    BEIJING, May 28 (Xinhua) — The Chinese mainland will continue to actively promote cross-Strait exchanges and cooperation in the interests of compatriots on both sides, Chen Binhua, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said at a briefing on Wednesday.

    Chen Binhua noted that the mainstream public opinion in Taiwan, which advocates peace, development, exchanges and cooperation, cannot be ignored. “The desire of people on both sides of the Strait to increase exchanges and the enthusiasm of Taiwan compatriots to participate in the Taiwan Strait Forum and other similar events cannot be suppressed,” he said.

    According to him, preparatory work for the 17th Taiwan Strait Forum is currently in full swing, the specific agenda of which will be announced in the coming days, Chen Binhua said, stressing that the forum has already been held 16 times since 2009 and has become an important platform for promoting exchanges and cooperation between the two sides of the strait.

    Chen Binhua criticized Taiwan’s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration for imposing restrictions on Taiwanese people’s participation in the forum, calling it another attempt to obstruct cross-strait exchanges.

    “This once again demonstrates their malicious intent to suppress cross-shore exchanges and proves that Lai Qingde’s statements about his readiness to engage with the Chinese mainland are nothing but lies and empty talk,” he said. -0-

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Ethiopia’s Central Bank: Leading Transformative Reform

    Source: IMF – News in Russian

    May 28, 2025

    Ethiopia has taken historic steps to address macroeconomic imbalances while fostering sustainable growth

    Over the past year, Ethiopia—Africa’s second most populous country—has embarked on a comprehensive transformation of its monetary and exchange rate regimes. After decades of tight control, the country has liberalized the foreign exchange regime, adopted a more flexible exchange rate, moved to an interest rate-based monetary policy, and ended central bank financing of government. In parallel, the National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE) is updating its legal framework and internal organization. 

    These reforms aim to address acute foreign exchange shortages and inflation, creating conditions for high, sustainable growth. The authorities are also tackling budgetary constraints, financial vulnerabilities in state-owned enterprises and state-owned banks, and a sovereign debt restructuring while mitigating social impacts and managing humanitarian pressures. The IMF is supporting Ethiopia’s reform efforts through a four-year $3.4 billion Extended Credit Facility Arrangement.

    During the 2025 IMF-World Bank Spring Meetings, Mamo Mihretu, Governor of the National Bank of Ethiopia discussed these key reforms with Abebe Aemro Selassie, Director of the IMF’s African Department. The following is an edited transcript of the conversation, focusing on key highlights (view video). 

    Abebe Aemro Selassie: Ethiopia is undergoing significant reforms that are reshaping its economic landscape. Can you provide some context regarding the state of the economy before these reforms?

    Mamo Mihretu: After two decades of sustained economic growth, primarily driven by public investment, Ethiopia faced unsustainable macroeconomic imbalances. The state’s reliance on external creditors, the large public bank, and NBE led to foreign exchange shortages, limited access to credit for the private sector, high inflation, financial stability risks, and debt vulnerabilities.

    Abebe Aemro Selassie: What are the primary objectives of the reform agenda that Ethiopia has embarked upon?

    Mamo Mihretu: We launched our Homegrown Economic Reform Program in 2019. The objective of the reforms was to address fundamentally, boldly, and conclusively the sources of macroeconomic instability in Ethiopia and create a much more open, investment-friendly, and private-sector-friendly environment. These objectives are critical for our job creation agenda that will increase income and improve livelihoods.

    Abebe Aemro Selassie: Can you elaborate on some of the key reforms in Ethiopia’s monetary policy?

    Mamo Mihretu: We have made historic changes, including the revision of the Central Bank Act to prioritize price stability. We introduced a monetary policy rate, implemented open market operations for liquidity management with banks, and established a Monetary Policy Committee to advise on monetary policy decisions based on comprehensive assessments of economic conditions. Interest rates are now positive in real terms. Inflation has declined from 30 percent to 13 percent.

    Abebe Aemro Selassie: What about the reforms related to foreign exchange? What changes have been implemented?

    Mamo Mihretu: Ethiopia has a market-based foreign exchange regime for the first time in five decades. We comprehensively liberalized foreign exchange transactions and eliminated the requirement to surrender export earnings to the NBE. The early results have been promising; we expect exports to double and have already tripled our foreign reserves, while foreign exchange availability has also increased.

    Abebe Aemro Selassie: Communication appears to be a vital aspect of your reform strategy. Can you discuss its importance?

    Mamo Mihretu: Building credibility and trust is essential. We are investing in transparent communication and actively monitor market dynamics. By maintaining open channels of dialogue with stakeholders, we aim to foster a supportive environment for these reforms.

    Abebe Aemro Selassie: What lessons have emerged from your experience in implementing these reforms?

    Mamo Mihretu: Several key lessons stand out. First, preparation and coordination among government agencies are crucial. Second, the sequencing of reforms matters; it helps maintain stability and manage public expectations. Finally, adapting to evolving economic conditions is vital for the success of any reform effort.

    Abebe Aemro Selassie: What are the next steps for Ethiopia in terms of reform and economic development?

    Mamo Mihretu: We have to deepen the current monetary policy reforms as we move to a fully-fledged interest-rate based monetary policy. We are also working on deepening the foreign exchange market. Most importantly we are decisively addressing macroeconomic instability to create a strong foundation for sustainable growth.

    BEIJING, May 28 (Xinhua) — China will pilot a policy allowing holders of ordinary passports from Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain visa-free entry to the country for 30 days from June 9, 2025 to June 8, 2026, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Wednesday.

    At a press briefing, Mao Ning outlined the details of China’s recently announced decision to unilaterally grant visa-free entry to the four Gulf countries.

    According to the diplomat, citizens of these countries arriving in China for business, tourism, visiting relatives or friends, on exchange programs or for transit purposes for up to 30 days do not need to obtain an entry visa.

    “Considering that the United Arab Emirates and Qatar have introduced a mutual visa-free regime with China since 2018, the visa-free regime now covers all countries of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Persian Gulf. We invite more and more friends from the GCC countries to visit our country whenever they want, in the format of spontaneous travel,” Mao Ning said. -0-

    JERUSALEM/SANAA, May 28 (Xinhua) — Israeli warplanes on Wednesday struck the main airport of the Yemeni capital Sanaa and several aircraft belonging to Houthi forces, the Israeli army said in a statement.

    The attack destroyed the last aircraft used by Houthi forces, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a statement.

    “This is a clear signal and a direct continuation of our policy: whoever opens fire on Israel will pay a high price,” he warned.

    He noted that Israel would continue to strike Yemeni ports and strategic infrastructure used by the Houthis and their allies. “The airport in Sanaa will be destroyed again and again,” the statement said.

    The Israeli minister also warned that the Houthis would find themselves “under a sea and air blockade.”

    Airport CEO Khaled al-Shayef confirmed that a fourth Yemeni national airline plane, Yemenia Airline Company, was destroyed in Israeli airstrikes on Wednesday morning.

    Since November 2023, the Houthis, who control much of northern Yemen, have carried out regular missile and drone strikes on Israel. They say they are doing so in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza amid the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The group has said it will stop the attacks if Israel ends its military operations and blockade of Gaza. –0–

    BRUSSELS, May 28 (Xinhua) — The situation in Gaza remains “unbearable,” European Union (EU) High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas said on Wednesday.

    A senior diplomat in a post on social media site X accused Israel of carrying out strikes that “go beyond what is necessary.”

    K. Kallas condemned the “disproportionate use of force” by Israeli troops in Gaza and called for a return to the ceasefire to ensure the release of hostages and pave the way for a lasting, negotiated peace.

    “Israel’s military operation in Gaza, the disproportionate use of force and the loss of civilian lives cannot be tolerated,” Kallas said in a statement, adding that continued attacks on civilian infrastructure are “unacceptable.”

    Insisting that humanitarian aid “must never be politicized or militarized,” Kallas stressed the central role of the UN in providing aid.

    Source: Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering – Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering – Projects in the exhibition hall of the Faculty of Architecture

    On May 27, SPbGASU opened an exhibition of projects submitted to the competition “Concepts for the Spatial Development of Municipalities of the Leningrad Region 2025” in four of five nominations.

    The competition is held by the Committee for Urban Development Policy of the Leningrad Region. The exhibition is organized at two sites of our university at once. The lower balustrade presents the concepts of the Wedding Palace in Vsevolozhsk and the museum storage facility in Staraya Ladoga. In the exhibition hall of the architectural faculty, you can see the concepts of the House of Culture in the city of Telmana and the Regional Sports Training Center in the village of Roshchino.

    Both experienced and novice authors compete in the anonymous competition. The winners in each nomination will receive a cash prize of 516 thousand rubles.

    “I am very glad that the Leningrad Region is exhibiting projects of such a significant competition. Moreover, this competition is not only for students, but also for professional architects. If a student wins, how will he implement his project at a serious level? In this case, we, teachers, experienced architects, will definitely help. In all cases, this is a very interesting experience, a very beautiful exhibition,” said Ekaterina Voznyak, Dean of the Faculty of Architecture, at the opening.

    “For me, this is the first experience of preparing a joint exhibition at SPbGASU, my alma mater, my native university. Last week, the construction block of the Leningrad Region Government held a meeting with the university management. We agreed on joint and long-term work. The site of the architectural university can be actively used, especially since the Committee for Urban Development Policy and the Committee for Construction of the Leningrad Region separately actively interact with the faculties of SPbGASU,” said First Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Urban Development Policy of the Leningrad Region – Chief Architect of the Leningrad Region, Associate Professor of the Department of Urban Development of SPbGASU Sergey Lutchenko.

    Sergey Ivanovich reported that the committee strives to attract young people to its competitions, and the fruits of this approach are already there: three universities reached the finals of the competition to create a concept for the modernization of the memorial and landscape complex “Road of Life” – Moscow Architectural Institute, SPbGASU and St. Petersburg Mining University. On Children’s Day, June 1, a new recreation space opens in Tosno – a summer wooden parklet. The authors of the architectural concept are SPbGASU students who won the competition to create an architectural concept for a parklet for squares in cities of the Leningrad Region.

    The fact that the exhibition is being held in one of the most authoritative universities among those that train architects will contribute to the popularization of the competition, says Deputy Chairman of the Leningrad Region Construction Committee Evgeny Enokaev. Evgeny Kemilevich emphasized that the committee is a regional government customer and plans to implement all winning projects. Perhaps there will be interested parties who will implement other projects in other cities.

    The meeting of the competition committee (with defenses) in the nominations “Concept of the Wedding Palace in Vsevolozhsk”, “Concept of the House of Culture in Telmana”, “Concept of the Regional Sports Training Center in Roshchino” and “Concept of the Storage Facility in Staraya Ladoga” will be held on June 3, 2025 in the St. Petersburg House of the Architect at the address: St. Petersburg, Bolshaya Morskaya St., Bldg. 52.

    Moscow, May 28 (Xinhua) — Speaking at the 13th International Meeting of High Representatives Responsible for Security Issues on Wednesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the next round of direct talks between Russia and Ukraine will be announced soon.

    According to him, in the new round of negotiations with Ukraine, the Russian side will continue to insist that Ukraine repeal discriminatory laws.

    “At these negotiations, on May 16 in Istanbul, we insisted on the abolition of these discriminatory laws, and we will continue to do so at the next round of direct negotiations, which we will announce in the very near future,” said S. Lavrov.

    In his opinion, peace negotiations are better than war, but in order to successfully end the conflict in Ukraine, its root causes must be eliminated.

    He also noted that one of Russia’s key demands is the return of Ukraine to a neutral, non-aligned and non-nuclear status.

    “Let me remind you that the neutral, non-aligned and non-nuclear status of Ukraine was solemnly proclaimed in the declaration of independence of this country, adopted in 1991,” said S. Lavrov. –0–

    Moscow, May 28 /Xinhua/ — Russia’s approaches remain principled and unchanged, the new security architecture must be equal and indivisible. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin in a video address to participants of the 13th International Meeting of High Representatives Responsible for Security Issues.

    He noted that it is important to make the Eurasian continent “a space of peace and stability, an example of sustainable economic, social and cultural development.”

    “We believe that the basis for creating such a universal security system could be the existing and well-proven multilateral formats of interaction, such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the Eurasian Economic Union, the Collective Security Treaty Organization, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and others,” said V. Putin.

    He also called on the meeting participants to draw on past experience when building joint work, recalling that 2025 will mark 80 years since the end of World War II, which had a dramatic impact on the development of the international community.

    The key event of the international exhibition “Metalloobrabotka – 2025” took place in the Moscow-City Expo Center – a plenary session dedicated to the implementation of the national project “Means of Production and Automation”. The event was organized by the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

    Opening the meeting, the Minister of Industry and Trade of Russia Anton Alikhanov presented the main parameters of the discussed project “Means of Production and Automation” and spoke about the key support measures. Thus, compensation of 50% of the cost of domestic robots makes them profitable in just one year.

    According to the results of last year, the level is 29 robots per 10 thousand people. A year ago, this figure was 19. That is, we have grown quite well. But I repeat once again, our task is to reach the level, approximately, taking into account the growth of the entire parallel world, of 145 robots per 10 thousand people. This, in fact, is within our power, – the minister said.

    In 2025, more than 1,200 companies from seven countries will participate in Metalloobrabotka: Russia, Belarus, India, Italy, China, the Republic of Korea and Turkey. More than 800 Russian companies will take part in the exhibition. Belarus and China will present national expositions.

    The key topics of this year’s exhibition are: “Innovations in Machine Tool and Tool Building”; “Automated Lines and Robotic Systems”; “Software for Smart Factory Management”; “Artificial Intelligence Technologies and Digital Twins”; “New Materials and Additive Technologies”.

    Visitors can see the equipment “in action” – from heavy metal-cutting machines to robotic complexes and artificial intelligence systems that manage production. The Polytechnic University stand is of particular interest to visitors.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: NSU student develops system for monitoring vital signs and physical activity for people with disabilities

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Novosibirsk State University – Novosibirsk State University –

    A fourth-year student developed a hardware and software system for monitoring vital signs and motor activity for people with disabilities Faculty of Information Technology, Novosibirsk State University Mikhail Evdokimov. It allows remote monitoring of the user’s pulse rate, blood oxygen saturation, body temperature, as well as his movement in space. The prototype of the complex has already been assembled, testing is underway.

    — The increase in the number of elderly people and patients suffering from various lifestyle-related diseases makes it critically important to develop systems that facilitate monitoring of the health of these people outside of hospitals, allowing them to stay at home or at work. Having various health limitations, these people need constant monitoring of their physical condition. Often, for various reasons, relatives cannot provide them with constant supervision, and negative changes occur when patients are left alone and are unable to seek help in a timely manner, which can sometimes lead to tragic consequences. Existing monitoring tools rarely combine autonomy and mobility, compactness and low cost, so we decided to create a monitoring system that would track the main indicators of the user’s physical condition and, if they deviate from the norm, notify the medical workers under whose supervision the user is, — said Mikhail Evdokimov.

    The young researcher is confident that his project, which he is working on as part of his final qualifying work under the scientific supervision of the adviser to the rector of NSU, Professor Alexander Shafarenko, will help the elderly, including those with some forms of dementia, by simplifying health monitoring by transmitting the dynamics of indicators to medical organizations for the timely provision of medical care.

    An important element of the system is a wristband that reads the pulse, body temperature and relative coordinates of the user. Other elements are a microcontroller with a magnetic sensor (one or more), as well as a central microcontroller, where all information from the sensors and the bracelet is sent.

    The device’s bracelet looks very similar to a regular smart watch, and if the size of the device decreases during further development of the project, it will resemble fitness bracelets. But if the “smart watch” partially or completely implements health monitoring functions, then due to the limited functionality, they are not able to recognize abnormal conditions, and even more so, they do not have the functions of transmitting alarm information to medical workers. In addition, the “smart watch” device is tied to a specific manufacturer and is closed, which means that it does not allow modification by the medical service provider. These shortcomings have been eliminated by the developers of this project.

    According to Mikhail Evdokimov, the vital signs monitoring system should be open and independent. Therefore, he studied and analyzed the design and functionality of several modifications of “smart watches” in search of successful ideas and the formation of requirements for his project. The young researcher came to the conclusion that a solution that meets all his requirements is currently absent, and the category of “smart watches” is only indirectly related to health monitoring and is not suitable for use as a component of the monitoring system he is creating. Therefore, his own “smart bracelet” was assembled and programmed, which has the set of functions necessary for the monitoring system. Using the C language, the program code was written for the operation of the built-in accelerometer, pulse sensor, data transmission via communication modules, power management and analysis of the collected data. The ESP-NOW protocol was chosen for communication between the system nodes. It was developed specifically for transmitting information between microcontrollers based on the ESP-32 processor and is a more efficient version of classic Wi-Fi. The interaction between the nodes has a client-server architecture: the bracelet and magnetic sensors send their readings to the central microcontroller with a static IP address.

    This system works as follows: a magnetic sensor is installed on the doors of the apartment. It transmits information to the central microcontroller about whether the door is open or closed. The central microcontroller uses this data for analysis.

    A magnetic sensor can be installed, for example, on the toilet door. If it has not been opened for a long time, this is an alarm signal. Perhaps the person is unconscious or in a helpless state, and urgent help is needed. A similar sensor installed in the kitchen can warn about the same thing – if a person does not come here for a long time, even to drink water, the system will issue a warning. Situations are envisaged when the user keeps the door open and does not close it behind him, or opens it, but does not enter the room. For this purpose, a comprehensive solution for the task of tracking movement has been developed, in which several sensors work together.

    In such cases, an accelerometer is connected to track the user’s movements. The joint work of its coordinate system and magnetic sensors completely solves this problem. It is adjusted by a technical specialist during the initial calibration.

    To track the user’s movements in space, the “smart bracelet” has a built-in accelerometer. Its readings are represented by three relative coordinates x, y, z. By analyzing the changes in coordinates, the device determines whether the user is moving or at rest. A fall of a person wearing the “smart bracelet” is recorded by a sharp change in the accelerometer sensor readings. At first, in order to distinguish a fall from movement in the direction of one of the coordinate axes, the difference was estimated not for each coordinate separately, but for the arithmetic mean of their changes. Later, Mikhail Evdokimov replaced this formula with a more accurate one, which uses the root of the sum of the squares of the change in coordinates. And as a threshold separating a fall from uniform movement, an experimentally calculated value was chosen, which is the average between the value of the formula when walking and when falling. When such a state of the user is recorded, the information is sent to the central microcontroller, and ultimately to the medical institution, from where the user’s condition is monitored.

    And then, after the initial setup of the system, the user lives his normal life. He does not need to be in a hospital under 24-hour supervision. While at home, he is under the close attention of the monitoring system, which will notify medical workers about deviations of the user’s vital signs from the norm. It is important that this system is reliable and works autonomously.

    — The advantage and key feature of my development is its focus on the autonomy of the system, which has its own power source and is highly energy efficient. And unlike smart watches, this is an open system that can be supplemented with other sensors if necessary. It has the ability to improve the analysis algorithms and transmit data to medical personnel. On the currently available hardware, the system can operate without recharging the source for about a week. When using more specialized and advanced hardware, it is expected that the equipment’s operating time without recharging will increase to one month. This is very important, since many elderly people often forget to charge their mobile phones, smart watches and other devices. With this approach, our solution will have minimal dependence on user activity, external power supply, communication channels and third-party platforms. Since all nodes have sufficient autonomy, system maintenance will need to be performed no more than once every six months. To achieve this, we decided to use high-capacity batteries at the hardware level, and at the software level, we created energy-efficient software code, said Mikhail Evdokimov.

    An important task of the project was to organize energy-efficient operation of the programmable “smart bracelet” by changing the operating modes of the processor and peripherals depending on the situation. The emphasis was not on hardware, but on software reduction of energy consumption. Mikhail Evdokimov studied software capabilities for managing the energy consumption modes of the ESP-32 microprocessor, which is located on the bracelet. Then the student designed a system that regulates the sleep modes, which the processor can go into depending on the situation.

    — In case of a long-term loss of connection with the central microcontroller, the bracelet goes into modem sleep mode, in which the power supply of the communication modules is turned off. After a certain period of time, the device wakes up to check the connection and, in case of failure, goes back to sleep. To minimize the loss of information, the collected sensor readings are partially stored in the bracelet’s memory and sent to the central microcontroller immediately after the connection is restored. As a result, energy consumption is reduced several times, — explained Mikhail Evdokimov.

    The user can find out that the watch has been removed from the readings of the infrared heart rate sensor. In this case, since there is no more data to send, the system first goes into modem sleep mode, and after a few seconds, if the user has not returned, the light sleep mode is activated. The watch periodically wakes up to check whether it is on the user’s hand, and either resumes its work or goes back to sleep. If there are no significant changes in the accelerometer readings, for example, when the user is sleeping, the main processor goes into deep sleep mode. At this time, the Ultra Low Power coprocessor is engaged in data processing. It can wake the main processor from sleep by a timer or in the case of active user movement when he or she wakes up. Mikhail Evdokimov clarified that the implementation of this architecture required working with the assembly language.

    To assemble the device units, the student purchased ready-made internal components and parts, and made the body of the “smart bracelet” on a 3D printer. The developed prototype of the vital signs and motor activity monitoring system has already confirmed its operability and feasibility of energy autonomy requirements in laboratory conditions, and also showed high potential for further development due to the openness and expandability of the system. The development of such solutions can improve the quality of life of people whose health requires special attention.

    Cadet education in Moscow

    In total, the cadet movement in the capital includes more than 30 thousand children. It has a banner approved by the Heraldic Council under the President of the Russian Federation, presented by the Mayor of Moscow and consecrated by the Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus’.

    In Moscow schools, cadet education is one of the types of specialized training aimed at preparing students for military and civil service. The project began in 2014 with the first 70 cadet classes. They are now open in 236 schools.

    “Cadet education is one of the most popular in Moscow schools. More than 28 thousand children study in specialized classes. They are brought up in the best cadet traditions – with an emphasis on erudition, physical development, service to the Motherland and people. Many children join volunteer organizations and choose a military career,” the Mayor of Moscow wrote in

    on your telegram channel.

    Cadets are mainly trained in daytime mode from the seventh to the 11th grade. Cadet classes with round-the-clock stay in the system Department of Education and Science of the City of Moscow are available at two cadet boarding schools (the First Moscow Cadet Corps and Cadet Boarding School No. 5), as well as at the Police College.

    There are also five cadet educational institutions of federal subordination in Moscow. These are the Moscow Suvorov Military School, the Moscow Presidential Cadet School named after M.A. Sholokhov of the National Guard of the Russian Federation, the Cadet School of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation named after Alexander Nevsky, the Moscow Cadet Corps “Boarding School for Pupils of the Ministry of Defense of Russia” and the Moscow Military Music School of the Ministry of Defense of Russia.

    Children are selected for cadet classes of city schools based on their academic achievements, physical development and health, and their degree of focus on the future choice of a military or civil servant profession. The profile of cadet education is provided by ministries and departments of the security forces, including the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, and the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. Together with them, schools determine the subject profile and a variable set of additional general development programs for cadet classes depending on the specifics of the department, and also provide in-depth study of Russian history.

    In 2024, more than 90 percent of graduates of cadet classes and institutions entered higher education institutions and secondary vocational education organizations, including law enforcement agencies.

    Every year, Moscow cadets participate in city events of patriotic orientation. Among them:

    — the parade of the Moscow city cadet movement “The connection between generations will not be broken!” dedicated to the victory in the Great Patriotic War;

    — Moscow meta-subject Olympiad “The connection between generations will not be broken”;

    — Cadet Class Day at the Victory Museum (standing watch as an honor guard at post No. 1 near the Flame of Memory and Glory on Poklonnaya Hill);

    — educational project “Cadet Day at VDNKh”;

    – Cadet Spartakiad;

    — city competition “Review of the formation and songs. “March to the victors!””;

    — events dedicated to days of military glory and memorable dates in Russia;

    — events held by public and veteran organizations of Moscow: Moscow City Council of Veterans of War, Labor, Armed Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies; Club of Heroes of the Soviet Union, Heroes of the Russian Federation and Full Cavaliers of the Order of Glory of the City of Moscow and the Moscow Region; Regional Public Fund for the Support of Heroes of the Soviet Union and Heroes of the Russian Federation named after General E.N. Kocheshkov; Interregional Public Fund for Social Security “Law and Order-Shield”.

    In the 2024/2025 academic year, 895 students of cadet classes became winners and prize-winners of the meta-subject Olympiad “The Connection between Generations Will Not Be Broken”. More than six thousand cadets passed the demonstration exam. More than eight thousand students attended classes in 20 areas of the cycle of introductory professional trials “Cadet Class – Path to the Profession” and career guidance events at partner universities.

    Among the cadets’ sporting achievements is passing the standards of the “Ready for Labor and Defense” (GTO) complex. Thus, 3,134 cadets became holders of the gold GTO badge, 2,076 people became holders of the silver badge, and 1,873 students became holders of the bronze badge.

    Patriotic education of youth

    Patriotic education is an integral part of the educational process in the Moscow education system.

    The main areas of this work include preserving the continuity of generations. Priorities include perpetuating the memory of the participants in the Great Patriotic War and implementing joint projects with veterans’ organizations. In the system of the Moscow Department of Education and Science, more than 70 schools and colleges are named after heroes. For example, in recent years, the capital’s schools have been named after V.A. Matrosov, R. Sorge, A.N. Samsonov, M.V. Grizodubova. In 2024, the name of A.S. Chufistov, director of school No. 1794 who died in the SVO, was perpetuated.

    Every year, together with the city’s veteran organizations, about a thousand joint projects are implemented, including museum-historical Olympiads, competitions, meetings with students in school museums, and courage lessons.

    Since 2001, the Heroes’ Cup review competition has been held for the best organization of patriotic education in educational organizations of the capital’s Department of Education and Science. The competition takes into account the presence of volunteer and young army units, sports and tourist sections and associations, as well as the number of children attending them. Important components of the assessment are the work of children in caring for memorial sites under the patronage of the educational organization, the quality of passing five-day training camps and fulfilling the standards of the GTO complex. All subordinate educational organizations participate in the competition.

    Museum pedagogy is developing. There are more than 1,100 museums in the capital’s schools. Of these, more than 600 are dedicated to the history of Russia, including the Great Patriotic War and the special military operation. Military personnel take an active part in organizing exhibitions: they donate personal belongings and documents to museums, and also hold meetings with children.

    In the 2024/2025 academic year, military-patriotic clubs began to develop in the Moscow education system as associations of additional education. From September to May, their number increased from 193 to more than 400. Currently, over 22 thousand people are involved in military-patriotic clubs.

    The city’s educational institutions closely cooperate with the Victory Museum on Poklonnaya Hill. Together with the largest museum complex in Russia dedicated to the history of the Great Patriotic War and World War II, a project such as the educational and historical quest “The Feat of the People” is being implemented. It is visited by 103 thousand people per year.

    The interactive excursion program is of great interest “Battle for Moscow. First Victory”The exhibition at the Victory Museum includes five three-dimensional interactive panoramas, 24 multimedia complexes, more than 1.7 thousand exhibits, including personal belongings of soldiers, generals and people’s militia fighters, over 3.5 thousand photographs, over a thousand scanned documents and over two thousand reference materials. The exhibition is visited by 60 thousand people per year.

     

    Together with the Russian Orthodox Church, the Victory Museum is holding an interactive tour, “A Journey into History. Faith in Victory.” The project tells about the contribution of believers — Orthodox and representatives of other faiths — to the fight against fascism and the approach of the Great Victory. Schoolchildren will learn about the exploits of partisan priests, the origin of the expression “sister of mercy,” and the qualities that warrior defenders cultivate in themselves. The annual number of excursionists is 25 thousand people.

    Another direction of patriotic education of youth is conducting lessons “Conversations about the important”. Each school week in educational institutions of the city begins with the raising of the State Flag of the Russian Federation and the performance of the anthem. Classes of the cycle “Conversations about the important” are held, dedicated to the peoples of Russia, its history, culture, nature.

    These classes are also held at the sites of additional education centers and cultural institutions. In September 2024, the project “Conversations about the Important in the Museum of Contemporary History of Russia” began, which was organized by the State Central Museum of Contemporary History of Russia and the Moscow Center for Educational Practices. Excursions dedicated to significant events in the history of Russia in the 19th-21st centuries were attended by more than 10 thousand schoolchildren and students;

    Young people actively participate in the volunteer movement. Every year, students from schools and colleges, under whose patronage there are more than a thousand objects of military glory, take part in citywide memorial and patronage events.

    Other areas of volunteer work include social, environmental, sports, cultural, media volunteering, professional and cyber volunteering.

    On the basis of schools and colleges, 22 support sites have been created, which are operators of volunteer projects and actions. More than 100 thousand students actively participate in volunteer squads;

    An important area of patriotic education is preparing young people for military service. Every year, 10th graders and second-year college students attend five-day training camps as part of the study of the program “Fundamentals of Security and Defense of the Homeland.”

    This year, the training camp is being held at the Patriot Health and Educational Center, the Avangard Educational and Methodological Center, the Preobrazhensky Defense and Sports Center, and military units. More than 40,000 people will take part in the training camp. The children will learn the basics of military topography and military regulations, and acquire military medical, drill, tactical, fire, and technical training skills;

    In addition, more than 55 thousand Moscow schoolchildren participate in the All-Russian military-patriotic public movement “Yunarmiya”. The capital’s Yunarmiya members take part in events held by the main headquarters of the movement. The largest of them are ceremonial events dedicated to memorable dates and days of military glory of Russia (more than 25 thousand participants), the All-Russian military-patriotic game “Zarnitsa 2.0” (more than 17 thousand participants) and the All-Russian children’s and youth festival “Voroshilov shooter” (more than five thousand participants);

    The work of directors’ education advisers is of great importance in the patriotic education of young people. This position was introduced in Moscow schools and colleges in September 2023 as part of the federal project “Patriotic Education of Citizens of the Russian Federation” of the national project “Education”. Currently, more than 1.2 thousand such specialists work in educational institutions.

    Directors’ advisors play an important role in the implementation of key federal and city projects in the field of education, as well as the development of children’s initiatives. They involve children in children’s public associations, school and student theaters, volunteer units, patriotic, sports and tourist clubs. Specialists also conduct various patronage events and courage lessons. This helps preserve the memory of the participants of the Great Patriotic War, heroes and veterans.

    Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko welcomed the participants of the General Meeting of Members of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS).

    He emphasized that the academy has always played a significant role in the development of Russia and under the leadership of Gennady Yakovlevich Krasnikov its authority is only growing stronger. In May, a board of trustees was created, headed by the head of state Vladimir Putin. It included high-level leaders, including Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin and Chairperson of the Federation Council Valentina Matviyenko.

    “I am confident that the President’s decision will allow the Russian Academy of Sciences to realize its potential in decision-making at all levels of government in the most effective way. This is especially important in the context of the national goal set by the head of state to achieve technological leadership. The Russian Academy of Sciences is solving one of the main tasks here, creating a fundamental reserve in priority areas of science. Also, now, based on the proposal of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Higher Attestation Commission will be formed,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.

    He noted that today the country has set ambitious goals that cannot be achieved without the persistent work of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It is important to ensure the continuity of fundamental science and applied solutions necessary for the creation of the most important science-intensive technologies.

    As part of the expansion of the new approach “State Task 2.0”, RAS aggregates business needs and formulates corresponding fundamental tasks for them.

    “In the 2025 budget, within the framework of the state program for scientific and technological development, 14% more money has been allocated for science than in 2024, or to be precise, 83.3 billion rubles. The main increase is in the section “fundamental scientific research” – by 50.1 billion rubles,” the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.

    He also reported that, according to surveys for last year, 79% of citizens trust the opinions of Russian scientists. Dmitry Chernyshenko emphasized the importance of maintaining the openness of science to society and noted that the driver of this work is the Russian Academy of Sciences.

    Last year, with the support of the Scientific and Technical Council (STC), lists of priority areas and the most important science-intensive technologies were formed, included in the decree of the President. An examination of regional programs of scientific and technical progress of the subjects, national projects and applications for the creation of new world-class scientific centers was carried out, which made it possible to assess the scientific component and the quality of the implementation of strategies.

    “The Academy’s expert potential is growing every year. Last year, RAS experts conducted about 80 thousand examinations, which is 2 times more than in 2022. In the future, we will ensure the expansion of the Academy’s expert work, involve RAS in the examination of the scientific component of such flagship projects as “Priority 2030″, which covers 141 universities,” said Dmitry Chernyshenko

    He congratulated the participants of the meeting on the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, drew attention to the importance of the work on preserving historical memory, which is being carried out by the Russian Academy of Sciences, and also thanked all the involved members of the academy for their participation in the work of the Government.

    President of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Academician Gennady Krasnikov, presented the results of the Academy’s activities and the most important scientific achievements of Russian scientists in 2024.

    “This meeting is special for us. In addition to the report on the activities of the academy and the presidium, at this meeting we elect new members of the Russian Academy of Sciences to our ranks. The last such elections were in 2022, so this time we have many vacancies. We expect that those who are elected to the Russian Academy of Sciences will actively work for the benefit of the academy and our country,” said Gennady Krasnikov.

    In 2025, the event will run from May 28 to 30.

    During the next two days of the General Meeting, the procedure for electing members of the Russian Academy of Sciences and foreign members of the Russian Academy of Sciences, as well as the Vice President of the Russian Academy of Sciences, will take place. In addition, a ceremonial awarding of leading Russian and foreign scientists with the highest awards will take place.

    The meeting is attended by the President of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Academician Gennady Krasnikov, the Chairperson of the Federation Council Committee on Science, Education and Culture Liliya Gumerova, the Chairperson of the State Duma Committee on Science and Higher Education Sergei Kabyshev, and the Minister of Health Mikhail Murashko. In total, more than 1,000 people are involved in the work of the meeting, including the presidents of Russian academies of education, arts, architecture and construction sciences, as well as representatives of state corporations.

    The General Meeting of the members of the Russian Academy of Sciences is the highest governing body of the RAS. At the meeting, participants highlight current areas of development of scientific thought and discuss challenges facing the state and society. Following the General Meeting, resolutions are adopted that contain instructions and recommendations to the management and departments of the Academy.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Marat Khusnullin: 25 infrastructure facilities will be restored in Antratsit, LPR, by the end of the year

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    This year, 25 infrastructure facilities, including 52.5 km of roads, will be repaired in the city of Antratsit in the Luhansk People’s Republic. The work is being carried out by the Stavropol Territory and the state company Avtodor, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported.

    This year, 25 infrastructure facilities will be repaired in the city of Antratsit in the Luhansk People’s Republic, including 52.5 km of roads

    “Both state-owned companies and the sponsoring regions are working together to create comfortable living conditions for people in the reunited regions. Stavropol Krai will repair five schools and kindergartens in the territory under its sponsorship, and renew the roofs of 17 multi-story buildings. Specialists will also replace the road surface on a 19.5-kilometer section of the Rovenki-Anthracite highway. In turn, Avtodor has begun repairing more than 30 km of the Uspenka-Anthracite road. The road is part of the route to Lugansk, but it is quite difficult to drive on it now, because the roadway resembles an obstacle course, and motorists have to make a detour through Krasny Luch,” said Marat Khusnullin.

    The road surface of the highway has not been updated for decades, so specialists will be building the road practically from scratch.

    “We have now started laying asphalt concrete on 33 km of the highway. We have already laid 12 km of the lower layer of the pavement. After the work is completed, residents of the Antratsitovsky district will receive a smooth, high-quality road surface, and the arrangement of the road. All this together will save about half an hour on the road. We will finish by the end of this year,” added Vyacheslav Petushenko, Chairman of the Board of the state-owned company Avtodor.
