    HAIKOU, July 7 (Xinhua) — A preliminary familiarization tour of the “Qianguqing Carnival” was held recently at the major Qianguqing (Millennium Romance) theme park in Sanya, south China’s Hainan Province, during which Russian tourists were offered various interactive activities.

    According to the park’s representative, Huang Jia, Russian tourists were taught Chinese idioms, introduced to China’s intangible cultural heritage, and involved in traditional folk dances. This initiative helped to effectively overcome language and cultural barriers, allowing Russian guests to visually and deeply become acquainted with the charm of traditional Chinese culture and the distinctive color of Hainan Province.

    According to the data, following the results of the first 5 months of this year, Russian tourists were consistently leading in number among foreign guests of Sanya, demonstrating a trend towards a younger contingent. Moreover, almost 80% of travelers from Russia stayed in the city for more than four days. At the same time, Russians traditionally make up the main category of foreign visitors to the Qianguqing theme park, the number of visits to which has been rapidly growing in recent years.

    According to Huang Jia, in order to deepen international cultural exchanges, expand overseas markets and improve service quality, the park has installed signs in Russian, trained guides fluent in Chinese and Russian, and invited Russian artists to participate in performances. -0-

  • MIL-OSI USA: War-Torn Central America in the 1980s Comes to Life in New Historical Memoir

    Source: US State of Connecticut

    Some six decades ago, when Scott Wallace’s parents gifted him a Polaroid Swinger camera and leather-bound diary as a child, the seeds of journalism were planted.

    No one knew back then that Wallace, now an associate professor in the UConn journalism department, would go on to become an award-winning writer, television producer, and photojournalist who’s reported from places including the front lines of war-torn Central America, jungles of South America, and post-Soviet Russia.

    Similarly, no one could have foreseen the foreign policy decisions made by the U.S. during the Vietnam War, from around the same time Wallace opened that gift of a camera and journal, would have an influence on some of today’s most divisive issues.

    That’s the thread woven through Wallace’s new historical memoir, “Central America in the Crosshairs of War: On the Road from Vietnam to Iraq,” which has won Gold in the Foreward INDIES Awards in the category of political and social sciences, along with a Gold IPPY from the Independent Book Publishers Association as best history book (oversized/coffee table).

    He maintains the U.S. government’s decisions, denials, and deceit during Vietnam inevitably led to disasters in Iraq and Afghanistan many decades later, coming through the conflicts, civil wars, and revolutions in Central America in the 1980s.

    “Our country would be less polarized,” he says of what would have happened if the U.S. behaved differently in places like El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Guatemala during those years.

    “We would be dealing with a diminished immigration crisis if we had encouraged democracy in Central America and redirected the resources that we gave them for training armies and waging war,” he says. “If we instead used those same resources to build up their economies, there would have been far fewer reasons for them to leave. They’d still be there. We seriously contributed to the tearing apart of the social fabric there, and I think a lot of the people who’ve come here in the last 40 years never would have left their homes.”

    Wallace sat with UConn Today recently to talk about how he got started as a journalist, his unique perspective as a firsthand witness to war, and his advice to others who want to report from the front lines.

    Why have you decided to share your story now?

     
    I was in the middle of a project in Brazil involving the struggles of Indigenous peoples in the Amazon and their efforts to defend their territories and the rainforest from predatory logging and other forms of what passes for development down there. Then, the pandemic hit, and I realized I had to move in another direction if I was to work on a monograph during that time. Even after the pandemic passed, it was near-impossible to gain entry to Indigenous communities. Even into 2021 and 2022, it was still too difficult to get into the territories where I’d been conducting my research. Part of the reason I chose the Central America project was to pivot away from Brazil, at least until it was possible to return to those sensitive Indigenous territories. Secondly, there was a lot I’d been wanting to say for a long time about my experiences as a young journalist in Central America and the abiding relevance of so many issues that have come to the fore today, including immigration and the crisis at the border. Very few people understand how much the issue of immigration from Central America has been driven by our policies from 40 years ago, when we were actively involved in supporting and fueling the military conflicts that were going on down there. It drove a lot of the immigration into the U.S. and made the conditions in those countries so difficult that people left en masse. It’s a story of unintended consequences. The third impetus for the project was the very rich trove of images I’d taken while covering those conflicts, most of which had not previously been published, along with detailed notes and compelling stories that have withstood the test of time. Those experiences formed the foundation of my career and what I’ve ended up doing as a journalist over the last 40 years.

    What’s one of your ‘I-can’t-believe-I did-that’ experiences from the front lines?

    We managed to get ourselves into this rural area of El Salvador in the rebel stronghold of Chalatenango Department, where there had been allegations of a massacre perpetrated by the army that the United States was arming and supporting. We managed to bluff our way past a series of roadblocks, got into rebel-controlled territory, and then got permission from the guerrillas to undertake a journey on foot down into the scene of this atrocity.  After most of the day walking, we came upon a dilapidated footbridge stretching across this yawning chasm with a rushing river beneath us. The bridge was such a wreck that, out in the middle, the boards were sagging vertically to the surface of the water, and the wires on one side were basically useless. You had to pick your way across, hand over hand, with your feet on the tops of the boards. The water below was rushing at such a furious speed that the rebels advised us not to look down as we crossed because the rush of the water would make us dizzy, and we’d lose our balance and fall. Had we known what we were getting into, I’m not sure we would have gone there. But by then, we were already so far into the journey there was no going back. When we got to the scene, a horrific stench came from a good way off. It looked like a scene from a plane crash, with clothing and belongings strewn across the brush and hanging from the trees and bodies lying on the ground. It was horrific. I did my best to piece together what had happened from interviews with survivors and what we could see on the ground.

    Something like that must stick with you.

     
    I think you develop a little bit of a thick skin, and you just have to move through it. You’re there to find out what happened, and your own personal feelings are kind of secondary.

    How did you get your start as a journalist?

     
    I was thirsty for adventure and for finding out about the bigger world. I took a year off from college as an undergraduate, and, with advice from some students who were a little older than me and who had done something similar, I lined up a volunteer position in the Peruvian jungle. I went first to Mexico, studied intensive Spanish for the summer, then traveled overland through Central America, down the spine of the Andes, and out into the jungle, where I worked as a literacy instructor in an Indigenous community. During that year I discovered something new about myself. I didn’t know Spanish at all before I left, and through the process of having to put myself out there, I kind of developed a new persona as I interacted with Latin Americans and mastered the language and the culture. I loved the music, the people, and the literature. I returned to college after that, doubled up on Spanish classes, and learned how to write it and read it. I also became fascinated with what was going on in Latin America in the news. I was already a few years out of college when it dawned on me that maybe I could make a career as a journalist covering events in Latin America, since I loved writing, taking pictures, and travel. I decided to go back to school to get a master’s in journalism with the objective of going to Central America when I graduated. By this time, the early 1980s, Central America was in turmoil. The Sandinistas had taken power in Nicaragua, a civil war had erupted in El Salvador, and the Reagan Administration vowed to ‘draw the line’ against what it perceived to be communist aggression in Central America. The region was a tinderbox that seemed poised to become a new Vietnam. I knew that no news organization would send a new graduate straight into a big story. I would have to go as a freelancer, so I decided to learn as many skills as I could, because as a freelancer I knew I would have to have as many skills as possible to earn a living: write news stories, take photographs for my stories, sell my photographs to other news outlets. I also got a tip that doing radio for one of the networks was a really good way to establish yourself and bring in a steady stream of work. Just as I was about to graduate, one of my professors, who had previously been a CBS Radio correspondent, introduced me to network executives when they came to campus, and one thing led to another. They didn’t have anyone in El Salvador at that time, so I was able to land a gig as their freelance ‘stringer’ there.

    What would your advice be for a journalism student or working journalist who’s hungry to do this kind of work today?

     
    It takes a certain kind of person. You have to be passionate about the world, curious about the way the world works. You need to be an avid reader of literature as well as nonfiction, be up on current events, and follow the news closely. In all the writing classes that I teach, I require my students to accompany their stories with images, because everyone should know how to take decent pictures and how to do solid interviews. They should learn how to shoot video and record audio. Of course, now you must have a social media presence and put your stuff out there. It’s also very important to make contacts. Ply your professors or the people you meet, go to places where you’re going to meet the professionals you admire. Follow them on Instagram. See who’s excelling at the kind of work you’re interested in and reach out to them. You also should build a portfolio of writing, images, and multimedia. Persistence and patience are also important.

    Compared to historians and others who’ve studied Central America and the conflicts there, do you think you have a unique perspective seeing it all firsthand?

     
    It’s definitely a unique perspective, but sometimes I’m a little bit daunted by the intellectual capabilities and rigor of my colleagues in other departments at the University. I think my strength lies in bringing personal experiences and storytelling acumen to the narrative. In June, I was asked to do a presentation at a seminar of academics on genocide and its relationship to ‘ecocide’ – the criminal destruction of the environment – based on my work covering Indigenous struggles in jungles of the Amazon. I was pleasantly surprised by the positive reception to my presentation, in which I showed my photographs and told stories of people whose lives are impacted and threatened by deforestation, land grabbing, and the violent destruction of habitats and biodiversity. It was a way of bringing abstract concepts down to ground level. I’m not the only one who does that. All my colleagues in the journalism department similarly bring that kind of ground-truthing and storytelling to the subjects they report on.

  • MIL-OSI Submissions: Georgia: how democracy is being eroded fast as government shifts towards Russia

    Source: The Conversation – UK – By Natasha Lindstaedt, Professor in the Department of Government, University of Essex

    Georgia was once considered a post-Soviet success story. After years of authoritarian rule, followed by independence which brought near state collapse, corruption and chaos, Georgia appeared to have transitioned to democracy.

    In a period after independence in 1991 and before 2020, elections were regularly held and were deemed mostly free and fair, the media and civil society were vibrant and corruption levels had diminished significantly.

    The “Rose revolution” in 2003 ushered in an era of unprecedented reform and suggested a move towards democracy and a closer relationship with the west. Georgians were full of hope for the country’s future, and prospects of joining the European Union – or at least moving closer to Europe.

    Fast forward two decades and Georgia has fully returned to authoritarianism. Six opposition leaders are in prison or facing charges and now thinktank leaders are being targeted with investigations that could land them in prison. Typically these charges centre around accepting foreign funding or criticising the government.

    In moves in line with other authoritarian regimes around the world, opposition organisations such as thinktanks are being told to produce financial documents in short timeframes, and accused of financial mismanagement and threatened with prosecution if they don’t.

    In May 2024, Georgia passed a Russian-inspired foreign agent law — which would require non-governmental organisations (NGOs) receiving foreign funding to register themselves and face restrictions. Protests erupted each time Georgia’s parliament debated this measure, but eventually the pro-RussianGeorgia Dream party prevailed. More than 90% of NGOs receive funding from abroad, so the new law cripples the efforts of some 26,000 of them.

    Many Georgians were outraged that the passage of the bill may end dreams of one day becoming a European Union candidate country. Regular surveys have found that about 80% of Georgians have aspirations for their country to join the EU.

    Though Georgia faces a host of economic problems, the Georgia Dream party has campaigned on delivering a return to traditional values. Like Russia they have also passed a series of laws in 2024 that target the LGBTQ+ community, such as banning content that features same-sex relationships and stripping same-sex couples of rights, such as adoption.

    Parallels with Russia?

    Georgia Dream also passed legislation making treason a criminal offence, a clear attempt to eliminate political opponents. Any insults of politicians online are also considered a criminal offence.

    Also, in June of this year civil society organisations in Georgia received court orders requiring them to disclose highly sensitive data. Meanwhile, members of the Georgia Dream party were accused of assaulting opposition party leader Giorgi Gakharia suffering a broken nose and a concussion, which they denied.

    In another effort to exercise greater control over the state, since the beginning of this year more than 800 civil servants have been dismissed. Similar to the purges that took place in Turkey — this is not being done in the name of efficiency, but to ensure that the bureaucracy is loyal to wishes of the Georgia Dream government.

    This hasn’t happened overnight, as the laws had already changed several times to weaken legal protections for civil servants.

    During its time in government, the Georgia Dream party has moved the country much closer to Russia, often by portraying the nation as locked in a cultural struggle against the west. Despite this, 69% of Georgians still see Russia as Georgia’s main enemy, up from 35% in 2012.

    Though the Georgia Dream party faces increasing public opposition to its rule, it gained nearly the same amount of votes in the 2024 elections as it did in 2012 – when it was at its peak of popularity. The election result in October 2024 may be partly explained by accusations of fraud and other irregularities.

    How did this happen?

    One of the first big threats to Georgia’s democracy came in August 2008 when Russia invaded the country to offer support for two breakaway regions in South Ossetia and Abkhazia which declared themselves independent from Georgia. The international community did little to censure Russia, giving Russian president Vladimir Putin the confidence to engage in further acts of aggression.

    Russia has maintained troops in South Ossetia, only about 30 miles from Georgia’s capital Tbilisi, and continues to play an important role in Georgian politics, undermining democracy.

    The next threat came from within. Billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili was elected prime minister of Georgia in 2012 as the leader of Georgia Dream. despite the fact that he officially stepped down from this position in 2013, he has wielded power behind the scenes and is still widely considered to be the de facto leader of Georgia.

    Though Georgia did not immediately slide towards autocracy under the Georgia Dream party, today there are few remnants of democracy left. The major opposition parties are banned, opposition politicians and journalists are spied on, and protests are repressed by the police.

    Cameras are now installed on the streets of Tbilisi as part of a crackdown on protest and fines for protesting have increased. Elections are no longer considered to be free and fair by the European Union and others as the Georgia Dream party uses its access to the state resources to dole out patronage to its supporters and intimidate voters.

    In just over two decades, Georgia has managed to plunge back to authoritarianism. Once hailed as a beacon of democratic reform, the country is now gripped by a Russian-influenced ruling party that has consolidated power through repression, surveillance and manipulation.

    But while the Georgia Dream party has tried to dismantle the country’s democratic institutions, support for resistance is high. According to a poll in 2025, more than 60% of respondents supported protests against the government and 45% identified as active supporters. And 82% feel Georgia is in crisis, with 78% blaming Georgian Dream.

    It appears that Russia may have succeeded in undermining democracy in Georgia, but not in shaping hearts and minds.

  • MIL-OSI Submissions: US backs Nato’s latest pledge of support for Ukraine, but in reality seems to have abandoned its European partners

    Source: The Conversation – UK – By Stefan Wolff, Professor of International Security, University of Birmingham

    Recent news from Ukraine has generally been bad. Since the end of May, ever larger Russian air strikes have been documented against Ukrainian cities with devastating consequences for civilians, including in the country’s capital, Kyiv.

    Amid small and costly but steady gains along the almost 1,000km long frontline, Russia reportedly took full control of the Ukrainian region of Luhansk, part of which it had already occupied before the beginning of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

    And according to Dutch and German intelligence reports, some of Russia’s gains on the battlefield are enabled by the widespread use of chemical weapons.

    It was therefore something of a relief that Nato’s summit in The Hague produced a short joint declaration on June 25 in which Russia was clearly named as a “long-term threat … to Euro-Atlantic security”. Member states restated “their enduring sovereign commitments to provide support to Ukraine”. While the summit declaration made no mention of future Nato membership for Ukraine, the fact that US president Donald Trump agreed to these two statements was widely seen as a success.

    Yet, within a week of the summit, Washington paused the delivery of critical weapons to Ukraine, including Patriot air defence missiles and long-range precision-strike rockets. The move was ostensibly in response to depleting US stockpiles.

    This despite the Pentagon’s own analysis, which suggested that the shipment – authorised by the former US president Joe Biden last year – posed no risk to US ammunition supplies.

    This was bad news for Ukraine. The halt in supplies weakens Kyiv’s ability to protect its large population centres and critical infrastructure against intensifying Russian airstrikes. It also puts limits on Ukraine’s ability to target Russian supply lines and logistics hubs behind the frontlines that have been enabling ground advances.

    Despite protests from Ukraine and an offer from Germany to buy Patriot missiles from the US for Ukraine, Trump has been in no rush to reverse the decision by the Pentagon.

    Russia is now claiming to have completed its occupation of the province of Luhansk in eastern Ukraine.
    Institute for the Study of War

    Another phone call with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, on July 3, failed to change Trump’s mind, even though he acknowledged his disappointment with the clear lack of willingness by the Kremlin to stop the fighting. What’s more, within hours of the call between the two presidents, Moscow launched the largest drone attack of the war against Kyiv.

    A day later, Trump spoke with Zelensky. And while the call between them was apparently productive, neither side gave any indication that US weapons shipments to Ukraine would resume quickly.

    Trump previously paused arms shipments and intelligence sharing with Ukraine in March, 2025 after his acrimonious encounter with Zelensky in the Oval Office. But the US president reversed course after certain concessions had been agreed – whether that was an agreement by Ukraine to an unconditional ceasefire or a deal on the country’s minerals.

    It is not clear with the current disruption whether Trump is after yet more concessions from Ukraine. The timing is ominous, coming after what had appeared to be a productive Nato summit with a unified stance on Russia’s war of aggression. And it preceded Trump’s call with Putin.

    This could be read as a signal that Trump was still keen to accommodate at least some of the Russian president’s demands in exchange for the necessary concessions from the Kremlin to agree, finally, the ceasefire that Trump had once envisaged he could achieve in 24 hours.

    If this is indeed the case, the fact that Trump continues to misread the Russian position is deeply worrying. The Kremlin has clearly drawn its red lines on what it is after in any peace deal with Ukraine.

    These demands – virtually unchanged since the beginning of the war – include a lifting of sanctions against Russia and no Nato membership for Ukraine, while also insisting that Kyiv must accept limits on its future military forces and recognise Russia’s annexation of Crimea and four regions on the Ukrainian mainland.

    This will not change as a result of US concessions to Russia but only through pressure on Putin. And Trump has so far been unwilling to apply pressure in a concrete and meaningful way beyond the occasional hints to the press or on social media.

    Coalition of the willing

    It is equally clear that Russia’s maximalist demands are unacceptable to Ukraine and its European allies. With little doubt that the US can no longer be relied upon to back the European and Ukrainian position, Kyiv and Europe need to accelerate their own defence efforts.

    A European coalition of the willing to do just that is slowly taking shape. It straddles the once more rigid boundaries of EU and Nato membership and non-membership, involving countries such as Moldova, Norway and the UK.
    and including non-European allies including Canada, Japan and South Korea.

    The European commission’s white paper on European defence is an obvious indication that the threat from Russia and the needs of Ukraine are being taken seriously and, crucially, acted upon. It mobilises some €800 billion (£690 billion) in defence spending and will enable deeper integration of the Ukrainian defence sector with that of the European Union.

    At the national level, key European allies, in particular Germany, have also committed to increased defence spending and stepped up their forward deployment of forces closer to the borders with Russia.

    US equivocation will not mean that Ukraine is now on the brink of losing the war against Russia. Nor will Europe discovering its spine on defence put Kyiv immediately in a position to defeat Moscow’s aggression.

    After decades of relying on the US and neglecting their own defence capabilities, these recent European efforts are a first step in the right direction. They will not turn Europe into a military heavyweight overnight. But they will buy time to do so.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Polytechnic at INNOPROM-2025: Technologies of the Future Are Already Here

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    On July 7, the INNOPROM-2025 exhibition opened in Yekaterinburg. This is the main industrial exhibition of Russia and one of the key platforms in Eurasia for presenting high-tech solutions, concluding international contracts and exchanging experience between industry leaders. INNOPROM-2025 will cover key industries, including automation, mechanical engineering, metallurgy, materials production, urban technologies and the IT sector.

    More than 1,000 companies from Russia, the Middle East, Europe and Asia will present their products on an exhibition area of 50 thousand square meters. In total, over 47 thousand participants from 60 countries are expected at INNOPROM-2025, including representatives of 11 thousand organizations and companies.

    “I am glad to welcome you to the anniversary XV International Industrial Exhibition INNOPROM! The main theme of INNOPROM-2025 — “Technological Leadership: Industrial Breakthrough” — is fully revealed in the business and exhibition program of the exhibition. And almost every thematic track of the exhibition — be it the development and application of advanced digital and production technologies or effective educational solutions for training a new generation of engineering personnel — corresponds to one or another scientific and technological or practice-oriented educational area of activity of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, — says Rector of SPbPU, Chairman of the SPbB RAS Andrey Rudskoy. — I am convinced that INNOPROM-2025 will become an effective platform for uniting sites for demonstration, interaction, as well as effective business communications with potential customers and investors. The stand of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University is open for constructive dialogue and interaction with all interested participants and partners who are ready, like our university, to actively participate in the implementation of the action program to achieve technological leadership in Russia.”

    Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University presents more than ten advanced developments at the exhibition, which not only demonstrate the level of the engineering school of Russia, but are also ready for implementation in key areas of industry. These are not prototypes “for the future”, but ready-made solutions for the present.

    “Zhuchok” – a transport platform for wheelchairs

    A distinctive feature is that any wheelchair can enter the platform: both electric and mechanical. This allows the platform to be rented on popular tourist routes or beaches, increasing their accessibility for people with disabilities. Equipped with a unique rubber track, which has no analogues in Russia.

    Industrial cartridge – an effective barrier for protecting urban waters

    FOPS filters purify wastewater, turning sewer manholes into eco-stations. The development is entirely Russian and has already been tested in megacities. The solution is scalable and relevant for all urbanized areas. FOPS filters are not thrown away after cleaning, but are included in the composition of nutrient substrates. The new technology closes the ecological cycle, reduces waste and makes agriculture “greener”. The key idea: to use what others throw away.

    Lithium-ion module with smart balancing

    Module for electric vehicles and new generation equipment. Up to 1500 W/kg of power in a compact case. Most of the components are domestically produced, the rest can be replaced in the near future.

    “Nomad” – mobile laser welder

    Mobile laser cladding complex created in the Research Laboratory “LiAT” of the Institute of Metallurgy and Metallurgy of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. The Nomad is designed to restore and modify the surfaces of large-sized and special products using laser cladding. After transportation, the start-up and adjustment time is up to 30 minutes. The laboratory specialists designed the complex to carry out projects to repair components of domestic and imported gas turbine engines. This technology allows applying layers of material to a substrate or a finished product. Metal powders and wires can be used as raw materials. The main feature of the MK is its compactness and the ability to move to the work site, which is convenient for repairing large-sized products.

    Also on the stand you can see nozzle assemblies after restoration repairs using the laser gas-powder surfacing method, working and nozzle blades, welded joints formed using the laser and hybrid laser-arc welding method, and much more.

    New generation unmanned aerial vehicle “Snegir-2”

    The Snegir electric UAV family is a line of multifunctional unmanned vehicles developed by specialists from the Experimental Design Bureau of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU “Digital Engineering”. In 2023, the Snegir-1 UAV was created on an initiative basis in just five months, and in 2024–2025, the Snegir-1.5 and Snegir-2 modifications with increased take-off weight and flight range were developed on its basis.

    The new generation UAV Snegir-2 presented at the Polytechnic stand has increased stability due to an improved control system, and is also equipped with an innovative modular system of interchangeable components, which allows the device to be quickly adapted to perform various tasks.

    The SPbPU stand showcased developments of the Polymer Composite Materials laboratory of the SPbPU Advanced Engineering School “Digital Engineering”, including demonstrators of overprinting and induction welding technologies for thermoplastic composite materials, as well as automated laying out of thermoplastic unidirectional prepregs. These solutions were highly praised by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko at the XI International Forum of Technological Development “Technoprom” in 2024.

    Innovative materials and products are presented for the first time: ASM PEEK C140UD toupreg for automated production of highly loaded composite structures, a bracket made of ASM PEEK-C285S-P based on a thermoplastic consolidated plate made of superstructural polyetheretherketone, as well as ASM PEEK-3K filament for 3D printing based on continuous carbon fiber. The production technologies of the materials were developed by engineers of the Polymer Composite Materials laboratory of the Advanced Engineering School “Digital Engineering” of SPbPU in the interests of JSC Prepreg-SKM (part of Rosatom Composite Technologies), and samples of the materials were manufactured by an enterprise of the composite division of the State Corporation specifically for the INNOPROM-2025 exhibition.

    Oil products in water sensor

    The use of the sensor allows determining the concentration of impurities in real time. Analogues allow determining the presence and concentration of impurities only in samples taken at specified time intervals. When creating the sensor, digital design technologies, additive technologies, development of proprietary image processing algorithms, and microcontroller programming were used.

    “ARCitech” – industrial 3D metal printing

    An open-type installation designed for electric arc growing of large-sized metal products. The technological process allows achieving record high speeds of product production (for aluminum alloys (Al) — 2.2 kg/hour, for Fe — 6 kg/hour).

    “The Cable of Life” is a story that has become a symbol of heroism

    An exhibit from the SPbPU History Museum is an engineering solution that saved Leningrad during the siege. A fragment of a high-voltage cable that was laid along the bottom of Lake Ladoga to provide Leningrad during the siege with electricity from the restored Volkhov Hydroelectric Power Station. It is named by analogy with the “Road of Life”.

    There is also an active business program at the Polytechnic stand. On the first day of the exhibition, negotiations were held with representatives of the Industrial Cluster of the Republic of Tatarstan. They were attended by the Scientific Secretary of SPbPU Dmitry Karpov, Chairman of the Board of the Cluster Sergey Mayorov, Member of the Board Aidar Gimadeev, Member of the Board Pavel Loginov, Member of the Board Ilnar Zakirov.

    The Tatarstan Industrial Cluster is an association of enterprises and organizations created to develop industrial production and increase its competitiveness. Founded in 2010, the cluster today includes more than 1,000 enterprises operating in various industries. The goal of the cluster is to develop the republic’s economy through the development of production and increasing the competitiveness of industrial enterprises. The partners discussed promising options for cooperation that can be implemented in joint educational projects. They are aimed at improving production technologies, creating new products and services, and improving the qualifications of personnel.

    BEIJING, July 7 (Xinhua) — A Chinese-developed robot dog managed to reach a speed of 10.3 meters per second during a TV show on Sunday, matching the world’s best sprinters.

    During the race, the four-legged robot nicknamed “Heibao” /”Black Panther”/, weighing 38 kg and standing 0.63 m tall, broke the previous world speed record for such machines, which belonged to Boston Dynamics and their robot WildCat.

    A video broadcast by China Central Television shows Heibao reaching impressive speeds on a treadmill. Recall that Usain Bolt’s world record for the 100m is 9.58 seconds, which translates to a speed of 10.44 m/sec.

    Heibao was first unveiled in January of this year, when it demonstrated an astonishing step rate of 5 steps per second, making it one of the fastest quadrupedal robots in the world.

    The new development was made possible by a collaboration between Zhejiang University’s Innovation Institute, which specializes in humanoid robots, and Hangzhou-based startup Mirror Me.

    The newly upgraded Heibao now outsprints most humans, but still lags behind other recognized land-based sprinters such as cheetahs, ostriches, pronghorns, etc.

    In the future, it could be used for disaster relief and logistics. -0-

    BEIJING, July 7 (Xinhua) — China’s textile industry recorded steady growth in the first four months of this year, data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology showed Monday.

    According to the agency, during the reporting period, the added value of products of the country’s leading textile companies, whose annual income from core activities is at least 20 million yuan (about 2.8 million US dollars), increased by 4.2 percent year-on-year.

    The combined operating income of the above-mentioned enterprises for the period was 1.49 trillion yuan, down 0.5 percent year-on-year.

    Meanwhile, from January to April, the sector’s leading retail chains posted combined sales of 6.4 trillion yuan, up 5.9 percent year-on-year.

    In the first four months, the country’s textile and clothing exports grew by 1.1 percent year-on-year to $90.5 billion.

    Experts believe that despite the increasing volatility in the international market and the continuing domestic difficulties, the textile industry, as a traditional sector, still has a large production scale, wide market demand and high employment capacity. It continues to play a key role in supporting the economy and the well-being of the population.

    According to an industry insider, many textile companies, under pressure from the difficult international environment, are stepping up their efforts to find and create new materials and are actively seeking to enter the premium segment of international production chains. -0-

    BEIJING, July 7 (Xinhua) — A thrilling kickboxing match between 12-year-old Sergey from Primorsky Krai and a local athlete took place at the Changchun Sports Complex in northeast China’s Jilin Province on Thursday. After the final bell, the young fighters exchanged friendly hugs, showing respect for each other.

    The fight was part of the martial arts festival “Youth and Martial Arts,” which brought together more than 240 young participants. Most of the Russian athletes represented Primorsky Krai, which borders Jilin Province.

    In 1990, the city of Nakhodka in Primorsky Krai and the city of Jilin in Jilin Province became sister cities. Over the years, youth exchanges have been ongoing between the regions, and practical cooperation in the fields of economics, trade, logistics and tourism has been actively developing, yielding fruitful results.

    This strong connection is especially noticeable in the border city of Hunchun in Jilin province. Russians can be seen on the streets everywhere, browsing Chinese goods at local shops. And local traders at night markets call out to customers in Russian with a slight northeastern accent.

    Since the beginning of June, Zhou Yajuan, a tour guide at the Yutong International Travel Agency in Hunchun, has been receiving an average of over 200 Russian tourists a day. She said that most of them come from Primorsky Krai in groups for dental treatment and to get acquainted with traditional Chinese medicine, and their program is very busy.

    At the Aizu Tang Chinese Medicine Center in Hunchun, Han Shimin receives over a thousand Russian guests every year. Certificates of appreciation in Russian hang on the walls of his office.

    Over the past 35 years, economic cooperation between the regions has reached new heights. Every morning, refrigerated trucks loaded with Kamchatka crabs from Russia cross the Hunchun checkpoint and enter China. Sea corridors linking Hunchun via the Russian port of Zarubino with the Chinese ports of Ningbo, Shanghai and Qingdao have turned Jilin Province into a “city of seafood delicacies.” The Changchun-Hunchun-Europe freight train route passes through Primorsky Krai, closely linking the hinterland of Northeast China with the European continent. -0-

  • MIL-OSI Russia: The first winners of the federal program “Mom-entrepreneur” have been determined

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    Nine regions of the country have summed up the results of the regional stages of the federal program “Mom-entrepreneur”, aimed at supporting women with minor children or on maternity leave. Participants received grants in the amount of 150 thousand rubles to implement their projects.

    “For 13 years now, the “Mom-entrepreneur” program has been giving women the opportunity to successfully start a business. This year, the program is only gaining momentum: regional stages will be held in 59 more regions, with about 3.5 thousand women taking part. It is also planned to implement individual thematic tracks,” noted Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Tatyana Ilyushnikova.

    The program continues to inspire not only the participants, but also those who have already achieved success. Thus, within the framework of the forum of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives “Strong Ideas for a New Time”, the partner and ambassador of the “Mom-entrepreneur” program, the finalist of the “Index of Business” rating, the co-founder of the cosmetics company ESTILAB Irina Amosova spoke about her business during a meeting with the President of Russia Vladimir Putin. Irina’s company is a recipient of various support measures, from a place in a coworking space to R&D subsidies. This example shows how support at the start helps women scale up projects and bring them to the federal level. At this year’s program, Irina will tell the participants how to grow their business within the legal framework, build long-term strategies, build environmentally friendly relationships with business partners and what to get inspired by.

    At the regional stages, participants undergo an intensive course from certified trainers of the My Business Centers. During the week of training, they master key aspects of entrepreneurship, including business planning, marketing strategies, and ways to attract clients. The program also includes mentoring sessions with successful businessmen and individual consultations. In the final, mother-entrepreneurs defend their projects in front of experts, and the best of them receive grant support.

    In 2025, the program underwent changes — now, when selecting, preference is given to projects aimed at developing key sectors of the economy. An example of such a business direction was the project of the winner from the Leningrad Region, Lyubov Pershina — a 3D printing studio. Her company produces components for industry and the automotive industry, and also creates souvenirs, toys and interior items.

    “Participation in the program gave me an exchange of experience with interesting people. I have already opened a 3D printing and 3D modeling studio. Our advantage is high quality and precision. We make exclusive solutions!” – said Lyubov Pershina.

    Inga Ankhimova became the winner of the regional stage in the Republic of Karelia. She won with the project “Ekovetvi” – a workshop for creating furniture and decor from living twigs. After receiving a subsidy and training at the Center “My Business”, the woman was able to turn her hobby into a successful business. The participant dedicated her victory to her son, who will soon go to serve in the army.

    “This business is love at first sight. Last year the program seemed scary, but now I am proud of my work and want to develop further,” shared Inga Ankhimova.

    Participants in the regional stages of the “Mama-Entrepreneur” program present projects in various business areas. For example, in the Rostov Region, Yulia Naumenko is developing the production of forged designer furniture “Aze le Rido”, Alena Patrikeyeva is launching the toy factory “Dzhunto”, Irina Chekulaeva – the production of raw-pressed oils “Davil”. Professional dog handler Maryana Chernichkina presented an interesting project – a grooming studio and puppy school “Chernika”.

    The average age of female entrepreneurs is 33–40 years old, most of them are raising two children. These examples clearly demonstrate how the program helps mothers implement business ideas, combining entrepreneurship with caring for their families. The federal program “Mom-entrepreneur” is included in the list of tools of the national project “Efficient and Competitive Economy”.

    Denis Manturov visited the Scientific and Production Association of Automatics, part of the state corporation Roscosmos. With the General Director of NPOA Mikhail Izyumov

    First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov visited the Scientific and Production Association of Automatics (part of the Roscosmos State Corporation), one of the largest Russian enterprises in the field of development and production of control systems and electronic equipment for rocket and space technology. The First Deputy Prime Minister assessed the readiness of the control system for the Soyuz-5 launch vehicle.

    Currently, NPO Avtomatiki is completing the manufacture of the control system for the Soyuz-5 launch vehicle. Denis Manturov visited the complex stand where the control system is undergoing development tests.

    NPOA CEO Mikhail Izyumov said that the new main unit of the system is four times more compact and lighter than the unit for the Soyuz-2 launch vehicle. The use of a high-speed, productive onboard computer will optimize the communication between the rocket and ground launch equipment. This will simplify the process of preparing the product. The capabilities of the onboard computer will ensure the deployment of all test modes directly on board, and not on ground equipment. Mikhail Izyumov emphasized that the control system will be handed over for flight tests in accordance with the work schedule.

    Also, for Soyuz-5, an emergency engine protection system for the first and second stages has been developed and is being manufactured, which will allow cyclically with a duration of several milliseconds to assess the state of the engine based on its operating parameters. The control will help to identify a possible emergency situation, prevent its further development and promptly issue a command to shut down the engine. In the event of an abnormal situation on the first stage engine, it will save the rocket and the launch complex, and during the flight of the second stage, if it is possible to continue the flight on one of the engine blocks, it will turn off two chambers of the emergency block, and two chambers of the second block will work. Such a scheme will be used for the first time on domestic rockets.

    Denis Manturov was also presented with the capabilities of NPO Avtomatiki in the production of devices for unmanned agricultural machinery, equipment for the oil and gas production industry, as well as sensors and detectors.

    Doctors at the N. I. Pirogov Clinic of High Medical Technologies at St. Petersburg State University have made a breakthrough in orthopedics. For the first time in St. Petersburg, robotic surgery has appeared using the MAKO SmartRobotics system — an advanced platform for knee and hip joint replacement. Now patients can have total and partial endoprosthetics with pinpoint precision, unachievable by traditional methods.

    N. I. Pirogov Clinic of High Medical Technologies is part of the St. Petersburg University and regularly occupies a leading position among the best medical institutions both in Russia and abroad. Over the past year, specialists at the university clinic have performed more than 35,000 successful operations.

    New Bachelor’s Degree Program “Physical Rehabilitation” at St. Petersburg State University will prepare rehabilitation specialists for the high-tech branch of medicine.

    The day before the operation, the surgeon plans the installation of the implant down to the smallest detail, taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient’s anatomy, based on 3D modeling data. Preoperative planning based on CT data is carried out using the MAKO digital ecosystem, which includes intraoperative navigation that visualizes the anatomy in real time, as well as a robotic arm.

    “This level of preoperative preparation and intraoperative control radically changes the standards of accuracy and predictability of results. During the intervention, the robot, like the hand of an experienced sculptor, limits the area of influence of the instruments and ensures maximum precision of resections with zero possibility of error,” the traumatologist-orthopedist emphasized. Clinics named after N. I. Pirogov of St. Petersburg State University Vadim Klimenko, who performed the first operation.

    MAKO SmartRobotics is the only robotic system in Russia officially registered for total hip replacement, as well as total and partial knee replacement.

    Unlike surgical navigation systems, which are visualization aids, MAKO has the ability to physically control the movement of instruments. Clinical studies demonstrate significant benefits of robotic surgery: a reduction in revision rates of up to 53%, improved soft tissue balance, shorter hospital stays, reduced need for analgesics, and faster rehabilitation.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Psychologist from St. Petersburg State University in the podcast “Heinrich Terahertz”: “Digital addiction – a new reality or a threat to thinking?” | St. Petersburg State University

    Smartphones and social media create the illusion of productivity, but in reality they drain the psyche. Constant notifications, endless scrolling, and the fear of missing out lead to chronic anxiety and a decrease in intellectual abilities. Children, whose cognitive functions are formed in conditions of hyperconnectivity, are especially vulnerable – their thinking may never reach full maturity.

    Olga Shcherbakova explained why banning gadgets in schools (as in China, Australia and the EU) improves academic performance and socialization. Modern children, who are called “digital natives”, lose their deep thinking skills because their brains get used to working in conjunction with external devices. Even educational content is not always useful – it is important to be able to distinguish educational materials from “digital fast food”. A separate problem is “cognitive reserve”: if thinking is not trained in youth, this can lead to early cognitive impairments in the future.

    The world is not divided into those who are “dependent” and those who “control.” Most people simply do not realize how much their psyche has already merged with gadgets.

    Leading researcher of the Faculty of Psychology of St. Petersburg State University Olga Shcherbakova

    There is a way out: consciously limiting screen time, returning to analog forms of learning, and creating an environment where the brain is forced to work independently. But this requires efforts not only at the family level, but also at the level of the entire education system.

    She explained how to regain your attention and help children avoid digital degradation, and whether it is worth waiting for government regulation or starting with yourself. And why even adults who consider themselves “confident users” are actually susceptible to digital addiction.

    Proposal to establish BRICS investment platform

    By Gabi Khumalo

    Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed the establishment of a new BRICS investment platform to support joint development and attract capital.

    “Multiplying mutual capital investment by the BRICS countries, including through BRICS mechanisms, primarily, the New Development Bank appears to be an important goal as well. To this end, Russia proposed creating a whole new BRICS investment platform.

    “The idea behind it is to jointly develop coordinated instruments to support and to bring in the funds from the economies of BRICS countries and from the Global South and Global East countries,” said the Russian President. 

    President Putin was speaking via video conference at the opening of the 17th BRICS Summit on Sunday in Brazil.

    President Putin expressed gratitude to Brazilian President Lula da Silva and the Brazilian Chairmanship for their active efforts in advancing the strategic partnership within BRICS.

    He highlighted that the BRICS countries continue to deepen their cooperation across key sectors, including in politics, security and finance.

    BRICS now includes leading states in Eurasia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America.

    “Together, we possess a vast political, economic, scientific, technological, and human potential,” he said.

    Quoting the International Monetary Fund (IMF) data for 2025, President Putin said BRICS countries account for not only a third of the earth’s landmass and almost half the planet’s population, but also for 40% of the global economy, while their combined GDP at purchasing power parity stands at $77 trillion.

    “BRICS has rightfully established itself as one of the key centres of global governance, with our collective voice in support of the global majority’s vital interests resonating ever more powerfully across the international stage.”

    During the session, participants discussed prospects of further cooperation between the BRICS states in politics, trade, the economy, culture, and humanitarian affairs, as well as the international agenda.

    In his address during the opening session, President Cyril Ramaphosa called for enhanced global cooperation and urgent reform of international governance structures amid the “dramatic reshaping of global dynamics — politically, economically, technologically, and environmentally”.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Green energy from industrial emissions: Polytechnic University creates biohydrogen production technology

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    The Institute of Civil Engineering at SPbPU has created an environmentally sustainable technology based on microalgae that allows the utilization of carbon dioxide from industrial emissions and the production of biohydrogen, a promising renewable fuel. The results of the study were published in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, and the technology is described in the material onon the RIA Novosti website.

    The development was carried out under the supervision of Natalia Politaeva, professor at the Higher School of Hydraulic and Power Engineering. The technology involves the use of bioponds, where microalgae absorb carbon dioxide, forming biomass, which is then subjected to dark fermentation to obtain biohydrogen.

    The fuel produced in this way can be used in cars, hydrogen fuel cells or to generate electricity and heat. Implementation of the technology in coal power plants will help reduce the harm from carbon dioxide emissions and increase the energy efficiency of enterprises.

    The advantage of the technology is that it combines three functions: carbon dioxide capture, biomass processing and hydrogen production. This makes the system unique in terms of its closed nature and sustainability. Scientists plan to improve the technology after pilot implementation at an industrial facility.
