    Alexander Novak chaired a meeting of the Group of Eight OPEC countries

    Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, as co-chairman, chaired a meeting of the Group of 8 participating countries that adopted additional voluntary adjustments to oil production in April and November 2023.

    The Group of 8 includes Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, UAE, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria and Oman.

    The parties discussed the state and prospects of the global oil market and agreed to adjust production by 411,000 barrels per day in May 2025, which corresponds to three monthly increases. The gradual increase can be suspended or cancelled depending on changing market conditions. Such flexibility will allow the group to continue to maintain stability in the oil market. The eight OPEC countries also noted that this measure will allow participating countries to speed up compensation payments.

    The eight countries reaffirmed their commitment to the voluntary oil production adjustments agreed at the 53rd meeting of the OPEC Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee on 3 April 2024, as well as their intention to fully offset any overproduction from January 2024 and to submit updated offset plans to the OPEC Secretariat by 15 April 2025.

    The eight OPEC countries have agreed to meet monthly to review market conditions, compliance and compensation. The next meeting will be held on May 5 to decide on the level of oil production by the members in June 2025.

    The meeting of the eight countries took place ahead of the 59th meeting of the Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee of OPEC countries, which is scheduled for April 5 via videoconference.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Dmitry Grigorenko: 28 Russian regions have started using the “governor’s dashboard”

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

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

    April 3, 2025

    Dmitry Grigorenko held a meeting of the State Council commission on “Communications, communications, digital economy”

    28 Russian regions have completed testing of the digital management panel, the so-called governor’s dashboard. With the help of this system, the Government provides the subjects of the Russian Federation with information on key areas of activity of each region. This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister – Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko during a meeting of the State Council Commission on Communications, Telecommunications, and Digital Economy.

    The Governor’s dashboard presents current indicators on key areas of the region’s work and its interaction with the federal center:

    ● work with federal orders and legislative initiatives;

    ● execution of federal and regional budgets;

    ● implementation of national projects;

    ● information on the implementation of construction plans in the region (schools, hospitals, kindergartens, etc.);

    ● federal ratings, etc.

    “The implementation of the system allows us to significantly increase the speed and quality of management decisions. Thus, the “governor’s dashboard” presents up-to-date data on key areas of the region’s work and its interaction with the federal center. They are the same for both governors and federal authorities. Our common goal is to improve the quality of life of citizens. A unified approach to information analysis, common metrics throughout the country allow us to build effective interaction at all levels, minimize errors due to unreliability or inaccuracy of data,” noted Dmitry Grigorenko.

    The Governor’s Dashboard is part of the digital public administration system, which is used at the federal level. One of the key results of connecting pilot subjects of the Russian Federation to the digital analytical panel is the elimination of discrepancies between regional and federal data sources. Integration with the electronic document management system of the Government Office has also been completed. This gave regions prompt, direct access to federal instructions, the status of appeals to the Government, and regulatory activities. As a result, all data that was previously distributed across various electronic systems began to be displayed in a single window with the ability to track indicators in real time.

    The pilot project for the implementation of digital panels in regional management includes the Nizhny Novgorod Region, the Republic of Buryatia, the Komi Republic, the Republic of Mordovia, the Udmurt Republic, Khabarovsk Krai, Amur Region, Arkhangelsk Region, Volgograd Region, Irkutsk Region, Kaliningrad Region, Kaluga Region, Kamchatka Krai, Kurgan Region, Kursk Region, Magadan Region, Orenburg Region, Ryazan Region, Samara Region, Saratov Region, Sakhalin Region, Tomsk Region, Tyumen Region, Zabaykalsky Krai, Yaroslavl Region, St. Petersburg, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. It is planned that the remaining regions will implement dashboards in their management by the end of the year.

    The dashboard prototype was developed on the basis of the state analytical automated system “Management”, which is used to monitor the activities of the Government, the implementation of national projects, state programs and the achievement of national development goals of the country. At the same time, each governor can set up a system for monitoring specific projects or tasks, the implementation of which is most urgently needed by the region.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Marat Khusnullin: Developers – participants of the SEZ are entering the active phase of housing construction

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

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

    In Donetsk and Lugansk, an active phase of building houses has begun at a number of construction sites for new residential complexes. One of the necessary stages in this life cycle of projects is the installation of tower cranes, reported Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

    “Construction has a multiplier effect: building materials are purchased, jobs are created, tax deductions are generated for the budget, and the infrastructure of populated areas is updated. Therefore, in order to grow the economy of new regions and update the housing stock there, the task is to “shake up” investment construction. Today, a number of developers in the reunited regions have entered the active phase of constructing facilities. For example, a 50-meter tower crane has already been installed on the territory of the future large-scale residential area on Lineva Street in Lugansk for the construction of a 9-story building with 80 apartments, and a crane has been brought to the construction site of the first new residential complex in Donetsk in ten years and is being prepared for assembly,” said Marat Khusnullin.

    Both developers are participants in the free economic zone, which is managed by the Development Fund of Territories.

    “Currently, a new microdistrict is being built in Lugansk on a land plot of 31.9 hectares. The living area of the houses will be 368.8 thousand square meters. It is planned that already in 2026, more than 6 thousand families will be able to improve their living conditions. And in Donetsk, a 22-storey building with 105 apartments is being built. The residential complex will have its own parking lot, as well as sports and children’s playgrounds, recreation areas. All necessary construction materials – concrete, reinforcement, crushed stone and cement – are purchased, including from local manufacturers, which supports the development of local enterprises,” added FRT General Director Ilshat Shagiakhmetov.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Marat Khusnullin: By 2030, it is planned to build more than 100 bridges with a total length of over 40 km on the federal road network

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    April 3, 2025

    Bridge across the Volga on the M-12 Vostok highway, Republic of Tatarstan.

    On April 3, 1760, a decree was issued on the construction of the first bridges in St. Petersburg, and now they are one of the main attractions of the Northern capital. Many bridges in Russia are outstanding monuments of architecture, engineering art, and also an example of the use of the latest technology.

    “The construction of bridges and artificial structures in the regions of Russia is of colossal importance for millions of people. They connect dispersed territories and significantly reduce travel time. This is especially important for regions with seasonal features, when some roads become impassable due to weather conditions. But thanks to artificial structures, people can be sure that they will be able to get to the right place at any time of the year. Bridge construction in the country is noticeably gaining momentum, becoming a platform for the use of innovative technologies that increase the service life of some of the most complex elements of road construction. In recent years alone, the country’s road and transport framework has been replenished with such outstanding structures as the cable-stayed bridge across the Oka on the M-12 “Vostok” highway with a unique architectural appearance and a system developed and certified in Russia, the Vysokogorsky Bridge across the Yenisei in Krasnoyarsk Krai, the bridge across the Svir River in Leningrad Oblast, the railway bridge across the Areda River on the Trans-Siberian Railway, the Crimean Bridge, the bridge across the Ob in Surgut, the bridge across the Volga on the bypass of Tver, the Arkhangelsky Bridge across the Sheksna. By 2030, it is planned to build more than 100 bridges with a total length of more than 40 km on the federal network alone,” said Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

    The Deputy Prime Minister added that promising artificial structures include a 12-kilometer bridge across the Volga on the southern bypass of Saratov, which will be the second longest after the Krymsky. Also, as part of the extension of the M-12 “Vostok” highway, bridges across the Belaya River in the Republic of Bashkortostan with a length of 813 m and a unique bridge across the Bolshaya Sarana River in the Sverdlovsk Region with supports over 50 m high will open this year.

    There are over 250 artificial structures under construction or reconstruction on the federal road network under the jurisdiction of Rosavtodor. For example, the longest overpass in the Southern Urals and the Urals is being built across the Sim River in the Chelyabinsk Region. The complex natural landscape requires road workers to put in the utmost effort and come up with unique engineering solutions. The artificial steel-reinforced concrete structure, over 1 km long and over 40 m high, is being erected as part of a large-scale reconstruction of the M-5 Ural highway and the construction of a bypass around the city of Sim. In total, four bridges, two interchanges and five overpasses are planned to be built here.

    Among the regional projects under construction are bridges across the Ob in Surgut and Novosibirsk, a bridge across the Lena in Yakutsk, which is being built in permafrost conditions, as well as a new bridge across the Volga in Yaroslavl and across the Oka in Ryazan.

    The state-owned company Avtodor is currently constructing 162 artificial structures, including 38 bridges as part of the reconstruction projects of the M-1 Belarus and M-3 Ukraine highways, the new Dyurtyuli-Achit highway, which will be part of the M-12 Vostok highway, and the Adler bypass.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: PISh SPbPU presented a new project at the educational forum — school design bureaus

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

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

    Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University presented the best practices, projects and initiatives for training highly qualified specialists needed by the modern economy at the XV St. Petersburg International Educational Forum. The Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU “Digital Engineering” (PES), as a flagship division of the SPbPU Technological Development Ecosystem, launched innovative projects at the forum with an emphasis on advanced digital and production technologies and held thematic events for teachers aimed at developing engineering education in cooperation with representatives of the domestic industry, and also became an active participant in discussion platforms.

    On the first day of the forum, a scientific and practical seminar “Formation of the inventive culture of students: from idea to implementation” was held at school No. 219 in the Krasnoselsky district of St. Petersburg on the topic of “Personnel for the economy and technological sovereignty”. Senior lecturer of the Higher School of Advanced Digital Technologies, junior research fellow of the 3D-education laboratory of the SPbPU PIS “Digital Engineering” Andrey Shimchenko spoke at the opening and took part in the discussion of key issues in the development of the intellectual and creative potential of schoolchildren.

    On March 27, the forum hosted a presentation of the school design bureau project and the signing of agreements with schools and partners. The project is based on the idea of creating a network of school design bureaus at specially selected educational sites, working together and coordinated by the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU “Digital Engineering”. The project is being implemented in partnership with the Academy of Digital Technologies and with the support of the Government of St. Petersburg. The corporate style of the network of school design bureaus was developed by the winner of the federal competition “Design of the Young – 2024” in the “Bureau” nomination, student of the Sverdlovsk Art School named after I.D. Shadr Matvey Nechkov.

    The events took place during the strategic session “Creating a Single Space for Modern Digital Education in St. Petersburg”, the program of which included a plenary session, a discussion platform of the session “Development of Engineering Competencies of Students in School Design Bureaus” and a session “Quantum Collaboration: Development through Partnership”. The venue was the IT company “Sber IT-hub”. The organizers of the strategic session were the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU “Digital Engineering” and the Academy of Digital Technologies.

    Today we will discuss two important issues related to the development of engineering competencies in school design bureaus and children’s technology parks. These topics are very important for the development of a modern educational environment. It is necessary for each educational institution to respond to the demand that the real labor market puts before us. I would like to thank all our partners, including manufacturing companies, universities and schools, for being ready, in the conditions of such positive collaboration, to create and build a truly future that will allow our children to become highly competitive specialists, – Valeria Zotova, Director of the Academy of Digital Technologies, welcomed the participants of the strategic session.

    SPbPU’s advanced engineering school “Digital Engineering” systematically develops career guidance and educational projects for schoolchildren and college students. These projects are based on the use of advanced digital and production technologies for teaching natural science subjects. They also include the development small-sized wheeled autonomous robot (MKAR) and its application in schools and educational centers of St. Petersburg for teaching robotics and related disciplines. In February 2025, on the basis of the project partner, the Academy of Digital Technologies, the School programming competitions MKAR, and 15 St. Petersburg schools received models of the robot.

    The development of these educational initiatives in cooperation between schools, colleges, universities, educational centers and industrial partners is supported by the government of St. Petersburg. For example, in September 2024, Governor Alexander Beglov highly praised the concept youth design bureaus, presented by the SPbPU PISh “Digital Engineering” at the opening of the first educational site at the College of Industrial Automation.

    School design bureaus are club-type platforms where children, under the guidance of experienced instructors, can learn engineering and solve real technical problems from industrial partners. The goal of the project is not only to give schoolchildren the opportunity to try themselves as engineers, but also to organize effective career guidance for students in grades 7–10. Participants in school design bureaus will be able to visit high-tech enterprises, listen to lectures by leading industry experts, and undergo internships at partners’ production sites.

    Industrial partners of the school design bureaus developed practice-oriented tasks for them and provided them with licensed software. The main partners of the project include: AEM-Technologies (part of the mechanical engineering division of the Rosatom State Corporation), Gazprom Neft, the Physical Rehabilitation organization, Ascon-Design Systems, and the Kronstadt Engineering Center. As the project develops, the number of partners will increase.

    The school design bureau project became one of the key topics of the plenary session of the strategic session “Creating a single space for modern digital education in St. Petersburg”.

    St. Petersburg has always been a leader in the field of education, and today’s forum is another step forward in providing high-quality and modern education for our children. Exchange of experience and discussion of current issues will help to determine the main areas of development and achieve the set goals, – Svetlana Bobrovskaya, Deputy Head of the General Education Department of the St. Petersburg Education Committee, opened the plenary session.

    Director of the Center for Continuing Professional Education of the SPbPU PISh Sergey Salkutsan spoke about the school design bureaus and answered questions from the audience about the project and tools of system digital engineering.

    “It is important to teach schoolchildren and students to understand the fundamental physical and chemical processes underlying the objects being modeled,” says Sergey Vladimirovich. “Mathematics and physics are critically important for understanding the structure of the world. Only by mastering these two disciplines will future engineers be able to effectively use software for modeling and design. It is also necessary to teach children not only to carry out technical assignments, but also to understand production technologies and the path of the product to the end consumer.”

    Sergei Salkutsan emphasized that school design bureaus are part of a continuous chain that continues in colleges and universities.

    Director of the Academy of Digital Technologies Valeria Zotova also noted the positive impact of the school design bureau project on the development of engineering education in the country: This will open up new opportunities for the development of technical creativity and engineering competencies in our students. Of particular importance is that each of you will have the opportunity to develop your own roadmap for opening school design bureaus in your educational institution. This is not just a theory – this is a real action plan that we will implement together.

    Then the official presentation of the school design bureau project took place and agreements on their opening were signed with 13 educational institutions of St. Petersburg. The signing was preceded by training of teachers of educational institutions, which took place at SPbPU. The teachers received certificates of advanced training during the ceremony.

    School design bureaus will be opened in the following educational institutions of St. Petersburg:

    Academy of Digital Technologies; Academy of Talents; Center for Children’s (Youthful) Technical Creativity “Start” of Nevsky District; Engineering and Technological School No. 777; School No. 707 of Nevsky District; School No. 422 of Kronstadt District; School No. 582 with in-depth study of English and Finnish languages of Primorsky District; Gymnasium No. 49 of Primorsky District; School No. 518 of Vyborg District; School No. 617 of Primorsky District; School No. 219 of Krasnoselsky District; School No. 500 of Pushkinsky District; School No. 258 with in-depth study of physics and chemistry of Kolpino District.

    Cooperation agreements were signed by the project partners: Ascon-Design Systems, Physical Rehabilitation, and AEM-Technologies.

    After signing, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of ASCON, Alexander Golikov, noted: The main motivation that guides us as a developer is that we want to live in a country that creates, not a consumer. In a country with a powerful industry, with its own aircraft, electronics, software. To achieve this, it is necessary to develop a culture of invention and engineering creativity at all stages of education, since all advanced developments are created by qualified specialists. School design bureaus are a point of attraction for future engineers, and we, ASCON, provide the necessary software tools for the implementation of engineering ideas.

    To implement the project, school design bureaus “Ascon-Design Systems” transferred licenses for full access to the software to schools.

    Training in school design bureaus will be launched in cycles, but the first launch is different from the others. Basic training began on March 27. Work on the first project, “Development of a housing for an electronic rehabilitation device for children,” commissioned by the Physical Rehabilitation organization, will begin on April 21. In May, the finished assembly will be submitted for testing and production, a championship of the school design bureau network will be held, and the first project will end with a presentation of the manufactured products and their transfer to the customer. Schoolchildren who successfully complete the training will receive certificates from Ascon-Design Systems confirming their skills. In the future, these certificates will be taken into account when entering Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. The second task for schoolchildren by the fall of 2025 will be set by the partner of AEM-Technology.

    The development of school design bureaus was also one of the topics of the plenary part of the conference “Ecosystem of a specialized school: change management for technological sovereignty”, which was held at the project participant – school No. 258 with in-depth study of physics and chemistry in the Kolpino district of St. Petersburg. Engineer of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU “Digital Engineering” Tamara Korobova spoke about the launch of school design bureaus, highlighted the goals and objectives of the project, answered questions from teachers and took part in the discussion of current issues of specialized education for schoolchildren and the development of models of network interaction between educational organizations and industry partners.

    At the strategic session, students were able to immerse themselves in the tasks of future school design bureaus and try their hand at 3D modeling and printing.

    The leading engineering school of SPbPU “Digital Engineering” is developing three areas of development of design bureaus. Over the next year, we plan to methodically organize the activities of school bureaus, set up work with industrial partners and receive feedback from participants. Then, on the basis of the Polytechnic University, together with the Talent Academy, a bureau will be created that will be available to students of schools where there is no design bureau yet. The third area includes youth design bureaus based on secondary vocational education institutions, developed together with the College of Industrial Automation. Their activities are focused on in-depth study of the technological level of development and production of products.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Differences in alphabets make it difficult for bilinguals to switch quickly between languages

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

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

    Scientists Center of Language and Brain HSE used eye tracking to study how bilinguals switch from one language to another when the context changes. It turned out that the difference in alphabets slows down this process. If the letters look unusual – for example, Latin in a Russian-language text – the brain does not immediately switch to another language, even if the person knows that he is in a bilingual situation. Article published in the journal “Bilingualism: Language and Cognition”.

    Bilinguals can be divided into target and non-target languages depending on the language situation they find themselves in. If a person who knows Russian and English is in an environment where everyone communicates with him in Russian, then his English is suppressed. In this situation, Russian will be his target language, and English will be non-target.

    The scientists decided to study how switching between target and non-target languages occurs when the language context changes, and to test the proactive control hypothesis in bilinguals. This hypothesis suggests that with increasing exposure to a non-target language, bilinguals activate its vocabulary so that they can start using it faster. Importantly, control is carried out in advance, and not in response to information already received. This avoids delays in processing.

    To test the hypothesis, the scientists conducted an experiment involving 50 adult Russian-English bilinguals. They were asked to read several sentences on different topics on a computer screen and answer questions. Initially, the target language for the participants was Russian, but the researchers created conditions so that the environment gradually became more English-speaking. At first, they were only spoken to in Russian and all tasks were in Russian. At the second stage, in addition to Russian, sentences in English appeared. At the third stage, English sentences were removed, but an English-speaking instructor came. At the last stage, English sentences also appeared, and the leader communicated only in English.

    While performing the tasks, the participants’ eye movements were tracked, recording such indicators as the duration of fixation on a word, the number of returns to previous words (regressions), and word omissions. It is known that the longer the fixation, the more difficult it is to process the word, and regressions indicate the need to look at the word again to understand the meaning.

    “To test access to the non-target language, we used the ‘invisible boundary’ method. When a person read a sentence in Russian, the English translation of that word appeared briefly before the target words,” the study’s authors say.

    For example, in the sentence “You will need to undergo certain training to obtain a permit,” the Russian word “obuchenie” was preceded by the English word “training.”

    The scientists assumed that if access to English was activated, then the fixation time on a Russian word after its English translation appeared should have decreased. However, this hypothesis was not confirmed. Despite the gradual addition of English elements in the experiment, changes in the language context did not affect early access to vocabulary.

    “It is likely that the different alphabets – Cyrillic and Latin – are too different, so the brain immediately “sees” that it is a different alphabet and automatically suppresses it. In addition, it is possible that the immersion in the non-target language was not long enough, so it did not have time to activate,” the researchers explain.

    Thus, the results of the study confirmed the key assumptions of the Multilink and BIA models that vocabulary processing in a bilingual environment is regulated by both bottom-up and top-down factors, but the former dominates in the context of different alphabetic systems.

    The lower level is automatic information processing. So, the brain first recognizes letters, then words, and then their meanings. In the case of different alphabets (for example, Cyrillic and Latin), the brain may have difficulty recognizing the letters of another alphabet. These differences greatly affect how quickly and effectively a person can switch between languages.

    The top level is conscious processing of information, which depends on context and experience. For example, if a person knows that he or she is in a bilingual environment, this may activate the brain’s “expectation” of encountering a word in the second language. However, this process requires more time and resources.

    The researchers plan to conduct experiments with deeper immersion in the non-target language. “We believe that at a certain point we will record an increase in the speed of switching from language to language,” the authors suggest.

    The findings of this and future studies may be useful for developing foreign language learning strategies, especially reading skills, taking into account the cognitive load associated with native language suppression, alphabet differences, and duration of language immersion.

    An extended meeting of the heads of the participants of the Association of Educational Organizations “Consortium for the Development of School Engineering and Technology Education” was held in the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation on the topic “Development of Talents. Effective Management Practices for Creating Conditions for Self-Realization of Children and Young People in the Engineering and Technology Sphere.”

    The Consortium for the Development of School Engineering and Technology Education is an association of leading educational organizations of various levels: schools, universities, enterprises of high-tech industries, centers for additional education of children, colleges of Russia and Belarus. Polytechnic University has been a member of the consortium since 2023.

    The moderators of the meeting were the Chairperson of the Commission of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation on Education and Upbringing Natalia Kravchenko and the Director of the Engineering and Technology School No. 777 of St. Petersburg of the Russian Federation Vera Knyazeva. Natalia Vasilyevna noted the importance of engineering education in technical universities and engineering schools for the development of the country’s economy and industry, as well as for the implementation of the tasks set by the President of the country.

    The main topic of the meeting was important proposals aimed at training personnel in technical and engineering professions, systematizing career guidance and strengthening cooperation between schools, universities and companies. The speakers emphasized the importance of developing engineering classes, early career guidance programs and introducing new educational approaches to training future specialists.

    First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Economic Policy Denis Kravchenko noted in his speech: The unified plan for achieving national development goals for Russia until 2030 and for the long term until 2036 states the need to develop engineering education in Russia, create conditions for strengthening technological sovereignty and developing technological leadership. In this regard, it is extremely necessary to create a personnel reserve of engineering and technical specialties for the development of industry and the country’s economy.

    At the meeting, the Polytechnic University was represented by the Vice-Rector for Continuing and Pre-University Education of SPbPU, Dmitry Tikhonov.

    Dmitry Vladimirovich gave a presentation on the diversity of engineering Olympiads and the specifics of the Polytechnic Olympiad held by the university. In his report, he emphasized the importance of engineering sciences, which served as an incentive to change the format of the Olympiad.

    The main concept of the new Polytechnic Olympiad is to test not so much the theoretical knowledge of the participants, but their ability to find and apply the necessary information. This meets modern requirements for engineers, who need to be able to quickly navigate a large volume of data and use it effectively. The tasks were designed in such a way as to exclude the possibility of simple cheating, focusing on a creative approach and practical skills.

    Participants went through various tests that simulated real-life situations that engineers encounter in their work. For example, they had to study the properties of modern alloys and composite materials, analyze complex electrical circuits and propose optimal solutions, and develop robotics projects by calculating the trajectory of the mechanisms.

    Dmitry Vladimirovich separately noted the importance of referring to additional literature, emphasizing that a successful engineer is not someone who remembers all the standards and norms, but someone who knows how to search, process and correctly interpret information.

    The Vice-Rector emphasized that the new concept of the Polytechnic Olympiad promotes the development of engineering thinking and the quality of technical education among schoolchildren. Thanks to its innovative format, it helps students master practical skills in searching and analyzing information, which are necessary for a successful career in the field of engineering sciences.

    Discussion of issues of development of engineering education at the highest level is of key importance for the formation of a competitive economy and provision of a sustainable personnel reserve. Educational organizations of different levels participate in the consortium, this allows us to create effective mechanisms for training highly qualified personnel capable of making a significant contribution to achieving technological leadership of Russia. Engineering classes are one of the best practices of such interaction. Applicants who have completed this system become more successful as students and are more quickly involved in technological projects, – noted Dmitry Vladimirovich.

The competition in the bachelor’s degree category was held at the site of the Russian power engineering company JSC Power Machines. Participants in the final round solved interesting practical cases developed by experts from enterprises. The names of the winners of the VIII season of the All-Russian Student Olympiad “I am a Professional” will be announced in June. The Olympiad is being implemented within the framework of the federal project “Russia – Country of Opportunities” of the national project “Youth and Children” with the support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia.

    The final round was attended by 19 people from 10 universities of the country: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, TPU, Bauman Moscow State Technical University, NSTU, MAI, MEPhI, Ulyanov Chuvash State University, RUDN, MISiS and Empress Catherine II St. Petersburg Mining University. Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University has been supervising the Mechanical Engineering program for several seasons in a row. In total, the Olympiad covers 71 subject areas. To reach the final, students passed the qualifying round and then participated in the semi-finals.

    Before the competition, the companies’ employees gave the participants a tour, during which they introduced them to the main areas of their activities. Then the students received assignments for the final stage. The Olympiad participants solved practical cases compiled by the company’s engineers. Severstal representatives from the Repair Directorate and the Talent Development Department also acted as experts. PAO Severstal is a partner of the I Am a Professional student Olympiad.

    Participation in the Olympiad is a great opportunity to test your knowledge and skills, make new acquaintances, and decide on a career development direction. In the eighth season, we not only involved our partners in compiling practice-oriented tasks, but also “asked to visit” so that the participants of the competition could test themselves on a real production site, that is, feel like engineering special forces in action. St. Petersburg Polytechnic University traditionally organizes several areas in the Olympiad “I am a professional”. Let me remind you that the winners of the Olympiad receive additional points when entering a master’s and postgraduate program, – noted Vitaly Drobchik, Advisor to the Rector’s Office of SPbPU and organizer of the Olympiad at the Polytechnic University.

    The All-Russian Student Olympiad “I am a Professional” is a large-scale platform for testing the knowledge and applied skills of students from Russian universities, as well as a unique system of career support. The Olympiad has been held since 2017 and covers 71 subject areas: from aircraft engineering to artificial intelligence. This year, SPbPU is organizing competitions in the Mechanical Engineering and Hotel Business tracks. An innovation of this season was the provision of access to the Olympiad career portal to participants in the selection round. Every student interested in professional development will be able to try their hand at internships at more than 700 companies – industry leaders.

    Organizing such competitions for students is an important part of our comprehensive work on training highly qualified engineers. The special value of the cases of this Olympiad is that they are based on real production tasks, and thus students can get to know the profession they have chosen better, and we can help them better prepare for their future work and try to interest them, – said Konstantin Savichev, Director of the Engineering Center of Power Machines.

    The Olympiad provides a wide range of career support opportunities: project diploma holders can take advantage of benefits when entering the next level of education, get the opportunity to do an internship and start their professional career with leading Russian employers.

    The Polytechnic University hosted the spring stage of the competition for high school students, “The Polytechnic Challenge.” The students participate in the festival as teams from educational institutions and solve research and scientific problems of various types, apply their knowledge in practice, and learn to find non-standard solutions.

    The Polytechnic Challenge was held in six directions. During the week, the participants had to find the best solution to the tasks from the organizers. The developers of the tasks were students and teachers of the university’s Department of Continuing Education.

    The classic game “What? Where? When?” attracted a record number of teams eager to demonstrate the depth of their knowledge, sharpness of mind and resourcefulness. And the “Physical Battles” direction required schoolchildren not only to be able to solve physical problems, but also to be able to convincingly argue their decision, defending their position in a dispute with their opponents.

    As part of the construction case, teams of schoolchildren created models of buildings and structures capable of withstanding seismic loads. It is important to note that the participants worked strictly within the parameters set by the organizers for height, width, and depth. Particular attention was drawn to projects that used original design solutions and unusual shapes. Defending their work, the schoolchildren talked about the development process and methods of connecting parts. The stability of the models was tested on a vibration table.

    At the case championship, schoolchildren had to develop a product or system that would reduce the negative effects of urbanization and overpopulation of cities. The key issues were transport problems, housing shortages, ecology and social inequality. Participants proposed a wide range of ideas, from improved transport systems to smart home projects. The jury especially noted the projects that had real prospects for implementation and were highly developed.

    One of the areas was a 3D case. Schoolchildren designed a manipulator capable of holding a load of a certain weight. The task included preparing 3D models, creating models for printing on 3D printers, and printing finished products. Contestants were tested on their knowledge of engineering basics and ability to use modern digital tools. The best projects demonstrated not only technical complexity, but also a creative approach to solving the task.

    The main task of the hackathon was to create translators of slang expressions that often cause misunderstandings between generations. Schoolchildren presented mobile applications, websites designed to simplify communication. The jury paid special attention to the convenience of interfaces and the effectiveness of solutions.

    The winners were teams from School No. 45, Gymnasium No. 406, Engineering and Technology School No. 777, Anichkov Lyceum, Academy of Digital Technologies, Kirov Gymnasium, Schools No. 345 and No. 246. The best teams received an important advantage for admission to the Polytechnic University – 5 additional points to their Unified State Exam results.

    The Polytechnic Challenge festival clearly demonstrated the high level of training of our schoolchildren and their desire to find solutions to current social and technical problems. The competitions provided the children with a unique opportunity to reveal themselves in various fields of knowledge. Such events play a key role in the development of engineering thinking and the formation of future professionals in the field of advanced technologies, – noted the leading specialist of the Center for work with applicants Egor Kruchinin.

    Source: Novosibirsk State University – Novosibirsk State University –

    From March 21 to 24, the final stage of the competition was held at NSU and “Boiling Point – Novosibirsk”. 45 teams from 10 regions of Russia participated in the competitive selection. The 15 best from Novosibirsk, Tyumen and Yaroslavl reached the final.

    The very name of the Schoolchildren’s Medical Tournament encodes the essence and format of the event: it is a tournament in the “speaker-opponent-reviewer” format for schoolchildren who want to realize themselves in the field of medicine. The roles of the participants allow them to fully demonstrate their abilities in solving clinical or fundamental problems: the skill of finding the necessary information in scientific sources, oratorical skills, the presence of basic fundamental knowledge, the ability to conduct a discussion.

    The ITS includes a Selection and Final Stage: in the first, participants must solve two or more problems in the form of a presentation, where the children mainly use diagrams and illustrations to answer questions, and in the second, there is a face-to-face competition, where they must solve at least 8 problems out of 10.

    The top three teams in the final included teams from the city of Tyumen, the national team SUNC NSU took fourth place.

    — I would like to note one feature of the teams in this year’s tournament. Despite the fact that most of the participants were beginners (i.e. they were participating for the first time or represented grades 9-10), their level of knowledge was almost equal to that of medical students. They were very well versed in the material and reasoned like real specialists, — commented Maria Shperling, a fourth-year student. Faculty of Medicine and Psychology, NSU and the chairman of the organizing committee.

    The medical tournament of schoolchildren appeared and still exists due to the active work of the organizing committee, consisting of proactive medical students, with the support of the administration of the Faculty of Medicine and Psychology of NSU. The first season of the project took place back in 2019, and three tournaments, including this year’s MTS, have already been implemented with the support of Rosmolodezh.Granty.

    — What do schoolchildren get by participating in the tournament? As the Chairman of the Methodological and Expert Commission, I would like to say first of all about acquiring the skill of working with information, new useful acquaintances and knowledge received from the expert commission. It is also important that the guys get a chance to get in touch with the unusual student life of our faculty, their career guidance in a rather unusual and therefore as close to medicine format as possible also plays a role. At the MTS, we always say that medicine is only for love, so we really want to show this world of endless knowledge, experience and discoveries in its real form: complex, controversial, but full of love and teamwork, — shared Evgeniya Kholdina, a 4th-year student of the specialty “General Medicine” and the Chairman of the Expert and Methodological Commission of the MTS.

    In addition to practical skills, participants can count on additional advantages when entering NSU in the form of points for individual achievements:

    3 points – for all participants of the Final Stage,

    7 – for prize winners,

    10 – for the winners.

    Points are valid for two years for prize winners and winners of both individual and team competitions.

    Students of all years participate in the organization of the Medical Tournament of Schoolchildren direction “General Medicine” Faculty of Medicine and Psychology of NSU and residency.

    As Evgeniya Kholdina says, there are participants, prize winners and winners of the tournament in more than one course of our faculty, and the organizing committee is almost half made up of MTShat. With the right competencies, anyone can become an organizer, an expert, a task writer and a volunteer.

    — We try to create comfortable conditions for the guests of our university every year, but we never forget that we are an Olympiad, after all, so a revolution of consciousness, a couple of new convolutions and a wagon of knowledge await each participant. For NSU students, this is a unique chance to prove themselves, we all have warm feelings for this event and are preparing to meet future NSU students, as well as bright minds of the scientific and medical community, — added Evgeniya Kholdina.

    Source: State University of Management – Official website of the State –

    On April 2, a meeting of students with the famous Russian director Alexander Zhigalkin was held at the State University of Management as part of the VI All-Russian Festival of Student Short Films “Kinosfera”.

    Aleksandr Zhigalkin is a theater, film and dubbing actor, TV presenter, screenwriter, producer, director of such humorous projects as “6 frames” and “Thank God, you came!”, as well as the well-known television sitcoms “Daddy’s Daughters”, “Daddy’s Daughters. New” and “Voronins”. Winner of the Russian national television award “TEFI-2011” in the nomination “Director of a television program” for the sketch show “6 frames”.

    At the beginning of the conversation, Alexander noted that calling him “outstanding” is not entirely correct.

    “An outstanding director is Eldar Ryazanov, Andrei Tarkovsky, Federico Fellini, Michelangelo Antonioni and a huge number of great masters. I only have an outstanding nose. So I ask you to talk to me like a normal person. I just do my job well, so everything works out great,” the guest noted.

    The meeting was held in a question-and-answer format and provoked a lively discussion and response from students.

    The first thing we did was ask the director what inspires him to create and how he started his career.

    Alexander noted with regret that the films that inspired him as a child are not known to the modern generation, and this is sad, because being well-watched is an important quality for a director.

    “In the 2nd grade, I watched the film “Truffaldino from Bergamo” – a funny, wild comedy based on the play by Carlo Goldoni “The Servant of Two Masters”. I was shocked by how incredibly Konstantin Raikin played there: he danced, made faces, but did not sing himself, the songs were performed by Mikhail Boyarsky. I especially remember how the main character jumped and fell with plates, and I began to repeat this at home. After I broke several plates, my parents gave me plastic ones and approved of my hobby. In the 5th-6th grade, I began to attend classes at the ZIL People’s Theater and there I developed an incredible love for theater. After school, I went to a theater institute, I did not think about another profession. I failed the first time, but after serving in the army I tried again and entered,” the speaker shared.

    He also spoke about his first attempts at acting, the difficulties of life in the 90s, his first troupe and his first staged performance. Alexander Alexandrovich also noted why he ultimately chose cinema over theater, and why the profession of a director is better for him than acting.

    “I didn’t want to go to the theater as an actor, because at that time it seemed like theater was a bondage. I sincerely adore the theater, but only as a spectator. In the theater, a lot of things weigh on an actor: the director, the producer, the artistic director, etc. And for me, the lack of opportunity to freely engage in creativity is death. The director is freer, his creative life is longer. In addition, as an actor, I always have the opportunity to play a small role in a film, because the director approves me without auditions.”

    Alexander also told a funny story about how in the 90s a friend from Moscow State University helped him go to Germany as a student of the landscape science faculty for a paid internship.

    “I didn’t understand anything about this area, but I had a diploma as an actor from the B. Shchukin Theatre School, so I coped brilliantly with the role of a student. I came to the office at 8 a.m., colored cards, sometimes went out for practice. But after a month I ran away from there to earn money by tap dancing with a musical group from Hongover.”

    The guest emphasized that an important role in the formation of his life priorities was played by a meeting with the German Ferdinand, who was involved in cars.

    “It turned out that in his youth he taught physical education to Konstantin Raikin in Leningrad. And, apparently, something clicked in him when he met me, because I am also an actor, and he showed me the first Mercedes in my life, which I saw up close. When we got in, he showed me what incredible functions it had, that the car was like alive. And he said an important phrase: “A car should be either this or nothing. So wait for the opportunity to get exactly what you want.” Then I realized that since there are no roles like what I want, and I don’t want to play others, I need to do something else.”

    When asked how to understand that a script is worth taking on, Alexander answered simply: “You have to take what grabs you.” The director also emphasized that his goal is “to make films and TV series that give people the opportunity to lift their spirits, become kinder and brighter, and disconnect from the problems that are plentiful in real life. At the same time, the quality of humor is important; jokes should be subtle and ironic, and not stoop below the belt.”

    Since the meeting was attended mainly by students from the Department of Management in the Sphere of Culture, Cinema, Television and Entertainment Industry of the Institute of Management and Budgetary Culture, they took advantage of the opportunity to clarify how they could get onto the set and join the director’s team.

    “It is quite possible to watch the filming process, I think we can organize it. As for the team, everything is more complicated here. Today there is a shortage of specialists in all areas of the filming process. I am a tough guy on the set, a tyrant and a despot. My filming pace is fast, so I try to assemble a group so that everything works like clockwork. I always say before filming: guys, we came so that the actors in the frame feel as comfortable as possible. We will be letters in the credits, and they will carry everything we wanted to say to the viewers.”

    Of course, the guys asked how the director felt about the reboot of the project “Daddy’s Daughters”, which he directed from 2007 to 2011.

    “I would like to remind you that “Daddy’s Daughters” is our first sitcom that was created on Russian script soil, and not adapted from a foreign version. I was a guest director and took part in the development. It’s like sculpting, where you are not alone, but your hands are present on the clay. As for the new seasons, I only filmed the first of them. It is an excellent successful project, wonderful actresses whom I selected and with whom we communicate. But for me, after those 5 years when we were just starting out, that feeling of the team, the atmosphere, the children and the intonations that were there, something didn’t work out in the new seasons. It’s too decent, too bright, the apartment is too rich. In my opinion, it should be a family from the next door, with ordinary problems familiar to everyone. The new seasons are talented, interesting, but not for me.”

    Alexander also talked about how “Voronins” was filmed and what he considers to be the secret to the long life and popular love of this project.

    “It was the happiest time of incredible happiness, we were one family, spent a lot of time together. The viability of this sitcom is due to the fact that we all did not quarrel, did not break up, but lived in happiness and friendship for all these ten years. There is a channel “Voronins”. Sometimes I turn it on and think “My God, how good this is!”, although it is no longer a trend today, but there is so much sincerity and truth in relation to the viewer. On the set, we were disciplined and united by Boris Klyuev, who is no longer alive. I remember how courageously he acted until the last, when he was already battling cancer, but never asked for indulgences or anything like that. You can see all this on the screen and it became the life of families. If we talk about the reboot of the series called “Kostya-Vera”, then I watched two episodes and did not do more. Without Boris, it makes no sense to do this, he was the nail that held everything together.”

    When asked what advice the renowned master could give to young directors, Alexander gave advice that applies to many creative professions.

    “You definitely shouldn’t get depressed, be afraid, or be embarrassed by your expressions. You should definitely read literature, it provides a huge amount of plot material for work, for new stories, for building character relationships. You need to understand and accept that everything has already been filmed and written. Times change, but people, their problems, and relationships are essentially the same. Chekhov, Tolstoy, Gogol have already written all this. You need to read thoughtfully, it’s so funny, deep, and sometimes scary. If you think you’ve come up with something yourself, then put that idea aside, study historical experience, and you’ll understand that it definitely happened. It’s all about talented interpretation, so you need to learn from the greats.”

    There was also a question about how young talents can break into cinema. The guest’s answer is simple in essence, but difficult to execute, and can be framed for absolutely everyone and not to forget about it.

    “The first thing you need to understand is that in order to break through, you need to break through. 90% of success is work. My teacher Yuri Avsharov used to say: “If it doesn’t work out, don’t sit in the kitchen and complain. Open a book and read, go to people, they will see you and hear you.” If a person is creative, then they will find their place. It is important to always keep yourself in working tone, then everything will work out.”

    At the end of the meeting, there were photo and autograph sessions, and representatives of the student editorial board of the State University of Management SUM Times took a short interview from Alexander, which will soon be published in the Vkontakte group and on the Rutube channel.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Leonid Baltovsky: “Values are a person’s response to the challenges of history”

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    Source: Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering – Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering – Leonid Baltovsky

    Leonid Baltovsky, professor of the Department of History and Philosophy at SPbGASU, took part in the scientific discussion “Values as a Philosophical Problem”. The discussion took place on March 29 at the Saint Petersburg Humanitarian Trade Union University. Scientists from the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences presented reports at this event.

    We asked Leonid Vasilyevich what values are and who forms them.

    – Values are a person’s response to the moral and aesthetic challenges of history. Aesthetic values are associated with the identification, experience, and creation of harmony. They are associated with a person’s ability to have deep, strong, vivid emotional experiences, the ability to perceive many shades of moods and feelings.

    Even the ancient Greeks understood harmony as the main quality of the cosmos, which manifests itself as the unity of diversity, coherence, consonance, integrity. Harmonization of a person’s relationship with the world, with other people, with oneself causes a feeling of psychological comfort, enjoyment, pleasure. Harmony is experienced with inspiration, giving birth to beauty. These are the things, ideas, meanings for which a person, group, society are ready to create, create or sacrifice. Values do not arise by themselves, they are the result of the spiritual development of humanity. The creators of values are scientists, writers, actors, artists, that is, people of intellectual labor who affirm life through labor. Labor in itself is an important moral value.

    – Why are values important?

    – Values acquire significance in the orientation of a person’s life, help to form a dream and set a goal. They allow one to make the right decisions and find the best options for choosing the means to implement the plan, ensuring mutual understanding in interactions with other people in society, etc.

    – What should a person do whose values do not coincide with the values of other people?

    – To begin with, such a person can be recommended a method that in scientific literature has received the name “the theory of the “mirror “I””, in which society serves as a kind of mirror. In such a mirror, we can see the reactions of other people to our own behavior. Our concept of ourselves originates precisely in this idea. Observing the reaction of others, a person corrects his idea of what is due, forming in himself the universal human values that we discussed above.

    In relation to value orientations, the most important thing is that in the pursuit of the means of life, a person should not lose its purpose and meaning.

    – Why is the discussion about values relevant in our time?

    – The relevance is caused by the need to preserve and strengthen traditional Russian spiritual and moral values, as well as the need to counter socio-cultural threats to Russia’s national security in matters affecting the traditional values of Russian society.

    – How do traditional Russian spiritual and moral values differ from universal human ones?

    – Those that reflect the identity of the Russian people and their spiritual guidelines. According to the decree (Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 809 of November 9, 2022 “On Approval of the Fundamentals of State Policy for the Preservation and Strengthening of Traditional Russian Spiritual and Moral Values”), traditional values are moral guidelines that are passed down from generation to generation and form the basis of the all-Russian civic identity. These include: life, dignity, rights and freedoms of man; patriotism, citizenship, service to the Fatherland and responsibility for its fate; high moral ideals (however, they are not disclosed in the decree), a strong family, creative work; the priority of the spiritual over the material, humanism, mercy, justice; collectivism, mutual assistance and mutual respect; historical memory and continuity of generations, as well as the unity of the peoples of Russia. While universal human values unite people of all nations, regardless of where they live, and include such concepts as justice, love, and virtue.

    – What was said during the discussion that would be worth conveying to students and colleagues?

    – Students should respect the cultural and historical heritage of the country. Diligently, carefully listen, study history through familiarity with the biographies and activities of outstanding people of the Fatherland. Knowledge of the achievements of great people will contribute to the formation and development of a sense of patriotism, pride and respect for the talents of Russia.

    The teacher as a bearer of knowledge plays a key role in the process of forming value orientations of student youth. He is not only the creator of the educational process, but also the bearer of ethical standards, a clear example for students in matters of preserving and strengthening spiritual and moral values.

    In adhering to high standards of ethics and morality, a teacher must understand that he is able to embody spiritual values in life through his actions and relationships with others, thereby creating a basis for the formation of similar values in students.

    – What conclusions did the participants in the discussion come to?

    – Participants in the scientific discussion agreed that more attention should be paid to preserving cultural identity, including traditional values, since the socio-cultural changes occurring in the modern world can negatively affect the unity of multinational and multi-confessional Russia.

    The speakers said that traditional values are established, generally accepted beliefs that, in turn, determine the behavior and relationships of people, being the basis for the formation of cultural heritage and the transfer of values from generation to generation. It was said that it is necessary to pay due attention to the upbringing and education of younger generations in the spirit of respect for traditional spiritual and moral values, taking into account the activities of extremist and terrorist organizations, individual media outlets of states unfriendly to Russia.

    The speakers noted the spread of destructive ideologies, including the propaganda of egoism, immorality, permissiveness, denial of the ideals of service to the Fatherland and other values that are no less important for strengthening society.

    The participants in the discussion emphasized that in order to solve emerging problems in preserving and strengthening traditional values, systematic work must be carried out in the fields of education and upbringing, culture and science, mass media and communications.

    Leonid Baltovsky’s participation in the scientific discussion was highly appreciated by the head of the Department of History and Philosophy of SPbGASU Irina Lapina: “I believe that Professor Baltovsky worthily represented the department at such an important event. Our teachers are constantly expanding their scientific horizons and making every effort to cultivate civic consciousness in students and instill correct values in young people.”

  • MIL-OSI Russia: NSU astronomers first in Russia photographed Mercury’s comet-like sodium tail

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    Source: Novosibirsk State University – Novosibirsk State University –

    Astronomers from the Vega observatory of NSU managed to record a rather rare astronomical phenomenon — a comet-like sodium tail of Mercury. The photo was taken in March and is the first in our country. According to NSU astronomers, the length of the tail in the photo is about 150 thousand km. The comet-like sodium tail was discovered, by astronomical standards, relatively recently — in 2001. At the moment, astronomers from all over the world have taken several dozen similar photos.

    The difficulty of photographing Mercury’s tail is that a combination of several factors is required: Mercury reaching its maximum radial velocity relative to the Sun, Mercury’s significant angular distance from the Sun (elongation), and suitable meteorological conditions.

    Everyone knows that a tail can be seen in comets – these are small bodies of the Solar System, which consist mainly of ice and dust. When a comet approaches the Sun, the sublimation of matter (water, volatile gases and dust) from the surface of its nucleus occurs, forming a coma and a tail. Dust particles scatter sunlight, so the tail of comets can be seen from Earth.

    However, not only comets have tails, but also some larger objects in the Solar System. For example, Mercury.

    — The mechanism of formation of Mercury’s tail is similar to the principle of formation of comet tails. This planet is characterized by a thin and weak atmosphere, which consists of helium, sodium, hydrogen, potassium and oxygen. Mercury has weak gravity and a weak magnetic field, so the atoms of chemical elements that make up its atmosphere are constantly blown away by the solar wind due to its proximity to the Sun. Therefore, a comet-like sodium tail of Mercury is formed, it is called sodium, since it is most clearly visible in the sodium line – at a wavelength of 589 nanometers, — said Yegor Konyaev, engineer of the Vega observatory of NSU.

    Mercury’s comet-like sodium tail was discovered in 2001, when its first photograph was taken. There were already guesses that something like this should exist in the 1980s. However, because the tail is rather dim and a special filter must be used to capture it, it was impossible to photograph it for a long time. However, this became possible with the advent of highly sensitive digital cameras. In 2001, the length of Mercury’s tail was estimated at no more than 40 thousand kilometers based on the photograph. Later, in 2008, photographs were obtained from which it became clear that the length of the tail exceeds 2 million kilometers.

    — Taking a photo of Mercury’s sodium tail is not the easiest task, but with a special filter it becomes feasible for almost every amateur astronomer. I first learned about this phenomenon about a year ago, when I saw impressive photos by German astrophotographer Sebastian Voltmer. Later it became clear that only a few dozen such photos have been taken, and not a single one in our country. This prompted me to try to photograph Mercury’s tail, — Yegor said.

    The photograph was taken using a special filter, for a specific wavelength – 589 nanometers, with a transmission width of 10 nanometers. This is necessary to isolate the spectrum band in which the Mercury tail has the greatest brightness. It was also necessary to shoot with long exposures and high sensitivity, the total signal accumulation time was 8 minutes.

    The problem is further complicated by the fact that Mercury’s tail is brightest at ±16 days from perihelion. Mercury has a fairly elongated elliptical orbit, so at perihelion it comes quite close to the Sun.

    — It is clear that the Sun’s influence on Mercury will be greatest at the moment the planet passes perihelion. Therefore, it seems logical that this is the best moment to film the tail. However, for reasons related to the Doppler shift of sodium absorption lines, Mercury’s tail is brightest at moments of ±16 days from perihelion, since the planet reaches its maximum radial velocity relative to the Sun at this time, — Yegor explained.

    This year, the most favorable period for observing Mercury was the end of February and the second half of March. Mercury was photographed when it was very low above the horizon — the planet’s altitude was only 3 degrees. The shooting was done from the Vega observatory of NSU. According to NSU astronomers, the tail in the photograph is about 150 thousand km long.

    Other objects in the Solar System that have comet-like tails include the Moon and Jupiter’s satellite Io. The Moon has a very weak atmosphere, it is extremely rarefied. The Moon is also exposed to the Sun, and sodium atoms leave the satellite’s atmosphere, forming a tail. The Moon’s tail can only be observed during the new moon, when the satellite is between the Sun and the Earth. At this moment, the beam of tail particles is focused under the influence of Earth’s gravity. The lunar tail looks like a weak spot in the part of the sky diametrically opposite the Sun. A special filter is also needed to photograph it.

    The future plans of NSU astronomers include recording the tail of Jupiter’s closest satellite, Io.

    — The peculiarity of this space object is that it is quite close to Jupiter, which causes significant tidal forces that generate high geological activity. Io’s volcanic emissions also contain sodium, which can be recorded using a filter. The difficulty in photographing Io’s tail is the proximity of Jupiter. Its relatively high brightness does not allow photographing Io’s tail. To solve this complex problem, it will be necessary to upgrade the telescope and make it a coronagraph, which will allow cutting off light from the bright planet. After that, it will be possible to try to take a picture of Io’s tail. Even fewer such photographs have been taken in the world. This is a task for the future that we set for ourselves, — Yegor said about his plans.

    The next time favorable conditions for observing Mercury’s sodium tail in our latitudes will occur in the spring of 2027. With due patience and persistence and the availability of special equipment, any amateur astronomer can photograph it.

    April 2, 2025

    Road equipment of Belgoroddorstroy LLC.

    Resource availability for road works and the quality of materials used are among the key points in the implementation of the national project “Infrastructure for Life”. Today, over 900 asphalt concrete plants are operating in 84 subjects of the country – participants of the national project, involved in its activities. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

    “We have an ambitious task – by 2030, at least 85% of federal and at least 60% of regional highways should be in a standard condition. Of course, the effectiveness of the implementation of the national project “Infrastructure for Life” directly depends on the quality of materials and work performed, so in anticipation of the new road season, enterprises are checking the serviceability of equipment at asphalt concrete plants and laboratories. This year, 923 asphalt concrete plants will be used in the participating regions for the purposes of the national project,” said Marat Khusnullin.

    Today, road enterprises are actively implementing innovative technologies, including automated component dosing systems, modified bitumen binders, and others. In 2019, a register of new and best technologies, materials, and technological solutions for reuse was created. To date, it contains 417 types of materials, 67 technologies, 85 designs, and 99 production facilities. In 2024 alone, new technologies and materials from the register were used at 2,133 sites.

    Inspection of asphalt concrete plants is the most important stage of preparation for the upcoming season. Early de-preservation of equipment after the cold period and its careful preparation will help to avoid breakdowns, downtime and additional costs at the height of the road season.

    “Commissioning work is currently underway, specialists are also checking the availability of inert materials, technical documentation, and assessing the equipment of laboratories. Thanks to timely contracts, contractors can competently plan the schedule for entering the facilities, this entire set of preparatory measures will allow work to begin immediately upon the onset of favorable weather conditions,” said Igor Kostyuchenko, Deputy Head of the Federal Road Agency.

    For example, in the Voronezh region in 2025, according to the national project, it is planned to renew about 200 km of regional and inter-municipal roads. For these purposes, 28 asphalt concrete plants will be launched.

    Active preparation for the road construction season is also underway in the Lipetsk Region. This year, the region plans to bring more than 200 km of regional and inter-municipal road network, as well as 9 artificial structures, into compliance with the national project.

    From the beginning of April, 8 asphalt concrete plants will start working, including the plant in the village of Koptsevy Khutor. Last year, 220 thousand tons of mixture were produced here for the repair of more than 140 km of regional roads.

    In the Belgorod region, only under the national project “Infrastructure for Life” in the region, they plan to bring 59 road facilities with a length of 157.5 km, as well as 10 artificial structures, into regulatory condition. The required volume of asphalt concrete mixtures for the road industry of the Belgorod region will be provided by 34 asphalt concrete plants, 18 of which will be used directly for the national project facilities.

    In the Saratov region, about 200 km of roads will be repaired this year under the national project, including sections of the street and road network in Saratov and Engels. To achieve these goals, 19 asphalt concrete plants will be involved. Before launching, all road enterprises in the region debug technological parameters, test system integration, conduct personnel training and, of course, undergo a number of mandatory checks.

    Repair of the street and road network in the city of Makeyevka, Donetsk People’s Republic.

    In the Donetsk People’s Republic, the Moscow Region and the state company Avtodor are comprehensively restoring the street and road network, including the bypass of the city of Makeyevka. Thanks to these works, the traffic load on Makeyevka Highway and 250th Anniversary of Donbass Avenue will be reduced, and the safety of movement for residents will be increased, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported.

    “During a recent working visit to the DPR, the regional leadership and I reviewed the road renovation program. The work is being carried out in a comprehensive manner. In particular, tasks have been set regarding the repair of the street and road network. For example, in Makeyevka, the regional boss – Moscow Region – is restoring more than 34 km of the street and road network, and Avtodor is carrying out work on a 10-kilometer bypass of Makeyevka, which will ultimately increase throughput and safety, as well as the accessibility of socially significant facilities,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.

    Marat Khusnullin added that there are more than five schools on the streets along the bypass route. For the convenience of residents, 36 bus stops will be built, and a parking lot and a sidewalk will be made on Avtotransportnaya Street.

    “Our specialists are renewing the road surface on Magistralnaya, Avtotransportnaya and Gorodetskaya streets. They have already started the active phase: removing old asphalt, laying new surface and installing curbs. They will soon start laying the top layer of asphalt concrete and installing safety elements: they will install 400 road signs, apply almost 4 thousand square meters of markings and install outdoor lighting. We plan to complete the work this summer,” said Vyacheslav Petushenko, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Avtodor State Corporation.

    The Troika card is produced using a complex five-stage technology:

    Microchip production – microchips are manufactured on silicon wafers in a specialized “clean” room. The newest Troika chip is entirely domestically produced.

    COB module production – the Chip on Board (COB) module protects the microchip from damage. To do this, it is necessary to separate the chip from the plate, install it on the substrate and enclose it in a protective case.

    Inlay manufacturing – a film with preliminary marking for future cards is prepared, onto which a COB module with an antenna is soldered, forming a functional RFID tag capable of interacting with turnstiles and validators.

    Printing and design of the card – the recognizable design of the Troika card is applied. The insert is placed in plastic, which completes its appearance.

    Card personalization – a unique identification number is programmed into the chip memory, which is linked to the Moscow Metro database. This number is used to track the balance, eligibility for travel and other information related to a specific user.

    Advanced technology and safety

    Each Troika card consists of five layers:

    Transparent protective layer Front printed layer Embedded layer with chip and antenna Back printed layer Additional protective transparent layer

    The chips themselves are grown on silicon wafers, a process that can take up to three months. The latest Russian-made chip has three times the memory capacity and meets the highest security standards.

    The backbone of the Moscow ticket system

    Launched in 2013 under the leadership of Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, the Troika card has become the backbone of Moscow’s public transport ticketing system. It efficiently calculates more than 3,500 fare options depending on the type of transport, zone and validity of the pass.

    The development of a ticket system based on Russian technologies is a critical step in ensuring the stability and safety of Moscow’s urban transport network, emphasized Maxim Liksutov.

    The complete localization of Troika card production underlines Moscow’s aspiration for technological self-sufficiency and uninterrupted service to millions of passengers.”
