  • MIL-OSI Russia: Rosneft Contributes to the Preservation of Biodiversity

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Rosneft – Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    May 22 marks the International Day for Biological Diversity, which helps draw attention to the need to preserve the richness of flora and fauna.

    Preservation of biodiversity is one of Rosneft’s key objectives in the regions where it operates. The company and its subsidiaries also implement numerous grant programs to support scientific and applied projects aimed at studying and protecting rare species of animals and plants.

    Earlier this year, the East Siberian Oil and Gas Company supported a grant project to assess the populations of rare predators in Evenkia. As part of the project, employees of the Tunguska State Nature Reserve will study how the current state of the Evenk taiga affects the populations of bears, wolves, sables, and lynxes of a species that has not previously been seen in the region. Based on the research results, a set of recommendations will be developed for organizing rational nature management in the region. Earlier, with the support of Vostsibneftegaz, the Siberian Federal University published the Red Book of Evenkia. The publication contains brief information about the appearance, habitats, lifestyle, and numbers of 45 rare and small animals in the region.

    Oilmen of RN-Vankor supported projects on the creation of a teaching aid on the key species-bioindicator of Arctic ecosystems – the wild reindeer of Taimyr, the study of the current state of the musk ox population on the peninsula, as well as the study of the state and well-being of the populations of the main commercial fish of the Taimyr reservoirs. Research of commercial fish populations is extremely important, first of all, for the indigenous peoples of the North, for whom fishing is an integral part of their traditional way of life.

    With the support of the Samara group of Rosneft enterprises – Samaraneftegaz, Kuibyshev, Novokuibyshevsk and Syzran Oil Refineries, Novokuibyshevsk Petrochemical Company, Novokuibyshevsk Oil and Additives Plant in the Samarskaya Luka National Park, ornithologists are implementing a project aimed at preserving the white-tailed eagle. This is the largest and rarest bird in the Volga region, the species is listed in the Red Book of Russia and the International Red Book. Monitoring of nesting sites has been organized on the territory of the national park, which has made it possible to identify areas with a special nature conservation regime and take measures to control the tourist flow.

    Tyumenneftegaz supports projects aimed at preserving the ecosystem of Lake Solenoye. For three years, scientists from Tyumen State University conducted comprehensive ecological and biological research. As a result, more than 450 species of animals and plants were discovered, some of which are rare and protected. Oil workers also improved the coastal area, laid eco-trails, and installed containers for household waste.

    With the support of RN-Uvatneftegaz, scientists from the Tobolsk Scientific Station of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences are studying the population of forest reindeer in the Tyumen Region. In 2022-2024, large-scale monitoring was carried out, camera traps were installed, which confirmed the presence of the endangered animal in the region. A set of measures has been developed to preserve the habitat and create conditions for the preservation and subsequent growth of the population.

    Earlier, with the support of the enterprise, the Scientific and Analytical Center for Rational Use of Subsoil named after V.I. Shpilman monitored the condition of 390 large lakes in the region, and scientists from the Tyumen Scientific Center of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences developed an electronic database of rare plants in the Uvatsky District, which included data on more than 50 species. Ornithologists from the Tyumen State University developed measures to increase the population of rare bird species and created an electronic reference book “Birds of the South of the Tyumen Region”.

    Komsomolsk Oil Refinery together with scientists from Zapovednoye Priamurye continue to implement the project “Under a Strong Wing” to preserve the Steller’s Sea Eagle listed in the Red Book. As part of the project, ornithologists installed photo and video recording devices that allow observing bird families in the reserve. In addition, during the summer, scientists will conduct research on river water samples and fish, which are the food source for birds. The information collected will form the basis for developing a set of measures to protect this rare bird, which is listed in the Red Book of Russia as vulnerable.

    During the implementation of the Sakhalin-1 project, annual monitoring of the Okhotsk population of gray whales on the north-eastern shelf of Sakhalin Island is carried out. Since 1997, the program has included census and photography of whales, acoustic monitoring, observation of the behavior of mammals, and study of their food supply. All research is carried out jointly with the country’s leading scientific organizations.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Leadership in Economics, Management and Trade: Polytechnic University Creates Platform for Interdisciplinary Dialogue

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University – Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University –

    The Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade held the All-Russian scientific-practical and educational-methodical conference “Fundamental and applied research in the field of management, economics and trade”. The conference was attended by teachers and scientists, representatives of the business community, government bodies, as well as the young academic generation – postgraduates and masters of universities. The geography of the conference covered ten regions of the Russian Federation and foreign countries: Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan.

    IPMET holds the conference for the ninth year in a row. This year, the main agenda touched upon the current issues of achieving technological leadership of Russia in the economy, management, trade, finance and economic security. Participants shared their research and experience in implementing applied solutions using modern mathematical and statistical tools, progressive digital technologies applicable to different levels of management: state, regional, industry, individual enterprises and organizations.

    The grand opening took place in the White Hall of the Polytechnic Universityplenary session “Artificial Intelligence in the Economy: Cross-Industry Solutions”. The session was moderated by the chairperson of the conference program committee, director of the Scientific and Educational Center for Information Technology and Business Analysis at Gazprom Neft, and professor at the Higher School of Engineering and Economics, Irina Rudskaya.

    The plenary session was held in the format of a panel discussion, at which the speakers touched upon current issues concerning the possibilities and problems of using artificial intelligence in various areas of the economy: industry, telecommunications, medicine, finance, education, and agriculture.

    The discussion turned out to be lively and non-trivial, since both speakers and participants were skillfully involved by the moderator in the discussion of the pressing issues of artificial intelligence, which was continued in other events of the conference.

    Arman Avetyan, Associate Professor of the Department of Management and Business at the Russian-Armenian University, who was invited to participate in the discussion, shared his experience of using artificial intelligence in the educational process during practical classes with students and postgraduates. Khamit Fattakhov, Director of Continuous Improvement of Production at Power Machines JSC, briefly spoke about the specifics of using AI tools to increase labor productivity and optimize operational processes in industry.

    Artificial intelligence goes beyond automation, creating inter-industry synergy: finance, education, industry. AI technologies not only increase efficiency, but also change management strategies, helping businesses adapt to digital challenges. That is why our conference brought together not only economists and IT specialists, but also representatives of business, healthcare, agriculture and science. Only interdisciplinary dialogue allows us to find a balance between innovation and sustainability, – says Irina Rudskaya.

    In addition to the plenary session, there were three round tables and 16 sections, including a section of the student scientific society.

    A separate section of the conference was devoted to educational and methodological issues of training personnel for strategically important sectors of the economy in modern conditions.

    Also, to celebrate the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, the conference included a section entitled “The Great Victory: Socio-Economic and Technological Aspects” with presentations on issues of economics, the social sphere and the development of technology in the war and post-war periods.

    An excursion to the Museum of History of SPbPU was organized for the conference guests, which was conducted by the museum director Valery Klimov, as well as a cultural program with a sightseeing tour of the city. The tour guides there were students from the Higher School of Service and Trade of the IPMET, majoring in Tourism and Hotel Business.

    On the last day of the conference, the head of the Department of Economic Theory Svetlana Golovkina gave a lecture on the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, “Science and Education in the Blockaded Polytechnic: a Feat of Intelligence.” The speaker clearly drew a line between human and artificial intelligence, and showed the role and significance of human thought in solving extremely complex problems during the blockade.

    The conference ended with the awarding of the winners of the competition of students’ research papers, as well as the winners and prize-winners of the competition for the support of scientific research of postgraduate students of the Institute of Mechanics and Technology, conducted with the financial support of the target capital “Economic Education” of the endowment fund of SPbPU.

    This year, when planning and organizing the conference, we set ourselves three main objectives. The first was to create a modern congress platform with a broad geographical and representative coverage for exchanging opinions and knowledge. The second was to offer and implement a lively professional discussion on topical issues of the fundamental and applied agenda for achieving Russia’s technological leadership in the economy, management and trade. And the third was to strengthen existing and establish new ties between conference participants, create conditions for effective interaction in the educational, scientific and industrial spheres. I would also like to emphasize the importance of our horizontal collaboration – the coordinated work of all structural divisions of IPMEiT in organizing the conference allowed us to use the scientific, personnel and resource potential of the institute as effectively as possible and expand the scope of participation, – summed up the results of the conference, IPMEiT Director Vladimir Shchepinin.

    Source: Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University – Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University –

    The Digital Engineering School of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University entered the first group ranking of leading engineering schools in Russia. It reflects the quality of educational programs, scientific research, the degree of development of the development program and the management system. The rating is a guideline for school teams and their technology partners, in which areas they need to improve and develop their activities.

    The first group consists of:

    Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (Moscow) National Research University ITMO (Saint Petersburg) Bauman Moscow State Technical University (Moscow) Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (Saint Petersburg) National University of Science and Technology MISIS (Moscow) Samara State Medical University (Samara) Southern Federal University (Rostov-on-Don) Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin (Ekaterinburg) Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University (Kazan) National Research Tomsk State University (Tomsk)

    Along with the universities of the Ministry of Education and Science, the first wave of the project included universities of the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Digital Development, which already at the start of the project allowed for more comprehensive coverage of key sectors of the economy. The focus of the leading engineering schools and their technology partners was on strategically important areas, including automation and artificial intelligence, digital twins and new materials, optimization of technological processes, and unmanned aircraft systems. It is important that working with leading engineering schools has greatly interested businesses, so while the volume of state funding for the first wave of schools over three years amounted to 25.1 billion rubles, extra-budgetary investments amounted to 33.3 billion rubles, noted the head of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, Valery Falkov.

    The PISH rating, formed based on the results of defenses, will allow us to further monitor the dynamics of the development of leading engineering schools.

    Let us recall that on May 15, 2025, the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU at the Council for the consideration of issues and coordination of the activities of the Advanced Engineering School presented the results of its work and development plans for two and a half years.

    The program of the SPbPU PIS “Digital Engineering” allowed us to open many new modern laboratories and scientific and educational spaces at our university, develop and launch new master’s and additional professional education programs in relevant engineering areas. I would like to note that the SPbPU PIS also expanded its effective and systematic interaction with industrial partners – high-tech companies and corporations. In addition, it was in the “Digital Engineering” PIS that the qualified partnership model was successfully tested, which formed the basis of the SPbPU development program until 2030 and in the long term until 2036. Formed teams with competencies and experience in solving breakthrough scientific and technological problems, the created scientific and scientific-technological reserve and the established effective qualified partnership with industry will help us make a breakthrough in the scientific and technological sphere, aimed at ensuring the technological leadership of our country, – commented the rector of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, chairman of the St. Petersburg branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences Andrey Rudskoy.

    As a representative of the company – industrial partner of the SPbPU PISh, Director of the Department of Scientific and Technical Activities of JSC TVEL Alexey Shishkin noted: Fuel Company TVEL has been a strategic partner of the SPbPU PISh “Digital Engineering” since the beginning of the federal project Advanced Engineering Schools. Two and a half years of our joint activities have convincingly proven that the synergy of the competencies of the country’s leading polytechnic university and a high-tech company yields outstanding results, both in the field of training engineering personnel and in terms of R & D implementation. Already in 2024, graduates of the Master’s program of the Advanced Engineering School “Digital Engineering” were employed by the company “Centrotech-Engineering”, which is part of the management circuit of Fuel Company TVEL. Training at the SPbPU PISh gives young engineers a unique opportunity to use and implement the latest technologies in their activities, influencing the development of the nuclear industry. We are especially pleased that it was with the specialists of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU that at the end of 2024 we successfully completed a three-year project that was significant for TVEL Fuel Company and the entire nuclear industry – the development of digital twins of fuel assemblies for water-moderated nuclear reactors – TVS-K PWR and TVS WWER.

    The implementation of the strategic initiative of the Government of the Russian Federation “Advanced Engineering Schools” in the period from 2022 to 2024 was carried out within the framework of the federal project “Advanced Engineering Schools” of the state program “Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation”.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: NSU and NSTU students create a universal translator for business and tourists

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Novosibirsk State University – Novosibirsk State University –

    NSU and NSTU students Kirill Voinov and Nikita Bychkov are developing a new application for instant simultaneous translation of spoken speech from Russian into foreign languages and vice versa. The product is intended for both tourists and businesses, and will allow communication with foreigners without a language barrier: the user will hear the translation in headphones, and his words will be voiced in another language through the smartphone speaker.

    The neural network will know Russian, Chinese and English and specialize in translation accuracy and ease of use. To do this, the product will have a complex of neural networks that translate speech and recognize accents, filter noise and synthesize a voice that is 60% similar to the original, and in a conversation of more than two people, the program will voice their words in different voices so that the user understands who is speaking.

    Such technologies are becoming popular against the backdrop of globalization, growth of tourism and international business contacts. Such a solution is becoming necessary in conditions when personal meetings are already half replaced by online negotiations and the dependence on correct translation increases. The development of artificial intelligence and neural networks has made it possible to bring closer the future with one language for the whole world – now it is not science fiction, but a tool that works.

    —This is a step higher than Google Translate voice. Our application will perform full simultaneous translation of speech, with a minimum number of delays and high accuracy. We have already achieved 80% accuracy and continue to improve the program, — emphasized the project manager, a bachelor’s student Faculty of Economics, NSU Kirill Voinov.

    The second developer on the team and project partner, Nikita Bychkov, represents the Faculty of Automation and Computer Engineering at NSTU.

    The developers will launch two versions of the product:

    — for travelers and everyday communication — a translator app for Android;

    — for companies — a complex program with a focus on business translation, taking into account terms and context.

    Kirill notes that the application uses new technologies for Russia – a morpheme tokenizer – a special translator from human to neural network language, which will allow to understand Russian better than Western neural networks. For a month now, the team has been developing the main neural network translator, then will train neural network assistants, and then launch the application by the end of September – beginning of October 2025. A commercial product for business will appear in early 2026. Before the official release, the project will undergo a series of free pilot tests with corporate partners.

    The developers also emphasize that in Russia, only Yandex is developing such technologies. In other countries, such functions are only being implemented and so far work in the subtitle format or are limited to individual devices, as in the future, the Apple application.

    Kirill spoke about the development prospects of the project:

    — We want to determine where our product is needed: either in the app market, then we will focus on expanding the number of languages and adding colloquial expressions and slang, or our translator will be of interest to exporters, then we will expand the dictionary through specialized terminology packages. Most likely, we will start with the oil and gas industry.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: NSU scientists have developed an innovative approach to creating materials for next-generation organic light-emitting diodes

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Novosibirsk State University – Novosibirsk State University –

    An innovative approach to the accelerated creation of materials with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), which can lead to a significant improvement in the characteristics of next-generation organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), was developed by researchers at the Laboratory of Low Carbon Chemical Technologies Faculty of Natural Sciences, Novosibirsk State University. The researchers presented a new method for modeling the properties of so-called multiresonant TADF emitters, which are characterized by a narrow spectral band and high luminescence efficiency, in the article “Quantum-Chemical Simulation of Multiresonance Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Materials Based on B,N-Heteroarenes Using Graph Neural Networks,” published in the international journalThe Journal of Physical Chemistry A“.

    — Organic light-emitting diodes are a modern technology that each of us encounters on a daily basis. For example, even now, reading this text from a smartphone or computer screen. Each pixel of the display is a small “bulb” that glows when an electric current is applied to it. The materials for such miniature “bulbs” are completely organic emitter molecules consisting of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and sometimes other chemical elements. Due to their organic nature, such materials make it possible to make very light, bright, contrasting and energy-efficient displays for smartphones, laptops, smart watches and many other devices. The world is actively searching for such new effective materials that can be used in OLED technology. Computer modeling allows us to predict many properties with fairly good accuracy and study the properties of molecules in silico before they are synthesized in a flask. Such studies are also conducted in our laboratory, — explained the head of the Laboratory of Low-Carbon Chemical Technologies of the NSU Natural Sciences (ORËL ResearchLab) Evgeny Mostovich.

    The new study, conducted by junior research fellows of the laboratory Daria Tarakanovskaya and Evgeny Mostovich, focuses on the development of materials using advanced modeling methods with the use of graph neural networks. These networks allow for the efficient prediction of optoelectronic properties of molecules, which significantly accelerates the process of developing new molecules. The basis for the creation of new emitters were multiresonant molecules, which, due to the uniqueness of their structure, demonstrate improved fluorescence properties.

    — Modern OLED emitters are a pair of electron donor and electron acceptor groups connected via a bridge. This union of donor and acceptor provides a minimal difference in energy between the two excited states of such a molecule — singlet and triplet — and allows transforming all “dark” (non-emitting) triplet states into singlet states capable of emitting light by TADF. However, such a design has a significant drawback, since the donor and acceptor parts are not rigidly connected to each other, and the geometries of the excited and non-excited states are very different, a lot of energy is spent on this change, leading to a broadening of the emission spectrum of the molecule. The width of the spectrum directly affects the color perception of the pixel, for example, it becomes not blue, but blue-green, — said Daria Tarakanovskaya.

    In their research, the developers of the method used a new type of dyes – multiresonance. In them, the donor and acceptor are presented not as functional groups, but as atoms. For example, nitrogen and boron, linked in a certain way into one carbon skeleton. This creates a very rigid structure, and the alternation of boron and nitrogen atoms leads to the multiresonance effect and allows obtaining effective emitters with a narrow emission band. However, classical quantum-chemical modeling of such dyes requires very resource-intensive computational methods, so the scientists decided to use graph neural networks.

    — We are striving to create materials that could significantly increase the efficiency of OLEDs by taking advantage of the multiresonance effect. The results of our study show that the use of graph neural networks can significantly speed up the design process of new multiresonance TADF emitters, which opens up new opportunities for creating more efficient and durable devices, — explained Evgeny Mostovich.

    An important aspect of the study was the study of the influence of the structure of molecules (specify, molecules of what) on the nature of triplet and singlet states, as well as their energy, which is critical for increasing the speed of TADF. Scientists have found that adding oxygen and sulfur atoms to the structure of such molecules enhances this interaction, and this in turn leads to improved radiation characteristics and an increase in the quantum yield of photoluminescence. Thanks to the developed method, scientists have selected a number of the most promising molecules, and now synthetic chemists, who have already obtained the first result, will take up the matter. The molecule they synthesized has a bright green fluorescence with a very narrow emission band of only 25 nm. Now the goal is blue and red colors, which are so necessary for a full-color OLED display.

    The work was carried out within the framework of a project supported by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation. It opens up new prospects in the field of developing organic light-emitting diodes with high color purity and efficiency. This project has the potential to significantly contribute to the development of lighting technology and electronics, offering more efficient solutions for future display and lighting technologies.

    BEIJING, May 22 (Xinhua) — Frozen food was shipped from Russia to China via the Tongjiang Port recently for the first time, marking progress in the development of the local cold chain logistics sector, the Yangguang news portal of China Media Corp. reported Wednesday.

    A ton of Russian ice cream worth 100,000 yuan was transported through the border point and, after customs clearance, was placed in a 20,000 square meter cold chain bonded warehouse.

    Tongjiang City in Heilongjiang Province in northeastern China borders the Jewish Autonomous Region of Russia. With the completion of the Tongjiang-Nizhneleninskoye railway bridge across the Heilongjiang River /Amur/ in 2022, Tongjiang has become a new railway checkpoint on the border between China and Russia. Water, road and rail traffic has now opened through it.

    The project to build a frozen food warehouse in Tongjiang City was approved in July last year. Its commissioning will further expand the range of agricultural products imported from Russia and optimize the cross-border cold chain logistics system. -0-

    TIANJIN, May 22 (Xinhua) — U.S. retail giant Walmart has started construction of its Sam’s Club, the largest in terms of operating area in northern China. The launch ceremony for the facility was held in Tianjin on May 20, demonstrating the U.S. retail giant’s readiness to further explore China’s vast consumer market.

    The new Sam’s Club, with a total floor area of 25,000 square meters, will operate under a multi-channel model, combining one physical store with 20 digital service centers when it opens in 2026, to meet consumer demand for diversified and high-end products in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The new Sam’s Club will also be Walmart’s third such store in Tianjin, as Walmart views Tianjin as the most important strategic city in its development of northern China.

    Since Walmart opened its first store in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, southern China, in 1996, the total number of its stores has now reached 55 across China, with gross annual sales of more than 100 billion yuan (about $13.9 billion) in 2024.

    Data released by Walmart showed that its net sales in China reached $6.7 billion in the first quarter of this year, up 22.5 percent year-on-year.

    “We are very proud of Sam’s Club’s growth in China,” Christina Zhu, president and chief operating officer of Walmart China, said at the company’s investment call last month. She said eight Sam’s Club stores are expected to report revenue growth of $500 million or more each this year.

    Walmart has ramped up its investment in China in recent years, announcing in December 2023 a plan to open six to seven Sam’s Club stores in China each year. It currently has more than 10 such facilities under construction in Beijing, Guangdong, and Zhejiang.

    Sam’s Club’s successful development is directly related to the continued expansion of imports into China, which set a new record in 2024 and reached 18 trillion yuan.

    China, as a super-scale market with a population of 1.4 billion, has maintained its status as the second largest global consumer goods market and the world’s largest online retail market for more than a decade. In the first quarter of 2025, the total retail volume of consumer goods reached 12.47 trillion yuan, an increase of 4.6 percent.

    The advantages of China’s mega market lie in aspects such as the overall size of the economy, market capacity, industrial system and human capital, said Yu Yongding, an economist with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, adding that the multifaceted advantages have made the Chinese economy more resilient and competitive.

    Despite the intensification of global protectionist obstacles, 12,603 enterprises with foreign capital were opened in China in the first three months of this year. In March, the volume of actual foreign investment in the country increased by 13.2 percent compared to March 2024.

    “Multinationals like Walmart are voting with their capital for confidence in the viability of the Chinese economy and the attractiveness of its market,” Yu Yongding said. -0-

    SHENZHEN, May 22 (Xinhua) — China’s first offshore carbon dioxide capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) project was put into operation on Thursday in the Pearl River Estuary Basin in southern China, according to China National Offshore Oil Corp (CNOOC), the country’s largest offshore oil and gas producer.

    The project, located on the Enping 15-1 platform, is designed to capture associated carbon dioxide generated during oil field development, then purify and inject it into a supercritical state. The treated carbon dioxide is then injected into underground oil reservoirs. Such technologies can increase oil production and capture carbon at the same time. This innovative approach has created a new model for the utilization of marine energy.

    The Enping 15-1 platform is currently Asia’s largest offshore oil production platform, located approximately 200 km southwest of Shenzhen and operating at depths of approximately 90 m. Peak oil production from the group of fields operating in the area exceeds 7,500 tons per day.

    CCUS is a new technology for low-carbon, highly efficient development of fossil fuels. There are currently 65 commercial CCUS projects operating worldwide. Most are onshore, with only a small number operating offshore. -0-

    Source: Government of the Russian Federation – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev invited Deputy Chairman of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China Zhang Guoqing and Chinese colleagues to visit the Kuril Island of Shumshu in September and take part in the festive events to mark the 80th anniversary of the Victory over militaristic Japan.

    “On the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, we are creating a memorial complex on Shumshu Island dedicated to the Kuril landing operation. Shumshu is one of the islands of the Kuril chain. In fact, World War II ended on this island. The Kwantung army was routed. Our soldiers routed superior enemy forces, demonstrated mass heroism, landed in the water with full equipment and attacked tanks for a long time up to the heights where the firing points were located. If you are interested in the event related to the opening of the memorial complex, we are ready to synchronize our actions with your embassy,” said Yuri Trutnev.

    On the instructions of Deputy Prime Minister – Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev, in mid-May the working group visited the Kuril Island of Shumshu to monitor the implementation of the instructions of the President of Russia on holding events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory over militarist Japan and the end of World War II. The working group included representatives of the Presidential Administration, the Plenipotentiary Representative of the Far East, the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East, and the Ministry of Culture of Russia. The delegation assessed the readiness of the sites to organize a summer expedition, as well as to create an open-air memorial.

    The first stage of the military-historical memorial complex is dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory and the victory over militarist Japan. The complex, dedicated to the Kuril landing operation, is being created on the instructions of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The work is being carried out under the supervision of Deputy Prime Minister and Plenipotentiary Representative Yuri Trutnev. The working group for the implementation of the instructions of the head of state is headed by Sakhalin Region Governor Valery Limarenko and Head of the Presidential Directorate for Public Projects Sergei Novikov.

    “The team of the Center for Contemporary History, together with the Russian Military Historical Society, is preparing for the work that will take place this summer on the restoration and preservation of the military equipment present on Shumshu. We believe it is fundamentally important to preserve the tanks in the form in which they are now. We are talking about preserving the current position of the tanks. We will be as careful as possible about how they look now. In addition, we have engineering tasks that concern topographic work, aerial photography of the island, and historical study of materials. We plan to make an interactive map of the island by August based on the materials that will be found in archives and historical sources and obtained here as a result of field work,” said Ivan Anokhin, director of the Center for Contemporary History and geodetic engineer.

    The events on Shumshu will take place during the summer of 2025 and will be dedicated to the Kuril landing operation. A search expedition, a solemn funeral ceremony for the burial of the remains of Soviet soldiers discovered during the search operations, an all-Russian physical culture event “Extreme cross-triathlon “Height 171” (swimming, cycling and running), hiking trips for the youth movement “More than a Journey”, a reconstruction of “Storming Shumshu Island”, as well as a concert program, including in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, are planned.

    The key events of the opening of the memorial complex and the funeral ceremony of the soldiers’ remains will take place on August 18. A military-historical reconstruction will also take place then. About 150 people from two dozen regions of Russia and friendly countries will take part in it.

    “The Russian Military Historical Society received a task from the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, within the framework of the Presidential Decree on the creation of a memorial complex here, to carry out work on organizing all events related to the Ministry of Culture in 2025, and to formulate a concept for the development of the island up to 2030. Several strategic issues related to the objects that we will restore this year need to be resolved. The Nevsky Batalist company is making an entrance area that will symbolize the Kuril landing operation itself. We are currently looking for a place where this structure could be installed. Our task is to improve all cultural heritage sites that are located on the island today. These are graves, a mass grave, a grave of two Heroes of the Soviet Union, and a pillbox. Another of our main tasks is to work with the military equipment that remained here since the Great Patriotic War. We plan to connect military facilities with a road and path network. An important task is to reorganize the museum dedicated to the Severokurilsk landing operation in Severokurilsk,” said Elena Sinitsina, executive director of the Museum of Military History of the Russian Military Historical Society.

    During the working visit, an inspection of the sites of the military-historical memorial complex dedicated to perpetuating the memory of the soldiers of the Kuril landing operation was conducted, as well as the placement of a thematic installation and captured tanks in the open air. The placement of a modular structure for the display of artifacts found during the search operations and the burial of the remains of Red Army and Navy soldiers found during the search operations were discussed. The readiness of the sites for organizing the placement of summer camps for the participants of the search expedition, museum workers, employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, doctors, and youth tourist groups was assessed. The issues of creating a road and path network between the island’s sites and cultural and educational routes were considered.

    The transport scheme for delivering cargo and equipment to Shumshu was developed by the Sakhalin Region government together with the Kamchatka Region government and the Russian Ministry of Defense. It provides for the delivery of property to Severo-Kurilsk by sea vessels. Rolling barges will be used for further transportation of cargo to Shumshu, where there are no hydraulic structures. A total of 30 units of equipment have been delivered to the island since the end of March.

    Yu.P. Trutnev: Today, today everything was connected with a report on the results of the work. For me, this is always a slightly difficult topic, because it can always be evaluated from two sides. As in the old fable, the glass is half full or half empty. When you summarize the results of the work, and we summed up the results of the ministry in several years, the first question that I ask myself is related to whether the right path is chosen and how we are moving. I will answer right away – correct. It is impossible to develop the territory based on how much money they will give from the federal budget, they must be earned. Hundreds of billions of new investments, hundreds of new enterprises, an increase in the almost two -time budget of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation – this suggests that the economy of the Arctic is growing and its growth creates conditions for improving people’s lives, to ensure their jobs, to ensure normal wages, for the construction of new facilities, and this is right. At the same time, it seems to me that this would be a very bad story if we approached the estimates of our work only in terms of what we managed. It seems to me that it is also important to find courage in order to answer the question of what failed. I do not agree with all the comments that were heard today. For example, when colleagues say: “Let’s allocate more time to relocation.” The question immediately arises: do we want people to live in the Arctic or to leave? If we want to give more money for relocation, then they will leave. This is probably not the best solution. At the same time, a number of questions sounded, which was noted in speeches, which concerns the lives of people. We must think about these people. We must make decisions that will improve the lives of people who will answer all the questions that are facing them. Actually, we work for this.

    About climate change

    Yu. P. Trutnev: Today, unfortunately, global cooperation in the field of climate conservation has been destroyed. No one talks about emissions, carbohydrate balance, and so on. I want to emphasize that Russia meticulously fulfills its obligations to the world community. Not a single enterprise in our country can do without a state environmental assessment, without discussions with people. This simply does not happen. But doing this alone is of little use. We read there what is happening. A huge ice floe fell and not on our territory at all, it itself has already changed the conditions. Other processes are also underway in nature. And these issues cannot be addressed alone. To be honest, I hope that humanity will come to its senses, will begin to understand that we all live together on one planet, that we have certain neighborly responsibilities, and that if we do not pay attention to them, then everyone will have problems. Therefore, yes, of course, we need plans to prepare territories for climate change. But, I repeat once again, not all general trends can be overcome only by the efforts of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. It won’t work like that.

    A.O. Chekunkov: Today, many issues related to climate change, the influence of climate on the melting of permafrost. It is important that this issue is actively discussed. The movement in the form of the creation of a background monitoring system has already begun on it. A large monitoring system for all 5 million square kilometers is already being created. These are 140 monitoring stations created by the Ministry of Natural Resources. There are presidential instructions related to the creation of geotechnical monitoring systems – already directly in relation to buildings. As part of the preparation of master plans of the supporting settlements of the Arctic, on behalf of the President, a register of the best practices of life and management in the north has been formed. One of the components is just technologies related to work, with life at many years of permafrost. Business, our largest companies successfully operate industrial enterprises, trunk gas -reflees, build ports on these complex soils. Our task now is to tighten the social sphere, to ensure the safety of life and work of people. There are such technologies. For example, there are technologies using chemical reagents in closed pipe systems, that is, not energy -intensive, allowing you to freeze soils for a long time. They are actively used in Norilsk and Salekhard under objects of large companies. The general plan for adaptation to permafrost will be formed before the end of the year. An important evidence that this problem is really priority is that today it was discussed not only with the relevant ministry or with some one ministry. In fact, today most of the government members kept a joint answer. These were representatives of many fouvas. Under the leadership of Yuri Petrovich Trutnev and the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Construction, and the Ministry of Defense, and, of course, we will solve this problem along with all the regions of the Arctic.

    Number of vessels along the Northern Sea Route

    Yu.P. Trutnev: There is a problem of shortage of ships, especially cargo ships. About 50 ships are not yet provided with construction capacity. This problem should be solved together with the Ministry of Industry.

    Seasonally adjusted monthly price growth continued to slow in April. Non-food prices remained almost unchanged over the month, but food and services prices continued to rise, albeit more slowly.

    Annual inflation fell in April but still significantly exceeds the target. The Bank of Russia will continue to maintain the monetary policy tightness necessary to return inflation to 4% in 2026. Further decisions on the key rate will depend on the speed and sustainability of the decline in inflation and inflation expectations.

    “Government Hour” in the State Duma, dedicated to current issues of socio-economic and infrastructural development of the Arctic zone of Russia

    Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation – Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev delivered a report at a meeting of the State Duma as part of the “government hour” dedicated to current issues of socio-economic and infrastructural development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation.

    “Today we are discussing the development of the Arctic – a territory that the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has defined as a geostrategic territory, and the future of not only our country, but the entire world depends on its development. We have already talked about the richest mineral reserves of the Arctic, the Northern Sea Route, and the military-strategic potential. Today, on Polar Explorer Day, we must remember those people thanks to whom the Arctic was opened to Russia and Russia has grown with Arctic territories. For more than 500 years, Russia has been the world’s leading Arctic power. Russian explorers and pioneers – from Dmitry Gerasimov and Semyon Chelyuskin to Ivan Papanin and Artur Chilingarov – ensured the exploration and development of the Arctic.

    Today, in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, complex mining projects are being implemented, high-tech enterprises and liquefied natural gas plants are being built, modern research stations and floating nuclear power plants are being created, and new nuclear icebreakers are being laid down at shipyards.

    All this is the result of great work of people. Those people who live in Murmansk and Arkhangelsk, Norilsk and Naryan-Mar, Anadyr and Salekhard.

    What has the Russian Government done to develop the Arctic zone?

    The foundation was the work on attracting investments. I will say again, I am sure that this is the right start, because without earning money, but only asking for it from the budget, we are unlikely to achieve any success. The largest special economic zone in the world has been created. In creating it, we relied on the experience of the Far East. The Arctic zone of the Russian Federation is better assembled than the preferential zones of the Far East. We already had experience, and what could be done better, what could be differentiated, for example, by the direction of investments, has already been done in the Arctic.

    The region has begun implementing more than a thousand investment projects with a total investment volume of more than 2 trillion rubles. 800 billion of them have already been invested in the economy. 293 new enterprises have started operating in the territory of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation.

    I consider it very important that the income of the subjects of the Russian Federation has begun to grow. This is precisely the money that can be spent on medicine, roads, schools and other needs of the people. The total volume of income received by the consolidated budgets of the subjects of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation has grown by almost 70%.

    Over the past 5 years, within the framework of the implementation of national projects and a single presidential subsidy, more than 60 new hospitals and clinics, 48 schools and kindergartens, 17 sports centers have been built in the Arctic. Decisions have been made to create new university campuses in Murmansk and Arkhangelsk.

    3.4 million square meters of new housing were built, which made it possible to provide 57 thousand families with new comfortable apartments and houses. Thanks to the mechanism of preferential Arctic mortgages, the extension of which the President supported, 13 thousand families in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation improved their housing conditions. 9 thousand people received a plot of land under the Arctic Hectare program.

    As part of the ZATO renovation program, 161 apartment buildings, 37 educational institutions, more than 21 km of roads, 4 housing and communal services facilities were renovated, 14 youth centers were opened, and more than 40 courtyards and public areas were improved.

    The economic axis of the Arctic development is the Northern Sea Route. The Russian government has approved a plan for the development of the NSR until 2035. It provides for the construction of 10 icebreakers, 14 seaports and terminals, 3 railway lines, 46 emergency rescue vessels, and 4 emergency rescue centers.

    I would like to emphasize that the work on developing the NSR creates conditions for the implementation of production plans for companies such as NOVATEK, Gazprom, Norilsk Nickel, and Lukoil. The taxes paid by these companies alone will ensure the creation of a new tax base in the amount of 13 trillion rubles by 2035. This is the foundation on which we will continue to develop.

    A new challenge for us is the implementation of master plans for 16 Arctic core settlements. The master plans provide for the creation and reconstruction of more than 600 infrastructure facilities – roads, airports, housing and communal services, healthcare, culture, sports and leisure facilities – at a total cost of 3.7 trillion rubles, including 850 billion rubles from the federal budget.

    All master plans have been prepared and reported to the President at the International Arctic Forum. In accordance with the instructions of the head of state, sections with master plan activities have been created in new national projects of Russia, which has already provided financing for plans in the amount of 106 billion rubles, and taking into account the money that will come from writing off 2/3 of the debt to the subjects on budget loans and treasury infrastructure loans, the amount of co-financing already amounts to 172 billion rubles.

    I would like to say right away that this is not enough for us. On the one hand, never before has money come to the Arctic in such a volume. On the other hand, regarding the plans that we must implement, it is not enough. In this regard, I would like to emphasize that two days ago we received letters from some ministries stating that they cannot provide these funds in their area of responsibility. We will not agree with these answers, and we will strive to ensure that the President’s order is implemented in full. Especially since the insufficient funds for the Arctic were announced by the very departments that are the most complained about.

    In conclusion, I would like to say that we understand very well that not everything has been done. A lot needs to be done for the Arctic to develop, for the Far East to develop. I am confident that together we will solve all the tasks set.”

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Marat Khusnullin: The start of the second tunnel excavation during the construction of the Avtozavodskaya metro line has been given in Nizhny Novgorod

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    In Nizhny Novgorod, a tunnel boring machine has started working in the second tunnel for the construction of the Avtozavodskaya metro line

    In Nizhny Novgorod, a tunnel boring machine has started working in the second tunnel for the construction of the Avtozavodskaya metro line on the section from the Sennaya station to the Ploshchad Svobody station. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

    “The metro is one of the most convenient and reliable types of public transport for large modern cities. The metro not only relieves the streets of traffic jams, but also radically changes the quality of the urban environment – it makes travel fast and comfortable for millions of people, stimulates the development of new districts, and increases the investment attractiveness of territories. In Russia, the metro is developing in different regions. For example, in Nizhny Novgorod, two new stations are being built using infrastructure budget loans to extend the Avtozavodskaya metro line. It is predicted that they will be used by about 12.5 million people per year. Metro builders have already completed the right tunnel from the Sennaya station to the Ploshchad Svobody station and have begun the left one. It is extremely important now not to slow down and complete this significant transport project for residents and visitors of the city,” said Marat Khusnullin.

    The Deputy Prime Minister added that at Freedom Square the exits from the vestibules will be located near the opera house and the park where the monument to the heroes and victims of the 1905 revolution is located. The exits from the metro at Sennaya are planned near the cable car, onto Sechenov, Bolshaya Pecherskaya, Rodionov streets and to the G.I. Petrovsky Plant.

    Nizhny Novgorod Region Governor Gleb Nikitin noted that the metro builders have currently picked up the required pace of mining operations. “Over the past month, we have completed a large range of works – from dismantling equipment from the finished right tunnel to fully assembling the shield at Sennaya for the new tunnel. Extending the metro to the historical part of Nizhny Novgorod is a strategic step in terms of improving the transport infrastructure of the million-plus city. An infrastructure cluster with a transport hub will be created at Sennaya Square. The current temporary inconveniences will ensure comfort for residents and visitors of the city in the future and for a long time,” said Gleb Nikitin.

    “The start of the second tunnel boring in the Nizhny Novgorod metro is a landmark event for the development of the region’s transport infrastructure. This confirms the effectiveness of the chosen strategy for the development of urban infrastructure. The Government of the Russian Federation pays special attention to the modernization of the regional transport system, and infrastructure budget loans have become the very unique instrument that allows for the implementation of such large-scale projects as the construction of the metro. It is important to note that this is not an isolated case. IBCs are successfully used for the construction of the metro in other regions, providing a modern transport system,” said First Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Alexander Lomakin.

    The first transfer tunnel was completed in February of this year. The 80-meter tunnel boring machine was dismantled in the dismantling chamber and transported back to the starting pit at Sennaya. At a depth of 13 to 25 m, 1,500 m must be passed, laying 1,072 rings of high-precision lining, in difficult soil conditions.

    The work is being carried out by the Mosproekt-3 group of companies. Until the completion of the work, tunneling will be carried out according to schedule around the clock.

    In addition to the Avtozavodskaya line in Nizhny Novgorod, a project to extend the Sormovsko-Meshcherskaya metro line – the construction of a new station “Sormovskaya” – is also being implemented under the IBC program, operated by the Territorial Development Fund.
