    The Zvezda shipbuilding complex held a keel-laying ceremony for two bulk carriers. In honor of the anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, they were named Mikhail Egorov and Meliton Kantaria, Heroes of the Soviet Union who raised the Victory Banner over the Reichstag. Their names are inscribed on the commemorative keel-laying plates of the future bulk carriers.

    Mikhail Egorov and Meliton Kantaria were scouts of the 756th Rifle Regiment of the 150th Rifle Division of the 3rd Shock Army of the 1st Belorussian Front. On May 1, 1945, they raised the red banner of the Military Council of the 3rd Shock Army over the Reichstag, which became the Victory Banner. For this feat, the scouts were awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union.

    In honor of the anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, Rosneft organizes and actively participates in patriotic events that help strengthen historical memory, foster civic responsibility, and preserve cultural heritage.

    The bulk carriers are designed to transport bulk cargo. Cutting of parts for two vessels started in February this year. Mikhail Egorov and Meliton Kantaria will be the first in a series of five coal carriers being built at Zvezda Shipyard. The bulk carrier is 229 m long, 34.5 m wide, and has a deadweight of about 86,400 t. The main engine has a capacity of over 6.8 thousand kW.

    The construction of ships at the Zvezda Shipyard helps to increase the efficiency of coal transportation through the use of water transport.

    Reference:

    The Zvezda shipbuilding complex is being created in the city of Bolshoy Kamen in Primorsky Krai on the instructions of the President of Russia. The project operator is PAO NK Rosneft.

    Today, Zvezda Shipyard is the most modern shipyard in Russia, specializing in the construction of all types of large-tonnage civil vessels, icebreakers and marine equipment. In total, the shipyard has already launched 12 vessels. The shipyard’s portfolio includes more than 60 orders.

    Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University opened a new joint program at the SCO Institute of Trade and Economics in Qingdao (Shandong Province) to prepare Chinese applicants for admission to Russian universities. At the signing ceremony, our university was represented by the Director of the Center for Russian as a Foreign Language of the Higher School of International Educational Programs, Alexey Pavlov, and the SCO Institute was represented by its Director, Zheng Shi.

    We have been cooperating with the Higher School of International Educational Programs of SPbPU for two years now with the help of our regular partner Globus International Ltd. And now we are opening a center where schoolchildren will not only study, but will also have the opportunity to take the Russian language exam according to the TRKI system. This is very important for Chinese applicants and their parents, – said Mr. Zheng Shi.

    For his part, Alexey Pavlov noted: I have personally observed the huge interest of Chinese schoolchildren in studying at Russian universities. I am confident that our center will have a long and successful career. Qualified teachers from the Higher School of International Educational Programs of the Polytechnic University will participate in both the preparation of Chinese applicants and in the advanced training of Chinese teachers of Russian as a foreign language.

    Director of the Higher School of International Trade and Economics Viktor Krasnoshchyokov called the opening of the center a logical stage of fruitful cooperation with the SCO Trade and Economic Institute.

    Improving the quality of training for Chinese applicants is our top priority. The Higher School’s methodologists are constantly improving the methodology for teaching Russian outside the language environment, he emphasized.

    The strongest school of engineering education of the Polytechnic University enjoys well-deserved authority in China. We strive to fulfill the high standards set by the state for the number of foreign students, while not reducing, but constantly improving the quality of their training. This is impossible without the introduction of innovative forms and technologies of training, one of which is the creation of remote preparatory departments, – summed up the Vice-Rector for International Affairs of SPbPU Dmitry Arsenyev.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: “We are facing changes in sanctions and counter-sanctions procedures”

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Higher School of Economics launches new DPO program “The State and Business in the Age of Sanctions: Strategies for Successful Development”, where training is provided by leading experts in the field of analysis of sanctions risks and trends from relevant government agencies, businesses, and academies. Its students will be able to study in detail the risks for Russian companies and their foreign partners, including those related to export restrictions.

    The additional professional education program “State and Business in the Age of Sanctions: Strategies for Successful Development” was presented during the scientific and practical seminar “State and Business in the Age of Sanctions: Trends and Risks of 2025”, organized within the framework of the HSE Academic Personnel Reserve project “New World Order”.

    Seminar moderator, leading research fellow at the Centre for Comprehensive European and International Studies (CCEIS) at the National Research University Higher School of Economics Leo Sokolshchik said that it is intended for those who work with foreign counterparties and are interested in forming customized strategies for successful development. The program will study key sanctions trends and risks of 2025, their impact on business, the economy and political strategy of states.

    Leo Sokolshchik

    The training program includes a survival guide for Russian businesses, information on legal ways to work with foreign partners and the formation of sustainable international business partnerships in the context of sanctions risks. The sanctions policies of the US, EU and China, as well as Russia’s response measures, will be examined in detail.

    At the same time, the program is practice-oriented: the training structure involves immersion in real cases and situations that one may encounter in professional activities. Studying on the course will not only increase the level of professional competencies, but will also allow you to expand your network of professional contacts.

    The teachers of the continuing education program include leading experts and practitioners in the field of international restrictions and export control: Ivan Timofeev, Director General of the Russian International Affairs Council; Dmitry Kiku, Deputy Director of the Department for Control over External Restrictions of the Ministry of Finance of Russia; Maria Roskoshnaya, Head of Export Control and Support of Foreign Economic Activity at Yandex; Vladimir Morozov, Leading Advisor of the Department of International and Regional Cooperation of the Accounts Chamber; Vasily Kashin, Director of the Center for Cemistry and International Studies, an expert on China and its relations with foreign partners; Yegor Prokhin, a visiting lecturer at HSE and a practitioner who has worked in international business with China and the countries of Southeast Asia for over 10 years; Inna Yanikeyeva, a lecturer at the National Research University Higher School of Economics and a specialist in cyber sanctions.

    At the seminar, the program’s teachers held their master classes. RIAC Director General Ivan Timofeev presented a master class on the topic “Trends in Anti-Russian Sanctions in 2025: the Split of the West and New Risks.” He noted that it should be remembered that sanctions are a foreign policy instrument that is implemented non-linearly; escalation and normalization do not mean their immediate strengthening and weakening. Now, for the first time in three years, a window of opportunity has opened, allowing us to talk about a probable easing of sanctions, but risks remain. In his opinion, one should be cautious about forecasts about a possible agreement, since the negotiations are taking place behind closed doors. If they fail, escalation is possible.

    Ivan Timofeev noted: currently, most of the bills on sanctions in the US Congress are aimed against China and Iran, but if any of the initiatives against Russia is adopted, this will strengthen the regime of anti-Russian sanctions. Escalation is also possible along the EU line, but most likely, it will be accompanied by seizures and quotas on some types of products.

    At the same time, voluntary control or self-regulation in advanced industries is increasing. Thus, in recent years, there has been a noticeable rapprochement between representatives of the regulator and business. The Alliance of AI Companies, together with the FSTEC of Russia, created and signed the Declaration on the Responsible Export of Artificial Intelligence Technologies and Software Based on Them. The Declaration establishes ethical principles and standards of conduct that developers should follow when exporting their own civil AI solutions. The standards include general principles and rules and specific recommendations on interactions with foreign counterparties and authorized government agencies.

    Maria Roskoshnaya drew attention to changes in the work of specialists. Previously, it was enough for them to know their niche and work algorithm, but now, due to the frequent emergence of new challenges, they have to regularly monitor changes in the export control of key partners. For example, when implementing a deal with China or the UAE, it is mandatory for experts to analyze the export control legislation of these countries. In addition, it is important to monitor innovations in counter-sanction regulation, including bans on the purchase of certain products, as well as on making payments in certain countries.

    “We are facing changes in sanctions and counter-sanction procedures. It is important to expand the range of knowledge, not limited to technical details and knowledge of the final recipients and final destination of the goods. For businesses, this means finding optimal logistics routes, opportunities for making payments without restrictions, combining the interests of logisticians, lawyers and financiers,” the expert said.

    She noted that difficulties may arise when continuing to interact with companies that left Russia after 2022. These aspects are currently monitored by counter-sanction compliance services, when it is necessary to justify and argue for continued cooperation with companies from unfriendly jurisdictions.

    At the master class “EU Sanctions in 2025: Strategies for Russia”, Vladimir Morozov explained that the possibility of using sanctions as a tool for achieving foreign policy goals is embedded in the legal foundations of the EU. They can be used for a wide range of reasons – from accusations of violating international law to the goals of protecting human rights. He called an important feature of EU sanctions their adoption at the supranational level with national supervision of their implementation, which gives rise to contradictions and certain difficulties in their implementation. The diversity of regimes, as well as national legislation and law enforcement practices, makes it difficult to navigate EU sanctions.

    Europe often seeks to counteract secondary sanctions from other countries, including the United States, by allowing restrictions against third countries, individuals and companies to be ignored. However, European companies often seek to take into account sanctions risks and implement “overcompliance” in this area, not wanting to lose the American market and the ability to make payments in dollars.

    Since 2022, the European Commission has been playing an increasingly important role in introducing restrictions, and national institutions are experiencing increasing pressure from supranational institutions, including in tightening penalties for violating sanctions. If administrative liability was previously possible, now it is regarded as a criminal offense. The expert drew attention to the difference in approaches to punishments and investigations. The largest number of them is noted in Poland. The largest number of prison sentences is in the Netherlands, but for a short or suspended term. In Germany, the number of sentences is small, but the terms reach 7 years, and in Finland there are many successful investigations, but the punishments are mainly limited to a fine of 11,000 to 15,000 euros.

    The current stage of the EU sanctions policy development is characterized by gradual de-targeting of sanctions, i.e. the desire to inflict maximum damage, as well as active coordination of its own measures with partners, primarily with the United States. If in 2014-16 the EU measures lagged behind the American ones, then since 2022 they have been mostly synchronized. Another trend in European policy has been the active use of the secondary sanctions mechanism. In particular, in 2024 an amendment was adopted, according to which restrictions are imposed against companies and individuals from third countries who worked with Russian sanctioned persons and companies.

    Vladimir Morozov named the EU’s readiness to maintain the priority of political goals over economic feasibility as key factors and risks of the continuation, strengthening and, on the contrary, easing of sanctions, given that Europe has suffered greater losses than the US during the sanctions war with Russia.

    Egor Prokhin, in his master class “Formation of Sustainable Business Partnerships in the Context of Sanction Risks,” noted that over the past decades, sanctions have achieved their goals in about one third of cases. According to him, the greatest success was achieved against small states with insufficiently diversified and import-dependent economies.

    Sanctions, along with challenges, also open up new opportunities, noted Yegor Prokhin. The loss of sales markets in Europe and other Western countries has become an incentive to reorient towards developing markets in Asia.

    In conclusion, he emphasized that in order to establish successful cooperation with foreign companies on the Russian market, it is necessary to adapt business strategies taking into account the current sanctions restrictions. In his opinion, such an approach should be comprehensive and include: analysis of companies, their beneficiaries and legal relations for sanctions risks; assessment of industry and territorial sanctions applicable to the planned cooperation; development of solutions and tools for optimizing commercial interactions under restrictions.

    Additionally, he recommended creating “road maps” for partners to manage sanctions risks and developing alternative action scenarios aimed at minimizing the potential negative impact on business partnerships.

    If the parties manage to reach a truce, American businesses will influence the administration to soften the sanctions, without officially lifting them, but introducing certain exceptions for transportation restrictions and bans on bank transactions.

    “For a number of industries, the easing of sanctions will have a positive effect on their development, while for others, on the contrary, it will have a negative effect,” Ivan Timofeev noted. He is confident that if the negotiations are successful, the process of easing sanctions will be long and may take more than a decade. Lev Sokolshchik emphasized that the lifting of sanctions may turn into a risk for certain sectors of the domestic economy.

    Maria Roskoshnaya held a master class “Export control: instructions for use. How not to break the rules and not lose markets.” She noted that export control is now considered more broadly than in the traditional sense – in particular, advanced industrial developments and even luxury goods are now subject to special supervision. The range of transactions subject to regulation is also growing – in addition to the usual tangible exports, experts often deal with supervision of the export of technology and software. The share of intangible exports is also growing, especially in high-tech industries, and the forms of transactions are also unusual. For example, it is often necessary to identify open source software or software, access to which is provided under the SaaS model. The state can regulate and restrict, and sometimes prohibit the export and international exchange of know-how, industrial products or raw materials, the lack of which can negatively affect the domestic market.

    Russia continues to participate in the development and modification of framework legislation at the international level, since it is a member state of all regimes except the Australian Group (our country has observer status there). It should be understood that each member state of the international export control regime forms a national control system, harmonizing it with the international base. Now we can observe a tendency to strengthen non-proliferation control precisely in the area of finalizing national legislative measures and initiatives.

    At the same time, voluntary control or self-regulation in advanced industries is increasing. Thus, in recent years, there has been a noticeable rapprochement between representatives of the regulator and business. The Alliance of AI Companies, together with the FSTEC of Russia, created and signed the Declaration on the Responsible Export of Artificial Intelligence Technologies and Software Based on Them. The Declaration establishes ethical principles and standards of conduct that developers should follow when exporting their own civil AI solutions. The standards include general principles and rules and specific recommendations on interactions with foreign counterparties and authorized government agencies.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Polytechnic joined the memorial event at Piskarevsky Memorial

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

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

    On May 6, students, teachers and staff of the Polytechnic University took part in a memorial event at the Piskarevskoye Memorial Cemetery. They laid flowers at the Motherland monument and the mass grave of the Polytechnic students.

    The participants of the action gathered at the Monument to the Fallen Polytechnicians, where they were addressed by the Vice-Rector for Youth Policy and Communication Technologies of SPbPU, Maxim Pasholikov.

    Today we remember the heroism of Leningrad during the Great Patriotic War. I hope that this event will become traditional for us. Some of you have already visited Piskarevskoye Cemetery, the largest memorial burial ground in the world, where more than half a million people are buried. Of these, only ten percent are military personnel, the rest are residents of the besieged city. An open book is engraved on one of the gravestones. Among those buried there are our polytechnicians, who were engaged in science, studied and were the heart of the Polytechnic Institute during the war. Every year on May 9, my family and I lay flowers at Piskarevskoye Cemetery. On this day, many Leningraders and St. Petersburgers come here to honor the memory of the fallen. Sometimes there are so many flowers that you can’t even see the memorial and the slabs. I would like you to have such a tradition, – shared Maxim Pasholikov.

    The participants of the event were presented with St. George ribbons and flowers. After that, the polytechnicians walked several kilometers to the Piskarevsky Memorial.

    Piskarevskoye Cemetery became the main burial place for the victims of the Leningrad siege. During the Great Patriotic War, trenches were dug on the cemetery’s territory for unmarked mass graves, where more than 470 thousand people were buried. The memorial began to be developed in 1955: the mounds of mass graves were raised, flowers and trees were planted. Later, a six-meter bronze statue of a woman holding an oak wreath was installed, which became a symbol of maternal grief and the memory of the dead. Her gaze is directed towards the mass graves.

    Students, teachers and staff laid flowers and a wreath with the inscription “From the Polytechnicians” at the Motherland monument.

    After that we went to grave #176, where the students and employees of our university, victims of the siege, found their final resting place. They were buried under a stone with an image of an open book, on which the date “1942” was carved.

    During the hardest, frostiest and hungriest winter of 1941-1942, students belonged to the category of the population supplied with food at a minimum, that is, they received those same 125 grams of bread during the blockade. And the mortality rate among them was very high. Several hundred of our students are buried in grave No. 176. This is a memorial place for all polytechnicians, – said Ivan Kolomeitsev.

    The participants of the procession laid flowers on the gravestone and honored the memory of the victims.

    The first person to visit the Piskarevskoye Cemetery was a third-year student at the Institute of Metallurgical and Technical Sciences, Andrei Ushakov.

    I moved to St. Petersburg from the Moscow region. For two and a half years, I have not been able to visit the memorial. But I am glad that such an event, organized by our university, helps to fill this gap. The residents of Leningrad accomplished a real feat, having endured the siege for 900 days. It is very important to remember this, because the tragic events had a huge impact on world history and the history of our country, – Andrey Ushakov noted.

    Third-year student of the Institute of Mathematics, Economics and Telecommunications Anastasia Nikitina is a third-generation St. Petersburg resident. Their family also has a tradition of laying flowers at the Broken Ring memorial on May 9.

    The memory of the heroism of the city where I was born and live is very dear to me. I think it is important that today we have gathered together to lay flowers at the Piskarevskoye Memorial. I admire that the Polytechnic pays great attention to preserving the memory of the heroes of the Great Patriotic War. For example, my mother and I watch the student video blog “Memory of Glory is Alive” with great interest. The stories on the information pedestals located on the territory of the university are also informative, – said Anastasia Nikitina.

    Deputy Director of the Institute of Mechanics and Technology Maxim Ivanov annually takes part in the “Immortal Regiment” campaign with his family and tries to visit the Piskarevskoye Cemetery.

    My parents have been telling me about the contribution of Polytechnicians to the Victory since childhood. After all, they met at the Polytechnic and studied together at the mechanical engineering department. It is important that our university has another campaign dedicated to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War. It is nice to see that many students are participating in it. After all, we are passing on the memory of our ancestors, which should live forever, – shared Maxim Ivanov.

    NANJING, May 7 (Xinhua) — An event dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and cultural exchanges among the youth of China, Russia and Belarus was held at the Nanjing Anti-Japanese War Airmen’s Martyrs’ Memorial Museum in Nanjing, east China’s Jiangsu Province, on Wednesday, honoring the memory of Soviet heroes who died in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

    The event was attended by representatives of the Russian Consulate General in Shanghai and the Belarusian Consulate General in Shanghai, as well as students and schoolchildren from the three countries.

    The event participants jointly honored the memory of Soviet heroes who died in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression by laying wreaths and flowers at the monument and memorial steles on the museum grounds.

    Speaking at the event, Vice Chairman of the Nanjing City Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) Jin Weidong noted that more than 80 years ago, during the most difficult period of the Chinese People’s Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the government and people of the Soviet Union extended a helping hand in a timely manner. During this assistance, 236 Soviet airmen sacrificed their lives for the just cause of the anti-fascist struggle and the liberation of the Chinese people.

    “Their heroic deeds and high spirit will forever remain engraved in the hearts of the Chinese people and peoples around the world,” he stressed, expressing hope that through cultural interaction, the youth of China, Russia and Belarus will be able to better understand each other’s cultures, strengthen mutual understanding, deepen friendly ties and lay a solid foundation for future in-depth cooperation and exchanges.

    According to Dmitry Lukyantsev, the Russian Consul General in Shanghai, the short but capacious word “Victory” for any Russian or Chinese stands for the courage and heroism of millions of soldiers, the intense and hard work in the rear. “This word is a symbol of pride, courage, dignity and fortitude of our peoples,” he said.

    “In 45 cities of China, including Nanjing, about 50 monuments to Soviet soldiers who died in the anti-Japanese war of the Chinese people have been erected. In the PRC, the memory of the fallen Soviet soldiers is carefully honored, their graves are carefully looked after. We are grateful to the Chinese government for this,” said Olga Krivets, Vice Consul of Belarus in Shanghai.

    The event also released updated information on the 18 Soviet volunteers who died in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

    The updated and supplemented list of fallen heroes includes their full names, dates of birth and death, military ranks and specific positions.

    Established in 2009, the Nanjing Anti-Japanese War Airmen’s Martyrs’ Memorial Museum is China’s first memorial museum for international airmen who died in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

    Its collection contains rich historical materials on the air forces of China, the Soviet Union, the United States and other countries that fought together against the Japanese invaders in China during World War II. -0-

    NEW DELHI, May 7 (Xinhua) — The Indian government on Wednesday confirmed airstrikes on nine identified “terrorist training camps” in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir.

    According to local media, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally monitored the airstrikes.

    Reports said the airstrikes were carried out as part of Operation Sindoor, which targets women whose husbands were killed on April 22 in Pahalgam district of Indian-controlled Kashmir.

    The attack, which left 26 people dead, was described as the worst attack on tourists in Indian-controlled Kashmir in decades and has escalated tensions between India and Pakistan.

    The Indian Ministry of Defence announced in a press release the launch of Operation Sindoor, targeting “terrorist infrastructure” in Pakistan and Pakistan-controlled Kashmir from where “terrorist attacks” against India were planned and carried out.

    “A total of nine targets were struck. Our actions were targeted, measured and non-escalatory. No Pakistani military installations were attacked. India demonstrated considerable restraint in the choice of targets and the methods of their execution,” the statement said.

    The move comes in response to the April 22 attack on tourists in Pahalgam in Indian-controlled Kashmir, which left 25 Indians and one Nepalese national dead.

    The head of the Inter-Services Public Relations, the Pakistani army’s media wing, said on Wednesday that at least eight civilians, including a child, had been killed, 35 others were injured and two were missing in missiles fired by India. -0-

    BEIJING, May 7 (Xinhua) — China’s central bank said Wednesday it will combine the quotas of two monetary policy tools to further support the capital market.

    The swap facility for securities, fund and insurance companies (SFISF), with an initial capacity of 500 billion yuan (about $69.4 billion), and the 300 billion yuan re-lending facility that supports share buybacks and share expansion, will be implemented within a total quota of 800 billion yuan, according to the People’s Bank of China (PBOC, the central bank).

    The decision, which took effect on Wednesday, is expected to make the two mechanisms more convenient and flexible to better meet the needs of different types of institutions and strengthen the inherent stability of the capital market, the PBOC said in a statement.

    Both instruments, launched in October last year to strengthen the capital market, operated in accordance with market principles and played a positive role in ensuring the stable operation of the capital market, the Central Bank said in a statement.

    The SFISF allows eligible securities, fund and insurance companies to use their assets, including bonds, ETFs and CSI 300 index stocks, as collateral in exchange for highly liquid assets such as government bonds and central bank bills.

    The PBOC has carried out two SFISF operations totaling 105 billion yuan, and more than 500 listed companies and major shareholders have reported using the refinancing mechanism to buy back shares or increase their holdings, according to PBOC Governor Pan Gongsheng. -0-

    SPbGASU student Zlata Zolotykh took part in the All-Russian event “Victory Waltz”. The event is held with the support of the Association of Student Patriotic Clubs “I am proud”. Paying tribute to the memory and respect of the heroes, students of St. Petersburg universities performed a waltz in military uniforms and dresses of that time. The event took place in several locations in St. Petersburg. Our participant joined it on April 29 in the Picture Hall of the Vitebsk Railway Station, where the event was held with the support of Russian Railways.

    “Victory Day is a very important date for me. Even at school, I actively participated in events dedicated to this memorable day, especially in dance performances. Two of my great-grandfathers were participants in the war. Stepan Dmitrievich Ivanov, a sergeant, was a driver of a motorized brigade of the Leningrad Front. Vasily Sergeevich Pivovarov, a home front worker. The memory of them is carefully preserved in our family and passed down from generation to generation,” Zlata said.

    Having learned that our university could participate in this event, Zlata agreed without hesitation. It was a great honor for a student to honor the memory of those who fought for their homeland in the Great Patriotic War through dance.

    The preparation took place at the Saint Petersburg University of Management Technologies and Economics for two weeks. Zlata’s partner was SPbUTUE student Georgy Moguchenok. During the preparation and at the performance itself, the dance couple was noted as one of the best.

    “I am not currently involved in dancing, but I have eight years of dance experience behind me, and I am very glad that I was able to immerse myself in this atmosphere again, especially on the occasion of such a great day,” said Zlata.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: There will be a softening – experts have given a forecast for the key rate for the summer of 2025

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Mainfin Bank –

    Why does the regulator keep the key rate at 21%?

    The tight monetary policy in Russia is due to high inflationary expectations, which, in turn, are provoked by a number of negative factors:

    rising prices for goods – food prices are rising faster; a shortage of personnel in the labor market, which leads to an increase in wages at an accelerated pace; an acceleration in lending – the industry has now been stabilized; geopolitical instability with a cooling of the global economy; indexation of housing and communal services tariffs by 12% in July of this year.

    Price growth in the Russian Federation is slowing down, but inflation remains high (above 7%). The population also maintains elevated inflation expectations – there is too much uncertainty in the national economy and on the international track.

    What will happen to monetary policy in the Russian Federation in the summer of 2025?

    The key rate has remained at 21% for more than six months, but in April the regulator revised the signals for the market – the Central Bank of the Russian Federation did not mention the possibility of increasing the indicator at future meetings, as was the case earlier. Let us recall that a new meeting on the key rate will be held on June 6, and on July 25 the Board of Directors of the Bank of Russia will not only revise the indicator, but also publish a medium-term forecast. Decisions will be made taking into account inflation risks, but experts allow for a gradual reduction in the key rate.

    “The monetary policy easing cycle will begin in 2025, but it is difficult to predict the exact timing – the rate revision could take place in June or July,” experts note.

    In general, analysts believe that the regulator will reduce the key rate by 100-200 bp in the summer, and by the end of the year the indicator may fall to 14% per annum. The signals from the Central Bank of the Russian Federation are neutral for now – the regulator does not clearly indicate the possible vector of actions: at the next meetings the rate may be reduced or maintained. However, pessimistic experts also allow for a new round of tightening if there are upheavals in the market and the economic situation significantly worsens.

    The SPbGASU summed up the results of the term paper competition, which took place within the framework of the International Creative Forum “Architectural Seasons”. This year, the Grand Prix went to the creative group consisting of: Ye Zijian, Zhao Yongkang, Wu Zongda and Tian Hongxu, under the direction of Chen and Lu Honggui (Zhengzhou University, China).

    A total of 800 works were submitted to the competition. Students from the first to fifth years of the bachelor’s degree and the first year of the master’s degree participated. The winners were determined in two stages by voting, in which more than two thousand people took part.

    200 people reached the final. 42 students were awarded the title of laureate in 14 nominations. We asked the laureates from SPbGASU to tell us about their works.

    Religious building

    Arina Tereshchenko, fourth-year student of the Faculty of Architecture, first-degree laureate in the nomination “Religious Building” (supervised by Associate Professor of the Department of Architectural and Urban Heritage Elena Baulina and Senior Lecturer of this department Galina Fedotova):

    – The project is a temple complex inspired by traditional Armenian church architecture. The project uses natural materials that are resistant to climatic conditions and time – stone, basalt, tuff, which emphasizes the connection with the historical context. In addition to the main temple, the complex includes a chapel, a church clergy house, an educational center, and a baptistery. All elements are combined into a harmonious composition with a single architectural style. The project seeks not only to recreate the architectural appearance of the Armenian church, but also to create a living spiritual space that is relevant to the modern parish and open to dialogue between cultures.

    Blocked residential building

    Anna Kasyanova, a third-year student of the Faculty of Architecture, first-degree laureate in the nomination “Blocked Residential Building” (supervised by Associate Professor of the Department of Architectural and Urban Heritage Natalia Dubrovina, assistants of the department Gleb Bagayev and Ksenia Kakunets):

    – My main task in this project is to create a clear, pleasant image of a residential building, without unnecessary details, which would organically fit into the natural environment. The image is the most difficult part of my project. I spent more than three months selecting analogs, coming up with and drawing different versions of the house, architectural details. Over time, my experience increased, and I managed to create the final image of the house.

    Individual residential building

    Veronika Merkul, a second-year student of the Faculty of Architecture, first-degree laureate in the Individual Residential Building nomination (supervisors: Professor of the Department of Architectural Design Oleg Romanov; Deputy Dean for Academic Affairs, Associate Professor of the Department of Architectural Design Elena Voitsehovskaya; Senior Lecturer of the Department of Architectural Design Varvara Khmeleva):

    – In my project, I decided to follow such an architectural trend as dacha constructivism. It seemed to me that it could fully reflect the features of the design location, without claiming historicism. It was important to preserve the culture of the area, avoiding obvious remake. My decisions were influenced by the features of the site, which is located at the end of the street, due to which the house is visible from three sides and should form a dominant feature. Such elements as round or narrow rectangular windows, non-standard volumes on the roof (a reference to the surrounding pine trees) and other decor, according to my idea, should make each facade unique (so that you want to look at it), and spacious terraces encircling the main volume will allow you to fully enjoy the views of the Gulf of Finland. Under the roof, away from the household part of the building, there is an art studio, illuminated by two dormer windows. It was important that the style of the building reflect the creative interests of the owner.

    Public interior

    Gasan Abasov, fifth-year student of the Faculty of Architecture, first-degree laureate in the nomination “Public Interior” (supervised by associate professors of the Department of Architectural Design Igor Ivanov and Maria Yakunenkova):

    – The interior of the engineering center is a multifunctional space, including an entrance group with a cloakroom, a coffee shop, an exhibition space, an auditorium and a block with toilets, technical rooms and a warehouse. The dominant role in the interior of the main building of the engineering center is played by a reinforced concrete cube, as if hovering in the center of the space. It houses another exhibition area. The cube is crossed by a strip of ceiling, connecting the central building with the rest of the complex. The main source of natural light is a large-span wooden structure with stained glass glazing. Sunlight, passing through it, creates an interesting light and shadow pattern, which, in contrast to the minimalist interior, sets a bright rhythm.

    Residential interior

    Ekaterina Sokolova, third-year undergraduate student at the Faculty of Architecture, first-degree laureate in the Residential Interior category (supervised by Associate Professor of the Department of Architectural Design Fyodor Perov, Associate Professor and Academic Secretary of the Department of Architectural Design Olga Kokorina):

    – The main goal of the residential interior design project is to create functional and comfortable housing that is not only beautiful and convenient, but also meets the needs and preferences of its inhabitants. To do this, I studied the regulatory requirements for the design of residential buildings, as well as the expected life scenarios of people, their possible needs. When creating the project, I also took into account the features of the premises and its location.

    Historical environment

    Yulia Kolmykova, first-year student of the Master’s program at the Faculty of Architecture, first-degree laureate in the Historical Environment nomination (supervised by Associate Professor of the Department of Architectural and Urban Heritage Evgeniya Shuvaeva and Senior Lecturer of the Department of Architectural and Urban Heritage Darya Bobrova):

    – The cultural heritage site of regional significance – the Zapolye estate is located in the Luzhsky district of the Leningrad region. Before starting the work, I studied archival and bibliographic materials, identified the current problems of the territory. The objectives of the project were to increase the tourist potential of the territory, restore historical functions, and draw attention to the importance of preserving old Russian estates.

    To solve the tasks set, it is proposed to adapt this territory for a children’s agronomic camp and restore the preserved historical buildings. It is also planned to restore the parterre garden and historical alleys according to archival drawings. It is supposed to locate housing for pupils and employees, as well as sports grounds and parking lots on the unguarded territory.

    Hand-drawn graphics

    Nadezhda Nikolaeva, a second-year undergraduate student at the Faculty of Architecture, first-degree laureate in the Hand-drawn Graphics category (supervised by senior lecturers from the Department of History and Theory of Architecture Igor Khramov and Leonid Krupnik):

    – The Rostov Kremlin is depicted here, but despite its dominant position, it is not the main character. The Kremlin here is not just architecture: it is, first of all, an environment that creates an atmosphere and determines the laws of existence. The key characters are people and cows. Cows are a symbol of timelessness, well-being and tranquility, and people are the personification of progress and the change of eras. The essence of life is revealed in their interaction. Thus, the picture raises the question of the dialogue between architecture and time: something is eternal, and something changes, adapting to new realities.

    Architectural photography

    Artem Titov, a second-year master’s student at the Faculty of Architecture at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, and a first-degree laureate in the Architectural Photography category, spoke about his series of works, Bosnian Patches:

    – Every year at the end of January, my friends and I go skiing. In search of ski resorts that we had not yet tried, we came across a little-known to Russian tourists complex in Bosnia and Herzegovina – the Jahorina ski resort, where the Winter Olympics were held in 1984. But going to another country with an interesting history just for skiing is pointless. So my friends and I put together a long route around the country, visiting several cities and architectural landmarks. Traditional wooden buildings, medieval stone structures and panel houses from the socialist period coexist here. I tried to capture all this diversity in my photos.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: “This is their Victory.” The “Glagol” Theatre staged a play about the generation of victors

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

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

    On May 3, the People’s University Theatre “Glagol” of SPbPU hosted the premiere of the musical and poetic composition “Shards of Silence”, dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.

    In the performance, staged by the artistic director of the theater by Konstantin Gershov based on poems about the war and memories of front-line soldiers, brought together actors of different generations – from experienced masters who graduated from the Polytechnic in the 80-90s of the last century, to first-year students. This musical and poetic performance became an immersion, a kind of bridge between the past and the present.

    “At the end of March, when the repertoire of “Glagol” was being put together until the end of the season, an idea was born to do something dedicated to the anniversary of our Victory,” says Konstantin Gershov. “I buried myself in poetry and documents. As a result, a script for a musical and poetic composition appeared, and during several rehearsals, the play “Shards of Silence” came into being, which intertwined poetry, music, songs, and the memories of front-line soldiers. Conventional theater intertwined with newsreels, familiar songs of the war years became visible. Parallel dramatic stories unfolded within them. The play was glued together from different genre “shards,” moods, conditions, and atmospheres. Those who had the opportunity and desire took part in the play. As a result, several generations of Glagolits and four first-year studio students came together in the common work, which makes me very happy as the theater’s artistic director. We dedicate the play “Shards of Silence” to our ancestors. This is their Victory. And our memory of this Victory.”

    Poems by Vladimir Agatov, Olga Berggolts, Vladimir Vysotsky, Semyon Gudzenko, Yulia Drunina, Mikhail Isakovsky, Boris Kovynev, Mikhail Kulchitsky, Boris Laskin, Vasily Lebedev-Kumach, Mark Maksimov, Alexey Markov, Alexander Mezhirov, Bulat Okudzhava, David Samoilov, Boris Slutsky, Konstantin Gershov, Sergey Slesarev, Alexander Tsirlinson and other poets were recited from the stage.

    The audience heard excerpts from letters and memoirs by Pavel Kogan, Alexey Panteleyev, Boris Polevoy, Vasily Subbotin, and Nikolay Chukovsky.

    The musical accompaniment included music by Nikita Bogoslovsky, Matvey Blanter, Dmitry Shostakovich, Vladimir Vysotsky, Frederic Chopin, Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Maria Bulat and other composers. The songs included “A Girl Sees Off a Soldier at the Position”, “Blue Handkerchief”, “The Morning Paints with Gentle Light”, “Three Tankers”, “Dark Night”, “Katyusha”, “It So Happened That the Men Left”, “How Disturbing the Memory is the September Evening”.

    Stasys Krasauskas’s engravings from the “Forever Alive” series, Sergei Larenkov’s photographs from the “Blockade Leningrad” series, and fragments from the film “Two Fighters” fit organically into the performance’s design.

    The production designer is Lyudmila Radchenko. Musical director is Maria Bulat. Sets by Dmitry Afinogenov and Lyudmila Radchenko, costumes and props by Lyudmila Radchenko. Assistant directors are Master’s student of IPMET Irina Smirnova (she is also a lighting designer) and ISI-2021 graduate Kirill Molev (he is also responsible for sound and video together with 3rd year IE student Mikhail Denisov).

    After the premiere, the actors shared their impressions of working in the play.

    Tatyana Mironova, 1995 GTF graduate, performer of the role of Woman: It can’t be called excitement, it’s something else, to the point of ringing in the ears, as if you’ve gone through a portal and feel everything differently. Thank you for the opportunity to be in such a project, to pronounce the names of grandfathers from the stage, for the memory, for the dedication, for this special energy!

    Darya Nonina, FEM-2001 graduate, performer of the roles of Woman and Mathematician: Those who went through the war, talked little about it. People avoided the topic. They were silent… Over time, they began to talk little by little. With fragmentary memories. Short. Sharp. The silence began to look like a panel of fragments. This composition, which we showed to the audience on May 3, is assembled from small and not so small details. Poems. Songs. Photos… I want to keep quiet after that Saturday. Although no… I want to say that the rehearsals went on as usual. Every now and then we would get a lump in our throats. But we managed. And then we got to the rehearsal of the finale. And I had to talk, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t say that my dad was a prisoner of a concentration camp. Because in the composition I also got a small role of a fascist mathematician, who had to dryly tell about the profit from each prisoner. On Friday evening it seemed that the composition was falling apart, crumbling, not fitting into a mosaic. And then Saturday came. What happened to us overnight? I don’t know… But all the participants suddenly connected with an invisible strong string, rallied, gathered, clenched into a fist. And the panel became voluminous, bright.

    Irina Gumarova, a 2016 graduate of the Polytechnic Institute of Humanities, performer of the roles of the Woman in Black and the Singer: It was a time of unity, open emotions. I have never seen the audience applaud so unanimously, with tears in their eyes. It was clear that this applause was intended for those whose lives fell on the terrible years of the war. It seemed that all our ancestors were standing next to us.

    Dmitry Fedorov, a first-year student at the Polytechnic Institute of Secondary Vocational Education, who plays the Soldier: Preparation for “Shards of Silence” was very interesting, educational and intensive. I learned a lot about the life of a Soviet soldier: how to wear a tunic, how to properly handle a carbine. I watched Soviet films about the war, about the horrors of those years. Many viewers cried that evening, which means that we were able to reach the hearts of the public.

    Igor Samoilov, student of the Institute of History and Culture, performer of the role of the Soldier: Work on this performance advanced my understanding of the Great Patriotic War, I began to treat this topic more seriously and responsibly, I began to understand more clearly what ordinary people with ordinary human souls actually went through in the forties, what a severe test our ancestors withstood. Now, I think I understand how it felt. The performance, composed by Konstantin Valentinovich, gives an opportunity to look into that time and experience it together with the characters of the production.

    Alina Buyanova, first-year student at the State Institute of Theatre Arts, performer of the role of the Girl: I am glad that my debut on the Glagol stage fell on such a performance. I never went backstage during a single rehearsal, I always stood behind the stage and watched. And every time – both during the rehearsals and during the performance – I was shivering from head to toe. Many episodes were chilling. In “Shards of Silence” I had the role of the Girl, a weightless and intangible image, a part of which lived in the soul of everyone during that harsh wartime, this is such a sincere and strong hope, a peaceful blue sky and tenderness. For me, this image is a contrast to the horrors of war.

    Pavel Sobolev, third-year student at the Institute of Theatre Arts, performer of the role of the Soldier: I could not even imagine that I, being a studio member, would take part in the premiere. The feelings before going on stage are frighteningly opposite: scary and incredibly interesting. There is a feeling: “The performance cannot be stopped! I will have to play, and there is nowhere to go!” And at the same moment comes a burning desire to go out and start playing my role. After the performance, feelings of joy and euphoria did not leave me, despite such a morally difficult production on an important topic. My heart was filled with a feeling of gratitude to the generation of people whose lives were affected by the war. It is important that we do not forget our heroes. It is nice that my family was present in the audience, who were touched by what was happening on stage.

    Tatyana Amirova, 3rd year student of the Institute of History and Culture, performer of the role of the Girl: My grandparents, great-grandparents were participants of the Great Patriotic War, I have heard stories about them since childhood. The war scared me (and still scares me), but the feat they accomplished delighted and amazed me to the depths of my soul. I could not imagine how they managed to survive this and preserve the human being in themselves. Thank you all for this performance. I am glad that I am part of such important work.

    From audience reviews

    Svetlana Viktorovna Tkacheva, foreign language methodologist at the State Budgetary Institution IMC of the Kalininsky District: The performance grabbed the hearts of the audience with a strong hand at the very beginning and did not let go until the end, and even the victorious march that sounded at the end did not make this grip easier. Because the fragments of war keep flying and flying, piercing our hearts and minds. The performance ended in an unusual and touching way – each performer, addressing the audience, named their grandfather, uncle, relative, who fought for Victory. I am sure that at that moment, each spectator mentally remembered their war hero…

    On May 10 and 17, to mark the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, the People’s University Theatre “Glagol” of the Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University will present the play “Thirteen Women of Sergeant Major Vaskov Between the Premonition of Great Love and the Expectation of Sudden Death.” The play is based on the story by Boris Vasiliev “The Dawns Here Are Quiet…”.

    For the eightieth anniversary of the Great Victory, the staff and faculty of SPbGASU prepared a documentary film dedicated to the heroes of LISI (Leningrad Civil Engineering Institute, as the university was then called) – students and teachers who worked during the siege of Leningrad for the good of the Motherland, went to the front, built defensive lines, strengthened buildings, helped in hospitals and continued to study during the siege of Leningrad.

    The creators of the film sought not only to preserve the memory of those who showed courage and fortitude in those years, but also to show the new generation what it means to be a true patriot and citizen of your country. Speaking about the importance of the memory of heroes, we not only pay tribute to those who defended the Motherland with weapons in their hands, but also remind ourselves that the human spirit is capable of the greatest achievements even in the most difficult times.

    It is important that young people know about the merits of their ancestors and understand how much the peaceful skies above their heads cost the defenders of the Fatherland.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Dmitry Chernyshenko: The architecture of the business program of the V International Tourism Forum “Travel!” has been published

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Government of the Russian Federation – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    The architecture of the fifth, anniversary International Tourism Forum “Travel!” has been published. It will be held from June 10 to 15 in Moscow at VDNKh. The three-day business program is aimed at leading experts, representatives of government bodies, international delegations and business communities seeking to exchange experience and create new opportunities for the development of the industry. The organizer of the International Tourism Forum “Travel!” is the Roscongress Foundation together with the Ministry of Economic Development with the support of the Government.

    “The Travel! Forum is a unique opportunity for citizens and guests of our country to discover the beauty and tourism potential of Russia, and get acquainted with new routes and destinations. The event will help bring together industry leaders who are ready to find innovative solutions and build long-term partnerships. As part of the business program, they will discuss the effectiveness of government support measures, the development of tourism infrastructure and the implementation of the large-scale Five Seas and Lake Baikal project of the Tourism and Hospitality national project. In order to achieve the goals set by President Vladimir Putin, special attention will be paid to the personnel issue. At the forum, representatives of business and educational institutions will discuss current educational programs for the tourism industry,” emphasized Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Travel! International Tourism Forum Dmitry Chernyshenko.

    One of the key focuses of the forum is international tourism. Discussions will touch upon the most important issues related to the restoration and expansion of global tourist flows. The focus of the discussions will be on current trends, innovative technologies and strategies aimed at attracting foreign tourists, as well as the issue of strengthening the positions of Russian tourist destinations on the world stage.

    No less important will be the topics of investment in the tourism industry: attracting financing for infrastructure, creating new tourist facilities and modernizing existing ones. The forum will provide a unique platform for establishing contacts between investors, businessmen and authorities interested in supporting the development of tourism in Russia.

    “The business program, based on three pillars, namely international cooperation, investment and HR strategy, will become the point of intersection of ideas and innovations, creating space for real changes in the industry. “Travel!” has set itself an ambitious goal – not only to return and expand tourist flows, but also to turn around approaches to investment, infrastructure and professional training,” commented Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President of Russia, Executive Secretary of the Organizing Committee of the International Tourism Forum “Travel!”

    A significant part of the business program tracks of the International Tourism Forum “Travel!” in 2025 will be devoted to professional education and training of qualified specialists for the hotel and tourism business. The forum partners will discuss key issues of personnel policy, as well as exchange best practices in creating educational programs for training in-demand specialists.

    “Today, the Russian hospitality industry is changing rapidly. And the task of government bodies at all levels is to support these changes by responding to industry demands. Therefore, the Ministry of Economic Development has focused its work on the following areas that support the transformation of tourism. A new hotel classification system is being formed, instructors-guides, tour guides and guides have begun to work according to the new rules. Tools have been created to attract large investors, and dozens of large projects are already being implemented that will ensure the reception of guests in the medium term and significantly increase the market capacity. There are many issues that we need to resolve together with businesses, regions and the expert community. Among such issues are the training of qualified personnel, infrastructure development, areas of digitalization of the industry, and the creation of products for the international market. And the main platform for this dialogue is the fields of the “Travel!” forum. We have included all the current issues on the agenda in the program and will discuss them at the sessions of the business program,” said Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Meeting on the development of airfield and airport infrastructure

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Government of the Russian Federation – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    The airfield is equipped with one of the best runways in Russia, which was put into operation in July 2011.

    The airport complex consists of two passenger terminals: for domestic and international flights, and separate terminals for domestic and international flights.

    Passenger traffic in 2024 amounted to more than 5 million passengers. The airport is developing dynamically, paying great attention to the modernization of the airport infrastructure. The capacity of the airport of JSC Mineralnye Vody International Airport today is 240 flights per day, on domestic flights – 1,650 people per hour, on international flights – 240 people per hour.

    The geography of flights from Mineralnye Vody includes about 70 destinations, of which more than 20 are foreign.

    The construction, reconstruction and technical re-equipment of the Mineralnye Vody International Airport have been ongoing since 2019. The deadlines are 2019–2028, and the work is carried out in three stages (Stage I – 2019, Stage II – 2023–2025, Stage III – 2026–2028).

    In 2019, the Mineralnye Vody International Airport underwent reconstruction of the airport complex, including the expansion of the arrival pavilions for domestic and international airlines with a built-in pavilion for those meeting them, including the technical re-equipment of the air checkpoint across the state border of Russia.

    As part of the reconstruction, two two-story buildings of the arrival pavilions for domestic and international airlines were combined; their total area was 8,577.7 sq. m. Two elevators for passengers with limited mobility, high-tech baggage systems, and two additional border passport control booths were installed.

    During the second stage in 2023–2025, a new domestic terminal with an area of 28,506 sq. m. will be built. The new terminal will increase the capacity to 3,120 passengers per hour (currently 1,050 passengers per hour), and the total annual volume will be over 5.2 million passengers (international and domestic airlines). The terminal will be equipped with modern high-tech passenger and baggage handling systems, including 28 check-in counters, 6 passport control points, 11 boarding gates, including 5 air bridges. It is planned to expand the station square with a parking lot, the first access line to the terminal and landscaping.

    At the moment, work on the installation of the roof, facade, engineering systems, and external engineering networks is in the final stages.

    Work is being carried out on finishing the premises, installing engineering and technological equipment, and improving the adjacent territory.

    Earthworks, work on the installation of reinforced concrete and metal structures, vertical transport, and external engineering infrastructure structures have been fully completed.

    Mikhail Mishustin held a meeting on the development of airfield and airport infrastructure

    From the transcript:

    M. Mishustin: Good afternoon, dear colleagues!

    The President set the task of modernizing the infrastructure of at least 75 airports across Russia by 2030. Today, as we open this terminal, we will discuss in detail how this task is being accomplished.

    Well-equipped, convenient air harbors are necessary to strengthen the connectivity of the territories of our large country, increase the availability of flights for citizens and, of course, develop the economy of the subjects of the Federation. Last year, the reconstruction of runways in Kemerovo and Tomsk was completed, seven airport complexes were opened, and since the beginning of this year, three new terminals have been put into operation in Novokuznetsk, Tyumen, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.

    The government pays special attention to such issues. During previous working trips, I personally saw how the construction of the airport in Magadan was proceeding, and I familiarized myself with the plans in Khabarovsk, Novosibirsk, and Gorno-Altaisk.

    We have just inspected the new terminal of the international airport here in Mineralnye Vody. It will soon begin to welcome guests and will provide a modern level of comfort for both residents and guests of the region, which is very important given that in recent years the passenger flow of this air harbor has almost tripled. After all, domestic tourism is growing, people are increasingly choosing the North Caucasus for vacation. Both Mineralnye Vody and nearby cities such as Pyatigorsk, Yessentuki, Kislovodsk have historically been very popular destinations. And we need to make trips to such centers of attraction more convenient for tourists.

    Work is also continuing in other Russian regions, primarily within the framework of the new national project “Efficient Transport System”. It includes a separate federal project – “Development of the Support Network of Airfields”…
