    Humanization of education is developing, and now schoolchildren can decide on a profession from an early age.

    Tourism in Russia is advancing and bringing new business opportunities.

    Below you can read one of the articles.

    1. Financial news: To the 200th anniversary of the inventor of the first Russian airplane Alexander Mozhaisky (03.03.2025).

    Bank of Russia on March 4, 2025 puts into circulation a commemorative silver coin with a nominal value of 2 rubles “Rear Admiral AF Mozhaisky, to the 200th anniversary of his birth” series “Outstanding personalities of Russia” (catalog number 5110-0189).

  • MIL-OSI Russia: “Forward to Zlotnikov!” How the new exhibition is organized in the gallery-workshop “GROUND Solyanka”

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    An exhibition has opened in the GROUND Solyanka gallery and workshop “Forward to Zlotnikov!”, presenting a new look at the artist’s legacy.

    Yuri Zlotnikov is an abstract artist, one of the classics of Russian contemporary art, creator of his own visual language. His works are kept in the State Tretyakov Gallery, the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, the National Center of Art and Culture Georges Pompidou in Paris and other major cultural organizations.

    The exhibition “Forward, to Zlotnikov!” is complex: its creators define it as a search for an impulse that sets in motion the mechanism of perception and knowledge of the world, as a large-scale study based on the art of Yuri Zlotnikov. His works are shown together with works by Russian and foreign contemporary artists – this takes viewers away from the idea of a lone innovator, which is assigned to the master, and denotes the continuity of ideas and interdisciplinary searches. And the image of the world through the prism of Yuri Zlotnikov’s works is complemented and expanded by scores for the ANS synthesizer by Olesya Rostovskaya and the installation “Machine Vision” by media artist Kamila Yusupova.

    As for the architecture of the exhibition, notes Katya Bochavar, director of the GROUND Solyanka gallery and workshop, it is organized quite uniformly: almost all of the master’s works on display are located on a white support, with the exception of large paintings.

    “And since the texts written by curator Nikita Spiridonov explain the artist’s works themselves, the themes that Zlotnikov worked on, and explain his worldview and perception in general, then, as it seems to me, it is very important at this exhibition not only to look, but also to read the text,” emphasizes Katya Bochavar.

    “Signal System”, Cybernetics and Sculpture

    The research exhibition is a timely and important stage in the study of the work of one of the greatest authors of contemporary Russian art, says Nikita Spiridonov.

    “The starting point here is the art of Yuri Zlotnikov. However, following the call in the title, the dramaturgy can also be built in reverse: through the practices and poetics of other authors, the perception of Zlotnikov’s own art is deconstructed and reassembled,” the curator of the exhibition reasons.

    The starting point for the research is the “Signal System”, which is at the crossroads of these vectors. Yuri Zlotnikov himself formulated its essence as follows: “The study of psychophysiological motor experiences, the nature of the subject’s reactions to color and form, the interaction of “artist – image – viewer” and subsequent impacts is the meaning of my work…”.

    The term “signal” refers to cybernetics, an interdisciplinary science of transforming and transmitting information in complex control systems, which, in turn, borrowed it from psychophysiology. The artist emphasized the influence of cybernetics in his texts and statements. It is known, for example, that while working on “Signal System” (1957–1962), Zlotnikov communicated with Nikolai Bernstein, who was in charge of one of the laboratories of the Central Institute of Labor in the first half of the 1920s, where he was developing the foundations of biomechanics. Researchers of the artist’s work do not have a unified opinion on what exactly he gleaned from the texts and reasoning, but his practice sometimes seems worthy of its own laboratory and speaks of Yuri Zlotnikov’s exceptional passion and persistence not only in aesthetics, but also in science.

    In the hall “Psychophysiology of visual perception” a special place is given to Zlotnikov’s still little-studied projects – sculpture and design theory. He worked on the principles of industrial workshop design in parallel with the “Signal System”.

    “The idea was to extrapolate the Signals problematic to the needs of industrialization of that time – the project addressed the mental state of a person at the moment of production. Like the psychotechnical experiments of the Russian avant-garde, it was supposed to help a worker tune in to the production process in the factory shops, a schoolchild – to perceive and assimilate educational material in the classroom, and so on. However, later Zlotnikov cooled towards design and became disillusioned with its potential. According to Alexander Zlotnikov, Yuri Savelyevich claimed that the mundane is detrimental to the perception of art: if a worker sees a mural next to his machine every day, he will most likely stop noticing it,” says Nikita Spiridonov.

    The sculptural works, not realized on a large scale during Zlotnikov’s lifetime and presented as models, establish a continuity with Yakov Chernikhov’s “Architectural Fantasies” — graphic compositions with an emphasis on “a sense of form, line, plane, volume, a sense of rhythm.” And although most of Chernikhov’s works remained projects, their flat architecture echoes the elements of lines and arcs of spatial objects in the gallery-studio hall. Thus, the visual patterns of Zlotnikov’s series enter three-dimensional space and now share it with the viewer, provoking movement and the search for a more perfect point of perception.

    The exhibition runs until April 22. Tickets can be purchased on mos.ru.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: All about your capital: how the personal account of the portal “Discover Moscow” has been updated

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    A new function has appeared in the user’s personal account on the “Discover Moscow” portal. Now in the “Favorites” section, you can create your own selections of online routes, articles about museums, monuments and buildings, as well as materials about people who left their mark on the culture and history of the capital. Thanks to this, it will be easier for users to systematize information about the places they want to visit and quickly find the content they like.

    “Earlier, the team of the project “Discover Moscow” conducted a study to find out the opinion of users about the work of the portal. Many survey participants noted that they would like to be able to save pages in the “Favorites” section in a more convenient way. Previously, they could not be organized, which sometimes caused difficulties in finding the necessary material. Therefore, we added a new function to the section – creating categories for content. Now the user can combine it thematically, for example, save articles about museums that they plan to visit, or descriptions of interesting routes in a separate category,” the press service said.

    Department of Information Technology of the City of Moscow.

    New functions are available to authorized users of the portal “Learn Moscow”. Authorization can be done using Mos ID – an account on the mos.ru portal, as well as accounts on the social networks “VKontakte”, “Odnoklassniki” or the “Yandex ID” service. In addition, you can create a separate account on the portal “Learn Moscow”. When registering, the user will need to indicate their first name, last name, email and set a password.

    In the updated personal account, in the “Favorites” section, two categories are available by default: “Already visited” and “Planning to visit”. In order for the desired page to be included in one of them, you need to put the appropriate mark. You can find it above the photo gallery of the object, next to the “Favorites” icon, marked with a “heart”.

    To create your own content categories, in the Favorites section, you need to click the Add Category button. For example, this can be done for favorite routes, information about the history of the city, quizzes, unique historical places, museums or interesting buildings. The user comes up with the name of the category themselves. If necessary, it can be edited, and the categories themselves can be deleted.

    Next, to add content to the desired category, you must first save it to “Favorites” by clicking on the “heart” icon on the object page above the photo gallery. Then go to “Favorites”, click on the “Add to categories” button under the saved object and select the desired one.

    In your personal account, you can also use the existing convenient options.

    Thus, in the “My Tickets” tab, the ability to view tickets purchased in the section has been preserved. “Poster”On the portal “Discover Moscow” you can find many interesting events – paid and free, which take place in the city’s cultural institutions.

    And in the “Added to the site” tab there are pages (dedicated to historical buildings, monuments and personalities) that the user has created on the “Learn Moscow” portal. You can create a page in the “Buildings”, “Monuments” and “Personalities” sections. To do this, go to the section and click on the appropriate button at the top of the page – “Add a building”, “Add a monument” or “Add a person”. Then the user needs to enter information about the object. If we are talking about, for example, a building, you will need to indicate its name, address, nearest metro station, date of construction, add a description and photographs. The application will be reviewed by specialized specialists, and after moderation, the object page will appear on um.mos.ru. Before you suggest an article for publication, it is recommended to check if there is similar material on the portal.

    Another new feature is the ability to rate routes based on several criteria: scenic beauty, duration, information content, and accessibility. This can be done on a five-point scale. The rating will allow portal visitors to better navigate the variety of routes and choose those that match their interests and preferences.

    All new features are also available in the “Discover Moscow” application.

    “Get to Know Moscow”— a joint project of departments information technology, cultures, cultural heritage, education and science. The interactive guide contains photographs and descriptions of more than 2.3 thousand buildings, over 700 monuments, 400 museums, more than 290 walking routes, as well as information about more than 320 historical figures. All this is also available in the mobile application “Get to Know Moscow”.

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Over the past three years, young Muscovites have begun to attend clubs and sections in the capital’s palaces and creative centers by 35 percent more often. This was reported in Department of Education and Science of the City of Moscow.

    “There are 26 creative centers in the capital, including the flagship of the capital’s supplementary education system — the Moscow Palace of Pioneers on Vorobyovy Gory. Over the past three years, interest in these institutions has grown noticeably: the number of children attending clubs has increased to 142 thousand. Children have access to over 15 thousand sections and clubs — this is a quarter more than in 2022. Each child can choose what interests them — from football and rhythmic gymnastics to robotics and circus arts,” the department’s press service said.

    For example, at the Victoria Children’s and Youth Center, Muscovites go karting. They not only learn to drive, but also study the structure of cars, master repair skills, learn traffic rules and the specifics of holding sports competitions. At the Vostochny Palace of Children’s and Youth Creativity, schoolchildren try their hand at DJing. During classes, they work with modern music equipment, master mobile applications for creating music and perform at events.

    The Moscow Palace of Pioneers has an observatory where children study astronomy. At the technical education center, they observe the sky and make their own discoveries, such as finding new stars. Since 2019, the palace’s students have discovered 77 supernovae and 126 variable stars. There is also a sculpture workshop where schoolchildren gain skills in working with tools and prepare for admission to specialized universities. In addition, there is the Vasilisa Fashion Theater. The children create complex sewing products, design, model and decorate clothes, and also participate in the development and sewing of collections for various competitions and shows.

    You can sign up for clubs on the mos.ru portal using the function “Enrollment in clubs, sports sections and art schools” in the “Services” section.

    In total, there are more than 135 thousand clubs and sections in the capital’s schools, colleges and additional education centres. 89 percent of Moscow schoolchildren study in them. Most often, they choose football, chess and robotics.

    You can find out more about additional education in the capital in Telegram channels “Moscow education” And“Moscow Center for Educational Practices”.

    Supplementary education programs develop creative and critical thinking in schoolchildren and develop skills that will be useful to them in their future profession. Events held within the framework of supplementary education contribute to the project “All the best for children” national project “Youth and Children”.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Composer Alexey Rybnikov on the Moskino Cinema Park and the music for Buratino

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    The full-length film “Buratino”, which was filmed at the Moskino cinema park, will be released on January 1, 2026, 50 years after the premiere of the famous Soviet musical film. The new film was filmed from September to November 2024. The music for it was written by composer Alexey Rybnikov.

    The People’s Artist of Russia created unique arrangements, inspired by the characters’ personalities. The film retains the classic compositions from the Soviet adaptation, and also adds new musical elements.

    “In most of the film we left the compositions from the Soviet film, and, for example, for the scene where Papa Carlo makes a doll, I wrote new lyrics to the music from the first film. All the other songs remained with the classic words, but one of them will sound unusual, it will be a surprise for all viewers,” shared Alexey Rybnikov.

    For the project, the Moskino cinema park built a set called “Provincial Towns of Europe” with an area of over 11 thousand square meters. The composer noted that they were made so naturally and realistically that it created the feeling of filming in a real Italian city. These are several streets with realistic buildings – a church, Giuseppe’s house, a school, a theater and others.

    Numerous streets and squares, small artistic details, fountains, niches, inscriptions – everything is worked out to the smallest detail. Alexey Rybnikov emphasized that the creation of such a site within the boundaries of Moscow is a great help and success for filmmakers.

    The site offers comfortable conditions for work, and each decoration is unique and interesting in its own way. The composer called the idea of creating a world-class cinema park in the capital fantastic.

    “The sets in the film ‟Buratino‟ are an amazing achievement of the set designers and producers who decided to do everything exactly like this. It creates the feeling that you are not in Moscow, but on the streets of Italy, where the action takes place. In general, for the film ‟Buratino‟ there were not many scenes in the pavilion, basically everything happened on the natural set, which is quite unusual. When you shoot in the pavilion, you really feel it, and here everything is natural and great. Therefore, I think that more than one project will definitely be created in the set design,” added Alexey Rybnikov.

    The fairy tale plot of the film will tell viewers how one day Papa Carlo, who dreams of becoming a father, gets a magic key. His dream comes true when a simple log turns into a smart and cheerful wooden boy Buratino. The father dotes on his creation, but Buratino feels that he is not like other children, and sets off on a journey to get to know himself better.

    The film takes much from the traditional interpretation of the fairy tale “Pinocchio”, but Buratino himself will appear before the audience in the form of a wooden three-dimensional doll, brought to life thanks to new computer technologies.

    The project’s director is Igor Voloshin, the producers are Alexander Andryushchenko, Fyodor Bondarchuk and Denis Baglai. The main roles were played by Lev Zulkarnayev, Fyodor Bondarchuk, Mark Eidelshtein, Stepan Belozerov, Anastasia Talyzina, Victoria Isakova, Alexander Petrov and other actors.

    The Moskino cinema park is part of Sergei Sobyanin’s “Moscow – City of Cinema” project and an object of the Moscow cinema cluster, which is being developed by the capital Department of Culture. The first stage of development has already been completed here: 18 natural sites, four pavilions and six infrastructure facilities have been built. Among them are the sets “Center of Moscow”, “Moscow in the 1940s”, “Vitebsk Station”, “Yurovo Airport”, “Cathedral Square of Moscow”, “Deaf Village”, “Partisan Village”, “County Town”, “Cowboy Town”, “St. Petersburg Bar” and other sites.

    The Moscow Film Cluster is an infrastructure facility, services and facilities for filmmakers, which are being developed by the Moscow Government within the framework of the Moscow — City of Cinema project. Its structure includes the Moskino film park, the Gorky Film Studio (sites on Sergei Eisenstein Street and Valdaisky Proyezd), the Moskino film factory, the Moskino cinema chain, the film commission and the Moskino film platform.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Investor to Renovate Former Kindergarten Building with Elephant Sculptures in Shchukino

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Entrepreneurs can purchase a cultural heritage site of regional significance at an open auction – the building of the former kindergarten No. 333 in the Shchukino area, also known as the “homeland of pink elephants.” This was reported by the head of the capital’s Department of Competition Policy Kirill Purtov.

    “The city offers investors to purchase an educational building built in 1936. The facility, with an area of over 1,700 square meters, is located at 11 Marshal Vasilevsky Street, Building 6. The main symbol of the former kindergarten is a splash pool decorated with a baluster fence and four elephant sculptures. After restoration work, the winner of the auction will be able to open a development center, boarding school or other institution there,” said Kirill Purtov.

    The two-story building was built according to an individual project. It combines two styles — constructivism and Stalinist neoclassicism — and also has a rounded hall, which is not typical for buildings of that era. Until 2011, a kindergarten operated here, but it was closed due to non-compliance with modern standards, and the groups were distributed to other preschool institutions. In 2019, the building was recognized as a cultural heritage site of regional significance.

    “The kindergarten with elephants in the Moscow district of Shchukino is one of the few educational buildings of the 1930s built according to an original design, despite the fact that at that time the mass standard construction of preschool institutions had just begun. It has preserved its historical appearance to this day. One of its distinctive architectural features is the four legendary figures of elephants, which, like the monument itself, are now in need of conservation work. I hope that in the near future the building will have a new owner who will carefully restore this unique cultural heritage site and give it a new life,” said the head of the capital’s Department of Cultural Heritage.

    Alexey Emelyanov.

    After being assigned the status of a cultural heritage site of regional significance, the building is protected by the state. Its historical appearance may not be violated, and any work may only be carried out after the relevant design documentation has been approved by the capital’s Department of Cultural Heritage and under its control.

    The land plot with an area of 8.7 thousand square meters will be leased to the winner of the auction for the duration of the building’s restoration.

    Applications are accepted until March 6, the auction will take place on March 18. To participate in the auction, you must be registered on the online platform “RoselTorg” and have an enhanced qualified electronic signature.

    Moscow is a city that develops entrepreneurship. The capital puts up for auction various real estate properties, andserves as a showcase investment portal. In the section “Property from the city” publish all the necessary information about the lots: photographs, documentation, conditions and form of implementation. Here you can also take a 3D tour of the objects. You can participate in the city auction remotely: the entire procedure takes place online.

    Development of electronic services for business corresponds to the objectives of the national project “Data Economy and Digital Transformation of the State” and the regional project of the city of Moscow “Digital Public Administration”.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Asia’s Next Growth Frontier

    Source: IMF – News in Russian

    Opening Remarks by the IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva
    At a conference on Asia and the IMF: Resilience through Cooperation, Tokyo, Japan, March 5, 9AM JST

    March 4, 2025

    (As Prepared for Delivery)

    I would like to thank Finance Minister Kato for welcoming us today and want to express my gratitude to Governor Ueda for joining. I’m very sorry I can’t be with you in person. But thankfully technology allows me to join you virtually.

    Those who have been to Tokyo’s Skytree know that it has the best views of the city. And like so much in Japan, it’s an engineering masterpiece. Gazing across Tokyo’s skyline, it’s hard to imagine just how much the city—and the country—has changed in the 80 years since the Bretton Woods Institutions were established.

    After World War II, Japan invested heavily in infrastructure and manufacturing and introduced sweeping reforms. These set the country on a path to becoming an economic powerhouse.

    Inspired by Japan’s success, other countries in Asia followed suit. Today, the region contributes over 60 percent of global growth, and is home to some of the world’s largest, most innovative companies.

    Of course, Asia is a very diverse continent, with a mix of advanced economies, emerging and frontier markets, and small island states. Demographics and income levels vary too.

    But across the region, openness and deepening economic ties have been crucial to countries’ success.

    The world is changing, however. Many countries face weaker growth prospects and are saddled with high public debt. The COVID-19 pandemic and recent geopolitical developments have brought into focus the importance of security of supplies. Trade is no longer the engine of global growth it used to be. And we are in the midst of massive transformations, from rapid advances in AI to changing patterns of capital flows and trade. 

    Against this background, governments worldwide are shifting their priorities. The new US administration is rapidly reshaping its policies on trade, taxation, public spending, deregulation, and digital assets. And other governments are also recalibrating their approaches and adjusting their policies.

    The future of growth

    How should countries in Asia adapt? Let me highlight three opportunities.

    First, the shift toward services-led growth. While trade in goods has flattened, service flows are surging. In fact, services have already drawn about half of the region’s workers, up from just 22 percent in 1990.

    Economists have traditionally thought of services as less productive than manufacturing. Our research suggests otherwise. Asia’s labor productivity in financial services is four times higher than in manufacturing, and twice as high in business services.

    Second, digitalization and AI. The demand for digital products and services in the region has accelerated quickly and is on track to continue growing faster than the region’s GDP. Japan’s Rakuten, China’s Alibaba Group, and Indonesia’s GoTo Group now rival e-commerce giants Amazon and Walmart.

    In AI development, Japan and China are racing ahead, followed closely by South Korea and Singapore. This could be an important boost for productivity. In Singapore, for example, an estimated 40 percent of jobs could be made more productive by AI. The country has several digital economy agreements now in place, enabling digital companies in the region to connect and share data more easily.

    That brings me to my third point: greaterregional cooperation andtrade. On the surface, it might look as if the world is retreating from integration. But regionally, countries are leaning in.

    Over the past four decades, intra-regional trade in Asia has increased by 43 percent. Today, more than half of Asian trade is regional.

    The trend is the same for foreign direct investment. FDI from Asian countries to Japan, for example has nearly doubled over the past decade, as market opportunities in Japan’s technology sector grow.

    Together, the shift toward services, digitalization and AI, and greater regional integration can lift growth. But to harness these opportunities, the region will need to carefully navigate domestic developments and global changes.

    The IMF’s role

    That is where the IMF comes in. We strive to be trusted partners to our member countries, provide country-specific advice and safeguard the stability of the global economy. Our work spans economic analysis, policy advice, financing and capacity development.

    And as the world economy has changed, we too have evolved. From managing fixed exchange rates in the 1970s, to active surveillance of countries’ economic and financial policies and more systematic coverage of spillovers.

    More recently, our thinking on capital flow management and foreign exchange interventions has changed, and we’ve upgraded our lending toolkit to include more flexible instruments tailored to emerging market economies.

    Thanks in large part to Japan’s support, we are also offering more support to low-income countries, especially in capacity development, and a stronger presence around the world through our regional technical assistance centers.

    We are grateful to Japan for the deep engagement in thinking about the future of the Fund. Today’s discussions are an important part of that. 

    My colleagues and I are keenly interested in ideas and reflections on:

    • how we can best support our members, especially the most vulnerable among them, to grow and build economic resilience;
    • how to tailor more of our advice to support countries’ efforts to deepen regional collaboration, by thinking through our strategic engagement with groups like the ASEAN, the Pacific Island countries, as well as medium sized and larger economies; and
    • how to strengthen the global financial safety net. We’re assessing how IMF facilities can be further improved to support resilience in our member countries. And we are working closely with regional arrangements to enhance crisis prevention and response capabilities.

    We know from experience that reforms are hard, but we also know they can steer countries towards stronger and durable growth and can achieve a more stable and prosperous global economy.

    You can count on the IMF in this journey.

    Deputy Managing Director Nigel Clarke and the rest of our team are excited to be part of today’s productive discussion. I look forward to the outcome.

    Thank you.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Marat Khusnullin: Decisions have been made on 43 more unfinished construction projects

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

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

    The Presidium (headquarters) of the Government Commission on Regional Development made management decisions on 43 more unfinished construction projects included in the federal register of unfinished construction projects.

    “At the recent operational meeting with deputy prime ministers, the Prime Minister noted the importance of improving the efficiency of federal property management for the sustainable development of regions. In this area, we are doing a lot of work to involve unused land plots in economic circulation so that they benefit people. Another area of work is unfinished construction projects financed from the federal budget, of which, unfortunately, there are many in the country. Among them are schools, clinics, dormitories, utility facilities and much more that people are waiting for. In recent years, the situation has gradually begun to change. Since 2022, the Ministry of Construction has begun to maintain a federal register of unfinished projects, and the government commission for regional development makes management decisions on them. Thanks to this, people can receive objects that are important for a comfortable life. In addition, an additional favorable environment is created for the development of populated areas, their appearance is improved, and citizens get new jobs. “So, we have made decisions to complete and commission another 43 unfinished buildings,” said Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

    The Deputy Prime Minister noted that there are currently 773 unfinished construction projects in the federal register, of which management decisions have already been made for 696. Of these, 321 will be completed.

    In addition, the Ministry of Construction is collecting and analyzing information regarding 77 unfinished buildings for subsequent submission to headquarters for consideration.

    “The Russian Ministry of Construction is actively working with the subjects of the Russian Federation in terms of monitoring the development of regional regulatory legal acts similar to federal level documents. They provide for the maintenance of regional registers of unfinished capital construction projects, the construction and reconstruction of which were carried out in whole or in part at the expense of the budgets of the subjects and local budgets,” noted Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Yuri Gordeyev.

    Information about unfinished construction projects financed by federal funds is included in the federal register based on data from the main budget funds administrators. This information is first sent to the Ministry of Construction and then checked by the interdepartmental commission. Entering an object in the register enables the presidium (headquarters) of the Government Commission for Regional Development to make decisions regarding the future fate of such an object.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Marat Khusnullin: More than 300 companies from Donbass and Novorossiya have already become participants in the free economic zone

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

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

    Since the beginning of the year, the register of participants in the free economic zone (FEZ) of the new regions has been replenished with another 23 companies from the DPR, LPR, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions and now includes more than 300 organizations. Among the new participants are enterprises in the spheres of housing and road construction, metallurgy, woodworking and food industries, agriculture, trade and services, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported.

    “The SEZ in Donbass and Novorossiya is one of the youngest in the country, and already has 307 investors interested in working in the reunited regions. Their total investment portfolio, declared to date, amounts to almost 120 billion rubles. Thus, the SEZ allows us to solve strategic tasks in general, and also gives impetus to the powerful development of the territories,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.

    Developers from the Donetsk People’s Republic were among the last to sign the agreement on joining the FEZ. They will build two residential buildings in Mariupol with 230 apartments and a total area of over 13,000 square meters, which they plan to commission by the end of 2026. An organization engaged in the repair and construction of highways also joined the FEZ participants. One of the largest investors from the DPR in recent times was a full-cycle metallurgical enterprise that specializes in the production of commercial cast iron, commercial blanks, rolled products and sheets.

    The investment project of the organization from the Luhansk People’s Republic is based on the revival of the machine-building enterprise that produces railway gondola cars and special rolling stock in the city of Stakhanov. In addition, companies that produce building materials and are engaged in agriculture have become participants in the SEZ from the LPR.

    Entrepreneurs from Zaporizhia and Kherson regions have also entered the free economic zone. Thus, five Zaporizhia organizations operate in the spheres of industry, agriculture, trade and services. A manufacturer from Kherson region is engaged in the woodworking industry and plans to establish a semi-automatic production line. Another company intends to organize uninterrupted fuel trade in Kherson region.

    The authorized body for regulating the SEZ is the Ministry of Construction, and the functions of the management company are assigned to the PPK “Territorial Development Fund”.

    “The number of SEZ participants is updated literally weekly. This once again confirms the interest of companies in receiving SEZ preferences. In addition, more than 89.6 thousand people will be involved in the implementation of projects. Both confirm the effectiveness of the economic instrument,” added Ilshat Shagiakhmetov, General Director of the Territorial Development Fund.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: A monument to Heydar Aliyev will appear in Moscow in honor of the anniversary of the construction of the BAM

    A memorial plaque was laid at the site of the installation of the monument to the outstanding statesman and political figure, Chairman of the USSR Council of Ministers Commission for the Construction and Development of the Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM), twice Hero of Socialist Labor Heydar Aliyev in the park next to the Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan in Moscow. The ceremony was attended by the Mayor of Moscow Sergei Sobyanin, Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Vitaly Savelyev, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Azerbaijan to the Russian Federation Rahman Mustafayev, General Director – Chairman of the Board of JSC Russian Railways Oleg Belozerov, Advisor to the General Director on a voluntary basis of JSC Russian Railways Gennady Fadeyev, President of the All-Russian public organization “BAM” Efim Basin.

    Sergei Sobyanin recalled that last year Russia celebrated a major anniversary – 50 years since the start of one of the most grandiose construction projects of the Soviet Union – the Baikal-Amur Mainline. The mainline still plays a huge role in the country’s economy.

    “The BAM Builders’ Association has asked to erect a monument to Heydar Aliyev, one of the main organizers of this construction project. The Russian government and Russian Railways have actively supported this request. The Moscow City Duma Commission has decided to support this request. Today, I have signed an order to build a monument to Heydar Aliyev here, in the park next to the Azerbaijani embassy,” said Sergei Sobyanin.

    In total, about two million people were involved in the BAM construction project. For many of them, the construction and then work on the highway became a life’s work and a feat. Heydar Aliyev not only supervised this construction on behalf of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, he lived this construction, emphasized Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Vitaly Savelyev.

    “And today I am happy to welcome the BAM veterans who have dedicated most of their lives to this construction. Of course, this is a landmark object for us, and we will continue the construction of the BAM in a new composition. Because it is difficult to overestimate the significance of this construction, this railway for our country. The eternal memory of Heydar Alievich Aliyev will forever be in the hearts of our people,” noted Vitaly Savelyev.

    The BAM builders remember and honor the memory of Heydar Aliyev, Efim Basin emphasized. The monument dedicated to him will be a symbol of his great service to the country.

    “Especially since it was necessary not only to build a four thousand kilometer railway, but also to develop the territory of the BAM, and this is an area under which about a third of Russia’s natural resources lie – the entire periodic table. That is why the entire country built the BAM. And many villages were built by the efforts of the Union republics and large cities of Russia, such as, for example, Tynda, built by Moscow. Leningrad built Severobaykalsk, and Azerbaijani envoys built Ulkan. But not only the Ulkan station, but also an additional Angoya, on which today there is a plaque (at the station of this station) that this is the station named after Heydar Aliyevich Aliyev. This is important for us. Even today, when passing by, train drivers give a honk in memory of this great man,” noted Efim Basin.

    For modern railway workers, BAM is a construction site where they learn, adopting the experience of their predecessors – people with prophetic and strategic vision, Oleg Belozerov emphasized.

    “Without BAM, it is impossible to transport cargo to the East today. We are learning, we honor the memory of our predecessors and are very grateful to Heydar Aliyevich Aliyev. We even consider him our railwayman, since he devoted so much time to this project, and 1974 – well, first of all, 1984 – were very difficult years for the Soviet Union. In order to complete the construction, it was necessary to have outstanding management talents. We are currently adopting this experience. We remind young people how the facility was built, what a labor feat is. Well, and we, managers, of course, remember Heydar Aliyev and try to be like him. And this monument is a great honor for us,” said Oleg Belozerov.

     

    Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Azerbaijan to the Russian Federation Rahman Mustafayev expressed his deep gratitude to the Government of the Russian Federation and the Government of Moscow for their attention to the memory of the national leader of Azerbaijan. He recalled that Heydar Aliyev headed strategic areas of economic, scientific, cultural and educational development in high positions in the Soviet Union.

    “I believe that the monument that is being laid today is a memory not only of Heydar Aliyev, but it is also, to a large extent, a monument to Azerbaijani-Russian friendship,” the ambassador emphasized.

    Construction of BAM

    As First Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, Heydar Aliyev supervised a large-scale infrastructure project — the Baikal-Amur Mainline. Heading the government commission, he personally visited the BAM construction site many times and made a significant contribution to the project’s implementation at the final stage.

    The Baikal-Amur Mainline is a 4,324-kilometer-long railway running through Eastern Siberia and the Far East.

    One of the largest transport arteries in the world runs north of the Trans-Siberian Railway. The strategic advantage of the BAM is that it is located in the depths of the country at a distance of 700-1000 kilometers from the state border.

    The BAM plays a vital role in the development of Siberia, the Far East and the Far North. It has enabled the richest deposits of coal, iron ore, tin, gold, copper, molybdenum, oil and gas to be put into circulation, and this powerful raw material base to be used for the operation of plants, factories, plants and the long-term development of domestic industry. At the turn of the 21st century, the BAM helped open the markets of the Asia-Pacific region for the Russian economy and provided a reliable transit route for all of Eurasia. Together with the Trans-Siberian Railway, it has become a strategic transport corridor of not only national but also global significance.

    On April 26, 2023, a solemn ceremony was held at the Yaroslavsky railway station in the capital at the memorial plaque to the BAM builders. That same year, an exhibition dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Heydar Aliyev and his contribution to the implementation of the project opened at the Kazansky railway station.

    Work is underway at the Kuskovo estate to preserve the historical appearance of the Swiss House. This in his telegram channel Sergei Sobyanin said.

    “It was built in the 19th century according to the design of Nikolai Benois. The building is unusual in that it combines a brick ground floor and a carved wooden upper tier. The last owner of the estate, Sergei Sheremetev, once lived here,” the Moscow Mayor noted.

    Source: Sergei Sobyanin’s Telegram channel @Mos_Sobyanin

    The Swiss house is built in the style of an Alpine chalet. Since the 18th century, Kuskovo has had a tradition of creating park pavilions and buildings with national accents, such as Dutch, French and Italian.

    The craftsmen have already started restoring the wooden log structure. This is a complex and painstaking process: the wooden part of the building was separated from the brick part and suspended using a special system. Now the restorers will have to replace the damaged logs and reconnect the log structure to the first floor. In addition, work will be carried out inside the building to preserve the historical stoves and chimneys.

    Comprehensive restoration is underway at the Kuskovo estate since 2017The palace facade, the Dutch House, the Grotto pavilion, the formal park, the 18th century sculptures and other objects have already been put in order. In addition, the forest part of the park has been landscaped, making it even more convenient for walks.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Time Matters – Russians Shift Savings to Long-Term Deposits

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    Sours: Mainfin Bank –

    How did the bank deposit market change at the beginning of 2025?

    Russians’ demand for long-term deposits began to grow in January 2025 – clients are trying to lock in a high rate for a long period. According to the Finuslugi platform for the first two months of the year:

    The share of deposits for 6 months decreased by 1.5 percentage points, amounting to 54% of the total volume of deposits – the term is still the most popular; the share of deposits for 3 months decreased by 1.3 percentage points – to 25.2%; the share of deposits for 1 month also fell – to 3.1%; the share of deposits for one year, on the contrary, increased by 3 percentage points – to 13.7%; deposits for a term of over one year also show a slight increase.

    The downward trend in bank deposit yields began after the February meeting of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation – the regulator left the key rate at 21%, which forced banks review the terms of savings instruments. The average maximum rate in the country’s largest banks has already fallen by 1.2%.

    What do banks think about changing deposit terms?

    At the same time, domestic banks do not record a single trend towards clients switching to long-term savings, although they allow for such dynamics in the coming months:

    V MTS Bank see an increase in the popularity of long-term deposits, but within 2%; Post Bank noted an increase in the popularity of deposits for a period of 9 months – their share grew by 30%; in the bank “Russian standard» noticed an increase in demand for long-term deposits – a strengthening trend is expected; VTB the growth in the share of deposits for one year or more increased by only 0.4 percentage points; no movement of funds to long-term deposits was recorded in T-bank And Absolut Bank.

    “Deposit rates in Russia are close to the peak level, since the key rate is not expected to increase. If the regulator decides to move to easing the monetary policy, the deposit structure will change – Russians will prefer to fix high yields,” the expert notes.

    However, the expectation of a reduction in the key rate may also lead to a revision of bank policies – financial institutions will refuse to attract funds for a long term, having reduced the profitability of such savings products in advance.

    “We see that the trend for academic mobility remains stable throughout the world, the number of foreign students in Russia is growing. And one of the successful tools of this work is holding such large-scale events as the international Olympiad,” the minister said.

    The track for undergraduate students also started for the first time. The winners and prize winners were 2,129 people, the master’s track – 3,928 people, the postgraduate track – 234 people, and among postdocs – 11. In total, this year the participants filled out almost 362 thousand portfolios. The organizers noted the increase in the activity of the participants and a significant improvement in the quality of their preparation: the average score increased at all stages of the intellectual competitions, despite the increased entry requirements for applicants.

    The Olympiad is held in 14 broad subject profiles:

    — Computer and Data Science

    — Business and management

    — Engineering and technology

    — Clinical medicine and public health

    — Biology and biotechnology

    — Earth and Environmental Sciences

    — Economics and econometrics

    — Linguistics and modern languages

    — Physical and technical sciences

    — Urbanism and civil engineering

    — Chemistry and Materials Science

    The International Olympiad (known internationally under the brand Russian Scholarship Project Open Doors) has been held since 2017. During this time, more than 500 thousand people from 222 countries of the world took part in it, about 90% of them live in Asia and Africa. More than 12 thousand winners and prize winners received the right to free education in the best Russian universities.

    The XI St. Petersburg International Forum of United Cultures will be held in the first half of September. The corresponding decision was made on March 3 at a meeting of the organizing committee for its preparation and holding under the leadership of Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova.

    “We have gained experience in preparing the Forum of United Cultures and are improving it every year,” said Tatyana Golikova. “Despite the COVID period and the resumption of the forum in an updated format at a time when some countries attempted to cancel Russian culture, the platform is working successfully and uniting cultural figures of the world. This year, the forum will be held in the first half of September.”

    The main theme of the forum is “Return to Culture – New Opportunities”, said Tatyana Golikova. The business program venues will traditionally be the General Staff Building of the State Hermitage Museum, the spaces of the State Russian Museum and the State Academic Chapel of St. Petersburg.

    The forum’s cultural program will include a concert on Palace Square and a gala concert of opera and ballet stars at the Mikhailovsky Theater.

    The head of the Ministry of Culture of Russia, Olga Lyubimova, presented a report on the preparation of the forum at the meeting.

    “In 2025, we propose increasing the total maximum number of participants to 2,000 people. It is expected that Russian participation will be expanded by increasing quotas for subjects of the Russian Federation, as well as by attracting more cultural figures and special guests,” Olga Lyubimova noted.

    Thematic sections will be headed by Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Konstantin Mogilevsky, General Director of the Presidential Foundation for Cultural Initiatives Roman Karmanov, General Director of the State Hermitage Museum Mikhail Piotrovsky, Director of the Russian Ethnographic Museum Yulia Kupina, Chairman of VEB.RF Igor Shuvalov, First Deputy General Director of the Russian Information Agency ITAR-TASS Mikhail Gusman, Executive Director of the Cinema Fund Fyodor Sosnov, Artistic Director of the State Theatre of Nations Yevgeny Mironov, General Director of the State Academic Capella of St. Petersburg Olga Khomova, General Director of the Bolshoi Moscow State Circus on Vernadsky Avenue Edgar Zapashny.

    A new section, “Artistic Education,” will be added, curated by the rector of the Russian Institute of Theatre Arts (GITIS) Grigory Zaslavsky.

    The forum will cover the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory. The Russian news agency ITAR-TASS proposed organizing a photo exhibition “The Muses Were Not Silent” based on materials from its archives.

    The General Director of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives Roman Karmanov spoke about the events of the section “Culture and New Technologies”, and the Vice-Governor of St. Petersburg Boris Piotrovsky spoke about the regional program of the forum.

    Proposals for the future program of the forum were made by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia Alexander Pankin, Special Representative of the President of Russia for International Cultural Cooperation Mikhail Shvydkoi, and Chairman of the Synodal Department of the Moscow Patriarchate for Church-Society Relations and the Media Vladimir Legoida.

    The head of the Directorate of the St. Petersburg International Forum of United Cultures, Vladimir Kekhman, said that at least 300 representatives of Russian and foreign media are expected.
