UrFU students were left without a march Yekaterinburg and TUSUR in TomskAccording to Sverdlovsk media, the university was denied permission for the march by authorities. However, the bans didn't stop the young radiophysicists from celebrating their professional holiday in accordance with other traditions:
📻 Tomsk University of Control Systems and Radioelectronics (TUSUR) celebrated Radio Day with the "Technical Progress" campaign—and once again sent ancient televisions, monitors, system units, and printers flying out of a student dormitory window.
This way of expressing a love of progress was invented back in 1988. Back then, only televisions were thrown out; now, everything that has become obsolete in the era of neural networks is thrown out.
📻 Students from the UrFU Institute of Radioelectronics and Information Technology washed the monument to the inventor of radio. Alexander PopovThe traditional bucket and sponge drive took place on the eve of the holiday.
The tradition began back in 1994, when Radio SI staffers first washed the Popov monument and held a cleanup day in the park near the monument. Since then, the event has been held annually.
