The government has expanded the list of areas within the framework of the implementation of the Guillotine 2.0 project, which is aimed at revising and reducing mandatory requirements for the construction and operation of social infrastructure facilities. The project has been implemented since 2024 in such areas as “School”, “Redevelopment (re-equipment) of premises”, “Hospital”, “Runway (airport)”, “Hotel”. To these have been added “Organization of cultural events” and “Development and improvement of the availability of infrastructure for sports”.
“The idea of the “regulatory guillotine” is to reduce redundant and irrelevant norms and rules. The business community is actively involved in this work. Together, we have already reviewed over 300 thousand mandatory requirements, and more than a third of them have been cancelled. Now we have moved on to more targeted work in individual areas with the aim of further reducing administrative barriers to the implementation of social projects,” commented Deputy Prime Minister – Head of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.
For example, within the framework of the “Hotel” direction, the period for checking the grounds for putting a land plot up for auction has been reduced from two months to one. And within five days, the winner of the auction will be required to send a signed contract for the sale and purchase or lease of the land plot. The corresponding changes have been made to the Land Code.
By September 2025, a simplified procedure for connecting to power grids will become available for hotels with 120–200 rooms (medium-sized hotels with energy consumption of up to 670 kW), as is currently the case for facilities with energy consumption of up to 150 kW. The period for reviewing an application for technological connection will be reduced from 20 to 10 days.
A number of changes are planned within the framework of the direction “Organization of cultural events” and “Development and improvement of accessibility of infrastructure for sports activities”. For example, the Government has lifted restrictions on the frequency of free visits to parks, museums and exhibitions for large families. Now large families can visit them free of charge at any convenient time when the institution is open. This rule has become uniform throughout the country. The corresponding Government resolution has already been issued. Also, within the framework of the project, it is planned to eliminate excessive requirements for the preservation of cultural heritage sites. Applications for assignment of sports titles can be submitted electronically.
Large-scale work to revise mandatory requirements for carrying out business activities (the so-called regulatory guillotine) began in 2019 on the instructions of the President. It is carried out jointly with business representatives and the expert community – 43 industry groups have been created. They analyze both old and new mandatory requirements for their redundancy and irrelevance. According to business communities, the annual economic effect of the “regulatory guillotine” is about 200 billion rubles. These groups are also actively involved in the new project – “Guillotine 2.0”.
