    Five forgotten city traditions are re-entering the life of the modern capital thanks to the festival “Moscow Estates” project “Summer in Moscow”This season, city residents and tourists are offered to attend performances at the open-air summer theatre, learn to play croquet, try writing with a goose quill, create a flower arrangement in the style of the 18th century and attend a costume ball.

    Open-air performances

    The everyday life of the nobility was strictly regulated by the rules of etiquette – the display of violent emotions was considered indecent. But on the stage – be it a home performance or a production in an estate theater – one could give free rein to feelings: play passion, despair and even cruelty. For high society, bored in their own estates, it was the theater that became a real outlet.

    Preparations for such home productions took weeks: plays were selected, roles were assigned, rehearsals took place, sets were made, and costumes were sewn. Although many amateur noblemen had extraordinary talent, the professional stage remained closed to them, because acting was considered an unworthy occupation in high society. However, home performances among family, neighbors, and friends were the order of the day. In wealthy estates, serfs were often involved in productions: gifted peasants played on par with their masters, and sometimes surpassed them in skill.

    The Moscow Estates Festival continues the tradition of summer theaters and estate performances, turning them into unique walks that take viewers back to the 19th century. On August 16, the Bauman Garden of the Basmanny estate cluster will host a summer theatrical performance, Walk with the Heroes of the Great Russian Writers’ Novels. Participants will meet actors dressed as Alexander Pushkin, the heroes of the novel Eugene Onegin, and the merchant Stakheev. The latter will tell about the history of the Basmanny District estates. One of the shows will take place at night. Accompanied by professional actors, guests will walk through Moscow at night, and the light of an old lantern will show the way, reminding us of past eras.

    History buffs will also be interested in the performance “Cultural and Social Life of the Arbat in the 19th Century.” The show will take place on August 30 on Arbat. The artist in the image of the legendary hussar Denis Davydov will tell about the meaning of the street’s name and its life two centuries ago. This excursion will also take place at night.

    Forgotten Amusements of Russian Estates

    A colorful folk game that will captivate even modern youth is burners. The rules are simple: an odd number of players (more than 11) gather on the lawn, choose a driver (who will “burn”), and pair up. The players join hands and line up in pairs behind the burner. The participants sing “Burn, burn brightly, so that it doesn’t go out,” and as soon as they finish singing, the last pair unclasps their hands and runs along the column. When they reach the driver, the pair shouts to him: “One, two, don’t be a crow, run like fire!” and runs on. The main thing is to dodge the burner, stand in front of him and join hands again. If the burner tags a player, he and he form a new pair and stand in front of the column, and the participant who is left alone becomes the driver.

    Another popular summer pastime is cerso, or flying ring game. This entertainment was invented in the early 19th century in France, and it was also popular in Russia in the century before last. Two players must throw a light hoop to each other and catch it on wooden swords. It is hard to imagine summer leisure in any noble estate without this game.

    At the festival “Moscow Estates” visitors are told about the rules of various ancient games and offered to master them. From August 2 to September 14, guests are offered to play trinkets, croquet, badminton, gorodki in the N.E. Bauman Garden and Lianozovsky Park. Masters will not only tell about these amusements, but also help to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of noble leisure.

    Fine handicrafts

    Noblewomen were masters of embroidery and miniature painting, often learning these arts from the best masters of their time. Beadwork was especially popular, becoming a kind of encyclopedia of aristocratic life. Russian embroidery reached an incredible level and could become a worthy gift even for a monarch. From an early age, children were taught needlework: they were presented with special boxes with needles, threads and other tools. By the way, men did not disdain handicrafts either.

    Everyone is invited to try making something with their own hands at the festival venues. For example, in Lianozovsky Park on August 9, 17, 30 and September 7 there will be a master class “Noble accessories. Fans”. There will also be a master class “Noble accessories. Brooches” on August 2, 10, 23, 31 and September 13.

    Transformations at the masquerade

    “Let them talk, but what business is it of ours? Under the mask all ranks are equal…” – perhaps these lines from Lermontov’s famous “Masquerade” best reflect the essence of the costume balls that the Russian nobility loved so much. For the upper class, a masquerade was not just entertainment, but a special game where the impossible became possible. For example, a countess could become a peasant, and an important dignitary could temporarily turn into a jester. The tradition of such balls was established by Peter I, and under Catherine II, masquerades became an integral part of the festivities both in the capital and in family estates.

    The main rule of the masquerade was simple: a costume and a mask gave a person the right to enter the world of reincarnation. By trying on a different image, a guest of the ball seemed to be freed from conventions: a young lady could allow herself daring jokes, and an official – confessions unthinkable in ordinary life. Women especially valued this freedom, for whom the masquerade became a space for risky adventures.

    For those who can no longer attend the old ball today, there are opportunities to feel the spirit of a bygone era and become a participant in the game of transformations. For example, from August 2 to September 14, a retro studio is open in Lianozovsky Park and the N.E. Bauman Garden: here, anyone can put on a historical costume of a 19th-century nobleman and take a photo in this image as a keepsake.

    The art of correspondence

    In the 19th century, post stations were important points of estate life: mailmen stopped here to exchange letters, travelers changed horses, and most importantly, correspondence was sent and received from here. The nobility treated the epistolary genre with reverence: letters were written on special paper with a coat of arms, sealed with sealing wax, and often dried flowers were specially left between the pages, covered in impeccable handwriting. They waited for a reply with trepidation, and took care of each envelope.

    The atmosphere of the old post office was recreated at the Moscow Estates festival. Guests can learn to write with a quill pen, master the art of wax seals and even send a postcard in a vintage style. Until September 14, the post office is open at the Vasilchikov Estate (Military Uniform Museum) and the Khrushchev-Seleznev Estate (A.S. Pushkin State Museum). On August 2 and 3, you can send a letter at the Valuevo and Sviblovo estates, and on August 9 and 10, the postman is waiting for everyone at the Lopukhins-Stanitskaya Estate.

    The festival “Moscow Estates” corresponds to the initiative “Tourist attractiveness of the country” of the national project “Tourism and Hospitality” and helps residents and visitors to learn about the city’s cultural and historical heritage in a modern format.

    Tourism Committee of Moscow forms a sustainable brand of the capital as one of the main tourist destinations in Russia. All year round, Mosturism creates events that unite residents and guests of the city, and replenishes the city’s program with new events. In winter and summer, Muscovites and tourists can immerse themselves in another era at the historical sites of the “Moscow Estates” festival, join the capital’s tea traditions at the “Moscow Tea Party,” or try the “Moscow Breakfast” dishes at one of the hundreds of restaurants participating in the project.

    Project “Summer in Moscow”— the main event of the season. It brings together the most vibrant events of the capital. Every day, charity, cultural and sports events are held in all districts of the city, most of which are free. The Summer in Moscow project is being held for the second time, and the new season will be more eventful: new, original and colorful festivals and events will be added to the traditional ones.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: The first defenses of candidate dissertations took place in the Dissertation Council for Technical Sciences of the NSU Faculty of Information Technologies

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Novosibirsk State University –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    The first two certificates of awarding academic degrees were presented at the Dissertation Council for Technical Sciences Faculty of Information Technology, Novosibirsk State University. Both PhD theses are devoted to computational linguistics: Dmitry Morozov developed a system for assessing the complexity of text using machine learning methods on the example of the Russian language, and Davlater Mengliev developed a hybrid algorithm for recognizing named entities in the Uzbek language. In August, another PhD thesis will be defended, which is devoted to the application of mathematical modeling methods in geophysics.

    — We note the high demand for the Scientific Council for Technical Sciences created at our faculty. Its requirements for dissertation defenses are less formalized than those of the Higher Attestation Commission (HAC), but it sets higher requirements for the quality of publications. Due to these circumstances, our Council will be in demand by a number of employees of both scientific organizations and high-tech companies, for whom the procedure for defending dissertations established by us will be more convenient, but one should not assume that it is simple. This can be confirmed by our first two applicants, who submitted all the necessary documents to the Council and successfully completed all the established and strictly regulated procedures, spoke several times at seminars in front of the scientific community, received high marks for the quality of their work from specially created commissions with the involvement of experts from our Dissertation Council and external experts from several regions of our country and neighboring countries. We are glad that Dmitry Morozov and Davlater Mengliev successfully passed all these tests and their PhD diplomas have the same status as diplomas issued by the Higher Attestation Commission, said Mikhail Lavrentyev, Dean of the NSU Institute of Information Technologies and Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

    Head of the Department of Mathematical Modeling of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of NSU, Professor of the Department of Informatics Systems and the Department of General Informatics of the Faculty of Information Technologies of NSU, Doctor of Technical Sciences Vladimir Barakhnin noted that it is no coincidence that the first two defenses of dissertations for the degree of candidate of sciences are related to computer linguistics – this is evidence of the relevance of this topic.

    — As neural networks and large language models develop, so-called glitches become more and more apparent. The abundance of information loaded onto them inevitably generates a wider range of fake information, and these models are simply no longer able to assess the truth of the information. Therefore, direct or combined methods of information processing that contain classical direct approaches remain important. It is they, as many specialists believe, that will be able to correct the work of large language models. These approaches were used in their works by Dmitry Morozov and Davlater Mengliev. In order for the development of neural networks and large language models not to reach a dead end, it is necessary to involve classical methods of computational linguistics, which uses knowledge of language. In this context, this knowledge is the modeling of human thinking. Neural networks model neural connections in the human brain, but not thinking, and thus implement a purely mechanistic approach to the process of information processing, which is unthinkable without human participation, because humans are both the producer and the end consumer of any information. Therefore, language processing should include an understanding of how it is structured, and not be a mechanical collection of information into large language models, explained Vladimir Barakhnin, the scientific supervisor of both degree candidates.

    Dmitry Morozov’s research is particularly relevant because it aims to establish a correspondence between the text and its potential reader. As Vladimir Barakhnin explained, there is currently a large gap between generations: many words in texts that seem quite understandable to representatives of the older generation turn out to be completely unperceivable for young people. In most cases, these are obsolete words, and in order to understand them, schoolchildren have to turn to dictionaries. The algorithms developed by Dmitry Morozov are aimed at ensuring that the information consumer receives information adequate to his level of education. Then his development and enrichment of his vocabulary will occur gradually. The importance of these algorithms lies in their real adaptation to the properties of the information consumer and taking into account his capabilities. The expert’s assessment is mostly subjective, and therefore not very reliable, and the methods of objective control developed in Dmitry Morozov’s dissertation allow for a more thorough educational process in the humanities.

    — The topic of my dissertation is “Text Complexity Assessment Using Machine Learning Methods on the Russian Language.” It is devoted to assessing how well the text will be understood by the reader or how well the reader should be prepared to understand what is written. This is necessary to assess the complexity of various instructions. Such texts should be understandable to people without special education and training. But there is a problem: they are created by people who have special knowledge about the subject of the narrative, and therefore much of what is incomprehensible to outsiders seems obvious to them. It is difficult for them to objectively assess the text they are creating. On the other hand, a person who does not have this knowledge, assessing the complexity of the text, must fully familiarize himself with it and give his own assessment. This takes a lot of time. Therefore, a vast field for automating the process is being formed in this area. We have a variety of pre-trained large language models that can be used within the framework of different algorithmic approaches and assess the complexity of the text automatically. My dissertation details how to use them to construct a description of a text, so that the resulting description can then be converted into an assessment of linguistic complexity, said Dmitry Morozov.

    The young scientist’s development will find application in compiling instructions for complex products. It is also proposed to use this complex to create a collection of texts that would be understandable to schoolchildren of different ages. This is necessary so that linguists can further study their vocabulary, because the various texts read by schoolchildren become an important source of new words in their vocabulary. In this way, they will be able to create different collections of words and predict which of them are known to schoolchildren and which are not, relying not on subjective experience, but on objective data.

    The research of the second candidate for the academic degree Davlater Mengliev, according to his scientific supervisor Vladimir Barakhnin, is a pioneering one for Uzbek computer linguistics, which began to develop relatively recently. According to him, at present, an entire scientific school has begun to take shape at NSU and several postgraduate students from the Republic of Uzbekistan are working on the development of this topic.

    — I devoted my PhD thesis to the development of a hybrid algorithm for recognizing named entities in the Uzbek language. This algorithm allows extracting key information from the text and recognizing it. Similar developments already exist for other languages, but for Uzbek, as well as for all Turkic languages in general, such work has not yet been done. The use of a hybrid approach, which involves the use of not only modern neural networks, but also traditional rule-oriented algorithms, which, together with several architectures, contributed to achieving good results, gives additional relevance to my work. At the moment, my development has been implemented in various organizations of the Republic of Uzbekistan, in particular, in the reception office of the governor of the Khorezm region. With the help of this algorithm, key information is extracted from requests and applications received by the institution and sent to the relevant divisions and departments. Since there are many dialects in the Uzbek language, my work in this direction is not yet complete, — explained Davlater Mengliev.

    Secretary of the scientific seminar of the NSU FIT, within the framework of which pre-defenses of dissertations are held, Alexander Vlasov is confident that the first two defenses of candidate dissertations are the beginning of a long journey both within the faculty and NSU and the Akademgorodok as a whole.

    There are never too many graduations. When the ceremonies at the universities were over, more than 450 active, goal-oriented graduates of 2025 who had distinguished themselves in their studies, social activities and creativity met at the National Center “Russia” in Moscow to once again celebrate this important event in their lives.

    Polytechnic University was represented at the All-Russian student festival by Elizaveta Kuznetsova, a graduate of the Higher School of Linguistics and Pedagogy of the Humanitarian Institute, and Kristina Shakhova, a graduate of the Higher School of Public Administration of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade.

    “I learned about the All-Russian Student Graduation and immediately decided to apply to try my hand,” said Elizaveta. “I wrote that I graduated from the university with honors, indicated the publication of scientific articles and volunteer work in the student association TutorForces. In this organization, I was lucky enough to become the deputy head of the SMM department, volunteer in the Unified Center for Registration of Foreign Citizens of SPbPU, participate in organizing events for foreign students and much more! I think that’s why I was invited to the All-Russian Student Graduation.”

    “I became the owner of a unique invitation to the All-Russian Student Graduation!” shared Kristina. “I sent an application, where I noted my achievements in scientific activities: participation in Olympiads, competitions, scientific conferences, publication of articles, defense of competition works in other cities, case championships. I got into the Science section. It was a real celebration, which combined education, creativity and the energy of youth! Honorary speakers spoke, shared valuable knowledge and inspiring stories. Each of us had the opportunity to ask questions and get answers from experts in various fields. In addition to lectures, there was a rich concert program. And at the end of the evening, I received a diploma from the Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of Russia, which was a bright end to this unforgettable event.”

    The “Your Graduation” celebration included many activities: several educational sessions, meetings with mentors and speakers, master classes, the “Letter to a First-Year Student” campaign, and the opening of the “Russian Student Faces” art object. The guests were treated to a performance by musicians Zhenya Trofimov and Roma Rudyka from the “Room of Culture” group, winners of the 2025 Muz-TV award in the “Breakthrough of the Year” nomination.

    MADRID, July 29 (Xinhua) — Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Monday called on the European Union (EU) to “diversify” the country’s trade relations following the announcement of a new EU-U.S. trade deal late on Sunday.

    Speaking at his residence in Madrid ahead of the summer parliamentary recess, P. Sanchez told the press that he “appreciated” “the efforts made by the European Commission.”

    He said the trade deal showed that “one of the lessons Europe must learn in the face of the US administration is that we must act together in all aspects: in strategic autonomy and in commercial agreements with other countries.”

    “We must diversify our commercial relations with blocs that want to reach an agreement with Europe, such as Mercosur,” said P. Sanchez, stressing that Spain’s foreign policy is based on “commitment to peace, reality and cooperation between nations.”

    US President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced the new deal on Sunday after trade talks at Trump’s golf club in Turnberry, South Ayrshire, Scotland.

    While both leaders described the agreement as a step toward restoring “trade balance” and promoting more equitable bilateral trade, the deal allows the United States to impose broad 15 percent tariffs on EU goods while providing zero-tariff access to a range of strategic U.S. exports. In return, the EU has committed to purchasing $750 billion in U.S. energy and investing an additional $600 billion in the United States. –0–

    BUDAPEST, July 29 (Xinhua) — Zhao Leji, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPC), spoke highly of the mutual trust and win-win cooperation between China and Hungary during his official and friendly visit to the European country from July 24 to 28.

    Zhao Leji held separate meetings with Hungarian President Tamás Szujok and Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, as well as talks with National Assembly Speaker László Kövér.

    Chinese President Xi Jinping’s successful state visit to Hungary in May 2024, which elevated China-Hungary relations to an all-weather comprehensive strategic partnership in a new era, opened up broader prospects for friendly cooperation between the two countries, Zhao Leji noted at the meeting with T. Shuyok.

    He said China is willing to cooperate with Hungary to be good friends who respect and trust each other, good partners who bring mutual benefits and achieve win-win results, and good brothers who understand and care for each other.

    China will join hands with Hungary to promote the comprehensive synergy between the Belt and Road Initiative and Hungary’s “Opening to the East” strategy, complete high-quality construction of landmark projects such as the Hungary-Serbia railway, and encourage and support more active exchanges between the two countries and at the local level in culture, media and youth so as to strengthen people-to-people ties, Zhao Leji said.

    T. Šuyok noted in turn that Hungary and China are developing bilateral relations based on mutual respect, mutual trust and mutually beneficial results, which is of great importance and modern value.

    The Hungarian President said that participation in the Belt and Road Initiative is of vital importance for Hungary, and the Hungary-Serbia railway project is an example of major project cooperation.

    He also expressed hope that the two sides will continuously deepen cooperation in areas such as green energy, artificial intelligence, digital economy, youth and education.

    During the meeting with V. Orban, Zhao Leji said that in recent years, China-Hungary relations have made rapid progress and are at the highest level in history. According to him, China values Hungary’s commitment to the one-China principle and is willing to continue to strengthen support for each other.

    China welcomes increased imports of high-quality agricultural and food products from Hungary and expects Hungary to provide political support and security guarantees to Chinese enterprises in Hungary, Zhao Leji said.

    As this year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the EU, Zhao Leji said China hopes and believes that Hungary will continue to play an active role in promoting the healthy and stable development of China-EU relations.

    China will also work with Hungary to promote cooperation between China and Central and Eastern European countries, Zhao Leji said.

    V. Orban noted that the state visit of the President of the People’s Republic of China Xi Jinping to Hungary last year was an important milestone in the history of Hungarian-Chinese relations. According to him, the development of friendly cooperation with China is a strategic choice of Hungary, which will help Hungary modernize technologies and develop markets.

    During the talks with L. Kever, Zhao Leji said that the National People’s Congress is willing to cooperate with the Hungarian National Assembly to advance the implementation of the agreements reached during Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit last year and promote the development of high-level Chinese-Hungarian relations.

    The two sides should strengthen exchanges between legislative organs at all levels and formulate, revise and approve legal documents conducive to bilateral cooperation in a timely manner, Zhao Leji said, calling on both sides to strengthen coordination and cooperation in multilateral arenas such as the Inter-Parliamentary Union.

    L. Kövér said that a growing China is conducive to peace and development of the entire world and contributes to the building of a multipolar world, which is in full accordance with Hungary’s interests. The Hungarian National Assembly is ready to cooperate with the NPC to provide firm support for mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries. –0–

    BEIJING, July 29 (Xinhua) — Beijing authorities have launched a rescue operation as heavy rains have killed 30 people as of midnight Monday, damaged roads, disrupted power supplies and forced mass evacuations.

    The fatalities were recorded in the northern mountainous areas of the Chinese capital, with 28 people killed in the Miyun district and two in the Yanqing district.

    Chinese President Xi Jinping gave an important instruction on flood control and disaster relief on Monday, calling for all-out efforts to ensure the safety of people’s lives and property in the fight against rain-induced floods and geological disasters affecting some parts of China.

    Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, said all aspects of search and rescue and flood control work should be properly organized, urgent measures should be taken to combat natural disasters, all efforts should be made to search for missing people and rescue those trapped, and people in danger should be resolutely evacuated to minimize casualties.

    The downpours forced more than 80,000 people to evacuate in Beijing alone, damaged 31 sections of roads and caused power outages in 136 villages.

    “Several houses in our community were flooded as a result of heavy rain on Saturday night,” said Cui Di, deputy head of the Shicheng Township People’s Government, located in Beijing’s hardest-hit Miyun District. She worked tirelessly throughout the night to help residents move to safer areas.

    “In such emergency situations, it is difficult for everyone. We are doing everything possible to make temporary places of stay a little more comfortable for people and thus alleviate their anxiety,” the official noted.

    According to her, local authorities also prepared mattresses, blankets, bread, eggs and other necessary materials for the evacuees.

    At the Miyun resettlement center, fourth-grader Zhao Zixuan sits on her bed reading a book. She was evacuated from the flooded village on a speedboat. “It’s very safe here, and I can read in peace,” she said.

    In recent days, extreme and strong convective phenomena caused by warm and humid air from the edge of a subtropical anticyclone have been recorded in Miyun and other metropolitan areas.

    At 8:00 p.m. Monday, the Beijing Municipal Flood Control Headquarters launched the highest-level emergency response mechanism for the floods.

    Due to continued heavy rains, the Beijing branch of China Railways suspended some trains on the Beijing-Harbin High-Siberian Railway on Tuesday.

    China’s Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Emergency Management on Tuesday allocated 350 million yuan (about 48.94 million U.S. dollars) from the central budget to provide aid to nine provincial-level regions hit by floods, including Beijing.

    These funds will be used primarily to carry out emergency rescue operations and provide assistance to residents of these regions affected by natural disasters.

    Also on Tuesday, China’s National Development and Reform Commission announced it would allocate 200 million yuan to provide disaster relief assistance in Beijing. -0-

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Polytechnic University proposes using pre-stressed textile-reinforced concrete in construction

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    A group of scientists from the Institute of Civil Engineering of SPbPU, led by Associate Professor of the Higher School of Hydraulic and Power Engineering Oleg Stolyarov, continues to develop lightweight thin-walled building structures made of textile-reinforced concrete with prestressing. In 2024, the project received grant support from the Russian Science Foundation, which made it possible to expand the possibilities for conducting experiments and analyzing data.

    The research group includes associate professors Pavel Mostovykh and Tatyana Koryakovtseva, as well as graduate student and assistant Anna Dontsova.

    Textile-reinforced concrete is a combination of textile reinforcing meshes and fine-grained concrete. The advantages of these elements are the absence of corrosion, lower weight and the ability to create complex shapes. Over the past two decades, this material has found its niche in construction and is used for enclosing structures, coatings, urban infrastructure elements and small architectural forms.

    The aim of the project is to increase the potential of thin-walled structures with fiber reinforcement due to prestressing the reinforcement. Prestressed concrete helps reduce the negative effect of poor tensile properties of concrete, increase the rigidity of the structure, reduce its deformations, increase resistance to crack formation and limit their opening. Structures with prestressed steel reinforcement have significant advantages over non-stressed analogues – smaller deflections and increased resistance to crack formation. A similar principle can be successfully implemented in fiber composites, which opens up new prospects for the use of prestressed textile reinforcement in construction.

    The results of the studies showed that prestressing significantly affects the mechanical properties of concrete composites.

    Thin-walled structures made of textile-reinforced concrete are a revolution in the creation of sustainable, lightweight and bold architectural solutions, says project manager Oleg Stolyarov.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Color against inattention – how students and teachers of RUDN and Altai State University created an app for children with ADHD

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Peoples’Friendship University of Russia –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    There are about 1,600,000 children with confirmed attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in Russia. The necessary therapy is not always available to their families: due to the cost or the lack of specialized centers nearby. Teachers and students of RUDN and Altai State University have developed a special application for such children that increases attentiveness and reduces anxiety using the color photostimulation (CPS) method.

    This year, the ActiMinds project team presented their application at the RUDN.VC 2.0 accelerator, becoming its finalist and receiving investor support. And then the development won the Startup Fest 2025 competition, which was organized by RSUH.

    Project team:

    Saniya Islamova is the project manager, analyst-programmer, first-year master’s student of the Applied Informatics program at the Faculty of Physical, Mathematical and Natural Sciences of RUDN University. Mikhail Yatsenko is the head of research work, candidate of biological sciences, psychophysiologist, associate professor of the Department of General and Applied Psychology of Altai State University. Tatyana Ustimenko is the director of the Scientific and Production Complex of the Cognitive Science Center. Ivan Brak is a specialist in scientific communication, candidate of biological sciences, neurobiologist, senior lecturer of the Department of the Faculty of Physical, Mathematical and Natural Sciences of RUDN University. Doruk Meric is a programmer, first-year master’s student of the Applied Informatics program at the Faculty of Physical, Mathematical and Natural Sciences of RUDN University.

    The essence of development

    The CFS method involves exposing the body to light signals of different colors – red, blue, green (at the user’s choice) – with an optimal blinking frequency.

    Photostimulation helps to rebuild the functional state of the cerebral cortex into an optimal operating mode and activates Brodmann’s area 10, which in turn activates the prefrontal cortex. After all, it is the prefrontal cortex that is involved in providing such cognitive functions as planning, decision-making, awareness and establishment of logical connections between phenomena, theoretical positions, as well as in recalling memories from episodic memory.

    The mobile app developed by the team works in conjunction with VR glasses. The user puts on the glasses, turns on the app, selects the color that will affect him for 2-10 minutes (red, blue or green). And then simply watches the flickering, which looks like a circle, of the selected color.

    What are the advantages of development:

    low cost of 2,500 rubles for a course of therapy consisting of 10 sessions (traditional methods of therapy cost from 20 to 50 thousand rubles); easy to use with a minimum of equipment (smartphone with an installed application plus VR glasses); the effect is already there from the first session; • high safety of use in the absence of epilepsy, heart disease and recent retinal detachment or recent eye surgery; there are statistics, session history, expansion of options is planned; there is communication with the project team via a chat bot and a VK channel.

    A bit of history

    The idea for the project originated at Altai State University back in 2001 during a study of the influence of the level of brain activation on the effectiveness of mental performance.

    “University scientists have found that at a certain level of brain activation, the experiment participants demonstrated high levels of mental performance. As a result, an idea came up to “impose” this activity on the brain in order to improve its performance using the color photostimulation method. During the research, ordinary glasses with black opaque lenses were used, on the inside of which three LEDs were glued in the center – red, green and blue. The glasses, in turn, were connected by wire to a special unit with a liquid crystal screen. It allowed changing the frequency of flickering, brightness and color,” – Saniya Islamova, head of the “ActiMinds” project and a RUDN Master’s student (Applied Informatics, 1st year).

    However, it took 20 years before the idea was developed and tested on a wider audience. Only since 2023 have studies been conducted again on different groups of people – children, students, athletes. At the same time, the development of technology has made it possible to use a smartphone and the first version of a mobile application created by a programmer from Barnaul instead of a block with a screen. And glasses with LEDs have been replaced by VR glasses, which allow you to influence a person’s visual field and prevent him from being distracted from the process of color photostimulation, which significantly increases the effectiveness of therapy sessions.

    Proven effectiveness

    “From February 1 to May 25, 2024, 37 children aged 6 to 7 years voluntarily took part in the study of the method. The experimental group included 24 children, 5 of whom had characteristic signs of attention deficit disorder (ADD) and 6 more – signs of ADHD. The control group consisted of 13 children. Sessions with the color photostimulation method were held four times a week for 10 minutes before correctional and developmental classes in the classrooms. In total, each child completed 10 sessions. In the group of children with ADHD, the speed of completing teacher’s tasks increased by 15%, the number of errors decreased by 2.5 times, and overall productivity increased by 22.5%,” said Elena Abuzova, Director of the MBU DO “DOOTS “Harmony”.

    Expanding the team

    Saniya Islamova joined the project in September 2024 as an administrator, and soon began to manage it. When the team was joined by programmer Meric Doruk in early 2025, it became possible to modernize the application. In two months, Meric created a new version of the service from scratch, it was deployed on PythonAnyWhere hosting. And now the team is switching to the Express.js (backend), Next.js (frontend) frameworks in JavaScript and the PostgreSQL database management system in order to be able to block content to protect against piracy and plagiarism. In addition, unnecessary settings were removed from the service, but an algorithm for creating a personal account and verifying a user using a unique token was added. Investor’s choice With the modernized application, the team took part in the RUDN.VC 2.0 accelerator. The program lasted 70 days, and during this time, Sania and her colleagues held more than 130 meetings with mentor-trackers, attended 8 open lectures from market experts and improved their project. On May 30, at the demo day, Sania defended the team’s work to investors. One of them, the founder of the company “ABV” and ambassador of the “Academy of Innovators” Ivan Shumilov, selected “ActiMinds” for further cooperation. Here is how he assessed the project.

    “The development has potential. It is possible to quickly enter monetization through the “technology plus service” combination. However, we need even more measurements on people to demonstrate the result – before/after. To increase trust on the part of parents, specialists and partners, it is necessary to strengthen the scientific and expert base. Involving people with specialized education, publications, clinical and research experience in the team or expert council will become a strong support. Their conclusions will be able to support the evidence-based nature of the method. The application can also be adapted for other problems, not only ADHD, but also stress, anxiety, and adaptation difficulties. In this way, it will be possible to expand the product line,” – Ivan Shumilov, founder of the company “ABV” and ambassador of the “Academy of Innovators”.

    Best Startup

    After completing the accelerator, the ActiMinds team formulated a commercial proposal for cooperation with private psychologists and neuropsychologists, psychological centers, and also agreed with the RUDN University Faculty of Psychology on joint work from autumn 2025. With such results, the participants of the ActiMinds project applied for the Startup Fest 2025 competition, which was organized by RSUH.

    “In the beginning, there were no particular hopes for winning, since we had to create a website for the project and conduct a marketing campaign. Probably, setting up online advertising was the most difficult, since we were doing it for the first time. After that, we recorded a video with a story about “ActiMinds”, the conducted marketing campaign and its results, and sent an application to the competition. The jury watched the video, and eventually, the student organizers from RSUH wrote to us and invited us to the award ceremony in one of the nominations. And it turned out to be a victory in the main nomination. The victory gave a positive assessment to our project and our teamwork, which does not go in vain!” – Saniya Islamova, head of the “ActiMinds” project and a RUDN University Master’s student (Applied Informatics, 1st year).

    According to Saniya, the recommendations for further development of the project from the organizers and jury of the competition were very valuable. Mikhail Boldyrev, Director of the Center for Project Activities and Communication Technologies at the Russian State University for the Humanities, advised the team to create a website and social networks for the project. Post articles on the topic of ADHD on the portal, collect traffic, and initiate communication with potential users of the application and partners in social networks. Then gradually integrate your own product into the community through expert content. In addition, Mikhail Boldyrev recommended involving doctors in testing the application in order to promote the product through their reviews.

    New goals

    The team has taken the expert’s advice on board, so its immediate plans include creating social networks and a project website to educate and inform parents about the ADHD problem and their method. And also to organize joint work with the psychology departments of RUDN and Moscow State University on research and scientific articles in the new academic year, and to establish commercial cooperation with private neuropsychologists and psychological centers.

    “We also plan to launch our own mobile application for the Android platform, which will work together with VR glasses. In addition to the main function based on the photostimulation method, the service will offer psychological tests, analysis of the user’s speech segment before and after using the DFS method, support and online consultation with a psychologist. The application is planned to be placed on all available marketplaces,” says Saniya Islamova, head of the ActiMinds project and a RUDN University Master’s student (Applied Informatics, 1st year).

    In addition, the ActiMinds team wants to apply for the Student Startup competition from the Social Initiatives Fund and compete for a grant. And hopes for another victory.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: What business plans have RUDN economics students developed for Russian companies?

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Peoples’Friendship University of Russia –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    Analysis of target markets, conclusion of a contract with a sanction clause, development of logistics for deliveries to Latin American countries. These are just some of the points from the business plans prepared for Russian companies by students of the Faculty of Economics and the Law Institute of RUDN. But first things first.

    Through the sieve of selection

    At RUDN, students have the opportunity to study in a project-based master’s program. This model of education assumes that students unite in teams and jointly develop a project (their final qualification work) for real customers – they can be both domestic and foreign companies. The projects that will be discussed were prepared by students of the Faculty of Economics and the Law Institute of RUDN. The Moscow Export Center helps the university find customer companies for them.

    “After the selection, we introduce the students to each other and simultaneously send a request to colleagues at the Moscow Export Center asking them to involve Russian and foreign companies in the implementation of the projects. The MEC provides us with a list of interested enterprises with their brief description and the desired request: what product or service the company produces, where it wants to export them. We pass all this on to the students, after which teams are formed taking into account the students’ wishes. The master’s students begin working, and once a month we gather them to check what stage the projects are at. To help the students complete the assigned tasks, we conduct master classes from teachers and invited experts,” says Maria Maslova, a RUDN University graduate and head of the educational programs department of the educational and acceleration programs department of the ANO “MEC”.

    A fresh look at business

    In the spring, teams have a pre-defense of their projects in front of company representatives, where they receive feedback and learn about problematic areas that need to be corrected. The final defense of the diploma work is held according to the schedule of the state final certification.

    “Business is interested in a fresh look at promising markets for their products. Companies essentially order a “consulting study” from us. They want to enter certain markets where they are not yet represented. RUDN economics students analyze these markets, calculate the financial component, develop marketing strategies for entry and promotion, and draw a conclusion about the profitability of the project. And students of the Law Institute analyze the entire legal component of entering foreign markets, prepare a draft foreign trade contract, and analyze the specifics of the legal system of the selected country,” says Maria Maslova, a RUDN graduate and head of the educational programs department of the educational and acceleration programs department of the ANO “MEC”.

    Focus on Latin America

    One of the projects that RUDN University master’s students worked on last academic year concerned the entry of the Leber company into the Latin American market. It produces children’s playgrounds.

    “Our research revealed special features of the target markets, in particular, a high proportion of young people: children under 14 years old make up about 25-30% of the population. This indicates a huge potential for the company to enter the markets of these countries. In addition, an absolute plus for business development in the chosen direction is the established sea routes from the port of St. Petersburg to the ports of Latin American countries. However, there were obstacles here, because due to sanctions, there is a ban on the movement of Russian ships through the waters of unfriendly countries. To solve the problem, we suggested that Leber use the services of experienced forwarding companies based in the target markets,” Mekhriddin Nuraliyev, a graduate of the Faculty of Economics of RUDN University.

    According to Mehriddin, the most difficult part to develop was the financial part of the business plan. After all, without launching sales in the markets of Mexico, Brazil and Argentina, it is very difficult to forecast the profitability of the activity and calculate the income and expense estimate for 3-5 years ahead.

    “But we coped with this task and received high praise for our business plan from Leber representatives. The company praised the team’s professionalism and the depth of the research conducted,” says Mekhriddin Nuraliyev, a graduate of the RUDN University Faculty of Economics.

    Sanctions and the Middle East

    The second project was developed by RUDN students for the Mesoformula company, a Russian manufacturer of innovative products for aesthetic medicine and professional cosmetology. The company wants to enter the Saudi Arabian market.

    “We proposed the “corridor-2030” strategy – a consistent entry into the Saudi Arabian market through halal certification, registration with the SFDA and cooperation with a distributor in Jeddah. Together with my colleagues, we also thought out a financial model and built a legal and logistical “framework” for the project so that every figure and every condition worked in the same rhythm. At the same time, I managed to apply my skills as a lawyer, political scientist and GR specialist. I developed a protective sanction clause, assessed geopolitical risks and, having organized a consultative meeting with Saudi experts through the Moscow Chamber of Commerce and Industry, received prompt feedback. Thus, we significantly accelerated the negotiations and opened the necessary doors to the Middle East,” – Rodion Lobanovsky, a graduate of the RUDN Law Institute.

    Mesoformula has approved the students’ project, and its pilot launch is confirmed for 2026.

    “I am very glad that it was possible to implement cooperation between Russian companies and my home university. We worked together for almost a year, and are very pleased with the result. The resulting projects really contain many points that the companies paid attention to, including in terms of the specifics of interaction between Russian business and the selected markets. We hope for further cooperation,” – Maria Maslova, Head of the Educational Programs Department of the Educational and Acceleration Programs Department of ANO “MEC”.

    Thousands are sold in Moscow every year improvement projects in different urban areas: from courtyards andparks to the streets and areas near transport facilitiesSergei Sobyanin reported this in on your telegram channel.

    “This year, there are plans to put about 700 city streets in order, including three major outbound highways: Profsoyuznaya Street with 60th Anniversary of October Avenue,

    Volgogradsky Prospect with Marxistskaya Street and Shchelkovskoye Highway with Krasnoprudnaya and Bolshaya Cherkizovskaya Streets,” the Mayor of Moscow wrote.

    Source: Sergei Sobyanin’s Telegram channel @mos_sobyanin

    Shchyolkovskoye Highway is one of the largest outbound highways in Moscow, with about 570,000 city residents living nearby. It handles more than 22,000 vehicles per day. There are 51 public transport routes along the highway, with a daily passenger flow of 250,000 people.

    The comprehensive improvement of Shchelkovskoye Shosse, Krasnoprudnaya and Bolshaya Cherkizovskaya streets began in April 2025. Specialists are carrying out work on the section from Komsomolskaya Square to the Moscow Ring Road with a total length of 8.9 kilometers. The main objective is to make the urban environment more functional and comfortable for local residents, while maintaining the transport function of the highway.

    The implementation of the project will reduce the load on sections of Bolshaya Cherkizovskaya Street from Preobrazhensky Val Street to Khalturinskaya Street by seven percent, Shchyolkovskoye Highway from Montazhnaya Street to the exit to the Moscow High-Speed Diameter by 11 percent, Khalturinskaya Street from Otkrytoye Highway to Bolshaya Cherkizovskaya Street by six percent.

    Instead of outdated stops, specialists will install nine modern pavilions. Thanks to the infrastructure upgrade, as well as due to the adjustment of traffic lights and the provision of priority to city transport, its travel speed will increase by 17 percent.

    More than 720 benches and trash bins will be placed on the sidewalks and in other suitable places. 38 new information steles will help to find your way around. Shchyolkovskoye Highway will become lighter and safer in the evening and at night thanks to the replacement of 70 lanterns and more than 1.6 thousand old gas-discharge lamps with LED ones. At unregulated pedestrian crossings, specialists will install contrast lighting supports.

    By creating 123 thousand square meters of lawns and planting more than 700 large trees, Shchyolkovskoye Highway will become much greener. To add color to the autumn-winter landscape, four decorative compositions of coniferous plants will be created on the scenic sections of the highway.

    To improve the appearance of the highway, decorative cladding will appear near ventilation shafts and other engineering structures. Thanks to it, they will become attractive accents of the urban environment.

    The specialists will also replace the surface of about 150 thousand square meters of sidewalks and more than 450 thousand square meters of roads, remove overhead cable lines underground and install an additional drainage system.

    At the moment, 43 percent of the work has been completed. About 240 people and more than 70 units of equipment are involved.

    “We began the comprehensive improvement of Shchyolkovskoye Highway with Krasnoprudnaya and Bolshaya Cherkizovskaya Streets in April 2025. Large-scale, voluminous work is being carried out on the section from Komsomolskaya Square to the Moscow Ring Road. We plan to finish them this fall,” the Moscow Mayor wrote in

    LONDON, July 28 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Sunday that the two sides have reached a trade deal under which the United States will impose a basic 15 percent tariff on goods from the European Union.

    The statement was made at a joint press briefing on Sunday afternoon following talks at US President Donald Trump’s golf club in Turnberry, Scotland.

    Pharmaceuticals were excluded from the deal, while existing 50 percent tariffs on EU steel and aluminum exports to the United States will remain in place.

    While both leaders described the deal as a step toward restoring “trade balance” and promoting more equitable bilateral trade, the agreement allows the United States to impose broad 15 percent tariffs on EU goods while providing zero-tariff access to a range of strategic American exports. In return, the EU has committed to purchasing $750 billion in American energy and investing an additional $600 billion in the United States.

    At a press briefing, D. Trump said the agreement would allow American cars to re-enter the European market and make American agricultural exports more accessible to the EU. –0–

    BEIJING, July 27 (Xinhua) — China will adhere to a fair and impartial attitude, continue to maintain close communication with Cambodia and Thailand, actively promote reconciliation and negotiation, and play a constructive role in promoting a ceasefire, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Sunday.

    With international mediation, Cambodia and Thailand recently expressed their willingness to end hostilities, although clashes continue along the border between the two countries, according to media reports.

    Answering a question about China’s position on this situation, the official representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry drew attention to the fact that Cambodia and Thailand have always been and will be neighbors to each other, and at the same time, both countries are friends and neighbors of China.

    According to him, firmly adhering to the principle of good-neighborliness and mutual trust, as well as properly resolving differences, serve the fundamental and long-term interests of the two countries, as well as peace and stability in the region.

    The official said China was deeply saddened by the casualties on both sides and expressed its sincere condolences.

    As the diplomat pointed out, China hopes that both sides will proceed from the interests of the two peoples, cherish peace and good-neighborliness, maintain calm and restraint, reach a ceasefire at an early date, and peacefully resolve differences through dialogue and consultation, so as to restore peace and stability in the border areas at an early date.

    Noting that Cambodia and Thailand are important members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the spokesperson said ASEAN has been actively promoting a ceasefire between the two sides in recent days. China highly appreciates this and welcomes all efforts to help de-escalate the situation, he added. –0–

    JERUSALEM, July 27 (Xinhua) — The Israeli military on Sunday announced a daily 10-hour humanitarian pause in military operations in parts of the Gaza Strip and opened safe routes for aid, amid growing international pressure over a worsening food crisis in the Palestinian enclave.

    The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that its forces would suspend military operations in areas including al-Mawasi, Deir al-Balah and Gaza City from 10:00 to 20:00 local time /07:00-17:00 GMT/ each day until further notice.

    As specified, the designated safe corridors will be open daily from 06:00 to 23:00 /03:00-20:00 GMT/ to ensure unimpeded movement of UN convoys and humanitarian organizations that deliver and distribute food and medicine.

    The Israeli army announced on Saturday evening that it had resumed airdrops of food supplies to the Palestinian enclave to ease the humanitarian crisis.

    Since the start of the latest round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, 127 people, including 85 children, have died from hunger and malnutrition, the Gaza Strip’s health authority said on Saturday.

    LUOYANG, July 27 (Xinhua) — Just before noon on July 26, the square in front of the Dingdingmen Gate Museum in Luoyang, central China’s Henan Province, was filled with ancient sounds as participants of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Media and Think Tank Summit climbed the steps, immersing themselves in the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty’s bustling trade with other countries at the time.

    On this day, about a hundred Summit participants arrived in Luoyang to see with their own eyes the rich historical heritage and modern development dynamics of this city.

    Luoyang Mayor Zhang Yujie warmly welcomed the guests. “Luoyang is the cradle of Chinese civilization, the eastern starting point of the Silk Road, where the capitals of 13 dynasties were located at different times,” he said. “The city has witnessed brilliant pages of trade and cultural exchanges between the East and the West. Today, Luoyang is rapidly building a national innovation city and creating a bridgehead for opening up China’s inland regions to the outside world, actively integrating into the Belt and Road Initiative.”

    Zhang Yujie expressed hope for joint projects with the media of the SCO countries in the format of “Retracing the Silk Road” in order to tell the stories of ancient and modern Luoyang from new angles.

    Standing on the majestic tower of the Dingdingmen Gate, Tlesh Mamakhatov, a leading researcher at the Institute of China and Modern Asia of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ICSA RAS), admired the grandiose layout of the ancient capital.

    “Chinese culture is immensely deep. Confidence in one’s own civilization while respecting others is the key to the prosperity of ancient Chinese culture, economy and the flourishing of the Silk Road,” he stressed.

    Today, according to him, the SCO countries under this banner are following the path of mutual learning between civilizations and harmonious coexistence.

    Guests also visited the immersive project “Empress Wu’s Banquet”, going on a cultural journey through a thousand years to the Tang Dynasty. Based on the gastronomic traditions of the reign of Empress Wu Zetian, the project recreated the atmosphere of banquets – from table setting to dish design. Classic dishes of the Luoyang Banquet Menu / Shuixi / were accompanied by ancient music and dance. Participants, enjoying the delicacies, watched the performance of artists in Tang costumes. This feast was not only a gastronomic but also an aesthetic immersion into the majestic culture of the Tang Dynasty.

    In the “China YTO Group Intellectual Innovation Space”, guests were introduced to the development and production processes of intelligent agricultural machinery, learned about the export of the company’s products, and felt the pulse of modern Luoyang. Participants enthusiastically took pictures against the backdrop of large-sized tractors, giving high marks to premium-class equipment made in China.

    The program ended at the Longmen Grottoes and Temples, where guests experienced the unique charm of China’s largest open-air stone sculpture museum.

    “It is very interesting to visit the historical city of Luoyang and such special places where you can feel the spirit of China,” said Irina Akulovich, Director General of the Belarusian Telegraph Agency (BELTA), calling her sixth trip to China absolutely “amazing” and “unusual.”

    “I have never seen such sculptures and caves in my life!” I. Akulovich noted with admiration during her visit to this complex, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has a history of more than 1,500 years and represents the pinnacle of Chinese stone carving art. -0-

    KINSHASA, July 27 (Xinhua) — At least 43 civilians were killed in an attack on a church attributed to Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) rebels in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) on Saturday night, local sources said Sunday.

    According to local media, ADF fighters attacked a Catholic church in the early hours of July 27 in Komanda, Ituri province. Most of the victims, mostly believers, were preparing for Sunday mass when the attack occurred, a local civil society leader said. Several houses were burned, and an unknown number of people remain missing.

    According to eyewitnesses, the attackers also looted a local bank and other public property before fleeing into a nearby forest.

    Since early July, ADF rebels have stepped up their attacks in Ituri province. The UN Stabilization Mission in the DRC condemned recent ADF attacks in a statement earlier this week, which have killed at least 82 civilians in both Ituri and neighboring North Kivu province.

    The Allied Democratic Forces, considered an affiliate of the extremist group Islamic State in Central Africa, is a Ugandan rebel organization that operates in eastern DRC. Since November 2021, the DRC and Ugandan armed forces have been conducting joint operations against the ADF. –0–
