They are expected at the resettlement information center on Kronshtadtsky Boulevard, in building 27, block 1, from March 24. More than 550 residents of old five-story buildings located at the addresses: Onezhskaya Street, buildings 41 and 23, were offered equivalent housing in the new building opposite – in building 8a. They will begin a phased inspection of the new apartments on April 3 and 18, respectively.

  • MIL-OSI Economics: Phillips 66 Files Preliminary Proxy Statement for 2025 Annual Meeting

    Source: Phillips

    HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX) today announced that it has filed its preliminary proxy materials with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with its upcoming 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
    In today’s filing, the Phillips 66 Board of Directors:
    Announces the nomination of two new candidates bringing critical financial and operational capabilities to the Board:A. Nigel Hearne, a 35-year veteran of the energy industry with direct refining operations leadership, bringing deep downstream and integration expertise; and Howard I. Ungerleider, a highly strategic former President and Chief Financial Officer with extensive chemicals experience.
    Nominates John E. Lowe and Robert “Bob” W. Pease as directors:Lowe, a strategic leader with more than 40 years of leadership in midstream, refining and chemicals businesses; and Pease, a director identified in partnership with Elliott Investment Management (“Elliott”), whose expertise in refining operations strengthens the Board’s oversight of efficiency improvements and strategic execution.
    Announces it again intends to seek shareholder approval of a management proposal to approve the declassification of the Boardat the 2025 Annual Meeting, a proposal that the Company has previously put forth five times over the past decade.
    Reiterates unanimous support for the Company’s strategyto drive compelling, consistent returns for shareholders through operational excellence and effective allocation of capital across a leading integrated downstream business with a differentiated portfolio in highly attractive markets.
    Unanimously recommends that shareholders use the WHITE proxy card or the WHITE voting instruction form to vote FOR only the four nominees recommended by the Board, and AGAINST Elliott’s proposal to approve, on an advisory basis, that the Board adopt a policy to implement the required annual resignation of all directors, and as the Board recommends on all other proposals.
    Glenn F. Tilton, the Board’s lead independent director, said, “As a board, we regularly evaluate all ideas that may maximize shareholder value and have a proven history of acting decisively on value enhancing opportunities when it is in the best interests of our shareholders. Our priority is ensuring we have the right mix of skills so that we are best positioned to oversee the Company’s strategy and to deliver consistent and long-term value for our shareholders. The Board encourages new perspectives, welcomes debate and regularly engages with shareholders to solicit their feedback.”
    Tilton continued, “After careful consideration of Elliott’s nominees and several conversations with Elliott’s representatives over multiple years, we have determined that the dissident nominees do not possess skills or experiences not represented on the Board already or that would directly drive further shareholder value creation. Further, Elliott’s inconsistent approach and evolving demands would introduce undue risk by prioritizing uncertain short-term gains over a disciplined, long-term strategy. The Board reiterates its commitment to rigorously evaluating the portfolio and strategic alternatives to maximize long-term shareholder value while avoiding decisions driven by short-term market fluctuations and speculative valuations.”
    Phillips 66 Nominates Proven Leaders Who Strengthen Highly Engaged Board
    Over the past four years, Phillips 66 has welcomed five new independent directors to the Board, including two in 2024. Today, Phillips 66 is nominating four director candidates, including two new nominees:
    A. Nigel Hearne: With more than 35 years of experience in the energy industry, including extensive international upstream and downstream operating experience, he is a proven leader who will provide extremely valuable insights in overseeing Phillips 66’s execution of its strategic priorities. Hearne is currently the Chief Operating Officer of Harbour Energy and was recently Executive Vice President of Oil, Products & Gas at Chevron Corporation where he oversaw the entire value chain and was responsible for maximizing value from their global integrated model. He began his career in downstream operations, overseeing refineries in the United States and globally.
    Howard I. Ungerleider: An experienced public company board member, Ungerleider is a highly strategic former President and Chief Financial Officer with deep insight into the chemicals business. He served in leadership roles at Dow for more than 30 years and managed the financial complexities of the historic merge-and-spin of DowDuPont, an $86 billion holding company comprised of The Dow Chemical Company and DuPont, from September 2017 to April 2019. His financial expertise and broader leadership through strategic transformations will be a meaningful addition to the Board and its oversight of the Company’s strategy.
    John E. Lowe: As a respected strategic leader in the energy industry, he brings extensive expertise from an over 40-year career with leadership positions across midstream, refining, upstream and chemicals businesses. Through his various roles as an executive, strategic advisor and board member for upstream, midstream and downstream energy companies, he provides valuable insights into strategic, operational and regulatory considerations for Phillips 66’s strategic transformation and overall strategy.
    Robert W. Pease:Through his 38-year career in the energy industry, he has held numerous leadership roles, particularly in downstream businesses. He brings deep refinery operations experience to the Board, which bolsters the Board’s ability to oversee the Company’s focus on optimizing the cost structure and operational efficiency of its refining assets, along with valuable perspectives on shifting market demand and through-cycle positioning which are important for the Company to set its long-term strategy.
    “The addition of Nigel and Howard will add fresh insights from proven global leaders who not only have direct experience in our industry – they notably bring unique perspectives from their careers that are highly relevant to our position in the industry and our long-term strategy,” said Tilton. “Together, Nigel, Howard, Bob and John represent a unique set of skills and experiences. Nigel and Howard’s skills will complement those of our existing directors and can challenge our strategy and represent what is best for our shareholders,” Tilton added.
    Tilton concluded, “Our transformative strategy is in its early stages, and we are confident we have the right chief executive officer, leadership team and strategic plan in place to continue delivering sustainable value creation, as noted last year by one of our largest shareholders, Elliott Management. The Board takes a highly engaged approach to overseeing the Company’s strategy that involves thoughtfully reviewing operations and challenging management to further maximize long-term shareholder value.”
    Phillips 66’s Board of Directors is Committed to Declassification
    At the 2025 Annual Meeting, Phillips 66 is seeking shareholder approval of a proposal to approve the declassification of the Board by amending the Company’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws, as it has done five times before over the past decade. The Board continues to believe it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to properly declassify the Board. Elliott is seeking shareholder approval of a request for the Board to adopt a policy to implement a required annual resignation of all directors. Elliott’s proposal is merely a distraction and contravenes several elements of the Company’s organizational documents, in violation of well-established principles of Delaware corporate law.
    The Board strongly urges shareholders who wish to properly declassify the Board in accordance with the Company’s governing documents to vote AGAINST Elliott’s proposal and in support of management’s proposal.
    Elliott’s Proxy Fight
    As stated in the March 5 public letter to shareholders, Phillips 66 has sought to engage with Elliott since 2023 to hear its ideas and work constructively toward a shared goal of long-term value creation.
    This constructive dialogue led to the addition of Bob Pease to the Board with Elliott stating: “We (Elliott) have worked collaboratively with Phillips 66 on the Board’s appointment of Bob, who will bring extensive experience in refining and the energy industry more broadly.”
    However, attempts to reach agreement on adding another mutually agreed director have been met with challenges.
    Following a period of silence, Elliott issued a series of public attacks on the Board and management team and, for the first time in its discussions with Phillips 66, proposed the idea of a separation. Phillips 66 sought to re-engage Elliott in constructive dialogue to find a path forward that would benefit all shareholders.
    At the latest meeting, Elliott representatives indicated there were no immediate next steps and opted not to present their nominees for interviews at that time, despite the Board’s willingness to engage. The Board and leadership team of Phillips 66 stand ready to engage constructively when Elliott is ready.
    In the coming weeks, Phillips 66 will provide more information about its highly qualified board candidates, its strong management team and its proven strategy to create long-term shareholder value. The Company will also provide details regarding how Elliott’s nominees and its proposed changes at Phillips 66 present significant risks to shareholder value.
    Keeping Our Shareholders Informed
    Phillips 66’s definitive proxy materials will soon be mailed out to shareholders and will include a WHITE proxy card or a WHITE voting instruction form with voting instructions. Your vote for all four Phillips 66 nominees on the WHITE proxy card or WHITE voting instruction form will be critical. Shareholders and other stakeholders can stay informed about the 2025 Annual Meeting and related updates by visiting: Phillips66Delivers.com.
    Phillips 66 strongly urges shareholders to simply discard and NOT vote using any Gold proxy card or Gold voting instruction form that may be sent by Elliott.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: The Academic Council of the State University of Management discussed the development strategy and the future of education

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

    On March 25, 2025, the next meeting of the Academic Council of the State University of Management was held.

    Traditionally, we started with the congratulatory part. Rector Vladimir Stroyev presented letters of gratitude from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education for their contribution to the development of practice-oriented education, the development of the federation within the framework of the “Service Learning” program to Vice-Rector Dmitry Bryukhanov and Associate Professor of the Department of Management in International Business and Tourism Industry Svetlana Grishaeva.

    Vladimir Vitalyevich also congratulated the birthday boys of the month and thanked Elena Shtyreva, an employee of the Institute of Distance Education of the State University of Management, for 55 years of continuous work at the State University of Management.

    “I also want to join in the congratulations and say “thank you” on behalf of all the institute’s employees for their daily work and contribution to the development of the institute. I know where she gets this character from, her grandfather was the deputy commander of Vasily Chapaev’s division,” Sergei Lenshin, director of the Fine Arts Department of the State University of Management, congratulated Elena Arkadyevna.

    After the completion of the formal part, those gathered moved on to considering the issues on the agenda.

    Deputy Director of the Department of Academic Policy and Implementation of Educational Programs Olga Zhuravleva presented a summary report on the self-assessment of the main areas of the university’s activities for 2024.

    “For the first time, we worked on the report together with the Center for Prospective Development, which allowed us to better present the overall picture. The indicators have mostly increased and are impressive. The University is successfully developing in most indicators. However, there are also growth points and challenges of modern society that we need to work with more actively,” Olga Zhuravleva noted.

    Director of the Center for Prospective Development Tatyana Gordeeva spoke about the results of the implementation of the State University of Management Development Program for 2024.

    “2024 has become a fundamental year in the formation of the organizational foundations of the development program. At the same time, today we are already working on its implementation in the context of the emerging new system of higher education. What it will be like is still unknown, but we must keep this in mind. In addition, there are risks of reducing off-budget admission to humanitarian programs, which are key for the State University of Management today. Therefore, today it is important to focus on the effective implementation of the development tasks that we have defined for ourselves in order to form the necessary reserve for participation in new national projects and the implementation of our ambitious goals,” Tatyana Gordeeva emphasized.

    Vladimir Stroev noted the importance of not only taking into account indicators in areas, but also making proposals for their improvement, which he expects from every employee.

    “The issue of the development program is not simple, it is connected with many indicators that are used in different systems and different issues. And all our reports must be treated responsibly, not only noting positive results, but also expressing criticism in case of their failure. These data are a reason to think about what we are doing now and what will happen to us tomorrow. It would be good not just to fulfill the indicators, but also to exceed them, or be close to this,” concluded Vladimir Vitalyevich.

    Director of the Institute of Economics and Finance Galina Sorokina reported on the results of the institute’s work for 2024.

    “The institute has shown growth in almost all areas, so it is especially pleasant to make a report. The number of not only admitted students has grown, but also those who transferred from other universities. The number of foreign students has also grown, with Vietnamese students predominating. The number of educational programs implemented by the institute is also growing. A program on behavioral economics is being developed, which will be carried out jointly with the Central Bank and Rosfinmonitoring,” Galina Petrovna noted.

    Vice-Rector Pavel Pavlovsky informed those gathered about the implementation of the Youth Policy Strategy at the State University of Management.

    “The State University of Management is undoubtedly one of the leading universities in the implementation of youth policy. We became the first university in Moscow for educational work, and in Russia we took 3rd place among universities with a population of 5 to 10 thousand people. In 2024, 47 federal projects were held on the basis of the State University of Management. This year, we initiated the All-Russian student competition “Family History. Immortal Memory”, expanded the geography of the All-Russian project “Course for Business and Entrepreneurship” that we are implementing, which will be held not only in the International Children’s Center “Artek” and the All-Russian Children’s Center “Ocean”, but also in the All-Russian Children’s Centers “Smena” and “Orlyonok”. And, of course, the All-Russian KVN School, “University Shifts” and other important events await us,” Pavel Vladimirovich shared.

    Vice-Rector Dmitry Bryukhanov proposed creating a Preparatory Department for Foreign Citizens, which was unanimously supported by the council members.

    At the end of the meeting, Vladimir Stroyev called on those gathered to prepare not only for the 2025 admissions campaign, but also to think about admissions in 2026 and make their proposals.

    “This year, the admission campaign is still under the old system, but next year a new model will be adopted, and we must be ready. It is time to prepare proposals for our areas in a given situation, including in the event of a stressful situation. We must have specific solutions for each issue,” the rector of the State University of Management concluded.

    In addition, the meeting discussed the nomination of GUU employees to participate in the All-Russian competition “Golden Names of Higher Education”, approval of new DPO programs, tuition fees and other work issues.

  • MIL-OSI Europe: Answer to a written question – Potential security risks and geopolitical implications of the Iran-Venezuela alliance for the EU – E-000309/2025(ASW)

    Source: European Parliament

    The High Representative/Vice-President (HR/VP) is aware that Venezuela cooperates with Russia on defence matters, conducting joint military exercises and receiving military training.

    Iran has maintained oil deals with Caracas in order to circumvent sanctions and obtain financial resources. The EU monitors those developments closely.

    The rapprochement between Caracas, Moscow and Tehran is of concern due to potential impact on democratic stability in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region and on the EU-LAC partnership.

    As the HR/VP said at the Munich Security Conference[1], the EU has to keep united and work with allies, including the United States, to counter the attempts of Russia, Iran and others to team up against the EU.

    For this reason, it is crucial to continue supporting the democratic aspirations of the Venezuelan people, to promote an enabling environment for civil society and to uphold human rights.

    Working together with key international and regional partners is essential to foster a Venezuelan-led democratic resolution to the crisis.

    In doing so, the EU will pursue targeted engagement to address concerns and facilitate meaningful dialogue on human rights and the transition to democracy.

    The EU will continue to protect shared values and mutual interests in Latin America. The EU has mobilised all its foreign policy instruments to foster democracy in Venezuela, including targeted sanctions against those responsible for undermining democracy, the rule of law and human rights, and by putting in place an embargo on arms and equipment used for repression.

  • MIL-OSI Europe: Written question – Increasing customs duties on products imported from Russia and the impact on the agricultural sector in the EU – P-001208/2025

    Source: European Parliament

    Priority question for written answer  P-001208/2025
    to the Commission
    Rule 144
    Inese Vaidere (PPE)

    Since 2022, when Russia started its full-scale invasion and brutal war of aggression against Ukraine, the EU has implemented multiple rounds of sanctions and increased trade tariffs to reduce trade with the aggressor. However, there are still Russian products flowing into the EU market, including fertilisers, consequently fuelling the Russian war machine.

    Due to significantly lower production costs, Russian fertiliser producers continue to undercut the prices of producers in the EU and other countries. This has resulted in a worrisome dependency on cheap Russian fertilisers, posing a significant risk to food security in the EU as agricultural production is dependent on an unpredictable aggressor.

    In this context, I ask the Commission:

    • 1.The implementation of the proposed regulation on the modification of customs duties on imports of certain goods from Russia and Belarus[1] will reduce the importation of fertiliser products from Russia. However, there are concerns it may potentially lead to increased fertiliser prices in the EU, directly impacting farmers. What action will the Commission take to mitigate any damage to farmers in the EU?
    • 2.As Russia continues to wage its brutal war of aggression in Ukraine, is the Commission planning on expanding the scope of measures and increasing import tariffs for more categories of products (e.g. other types of fertiliser, or fishery products)?

    Submitted: 21.3.2025

    • [1] Commission proposal of 28 January 2025 for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the modification of customs duties applicable to imports of certain goods originating in or exported directly or indirectly from the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus (COM(2025)0034).

    B. whereas the transition to a decarbonised economy and a clean energy system must lead to reducing energy prices and must take into account all available technologies that contribute to reaching the EU’s net zero goal for 2050 in the most cost-efficient way, avoiding lock-in effects and taking into account the different energy mix across Member States, including with regard to renewables and nuclear;

    C. whereas electrification is at the centre of the decarbonisation of EIIs; whereas EIIs include sectors that use fossil resources to meet temperature, pressure or reaction requirements, such as chemicals, steel, paper, plastics, mining, refineries, cement, lime, non-ferrous metals, glass, ceramics and fertilisers, for which greenhouse gas emissions are hard to reduce because they are intrinsic to the process or because of high capital or operating expenditure costs or low technological maturity;

    D. whereas the energy price gap between the EU and the US and China undermines the competitiveness of the EU’s industries; whereas elevated and volatile fossil fuel prices heavily affect electricity prices and the affordable cost of renewable energy sources is not transferred to energy bills;

    E. whereas an insufficiently integrated energy union poses further challenges to EIIs, in particular in relation to the lack of cross-border interconnections and the limited availability of clean energy, owing to lengthy permitting procedures or high capital or operating expenditures, as well as grid congestion;

    F. whereas the emissions trading system (ETS) provided long-term investment signals and helped bring down the emissions of ETS sectors by 47 %; whereas the energy market has profoundly changed since the introduction of the ETS, especially after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the shift from pipeline gas to liquid natural gas (LNG); whereas a lack of carbon market transparency risks hampering EIIs’ competitiveness; whereas ETS revenues are used unevenly across Member States, failing to adequately support EIIs’ decarbonisation;

    G. whereas unnecessary regulatory burdens and lengthy permitting procedures undermine the business case for investing in decarbonisation in Europe; whereas the concept of overriding public interest is provided for in EU legislation; whereas complex and fragmented EU funding impedes timely investment in net-zero technologies and digitalisation, in particular for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs);

    H. whereas the lack of necessary private investment risks hindering EIIs’ decarbonisation; whereas relying excessively on State aid can have the unwanted consequences of exacerbating disparities and distorting competition across the EU;

    I. whereas the EU’s dependencies and limited access, both in quantity and quality, to primary and secondary raw materials pose significant challenges to EIIs; whereas circularity and efficiency can help reduce the annual investment needs in industry and in energy supply; whereas currently, ferrous metals exported to non-EU countries account for more than half of all EU waste exports, raising concerns about their sound treatment;

    J. whereas unfair competition from non-EU countries, including subsidised overcapacity, poses a great challenge to EU companies; whereas many regions around the world do not currently have ambitious decarbonisation targets, thus increasing the risk of carbon leakage;

    K. whereas a profound transformation of EIIs cannot succeed without the involvement of local and regional communities, workers and social partners, which are heavily affected by the transition;

    1. Reiterates its commitment to the EU’s decarbonisation objectives and to stable and predictable climate and industrial policies;

    2. Calls on the Member States to accelerate permitting and licensing processes for clean energy projects, ensuring administrative capacity, and to facilitate grid connections to enable clean, on-site energy generation, especially in remote areas; stresses that the growth of renewables and electrification will require massive investment in grids and in flexibility, storage and distribution networks; calls on the Commission to develop, beyond the concept of overriding public interest, solutions for speeding up decarbonisation projects;

    3. Believes that further action is needed to implement the electricity market design (EMD) rules, especially to promote power purchase agreements (PPAs) and two-way contracts for difference (CfDs) to reduce volatility and energy costs for EIIs; calls on the Commission to propose urgent measures to address current barriers to the signing of long-term agreements, especially for SMEs, using risk reduction instruments and guarantees, including public guarantee such as by the European Investment Bank (EIB); suggests that additional ways to decouple fossil fuel prices from electricity prices be explored, in the framework of the EMD, including with the aim of boosting long-term contracts in line with the affordable energy action plan, and by advancing the analysis of short-term markets to 2025;

    4. Calls on the Commission to assess the possibility of scaling up best practice for EIIs from Member States, such as Italy’s energy release; calls on the Commission to develop recommendations for reducing the exposure of consumers, and especially EIIs, to rising energy costs, such as by reducing taxes and levies and harmonising network charges, while ensuring public investment in grids;

    5. Calls for the enhancement of energy system integration, in particular in relation to cross-border interconnections, to ensure clean and resilient energy supply; asks for increased investment in flexibility, such as storage, including pumped storage hydropower and heat and waste heat storage, and demand response, to optimise grid stability; recalls the importance of energy efficiency in bringing costs down;

    6. Underlines the need to phase out natural gas as soon as possible; stresses that some sectors cannot rely substantially on electrification in the short to medium term; calls on the Member States – over the same time span and for these limited sectors – to develop measures to address gas price spikes in duly justified cases; calls on the Commission to develop tools to ensure gas supply at a mitigated cost, by enabling demand aggregation, building on AggregateEU, and joint gas purchasing, while keeping decarbonisation objectives; highlights the importance of encouraging stable contracts with gas suppliers, diversifying supply routes and improving market transparency and stability, in line with current legislation; calls for an impact assessment in the upcoming ETS review to analyse the relationship between the gas market and CO2 prices and the role of the market stability reserve and its parameters;

    7. Calls on the Commission to support EIIs in adopting clean and net-zero technologies, including hydrogen, and energy-efficient production methods by strengthening funding mechanisms and ensuring that ETS revenue is used effectively by Member States; calls for EU-level support to be complemented by State aid that allows for targeted support to EIIs, while preserving a level playing field within the single market;

    8. Calls for InvestEU to be topped up before the next multiannual financial framework (MFF) and for leftover Resilience and Recovery Facility loans to support investment in EII decarbonisation; notes that the Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform already allows for flexibility within current programmes but that this is insufficient; insists that the upcoming MFF increase funding to support EIIs, building on the Innovation Fund and the Connecting Europe Facility – Energy or through the competitiveness fund; stresses that the European Hydrogen Bank and the carbon contracts for difference programme need to be scaled up; calls on the Commission to build on the Net-Zero Industry Act[1] in the upcoming decarbonisation accelerator act, to streamline the processes for granting permits and strategic project status;

    9. Stresses the need to simplify bureaucratic procedures to enhance the attractiveness of private investment and support EIIs’ transition; believes that both InvestEU and the EIB are pivotal in catalysing private financing, especially through de-risking measures;

    10. Emphasises the need to secure access to critical raw materials; stresses that the upcoming circular economy act should improve resource efficiency, including through better waste management of products containing critical raw materials, as well as fostering the demand and availability of secondary raw materials; stresses the need to define those secondary raw materials that are strategic and that should be subject to export monitoring, such as steel and metal scrap, and to tackle any imbalance in their supply and demand, including by exploring export restrictions; insists on the effective enforcement of the Waste Shipment Regulation[2];

    11. Calls on the Commission to make full and efficient use of trade defence instruments; calls on the Commission to find a permanent solution to address unfair competition and structural overcapacity, before the expiry of current steel safeguard measures in 2026; calls on the Commission to engage with the US in relation to the announced tariffs on EU imports and avoid any harmful escalation;

    12. Stresses that an effective implementation of the carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) is essential to ensure a level playing field for EU industries and prevent carbon leakage, taking into account the impact of the parallel phasing out of the ETS free allowances and the risk of increased production costs; calls on the Commission to address the risks of resource shuffling and circumvention of the CBAM; asks, furthermore, for the implementation of an effective solution for EU exporters and an analysis of the possible extension to further sectors and downstream products, preceded by an impact assessment;

    13. Calls for the creation of lead markets for clean and circular European products, via non-price criteria in EU public procurement, such as sustainability and resilience and a European preference for strategic sectors, as well as by creating voluntary labelling schemes and minimum EU content requirements in a cost-effective way;

    14. Highlights the importance of a just transition to assist areas heavily reliant on EIIs, by keeping and creating quality jobs through upskilling and reskilling programmes for workers and through the effective use of regional support mechanisms, such as the Just Transition Fund and the Cohesion Fund; stresses that public support will be pivotal for the transition of EIIs and that this support should be tied to their commitment to safeguarding employment and working conditions and preventing off-shoring; welcomes the Union of Skills initiative to ensure a good match between skills and labour market demands;

    15. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission, the Council and the governments and parliaments of the Member States.

    At the end of March, more than 200 people gathered at the student council forum, the largest and most significant event for all activists of the student self-government of SPbPU dormitories. The event was held in the Student Club. The forum was organized by United Student Council of SPbPU Dormitories.

    The forum is not just an event within the walls of the Polytechnic University, it is a platform that has been uniting hundreds of people, dozens of student councils of dormitories and several universities for the fourth year. The forum is aimed at improving the quality of the results of our self-government, interaction and exchange of experience, increasing legal literacy, as well as creating connections between members of our organization, – noted the chairman of the United Student Council of the Polytechnic Dormitories Thomas Shochenmayer.

    This year the event was held on four tracks.

    Track one was a student council competition, where teams demonstrated their experience in self-government and developed competencies.

    Track two is a competition for class leaders, in which the students presented their projects to improve the quality of life of students in dormitories.

    Track three is the SPbPU OSS award. Its goal is to stimulate the work of student councils, identify and encourage best practices in 11 nominations (Leisure, Comfort, Adaptation, Rights, Self-realization, Health, Ecology, Safety, Work with foreign students, Information work, Corporate culture).

    Track 4 – “Lead with your heart”. A track aimed at improving the communication skills of potential leaders to improve their effectiveness in interacting with administrative bodies and other student organizations, as well as providing participants with effective tools for managing in dormitories.

    The training covered the most relevant topics for activists.

    “Values and motivation” (Anna Kalugina, director of the psychological support center “Tochka Opory”). “Teamwork and healthy communication” (Angelina Kulanova, acting director of the Student Club). “Grants without panic, or how to win from A to Z” (Maxim Ruzakov, head of the cultural and mass department of the OSS). “The art of negotiations” (Thomas Shochenmayer, chairman of the OSS SPbPU).

    The guys learned about team building, values and motivation for their activities. In practice, they solved cases, learned to negotiate, and also experienced the entire life cycle of the Dormitory Council.

    The forum has become larger. More strong teams, real leaders have appeared. It is now much more difficult to determine the best. New nominations have been added. The interest from universities in St. Petersburg and other cities has grown, – said Galina Melekhova, Deputy Director of the SPbPU Student City for Educational Work.

    The event was attended by over 30 guests from other universities: SPbGLTU, NovSU, SPSU and VShTE. They took part in the training track, and the chairmen of the student councils of the Mining University and the Higher School of Technology and Energy became experts of the competition.

    Director of the SPbPU Student City Vyacheslav Olshevsky emphasized: From year to year, the level of the forum is noticeably growing, gaining momentum, being brighter, more powerful, stronger. The guys get the necessary skills, pump up their competencies in various areas, especially in student self-government.

    All teams tried very hard to win, their performances were very bright, memorable. The jury had a difficult task: to determine the best among the best.

    Winners of the student council competition.

    1st place – hostel #3 2nd place – hostel #19 3rd place – hostel #6

    The team of foreign students from Dormitory No. 13 has been an active participant in the forum for the second year. Their projects were recognized as the best in three award nominations at once. The other winners were the teams from Dormitories No. 6 and No. 16.

    Svetlana Bakhtina from dormitory #6 won the competition among the seniors. Felix Zhumaliev from dormitory #11 came in second, and Karina Mokerova from dormitory #5 came in third.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Schoolchildren solved real engineering problems at the Polytechnic Olympiad

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

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

    The final stage of the Polytechnic Olympiad took place on March 23. On this day, more than one hundred schoolchildren took part in the in-person round, which took place simultaneously at three educational sites – at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, at the AMTEK Lyceum (Cherepovets), and at the specialized educational and scientific center of the North Caucasus Federal University (Stavropol).

    The Polytechnic Olympiad has been held since 2010. Over the years, it has become a platform for testing the knowledge and skills of thousands of students in subjects such as mathematics, chemistry, physics and computer science. The Olympiad has long established itself as one of the main competitions among high school students seeking to connect their lives with technical professions. However, in 2025, the concept of the event underwent significant changes. Polytechnic, being one of the leading engineering universities in the country, decided to focus on engineering sciences. This is due to the desire to prepare future engineers to solve real production problems that they will face after graduation.

    At the selection stage, the participants received an unusual task – they had to pass an interview at PolyTechCorp. To get to the final, the guys had to demonstrate knowledge in various areas of modern engineering. They researched the properties of complex materials, studied the features of modern alloys and composite materials, understood the operation of circuits and circuits, analyzed their characteristics and looked for optimal solutions. One of the tasks was the design of mechanisms and calculation of motion trajectories, which allowed the participants to immerse themselves in the real atmosphere of an engineer’s work.

    The finalists have already become part of a large engineering team, where they faced specific tasks similar to those that real engineers solve when creating and manufacturing products. One of the key tasks was to detect errors in the interns’ drawings. This allowed them not only to test their theoretical knowledge, but also to develop practical skills in analyzing and finding solutions under limited time.

    The tasks of the final stage tested not only the level of theoretical preparation of schoolchildren, but also the ability to apply the acquired knowledge in practice. That is why the organizers allowed the participants to use any available sources of information, which made the competition even closer to real engineering activities.

    The Olympiad tasks seemed difficult but interesting to me. It was exciting to try myself in the role of a real engineer and take part in the production stages. Thanks to this experience, I feel more confident in technical disciplines and understand where I want to move on, – shared his impressions a participant in the final stage.

    The results of the Olympiad will be known in April. The winners and prize winners will be invited to a ceremonial award ceremony, where they will receive gifts and diplomas. A prize place in the Olympiad allows schoolchildren to receive 10 additional points when entering the Polytechnic University, which significantly increases the chances of successful enrollment.

    We are glad to see how the children show interest in engineering. Our goal is to create conditions in which schoolchildren can apply their knowledge in practice and feel like real professionals. It is important that the Olympiad tasks are based on real engineering problems that students will face in the future. Such events help to form a new generation of engineers ready for the challenges of the modern world, – noted the organizer of the Polytechnic Olympiad Evgeniya Lyzlova.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Scientists from the National Research University Higher School of Economics – Saint Petersburg will begin to teach artificial intelligence emotions

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    In 2025, the Natural Language Laboratory of the National Research University Higher School of Economics — St. Petersburg, under the leadership of Dmitry Ryumin, a candidate of technical sciences, will develop technologies that will allow AI not only to understand words, but also to recognize emotions, gestures, and personal characteristics of a person. Initially, the department focused exclusively on the analysis of text data. However, according to Dmitry Ryumin, now only one modality is of little interest to anyone. “Look at the current developments — everyone wants to record something with their voice, and upload a picture, and analyze a video, and work with text,” the scientist comments.

    Dmitry Ryumin came to the HSE in St. Petersburg from the St. Petersburg Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, where he holds the position of senior research fellow at the Laboratory of Speech and Multimodal Interfaces. “I was invited for the SP4 project (strategic projects), and then offered to head the Natural Language Laboratory. Today, ten people work in the laboratory – from undergraduate students to candidates of science. I would like to expand the team to 20-30 people, so that the laboratory could be divided into related groups. For example, one group deals with avatars, another – with emotions, and then they can be combined to create emotional avatars,” the head shares his plans.

    Why do neural networks need emotions?

    Under the leadership of Dmitry Ryumin, the HSE-St. Petersburg laboratory will focus on several promising areas related to multimodal technologies.

    “Imagine a system that simultaneously analyzes a person’s voice, facial expressions, and gestures. Assessing a person’s personal qualities and recognizing emotions can be useful, for example, when hiring,” the scientist explains. The technology allows determining how well a job seeker fits the job. “We record an interview with a candidate and analyze not only the content of the answers, but also how they speak, what emotions they show, how they gesture. This gives a more complete picture of a person. For example, openness, sociability, and resistance to stress are important for a manager. The system can analyze whether a candidate’s voice trembles, how clearly they express their thoughts, and provide a description to help HR in recruiting personnel,” comments Dmitry Ryumin.

    Another promising area is personalized advertising. The neural network will be able to evaluate the user’s emotional state and tailor contextual ads to him. If he is sad, it will show one type of content, if he is happy, another.

    Emotional avatar technologies will find application in virtual spaces and conferences. “Last year, large international conferences created virtual spaces where participants who could not come physically entered virtual rooms through their avatars. If these avatars are made more emotional, with realistic facial expressions and gestures, the interaction experience will be much better,” the scientist notes. There is also an entertainment direction – movement transfer. “Imagine: I upload a short video in which I am simply in a room and make ordinary movements. The system analyzes and creates a digital model of me. Then I upload another video, where, for example, a professional dancer performs a break dance. The technology replaces the dancer with me, and the result is a realistic video where I masterfully dance a break dance. Similar technologies are actively developing around the world. Large research centers and companies offer various approaches to solving this problem,” explains Dmitry Ryumin.

    There is potential for using multimodal artificial intelligence in the field of psychological support. “We can try to recognize not only short-term emotions, but also long-term conditions, such as anxiety disorders, emotional burnout, or cognitive impairment. Of course, there are ethical issues and problems with obtaining data for training systems, but the direction is very promising,” says Dmitry Ryumin.

    Another area of development is voice assistants for smart homes. According to the scientist, bimodal recognition is most relevant in this case, since many people would prefer to maintain the privacy of their living space and would not want to connect cameras. “The analysis will be carried out mainly based on speech, which we can convert into text. This approach allows us to work with two modalities simultaneously. I have several voice assistants installed at home. And I regularly encounter a problem: the system does not always correctly interpret speech commands. Sometimes, in one minute, the assistant can change its “mood” or manner of response several times, which, frankly speaking, is irritating,” the head of the laboratory summarizes.

    The task of researchers who train large language and generative models is to make the decision-making process of a neural network transparent. According to the head of the laboratory, explainable artificial intelligence is a direction that has been actively developing in recent years.

    By receiving a decoding of the model’s “train of thought”, any professional can critically evaluate the result obtained: agree with something, question something. This creates an opportunity for feedback and objectivity in decision-making.

    How to teach a neural network to recognize emotions?

    Modern research into multimodal models requires powerful technology, cross-disciplinary specialists and large amounts of data.

    Computing base. Dmitry Ryumin has been working with neural networks for more than eight years. According to him, the main emphasis used to be on RAM and the processor, but today the central role is played by graphic accelerators (GPU). The power and number of available video cards directly determine the speed of training neural network models, the number of possible experiments and the volume of processed data.

    “Therefore, it is important not only to conduct research, but also to develop the computing base. For example, supercomputer of the Higher School of Economics we see how these resources affect the quality of scientific experiments. It is especially valuable to involve students, starting from the undergraduate level, in working with such systems — to teach them how to interact with high-performance computing clusters, to give them the opportunity to train models of varying complexity. This creates a continuous educational chain: students who have mastered working with advanced equipment can subsequently be involved in research work in laboratories.”

    Working with databases. Teaching large language models to recognize and reproduce emotions is a complex, multi-stage process. And neural networks are now taking part in it. For example, open AIs help automate data collection and annotation: they quickly collect texts with a given emotional coloring. “This radically reduces labor costs compared to traditional manual tagging, when you had to hire people for painstaking work. A general trend is noticeable: many research teams are trying to adapt models to work with emotions. Despite the fact that such attempts are not yet ideal and the models continue to make mistakes, the direction is actively developing,” says Dmitry Ryumin.

    Cross-disciplinary research. Modern research in the field of multimodal models involves interdisciplinarity. Thus, Dmitry Ryumin is now launching a joint project within the framework of the “Fundamental Research Program” with Laboratory of Social and Cognitive Informatics in modeling cognitive and affective processes and human states. “By combining our departments and laboratories, we are creating a strong interdisciplinary platform for the development of affective technologies. Such cooperation is extremely valuable: our fellow sociologists, although not specializing directly in training neural network models, including large language and generative models, bring deep theoretical expertise. Their knowledge becomes a fundamental basis for training our models,” says the head of the Natural Language Laboratory.

    The Natural Language Laboratory welcomes undergraduate and graduate students who are knowledgeable in programming, linguistics, psychology, and sociology.

    Natural Language Laboratory is an interdisciplinary researcher in machine learning and natural language processing, studying fundamental properties of language, computation, and learning that can contribute to a better understanding of language in general.

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Modern education goes far beyond school lessons. Museums, cultural centers and scientific sites offer many exciting programs that help children develop creativity, interest in science, history, literature and art. The best educational programs for children in Moscow in a variety of areas are in the mos.ru article.

    Art: developing visual acuity and creative potential

    Museums and art studios actively support interest in fine arts from an early age. In classes in the art studio “Classics” of the Museum of Moscow Children will get acquainted with the history of world art – from cave painting to modern street art. Each lesson includes a theoretical part and a practical master class – a real excursion into art history, understandable to a child.

    The State A.S. Pushkin Museum has prepared regular classes for children aged six to eight years from the series “Artist’s Studio. Cities and Crafts”. Participants will learn about the history of folk toys and Russian crafts, and will learn techniques of traditional painting and sculpting applied art objects. On the course “Fairy tale around us” Children aged five or six will discuss famous fairy tales and, under the guidance of an artist, draw magical animals.

    History: Exploring the Past with Interactive Programs

    Historical programs of Moscow museums provide children with a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the past and learn more about the culture and life of different eras. The Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve hosts several interactive classes for budding historians: “Introduction to Tsaritsyn” (6 ), “Catherine II” (3 ), “Once upon a time” (3) Each of them, in a theatrical form, immerses even the youngest guests in the history of the country.

    The Museum of Moscow is open for family fun Exhibition “History of Moscow” with an amazing museum collection: archaeological finds, ancient clothing, weapons, household items, old books and other authentic monuments of the past.

    The Moscow Museum of Archaeology has organized a program for family leisure. Course “Entertaining Archeology” will tell about the history of the development of medieval Moscow. For lovers of practical classes, a “Archaeological Workshop” program. Everyone can feel like a real archaeologist and examine authentic objects from different eras.

    Science: Understanding the world through experimentation and research

    Studying natural sciences and technology is becoming a priority for many schoolchildren. Moscow museums and educational centers pay special attention to developing and maintaining interest through exciting experiments. The Darwin Museum has cycle “Life under the microscope”– children explore the microworld, study DNA, insect jaws and life in a drop of water.

    Nature lovers, such as bird watchers, can attend an interactive ecology class “Riddles of Moscow Birds”The children will learn whether birds can nest on concrete poles, how birds live in the capital, and much more.

    Literature: love of reading and the Russian language

    City libraries offer exciting formats that are sure to spark children’s interest in reading. A renewed club is starting work in Zelenograd Administrative Okrug on the formation of a reading culture “Chitalkin”. On weekends, children aged five to six can pretend to be librarians, writers, literary critics, illustrators and readers at the Children’s Book Playground.

    Immersive readings await children in SAO “Visiting the Book Fairy”. During the lesson, you will be able to depict your impressions and emotions on paper to the sounds of classical music. Children aged seven to 10 years old living in the southwest of the capital are invited to the meeting to the Book Laboratory club. They will hear excerpts from different works, take part in discussions and will be able to take the book home.

    In the library-reading room named after I.S. Turgenev, as part of the All-Russian Children’s Book Week, which runs from March 22 to 30, there will be Master class “Read – sculpt – play”. And in the North-West Administrative District in library #244 Young guests will be able to meet writers, illustrators and publishers, attend master classes on creating book miniatures, images and bookmarks, take part in literary readings “Bedtime Stories” and do much more.

    Anyone over the age of seven has a unique opportunity to practice oratory at the State Museum of A.S. Pushkin. As part of cycle “The Art of Speech” Teacher and theater and film actress Ulyana Chilindina will help improve articulation, eliminate accent, and also master the basics of speech improvisation.

    Music: developing musical ear and taste

    Music is an integral part of development, Moscow concert halls and cultural centers provide children with the opportunity to get acquainted with the classics and the work of modern performers. For example, the Museum of Moscow offers program “World Music” for children aged six to 11. Young listeners will explore the music of different countries and nations, gain experience playing musical instruments and engage in rhythmic tasks together with their parents.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Students of the Faculty of Economics and Management learned about ways to digitize military events and their heroes

    Dmitry Kutovoy with a portrait of a SVO participant in 3D

    As part of patriotic education for students of the Faculty of Economics and Management, a seminar “Heroes” was held, during which students listened to a lecture by Dmitry Kutovoy, a specialist in working with youth in the section “Theory and Practice of Search Work” of the teenage and youth club “Unconquered Frontier” of the Krasnoselsky District of St. Petersburg. He is the founder of the Civic-Patriotic Center “Victory”, the commander of the youth search squad “Ligovsky”, a deputy of the seventh convocation of the Uritsk municipal district, the winner of the grant project for the preservation of the historical heritage of Russia “That which is impossible to forget” and the project “Through the Ages”, a competition for the provision of a subsidy from the Committee on Youth Policy, the winner and prize-winner of the regional stage of the Professional Skills Competition. He was awarded the badge of distinction “For contribution to the perpetuation of the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland.”

    “Our club has been involved in the patriotic direction, including educational activities in educational institutions and search work, for ten years now. Over these years, we have seen that many methods of perpetuating memory have become outdated, so we decided to diversify them in order to keep up with the times and achieve greater understanding and interest among the younger generation. To this end, the club members have developed digital projects that have been well received by young people,” said Dmitry Kutovoy.

    “About the War” is one of such projects. Its essence lies in the preparation and digitalization of information about exhibits transferred by search engines to patriotic museums of educational institutions. Thus, museums receive labels with a QR code, by clicking on which you can read informative articles about the exhibits.

    Another project is “What is Impossible to Forget”. It is about perpetuating memorials, which are now presented in the digital environment. The lecturer recalled that in 1941, the German army planned to capture Leningrad through the Krasnoselsky District, and the district was on the front line of the city’s defense until the blockade was lifted. Fierce battles took place here. This explains the large number of memorials in these places. However, today many representatives of the younger generation do not know who they are for. This project helps to educate them in this direction.

    “Each memorial is presented in a 3D model and has its own authentic tragic story. For example, in Polezhaevsky Park there is a mass grave known as the grave with children. Three unknown soldiers and two children are buried there – residents of the village of Klinovo, who died on September 18, 1941, during the battle for this village. These are 16-year-old Kolya Tikhomirov and 14-year-old Sonya Lyashkevich. They ran out to meet our soldiers and immediately came under fire: the Red Army soldiers and Kolya died on the spot, his brother Tolya was seriously wounded and was treated in the hospital until 1944. Sonya died in the evening of the same day from her wounds. This project is a clear example of perpetuating the memory of events and people,” Dmitry Kutovoy emphasized.

    The “Through the Ages” project was initially dedicated to presenting military uniforms from different eras in 3D models. The authors of the project put them on, they were scanned and brought into the digital environment. Now the project has been expanded with SVO fighters: club members travel to new regions and scan them. This is how a digital 3D model of a person of real size is obtained. The model can be reduced and printed, including on a 3D printer. The soldier statues presented by the lecturer are printed digital copies of real people.

    Another project is called “No Statute of Limitations”. It is being implemented in cooperation with the Investigative Committee. Its goal is to identify new facts of the genocide of the Soviet people during the war, in particular, the shooting of civilians in Pavlovsk in 1942. Due to technical reasons, their remains have not yet been found, but the remains of nine Red Army defenders of the city have been raised. One of them has a living daughter, she is 100 years old. For further study, the remains are scanned to clarify the causes of death, the places where the bullets hit. Based on this knowledge, it is possible to partially recreate their appearance.

    “All projects are a good method of studying historical facts with explanations. Sponsors, deputies, grants and state subsidies help us create them. This once again emphasizes the understanding of the importance of our work at all levels,” the lecturer concluded.

    First-year student Daniil Li believes that the lecture was interesting and informative. “We were shown new ways of perpetuating the memory of those killed during the Great Patriotic War and history in general using new technologies and digital solutions. I learned how and why historical information, memorials, and soldiers’ uniforms are digitized: using a barcode, you can find comprehensive information on a topic of interest at any time. This is important for all generations of our country,” he noted.

    In the six months since the opening of the Moscow-on-the-Wave fish market in the Mitino district, almost half a million people have visited it. They bought fresh products, participated in tastings and watched culinary shows, reported Natalia Sergunina, Deputy Mayor of Moscow.

    The most popular products were lightly salted herring, live carp, seaweed salad and pink salmon caviar.

    The market has repeatedly hosted city festivals such as “Golden Autumn”, “Journey to Christmas”, “Chinese New Year in Moscow” and “Moscow Maslenitsa”. For each of them, the site was decorated in a corporate style, themed events were held, and promotions were launched. Thus, at Maslenitsa, you could try pancakes with a variety of seafood fillings.

    “The first modern fish market opened in the capital in the fall of 2023. Now there are two of them – in the Mitino and Kosino-Ukhtomsky districts. The new format is very popular with Muscovites and tourists. Over the past year and a half, two million people have visited the sites. They purchased about 1.5 thousand tons of products,” noted Natalya Sergunina.

    In total, the assortment includes over 600 types of fish and seafood from 13 seas and three oceans, which are brought directly from fishermen from all over the country. The geography of deliveries covers 17 regions of Russia, including the Astrakhan and Murmansk regions, Kamchatka and Khabarovsk territories, the republics of Karelia and Crimea.

    Specialists from the city services complex have begun cleaning and de-preserving the fountain complex on Manezhnaya Square. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Public Utilities and Improvement Petr Biryukov.

    “In anticipation of the opening of the fountain season, which traditionally begins in April, we are carrying out large-scale work to de-mothball and wash the fountain complex on Manezhnaya Square. This structure consists of 12 fountains and water devices, among which are architectural elements,” noted Petr Biryukov.

    The work will be carried out by a team of four people. Watering equipment will be used to clean the fountains.

    The decorative parts of the fountain complex will be cleaned manually with soft brushes using a citric acid solution, and then washed with water under pressure. A special detergent will be used for granite surfaces, colored mosaics and bronze figures of characters from famous Russian fairy tales. The horse sculptures of the main fountain “Geyser” and the fountain “Clock of the World” will be washed separately.

    Before turning on the fountain complex, all structures located in underground collectors, hydraulics, pumping equipment and jet-forming elements will be carefully checked.

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

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

    GUU and “School in Nekrasovka” will create entrepreneurship and environmental classes. Agreements on this were reached during a meeting held on March 25, 2025 at the State University of Management between Rector Vladimir Stroyev and the school director, Deputy Chairperson of the Commission on Education and Youth Policy of the Moscow City Duma Maya Bulaeva.

    Also present at the meeting from the GUU side were Vice-Rector Dmitry Bryukhanov and Advisor to the Rectorate Nikolay Mikhailov, Director of the Career Guidance Center Elena Likhatskikh and her deputy Andrey Kolchin. And from the guests side – Deputy Director of the school for maintenance Olga Shuvanova and partner-employer, representative of Alfa-Bank Dmitry Belyavsky.

    At the beginning of the meeting, welcoming the guests, the rector called the State University of Management a “district-forming university” since residents and enterprises of Vykhino-Zhulebino use the university’s infrastructure, its swimming pool, sports complex, assembly hall, and the former prefect of the South-Eastern Administrative District Vladimir Zotov still actively works at the Department of State and Municipal Management.

    Director of the School in Nekrasovka Maya Bulaeva shared that she has been trying to build a school-university-enterprise line for a long time, but has not been able to establish connections with the middle management. The school actively cooperates with Alfa-Bank within the framework of the Moscow Department of Education and Science project “Entrepreneurial Class”. “The school works, the bank invests, but ultimately does not receive results in the form of young specialists. We ask for help to fill this gap,” Maya Valeryevna addressed the management of the State University of Management.

    Vladimir Stroyev agreed that today there is a noticeable shortage of personnel even in the most prestigious banks. Modern youth should be prepared in advance for a serious attitude towards their career, build personal connections, otherwise graduates will be immediately “taken apart” by competitors. “Our option of training specialists from school is very effective, it is almost an ideal scheme, especially since we are also geographically close,” the rector noted.

    Maya Bulaeva also suggested creating environmental classes, especially since the rector’s advisor Nikolai Mikhailov is the head of the department of “Ecology and Nature Management” and a member of the Russian Geographical Society. The university has a solid scientific foundation, and the “School in Nekrasovka” has excellent teachers who prepare winners of environmental Olympiads. In addition, there is already a partner in mind that is ready for cooperation – the Moscow Zoo.

    Vladimir Stroyev expressed readiness for any cooperation options, provided that the planned initiatives are worked out in detail. In addition, he, together with the vice-rector of the State University of Management Dmitry Bryukhanov, spoke about the unique system of project-based learning at our university, which allows employers to select potential employees starting from the first year without financial investments.

    During the further conversation it became clear that the School in Nekrasovka has developed the teaching of Chinese, which is useful for future specialists given Russia’s current orientation toward Eastern markets. Continuing this topic, Vladimir Stroyev told the guests about cooperation with the Ministry of Economic Development, in particular about foreign internships and the All-Russian competition of socially responsible initiatives of entrepreneurs and NPOs “My Good Business”, the third season of which is nearing completion. Maya Bulaeva was especially interested in the competition of social entrepreneurs and received an invitation from the rector to take part in the award ceremony for the winners.

  • MIL-OSI Europe: EU citizens most concerned with security and unity, survey shows

    Source: European Union 2

    The European Parliament’s Winter 2025 Eurobarometer survey, released today, highlights historic levels of approval for EU membership linked to peace and security.

    European Parliament President Roberta Metsola said: “Two thirds of Europeans want the EU to play a greater role in their protection. This is a clear call for action which we will answer. Europe needs to be stronger so that our citizens feel safer. The European Parliament will ensure that every proposal put forward is bold and ambitious enough to match the serious level of threat Europe faces. Europe must step up today, or it risks being stepped over tomorrow.”

    66% of EU citizens want the EU to take a more important role in protecting them against global crises and security risks. This view is particularly strong amongst younger respondents to the survey. At the national level, results for a stronger role of the EU range from 87% in Sweden to 47% in Romania and 44% in Poland.

    Almost three quarters of EU citizens (74%) believe their country has benefited from being a member of the EU. This is the highest result ever recorded in a Eurobarometer survey for this question since it was first asked in 1983. Fitting the current context, respondents mention the EU’s contribution to maintaining peace and strengthening security (35%) as the main reason why membership is considered beneficial.

    In addition, there is wide agreement among EU citizens that EU Member States should be more united to face current global challenges (89%) and that the European Union needs more means to deal with the challenges ahead (76%).

    Citizens expect the EU to strengthen security and defence and to enhance competitiveness

    In a rapidlychanging geopolitical environment, defence and security (36%) as well as competitiveness, economy and industry (32%) are identified as the areas on which the EU should focus most to reinforce its position in the world. These are also the topics that featured high on last week’s European Council with Parliament’s President calling for faster action and bolder ambition. While the results for defence and security have remained stable compared to February/March 2024, those for competitiveness, economy and industry have increased by five points. These two areas are followed by energy independence (27%), food security and agriculture (25%) and education and research (23%).

    Economic and security issues are also at the forefront when it comes to the topics citizens want the European Parliament to address as a priority. Four in ten Europeans mention inflation, rising prices and the cost of living (43%), followed by the EU’s defence and security (31%), the fight against poverty and social exclusion (31%) and support to the economy and the creation of new jobs (29%). Inflation, rising prices and the cost of living is a main priority across all age groups and with peak results recorded in Portugal (57%), France (56%), Slovakia (56%), Croatia (54%) and Estonia (54%).

    As shown by the EP’s previous survey, inflation and the cost of living had already played a major role as a driving force in the last European elections and the economic situation continues to be a main concern for many Europeans. A third (33%) expect their standard of living to decrease in the next five years, seven points more than in June-July 2024. This is the case for 53% of French respondents (+8 pp) and 47% of Germans (+15 pp).

    Peace and democracy remain EU core values

    Looking at the values Europeans would like the European Parliament to defend, peace (45%), democracy (32%) and the protection of human rights in the EU and worldwide (22%) come first. The results for this question have remained stable, underlining citizens steadfast support for the EU’s founding values and principles.

    Two-thirds of citizens support a stronger role for the EP

    As historic trend lines show, in moments of crisis citizens look to the EU for decisive actions and solutions. When the EU is perceived as coming together and delivering results, support indicators are high – which is currently the case.  50% of respondents have a positive image of the EU. In the last decade, this positive perception was only higher once (at 52%), in spring 2022 in the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The positive image of the EP is stable at a high level (41%). A few months into the legislative term, over six in ten (62%) citizens would like to see the European Parliament play a more important role, a six- percentage point increase compared to February-March 2024, a few months before the June 2024 European elections.

    Full results can be found here.

    Background   

    The European Parliament’s Winter 2025 Eurobarometer survey was carried out between 09 January and 04 February 2025 in all 27 EU Member States. The survey was conducted face-to-face, with video interviews used additionally in Czechia, Denmark, Finland, Malta, Netherlands, and Sweden. 26.354 interviews were conducted in total and EU results are weighted according to the size of the population in each country.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: More than 1.7 thousand square meters of real estate were transferred to social institutions in the South-East Administrative District

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Since the beginning of the renovation program, the city has selected and transferred 10 new premises for work to socially significant organizations that were located in demolished buildings in the southeast of the capital. This was reported by Maxim Gaman, Minister of the Moscow Government and Head of the Department of City Property.

    “During the entire period of implementation of the renovation program, the city transferred 10 real estate properties in the South-Eastern Administrative District with a total area of over 1.7 thousand square meters to the operational management of socially significant organizations that occupied premises in old buildings. The relocation affected public utility enterprises and administrative institutions. The city allocated real estate in five districts: Lyublino, Nizhegorodsky, Yuzhnoportovy, Lefortovo and Tekstilshchiki,” he said.

    Maxim Gaman.

    The city allocated seven premises with a total area of over 1.3 thousand square meters to housing and communal organizations. Another three facilities with an area of almost 400 square meters were received by administrative institutions.

    “The first floors of new buildings under the renovation program are designed and built as non-residential. Social and household facilities are opened on them. Today, more than 80 premises are used to accommodate such facilities in the South-Eastern Administrative District. They house shops, pick-up points, beauty salons and other businesses,” clarified the Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Department of Urban Development Policy

    Vladislav Ovchinsky.

    For socially significant organizations located in buildings included in the renovation program, the city selects new premises without waiting for the start of resettlement. This applies to healthcare, sports, culture and leisure institutions, as well as utilities. When selecting facilities for placement, the infrastructure formed in the districts is taken into account. Therefore, not only areas in new buildings are used for relocation, but also premises in existing buildings.

    Earlier, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin told on the use of prefab technologies in the construction of houses under the renovation program.

    The renovation program was approved in August 2017. It concerns about a million Muscovites and provides for the resettlement of 5,176 houses. Earlier, Sergei Sobyanin instructed to double the pace of implementation of the renovation program.

    Moscow is one of the leaders among regions in terms of construction volumes. High rates of housing construction correspond to the goals and initiatives of the national project “Infrastructure for life”.
