How to Submit Documents for Online Master's Programs via Gosuslugi: Complete Guide
The admission campaign for online master's programs is approaching its deadline, with less than a month left for prospective students to submit applications. Yandex Practicum shares a comprehensive guide on submitting documents through the Gosuslugi super service titled "Admission to University Online."
This service allows applicants to complete the entire process digitally. Users fill out applications, upload documents, and monitor status without visiting admissions committees in person. The guide covers required documents, consent submission, and avoidance of frequent errors.
What is the "Admission to University Online" Super Service
The super service on the Gosuslugi portal enables electronic applications to universities. Applicants select institutions, programs, priorities, education details, benefits, and individual achievements. The system saves drafts for later completion if needed.
Applications to online master's programs at ITMO and MEPhI in partnership with Yandex Practicum can be handled fully online, with curator support at every stage.
Key Deadlines for 2026
- ITMO programs (Frontend/Backend Development, AI Solutions, DevOps Engineer, Product Management): documents due by August 28, enrollment orders issued August 30.
- MEPhI programs (Data Specialist and AI Application, Cybersecurity): documents due August 24, internal exams end August 25, contracts finalized by August 27, enrollment orders August 28.
Required Documents and Step-by-Step Submission
Applicants need a confirmed Gosuslugi account, passport details, SNILS, and a higher education diploma. Individual achievements and benefits can also be added. The process involves navigating to the Education section, selecting the super service, choosing the university and program code, setting priorities, attaching scans, and submitting the application.
After submission, applicants track status in their personal account and may need to select exam dates. Programs are paid but eligible for state-supported loans at 3% interest.
Common Mistakes and FAQs
Frequent errors include using unconfirmed accounts, incorrect program selection, unreadable scans, missing deadlines, and failing to monitor application status. If a diploma does not load automatically, scans must be emailed to the university with the applicant code. Up to five universities and five directions per university are allowed. Original documents are not required for online programs, and army deferment options may apply for certain tracks.

Microsoft 365 Admin Tool Exposes Pitfalls in Graph, Exchange PowerShell and Intune Management
An open-source developer has released version 2.0 of SwissKnife for MS Graph, a tool that adds a safe preview-and-apply layer on top of Microsoft 365 administration. The project addresses the lack of a native what-if mode in Microsoft Graph and the incomplete coverage of Exchange tasks in the Graph API. It implements a two-step plan-and-apply workflow, supports fallback to Exchange Online PowerShell or the Admin API, and runs community scripts under strict constraints. The author details multiple real-world obstacles including named-location ID drift in Conditional Access policies, masked secrets returned by Intune, and limitations when restoring Transport Rules from snapshots. The tool also provides a worker mode for macOS and Linux users and enforces script signing plus AST-based command whitelisting. Feedback is requested on error messages and tasks that still require manual PowerShell use.
Neuromorphic Processors Lag Behind GPUs for Large AI Models Despite Energy Advantages
Neuromorphic chips such as Intel Loihi promise major energy savings by activating only when events occur, yet data centers remain dominated by GPUs optimized for dense matrix operations in generative AI. The mismatch arises because modern large language models rely on high-precision linear algebra, massive memory bandwidth, and mature software stacks that neuromorphic architectures currently lack. Researchers are exploring spiking transformers and on-chip plasticity via mechanisms like STDP, but scaling to billions of parameters remains challenging. Companies including BrainChip, SynSense, and SpiNNaker2 have released commercial neuromorphic hardware, yet the absence of standardized tools and clear performance gains for mainstream workloads slows adoption. Hybrid approaches combining neuromorphic blocks with in-memory computing, analog circuits, and photonic accelerators may define future heterogeneous systems rather than outright replacement of GPUs.
Russia Expands Digital Birth Certificates via MAX App for Transport, Healthcare and Public Services
The Russian government has broadened the list of situations where parents can use the electronic version of a child’s birth certificate stored in the Digital ID section of the MAX service. The digital document can now be presented when buying transport tickets, claiming free or discounted travel, boarding public transport, receiving medical care under OMS, visiting MFC offices, museums, cultural and sports events, and purchasing discounted tickets. The measure also covers any other services requiring proof of a minor’s identity. Use of the QR code remains voluntary, and the paper certificate continues to be valid. The service activates gradually as organizations connect their systems, with more than 3,000 hotels already integrated.
PT AF Cloud Uses Machine Learning to Detect Shifts in Web Attack Patterns from Millions of WAF Events
Positive Technologies has detailed how its PT AF Cloud service applies anomaly detection to WAF events, turning tens of millions of daily security events into actionable weekly alerts for SOC teams. The system builds traffic profiles based on the distribution of triggered protection rules for each tenant and compares current hourly or daily profiles against a weighted historical baseline using Jensen-Shannon distance. This approach identifies meaningful changes in attack composition even when overall event volume remains stable, catching the start of scans, exploitation of newly published vulnerabilities, or post-release application changes that trigger new rules. Two detection modes operate in parallel: an hourly mode for rapid spikes and a daily mode for gradual shifts distributed across multiple hours. Alerts include comparative tables of top rules, unique attack vectors, and direct links to the relevant events in the PT AF interface. Over four weeks the detector surfaced roughly 1,100 anomalies across the cloud, with expert review confirming that 69 percent indicated either an attack or a protection misconfiguration.
