From the very beginning of the Great Patriotic War, the Polytechnics community dedicated itself entirely to the defense of the country. Around 4,000 students and staff joined the active army, the people's militia, and partisan units.
From 1943, the institute operated in two locations — Tashkent and besieged Leningrad — continuing both education and scientific research under extreme conditions.
In 1944, after the return of faculty and students from evacuation, Leningrad Polytechnic Institute (LPI) fully resumed academic operations.

The S&P 500 fell 1.3% to 4,204.36, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.7% to 32,943.33. The Dow posted a fifth straight weekly loss — its longest losing streak since 2019. The Nasdaq Composite tumbled 2.2% to 12,843.81.
