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

    Samaraneftegaz (part of the Rosneft oil production complex) increased its industrial grade oil reserves by 19 million tons by the end of 2024, which made it possible to replenish oil production by 1.8 times.

    Such indicators were achieved due to the successful application of new engineering and technological solutions in geological exploration. At the fields developed for a long time, 12 new deposits were discovered with an increase in reserves in the categories АВ1С1 В2С2 in the amount of 2.3 million tons.

    In 2024, Samaraneftegaz geologists built five exploration wells, during testing of which industrial oil flows with flow rates of up to 80 m3/day were obtained.

    Work on reprocessing and reinterpretation of seismic exploration data was carried out at the Zimarny, Nikolsko-Spiridonovskiy, Festivalny, Novo-Krutyakovskiy and Teleginskiy license areas. Based on their results, a detailed geological model was obtained, which allows specifying the drilling points of exploration and appraisal wells, reducing geological risks when drilling deep wells in the study area.

    Currently, Samaraneftegaz is working on 132 fields. Their development is carried out using, among other things, horizontal and directional wells, which allow increasing flow rates and oil recovery factors.

    Replenishment of reserves and their consistent introduction into development is one of the key elements of Rosneft’s strategy. Samaraneftegaz is conducting targeted work to increase the mineral resource base. One of the areas is revaluation of reserves taking into account the introduction of new technologies, clarification of the geological structure of deposits, additional exploration of poorly studied areas and development of methods for commissioning new deposits.

    Samaraneftegaz participates in auctions for the right to use subsoil. The work done has allowed the company to increase its reserves by 119 million tons of oil over the past five years.

    Reference:

    JSC Samaraneftegaz, a subsidiary of NK Rosneft, carries out production activities in the Samara and Orenburg regions. Cumulative production since the beginning of development in 1936 exceeds 1.3 billion tons of oil and more than 87 billion m3 of gas.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: HSE Economists Describe the Portrait of a Russian Remote Worker and Platform Employee

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    In Russia, mostly married women aged 30–39 with higher education living in large cities work remotely, while platform employment is more typical for men of the same age with a wide range of qualifications from megacities. This is the conclusion reached by economists from the Higher School of Economics after analyzing digital forms of employment in the Russian labor market. The study was published in a preprint of the series “Problems of the labor market”.

    Modern technologies have changed the labor market, making remote and platform employment popular forms of work. Russia has not remained on the sidelines: remote work attracts women with higher education living in large cities, and platform employment is more typical for men working in the transport sector or in retail.

    Platform employment is work via online platforms where specialists find clients, communicate with them, and provide services or sell goods. This is how taxi drivers, couriers, psychologists, tutors, copywriters, and designers work.

    Remote employment is work that is performed outside of an office or other work premises provided by the employer. It can be organized with or without the use of digital technologies.

    Deputy Director Center for Labor Studies, National Research University Higher School of Economics Rostislav Kapelyushnikov and senior lecturer Department of Applied Economics Faculty of Economic Sciences, National Research University Higher School of Economics Daria Zinchenko conducted a study on the specifics of digital forms of employment in the Russian labor market. The study covers the period from 2020 to 2023.

    Scientists have found that in Russia, women work remotely, making up about 60% of the workforce, while men work remotely, making up 40%. According to the researchers, this is due to two circumstances. Firstly, there are traditionally more women among workers engaged in mental work (white collars), while physical work (blue collars), which is more often done by men, requires personal presence, which makes remote employment virtually impossible. Secondly, remote work allows you to devote more time and attention to family responsibilities, which traditionally fall on women.

    Among remote workers in Russia, employees aged 30–39 (36.5%) predominate; they live in cities and have higher education. Remote employment is most often used in the field of information technology, where every eighth person works online. Then come scientific and technical activities — 7%, finance and real estate transactions — 4%. This form of employment is even less common in administrative activities — about 2.5%. The outsider in this list is agriculture: there are practically no remote employees in this industry.

    In platform employment, as in remote employment, the largest group is workers aged 30 to 39. Most Russians who work in platform employment mode, like remote workers, live in large cities (82%); almost 40% have higher education. However, unlike remote work, platform employment is widely represented by blue-collar jobs with different qualification requirements, so it is more skewed towards the male audience (58%). If we talk about industries, platform employment is most often used in the field of transport and trade (about 20%), construction (about 10%) and manufacturing (slightly more than 7%). In sectors such as agriculture, mining, electricity and water supply, platform employment is almost never used.

    “Today, a significant portion of Russian workers have accumulated real experience working in these non-standard modes and are able to switch to them quickly and painlessly,” notes Daria Zinchenko, one of the authors of the study.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: NSU scientists have developed a method for determining ultra-low concentrations of radioactive substances

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    Source: Novosibirsk State University – Novosibirsk State University –

    Scientists Faculty of Physics, Novosibirsk State University developed a method for measuring ultra-low concentrations of radioactive substances whose decay is accompanied by gamma radiation. Data is collected using a detector made of ultra-pure germanium, which is part of the equipment of the Interfaculty Laboratory of Atomic Physics and Spectrometry of NSU; a special hardware and software complex was created for data processing. The first project implemented using this method is research work on determining the level of radioactive substances (radon) in the soil of mines and coal opencasts in the Kemerovo Region.

    To measure the radioactivity of soil samples for various nuclides, gamma-ray spectra were collected using a detector made of ultra-pure germanium. This is unique equipment that allows for very precise determination of the energy of gamma quanta emitted by radioactive substances. Germanium is a rare chemical element in the Earth’s lithosphere. Like silicon, it is a semiconductor and is used in microelectronics, but its scope of application is narrow. As a detector material, its efficiency of photon registration is higher than that of silicon, so it is used in detectors of not only X-rays, but also gamma radiation. Obtaining ultra-pure germanium is a complex and slow purification process using the zone melting method, which determines the high cost and complexity of equipment manufacturing.

    There are devices that can register gamma radiation with even greater efficiency than a germanium detector, but only it can distinguish closely spaced gamma-quanta energies, and therefore gamma-quanta from different radionuclides. This is called high energy resolution; for a detector made of ultrapure germanium, it is approximately 0.01% in the energy range characteristic of gamma-quanta from atomic nuclei (units of megaelectron-volt). High resolution plays a decisive role in measuring ultra-low concentrations of radioactive substances, when it is necessary to separate background radiation and sample radiation and determine specific emitting radionuclides.

    NSU scientists have developed a unique, highly sensitive method that allows determining ultra-low concentrations of radioactive substances in any samples – soil, ground, rocks, etc. The method has been tested and proven effective during the implementation of a project to determine the content of radioactive substances (in particular, radon) in the soil of mines and coal mines in the Kemerovo Region. Kemerovo State University employees approached NSU with this task in the spring of 2024. The KemSU study is aimed at determining the influence of soil types, artificial (for example, mining) and natural changes in soils and climate on the radioactive environment. In the future, this may make it possible to predict the radiation environment, for example, during housing construction.

    — The main difficulty of the task was that the provided soil samples had a very low concentration of radioactive substances. Therefore, it was necessary to collect a lot of statistics for a reliable result, and statistics of both the sample itself and the background, the indicators of which were then “subtracted”. The work lasted almost half a year, we involved research associates of the educational Interfaculty Laboratory of Atomic Physics and Spectrometry of NSU, as well as students undergoing practical training as part of their studies, — says Elena Starostina, senior lecturer of the Physics Department of NSU.

    The first stage involved collecting data directly on the detector. In total, colleagues from KemSU provided about 230 samples weighing from 100 to 250 grams, obtained from different places and from different depths – half a meter, one meter and one and a half meters. Data was collected daily from May to November 2024, and a background spectrum was also collected every week, without samples.

    The experimental setup was as follows: a detector made of ultrapure germanium, cooled by a nitrogen cryostat, is surrounded by a lead tube with a wall thickness of about 10 mm. The tube suppresses the flow of background gamma quanta from the room by about three times. The tube rests on a table with an opening for the detector. Samples were placed directly on the detector.

    — In the case of measuring ultra-low concentrations close to natural ones, the main difficulty is related to the fact that there is background radiation. It can be weakened with a lead screen, which is what we did, but it is impossible to completely eliminate it. Even with all the measures, the radiation of the samples was more than 7 times weaker than the background. In order to obtain a good contrast between the background and the actual study of the samples, it is necessary to collect the spectrum over a long period. The spectrum of each sample was collected in half-hour portions, for at least three hours, then half-hour spectra of good quality were selected so that the total statistics time was at least 2.5 hours. Once a week, multi-hour background spectra were collected, — Vyacheslav Kaminsky, senior lecturer, curator of the Interfaculty Laboratory of Atomic Physics and Spectrometry of NSU, shares the details of the experiment.

    Another feature of the experiment is that the geometry of the measurements is such that only about 10% of the gamma quanta from the sample get into the detector. There are well-type detectors made of ultrapure germanium, which surround the sample from almost all sides, but they can only accommodate small samples. The detector made of ultrapure germanium at NSU allows working with samples of any size, and the developed technique in a sense compensates for the insufficient efficiency of gamma quanta registration.

    The experimental data are presented as spectra with peaks from gamma lines and a continuous “substrate”. The peaks have a complex shape: they resemble a Gaussian curve with different widths on the left and right, they have a “tail” on the left, and the substrate on the left and right has a different level. The width of this “bell” in energy units characterizes the detector resolution: the narrower the peak, the finer the measurements that can be made. This peak shape is provided by both the processes of interaction of gamma quanta with the detector substance and the environment (for example, the Compton effect), and the processes of charge formation during the absorption of gamma quanta in the semiconductor and its collection.

    After collecting the data, the researchers were faced with the task of determining the radiation of the samples, eliminating the background. The spectra were processed and the activity of the radionuclides was calculated.

    — The method consisted in the fact that in the obtained data, in which the difference between the background and the sample was very small, a joint fitting of individual gamma lines was carried out for the spectra with the sample and the background. Each isotope that emits gamma quanta can have a dozen gamma lines, they are different, at different energies and with different intensities. First, good, intense lines were selected so that they were not very close to each other. According to the set of good, intense lines, each peak was fitted, it was done simultaneously for the background and for the background with the sample. Such a complex procedure is necessary in order to measure not only the amplitude of the peaks, but also to correctly estimate the measurement error. The resulting difference between the amplitudes for the sample with the inevitable background and only the background are the indicators of the sample itself, — says Vyacheslav Kaminsky.

    Several programs written in Python were developed to collect and process the experimental data. The first one was for automatic spectral acquisition, which also recorded which operator placed the sample. Another one was for selecting, calibrating and summing the spectra. The third one was for calculating the activities of radionuclides. In addition, a separate program calculated the absolute efficiency of the detector. The scientists used classical statistical methods to determine the peak parameters, such as the least squares method, implemented in the MINUIT2 software library.

    The study revealed that the samples contained only radioactive isotopes potassium-40, thorium-232 and uranium-238 and their decay products, which are common radionuclides found in soils, rocks and many building materials. The specific activity of the samples ranged from 0.1 to 2 becquerels per gram (decays per gram). These values are within safe limits, but the most active sample (with an error of about 7%) is equivalent to several bananas (see “banana equivalent”, bananas are active mainly due to the potassium-40 they contain). The least active sample is equivalent to half a banana with an error of more than 50%, which indicates a very high sensitivity of the method. At the moment, the KemSU research team has received the measurement results and is processing them.

    Thus, the method developed by NSU scientists allows measuring very low levels of radiation, and linking it to specific radiating agents – radionuclides. This method will find application in monitoring the environmental situation, for drawing up maps of radioactive contamination after radiation accidents, etc.

    The scientists plan to register a data processing program with Rospatent, certify and license the methodology, and in the long term, create a center for collective use that will conduct comprehensive work on chemical analysis of samples using spectral methods in the optical, X-ray, and gamma ranges.

    The NSU Interfaculty Laboratory of Atomic Physics and Spectrometry (Atomic Workshop) is an educational laboratory where students become familiar with a range of atomic and nuclear phenomena, including atomic radiation, light absorption, visible radiation, visible light absorption, magnetic phenomena, nuclear magnetic resonance, electron paramagnetic resonance, electron diffraction, etc. The laboratory is equipped with special equipment, including a detector made of ultrapure germanium, which allows studying radiation from natural objects. Students from the Physics Department and the Natural Sciences Department study in the laboratory, and experimental research is also conducted as part of coursework.

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

    On February 8, the State University of Management held an “Initiation into Future Professionals” event, timed to coincide with the celebration of Science Day.

    More than 500 tenth-graders from Moscow’s entrepreneurial classes gathered within the walls of the university.

    The curator of the city project “Entrepreneurial Class in a Moscow School” Gulnara Koshimbetova greeted the children and encouraged them to share their opinions about the training.

    “Today, this event is taking place in all the project partner universities. It is important that we have gathered at the State University of Management. The first half of the training year has passed, and you have an idea of the project. Perhaps you have ideas on how to make it more significant and effective. You can tell us about it in the feedback form, and we will take your wishes into account. Wear the badges of the entrepreneurial class with pride and may your path lead to great success,” Gulnara Kashulbekova wished.

    Nikolai Mikhailov, Advisor to the Rectorate of the State University of Management, also gave a speech.

    “It is no coincidence that representatives of the entrepreneurial classes gathered at the State University of Management, because our university has extensive experience in training managers not only for the public sector, but also for various sectors of the economy. From the presentation, you already learned that the State University of Management was founded in 1919. But recently, our historians have established that the university was actually created on the basis of the Alexander School, which opened back in 1879. And it turns out that the State University of Management is older. Our university is not only the first management university in the country, we are now restoring everything related to the engineering direction, including engineering and economics, which is especially in demand today,” noted Nikolai Nikolaevich.

    In addition, the advisor invited the children to the university’s Open Day, which will take place on March 26.

    The official part was continued by the Vice-Rector of our university, Pavel Pavlovsky, who spoke about the various entrepreneurial opportunities for schoolchildren.

    “I would like to name one more reason why GUU is an entrepreneurial university: it is young at heart. Just yesterday I was on the radio and the host said that an entrepreneur is someone who sees the difference between supply and demand and levels it out. I will add that entrepreneurship, in my opinion, is not so much about profit as it is about opportunities for people. We want to teach you how to create good for the country and benefit all citizens. For example, GUU master’s students are already implementing programs in federal camps, conducting a course on business and entrepreneurship, helping 14-17 year olds understand this area and realize themselves,” said Pavel Vladimirovich.

    The program of the event, along with official performances, included bright numbers from the KVN team of the State University of Management and the vocal group “StuDos”.

    After the concert, the tenth-graders took the Solemn Oath of Future Entrepreneurs and went to their classrooms, where they were treated to master classes from graduates of the State University of Management who had become successful entrepreneurs: Vice President of the Novard Group of Companies Sergey Sarkisov, founder of GoTrans Elmira Shagiakhmetova, and General Director of Project 21 Anesti Xinoupoulo.

    The guests talked about their path to success, encouraged the children to be brave and believe in themselves, and also answered questions from those gathered.

    In addition, throughout the event, GUU students conducted various activities for young guests and introduced them to the rich extracurricular activities of the university. The stands presented the V.I. Vernadsky EcoClub, the Mind Games Club, the StuDos Creative Team, the Business and Entrepreneurship Course Project, and the State University of Management Student Fire and Rescue Squad.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Everyday life and celebration of Russian science at the State University of Management

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

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

    On February 8, 1724, Peter I issued a decree on the development of science in the Russian state, as a result of which the first Academy of Sciences and Arts appeared in the country. It differed significantly from its Western counterparts by the presence of a university and a gymnasium in its structure, where talented young people studied regardless of their financial status, including commoners. In 1999, on the occasion of the 275th anniversary of the founding of the Academy, a holiday for all scientists, professors and students was established – Russian Science Day.

    Over the past year since the last holiday, the State University of Management has made significant progress in various scientific research and development. In 2024, 19 projects were completed, and 8 more are in the implementation stage. Two new dissertation councils were held: Regional and Sectoral Economics, Logistics and Transport Systems (jointly with BPU named after Shukhov). The number of RSCI publications exceeded 3,500 units, and VAK publications – 1,169.

    The Advanced Engineering School “RosGeoTech” continues its work together with the GGNTU named after Academician M.D. Millionshchikov. The projects ABRIS (Autonomous unmanned and robotic innovative systems in oil and gas, energy and construction engineering) and “GeoMap” (formation of an interactive map of geothermal resources of Russia) are being implemented. Within the framework of the first, for example, a droneport is being developed – a robotic complex for servicing UAVs.

    In the spring of 2024, young scientists from the State University of Management won a grant from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education to implement a large-scale high-tech project in the field of agro-industrial technologies. The digital village project is being developed in a consortium with the Omsk Agrarian Scientific Center (Omsk ASC) and the Udmurt State University (UdSU).

    Our scientists and the university management actively participate in various forums and conferences. During the year, 16 such events were attended. Among the largest of them, one can name the IV Congress of Young Scientists in Sirius, where two memorandums of cooperation were signed, an open meeting of the Expert Council on International Educational Scientific Cooperation of the State Duma of the Russian Federation was held, and a scientific session on the topic of opportunities for scientists to grow in rural areas.

    Young talents from our university also visit Moscow schools and share their knowledge there as part of the All-Russian campaign “Scientists to Schools”.

    Recently, employees of the Reverse Engineering Laboratory of the State University of Management conducted research on the issue of 3D scanning.

    Many orders for digitalization of technical documentation come to the inter-university design bureau based at the State University of Management. This work does not look revolutionary, but it has great practical significance for real productions, significantly facilitating their activities.

    And that’s not all we can talk about. Our university is preparing to test its own drone, developing a unified digital standard for passenger service, fulfilling orders from well-known developers and city authorities, modeling traffic flows, designing parts for road cleaning equipment, and is constantly looking for new partners.

    Projects of SUM scientists win various competitions, and the work of teachers is recognized with the highest prizes and awards. Thus, the team of the First Management headed by the rector Vladimir Stroyev received the Russian Federation Government Prize in the field of education, the head of the Laboratory of Convergent Expertise and Assessment of Technology Maturity Denis Serdechny won a special prize in the Competition for Young Scientists dedicated to the 300th anniversary of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the director of the Center for Management of Engineering Projects Vladimir Filatov won in the nomination “My Pedagogical Initiative” of the All-Russian competition “My Country – My Russia”, and the director of the SUM Business Incubator Dmitry Rogov won the All-Russian competition of research “Russian Identity”.

    We don’t know yet what will happen next, but our scientists are ready to predict the future using the latest probabilistic methods based on the theory of decision-making under uncertainty. In the meantime, the Council of Young Scientists of the State University of Management shared its plans for the near future, in particular, the intention to hold the School of Young Scientists in February and the spring inter-university conference of young scientists.

    And today, as part of the “Science Festival,” a solemn ceremony of initiation and presentation of pre-professional class badges is taking place at the State University of Management, for more than 500 tenth-graders from 18 schools in the capital.

    We congratulate all those involved on the Day of Russian Science and wish them great discoveries, breakthrough developments, incredible ideas, and most importantly, the implementation of all their plans and a noticeable contribution to the cause of Russia achieving technological leadership.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: IMF Executive Board Concludes 2024 Article IV Consultation with Nicaragua

    Source: IMF – News in Russian

    February 7, 2025

    Washington, DC: The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation[1] with Nicaragua.

    Nicaragua’s economic performance remains robust, underpinned by prudent macroeconomic policies and very strong remittance flows. The economy continues to be open and resilient, on a backdrop of transfers of private property to the state, international sanctions, and a reorientation of official financing. Real GDP growth accelerated to around 4½ percent in 2023 and the first half of 2024, from about 3.8 percent in 2022, on the back of robust domestic demand, while inflation declined. Twin fiscal and external account surpluses are leading to a decline in the public debt-to-GDP ratio and the accumulation of strong buffers.

    Real GDP growth is projected to moderate to 4 percent in the near term and to 3.5 percent in the medium-term, amid a slower pace of remittances growth, limited labor contribution to growth due to recent emigration, and cautious private sector investment decisions. International reserves are expected to grow at a slower pace than in the recent period, with narrowing of fiscal and current account surpluses as the authorities’ increase public investment.

    Risks to the outlook are broadly balanced in the short-term and to the downside in the medium term. Upside risks include stronger domestic demand, while downside risks include lower global growth, a deterioration in the terms of trade, natural disasters, stricter and wider international sanctions, and a change in immigration policies in the U.S. In addition, going forward, domestic and international political developments, and deterioration of the rule of law may also impact economic performance by potentially increasing the cost of doing business.

    Executive Board Assessment[2]

    Executive Directors agreed with the thrust of the staff appraisal. They welcomed Nicaragua’s robust growth, declining inflation and public debt, and fiscal sector and current account surpluses, supported by prudent macroeconomic policies and high remittances. While noting the positive outlook, Directors stressed that risks are to the downside, including from natural disasters, international sanctions, and U.S. immigration policies. They underscored the importance of continued efforts to safeguard macroeconomic stability, strengthen buffers, and support higher and more inclusive growth.

    Directors welcomed the authorities’ commitment to preserving fiscal sustainability, while supporting growth. Efforts to strengthen domestic revenue mobilization, enhance spending efficiency, and support higher capital and social spending are important. Noting the limited availability of concessional financing, Directors highlighted the importance of prudent debt management to safeguard debt sustainability. They underscored the need to mitigate fiscal risks by strengthening fiscal transparency, enhancing oversight of state owned enterprises, and reforming the pension system.

    Directors agreed that monetary policy should remain focused on supporting price stability and the exchange rate regime and highlighted the criticality of policy coordination. They recommended that the Central Bank of Nicaragua adjust monetary and exchange rate policies, as needed, enhance communication, and strengthen monetary policy transmission. Directors encouraged steadfast implementation of the 2021 safeguard assessment recommendations.

    Directors welcomed the commitment to maintaining financial stability. Noting the vulnerabilities, they encouraged proactive provisioning of distressed assets, close monitoring of consumer credit growth, enhanced foreign exchange risk monitoring, and aligning the crisis preparedness framework with international best practice. Measures to increase financial inclusion and deepening, including developing local bond and capital markets, would support medium term growth.

    Directors stressed the need for efforts to promote higher medium term growth and enhance climate resilience. Important measures include increasing human capital investment, targeted social spending, and promoting labor force participation, particularly for women. Directors also called for efforts to enhance the business climate and strengthen government institutions and frameworks to support increased private investment.

    Directors noted the steps taken to enhance governance, anti corruption, and AML/CFT frameworks, and emphasized that further efforts are needed to ensure their effective and appropriate application. They stressed the need to significantly improve the rule of law and safeguard judicial independence. Publishing asset declarations of politically exposed persons and supporting property rights are important. Directors welcomed the authorities’ commitment to enhancing the quality and consistency of statistics.

    It is expected that the next Article IV consultation with Nicaragua will be held on the standard 12 month cycle.

    Dmitry Chernyshenko held a meeting on the issue of training personnel in the field of tourism and hospitality

    Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko held a meeting on the issue of training personnel in the field of tourism and hospitality and spoke with students of the Russian State University of Tourism and Service (RSUTIS).

    Acting Rector of RSUTS Ambartsum Galustov presented plans for the development of the university’s infrastructure and educational programs to the Deputy Prime Minister and ministers.

    “The formation of a system for training and developing the human resources potential of workers in the tourism and hospitality sector is one of the priority tasks of the industry, set by President Vladimir Putin. Currently, about 1 million people are employed in this sector. The need for employees is about 250 thousand, by 2030 this number will increase to 400 thousand people. New specialists are needed for the successful development of the industry as a whole, as well as for the implementation of large-scale investment projects, such as “Five Seas and Lake Baikal”. The Russian State University of Tourism and Service is intended to become a leading center for training personnel for the industry. Today, the university signed several agreements on the creation of new campuses,” said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

    The plans include the development of the scientific and educational infrastructure of RSUTS in Zavidovo, Tver Region, and in Anapa, where they will train personnel for the Five Seas and Lake Baikal project.

    In Russia, students are admitted to more than 100 universities and 1,300 colleges in the field of tourism and hospitality. Within the framework of the national project “Tourism and Hospitality”, training centers have been created in the Moscow Region on the basis of RSUTS, Tatarstan and St. Petersburg.

    At a meeting at the university, a comprehensive approach to solving the issue of personnel shortage was discussed. This is necessary to achieve the goals set by the head of state within the framework of the national project.

    “Tourism needs a model of integration with secondary vocational education. There should be interaction with strong regional universities. These should not be point solutions. And today’s agreements are an example that can be replicated throughout the country. Another important aspect is labor productivity. We have created competence centers based at Kavkaz.RF and in Krasnodar Krai. The centers have been created and have begun work. Also, together with businesses, it is worth working on the issue of including the topic of productivity in educational programs for training personnel for the tourism industry,” said Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov.

    The head of the Ministry of Education and Science, Valery Falkov, noted that today special attention is paid to the training of personnel in the tourism sector. The new model of higher education provides for qualitative changes in the implementation of educational programs, which should be a modern response to the industry’s demand.

    Dmitry Chernyshenko emphasized that the interest of tourists in the Moscow region, where RGUTIS is located, is growing every year. “This is facilitated by the availability of high-quality infrastructure for recreation and a huge number of attractions – these are cultural heritage sites, churches and monasteries, estates, monuments of military glory, which is especially important in the Year of the Defender of the Fatherland, declared by President Vladimir Putin, in the year of the 80th anniversary of our Victory,” the Deputy Prime Minister added.

    Dmitry Chernyshenko assessed the university infrastructure and talked to students. He noted the attention of the head of state and the Ministry of Economic Development to the tourism sector and supported the students in choosing this direction. The guys presented their projects, including concepts for the adaptation of foreign students, the development of design projects for the Five Seas and Lake Baikal program and the popularization of tourism among young people through student media.

    In addition, the consecration of the restored temple-chapel of the Blessed Grand Duke Alexander Nevsky took place.

    Dmitry Chernyshenko left a note in the university’s memorial book: “I am confident that the experienced teaching staff of RSUTS and the talented students who came here from different regions of the country will make a serious contribution to the development of tourism in Russia. As our President Vladimir Putin said, domestic tourism is one of the main priorities.”

    “The President called the development of domestic tourism one of the priorities of the long-term development strategy of Russia. In our Moscow Region, we see that there is a great demand for tourism, and therefore for specialists. In our Moscow Region, we have 14 colleges and 5 universities engaged in training personnel. Last year, one of the three federal resource centers was created here, on the basis of RSUTS, which plans to train 10 thousand specialists for the entire country this year,” said Moscow Region Governor Andrei Vorobyov.

    Following the meeting, the Deputy Prime Minister gave a number of instructions, including updating educational programs, developing plans for the development of the university, and holding new competitions in the field of tourism.

    The meeting was also attended by the Governor of the Tver Region Igor Rudenya, Deputy Minister of Labor and Social Protection of Russia Dmitry Platygin, Deputy Minister of Education of Russia Irina Shvartsman, Deputy Governor of the Krasnodar Region Alexander Ruppel, university rectors, representatives of companies and public organizations.

    Trading volumes on the Moscow Exchange standardized derivatives market increased by 77% in 2024, from 8.3 trillion to 14.7 trillion rubles.

    Today, 85 Russian financial sector companies conclude transactions on the DFI market, of which 20 companies entered the market in 2024. In particular, non-state pension funds and insurance companies received the opportunity to conduct transactions with over-the-counter derivatives with a central counterparty (CCP) last year.

    Today on on the Moscow Exchange’s SPF market Interest rate swaps, currency swaps, currency-interest rate swaps, currency forwards with a maturity of three days to 10 years depending on the type of instrument are traded. The instruments of the SPFI market provide the opportunity for the most flexible management of currency and interest rate risks in transactions on the markets of the underlying asset.

    Transactions on the SFD market are concluded with the CCP, which allows combining the flexibility of over-the-counter derivatives and the reliability of the Moscow Exchange settlement infrastructure. This also frees financial market participants from the need to assess the risks of each counterparty and sign general agreements with all of them, reduces capital costs and takes advantage of unified clearing and collateral with other Moscow Exchange markets.

    Since its launch in 2013, the SFI market has developed in two directions – exchange and over-the-counter. Since 2019, the trading activity of participants has been concentrated exclusively in over-the-counter transactions with a central counterparty. In connection with this, a decision was made to terminate the functioning of the exchange segment of the SFI market., and May 13, 2022 was set as the last trading day on which exchange contracts could be concluded on the SFD market.

    Moscow Exchange will continue to develop tools for managing various types of risks. In December 2024, the SFI market was launched new trading and clearing system “SAPFIR”, which combines advanced trading and clearing solutions, as well as technological and methodological services in the field of risk management of the NCC. The peculiarity of the new TCS is the ability to quickly launch new over-the-counter instruments at the request of participants, which allows for an effective response to changes and market needs. Thanks to this opportunity, participants will be able to hedge credit, commodity and other types of risks in the future.

    The Moscow Exchange Group operates the only multifunctional exchange platform in Russia for trading shares, bonds, derivatives, currencies, money market instruments and commodities. The Group includes a central depository and a clearing center that acts as a central counterparty in the markets, which allows Moscow Exchange to provide its clients with a full cycle of trading and post-trading services.

    Dmitry Grigorenko’s meeting with heads of digital transformation of federal executive bodies

    Digital transformation programs for 2025 and the planning period 2026–2027 have been adopted for 11 federal ministries and departments. They were reviewed at a meeting of Deputy Prime Minister – Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko with heads of digital transformation of federal executive bodies.

    The meeting approved development programs for the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Digital Development, the Ministry of Energy, the Russian National Guard, the Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science, the Federal Archives Agency, the Federal Reserve Agency, the Federal Fisheries Agency, the Federal Bailiff Service, and the Federal Mandatory Medical Insurance Fund. Their projects provide for all the main planning parameters with established target indicators: funding volumes; key results (e.g., harmonizing departmental information resources, increasing the speed of processing interdepartmental requests); infrastructure development (e.g., transferring systems to Russian software and Russian information security tools).

    “In total, we have to approve 60 departmental digital transformation programs. Their implementation is aimed at increasing the efficiency of the departments themselves and public administration as a whole. This includes the quality of decisions made based on data received online, and the transparent implementation of key functions, and the speed of providing public services,” commented Dmitry Grigorenko.

    For example, the Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund plans to introduce a system of personalized accounting of information on medical care provided in 2025. This will allow receiving information about insured citizens online, reducing errors in medical organizations’ bills, generating information about everyone who is subject to dispensary observation, creating individual medical examination routes for them, etc. Based on this information, personal risks of insured persons will be calculated, and forecasts of medical care consumption will be built.

    Taking into account the implementation of the tasks set within the framework of departmental digital transformation programs, a number of additional priorities were also identified at the meeting. Thus, among the tasks for 2025 is to introduce artificial intelligence technologies into the feedback platform. This will allow for the fastest possible classification of citizens’ requests by issue and assessment of the quality of responses to them. Also, special attention will be paid to ensuring information security in 2025.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Scientific regiment. Chemist and theologian Nikolai Pestov

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

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

    Nikolai Evgrafovich Pestov (1892-1982) – Doctor of Chemical Sciences – specialist in the field of mineral fertilizer technology, professor, holder of the Order of Lenin, famous theologian, historian of the Orthodox Church.

    Nikolay Pestov was born on August 17, 1892 in Nizhny Novgorod. He was the youngest, tenth, child in the family. From school, he was interested in chemistry and in 1911 he entered the chemistry department of the Imperial Moscow Higher Technical School (now Bauman Moscow State Technical University). When the Great War, as World War I was then called, broke out, he first entered the Alekseevskoye Military School, and later volunteered for the front with the rank of ensign, without finishing his fourth year at Bauman Moscow State Technical University.

    During the war, Nikolai Pestov participated in training soldiers for chemical defense. Once he had to defuse a bomb and carry it out in a truck along a broken road. He took the body of the bomb as a souvenir. After the February Revolution, Nikolai Pestov was elected a member of the regimental committee and the regimental court. A review of him spoke of his discipline, tact, excellent knowledge, and “a sympathetic and noble heart.” For his military distinctions, Nikolai was awarded the Order of St. Stanislav, 3rd degree, and the Order of St. Anna, 3rd degree.

    After the October Revolution, Nikolai Evgrafovich had the chance to serve in the Nizhny Novgorod Cheka, in the capital’s Vsevobuch administration under the All-Russian Main Headquarters, and as the head of the Vsevobuch administration in Sverdlovsk, where he personally met Lev Trotsky, whom he later called a “demonic personality.” Trotsky gave his younger comrade his book with the dedication: “To my friend and comrade-in-arms N. Pestov, as a keepsake. Lev Trotsky.”

    In 1921, the convinced atheist Pestov had a spiritual experience – he saw Christ in a dream – and soon resigned from the Red Army, left the Communist Party, completed his studies at the Moscow Higher Technical School and was hired as an employee of the Scientific Institute for Fertilizers (NIUIF). He began to lead a religious life, and was briefly arrested for participating in a student Christian circle.

    From 1933, he worked at the Department of Mineral Substances Technology at the Mendeleyev Moscow Institute of Chemical Technology, from where he was fired in the dangerous year of 1937 for refusing to speak at a meeting condemning the arrested professor Nikolai Yushkevich. “Almost every day, or rather every night, I expected to be arrested. I believe that only through the prayers of my children, wife and spiritual father was I not arrested at that time and remained alive,” he wrote later. Not long before this, Nikolai Evgrafovich was almost arrested when that very memorable German bomb from the First World War was discovered during a search.

    Two years later, Nikolai Pestov was unanimously elected head of the chemical technology department at the Moscow Engineering and Economics Institute (now the State University of Management), where he headed the chemical technology department. In January 1941, he defended his doctoral dissertation “Physicochemical properties of powder and granular products of the chemical industry.” Later, he worked for about a year as the dean of the chemistry department, and from October 1943, he became deputy director for scientific and educational work.

    During the Great Patriotic War, Nikolai Evgrafovich worked on issues of organizing and planning the chemical industry. A separate topic of his research was mineral fertilizers for the country’s agriculture. These studies turned out to be very useful both during and after the war, when it was necessary to establish agriculture on low-fertility and war-damaged soils. Professor Pestov was not mobilized into the active army due to health reasons; he developed bronchial asthma. His eldest son Nikolai went to the front and died in 1943. While adjusting the fire of a mortar battery, he was wounded and shell-shocked, but refused to go to the hospital; the second wound to the stomach turned out to be fatal. Nikolai Pestov later wrote a book about his son, Life for Eternity.

    Even during the war, Nikolai Evgrafovich stopped hiding his faith from his colleagues and placed a small iconostasis in his office. Since 1943, he worked on the fundamental work “Modern Practice of Orthodox Piety”. Professional merits turned out to be higher than personal convictions for the country’s leadership, and in November 1944, Professor Pestov was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor. In 1946, he received the medal “For Valiant Labor in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945”, and in 1953, for length of service and impeccable work among the workers of science of higher educational institutions of the city of Moscow, he was awarded the Order of Lenin.

    Nikolay Pestov is the author of over 100 scientific publications and had 4 patents for inventions. His memory is still alive at the State University of Management.

    Access to the airport in Bratsk district, Irkutsk region

    Over the past six years, 457 km of regional and local roads leading to airports have been put into operation in the regions participating in the national project “Safe High-Quality Roads” after repair, reconstruction and construction. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

    “Currently, large-scale work is underway in the country to develop airports: new airport complexes are being built and existing ones are being reconstructed, and airfield infrastructure is being modernized. At the same time, we are bringing access roads to air harbors into compliance with regulations. Over the six years of implementing the national project “Safe High-Quality Roads”, more than 120 sections of the regional and local road network leading or included in the routes to airports have been commissioned. Their total length is 457 km. In 2025, we will continue this work thanks to the new national project “Infrastructure for Life”, – said Marat Khusnullin.

    A unified, comfortable transport system for everyone allows us to solve social problems, improve the quality of logistics and strengthen interregional ties.

    “Recently, there has been an increase in passenger traffic on domestic routes, and the national air transportation route network is growing. At the same time, the road transport infrastructure is also developing, which in combination makes travel to other regions safer and more comfortable. In 2024 alone, 21 km of routes to airports were brought up to standard under the national project “Safe High-Quality Roads”. In 2025, repair work is planned for 16 such facilities of the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, their total length will be about 44 km,” said Transport Minister Roman Starovoit.

    The development of roads to airports and transport infrastructure in general also influences the development of domestic tourism. This is another important aspect of the work to improve the quality of life of Russians.

    “Over the six years of implementation of the national project “Safe High-Quality Roads”, more than 2 thousand sections of the regional and local road network leading to unique natural complexes, architectural monuments, religious buildings, historical landmarks have been repaired, reconstructed and built. As a rule, work on such sites was carried out in a comprehensive manner: in addition to the roadway, elements of safety and road infrastructure were installed. As a result, every year travel around Russia is becoming more comfortable, and the increase in tourist flow ensures investment in the regions, contributes to the creation of new jobs, and forms new spaces for business development,” said Igor Kostyuchenko, Deputy Head of the Federal Road Agency.

    Thus, in 2024, a four-kilometer approach to the Krasnoyarsk International Airport was repaired, and in 2023, a section of the highway in the Irkutsk Region was updated – an approach to the Bratsk International Airport, the second largest air harbor in the region. The length of the section is 2.8 km.

    In 2023, the Tomsk-Airport highway leading to the Tomsk International Airport named after Nikolai Kamov was renovated in the Tomsk Region. In total, more than 8 km were repaired during the implementation of the national project. In particular, on the section from Basandayskaya Street in Tomsk to the village of Klyuchi, the road surface was renewed, public transport stops were repaired, and markings were applied. In 2020, about 0.8 km of access road to the airport terminal was built with a ring road and free parking for 226 spaces.

    In 2020, the Airport Yuzhny – Stankostroiteley Street (western bypass of Ivanovo) highway was built in the Ivanovo Region. The new 2.8 km long section connected the federal highway R-132 “Golden Ring” with the existing section of the western bypass and allowed transit transport to bypass the regional center.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Serov Readings Reach New Level

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    Source: Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering – Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering – Participants of the Serov Readings

    On February 3, the Serov Readings took place at SPbGASU. The event, which has been held at our university since 2021, acquired the status of an international scientific and technical symposium this year.

    In memory of a prominent scientist

    “The Serov Readings are held in memory of Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Evgeny Nikolaevich Serov, who worked at our university for many years. The scientist is known for his participation in the development of domestic standards for the design of wooden structures in the USSR and Russia, as well as high-quality textbooks that will always be relevant,” said the organizer of the symposium, head of the department of metal and wooden structures at SPbGASU Egor Danilov.

    According to Yegor Vladimirovich, the unofficial holding of the readings confirmed the hypothesis about their demand among the professional scientific community: famous scientists, including those from abroad, participated in them. At the moment, the goal is to consolidate Russian scientists in the field of wooden structures on the basis of SPbGASU.

    Evgeny Nikolaevich Serov (01.02.1932–30.01.2018) is a prominent scientist and specialist in the field of wooden structures. He worked at our university from 1964 to 2017, rising from assistant to professor of the Department of Wood and Plastic Structures. In 1975–1980, he headed the correspondence faculty.

    Along with the main course “Wood and Plastic Constructions”, he also taught special disciplines, including “Engineering Restoration of Architectural Heritage”, and conducted practical classes directly at architectural monuments with unique wooden structures. The research work of students supervised by Evgeny Serov was repeatedly awarded second and third degree diplomas by the Ministry of Higher Education of the RSFSR, and the students were participants of the USSR Exhibition of Economic Achievements and co-authors of scientific articles and inventions. Combining extensive public and administrative activities, Evgeny Nikolaevich worked on the most important national economic topics of the State Construction Committee and the State Planning Committee, the Ministry of Higher Education of the RSFSR.

    As a result of many years of research, Evgeny Serov developed new structural forms from glued timber structures (GTS), technologies for their production, including waste-free cutting of blank blocks, as well as calculation methods that take into account the high degree of anisotropy (unequal properties in the directions of the fibers) of glued timber. He formulated the main principle of GTS design – the principle of tracking orientation with the coordination of the fields of effective stresses and the resistance fields of anisotropic material, developed and implemented special curvilinear inserts in the junctions of frame and beam structures, a method for strengthening the support zones of GTS using glued reinforcement bars, which was used in arches with a span of 63 m.

    New solutions in the use of wood

    Opening the symposium, the Vice-Rector of SPbGASU for scientific activities Evgeny Korolev emphasized: despite its long history, the topic of wood use is constantly evolving. Today, it is necessary to search for new design and technological solutions.

    Professor of the Department of Metal and Wooden Structures, Honorary President of the Wooden Housing Association Alexander Chernykh believes that the event provides an opportunity to pass on experience to the younger generation, and that the attention of colleagues from other universities is important for SPbGASU researchers.

    Deputy Dean for Research, Associate Professor of the Department of Architectural and Civil Engineering Olga Pastukh invited everyone to the III National (All-Russian) Scientific and Technical Conference “Prospects of Modern Construction”, which will be held at SPbGASU on April 21–23.

    The program of the Serov Readings included 23 in-person and remote reports, 23 poster reports from 62 participants. 46 people applied as listeners, including students and postgraduates of SPbGASU. Participants from Moscow, Novosibirsk, Arkhangelsk and other Russian cities, as well as from China and Vietnam, exchanged experiences and opinions on the research conducted in the field of wooden structures, their operation, improvement, and calculation.

    Scientific consultant of Georekonstruktsiya LLC Roman Orlovich informed about the problems of exploitation of wooden structures in historical buildings. In his opinion, wooden floors can be preserved with the right approach to analysis of their bearing capacity, physical wear and tear and damage by rot, as well as with the right use of technical solutions.

    Chief Researcher of the Kucherenko Central Research Institute of Building Structures (a structural division of JSC NIC Construction) Alexander Pogoreltsev shared the results of a study of platform joints of multi-story buildings made of CLT. He is confident that the general theory of calculating platform joints, which is successfully used in calculating reinforced concrete structures, is not applicable to wood, which is an anisotropic material (i.e. a material with different mechanical properties of fibers when forces are applied to the fibers in different directions).

    The current generation of researchers are worthy successors of the famous scientist.

    Postgraduate student Elizaveta Kotova presented a report on “Bearing capacity and deformability of circular LVL structures” (supervisor – Egor Danilov): “LVL timber is famous for its high strength and durability, and circular structures made of this material allow you to create elegant and effective architectural forms with large spans, without the use of massive supports. This opens up new opportunities for designing buildings and structures with a unique design. Therefore, the relevance of the study of circular LVL structures is due to the need to develop accurate methods for calculating the stress-strain state, improve the regulatory framework, increase the efficiency of design and operational safety.”

    As a result of studying the existing methods for calculating circular structures, Elizaveta managed to find out that information about the bearing capacity and deformability of circular LVL structures is relatively limited compared to studies of rectilinear LVL beams. This is due to the complexity of analyzing the stress-strain state in curvilinear structures.

    At present, trial tests of LVL samples with different angles of inclination have been carried out to visualize the behavior of a curvilinear LVL sample under load in order to obtain the main mechanical characteristics of the material. The results obtained will be used for more accurate compilation and calculation of the LVL circular structure in the computational program. In the future, it is planned to study the stress-strain state of dowel joints. Based on the results of the numerical study, a physical model of the LVL circular structure will be developed, which will be tested in laboratory conditions.

    The work is aimed at creating a mathematical model for calculating the stress-strain state of circular LVL structures, which will improve the efficiency of calculating and designing such structures and optimize technical solutions, which will lead to an increase in their bearing capacity and rigidity.

    Master’s student Yulia Trunina presented a report on the topic “The influence of low negative temperatures on the mechanical properties of LVL” (supervisor – associate professor of the Department of Metal and Wooden Structures Pavel Koval): “As the temperature decreases, the properties of wood change, namely, the strength and elastic characteristics become higher. This pattern allows the material to be used in regions where for a significant time of the year the air temperature is not only below zero, but also reaches -70 °C. LVL is a composite material based on wood. This allowed us to assume that a change in its properties will also occur with a change in temperature.”

    An experiment at freezing temperatures of -70, -35 and 0 °C on compression of small LVL samples of more than 300 pieces confirmed the dependence. At the same time, depending on the direction of the veneer fibers, the change in strength and elastic modulus occurred with varying degrees. Yulia reported that this will allow more accurate prediction of the material properties in the future. It became possible to take into account the thawing process (using the derived formula), since the experiment took place under normal conditions – at 20 ° C. These data should be used in the future for larger structures, such as beams or frames, and also to study their durability, i.e. the operation of the structure in the climatic conditions of the Arctic and the Far North, taking into account time. And it is also necessary to consider the combined effect of moisture and temperature on the structure, including in real conditions with fluctuations of these factors.

    International experience

    The work of postgraduate student Xu Kaixuan was called “Development of methods for calculating composite (wood-concrete) floor slabs of residential and public buildings” (supervisor – professor, doctor of technical sciences Alexander Chernykh). “I began working on this topic during my studies in the master’s program at SPbGASU and chose it for my PhD dissertation. I would like to note that the research is carried out by a student team with the active assistance of employees of the Center for Mechanical Testing of Building Structures at SPbGASU,” the author noted.

    According to the postgraduate student, the applied basic design solutions and forms of wood-concrete composite slabs are in demand in the construction of industrial, civil construction and social infrastructure facilities, including multi-apartment residential buildings using wooden CLT structures, as well as in the construction of pedestrian and automobile bridges as span slabs. Xu Kaixuan attributed the advantages of such solutions to environmental friendliness and sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and synergy of the strength properties of concrete and wood. The main problem is to ensure the joint operation of concrete and CLT under load.

    During the research, Xu Kaixuan determined the types and shapes of metal connectors (connectors) to ensure the joint operation of CLT slabs and concrete; he found that the combination of shape, size and location of connectors in the adhesive bond zone are critical to the perception of the acting loads of composite floor slabs.

    At present, an analysis of the best practices for the design and application of wood-concrete composite floor slabs in Russia and abroad has been conducted, and the relationships between the geometry of connectors and the bearing capacity of the samples under study have been experimentally established.

    Xu Kaixuan plans to conduct numerical modeling and experimental studies to determine the missing design characteristics of the adhesive interaction in the contact zone of connectors and concrete to develop a method for calculating the stress-strain state of wood-concrete composite floor slabs.

    The Department of Metal and Wooden Structures of SPbGASU was born from the merger of two large scientific centers: MKiIS (metal structures and testing of structures) and KDiP (wood and plastic structures), authoritative in the Russian scientific community and abroad. The employees of the department are members of the Technical Committee for Standardization in Construction, take part in the work of the All-Russian Scientific and Technical Council for Metal and Wooden Structures. The opinions of the members of the department are listened to in large enterprises of the industry (TsNIISK, Association for the Development of Steel Construction, Association of Wooden Housing Construction, etc.).
