    It would be logical to say that not very, but I think it is very humane, including from the point of view of the availability of these resources. Many do not go to a psychologist because of embarrassment, lack of understanding of how to talk about their problem. But they can tell the chatbot. And if, for example, there is a psychologist “on the other side” and he heard that the person said something dangerous, he can pay attention to this and offer: “Look, there are specialists, they have such time slots, call them.” You can redirect to a specialist and relieve some kind of crisis, if it has arisen. Such resources are good to use as an indicator of problems and for instant self-help. For example, they can recommend doing some exercises.

    Andrey Tolmachev, Director of the Department of Information Policy and Comprehensive Security of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, paid a working visit to the Polytechnic University.

    At a meeting with SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy, the head of the Ministry of Education and Science Department discussed the details of the All-Russian conference on university security planned for the near future, one of the tracks of which will be held at the Polytechnic University. The negotiations were attended by Vice-Rector for Information Technology Andrey Lyamin, Vice-Rector for Youth Policy and Communication Technologies Maxim Pasholikov, Vice-Rector for Security Alexander Airapetyan and Head of the Public Relations Department Marianna Dyakova.

    In the research building of Technopolis Polytech, the rector of SPbPU, using a model of the university campus as an example, told Andrey Tolmachev about the university’s development prospects. Andrey Anatolyevich also visited the Polytech TV studio and gave an interview to the student media center “Polymer”.

    The guys were interested in the details of the media forum, which was held as part of the media relay race “17 Values of Russia”, for the opening of which Andrey Tolmachev came to St. Petersburg. The participants of the event were students from ten St. Petersburg universities, including the Polytechnic University. The theme of the St. Petersburg forum is the value of “Life”. Over the course of two days, representatives of student media attend lectures and master classes by experts in media, healthcare, ethics, philosophy, charity, participate in panel discussions and themselves come up with and create social videos and posters about the value of life. The authors of the best works will be determined by representatives of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia and the Institute of Internet Development. The winner will go to the student media rally.

    Answering the question from Polimer, “Do you think that student media can become a key platform for discussing traditional values among young people?”, Andrei Tolmachev emphasized that it is the young people themselves who should promote traditional values among young people.

    “The goal of the media relay is for the kids to experience the values of Russia, understand what they are, translate them into the language of their generation and broadcast their views to the masses through visual content,” Andrey Anatolyevich explained. “And our experts help them with this: some of them show how to shoot videos and write scripts, while others teach them to think about what life is and how to live it.”

    Andrey Tolmachev believes that the media relay has already achieved its goal from the day it started — hundreds of universities and thousands of students have united across the country. The first forum was held on Russian Student Day at the V. Dahl Luhansk State University. It was dedicated to the value of “Service to the Fatherland and Responsibility for Its Fate.” After St. Petersburg, Ufa will take up the baton, where the forum’s theme will be the value of “High Moral Ideals.”

    The forum has been held at the initiative of the President of Russia since 2023. This year, it was attended by about 1,800 people from the fields of science, technology, politics and business from all over Russia. Among them are master’s degree students Physics Department of NSU, employees of the Institute of Hydrodynamics named after. M.A. Lavrentyeva Alexander Paraskun and Artur Asylkaev.

    The forum’s business program included 37 sessions. The key event of the forum was the plenary session with the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

    — The level of development of materials science is a kind of marker of the level of technology of the country as a whole. Thus, for the synthesis of superheavy elements with numbers 119 and 120, accelerator targets based on intermetallic compounds of berkelium-249 and californium and curium, respectively, are needed. The discovery of new elements expands our knowledge of matter, and it is important to note that it was in our country that the element with atomic number 118, related to inert gases, was synthesized, but its properties are very different from other representatives of the group, — said Alexander Paraskun, a master’s student at the Physics Department of NSU.

    NSU representatives took part in several panel discussions in their fields.

    — Several panel discussions were taking place in parallel, so we visited the most interesting and closest to our specialty. Important topics were discussed at the session “Nature-like technologies: restoring the balance between the biosphere and the technosphere”. Biologization of the technosphere is one of the tasks of the century. However, without understanding how nature works at the molecular level, we will not be able to create nature-like technologies, which is exactly what megascience research facilities are needed for, — noted Alexander Paraskun.

    For two days, the forum featured an exhibition where high-tech companies from all over the country presented their innovative developments. These included titanium products, including those used in the medical field, plant growth stimulants, and 3D-printed intervertebral disc prostheses. Projects created using artificial intelligence were also presented.

    — Visiting the Future Technologies Forum is like looking into tomorrow. Here, ideas turn into projects, and an ordinary conversation can become the beginning of something grand. One of the key topics of discussion was innovative materials. For example, materials with extreme characteristics open up wide opportunities for increasing the efficiency of devices in such areas as energy, transport, aircraft engine building and space technologies. Their unique ability to withstand extreme conditions — high temperatures, pressure, mechanical loads and aggressive chemical environments — makes them indispensable for creating more reliable and efficient solutions, — shared his impressions Artur Asylaev, a master’s student at the NSU Physics Department.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Scientific readings “Worlds of the Russian intelligentsia in the 20th century: profession, society, power” took place

    The scientific readings “Worlds of the Russian intelligentsia in the 20th century: profession, society, power”, dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of the honorary professor of the Novosibirsk State University Varlen Lvovich Soskin (1925-2021), took place at Novosibirsk State University on February 26. The readings were attended by scientists from Novosibirsk, Omsk and Tomsk state universities, Novosibirsk State University of Economics and Law, several institutes of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of History and Archaeology of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Among those present were numerous students and former colleagues of the scientist. Also present at the event were V.L. Soskin’s relatives – daughter Marina Guseva, as well as granddaughter Maria and great-granddaughter Anna.

    Moderator of the readings, candidate of historical sciences, associate professor Vladimir Mindolin noted that Varlen Soskin was always characterized by attention to detail and the ability to make strong logical generalizations, for which his colleagues highly valued him. As a humanities scholar, he organically fit into the life of Akademgorodok: at a time when disputes raged between “physicists” and “lyricists”, strong friendly relations connected him with mathematicians, physicists and representatives of natural sciences. Varlen Soskin did a lot to ensure that humanities scholars integrated into the complex scientific environment of the newly created Akademgorodok. He also actively participated in educational activities and was distinguished by outstanding organizational skills.

    Rector of NSU, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Professor Mikhail Fedoruk said that Varlen Soskin’s students carefully preserve his memory. NSU initiated a great deal of significant research in the field of humanities, which received all-Union, and then all-Russian and world recognition.

    — Varlen Lvovich was the first full-time employee of the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences working in the field of history — he was hired on February 1, 1959, when NSU had not yet opened — the first lecture at our university took place only on September 28 of the same year. From the very beginning, Varlen Soskin linked his life with teaching at NSU, where he had a large number of students. Under his scientific supervision, 37 young scientists defended their candidate dissertations. His influence on the development of the humanitarian direction at the university and in Akademgorodok was enormous. In addition, he was strong in spirit, lived a long life, a significant part of which was associated with the war period, which was reflected in his memoirs and recollections of the times when he was a cadet at the Rostov Military School, and right up to the Great Patriotic War. The scientific readings we are opening today are further evidence that this man was loved, respected and will always be remembered at our university. His memory will live on in his many students, noted Mikhail Fedoruk.

    Participants in the readings recalled that Varlen Soskin, along with historian, academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences, professor Alexey Okladnikov, was one of the founders of humanitarian research at the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences (now the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences). The professor’s students call the subject of his research “explosive” for the Soviet era. He viewed the intelligentsia not as a social stratum, but as the most important social force. Varlen Soskin discussed the fate of the intelligentsia and the cultural policy of the state with the maximum amount of freethinking allowed at that time. Each of his articles and especially his books caused a furor. The entire university attended his lectures, the students loved him, and his colleagues recognized that it was precisely such teachers who determined the university’s noosphere.

    Chairman of the Committee on Traditions of the Union of the NSU Graduates Association “NSU Union”, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Professor Sergei Netesov emphasized that the traditions that Varlen Soskin brought to NSU are still alive and well.

    – Varlen Leonidovich made a significant contribution to the development of our university and became its legend. The traces he left in the history of Siberia, in the history of NSU, in the history of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences will never be overgrown, they remained in many historical testimonies, – said Sergei Netesov.

    Director of the Humanities Institute of NSU, Professor Andrey Zuyev noted that Varlen Soskin was one of the organizers of humanitarian education at the university, under his scientific supervision 131 students of the Humanities Faculty and then the Humanities Institute wrote and defended their final qualification works. Many of them later became doctors of science, now make a significant contribution to the development of science and occupy quite serious positions in various fields of science and education.

    Director of the Institute of History of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Historical Sciences Vadim Rynkov shared his memories of Varlen Soskin’s lectures and admitted that during his student years he underestimated them, citing the differences between the generations of teachers and students.

    — Varlen Lvovich probably felt the age difference between him and the students, and each year he gave us a little less of the main material, and told us a little more about himself and his life experience. Only many years later I began to understand how important it was. Nowadays, studying not only the history of science, but also scientific everyday life is very widespread. And he passed on the history of this everyday life of science to us. Varlen Lvovich was a unique person, a bright representative of Siberian, Akademgorodok science, — said Vadim Rynkin and showed the audience Varlen Soskin’s personnel file, which is kept at the Institute of History of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. At the same time, he noted that this is the bureaucratic side of the biography of the honorary professor, but, in addition, it is also a unique source of information from the history of scientific everyday life.

    In the memorial part of the readings, the chief researcher of the sector of history of social and economic development of the Institute of History of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Professor Sergei Krasilnikov presented a substantive presentation “Varlen Lvovich Soskin: the life of a scientist, organizer of science, mentor”. There was also a presentation of the book “From the personal perspective of the fate of a historian: on the 100th anniversary of the birth of Professor Varlen Lvovich Soskin”. A specialized issue of the electronic scientific journal of the Institute of History of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences “Historical Courier” was presented, dedicated to this significant date. The opening of the exhibition “Life as a Vocation” prepared by the staff of the Museum of History of NSU took place.

    The scientific readings were held within the framework of two sections: “After the Empire: Intellectual Labor in Early Soviet Society: People, Ideas, Fates” and “Scientists and Power: Role in the Development and Implementation of Large Scientific and Technical Projects”. The reports were heard from scientists from NSU, the Institute of Economics and Industrial Organization of the SB RAS, the A.P. Ershov Institute of Informatics Systems of the SB RAS, the Institute of History of the SB RAS, Tomsk State University, the Historical Archive of the Omsk Region, the Institute of History and Archaeology of the Ural Branch of the RAS, and the Novosibirsk State University of Economics and Law. Various topics were considered: continuity and gaps in intellectual activity, Tomsk University in the era of transformations of the early Soviet period, the struggle to preserve university autonomy, the role of scientists in the field of theory and practice of domestic planning, and the adaptation of the intelligentsia to the conditions of Siberian exile in the 1920s.

    Source: IMF – News in Russian

    February 27, 2025

    Lusaka, Zambia: An International Monetary Fund (IMF) staff team, led by Mercedes Vera Martin, visited Zambia during February 19-25, 2025, as part of the Fund’s ongoing engagement with the Zambian authorities and other stakeholders.

    At the conclusion of the visit, Mrs. Vera Martin issued the following statement:

    “The mission team engaged with the Zambian authorities on recent macroeconomic developments and the economic outlook. Encouragingly, the Zambian economy has shown greater resilience than previously anticipated in 2024, supported by stronger-than-projected performance in both the mining and non-mining sectors”.

    “We also took stock of the authorities’ progress in meeting key commitments under the IMF-supported program. These efforts will be formally assessed in the context of the fifth review of the Extended Credit Facility arrangement, which is expected to be initiated with a mission in early May 2025.”

    “During this visit, IMF staff held discussions with Finance Minister Musokotwane, Bank of Zambia Governor Kalyalya, and their teams, as well as representatives from various government agencies and other key stakeholders. The IMF team would like to express its gratitude to the Zambian authorities and all stakeholders for their constructive engagement and support during this mission.”

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Marat Khusnullin: The number of land plots with registered boundaries in Russia has increased to 43.5 million since 2020

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

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

    The government continues comprehensive work to improve the quality of data in the Unified State Register of Real Estate (USRRE). Since 2020, the number of land plots without recorded boundaries in Russia has decreased by 9.1 million, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported.

    The entry of information on the boundaries of land plots, as well as on administrative boundaries and boundaries of territorial zones into the Unified State Register is carried out by Rosreestr within the framework of the Complete and Accurate Register project, which has been implemented since 2020 at the direction of the President of Russia on ensuring the reliability of information in state information resources.

    “The efficiency and quality of services in the field of land and real estate, as well as the spatial development of the country, depend on filling the USRN with complete and accurate information. The result of this work primarily depends on activity and involvement in processes at the regional level. In this regard, interaction has been established with the offices of the Plenipotentiary Representatives of the President of Russia in the federal districts and with the heads of the subjects. Today, the USRN contains information on 60.9 million land plots in the country, of which 43.5 million (71.5%) have a coordinate description of the boundaries. Since 2020, the share of plots without clearly defined boundaries has decreased by 9.1 million. As part of the state program “National Spatial Data System”, by the end of 2025 we plan to increase the share of plots with boundaries to 72%, and by the end of 2030 – to 95%,” said Marat Khusnullin.

    According to the Deputy Prime Minister, the largest increase in the number of land plots with coordinate description of boundaries was recorded in ten regions. The leaders include the Republic of Tatarstan, the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol, Moscow, Sverdlovsk regions and Stavropol Krai.

    The increase in the number of land plots with registered boundaries was influenced by the implementation of comprehensive cadastral works. This is one of the effective mechanisms for filling the USRN with complete and accurate data. Thus, over the past five years, such works have been carried out in relation to 4 million real estate objects.

    “A significant increase in the figures for entering boundaries into the Unified State Register of Real Estate was facilitated by the adoption in August 2023 of a law aimed at eliminating the intersections of the boundaries of settlements, territorial zones, forestries with the boundaries of land plots. As part of the implementation of this law, Rosreestr initiated the project “Verification of information in the register of boundaries of the Unified State Register of Real Estate”. In 2024, we processed almost 3 million intersections (96.5%), of which 512 thousand were eliminated. 2.5 million intersections are not subject to adjustment in accordance with the law. The remaining 3.5% will be processed in the first quarter of 2025,” said Oleg Skufinsky, head of Rosreestr.

    The process of entering information on the boundaries of land plots into the Unified State Register of Real Estate will also be accelerated by the entry into force on March 1 of this year of a law that provides mechanisms to stimulate the registration of land plots, buildings and structures by citizens and legal entities. In particular, registration of rights or transactions will be possible only in relation to land plots with precise boundaries.

    Marat Khusnullin also noted that stable dynamics are observed in the inclusion of information on the boundaries of administrative-territorial entities in the real estate register. Since 2020, the share of boundaries between constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the USRN has increased by 53% and amounted to 87%. The share of boundaries of municipalities, information on which is included in the USRN, amounted to 94% – 29% more than in 2020. The share of boundaries of settlements reached 78% – 48% more than in 2020. A significant increase occurred in terms of entering information on the boundaries of territorial zones into the USRN, which is an important criterion for investment attractiveness and further development of regions. This figure was 74%. This is 61% more than at the beginning of 2020 (13.4%).

    Senior Lecturer of the Department of Physical Training and Sports received cups and medals for 2nd overall team place at the All-Russian student orienteering competitions Tatyana Bevza, as well as students Ulyana Bryuchko (PhysMech) and Mikhail Belyakov (IFKST).

    For first place in the billiard competition “POOL-8” of the Spartakiad “Health – 2025” among teachers and employees of St. Petersburg universities, awards were given to the Director of the Higher School of Jurisprudence and Forensic Science Dmitry Mokhorov and the Head of the News Portal Department Evgeny Gusev.

    The winners of the 20th All-Russian conference-competition for students and postgraduates “Current Issues of Subsoil Use” were students of the Higher School of Industrial Management of IPMEiT Anastasia Malashchitskaya and Daria Moiseenko, a student of the Civil Engineering Institute Olga Loginova (scientific supervisor – PhD, Associate Professor Vitaly Kudinov), as well as a postgraduate student of the Higher School of Engineering and Economics of PMEiT Olga Bichevaya (scientific supervisor – Svetlana Gutman).

    The first issue on the agenda was summing up the results of the winter session of the 2024-2025 academic year: almost 70% of full-time students successfully passed the exams, which indicates a high level of preparation and a responsible approach to study.

    More than 7,500 students will receive scholarships based on the results of the midterm assessment, which is an important incentive for further improvement and striving for academic achievements. Such positive dynamics emphasize the effectiveness of the educational process and compliance with high standards of educational quality, – said Lyudmila Vladimirovna.

    She presented the positive experience of implementing the pilot program to support talented students “Leaders of Polytechnic”, launched at IMMiT: 94% of students in this program passed the session with “excellent” and “good” grades.

    The program has proven its effectiveness, helping participants to reveal their abilities and achieve outstanding results, and the results serve as a vivid example of how investments in talented youth bring results, contributing not only to the personal growth of students, but also to strengthening the university’s reputation as a center of attraction for gifted and promising specialists. Such high academic performance of the program participants emphasizes the importance of personalized work with each student, taking into account their individual characteristics and needs, – noted Lyudmila Pankova.

    One of the issues was the discussion of the plan for the transition to a new system for assessing learning outcomes based on individual achievements. The individual achievement system (IAS) being developed is a fundamentally new approach to assessing current monitoring of academic performance and midterm assessment. IAS will allow taking into account individual student achievements, including those outside the educational program, thereby increasing their motivation and ensuring an objective assessment of knowledge. For teachers, this is a tool for reducing routine workload, thanks to the automation of assessment processes, accounting, and recording of current control points.

    Vice-Rector for Digital Transformation of SPbPU, Head of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU “Digital Engineering” (AES), World-class scientific center of SPbPU “Advanced digital technologies” (NCMU) Alexey Borovkov presented the key results of the implementation of the NCMU program for 2024-2024 and spoke about the scientific and technological groundwork of the strategy and program for the university’s development until 2030 and 2036.

    Alexey Borovkov emphasized that the indicator of extra-budgetary financing of the world-class Scientific Center of SPbPU “Advanced Digital Technologies” is 101.7%, which is three times more than the average indicator for all scientific centers of medicine in Russia.

    Speaking about significant world-class research carried out by the SPbPU NCMU “Advanced Digital Technologies”, Aleksey Ivanovich highlighted the creation of a large-scale scientific and technological reserve in the field of technology for the development and application of digital twins of products, machines, and structuresDigital platform for the development and application of digital twins CML-Bench®. Compared to traditional approaches, the development of products and goods based on digital twin technology reduces time, financial and other resource costs by ten times or more.

    In conclusion, the speaker highlighted the important role of the SPbPU NCMU “Advanced Digital Technologies” in the SPbPU Technological Development Ecosystem, which ensures a balance of activities of different structures and the synergy of the best scientific technological and educational practices to achieve technological leadership, sovereignty and national security of Russia.

    The scientific and technological groundwork formed by the SPbPU NCMU on the CML-Bench® digital platform is the basis for the implementation of six national projects of technological leadership, enshrined in the development strategy of the Polytechnic University until 2030. For example, the promising direction of unmanned aircraft systems directly relies on the groundwork of the SPbPU NCMU “Advanced Digital Technologies” for several projects and developments at once. At the moment, we are actively working on creating a design environment and digital certification of unmanned aircraft systems, – shared Alexey Borovkov.

    In addition, at the meeting, members of the Academic Council voted to award the academic title of associate professor to Polytechnic employees: Maxim Izmailov (IPMET), Vasily Krundyshev (IKNK), Natalia Solodilova (IMMiT), Oleg Shagniev and Ilya Keresten (PISH CI Higher School of Advanced Digital Technologies).

    Academic Secretary Dmitry Karpov presented the work plan of the University Academic Council for the 2nd semester of the 2024-2025 academic year and reported on monitoring the implementation of the Academic Council’s decisions.

    The meeting concluded with a consideration of current issues.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: IMF Executive Board Concludes 2024 Article IV Consultation with India

    Source: IMF – News in Russian

    February 27, 2025

    Washington, DC: The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation[1] with India.

    Despite recent moderation, India’s economic growth has remained robust, with GDP growth of 6 percent y/y in the first half of 2024/25. Inflation has broadly declined within the tolerance band, though food price fluctuations have created some volatility. The financial sector has remained resilient, with non-performing loans at multi-year lows. Fiscal consolidation has continued, and the current account deficit has remained well contained, supported by strong growth in service exports.

    Real GDP is expected to grow at 6.5 percent in 2024/25 and 2025/26, supported by robust growth in private consumption on the back of sustained macroeconomic and financial stability. Headline inflation is expected to converge to target as food price shocks wane. The current account is expected to widen somewhat but remain moderate at -1.3 percent of GDP in 2025/26. Looking ahead, India’s financial sector health, strengthened corporate balance sheets, and strong foundation in digital public infrastructure underscore India’s potential for sustained medium-term growth and continued social welfare gains.

    Risks to the economic outlook are tilted to the downside. Deepening geoeconomic fragmentation could affect external demand, while deepening regional conflicts could result in oil price volatility, weighing on India’s fiscal position. Domestically, the recovery in private consumption and investment may be weaker than expected if real incomes do not recover sufficiently. Weather shocks could adversely impact agricultural output, lifting food prices and weighing on the recovery in rural consumption. On the upside, deeper implementation of structural reforms could boost private investment and employment, raising potential growth.

    Executive Board Assessment[2]

    Executive Directors commended the authorities’ prudent macroeconomic policies and reforms, which have contributed to making India’s economy resilient and once again the fastest growing major economy. Directors stressed that in the face of headwinds from geoeconomic fragmentation and slower domestic demand, continued appropriate policies remain essential to maintain macroeconomic stability. India’s strong economic performance provides an opportunity to advance critical and challenging structural reforms to realize India’s ambition of becoming an advanced economy by 2047.

    Directors commended the authorities’ commitment to fiscal prudence and welcomed the adoption of a debt target as the medium-term fiscal anchor, which has enhanced transparency and accountability. Given significant development and social needs, Directors recommended continued, well-calibrated fiscal consolidation over the medium term to rebuild buffers, ease debt service, and reduce debt. They suggested a greater focus on domestic revenue mobilization, which together with current expenditure rationalization, such as better targeting of subsidies, can create space for growth-enhancing expenditure on infrastructure and health. Notwithstanding fiscal disparities across states, Directors also broadly agreed that a more holistic fiscal framework that includes state and central government, as well as a more detailed fiscal deficit path with sufficient flexibility, could be used as an operational guide.

    Directors welcomed the Reserve Bank of India’s well-calibrated monetary policy with inflation remaining within the target band. They noted that opportunities could arise to gradually lower the policy rate further, and stressed that monetary policy should remain data-dependent and well communicated. Directors recommended greater exchange rate flexibility as the first line of defense in absorbing external shocks, with foreign exchange interventions limited to addressing disorderly market conditions. A few Directors also saw the need for foreign exchange interventions in other cases noting limitations in the current global financial safety net.

    Directors welcomed the 2024 Financial System Stability Assessment, which points to the overall resilience of India’s financial system, and encouraged the authorities to use the current favorable environment to further strengthen financial resilience. Noting pockets of vulnerability from the interconnectedness among nonbank financial institutions, banks, and markets, as well as from concentrated exposures to the power and infrastructure sectors, Directors recommended further aligning India’s framework of financial sector regulation, supervision, resolution, and safety net with international standards. A number of Directors also suggested greater flexibility in priority sector lending. Directors encouraged the authorities to further improve the AML/CFT framework.

    Directors emphasized that comprehensive structural reforms are crucial to create high-quality jobs, invigorate investment, and unleash higher potential growth. Efforts should focus on implementing labor market reforms, strengthening human capital, and supporting greater participation of women in the labor force. Boosting private investment and FDI is also vital and will require stable policy frameworks, greater ease of doing business, governance reforms, and increased trade integration which should include both tariff and nontariff reduction measures with all parties involved. In this context, Directors welcomed India’s recent tariff reductions, noting that these can enhance competitiveness and foster India’s role in global value chains. Directors commended India’s significant progress in emission intensity reduction and renewable energy deployment and agreed that a balanced climate policy framework, alongside greater access to concessional financing and technology, would be key to achieving net zero emissions by 2070. Directors also welcomed the ongoing capacity development provided to further upgrade the quality, availability, and timeliness of India’s macroeconomic and financial statistics.

    Dmitry Chernyshenko discussed the construction of a school in Bratsk with Sergei Kravtsov and the Governor of the Irkutsk Region Igor Kobzev

    Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko held a working meeting with Minister of Education Sergei Kravtsov and Governor of the Irkutsk Region Igor Kobzev on the topic of building a school in the 26th microdistrict of Bratsk.

    The issue of continuing the construction of a secondary comprehensive school for 1,275 students, which had been suspended due to a lack of funds, was raised during government hour in the Federation Council chaired by Valentina Matviyenko. To resolve it, Dmitry Chernyshenko met with Sergei Kravtsov and Igor Kobzev.

    “Creating educational infrastructure is one of the priority areas. Situations with suspensions and missed deadlines are unacceptable. I ask the Ministry of Education, together with the region, to find optimal options for solving the issue with the involvement of federal budget funds,” said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

    The Deputy Prime Minister added that the situation with the school will be taken under special control.

    “There is indeed a demand for high-quality educational infrastructure in the region, and our task is to provide comfortable conditions for the education of all children. The Ministry of Education has studied the situation. When building schools, an extremely responsible approach is important on the ground. We will keep the issue of building a school in Bratsk under control,” said Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov.

    Irkutsk Region Governor Igor Kobzev noted the importance of building a new school in Bratsk. According to him, the central part of the city is growing quite quickly, many children are appearing. Today, more than 1 thousand students in the district study in the second shift.

    “We will do everything to make the new school a real modern center for developing the potential of each child, including children with special needs, the best center for career guidance and self-determination of schoolchildren and, of course, a creative professional environment for teachers. Yes, large construction projects do not always have an easy fate, there are restraining factors, such as the complexity of the designed object, rising prices for construction materials, inflation processes, and the human factor is not excluded in some places. Our task is to complete the construction of a new school in Bratsk through joint efforts,” said Igor Kobzev.

    The Governor of the Irkutsk Region also promised that the school will accept students in September 2027.

    Source: Central Bank of Russia –

    Almost half of borrowers sign loan agreements remotely – through applications. At the same time, people often do not read the terms of the agreements. The main reasons are: a large document size, the need to follow a link, as well as trust in the manager, haste and misunderstanding of legal terms.

    These are results behavioral expertise conducted by the Bank of Russia. The regulator found out what determines the attention of financial services consumers to the terms of the agreement, which sections they consider the most and least important, what hinders the perception of significant information. For example, many borrowers think that all documents are standard and cannot be changed. However, the borrower has the right to make adjustments.

    The Bank of Russia will take the results obtained into account when finalizing the regulation of consumer lending.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: For 70% of Russian creators, working in social media is their main occupation

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    Source: State University Higher School of Economics – State University Higher School of Economics –

    New study “The Age of Creators” conducted Institute of Cultural Research HSE University confirms the growing trend of using domestic platforms by creators, emphasizing the importance of micro-influencers, short video formats and regional expansion.

    Russian platforms are catching up with their foreign counterparts in terms of opportunities provided to creators and are dynamically changing to meet the current needs of users — this is evidenced by the data from the study “The Age of Creators” conducted by the Institute for Cultural Studies of the Faculty of Humanities at the National Research University Higher School of Economics. Content authors are already choosing and noting domestic social media and platforms among the most promising platforms for work. According to experts, the main platforms for posting content are VKontakte, VK Video, VK Music and Telegram.

    Domestic platforms are constantly improving conditions for authors and expanding opportunities for content monetization. The result of these efforts is a growing share of creators for whom work in social media is an important source of income. For bloggers, the most common source of income is advertising contracts (40%), in second place are donations from the audience (34%), in third place is the creation and sale of their own products (merch, courses) (24%). According to experts, content monetization is becoming a key factor in success, and platforms are actively developing new tools to ensure it. Among them is VK AdBlogger, which provides businesses with ample opportunities for placing ads, collecting and analyzing statistics on their impressions, and optimizing promotion based on this data.

    Creative industries provide opportunities not only for those who have specialized education, but also for those who have independently mastered the necessary professional skills. Among bloggers, influencers and community administrators, only one in six says they have specialized education. In various groups of creators, 51% of surveyed designers, 49% of text specialists, 33% of sound specialists, 24% of video production specialists and 16% of bloggers and owners and administrators of communities or channels have specialized education.

    According to experts, creators who want to improve their skills often encounter barriers: lack of training programs in the required specialty, high cost of courses, irrelevance of training programs. Among the practice-oriented training programs, the experts interviewed named the programs of the Creative Laboratory Institute of Media HSE University, the University of Creative Industries Universal University and the open creative platform Prostor.

    Content creators working in social media feel a growing need for analytical and management skills from creators. According to the study, the top 5 skills in demand include creativity, digital and technical skills, a sense of trends, business thinking, and analytical skills. Creators develop the necessary competencies by working on projects in practice, learning independently, and interacting with each other in professional communities.

    Employers report a growing demand for creative professionals who effectively use the capabilities of artificial intelligence. Designers (65%) most often use AI capabilities in their professional activities, while bloggers, influencers (41%), and sound specialists (36%) use it less often. About a third of all representatives of creative industries plan to use AI in their work in the future.

    “The economy of creators is a phenomenon that has attracted the attention of foreign researchers around the world in recent years, but until now this phenomenon has not been described using Russian material,” notes Alexander Suvalko, Deputy Director of the Institute for Cultural Studies Faculty of Humanities HSE University. — In this sense, this study is cutting-edge for Russia. Today, it is difficult to assess the scale of this phenomenon due to the widespread prevalence of digital activity, but the survey and expert interviews indicate an increase in interest in creators and influencers from digital platforms and businesses.”
