Compassion, empathy, and family — these are the words that capture the essence of the film “You Are Not an Orphan" On the eve of Victory Day, the screening brought together Polytech students and guests from the Consulate General of the Republic of Uzbekistan in St. Petersburg. “This film is based on a real human story of courage: during the war, an Uzbek family took in and raised more than a dozen children of different nationalities who had been evacuated to Tashkent. It is not just a film about war — it is a film about humanity. About the ability to remain human in the most difficult times. About how compassion, warmth, and responsibility know no borders or nationalities,” — noted rector of the Polytechnic University Andrey Rudskoy. 👉 The film tells the story of the Shamakmurodov family from Tashkent, who adopted 14 orphaned children during World War II. Based on real events, it has become a powerful tribute to humanism and is considered one of the most moving war dramas. For Polytech, this story carries special meaning. During the war, staff of the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute were evacuated to Uzbekistan, where they continued their work. Today, the republic remains one of SPbPU’s key partners in science, education, and youth initiatives.

He started a chain reaction ⚗ Today marks the 130th anniversary of the birth of Nikolai Nikolaevich Semyonov, an outstanding physicist, chemist, and professor at the Polytechnic Institute, the first Nobel Prize winner in chemistry in the USSR — awarded in 1956 (jointly with Cyril Hinshelwood) "for his research into the mechanism of chemical reactions." 📚 At just 24 years old, Nikolai Nikolaevich became a lecturer at the Petrograd Polytechnic Institute. And as a 30-year-old associate professor, he founded his own school, which colleagues aptly nicknamed the "Semyonov Regiment." 🧪 Nikolai Nikolaevich made fundamental contributions to the establishment of chemical physics: he developed the theory of chain and branched reactions (using the oxidation of phosphorus vapor as an example), the theory of thermal explosions and combustion of gas mixtures, and together with Pyotr Kapitsa, he devised a method for measuring the magnetic moment of the atom.
