumen Region and the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug-Yugra. The Uvatsky project includes 19 licensed areas with a total area of over 25 thousand square kilometers.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: The prospects for urban development were discussed at the A.A. Vysokovsky Forum at the National Research University Higher School of Economics

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: State University Higher School of Economics – State University Higher School of Economics –

    The annual A.A. Vysokovsky Forum, organized by the Faculty of Urban and Regional Development, was held at the National Research University Higher School of Economics. Should development projects be adjusted to the interests of residents, will New Moscow become a new point of attraction, and what will the opening of the A101 Group basic department give to HSE? All this was discussed by officials, business representatives, teachers and experts.

    © Higher School of Economics

    As the head of the Higher School of Urban Studies named after A.A. Vysokovsky, Ruslan Goncharov, noted at the beginning of the presentation of the basic department of the A101 Group, education in urban studies at the HSE can be obtained within the framework of a bachelor’s degree, a master’s degree, a postgraduate degree, and additional professional education. Since the establishment of the school in 2011, more than 600 graduates have completed the educational programs, more than 80% of whom work in their specialty.

    “Very often, many educational platforms discuss the gap in competencies, the discrepancy between graduates and the demands of the labor market, and HSE is doing everything it can to overcome this gap. The faculty organizes workshops and summer schools with industry partners for its students, invites expert practitioners to teach, launches partner courses and educational projects with leading industry organizations. The opening of the Basic Department of the A101 company will help HSE prepare highly qualified personnel in the field of development. This will allow, among other things, “to conduct classes on current issues of integrated urban development, regularly organize expert and public events with industry representatives, and conduct interdisciplinary research in the field of integrated urban development in general and New Moscow in particular. As part of practical classes in the faculty’s educational programs, specific cases from the A101 Group portfolio will be analyzed,” noted Ruslan Goncharov.

    Ruslan Goncharov expects successful synergy with the new partner of the HSE. One of the areas of work of the new department will be the development of the Urban School program for schoolchildren. As the scientific director of the basic department “A101” Maxim Gurvich noted: “Immersing children in the urban agenda from school is the most correct decision.”

    “We are building a city where there are all the opportunities for people to communicate, spend time together, play sports or hobbies, and unite by interests. This creates the very high-quality environment that leads to the growth of social ties. A high-quality environment is created not only by the developer, but also by the people themselves, without them there will be no city. And our task is to help them spend more time with their neighbors, attend cultural and educational events, play sports together – and all this close to their home. This is why we are actively working with district communities. Doing sociology, we found out that a district becomes a real home when you do not just walk from the metro to your apartment, but when you do something together with those who live next to you. And the potential of these connections is huge,” said Dmitry Tsvetov.

    Mikhail Blinkin, the academic director of the Faculty of Urban and Regional Development at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, who was present at the event, asked whether residents of New Moscow would have to sit in traffic jams to get to work in Moscow. According to Dmitry Tsvetov, 30% of residents already work where they live. But the company has ambitious plans here too. “We want there to be more jobs than residents,” Dmitry Tsvetov sets his goal. In particular, the construction of business centers in New Moscow will contribute to this.

    The topic of local community development was continued by Elena Bulin-Sokolova, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Head of the Educational Bureau “A101 Lerniti”: “We build cities in which people want to live, including ourselves. A city is not only comfortable modern housing, it is also a social infrastructure – spaces and events in which you can get involved, finding something to your liking. And a city is also people,” Elena noted.

    “A101 Lernity” creates spaces for family centers and neighborhood clubs, open workshops and public lounges, street cinemas and sports grounds, initiating programs, projects and various events, involving residents themselves and local businesses in their organization, whether it is the revival of the culture of yard games or holding children’s maker summer programs; engineering hackathons for or career guidance internships for teenagers, pedagogical lectures or culinary parties, inter-district sports competitions or huge good-neighborly festivals for everyone – all this helps residents get to know the territory and each other, unites them around interesting things, contributes to the formation of communities.

    As Kirill Puzanov, associate professor at the Higher School of Urban Studies, noted: “A good city is a city that provides a minimum of necessary and a maximum of possible options for its use. Space should provide various options for use at different times and for different categories of citizens,” he is convinced.

    Historian and local historian Denis Romodin, in turn, said that tourism outside the city is currently developing at a rapid pace. In many cities in the Moscow region, new communities have emerged that actively conduct excursions for Muscovites, and they are conducted by young 20-year-olds. “And this is, in general, a very good idea, because it excites such local patriotism, explaining why my region is unique,” says Denis Romodin. At the same time, according to him, such processes are happening not only in historically interesting areas. Such communities interested in their city also exist in New Moscow – for example, in Troitsk.

    Dean of the Faculty of Urban and Regional Development at the National Research University Higher School of Economics Evgeny Mikhaylenko emphasized the importance of comprehensive improvement of urban infrastructure and creation of comfortable living conditions on the sidelines of the event. This contributes to both social and economic development of new districts, and also makes them more unique. “The rejection of uniform standards is the main task and guideline of modern urban policy aimed at diversity of the urban environment. This approach allows each district to acquire its own unique individuality, which makes it especially valuable and beloved by residents. Moreover, the uniqueness of new districts attracts the attention of not only local residents, but also neighboring territories, contributing to the formation of additional urban centers,” he explained.

    During the discussions within the forum, experts also spoke about what changes city residents can expect in terms of transport. Thus, according to Olga Morozova, Director of Strategic Projects of the Department of Transport and Development of Road Transport Infrastructure of the City of Moscow, the first driverless tram has already successfully started operating in Moscow. It has already covered more than 5 thousand km without a single traffic violation. Last year, the next stage of this test began – the launch of an unmanned tram with passengers under the control of a test driver. Already in the fall of 2025, it is planned to launch a completely unmanned tram for regular trips along the route with passengers.

    Continuing the discussion about the transport of the future, Evgeny Mikhailenko shared a forecast for the emergence of new types of real estate and infrastructure related to modern means of mobility, for example, transport hubs for drones, which will contribute to the multifunctionality of urban spaces and the development of a “smart city” that adapts to the demands of the time.

    Another significant event of the Forum was the awarding of Professor of the Faculty of Urban and Regional Development of the National Research University Higher School of Economics Sergey Sivaev with the departmental award of the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities of the Russian Federation, the medal “For Impeccable Labor and Diligence” of the 3rd degree.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Polytechnic University Leads in Number of Medals at the “I Am a Professional” Olympiad

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University – Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University –

    The results of the VIII season of the All-Russian student Olympiad “I am a professional” of the presidential platform have been summed up “Russia is a country of opportunity”. St. Petersburg entered the top 3 regions in terms of the number of diploma winners. Students of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University won 9 medals: 4 gold, 2 silver and 3 bronze. All-Russian Student Olympiad “I am a professional” is being implemented within the framework of the federal project “Russia – the Country of Opportunities” of the national project “Youth and Children” with the support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia.

    In the 8th season, the Olympiad “I am a professional” united 185,610 students from 89 regions of Russia, who competed in 71 areas. Polytechnic organized two of them: “Mechanical engineering” and “Hotel business”.

    High results of participation in the Olympiad “I am a professional” – an indicator that competitive personnel are trained in the universities of St. Petersburg. Year after year, students demonstrate an increasingly high level of training. In the VIII season, participants received 708 diplomas of the Olympiad “I am a professional”, and the best results were demonstrated by students of St. Petersburg State University, National Research University ITMO and Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, – noted the head of the Olympiad “I am a professional” Valeria Kasamara.

    Olympiad diploma winners will be able to complete internships at major companies and take advantage of benefits when entering the next level of education, and medalists will receive cash prizes of up to 300 thousand rubles.

    A distinctive feature of the Olympiad is the fact that students can participate in any direction, regardless of their educational profile. This allows them to take a different look at their career track, deepen their knowledge, and gain new experience. This meets the demand from the industry for well-trained multidisciplinary specialists ready to solve the most complex problems. We involved colleagues from the industry in compiling practice-oriented tasks. We are confident that this allowed the participants to get to know their future profession better, – noted Vitaly Drobchik, Advisor to the Rector’s Office of SPbPU and organizer of the Olympiad at the Polytechnic University.

    It should be noted that Polytechnic students won medals in such areas as mechanical engineering, hotel business, robotics, oil and gas, thermal power engineering and heat engineering, electric power engineering, and construction.
