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.

Claude AI Manages San Francisco Store and Fires Employee for Repeated Tardiness
In an experiment run by Andon Labs, the AI model Claude was given real managerial authority over store employees in San Francisco who worked under actual employment contracts. Claude ultimately decided to terminate one worker after the employee arrived late for 17 out of 23 shifts. The model initially recommended only an official warning, but proceeded with dismissal following guidance from a human Andon Labs manager who highlighted the repeated issues. Over five months the store’s balance dropped from $100,000 to $61,200, showing that the AI learned to enforce attendance rules before it learned to protect revenue. One remaining employee, Felix Carson, described working under the AI as nauseating and said he continued only because he needed the income. Andon Labs founder Lucas Petersson viewed the trial as an important step toward wider AI supervision of human workers. The case also illustrates that ultimate responsibility remains with humans even when an algorithm issues the final decision.
IDC Publishes First China APA Market Share Report Highlighting RPA Veterans Leading Agentic Automation
IDC has released its inaugural China Agentic Process Automation market report for 2025, marking the first official tracking of the emerging APA sector. The report values the Chinese APA market at approximately 2.15 billion RMB, with product revenue at 1.62 billion RMB and services at 530 million RMB. Leading vendors include Yisaiqi, Jinzhiwei, and Laiye Technology, all long-established RPA players now extending their platforms with agentic capabilities. APA introduces governance layers that allow AI agents to perceive environments, orchestrate tasks, and execute autonomously while maintaining auditability and compliance. Case studies from clients such as Jiage Food and Zhongtian Technology demonstrate significant efficiency gains, including 80 percent process improvements and annual cost savings exceeding one million RMB. The transition from traditional RPA to APA enables handling of non-standard, dynamic workflows that previously required constant human intervention.
sing-box Fork Expands from Desktop VPN Launcher to Android and Router Deployments
The sing-box-lx fork has grown from a desktop-focused VPN engine into a cross-platform solution supporting Android and headless router deployments. Over 1,700 commits since June produced 24 stable 1.14 releases and dozens of specialized builds. New protocol support includes a full MASQUE CONNECT-IP outbound for Cloudflare WARP and a rigorously verified AmneziaWG 2.0 implementation matching 16 obfuscation parameters across three reference sources. Android adaptations introduced aggressive endpoint state management that reduced RSS by 31 percent and CPU load by 80 percent while fixing long-standing TCP dial timeouts inherited from gVisor. The new lxd headless daemon exposes gRPC observability and admin REST endpoints with mTLS, config validation, automatic rollback, and device-name mapping for OpenWrt deployments. All changes follow strict upstream discipline: minimal patches, regular rebases, reproducible builds, and real-device testing before stable tags.
Yandex Market Launches Click Delivery with 24-Hour Post-Payment for Clothing and Accessories
Yandex Market has introduced a new delivery option called click delivery with post-payment, allowing customers to receive orders, try on items at home, and have payment processed only after 24 hours for items they choose to keep. The service targets clothing, footwear, and accessories, eliminating the need to try items in crowded pickup points. Customers can order multiple sizes or models, inspect quality at their own pace, and return unwanted goods within one day without filing a separate request. Returns can be handed to a Yandex Lavka courier or dropped off at a Market pickup point, after which the remaining order is charged automatically. The feature is available only for items eligible for Split installment payments and when selecting click delivery with the "Pay after receipt" option. The service is currently live in 26 Russian regions with plans for further expansion, positioning it as a novel format for the Russian market.
