The conference “Probability Methods in Discrete Mathematics” is a regular event and this year it was dedicated to the 90th anniversary of birth of the Soviet and Russia scholar, Doctor of Physics and Mathematics, Academician of the Russian Cryptography Academy and a co-founder of the “Discrete Mathematics” journal Valentin F. Kolchin. The scientist has significantly influenced the advancement of mathematical research in Karelia and contributed to the establishment of the Institute of Applied Mathematical Research KarRC RAS.
The aim of the conference is to foster the development of modern probabilistic methods in discrete mathematics. The conference featured review lectures on V. F. Kolchin's main research areas and the impact of his results on the development of the theory of random mappings and random graphs. The participants discussed the latest advancements in the theory of random graphs and hypergraphs, the theory of branching processes, probabilistic combinatorics, game theory and stochastic optimization, statistical and simulation modeling.
Financial support for the event was provided by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education Russia grant for establishment and promotion of the World-class Mathematics Center Steklov Mathematical Institute RAS) and the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.

A successful introduction: the zander has settled down in Lake Sundozero and continues to spread
Scientists of the Institute of Biology KarRC RAS have published the results of long-term observations over the population of the zander (or pikeperch) introduced to Lake Sundozero more than a half-century ago. They confirm the species has become naturalized. Maintaining the population requires regulation of harvesting, protection during spawning, and tending of spawning grounds.

Ice-related phenomena on rivers emptying into the White Sea now last three weeks less than 60 years before
Ice on northern rivers now forms later while ice-off occurs earlier. Karelian scientists confirmed this having analyzed 64 years of marine and meteorological data from the estuaries of rivers draining into the White Sea along its western coast. Climate change has bit three weeks off the ice-covered period on these rivers. The reductions have been the most significant in the last 30 years, aligning with global warming trends in Arctic water bodies.

Citizen science and web technologies help researchers study insects of Karelia
More than 30 insect species not encountered in Karelia previously have been revealed by entomologists from KarRC RAS during their expeditions and using data communicated by active participants of the iNaturalist portal – an open platform for collecting biodiversity data.
