On the agenda are the hottest topics: let’s figure out what’s going on with the country’s economy and “debt servicing,” talk about Armenia’s policy and plan to join the European Union, and also touch on funny (and not very) laws – for example, is it true that you can’t sunbathe in a public place?
And, of course, we will not bypass the much-talked-about SPIEF – we will discuss all of this together with our experts from the GUE!
— “The university has been training engineer-economists for more than 100 years and is now actively restoring the engineering component in education,” reminded Rector Vladimir Stroev. At the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, the ANO “Center for Export, Industry and Investment Support ‘Mosprom'” and GUU signed a cooperation agreement.
— “What exactly will affect the victory in the competition for receiving the President’s or Government’s scholarship in 2026 is hard to say exactly. Much will depend on the specific merits of the contestants,” answered Deputy Director of the Coordination Center for Scholarship Support of the State University, Polina Purganova. She advised all students to try their best, and for support to turn to the heads of their universities. Let us remind that in 2026, the State University acts as the supporting organization of the new season of the ‘Scholarship Holder of Russia’ program.
— “PMEF provides a space for establishing business contacts, and at the Youth Day it gives young specialists a chance to present their startups to top managers and find venture investments,” noted Associate Professor of the Statistics Department Leisan Davletshin. In four days, participants manage to establish contacts that would normally take months in ordinary life. As a result of the forum, large-scale agreements are signed and investments are attracted to Russian projects.
— “The appearance in a public place with naked parts of the body, contradicting moral norms, constitutes petty hooliganism (Article 20.1 of the RF Code of Administrative Offenses),” reminded those wishing to sunbathe topless in public places, associate professor of the Department of Private Law Vladimir Popov. The lawyer noted that the owner, tenant, or lawful possessor of the territory has the right to establish rules of conduct on it — including introducing a ban on sunbathing.
— “When the majority of the budget goes to servicing debt, science and investments suffer. And this is a direct path to lagging behind in technological development,” commented the forecast of the International Monetary Fund on the dynamics of public debt in the European Union by Svetlana Sazanova, Associate Professor of the Department of Institutional Economics.
— “Armenia’s aspiration to join the EU is disadvantageous for the country: the path to membership is long, and many states have not been able to join the union,” stated Associate Professor of the Department of Economic Policy and Economic Dimensions Maksim Chirkov. According to the expert, the pro-European stance of the head of government could have negatively affected the election results.
— “Technologically economically justified tax,” says Maksim Chirkov. Its introduction is intended to support Russian electronics manufacturers in conditions of budget deficit and global industry downturn.
— “The growth of oil and gas production in Russia is a long-term trend, driven by instability in the Middle East,” said Maxim Chirkov. The expert believes that the trend of growth in oil and gas production fits into a long-term perspective, since there are no signs of prolonged stabilization in the Middle East region yet.
— “Sales of new cars fell by 20%, used cars by 14%,” analyzed the state of the car market in Siberia and the Far East by Artem Merenkov, Associate Professor of the Department of Logistics and Transport-Technological Systems. The expert named the state’s measures to protect the domestic manufacturer, including the increase of the recycling fee, as the cause.
— “It must necessarily be remembered that appearance with a guilty ‘rear number’ does not work,” reminded Associate Professor of the Department of Public Law and Legal Management Elena Krasnenkova. If the victim’s side has already exposed the face and presented evidence against it, its subsequent admission is no longer voluntary appearance, but a forced confession of guilt.
— “The cassation instance does not arbitrarily reassess the evidence, but only verifies the compliance with the procedure of obtaining and evaluating it,” commented the cassation ruling of the Judicial Collegium for Criminal Cases of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, Elena Krasnenkova. The lawyer emphasized that the defense’s appeal argued the unreliability of the prosecution witnesses’ testimonies; however, these arguments were rejected.
— “Today, air conditioners work perfectly well even in Africa, where continuous sand gets into the outdoor units. Therefore, there are simply no grounds or circumstances for them to have been massively decommissioned,” — dismissed the forecasts about a possible wave of breakdowns of household air conditioners the teacher Ilya Rybalchenko. “For the emergence of a large-scale problem, either the same service life of most systems is needed, or an external factor capable of simultaneously affecting a large number of equipment,” the engineer concluded.
