    With the support of RN-Purneftegaz and Kharampurneftegaz (part of the oil and gas production complex of NK Rosneft), the village of Kharampur celebrated the holiday of the indigenous people of the North – Reindeer Herder’s Day. Reindeer herders and fishermen from all over the Purovsky District of Yamal, as well as guests from the cities of Gubkinsky and Tarko-Sale, gathered in the national village, where more than 800 forest Nenets currently live.

    Traditional reindeer sled races were held on the banks of the Aivasedapur River. The fastest participants received gifts from the oil workers. A spectacular part of the festival was the reindeer sled parade, for which the residents of the national village also decorated the reindeer with beads and ribbons of multi-colored cloth. Reindeer herders also competed in national sports – wrestling, jumping over sleds, throwing a tynzyan on a khorey (tynzyan is a lasso, and a khorey is a long pole used to drive reindeer). Women took part in a competition for the best traditional outfit. In the boarding school built by Rosneft in Kharampur, the traditions and techniques of this craft and sewing of national costumes are passed on to young people in the beading circle.

    Guests of the festival were treated to traditional Nenets cuisine: stroganina, lightly salted fish, shurpa made from reindeer meat and desserts made from tundra berries. The culmination of the festival was a concert by Yamal creative groups.

    Preservation of the national culture of the indigenous peoples of the North and their traditional way of life is one of the significant areas of Rosneft’s social policy. The Company’s enterprises implement many projects in the regions of their operations, develop the infrastructure of northern villages, help reindeer herder families, improve the material and technical base of educational institutions and social facilities in the areas of original residence of indigenous peoples.

    Reference:

    The settlement of Kharampur (translated from Nenets as “Larch on a noisy river”) was founded in the 1920s as a permanent trading post. With the support of Rosneft, the settlement was revived as a national village in 2002. Thanks to the Company’s patronage, Kharampur became the cultural center of the Forest Nenets. Oil workers built the communal and social infrastructure of the settlement, a cultural and leisure center, a library and a boarding school, where children of reindeer herders and fishermen, in addition to the general education program, study their native language and traditional crafts. Two-story octagonal cottages, stylized as a Nenets chum dwelling, were built for the residents.

    RN-Purneftegaz is implementing a grant project aimed at preserving the unique language and national identity of the Forest Nenets.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Polytechnic University scientists propose a new comprehensive approach to cancer therapy

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

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

    A new combination approach to antitumor therapy has been developed at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. Studies on tumor models have shown its advantage over monotherapy. Scientists used the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin and nanoparticles to deliver radium-223 (²²³Ra) directly to the tumor. A scientific article describing the results was published in the international scientific journal Biomaterials scene.

    According to experts, the results obtained during the experiments bring us closer to solving the problem of tumor resistance to the standard treatment methods used today – chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery.

    Despite promising results in cancer treatment, standard monotherapy remains insufficient for a wide range of cancers. Combination therapy can significantly improve therapeutic outcomes compared to single agent treatment.

    However, determining the optimal scheme can be a difficult task. For this purpose, scientists from the Polytechnic University are developing new approaches to the treatment of oncological diseases. The specialists created and studied the properties of new pharmacological combinations, and also conducted tests for the safety and compatibility of such systems with the body. In addition, the scientists proposed several therapeutic schemes at once that could become an alternative to existing ones. The Polytechnics worked with models of the most common types of cancer according to WHO: colorectal cancer, melanoma, and breast cancer.

    Our results showed that each tumor model studied demonstrated a clear response to combination and monotherapy. In particular, combination chemo- and radionuclide therapy using doxorubicin and the isotope Radium-223 demonstrated a significantly higher therapeutic result than monotherapy. The average therapeutic response was more than 35% for monotherapy and over 60% – 80% for combination therapy. This means that the combination of active substances that we proposed is twice as effective as the standard treatment protocol, – noted Daria Akhmetova, Junior Researcher at the Laboratory of Nano- and Microencapsulation of Biologically Active Substances at SPbPU.

    Scientists used a combination of the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) and nanoparticles based on polylactic acid and calcium carbonate (PLA and CaCO₃) to deliver radium-223 (²²³Ra). The radioactive isotope can be administered to the body either systemically into the bloodstream or by injection directly into the tumor. In the case of local delivery, the isotope is distributed most effectively throughout the tumor volume.

    This approach can solve the problem of tumor resistance to the standard treatment methods used today. It is when using a combined treatment regimen that toxicity for healthy tissues and organs will be reduced and the burden on the patient’s health will be reduced, said Vladislava Rusakova, a research assistant at the Laboratory of Nano- and Microencapsulation of Biologically Active Substances at SPbPU.

    According to the scientists, the main difference between the proposed approach and other protocols for combined cancer treatment is the simplicity and low cost of synthesizing the nanoparticles needed to deliver the radioactive isotope to the tumor. The novelty of the study is in using the clinical method of chemotherapy with doxorubicin and supplementing it with gentle alpha-radionuclide therapy of targeted action.

    Experts noted that the combination therapy is not toxic to living organisms. This is evidenced by the data of laboratory and instrumental studies that were conducted during animal testing. The therapeutic effect of the action was assessed by regularly measuring the volume of tumors and the weight of laboratory mice. In addition, the morphological state of the tumors and organs of the animals was assessed using histological analysis.

    Our team plans to further improve the efficiency of nanoscale delivery systems with an emphasis on radionuclide therapy. Modern technologies for creating nanoplatforms for delivering therapeutic radionuclides have significant potential and can save lives, shared Alisa Postovalova, a junior researcher at the Laboratory of Nano- and Microencapsulation of Biologically Active Substances at SPbPU.

    The work was supported by the grant of the Russian Science Foundation “Development of a new dosage form based on nanosized vaterite for systemic combined photodynamic therapy of breast cancer” (number 22-75-10011). The research is carried out within the framework of agreement No. 075-15-2021-1360 of the Federal Scientific and Technical Program for the Development of Synchrotron and Neutron Research “Development of a domestic innovative theranostic drug based on terbium isotopes for radioimmune therapy of malignant neoplasms of various histological types.”

Joint efforts are aimed at training highly qualified specialists for the mining industry of Kyrgyzstan, as well as conducting scientific research in the field of improving the efficiency of mining operations and developing environmentally friendly technologies.

    In addition to the meeting at the company’s head office, the experts visited the largest gold ore deposit in the Kyrgyz Republic, Jerooy, which is being developed by Alliance Altyn. The specialists familiarized themselves with the technological processes of gold mining, working conditions and development prospects of the enterprise, assessed the scale of production, talked to employees and discussed the possibilities of organizing internships for students and the need to implement modern technologies to improve the efficiency of the deposit.

    Practice-oriented training is the most important aspect of modern training of specialists. We strive to ensure that KRSU students have the opportunity to undergo internships in leading industrial companies, such as “Altyn Alliance”. This will ensure their competitiveness in the labor market, – noted Sergey Volkov.

    The results of the expert work were summed up at the final meeting at KRSU. The participants discussed promising areas of joint research and educational projects in the interests of Alliance Altyn, mechanisms and possible formats for their implementation. Among the most relevant project areas were automation and digitalization of production (operation analysis, technology implementation, process optimization), energy audit (energy consumption analysis, identification of deficiencies, recommendations for improving energy efficiency), modernization of pumping units (equipment analysis, recommendations for improving efficiency, implementation of innovations), examination of the hydroelectric power station construction project (assessment of design solutions, compliance with standards, risk analysis, optimization), organization of courses on Lean Manufacturing (development of a curriculum, trainings, seminars on process optimization), examination of labor protection and safety (comprehensive assessment of workplaces, risk identification, PPE inspection, safety analysis).

    There is a lot of work ahead to coordinate, approve and implement joint projects. With such support, KRSU is obliged to become the flagship of Russian education and science in the region, emphasized Sergey Volkov.

    For the Polytechnic University, the task of supporting KRSU in terms of developing a scientific and technological partnership with the Alliance Altyn company is also one of the key ones – the parties agreed to develop a comprehensive applied engineering and technological project by the end of 2025.

    In addition to working on the formation of a potential portfolio of KRSU projects with industrial partners, SPbPU experts held a number of working meetings with the heads of KRSU scientific schools and expert sessions with the university development team. Thus, at the project and analytical session on the formation of the KRSU development strategy until 2036, recommendations were developed to supplement and focus the strategic goals and key areas of the university’s development. At a meeting with research groups and laboratories, potential areas of cooperation in the field of scientific research were discussed: joint projects, grants, internships. A meeting was also held to agree on and approve specific terms and conditions for the implementation of the SPbPU-KRSU work plan in 2025.

    The agreements reached during the visit will allow us to systematically move forward in fulfilling the key tasks of 2025. Activation of cooperation with the industry, launching real projects at the request of industrial partners are in line with the general task of increasing the competitiveness of KRSU, contribute to the modernization of engineering education and the formation of a system for training highly professional engineering personnel in KRSU, – summed up the results of the visit the head of the Project Office “Slavic Universities” Nikita Golovin.

    Novosibirsk State University has received a license for a new master’s program “Industrial Pharmacy”, the first intake of students will be in September 2025. This is a network educational program implemented jointly with the Engineering School of Moscow State University, the industrial partners are the companies “Generium”, “Pharmstandard” and “Medico-Biological Union”. This is the first such educational program beyond the Urals. It is planned that up to 20 people will study in the master’s program.

    The new master’s program will be implemented on the basis of the infrastructure new campus of NSU, which is being built within the framework of the national project “Youth and Children”. The master’s degree will combine fundamental scientific knowledge concentrated in the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the industrial experience of industrial partners. Students will also undergo practical training at Moscow State University and Sechenov University.

    — The buildings of the educational and scientific center of the Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies (IMMT) of NSU and the scientific research center of NSU, which are related to the objects of the second stage of the new campus, will house both educational sites and pilot industrial production in various areas, including pharmaceutical ones, which will allow young specialists to obtain and hone their skills in a licensed production facility located directly at the place of their studies. No university beyond the Urals offers such an opportunity, — commented Mikhail Khvostov, Acting Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Medical Cybernetics of IMMT NSU.

    Bachelors of natural science and medical fields will be able to enroll in the master’s program. Within the framework of the program, it will be possible to receive education in two tracks.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: IMF Executive Board Concludes 2023 Article IV Consultation with El Salvador

    Source: IMF – News in Russian

    March 19, 2025

    Washington, DC: On March 20, 2023, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation[1] with El Salvador.

    Despite a series of adverse external shocks, the Salvadoran economy has fared relatively well to date, and is estimated to have grown by 2.8 percent in 2022. Annual inflation jumped to 7¼ percent, mainly due to high global food prices while fuel price inflation was moderated by large subsidies. Vulnerabilities mounted, with international reserves falling below 2 months of imports. In the context of limited financing options, the fiscal deficit narrowed to 2½ percent of GDP, but fiscal policy is expected to turn expansionary in 2023. Under current policies, public debt is on an unsustainable path. 

    The economy is expected to grow by 2.4 percent in 2023, but the outlook is fragile, given the macroeconomic imbalances and a less favorable international environment. A comprehensive and credible policy package is urgently needed to put public debt on a firmly declining path and strengthen macroeconomic and financial stability.

    Over a year after the adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender, its use has been minimal but risks for financial and market integrity, financial stability, and consumer protection remain and need to be addressed. 

    Executive Board Assessment[2]

    Executive Directors noted the strong post‑pandemic recovery supported by the authorities’ timely responses to shocks and the improved security situation. Pointing to the fragile outlook amid rising risks and vulnerabilities, Directors urged the authorities to adopt a comprehensive plan to address macroeconomic imbalances, including unsustainable public debt and limited reserve coverage, along with structural reforms to support stronger, inclusive growth.

    Directors welcomed recent fiscal efforts but underscored the urgent need for an ambitious fiscal consolidation plan, based on greater revenue mobilization and efficiency of spending, including better targeting energy subsidies and social safety nets and rightsizing the wage bill. This is critical to put public debt on a firm downward trajectory and allow a gradual return to international capital markets. Restoring and upgrading the Fiscal Responsibility Law would also improve the transparency and credibility of fiscal policy. Directors stressed the importance of ensuring the sustainability of the pension system to limit contingent liabilities.

    Directors noted that the banking system remains healthy but cautioned against rising exposures to the sovereign and the erosion of liquidity buffers. They called for raising banks’ reserve requirements, enacting promptly the Financial Stability Bill, closing regulatory gaps, and continuing to implement the 2020 Safeguards Assessment recommendations.

    Directors underscored the importance of narrowing the scope of the Bitcoin law and removing Bitcoin’s legal tender status. They noted that while Bitcoin has had a minimal impact on financial inclusion, high risks to financial integrity and stability, fiscal sustainability, and consumer protection persist. Directors urged that Bitcoin transactions be transparently disclosed, together with the financial statements of public companies operating in the Bitcoin ecosystem. They also called on the authorities to carefully weigh the implications of the new crypto assets legislation and avoid expanding government exposure to Bitcoin.

    Directors stressed the importance of structural reforms to strengthen governance, the investment climate and productivity. They called for continued efforts to strengthen fiscal transparency, public procurement, AML/CFT legislation, and the independence of the judicial system. Directors also stressed the importance of enhancing human capital, infrastructure, and climate resilience, as well as continuing to upgrade the statistical framework.

    Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova held the first meeting of the Commission under the President of the Russian Federation on Veterans’ Affairs in its new composition. The members of the commission discussed the results of the implementation of measures to improve the socio-economic situation of veterans of the Great Patriotic War, as well as issues of informing participants in the special military operation about the support measures they are entitled to and the mechanisms for receiving them.

    “The President of the country declared 2025 the Year of the Defender of the Fatherland. Today, the most important topic on the agenda is support for veterans of the Great Patriotic War. Those who, without sparing themselves, 80 years ago brought Victory closer, defended our country, their loved ones and their home. Historical memory and truth are our responsibility to future generations,” Tatyana Golikova emphasized.

    In accordance with the decree of the President, a one-time payment will be made to all those who fought for the Motherland on the anniversary of the Great Victory. Over 23 billion rubles have been allocated for these purposes; payments will be received by almost 332 thousand citizens. Preparations for the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Victory are being carried out at all levels. The head of state has instructed federal and regional authorities to provide all possible assistance to veterans in resolving issues of their social protection. One of the priority tasks is to provide medical care, dispensary observation and drug provision to veterans of the Great Patriotic War.

    Much attention is paid to those who stood up to defend our country in the conditions of a special military operation. The government maintains a dialogue with the participants of the SVO on an ongoing basis, taking into account which additional decisions are made. Thus, a new section “Procedure for providing medical care to combat veterans” has been included in the program of state guarantees for free provision of medical care to citizens. Since January of this year, SVO participants have been undergoing medical rehabilitation and spa treatment in 12 rehabilitation centers of the Social Fund.

    A system of providing complexes of state services, services, measures of active employment policy, measures of state support, as well as mechanisms of interaction with employers has been formed on the basis of regional employment services. Monitoring of participants of the SVO and members of their families who applied to employment services for employment purposes has been organized, according to which more than 18.5 thousand participants of the SVO and members of their families applied to employment services, they were provided with more than 58 thousand services. In addition, training of SVO participants has been organized, and within the framework of the national project “Personnel” it is envisaged to reimburse part of the costs to the employer for equipping workplaces for employment of persons with disabilities.

    Other measures are also being taken. The government has issued a number of instructions aimed at informing participants of the SVO about the support measures they are entitled to and the mechanisms for receiving them in various areas – taxation, education, housing, medicine, rehabilitation, prosthetics and others. At the instruction of the head of state, a special section has been created on the Unified State Services Portal, which contains all the necessary information for SVO participants and their family members about existing support measures – from federal to municipal, and a search for measures depending on the life situation has been implemented.

    Following the meeting, Tatyana Golikova instructed the commission members to send proposals to the Russian Ministry of Labor for their compilation in order to formulate a work plan for the commission for 2025. In addition, she instructed:

    — The Ministry of Labor of Russia, together with the Social Fund of Russia and other government agencies, shall ensure control over the implementation of the lump-sum payment established by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of January 15, 2025 No. 15 “On the lump-sum payment to certain categories of citizens of the Russian Federation in connection with the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941–1945”;

    — The highest executive bodies of the subjects are recommended to continue implementing measures to improve the socio-economic situation of veterans of the Great Patriotic War together with veteran, volunteer and public organizations, paying special attention to proactively resolving issues of material and living conditions, including citizens living in remote areas, and, if necessary, to provide additional targeted assistance and support measures to veterans of the Great Patriotic War. Also, together with medical organizations, within the framework of the powers established by federal legislation and the legislation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, to ensure that veterans of the Great Patriotic War undergo medical examinations and dispensary observation on an ongoing basis, including by sending medical workers to the veteran’s home, organizing the delivery of the veteran to the medical organization and back using transport purchased within the framework of the national project “Demography” and regional programs for the modernization of primary health care;

    — In order to provide the most complete and timely information to participants of the SVO and their family members about the possibility of receiving social support measures and the conditions for their provision, the highest executive bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation shall update information on the Unified Portal about current regional measures of social support for participants of the SVO and their family members and the conditions for their provision (hereinafter referred to as on an ongoing basis upon updating or adoption of relevant regional acts) and ensure that participants of the SVO and their family members are informed about the possibility of receiving information about available social support measures on the Unified Portal;

    — The Russian Ministry of Health, together with the Russian Ministry of Digital Development, should work on the issue of expanding the information section of the Unified Portal in terms of filling it with information on the provision of medical care to participants in the SVO and their family members, including issues of providing psychological and psychotherapeutic care, medical rehabilitation and spa treatment;

    — The State Foundation “Defenders of the Fatherland” together with the Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation shall submit to the commission proposals aimed at raising awareness among participants of the SVO and their family members on monitoring satisfaction with the completeness and quality of social support measures, assistance and services provided to them.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Marat Khusnullin: About 120 large facilities were commissioned under the state program “Construction” in 2024

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

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

    The comprehensive state program “Construction” was approved in 2022 to implement state policy in the field of construction and management of state capital investments.

    “In order for construction in the country to be carried out reliably, with the fulfillment of all the set tasks, it is important to have a long-term program. Thus, the comprehensive state program “Construction” is designed to increase the efficiency of budget funds allocated to the industry, accelerate the commissioning of important facilities, and ensure the achievement of priority goals of state policy in the field of construction. Cash execution of expenses of the register of capital construction projects and real estate included in the “Construction” program, according to the results of 2024, amounted to about 99%. Last year, permission was received to commission 119 capital construction projects. These are large socially significant facilities. Moreover, 19 of them were commissioned ahead of schedule,” said Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

    In particular, the construction and reconstruction of sections of the M-7 Volga, M-51, M-53, M-55 Baikal, R-255 Siberia, A-360 Lena and many other highways has been completed.

    Among social facilities, the construction of the regional clinical anti-tuberculosis dispensary in Saratov with 453 round-the-clock beds has been completed. The new medical institution will improve the quality of prevention of respiratory diseases.

    Another significant object is the new building of the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. It is decorated with a large light atrium with a panoramic view of Kadashevskaya Embankment. Transformable partitions are installed in the halls, which allow for faster and more convenient changes of expositions.

    Work on projects within the framework of the comprehensive state program in 2024 was carried out by 48 main administrators of federal budget funds.

    In addition, special attention is paid to reducing unfinished construction projects.

    “As part of the measures taken to complete construction and reduce the number of unfinished capital construction projects, cumulatively in 2024, 113 unfinished construction projects were excluded from the federal register of unfinished capital construction projects, including 84 projects due to the implementation of management decisions adopted by the presidium (headquarters) of the Government Commission for Regional Development in the Russian Federation. Of these, 34 projects have been completed,” noted Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Irek Fayzullin.

    A significant number of procedures for monitoring the implementation of projects have been transferred to electronic form using the Electronic Budget system, which has made it possible to reduce some administrative procedures and has had an impact on reducing the investment and construction cycle.

    X5 Group and the Higher School of Business of the National Research University Higher School of Economics are relaunching a joint master’s program. The name “Retail Management” was changed to “B2C Business Management: Technologies and Innovations”, completely revising the program’s content. Now students will focus on studying customer experience, new technologies and innovations in management – those competencies that are most in demand in modern business.

    B2C Business Management: Technologies and Innovations” will be the first specialized master’s program that trains leaders in retail and e-commerce. The training, taking into account all the latest trends, will be built around three main blocks – customer experience, new technologies, organizational and operational innovations. Among the disciplines offered to students: Data Science, Business Analytics, Digital Platforms, Digital Marketing, Customer Experience Management in an Omnichannel Environment.

    The program is built on the “experience first” principle. This approach combines academic depth and practical experience: the courses are taught by teachers from the Higher School of Business of the Higher School of Economics, as well as invited teachers-practitioners who hold senior positions in the retail sector. X5 Group top managers actively participate in the program, conducting special courses, lectures, master classes and organizing practice, which allows you to gain knowledge first-hand.

    The Master’s program is focused on solving real cases and business problems – during the training, students will master specific methods of working with the consumer sector, omnichannel business and modern retail, develop strategic thinking and leadership skills. Graduates are in demand in leading companies in the field of retail and e-commerce, in the financial services sector and FMCG companies, occupying leadership positions. The program is also suitable for those who run their own business, or have been working in retail for a long time, but want to master innovative approaches and grow in their career.

    “Modern retail is speed, adaptability, technology and innovative solutions. Russia has long been not just following trends here, we set them, creating unique digital services and the best customer experience in the world. Young professionals are increasingly choosing retail – last year, the number of employees aged 18 to 24 at X5 increased by 12% and amounted to more than 43 thousand people. Because here there is an opportunity to grow and develop your skills in many areas – from the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence tools to managing complex operational processes and systems. In a joint program with the HSE, we have combined all our experience, expertise and accumulated knowledge. Thus, students can adopt what the most advanced retailers, including, of course, X5 as a leader in this field, have been developing for years in different areas. And we, in turn, are very interested in young specialists, so we invest in their development from the very beginning,” said Vladimir Salakhutdinov, Chairman of the Academic Council of the program, First Deputy General Director of X5 Group.

    Academic Director of the Master’s Program, Associate Professor of Practice at the Higher School of Business, National Research University Higher School of Economics

    “We have updated the curriculum structure of the joint Master’s program with X5 Group, placing an emphasis on project-based learning. Consulting projects, group assignments, and internships will help students form an impressive portfolio in two years for successful career development or launching their own project. Modern teaching methods, elective courses, and extracurricular activities will help develop the necessary management competencies and skills. X5 Group’s participation in the program not only guarantees the relevance of the knowledge gained, but also the integration of students into the professional community through guest lectures, excursions, and round tables.”

    Reception of documents for applicants to the program in 2025 will be held from June 19 to August 15: this year, 63 places are open for students from Russia and one for students from foreign countries. X5 will provide grants for the best students to study.

More than 2,000 applications were submitted for the correspondence stage of the competition, of which 543 projects were selected to reach the in-person defense.

    The Vice-Rector of the State University of Management Dmitry Bryukhanov addressed the audience with a welcoming speech.

We will do everything we can to promote the development of patriotic feelings. During the SVO, we especially acutely understand that ours is better than someone else’s. Our department is one of the largest at the university, and we will be glad to see you, your children and students among our students,” concluded Sergey Vladimirovich.

The “Architectural Battle of Ideas” is gaining popularity, within the framework of which we send expeditions to cities to develop solutions for improvement. This year, we were invited to visit the UAE and have already outlined the task that we have to complete. By the way, it is receiving a clear technical assignment from a city or district that is the most difficult part of forming an expedition. No less popular is the project “Ideas that Transform Cities”. Participation of children from a young age in such competitions and projects allows them to feel their involvement, show love for their small homeland and help make it better,” shared Sergey Kochnev.

    After the grand opening, the Boiling Point auditorium of the State University of Management hosted the defense of projects in 47 nominations of participants in 4 age categories: 10-13 years; 14-17 years; 18-35 years; 36 years.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: The government has extended the decision to cancel the accrual of increased penalties for late payments for housing and communal services

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

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

    The government has extended until the end of 2026 the specifics of calculating and paying penalties and fines for late payment of housing and communal services (HCS) without reference to the increased key rate of the Bank of Russia. A resolution on this has been signed.

    In 2025 and 2026, the calculation of penalties and fines will be based on the Bank of Russia’s key rate of 9.5% per annum, which was in effect on February 27, 2022. The decision applies to legal relations that arose from January 1, 2025.

    According to the Housing Code, the amount of the penalty for incomplete and untimely payment for housing and communal services is determined taking into account the key rate of the Central Bank on the day of actual payment from the amount not paid on time for each day of delay. At the current key rate, the maximum amount of the penalty would be disproportionate to the payments of citizens for housing and communal services, therefore, the rate value that was in effect before the increase will be used for the calculation.

    A similar procedure for calculating increased penalties for late payments in the sphere of housing and communal services was in effect in 2022, 2023 and 2024. The federal law extending the powers of the Government to establish such features of regulating housing relations in 2025–2026 was signed in early 2025.

    The document will be published.
