    In 2024, 115 thousand people were trained at the Personnel Center of the Moscow City Health Department – more than 70 percent of the number of doctors who improved their qualifications.

    Training courses in all areas

    The Personnel Center of the Moscow City Health Department was opened in 2021 at 8 Uspensky Lane. It assesses the knowledge and skills of doctors when applying for jobs in city medical institutions to determine their further individual development trajectory, conducts primary specialized accreditation and certification to obtain a qualification category; obtains the status of “Moscow doctor”, “Moscow nurse” and “Moscow medical brother”.

More than 10 thousand doctors working according to this emergency care standard have already improved their knowledge and skills in the field of diagnostics and treatment of injuries, burns, frostbite, poisoning, exacerbations of chronic diseases, including those threatening the patient’s life.

    About four thousand people took part in the training dedicated to the creation of a value-oriented environment in city polyclinics in accordance with the new Moscow polyclinic standard. This is about introducing such concepts as patient-focusedness, trust, respect, teamwork, goodwill, etc. into the daily practice of medical workers.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: What humanitarian aid do entrepreneurs send to the SVO zone in the spring?

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Moscow store owners are collecting humanitarian supplies to send to the special military operation (SVO) zone. The parcels contain medicines, first aid supplies, and clothing for the changeable spring weather. In addition, through volunteers and charitable foundations, money is transferred to servicemen to buy necessary goods.

    Thus, employees of a grocery store and a shopping center in the Mozhaisk district regularly transfer funds to volunteers to purchase medicines. Three supermarkets in the Kuntsevo district send medicines, regular and thermal underwear, and warm shoes to the fighters. All parcels to the SVO zone are delivered by a local resident – a participant in the special operation, who returns to the capital for the duration of his vacation.

    The owner of a small retail outlet in the Levoberezhny district donated food products, camouflage nets and medicines to the Luhansk People’s Republic through a charitable foundation.

    Employees of shopping centers in the Bibirevo, Severnoye Chertanovo and Butyrsky districts collected medicines and first aid supplies for military personnel.

    The shopping center in Teply Stan became the record holder for the amount of medicines, food products and grocery goods sent to the cities of the Luhansk People’s Republic – its tenants and employees transferred more than 4.5 tons of humanitarian aid.

    Hats, jackets and socks

    Entrepreneurs send clothes, shoes, insoles and socks, including those with thermoregulation, to the SVO zone. These products provide comfort in any weather conditions.

    Such humanitarian aid was collected by employees of a shoe store in Golyanovo, a fixed-price store in Severnoye Izmailovo, and four shopping and entertainment centers in Kurkino and Mitino. The parcels also included insulated rubber boots.

    One of the largest humanitarian aid shipments was sent to the combat zone from Ochakovo-Matveevskoye – a local trading house gave the military personnel more than two thousand T-shirts and vests.

    Tons of winter and demi-season clothing were handed over to the participants of the special operation by employees of a shopping mall in Novogireyevo, a textile store for the whole family in Strogino, and four retail outlets in Yuzhny Chertanovo.

    Owners of capital shops also care about residents of new regions. For example, tenants of a shopping centre in the Chertanovo Severnoye district collected children’s clothes and clothing for pregnant women from the Donetsk People’s Republic.

    Owners of Moscow shops, shopping malls, car dealerships and other service establishments, as well as Moscow restaurateurs, have been sending humanitarian aid to the combat zone since the first days of the Second World War. The parcels contain products that have a long shelf life: canned meat, fish and vegetables, tons of various cereals – from rice and buckwheat to pearl barley, pasta, as well as sweets (cookies, candies, chocolate) and much more.

    Entrepreneurs also donate building materials and even military equipment, including quadcopters and entire convoys of vehicles.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Three old eclectic style buildings in Moscow have been recognized as architectural monuments

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Three capital houses from the late 19th and early 20th centuries have been included in the Unified State Register of Cultural Heritage Sites. Among them are the mansion of E.F. Lopatina on Maly Karetny Lane (building 11, building 1), the mansion of A.V. Demidov on Sadovaya-Kudrinskaya Street (building 17, building 1), and the mansion of N.V. Urusova on Denezhny Lane (building 16, building 1). Previously, they had the intermediate status of identified cultural heritage sites.

    The two-story residential building with a basement and attic in Maly Karetny Lane was built in 1889 by order of peasant Ekaterina Lopatina and according to the design of architect Yakov Makhonin. In 1912, the property on which this house is located was acquired by Yakov Alshvang, a first guild merchant and hereditary honorary citizen. He developed part of the territory of his property as a production zone and opened a sewing factory. After 1917, the experimental technical sewing factory No. 5 named after Profintern (VSNKh) was located here.

    The house of Ekaterina Lopatina is classified as an eclectic architectural style. Rich stucco decor has been preserved on the main facade of the building. Its high window openings are decorated with triangular and bow-shaped sandriks on brackets, they are decorated with stucco in the form of wreaths and garlands. On the facade, you can see a soffit cornice with denticles (teeth) that rest on brackets with lion masks and mascarons. The front entrance is decorated with a cast-iron canopy. A gate with a wicket adjoins the main facade.

    Another mansion, recognized as an architectural monument, is located on Sadovaya-Kudrinskaya Street. It has two floors with a semi-basement. The building was erected in 1912, also in the eclectic style, according to the design of the architect Konstantin Razumov for the textile manufacturer Alexander Demidov.

    This house has a complex architectural form. In its appearance, you can see features of both neo-Gothic, such as a pediment with a gable end, and Art Nouveau: mosaic inserts, reliefs, panels, decorative metal elements. The main facade of the house faces the Garden Ring.

    The interior decor in neoclassical style with eclectic elements has been well preserved to this day: wood paneling, ornamental paintings, coffered ceilings made of bog oak in the lobby and dining room, bas-reliefs, stucco and carved stone decor, artificial marble finishing. Built-in furniture in individual rooms has also been preserved.

    Another example of eclecticism, which also received a new protected status, is a one-story mansion with a semi-basement floor on Denezhny Lane. It was built in 1899 as a residential building for Natalia Urusova according to the design of the architect Karl Treiman.

    The historical design of the building’s facades in the neoclassical style has been well preserved. The interiors of the house are made in the eclectic style: stucco and drawn plaster decor, tinted ornamental reliefs with plant motifs, relief dessus-de-portes (decorative panels above the doors), stucco cornices, lampshades and rosettes, panel parquet. In addition, the building has preserved the historical front marble staircase with marble columns at the base and a metal railing made in the form of a complex pattern, as well as stoves and a marble fireplace. The protected status also applies to the openwork metal fence of the mansion, designed by architect Stanislav Kuchinsky.

    Metropolitan Department of Cultural Heritage carries out consistent work to identify cultural heritage sites and their inclusion in the register. Over the past 14 years, more than 700 buildings have been included. The status ensures state protection – such objects cannot be demolished. Their owners and tenants do not have the right to carry out any work without the consent of the city. In addition, they must do everything possible to preserve these buildings.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Textiles as Philosophy: How the Triennial in Tsaritsyno Weaves Stories

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    The Fabric of Art: How the Triennial Participants Were Selected

    The triennial is a competition program that takes place every three years. This year, the triennial reveals a theme with a poetic and multi-layered name: “Diversity of connections. Threads, breaks, connections.” Hence the interesting division into sections and halls, which in itself is figurative and excites the imagination of the visitor

    “The first hall is dedicated to the breaking and restoration of connections, the second one explores the connection of opposites. The third hall represents the biological connections of man with nature, and the fourth one is addressed to the internal connections with oneself,” lists Anna Karganova, the curator of the triennial.

    There are only eight halls for the competition program and another five for the non-competition program.

    The selection of participants for the fifth triennial took eight months — from February to October 2023. Artists from Russia and abroad (Belarus, Moldova, Kazakhstan and other countries) sent 175 works. After a careful selection, the jury included more than 80 works in the competition program: seven large-scale installations for the park area, 32 modern textile objects and 43 traditional tapestries. Most of the works are exclusive, the artists created them specifically for the triennial.

    “This year the competition is held in four nominations. These are “Best Work in Traditional Tapestry Technique”, “Best Art Object in the Interior”, “Best Art Object in the Park”, “Best Student Work”. Therefore, most of the works presented at our exhibition were created specifically for it,” the curator explains.

    Not just wool and linen: experimenting with materials

    The main condition is handwork. The material can be textile, traditional, or completely unexpected. Reinforcement mesh, aluminum wire, jute rope, plastic fishing line, polyethylene, paper and dried flowers create new connections, forms and interweavings. This is a laboratory. For example, Natalia Kosovets in the “Collection of Memories” wove a hand-collected herbarium into the canvas, preserving the warmth of sunny days.

    Programming language, forest and cotton

    In his monumental six-meter “Jacquard”, Argentinean Julian Pesse reflects on how humans and mechanical mediators interact in creativity. “This is a reference to Joseph Marie Jacquard, who invented the Jacquard loom and revolutionized weaving. The work of the Argentine artist is the result of experiments at the intersection of textile art, printing and the binary number system,” reflects the curator of the triennial Anna Karganova. Joseph Marie Jacquard’s device was the first programmable machine, hence the binary number system. The work is black and white: the two colors mean 1 and 0 in the programming language.

    Belarusian artist Khristina Vysotskaya in her work “Souls of the Forest. Connections” presents the forest as a living space where trees are connected to each other. She draws an analogy between the forest ecosystem and the single digital and information field in which modern man exists.

    “This installation reveals a world where trees are connected by invisible threads. It is a symbol of energy and information. Materials: cotton, wool, acrylic, yarn, metal,” adds the curator.

    18 thousand nails and a web of meanings: installation by Olga Kiseleva

    From the non-competition program, it is worth noting the large-scale project “The Network We Live In”. The installation resembles a fishing or hunting set, but refers to different meanings. The network in the modern world is a means of communication: the World Wide Web, social networks. The archaic network has a double meaning: for the victim, it is captivity and death, and for the hunter, it is a guarantee of survival and caught prey. The digital network has the same duality: it connects people on different ends of the planet and separates those sitting next to each other. It serves for career growth and development and for creating dependence at the same time. The viewer will find the answer to the question: what network are they in and what does it mean to them.

    The installation of the exhibit became a test and an experience of self-knowledge. In Olga Kiseleva’s work, we implemented a special meditative process of creating the installation. It consists of sequentially tying and pulling threads through a special structure. Each thread is fixed on nails. It took 18 thousand of them! ” Anna Karganova shares.

    Microstories: When Small is the Beginning of Big

    The Micro — Intersection Point project has collected over 100 miniature works. The exhibits here are no larger than 20 by 20 centimeters, and most often — 10 by 10 centimeters. This is a laboratory for experiments. What the artists cannot yet embody in a large format, they do in miniature. It is worth paying attention to Tatyana Fedotova’s work Dance with Matches — a round dance of textile matches: life as a dance and a dangerous game.

    Textile Guardians of the Park: Dialogue between Art and Nature

    The exhibition extends from the Bread House building onto the street, into the park, emphasizing that it is also part of the exhibition space of the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve. Opposite the Bread House stands Pavel Elfimov’s “Mammonteus” — a woven figure of a fantasy prehistoric animal made of coarse jute rope. A few steps away stands the flexible and touching “Accordionist” by Elena Molchanovskaya made of artificial rattan. The central square is decorated with “Star Called Sun” by Natalia Klimova — an art object made of metal, plywood and colored ribbons. In this work, the artist explores the ancient beliefs of our ancestors.

    Near the Bolshoy Bridge, attention is drawn to “Creation” by Tatyana Patina and Maria Bondarenko – a monumental hand pulling threads from the ground. The foundation of the historical Mylnya was transformed by the work of Katerina Lime-Blossom “hints of integrity” – writing with a small letter is not a typo, but an idea. The interweaving of yarn connects the past and the future.

    The Milovida pavilion features the installation Under Water by Evgenia Evart. It is made from recycled plastic. The artist studies water as the basis of life and draws attention to the fact that plastic pollutes water bodies everywhere. Fish made from plastic bottles, swimming on polyethylene waves, express the author’s anxiety.

    On the surface of the Upper Tsaritsyn Pond, Alexandra Ostrovskaya’s “Portal II” sways. The landmark is the island with the Mermaid Gate. During the time of Catherine the Great, plays were staged here, and folk festivals were held here, and the artist suggests that this could be the portal connecting worlds and eras.

    The optimal route through the park exhibition: start your tour from the Greenhouse Gate (entrance no. 9), moving along the natural relief of the park. Each work occupies a well-thought-out place in the landscape, revealing itself to the viewer in a certain sequence.

    Parallel threads

    A parallel program has been prepared as part of the triennial: some of it is for professionals, but most of the events are for everyone. Guests can expect lectures, master classes, and creative meetings. Of particular interest are the excursions. The schedule will be available on the museum’s website and in social networks. And in the fall, an inclusive project will start — special master classes in hand weaving for teenagers with mental disabilities.

    No longer a craft

    The curators note that over the 14 years of the triennial’s history, the artists have become significantly “younger,” which indicates a growing interest in textile art among emerging artists.

    “For quite a long time, textiles had the status of something handicraft. And if we take the development of the triennial, the types of works that we exhibit have changed very much. Now there are a lot of spatial works, a lot of compositions with high relief, there are textile sculptures. And all this suggests that we have moved very far away from the traditional perception of textile art. And this is great, in my opinion,” concludes Anna Karganova.

    The triennial can be visited from May 16 to November 30. To see the exhibition in the Bread House, you will need a ticket, but you can walk around the park freely.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Moscow Aviation Center specialists complete preparations for the summer season

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    The Moscow Aviation Center is completing its annual preparation of flight and engineering personnel, equipment and infrastructure facilities for the summer season. This was reported by the capital’s municipal services complex.

    The crews of the Moscow Aviation Center completed theoretical training, which ended with a traditional conference, and began practical training with passing tests for admission to the operation of helicopters in the warm period. Aircraft engineers and technicians refreshed their knowledge and are now conducting routine maintenance of the aircraft. The motorcade specialists switched the transport to summer mode, and the airfield service workers prepared the landing sites.

    “As climate conditions change, so do piloting methods. All crew members must understand many things. For example, they must be able to read a weather map to avoid dangerous weather conditions in the air, and know the habits of migratory birds to react correctly when meeting them in the sky. All pilots have good knowledge of mathematics and physics. Both during training and during the flight, we constantly make calculations: how much weight can be lifted depending on the air temperature, how to adjust the course taking into account the direction and strength of the wind, and much more,” said Alexey Didenko, commander of the Moscow Aviation Center flight squadron.

    According to the pilots of the aviation center, the probability of thunderstorms, heavy rain and squalls increases in spring and summer. In dry, warm weather, there is a risk of losing ground when landing a helicopter. This is a situation when air currents from the machine’s propeller raise dust from the surface of the site, causing visibility to drop to almost zero. Such factors significantly complicate helicopter control even for the most experienced pilots.

    “Often such situations occur during independent air-to-air landings, when crews have to land as close as possible to the scene of the incident, and the sides of roads, city courtyards, and even football fields can become landing sites. In such cases, the pilot hovers above the ground, “blowing up” everything beneath him, and watches carefully: when it becomes clear, he descends. In the summer, this is one of the most indispensable piloting techniques,” said Vyacheslav Kalenov, deputy commander of the second aviation squadron of the Moscow Aviation Center.

    All complex and possible abnormal situations are analyzed by the crews at the final stage of theoretical spring-summer training – the conference. At it, specialists exchange experiences, analyze various aviation incidents, develop scenarios for their prevention and summarize the information received.

    Now the flight crew has reported on the theoretical part of the seasonal program and has begun training flights. They will last until the end of May. As a result, the crews will receive permission to carry out aviation work in the warm season.

    Preparations are also being completed in other divisions of the Moscow Aviation Center. Employees of the aviation technical base conduct special maintenance of helicopters. They inspect the systems and units of all aircraft, the landing gear wheels of firefighting aircraft and the skis of medical aircraft, navigation equipment and communications equipment, and replace winter covers to protect the aircraft from exposure to subzero temperatures and snow with lightweight ones. The engines of rotary-wing aircraft are switched to a special summer operating mode.

    According to Yegor Zhigarev, head of the aviation and technical base of the Moscow Aviation Center, specialists always check the fire extinguishing system sensors and replace the lubricant. For example, in warm weather, more viscous compounds are used. If necessary, anti-corrosion treatment of helicopter fuselages is carried out. Specialists also analyze the specifics of operating equipment in the warm season and the impact of weather conditions on aircraft wear.

    The employees of the engineering and airfield service inspect 28 helicopter pads managed by the aviation center after winter. As its head Vladimir Makarov said, with the onset of spring, much attention is paid to the serviceability of the lighting systems and the condition of the road surface. When a stable positive temperature is established, the markings are updated, the paintwork of the fire-fighting equipment is refreshed, the facades are washed and the fences are repaired.

    Briefings were held in the air center’s motorcade: the drivers discussed the specifics of working in the warm season, and the mechanics discussed preparing the equipment for the summer season. The service is responsible for seasonal maintenance of vehicles, changing tires to summer tires, and replacing equipment. For example, instead of winter brushes, watering systems were installed on the airfield municipal cleaning vehicle.

    More than 530 people were saved by the crews of the Moscow Aviation Center in 2024

    Timely maintenance of helicopters, airfield equipment, equipment and communications equipment allows specialists of the Moscow Aviation Center to be ready for any whims of nature. And constant training of flight personnel maintains the professionalism of the crews at a high level.

    PARIS, May 14 (Xinhua) — It would be irresponsible for Europeans not to prepare for strategic independence from the United States within the next five to 10 years, French President Emmanuel Macron said in an interview with TF1 television on Tuesday.

    Because of the systematic “America First” policy, “US interests will become less and less /focused/ on Europe,” he is sure.

    The president pointed to a clear trend of Washington’s disengagement from its European allies over the past 15 years. It began “when the United States decided not to join us in Syria, when they unilaterally withdrew from Afghanistan, and you can see it in recent months,” Macron said, referring to tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump.

    Calling the current global climate a “moment of geopolitical awakening,” the French leader stressed that the European Union, originally created as a project for peace, must now solve the problem of how to remain “free.”

    Asked how the EU should respond to US tariffs, Macron vehemently opposed a trade war but stressed Europe’s resolve. “We are here and we will fight to the end,” he said. -0-

    Sitting at his desk, turning on his computer and entering his password, Indian Joseph begins his working day.

    Joseph is an electric drive assembly and testing engineer. This is his third year with Chinese electric vehicle company NIO and his 13th year in China.

    For Joseph, the rapid technological changes in the EV industry are an opportunity to constantly learn new things. “Unlike the traditional automotive industry, there are so many new, constantly improving technologies in EVs. As someone who works at the forefront of R&D, I am constantly exposed to new things, and my technical knowledge and skills are constantly being enriched,” says Joseph.

    Hu Bo, Joseph’s colleague and also an electric drive assembly and testing engineer, praises him: “Joseph has more than ten years of experience in the electric vehicle industry. He is an excellent engineer and has unique methods for solving complex technical problems.”

    “As a global company, overseas engineers are an important part of NIO’s technology ecosystem, helping us better interact with the global market. In order for China’s EV industry to maintain its leading position, it is necessary to attract global innovation resources,” Hu Bo said.

    Thirteen years ago, Joseph, a graduate in automotive engineering from Coventry University in the UK, came to China with hope and excitement.

    Joseph’s initial work was not as an automotive engineer, but at a consulting firm specializing in the automotive industry. “At the time, the Chinese EV industry was in its infancy, and we were mostly doing market analysis,” Joseph says.

    In 2022, Joseph moved to Hefei, Anhui Province, and became an electric vehicle engineer. He believes that, like many Chinese electric vehicle companies, NIO has strong innovation capabilities, and he enjoys challenging and creative work. “Here, I don’t have to follow a template, and I can always implement my ideas.”

    Having worked in China for over a decade, Joseph has witnessed the rapid development of China’s electric vehicle industry: “When I first came here, I never imagined that electric vehicles would develop so quickly in China and would be in every home within a few years.”

  • MIL-OSI Russia: What will China’s 15th Five-Year Plan be like?

    The “Fifteenth Five-Year Plan” (2026–2030) – what place will it occupy in the historical coordinates of the Chinese nation’s rejuvenation process and in the era of accelerating, unprecedented changes in the world? What will these five years be like?

    These will be five years marked by important historical events. In 2026, we will celebrate the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. In 2027, the 100th anniversary of the People’s Liberation Army of China. In 2029, the 80th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China.

    These will be five years of further acceleration of unprecedented changes in the world.

    Beginning with the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan, a new round of scientific, technological and industrial revolution gives a powerful impetus to the development of productive forces.

    The balance of power in the international arena is changing. The main theme remains the confrontation between multilateralism and unilateralism. Local conflicts and instability have become more frequent, global problems have become more acute, and external pressure and containment are increasing.

    China has entered a period characterized by strategic opportunities, risks, and challenges, as well as increasing uncertainty and unpredictability. The trend toward accelerating global changes, unprecedented in the past hundred years, will inevitably continue during the Fifteenth Five-Year Plan period.

    This is one of three key five-year periods on the path to the basic realization of socialist modernization by 2035.

    According to the strategic plans adopted at the 20th CPC National Congress, China aims to basically complete socialist modernization by 2035 by implementing three five-year programs: the Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth. The Fourteenth Five-Year Plan is the starting point, the Sixteenth Five-Year Plan is the finishing line, and the Fifteenth Five-Year Plan is the key transition stage.

    This is the stage of completion of all reform tasks outlined by the 3rd Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee.

    At the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee held in July last year, more than 300 major reform tasks were proposed and a clear timetable was set: “Complete the reform tasks set out in this decision by the 80th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 2029.”

    2029 is the fourth year of the “Fifteenth Five-Year Plan”. Chinese-style modernization is the theme, and further comprehensive deepening of reform is the content. The Five-Year Plan is a development plan. To implement this plan, it is necessary to actively carry out reforms and adjust production relations.

    The “Fifteenth Five-Year Plan” is destined to become a period of even more large-scale and profound reforms.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: The growth rate and potential of the Chinese market are attractive to American companies

    Peng Zhenke, president of Pfizer China and chairman of the executive committee of the pharmaceutical research and development working committee of the China Association of Foreign-Invested Enterprises, recently announced Pfizer’s plans to invest another US$1 billion in China by 2030. The company has already opened a new research and development center in Beijing and an innovation center in Hangzhou.

    Zhang Jianping, deputy director of the academic committee of the Institute of International Trade and Economic Cooperation under the Ministry of Commerce of China, noted that investments by American companies in China can be divided into two main categories:

    First, market-oriented: companies that provide goods and services directly to the Chinese market, such as Tesla, Starbucks, and General Motors, which make significant profits in China.

    Second, global supply chain oriented: companies that use China as an important base for organizing supply chains and creating added value on a global scale, seeking maximum benefit. A typical example is Apple.

    China has enormous growth potential, making it particularly attractive to American companies, especially multinational corporations.

    Cui Shoujun, a professor at the School of International Relations at Renmin University of China, identifies three key aspects that determine the irreplaceable strategic value of the Chinese market for many American companies:

    First, the advantages of a super-large market: China, with a population of over 1.4 billion and a middle-income group of over 400 million, has huge demand. Growing urbanization in China has driven steady growth in demand for home appliances, automobiles, communications, medical services and other consumer goods.

    Secondly, the obvious advantages of the full industrial chain: China has 41 major industrial categories, 207 medium sub-categories and 666 minor sub-categories, being the only country in the world represented in all industrial sectors of the UN classification. China’s supply chain is not only comprehensive and complete, but also extremely flexible and responsive.

    Third, continuous expansion of high-level opening-up and optimization of the business environment: China creates favorable conditions for the development of foreign companies, including American ones.

    Peng Yu, director of the International Trade Research Department at the Institute of World Economy, Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, stressed that the Chinese market provides American companies with many business and profit opportunities. China is the largest export market for American soybeans and cotton, the second-largest export market for integrated circuits and coal, and the third-largest export market for medical equipment and automobiles.
