    On February 10, the HSE hosted an awards ceremony for the winners and laureates of the 2024 Best Student Research Paper Competition. 1,916 papers were submitted to the competition, 320 people became winners and laureates, and the awards ceremony was held in four sections: social sciences, economic and managerial sciences, exact sciences, humanities, and creative industries.

    “An achievement to build on”

    The winners and laureates of the social sciences section were congratulated by the first vice-rector of the National Research University Higher School of Economics Vadim Radaev. He said that the audience included those who had started doing research while still students, and noted: “You did the right thing: it is better not to postpone a good deed.”

    Vadim Radaev recalled that the NIS competition was first held in 2003 in five areas, and now there are 25 of them, with students not only from HSE but also from other Russian universities participating. Each application was read by at least two experts, there were more than a thousand of them in total, and they did this voluntarily and free of charge. The First Vice-Rector also thanked the experts and organizers of the competition.

    First Vice Dean Faculty of Social Sciences Mikhail Mironyuk called winning the competition an achievement that he should build on in his future studies and career: enroll in master’s and postgraduate programs, find work in laboratories and research institutes.

    Deputy Dean for Research Faculty of Law Alexander Larichev reported that the competition included research on various sections of jurisprudence, as well as interdisciplinary research. “Your works contain a fresh, non-trivial view, and this allows us to achieve new interesting results,” he added.

    “We were able to convince the experts”

    Vice-Rector of the National Research University Higher School of Economics Sergey Roshchin spoke at the section on economic and managerial sciences. He called the victory in the research competition no less important than receiving a university diploma.

    “I am glad that among the winners of the NRS competition are students and graduates not only of HSE, but also of other universities. It is important to understand that beyond your usual environment there is a community that is moving in the same direction, solving similar problems and, perhaps, ahead of you in some ways,” the vice-rector added.

    Dean Faculty of Economic Sciences Sergey Pekarsky said that the competencies demonstrated by the winners and laureates of the NIRS competition are needed always and everywhere. One of them is the ability to persuade: they were able to convince the experts that their works are the best.

    According to the deputy director Higher School of Business HSE Igor Tsarkov, despite the importance of applied work in the field of management, “there is no more practical thing than a good theory,” and the NIRS competition contains many works completed in accordance with research canons. Associate Professor St. Petersburg School of Economics and Management Irina Sizova emphasized that the students demonstrated the ability not only to work with data, but also to collect it.

    First Vice Dean Faculty of World Economy and World Politics Igor Kovalev recalled that the competition participants achieved success with the support of their scientific supervisors, and advised not to lose contact with them.

    “The moment of triumph of the mind”

    Opening the section on humanities and creative industries, Ivan Gruzdev, Director of Internal Research and Academic Student Development at HSE, called the award ceremony for winners and laureates “a moment of triumph of the mind,” since the smartest students are sitting in the audience.

    Dean Faculty of Humanities Felix Azhimov stated that engineering and natural science disciplines are a priority all over the world today, but humanities are still in great demand. This cannot be explained by “escape from mathematics” (especially since, for example, linguists need it). The reason for the interest is different. By studying the humanities, a person demonstrates his best moral qualities, including honesty and willingness to take responsibility.

    Scientific and technological progress is certainly of decisive importance, the director clarified. Institute of Media Faculty of Creative Industries Ernest Matskyavichyus, but if there are no humanities scholars, who will tell people that it has taken place? At the same time, it is important for media workers not to turn into “pure artisans”, they value the fundamental knowledge that is provided at the HSE. In his opinion, students here conduct research, demonstrating a new view, in which there are fewer prejudices, more courage and drive.

    Deputy Dean for Research St. Petersburg School of Humanities and Arts Renata Goroshkova said that the winners and laureates of the NIRS competition are on the right path, which is “not always easy and not strewn with diamonds,” but, in her opinion, “the most interesting of all possible.”

    Feedback and recognition

    At the exact sciences section, HSE Vice-Rector Elena Odoevskaya asked students about their impressions of the NIRS competition. During an informal conversation, it became clear, in particular, that for them the competition is an opportunity to receive not only feedback, but also recognition that they are interested in participating in the HSE students and young scientists academic development project “Republic of Scientists“.

    “I would really like our partnership not to end with a diploma from the research competition and a beautiful photograph, so that you establish communication with scientists and the university administration, so that you can continue to remain in our wonderful science,” said Elena Odoevskaya. In her opinion, it is important to retain each winner and laureate of the competition in the scientific field.

    Dean Faculty of Chemistry Vitaly Kotov emphasized that HSE holds various scientific competitions for students, and if at the NIRS competition research is assessed anonymously, then at another competition, organized by the Faculty of Chemistry, participants first present their work on stands, and then give flash reports.

    Answering the question of the first vice-dean Faculty of Computer Science Tamara Voznesenskaya, what qualities a scientist should have, the students named patience, critical thinking and curiosity. She, in turn, noted that people who are characterized by curiosity find it difficult to do routine work in companies even for big money, and spoke about the opportunities for development in the scientific field.

    “The Turning Point”

    Every year, students from different campuses of the HSE participate in the research competition, and in 2024, representatives of the St. Petersburg campus achieved significant success. In the Management program, they took almost all the prizes. Among them are students of the bachelor’s program “International Business and Management“Sofia Ilyakova and Shahzodakhon Shavkatjon kizi Botirova, who took first place.

    “Our research focuses on the factors that influence the success of crowdfunding campaigns in the Russian film industry on the Planeta.ru platform. We examined two levels of campaign success – reaching 50% and 100% of the target amount, showing that success depends on the number of people who supported the project, the duration of the campaign and the stated goal. We also developed recommendations for managers in the film industry,” said Sophia.

    In the Psychology category, third place was taken by students from the Master’s programData Analytics for Business and Economics» Ekaterina Kalganova and Daria Levanovich. They studied the impact of participation in events held in coworking spaces on the formation of team creativity of employees.

    “My future plans include developing and deepening this research. I am also attracted by the prospect of publishing an article in one of the scientific journals. I am sure that winning a prize in the competition will be a turning point in my academic development,” Ekaterina noted.

    In the category “World Economy”, a student from China, Wang Jinhai, distinguished himself by taking first place. He also became a laureate in the category “Finance”. At the St. Petersburg campus, he is studying in the master’s program “Global and Regional History” and is convinced that science is his calling.

    “My research interests are quite broad. I am currently working on several other studies, the topics of which are interesting in the Russian context, and I have already submitted several articles to leading journals devoted to social sciences. I hope that winning the NIRS competition will help me interact with Russian scientists and contribute to a better understanding of their approaches to studying economics and finance,” Wang Jinhai noted.

    “Participation is already a success”

    Second place in the direction of “Urban studies, urban and transport planning” was taken by fourth-year students of the bachelor’s program “Urban planning» Zoya Ermokhina, Elizaveta Dekkusheva, Anna Kochetkova, Dmitry Moiseyev and Amira Tsarbaeva. The team was formed in the second year, and since then they have been writing scientific papers together.

    Their research for the research competition was devoted to the topic of anniversaries as drivers of urban space modernization. “The topic was suggested by our scientific supervisor Anton Valerievich Gorodnichev, and we compared 11 cases of holding anniversaries in Russia, starting with the millennium of Kazan in 2005 and ending with the millennium of Suzdal in 2024. We identified three types of modernization: an image anniversary, that is, transformations for the promotion of the city, an anniversary for solving local problems, and a mixed type,” explains Amira.

    “Our work is unique because no one before us has considered an anniversary as a modernization process. But an anniversary changes the urban space: new objects are built, infrastructure is created, improvements are carried out,” adds Dmitry. According to Elizaveta, they heard about the NRS competition from the first days of their studies at the HSE. “Even participating in it is already a success,” she says.

    Student of the Master’s program “Systems and software engineering» Ilya Derezovsky took third place in the Computer Science category. “This is my first experience of participating in a research competition, as well as the experience of writing my first serious scientific publication. Therefore, winning the competition was doubly unexpected and pleasant,” he says.

    The young scientist conducted a study in which he had to come up with an informative, visual and aesthetic way to visualize data as part of one of his projects NUL process-oriented information systems under the supervision of Alexey Mitsyuk, a senior research fellow at this laboratory and deputy dean for research at the Faculty of Computer Science. Ilya notes that he received positive experience in scientific work and the desire to continue developing in the academic environment thanks to the support of his colleagues at the laboratory.

    “The atmosphere of HSE’s scientific laboratories is unique, charged with the energy of people interested in their topic, incredibly valuable experience, support and knowledge. HSE is the best place to try yourself in science, and the research is one of the most significant events at the university, where many young researchers begin their careers,” says Ilya Derezovsky.

    Denis Manturov took part in an extended meeting of the board of the Ministry of Emergency Situations

    First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov took part in an extended meeting of the board of the Russian Ministry of Civil Defense, Emergencies and Elimination of Consequences of Natural Disasters (EMERCOM of Russia).

    “This year, as you know, the Russian Emergencies Ministry celebrates its 35th anniversary since its creation. During this time, it has established itself as an effective, highly professional structure, one of the best in the world in its field. And this is confirmed by the active international agenda of the Russian Emergencies Ministry. Last year, it took part in 20 humanitarian operations under the auspices of the UN World Food Programme. And it is always ready to provide its forces and resources to eliminate the consequences of major disasters in different parts of the world,” Denis Manturov noted.

    At the same time, the First Deputy Prime Minister emphasized, there is significant potential for improving the work of the department, primarily through more intensive use of preventive measures to protect against emergencies. For these purposes, it is necessary to more actively integrate unmanned aircraft systems into the work, expand the use of data from Earth remote sensing satellites, and introduce elements of artificial intelligence.

    In his report, the head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Alexander Kurenkov, reflected the main performance indicators of the department for the year. “The personnel took part in the liquidation of the consequences of over 270 emergency situations. Their number has decreased by 11% compared to 2023. Our main efforts were aimed at helping the population during the period of large-scale floods that affected 69 regions and over 1.5 thousand settlements. The required payments from the federal budget through the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia were delivered to the population in full. The department’s forces also responded to natural fires. In total, more than 10 thousand outbreaks were recorded. We prevented the fire from spreading to 29 settlements with a population of over 56 thousand people,” the minister emphasized.

    The department is particularly focused on protecting people in border regions and providing them with assistance. The Emergencies Ministry’s pyrotechnicians have found and neutralized over 42 thousand explosive objects. And within the framework of a special infrastructure project, 54 fire and rescue infrastructure facilities will be gradually restored. In 2024, work on 11 of them will be completed. The Zaporizhia Rescue Center has been created; it is currently being staffed and equipped.

    The head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations expressed gratitude to the Government for its attention to the issues of the department’s activities, as well as to all specialists for the courage and professionalism they demonstrated in the performance of their official duties.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Polytechnicians’ winter holidays in Svyazist, Toksovo and Kholomki

    Winter is a time of snowy landscapes, frosty evenings, and also bright events, new acquaintances and amazing discoveries. Winter shifts in the Educational and Historical Reserve “Kholomki” and at the educational and sports base “Polytechnic” in the village of Toksovo once again proved that active recreation and a rich program of Polytechnic cultural organizers can melt the ice in the literal and figurative sense.

    From January 26 to 28, the Toksovo recreation program was filled with a variety of activities: from walks to the picturesque pier to quizzes and competitions. Each day brought new impressions, uniting participants into strong teams and creating an atmosphere of friendship and fun.

    The second shift in Toksovo from January 28 to 30 was memorable for the game-introduction with searching for QR codes with tasks and a team quiz in the style of “Weak Link”, an interactive “Fashion Sentence” and the quest “Wake up as yourself. Love for yourself”, in which the participants explored their inner experiences through the theme of dreams. The rest was completed by art therapy with a disco and a movie night.

    Meanwhile, in Kholomki, the unusually warm weather for January gave the shift a special feeling – the participants seemed to be outside of space and time.

    The theme of the shift this time suggested experimentation. For example, in an immersive performance, everyone influenced the development of events and the ending of the story of a fictional town. In another event, the space was divided into two worlds: in one of them, players faced failures, but these very mistakes opened up new opportunities in the second, helping the team move towards victory.

    The student shift had hardly ended when a landing party of PROF leaders and activists arrived in Kholomki. Two days of intensive strategic sessions helped shape the further development trajectory of the organization, and team events united the renewed team. The trip to Kholomki became not only a platform for discussions, but also an important stage in the formation of a united team striving for a successful future.

    Meanwhile, a GO training and educational seminar was taking place at the Svyazist recreation center. About a month before the start, teams were formed, each with about 11 people from two or three institutes. In the time remaining before departure, the activists prepared events on topics proposed by the organizers.

    At GO itself, after each day, the team responsible for it received comments and suggestions from the organizers in order to work on the mistakes and improve the results. This interaction is the goal of GO — developing personal skills in holding events. At the end of the trip, the teams received general awards — “Best Day of GO,” “Best Event of GO,” and “Best Media Coverage of Their Day at GO,” as well as personal ones, the main one being “Breakthrough of the Year.”

    Vitaly Savelyev held the final meeting of the board of JSC Russian Railways for 2024. On the right is the company’s general director Oleg Belozerov

    The final meeting of the Board of Directors of JSC Russian Railways for 2024 was held in Moscow under the chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev.

    In 2024, the company’s investment program reached a record volume: it amounted to almost 1.5 trillion rubles. In the year of the 50th anniversary of the legendary BAM, the railway workers fully fulfilled their obligations. The second stage of the Eastern Polygon development was completed and the target carrying capacity parameter of 180 million tons was achieved. The legendary construction project, which began 50 years ago, continues with the efforts of a new generation of railway workers and builders who are successfully coping with the tasks set.

    The passenger complex of Russian Railways showed exceptional results in 2024: almost 1.3 billion people were transported in total – a record figure for the past 16 years, growth by 2023 was 7.2%. One of the main social tasks for the country was fulfilled – passenger transportation to the south was ensured as part of the summer health campaign.

    A significant event in 2024 was the start of the project to build the country’s first high-speed railway line Moscow – St. Petersburg, 679 km long, which will reduce travel time between Moscow and St. Petersburg by almost half – from 4 hours to 2 hours 15 minutes.

    The Deputy Prime Minister noted that Russian Railways is currently facing equally ambitious tasks. In pursuance of the President’s May decree, the Government has completed the formation of the national project “Efficient Transport System”, in which rail transport plays an important role. In order to achieve a 1.5-fold increase in transportation volumes along international transport corridors, it is envisaged to continue developing approaches to the seaports of the Azov-Black Sea and North-West basins and the infrastructure of the Eastern Polygon of Railways, and work is continuing on the implementation of the high-speed railway project.

    “JSC Russian Railways successfully solves large-scale tasks to increase passenger transportation, build new transport and logistics routes and strengthen technological sovereignty. In modern conditions, the company ensures high quality and safety of passenger and freight transportation. According to the results of 2024, rail transport accounted for 83% of freight turnover and about 28% of passenger turnover of the entire transport system of the country. I am confident that the team of JSC Russian Railways will make every effort to achieve the goals set by the President of the Russian Federation and the successful implementation of all plans outlined for the current year,” said Vitaly Savelyev.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Amur tiger, anteaters and potto: how the Moscow Zoo’s scientific department helps preserve rare animals

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Balancing the diet of African potto primates, making recommendations for improving the conditions of rare and endangered species, and trying to collect data on the world’s most secretive and least studied animals are the challenges facing Moscow Zoo. On February 12, it celebrates its 161st birthday. The zoo is not only an entertainment venue where you can see exotic representatives of the fauna and, without leaving the capital, take a trip through the jungle, savannah and desert. Scientists also work here who study the behavior and characteristics of animals, try to create conditions for them close to the natural environment, and make every effort to preserve and reproduce rare species on the planet.

    We tell you what the zoo’s scientific department is working on, why giant anteaters have become the focus of specialists’ attention, and whether it is possible to see a Pallas’s cat in the steppe.

    From the South American sector to zoological books

    The Moscow Zoological Garden was founded in 1864 by Professor of Natural Sciences Karl Roullier and his students Anatoly Bogdanov and Sergey Usov. From the very beginning, scientists planned to collect here rare animals, birds and fish living not only in different parts of the Russian Empire, but also in distant hot countries. Inquisitive visitors were allowed here, but the zoo was never a fairground attraction, but a serious research center.

    “It is thanks to the efforts of zoos that we have managed to save species that are on the verge of extinction. Among them are the sable, the Przewalski’s horse, David’s deer, the bison, and the California condor,” says Sergei Khlyupin, head of the scientific department of the Moscow Zoo.

    Today, the scientific department has a team of five employees. It also includes a sector of South American inhabitants, where giant anteaters, capybaras, llamas, vicuñas and guanacos are kept.

    “For example, giant anteaters last lived in the Moscow Zoo in the late 1970s. When they were brought here again, we began collecting information about the care of these animals, observing their behavior, and sharing data with colleagues from other zoos around the world,” notes Sergei Khlyupin.

    In addition, the scientific department includes a library. “It contains 16 thousand books on zoology, some of which were published back in the 19th century. The collection is constantly being expanded. Now access to scientific literature is open to everyone. You can come with your passport, sign up, get a user card and read the publications in the reading room,” says the mos.ru source.

    Natural habitat

    According to Sergei Khlyupin, one of the main tasks of his employees is to help preserve endangered representatives of the planet’s fauna.

    “Zoos create conditions as close to natural as possible so that animals do not lose their behavioral repertoire. In this way, we will have the opportunity, if necessary, to release extinct species into the wild (this is one of the main goals of zoos), where they can survive,” notes Sergey Khlyupin.

    During the day, zoologists watch animals on monitors: the broadcast from video cameras is conducted around the clock. They process the received data, enter it into computer programs and tables.

    In 2024, Moscow Zoo staff began working on a project to assess the welfare of capybaras.

    “We answer questions from a special questionnaire every day: how the animals behave, what they react to, how often they eat, and so on. This protocol was adapted to assess the conditions of keeping capybaras, methodological recommendations were developed, and a background assessment of the level of well-being was conducted. At the end of the year, together with colleagues from the Sakhalin and Leningrad zoos, the Limpopo zoo (Nizhny Novgorod) and the Moskvarium, we assessed the well-being of the capybaras. Next, we plan to adapt the methodology for other animals,” says Sergey Khlyupin.

    The results are published in the annual collection of scientific research of the Moscow Zoo. It was first published in the 90s of the 20th century under the direction of Vladimir Spitsyn, who held the position of director at the time. The publication also includes articles from zoological organizations of the world, translated into Russian.

    The staff of the scientific department are currently preparing the next collection of scientific research of the Moscow Zoo in two volumes for publication. Among the articles there will also be works devoted to the African primates potto.

    “There are six pottos in the zoo: three males and the same number of females. These are small primates native to Africa. They cannot jump and move quite slowly. Visitors are often surprised that these animals are primates. Pottos are rare representatives of the fauna, and you will hardly ever see them in other zoos. The difficulty is that these semi-apes are endemic to the western part of Central Africa, live in forests, become active at night, move silently, can sit motionless for hours, hiding from predators, and almost never come down from the trees. Therefore, it is not easy to observe them in the wild,” explains Anna Kizik, a senior researcher at the Moscow Zoo.

    Previously, when pottos were brought to zoos, the animals were fed dairy products and fruits, thinking that this was suitable food for mammals from the tropics. However, such a diet led to metabolic disorders in the prosimians, and their lifespan was shortened. Employees of the scientific department of the Moscow Zoo tested more than 50 types of products and found out that the inhabitants of Africa do not like sweets, eat watery fruits from trees only in the rainy season, and in drought they feed on resin and hunt insects.

    “Although they have the same conditions in the zoo all year round, the air temperature is always 23 degrees, their biological clocks work properly: pottos clearly sense the change of seasons, so they need to be fed in accordance with these internal ‘sensors’,” adds the mos.ru interlocutor.

    It was also possible to find out that pottos are social animals and love to communicate with their relatives. At the same time, they can have different characters and habits. For example, some prefer to sleep longer, while others do not.

    Pottos at the Moscow Zoo have created three families, and one of the females is the daughter of an older couple. “The birth of a baby is our achievement, since pottos usually do not reproduce in captivity. When we introduced the female to a single male, their relationship was very touching. At first, they looked at each other for a long time, and then the future husband gave his favorite hammock to his bride,” laughs Anna Kizik.

    From the Zoo to Expeditions

    Another area of activity for the scientific department employees is participation in expeditions. Thus, in the spring of 2024, a delegation from the Moscow Zoo went to the Kalmyk reserve “Chernye Zemli”.

    “We usually go on an expedition when we need to help animals in trouble or collect additional information about their life in the wild. In Kalmykia, we had to assess the health of saigas and check them for infectious diseases, including pasteurellosis, which is dangerous for them. In the spring, the animals have a breeding season, during which veterinarians can notice weak individuals leaving the pack and collect the necessary material. We also visited Altai, where we discussed with colleagues the preservation of snow leopards and manuls in the wild – the rarest cats in Russia. We installed camera traps to observe them. We managed to see one manul in person, despite the fact that they almost always hide from people,” says Sergey Khlyupin.

    And in October last year, specialists from the Moscow Zoo visited the Land of the Leopard National Park, the Sikhote-Alin Nature Reserve, the Utes rehabilitation center, the Tiger Center interregional public organization, and the Primorsky Zoo in the Far East. “We discussed wolverines, Far Eastern leopards, Amur tigers, Himalayan bears, and yellow-throated martens, as well as the goals and objectives of further cooperation,” says our interlocutor.

    The Moscow Zoo’s scientific department cooperates with various research institutes, reserves, national parks and other nature conservation organizations throughout the country and beyond. After all, the planet is one and maintaining its ecosystem is a common cause.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Yuri Trutnev visited the Jewish Autonomous Region

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

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

    As part of a working visit to the Jewish Autonomous Region, Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev held a meeting on issues of socio-economic development of the Jewish Autonomous Region, inspected the regional hospital, and familiarized himself with the construction of a new bridge across the Bira.

    Yuri Trutnev held a meeting on the socio-economic development of the Jewish Autonomous Region

    “A new team has arrived in the Jewish Autonomous Region, headed by Maria Fedorovna Kostyuk. We have already had the opportunity to communicate with colleagues some time ago, exchange opinions, and highlight the main development priorities. The region is not simple. It needs to be supported, it needs to be helped. At the same time, some prerequisites for future development in the region are already visible today. The constructed cross-border railway bridge Nizhneleninskoye – Tongjiang creates opportunities for new logistics routes and cargo handling. We are preparing to implement the President’s instruction on master plans for Far Eastern cities. It is planned to allocate 554 billion rubles for 57 events of all Far Eastern master plans, 115 billion rubles have already been allocated. Further work will be carried out within a month,” Yuri Trutnev opened the meeting.

    Acting Governor of the region Maria Kostyuk reported on the main directions of socio-economic development of the Jewish Autonomous Region. “First of all, investments in the Jewish Autonomous Region should bring real benefits to residents. It is important not only to replenish the regional budget, but also to solve people’s problems: to build residential buildings, create new jobs and convenient infrastructure. The priority is precisely those projects that, with the involvement of federal funds, will help to significantly improve life in the autonomy,” said Maria Kostyuk.

    The regional investment projects were presented, which envisage the development of the bridgehead area near the Nizhneleninskoye – Tongjiang railway bridge, the development of a port cluster for handling bulk cargo and containers on the Amur River, the development of the Topolikhinsky section of the Soyuznoye graphite deposit (OOO Dalgrafit), the creation of a single metallurgical cluster based on the Kimkano-Sutarsky Mining and Processing Plant (OOO Kimkano-Sutarsky GOK), and the development of the Savkinskoye brucite deposit (OOO Russian Mining and Chemical Society).

    The meeting reviewed the implementation of the construction of multi-apartment residential buildings in the region under the Far Eastern Quarter program. In June 2023, JSC KRDV and the winner of the competitive selection, DV-Region Invest LLC, signed an agreement on the implementation of activities for the construction of capital construction projects intended for the placement of residential premises in the Amuro-Khinganskaya advanced development area. The project provides for the construction of multi-apartment residential buildings with a total area of 178.9 thousand square meters, including 176.7 thousand square meters of social housing. In total, the project provides for 72 residential sections with a variable number of storeys – 7-10 floors. The approximate number of apartments is 2945 for 8834 people.

    As part of the state support for the implementation of the Far Eastern Quarter program in the Jewish Autonomous Region, it is envisaged to finance the construction of infrastructure – water drainage and water supply networks, a highway and technological connection to utility networks at the expense of the federal budget. The project is being implemented in three stages. The commissioning of the first stage (at least 44 thousand square meters) is expected by the end of 2028. The commissioning of the entire residential complex is planned for the end of 2032. Currently, design and estimate documentation is being developed.

    “To implement the Far Eastern Quarter program, it is important to adjust the rules in the area of pricing per square meter. According to the Ministry of Construction, a solution will be found – so that the target price allows the investor to implement this project,” noted the Minister for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic, Alexey Chekunkov.

    The implementation of the Far Eastern Concession program in the region was discussed. “We will continue to support large-scale projects that have already been approved under the Far Eastern concession. This includes the reconstruction of the bridge across the Bira River and the construction of an overpass,” explained the head of the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East.

    Summing up, Yuri Trutnev emphasized the importance of attracting investments to the Jewish Autonomous Region. “The development of the Far East regions is based on new investment projects and attracting investments. Such work is being carried out in the Jewish Autonomous Region, but the region is not yet among the leaders in this indicator. This means only one thing: work with investors must be continued and every project must be helped. Therefore, Maria Fedorovna and the entire team that she leads have a lot of work ahead of them, in which we will obviously help in any way we can,” Yuri Trutnev concluded.

    In Birobidzhan, the Deputy Prime Minister inspected the main medical institution of the region. The modernization of the material and technical base of the Regional Hospital has been implemented since 2018 as part of the social development plan for economic growth centers in the Jewish Autonomous Region. The presidential unified subsidy was used to repair and equip the regional vascular center, X-ray diagnostic rooms, purchase medical equipment to open a second-stage neonatal care department, purchase a CT machine, other high-tech equipment and furniture, and ambulances. Six out of 12 clinical departments of the regional hospital have been renovated. The roof has been repaired, windows have been replaced, construction and installation work on the oxygen supply system has been completed with the installation of equipment, the facade has been repaired, special clothing and soft inventory, kitchen utensils, furniture, and equipment have been purchased.

    The modernization of the main medical institution of the autonomy will continue. More than 300 million rubles have been allocated from the federal budget for 2024-2026. At the moment, the diagnostic department and the central entrance group are being renovated. The elevators have already been launched. Furniture is being purchased for the full functioning of the renovated departments. The measures taken have significantly improved the quality of medical care in the institution.

    On the same day, Yuri Trutnev visited the construction site where a new bridge across the Bira is being built and a modern transport corridor is being constructed from the federal highway “Amur” to the bridge crossing Nizhneleninskoye – Tongjiang. Both projects are part of the long-term plan for the development of the urban agglomeration.

    The decision to allocate federal funds to the region for the modernization of transport infrastructure was made in September 2024 at a meeting of the Presidium of the Government Commission on the Socioeconomic Development of the Far East, headed by Yuri Trutnev. More than 18.9 billion rubles are needed for the construction of transport infrastructure facilities. Most of these funds – 17.1 billion rubles – were allocated to the region from the federal budget. This includes design work for all facilities.

    The first project is the construction of a new bridge across the Bira River, which will connect the two parts of Birobidzhan. The old bridge was built in 1962, traffic on it is limited. Now the infrastructure of the existing bridge is also used for heat supply, a heating main has been installed under it to provide heat to 20 thousand residents of the southern part of the city, as well as to provide new housing construction. The new bridge will be located on the site of the old one. Its length will be 350 m, access roads will be built and coastal protection works will be carried out.

    The second project is the construction of a transport corridor from the federal highway “Amur” to the bridge crossing Nizhneleninskoye – Tongjiang. A road will be built that will directly connect the regional highway with the federal highway “Amur”. The project also provides for the construction of a bridge crossing over the Ikura River, overpasses over the Trans-Siberian Railway on the Birobidzhan-1 – Ikura section and the Leninskaya railway line on the Birobidzhan-1 – Birobidzhan-2 section, as well as the construction of an overpass in the area of the village of Ptichnik near Sovetskaya Street.

    The concession agreements were signed in December last year. The concession agreement on the reconstruction of the Birobidzhan-Ungun-Leninskoye road (km 0 – km 8) and the construction of an overpass in the area of the village of Ptichnik was signed between the government of the Jewish Autonomous Region and IFR-Vostok 2 LLC. The concession agreement on the design, construction and operation of the bridge crossing over the Bira River in Birobidzhan was concluded with IFR-Vostok 1 LLC. Since January 2025, the designers have begun design and survey work.

    It is expected that the implementation of the projects will have a positive impact on transport accessibility, will reduce the time of arrival of emergency services and the level of accidents on the roads, will increase the pace of construction in the region, including under the Far Eastern Quarter program. Also, within the framework of the implementation of concession agreements, new jobs will be created in the region.

    Video greeting from Tatyana Golikova to the participants, guests and organizers of the forum “Social priorities in the development of responsible business – contribution to the achievement of national goals”

    From the transcript:

    T.Golikova: Dear colleagues! I am pleased to welcome the participants, guests and organizers of the forum “Social Priorities in the Development of Responsible Business – Contribution to Achieving National Goals”, which is being held by the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs.

    Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has defined the key national goal as preserving the population, strengthening health and improving the well-being of people, and supporting families. To solve these problems, new national projects have been launched since January 2025.

    The work that was done within the framework of the national projects “Demography”, “Healthcare”, “Culture”, as well as the Year of the Family, laid a reliable foundation that allows us to build and strengthen a system of comprehensive support for motherhood, fatherhood and childhood, care for the older generation and the preservation of our traditional cultural values within the framework of the national project “Family”. Its main task is to ensure a sustainable increase in the birth rate, increase the number of large families and the growth of their well-being.

    Thanks to the measures taken, the poverty level is gradually decreasing. Compared to 2018, the decrease was 37% – to 8% by the end of the third quarter of 2024.

    At the same time, within the framework of the national project “Family”, we set ourselves a more serious task – reducing the level of poverty among large families.

    In conditions where more and more young people are focused on building a career, the issue of combining family responsibilities, education and professional prospects is becoming increasingly relevant. Both social and financial support measures for families with children, accessibility of preschool education, and the opportunity to maintain competencies and receive additional education while on maternity leave are important.

    Within the framework of the national project “Demography”, almost 1 million citizens received free training, including 260 thousand women with preschool-age children.

    We continue this event within the framework of the national project “Personnel”, which is aimed at training specialists for the needs of the economy. Its goal is to coordinate the efforts of educational institutions, employment centers, companies and the state. We need to form a flexible, effective system of training specialists, focused on the needs of the economy.

    The national projects “Long and Active Life” and “New Health Preservation Technologies” are aimed at increasing life expectancy, increasing the duration of healthy and active life, improving the availability and effectiveness of medical care, introducing modern medical technologies, and preserving the life and health of our citizens.

    To successfully solve problems of this scale, it is necessary to consolidate the efforts of the state, business and the whole society.

    We are pleased to note the desire of businesses to participate in social projects. In order to maintain the health of workers and stimulate a healthy lifestyle within the framework of the national project “Demography” in 85 regions, enterprises implemented corporate programs to improve the health of workers.

    To increase the birth rate and large families, companies are actively implementing healthy lifestyle programs, introducing measures to support employees with family responsibilities, which are aimed not only at employees, but also at creating favorable conditions in the territories where the organizations are present.

    The most common corporate social practices are assistance in organizing summer vacations for children, organizing leisure activities for families with children, additional leave in connection with the birth of a child, the possibility of remote work for employees with children, and one-time financial assistance in connection with the birth of a child.

    The head of state has made a number of decisions to develop corporate family policy: payments by employers in the amount of up to 1 million rubles at the birth of children have been exempted from personal income taxes, and a decision has been made to introduce a national ranking of employers based on the number of employees with preschool-age children.

    On behalf of the President of the country, the National Award “Leaders of Responsible Business” was established in 2023, which emphasizes the importance of social responsibility of business and its contribution to improving the demographic situation, supporting families with children, youth, and developing human capital.

    Responsible business leaders invest significant resources in creating jobs based on advanced technologies, training personnel, improving working conditions, providing social guarantees to employees, and participate in solving socially significant problems in the regions where they operate.

    Best practices are encouraged within the nominations of the All-Russian competition “Russian Organization of High Social Efficiency” and the All-Russian competition of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs “Business Flagships: Dynamics, Responsibility, Sustainability”. Based on the best practices of our companies, recommendations of the Russian Tripartite Commission for the Regulation of Social and Labor Relations to the parties to social partnership on the development and implementation of corporate social policy measures to support employees with family responsibilities by employers have been developed and approved.

    By acting responsibly, companies strengthen their market positions, their reputation as a responsible employer, entrepreneur, partner, use opportunities related to sustainable development, and at the same time contribute to positive changes not only in the economy, but also in the social sphere, in the implementation of national projects and the achievement of national development goals.

    I wish you interesting discussions, constructive communication, expansion of the circle of responsible companies and new successes!

  • MIL-OSI Russia: The NSU Scientific Library has begun preparing to move to a new building housing flowing lecture halls

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    Source: Novosibirsk State University – Novosibirsk State University –

    The NSU Scientific Library will be located on the first floor of the flow auditorium building, which is part of the facilities modern campus of NSU, being built as part of the national project “Youth and Children”, and is part of a multifunctional space with an area of about 2.5 thousand square meters. Permission to commission the new facility was received on December 28, 2024. In total, more than 600 thousand books with a total weight of about 180 tons will be transported in the coming months. In total, the capacity of the book depository in the new building will be almost 1 million copies.

    — The locations in the flow auditorium building will be equipped with technologies from the NSU Artificial Intelligence Center based on the “smart home” principle. The state-of-the-art scientific library with elements of artificial intelligence in the new NSU campus is part of a multifunctional space: it includes a free-plan area where students can gather and work in groups, as well as quiet areas with media screens, acoustic panels with content generation that will be selected to suit the mood of the students. This is the most comfortable environment that sets students up not only for learning, but also for full self-realization, which corresponds to the objectives of the new national project “Youth and Children”, developed on behalf of the President of the Russian Federation, — noted Vice-Governor Irina Manuilova.

    Library staff have already started packing books into bundles; the actual move will begin at the end of May, when the new building is completed with the necessary furniture and equipment. By September, the entire library collection will need to be moved and all books and magazines will need to be placed on shelves.

    — The new building will have comfortable rooms for independent work of students with 24-hour access. Students will be able to use self-service stations to check out books that will appear in the open collection. They will be able to take them home and return them at any time. In the reading room, all literature will also be in open access — students will have the opportunity to independently choose the textbook or scientific publication of recent years that they are interested in, — said Tatyana Markova, Deputy Director of the NSU Scientific Library.

    The library will have modern technical capabilities for its employees. Publications with open access will be equipped with radio frequency tags, which will allow for an automated inventory of this part of the collection.

    The library will be equipped with a machine for automatic dust removal and maintenance of stored books, Depulvera. Books are cleaned of dust and particles of harmful microorganisms from six sides, directly in the machine chamber. Rotating self-cleaning brushes made of natural materials that are safe for processing books and documents are used for this.

    The book depositories will also be equipped with mobile shelves with an electric drive and computer control. The compact storage system will allow free placement of library funds, while the capabilities of the existing book depository of NSU have long been exhausted.

    On February 7, in anticipation of two important dates in Russian history – the 300th anniversary of the death of Russian Emperor Peter I and Russian Science Day, the House of Books hosted a presentation of the monograph “Peter the Great: Meanings and Discourses of Time”, written by Marina Arkannikova, Director of the Higher School of Media Communications and Public Relations of the SPbPU Institute of Geography.

    The Arts Hall of the Book House brought together students and teachers of the Polytechnic University, residents and guests of the city for an important conversation about the legacy of the first Russian emperor. The discussion combined a historical assessment and analysis of existential threats, geopolitical challenges to Russia’s sovereignty, as well as tools for protecting the Russian world. Introducing her scientific work, Marina Sergeevna spoke about the idea of the publication and emphasized that the key task of the book was to rethink the contours of Russia’s civilizational future through the prism of Peter’s legacy.

    “Three centuries later, the genius of Peter the Great not only continues to amaze and excite the imagination, but has also determined the development of Russian social and political thought throughout this time, and has been the starting point for discussions about the historical fate of Russia and discussions about Russian civilization. His geopolitical vision and political rhetoric today, more than ever, are in tune with the country’s national security strategy, which defends sovereign rights to identity and statehood, the preservation of the nation’s cognitive code, and the protection of the mentality of the Russian world,” Marina Arkannikova addressed the meeting participants. “And today, on the eve of the date of Peter I’s death, this is not only a tribute to his memory, but also a relevant dialogue with the past, which helps us understand the present and future of our country.”

    The research conducted by Marina Sergeevna is fundamentally important for modern science, since it is a calm constructive attitude to the colossal potential of the Peter the Great theme, which records the museumification of Peter’s legacy, the politics of memory. Therefore, this book is very important today, – noted the author of the preface to the publication, Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation Grigory Tulchinsky.

    Speaking about the empirical part of the study, Marina Sergeevna thanked the Director General of the State Hermitage, Honorary Doctor of SPbPU Mikhail Piotrovsky for the opportunity to carry out sociological research of visitors to the Peter the Great Gallery, as well as for the provided photo materials from the exhibition. She expressed sincere gratitude for the support in the work on the publication to the reviewers, designer, editor, and administration of the Publishing and Printing Center of the Polytechnic University.

    Marina Arkannikova emphasized the value of the fact that the book presentation took place in the year of the 115th anniversary of the Polytechnic being given the name “St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute of Emperor Peter the Great”. She told the audience that on January 19, 1910, Emperor Nicholas II signed a decree on assigning this status, which the university held until 1918, and only in 2015, on the initiative of SPbPU Rector Andrei Rudskoy, the Polytechnic was returned to its historical name.

    After the presentation, the audience asked questions. They noted the multifaceted and contradictory nature of Peter’s image, the influence of his reforms on Russian society and culture. Concluding the meeting, the presenter reminded that the book can be purchased at the Dom Knigi store.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: 14 new charging stations for electric buses installed in Moscow

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Moscow continues to develop its eco-friendly transport network. Since the beginning of this year, 14 new charging stations for electric buses have appeared in the Ivanovskoye, Dmitrovsky and Konkovo districts. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry Maxim Liksutov.

    “With the advent of new charging stations, more electric buses are being put on routes instead of buses. Today, more than 360 ultra-fast chargers have been installed in the capital, which provide operation for over 2.3 thousand electric buses. We are expanding the network of environmentally friendly urban transport, as instructed by Sergei Sobyanin,” said Maxim Liksutov.

    To recharge the battery, the electric bus drives up to the station and the pantograph is connected to the charging dome. The charging stations are suitable for all models of electric buses and work in any weather.

    Eco-friendly and comfortable transport

    Moscow is the leader in Europe in the number of electric buses. Replacing one bus with this type of eco-friendly transport reduces carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere by 60 tons per year.

    Since 2022, electric buses with improved equipment have been arriving in the capital. These models have adaptive interior lighting: it changes from cold to warm at 2:00 p.m., making the trip more comfortable. The front route indicator, enlarged by 18 percent, makes it easier to see the vehicle number from afar. To maintain the temperature in the interior, an electric heater is installed, which does not have a negative impact on the environment.

    The range of modern electric buses has been increased from 40–50 to 80–90 kilometers while maintaining the same weight of the vehicle. In 2024, updated KamAZ and LiAZ buses began to hit the road.

    For the convenience of passengers, the cabins are equipped with a climate control system, USB and Type-C ports for charging gadgets, as well as media screens that broadcast up-to-date information about the next stops.

    Infrastructure for electric buses

    Moscow became the first city in Russia to start building modern electric bus parks. In 2022, the largest park in Europe, Krasnaya Pakhra, opened in TiNAO. In 2023, the Mitino park was built, providing 20 districts of the capital and two cities in the Moscow region with an environmentally friendly mode of transport. At the end of 2023, the Saltykovka innovative park began operating, serving routes in the east of Moscow. Today, electric buses are charged and serviced at 12 sites of Mosgortrans State Unitary Enterprise.

    New equipment deliveries and development of charging infrastructure will allow creating more routes. Today, about 2.3 thousand electric buses run on more than 180 routes.

    In accordance with the objectives of the national project “Infrastructure for life” In the capital, much attention is paid to the modernization of social and communal infrastructure, including increasing the number of convenient public transport routes and updating rolling stock.

    In addition, within the framework of the national project, Moscow has begun developing the Central Transport Hub. It will become a single circuit with regular suburban rail transport for more than 30 million residents of 11 regions of Russia.

This was reported by Maria Bagreeva, Deputy Mayor of Moscow, Head of the Department of Economic Policy and City Development.

    The gold medal in the category “Construction, civil engineering and architecture” was won by the collection of standards for assessing the costs of operating urban facilities (SN-2012). The organizers also awarded it a special prize for the high level of the product.

In addition, the project was awarded a special prize by the Japan Intellectual Property Association (JIPA) as the best innovative IT development.

    The investment program registry won a silver medal in the category “Environmental protection, energy, water supply, green technologies”. In addition, it was awarded a diploma by the World Association of Women Inventors and Entrepreneurs as the best development.

    “The digital technologies that Moscow is implementing to improve the quality of life of the population and improve the business climate of the Russian capital are receiving recognition from the expert community at the international level. The SN-2012 collection contains prices for all types of work and services for the maintenance and repair of schools, clinics, parks, roads, bridges and other city facilities. This information helps the city avoid unjustified costs and provides businesses with equal conditions for participation in government procurement,” noted Maria Bagreeva.

    She also emphasized that the robotic system “Risk-oriented approach to the execution of state contracts” allows organizations to control the timely payment of contracts and reduces the time for auditing subordinate institutions. The register of investment programs, in turn, simplifies the interaction between project initiators and potential investors, which accelerates the implementation of significant city initiatives.

    In 2024, the main IPITEX awards were given to the Unified Data Warehouse database, as well as the digital mechanism for forming purchases in the healthcare system within the Expertise platform. The model for predicting citizens’ fees in the Tariff information and analytical system won a bronze medal.

    Professional athletes fulfilled the dream of 17-year-old Margarita, a pupil of a center for orphans, as part of the project “Let’s Be Friends!” The girl attended a training session with experienced figure skaters, reported Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.

    “We strive to create comfortable and favorable conditions for children who find themselves in a difficult life situation. Thanks to the “Let’s Be Friends!” project, young Muscovites can find friends, mentors, and decide on a career choice. Over 4.5 years, the project has helped fulfill more than 220 children’s wishes, including meeting famous people. This time, we decided to organize training for the children on Vorobyovy Gory under the guidance of outstanding athletes. The day before, on February 11, Olympic champions held a master class for the children of orphanages at the skating rink of the Palace of Pioneers. Professional figure skaters, bobsledders, and hockey players showed the children the techniques of sharp turns and braking on ice,” said Anastasia Rakova.

    Margarita’s friends from orphanage centers, as well as Olympic champion and president of the Association for the Development of Mass Figure Skating Ekaterina Deputat (Bobrova) and world championship medalist, master of sports Andrey Deputat came to support her. They conducted a full training session for the beginning figure skater, paying attention to the correct body position, technique of performing steps, turns, safe falls and basic elements of figure skating.

    According to Margarita, she liked the spins, runs and skating on one leg the most. She had seen these elements at competitions before, and now she could repeat them herself. The girl quickly mastered the new movements and even helped her friends. She noted that she received a boost of inspiration and will continue to develop in her favorite sport.

    “We started the master class with a number performed by Andrey to inspire the children. Our main message is that all children understand that everyone is capable of mastering figure skating, it is not as difficult as it seems. Margarita skates very well, it is clear that she is truly inspired and this helps her not to give up, even when she did not succeed the first time. We will be glad to see her in the ranks of amateur figure skaters,” Ekaterina Deputat emphasized.

    Olympic bobsleigh champion Dmitry Trunenkov and famous hockey players Aslan Raisov and Stanislav Katsuba taught children hockey skating. They demonstrated the techniques of acceleration, sharp turns, balancing and stopping on the ice. The children enthusiastically mastered new skills that develop strength, coordination and endurance. Dmitry, on behalf of all the participants of the “Star Troopers” team, wished the children to be confident in their abilities, not to be afraid to set the most ambitious goals and go towards their dreams, and he and his colleagues and friends will always help with this.

    The Let’s Be Friends! project helps orphans and children from families in difficult life situations find friends, mentors and decide on a future profession. Last year, the participants met cosmonauts and visited the Moscow Planetarium. Movie and TV fans were able to talk to famous actors and see how news is created. A meeting with Olympic champion Alina Zagitova brought special joy.

    The project’s partners have already reached 15 organizations. In addition to the representatives of “Star Troopers”, the participants include, for example, the Moscow transport team, the Moscow Zoo, the Alliance for the Protection of Children in the Digital Environment, the Spartak football club, and the Che theater.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Retrospectives, festivals, solo exhibitions. The main projects of the Moscow Museum of Modern Art in 2025

    Translartion. Region: Russians Fedetion –

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    The Moscow Museum of Modern Art is planning a large-scale program for 2025. Visitors will be presented with retrospectives, personal exhibitions of young artists and research projects, and the museum will also take part in regional festivals. Details are in the mos.ru article.

    “The museum is one of the city’s key venues where Muscovites and visitors to the capital can get acquainted with contemporary art. This year we are implementing more than 40 exhibitions, including a large-scale project dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War,” noted the Minister of the Moscow Government, head of the city Department of Culture

    Alexey Fursin.

    In February, the exhibition “This is the best we have. The Art Newspaper Russia’s choice” opens in the building on Gogolevsky Boulevard (10). It is based on the most striking interviews with artists published in the publication over the past 10 years and collected in the book “The Art Newspaper Russia presents: 25 interviews with contemporary artists. 2014–2024”. The title of the exhibition was inspired by the work of Valery Chtak, one of the authors whose works will be on display. It will bring together artists of different generations — from Ilya Kabakov and Erik Bulatov to Recycle Group — and will demonstrate a wide range of creative approaches, a variety of styles and views represented on the Russian art scene.

    On April 30, an exhibition dedicated to the 80th anniversary of victory in the Great Patriotic War will open in the building on Petrovka. The anniversary project focuses not only on works from the museum’s collection, but also on Russian military memorials and monuments. The exhibition is dedicated to commemorative practices — visual forms of collective cultural memory of the last 30 years. The curators examine striking artistic ensembles, often complex works by groups of authors. One of the central themes of the exhibition is Victory Park on Poklonnaya Gora in Moscow, the ontology of images and themes associated with the Great Patriotic War. Of the diverse works of art from the 20th–21st centuries, those were chosen that reflect the phenomenon of memory not literally, but on a symbolic level. The exhibition also includes works by artists who are war veterans and works created in 1941–1945.

    In the autumn, Petrovka will host the exhibition “Head of a Contemporary. From the Collection of Denis Khimilyayne”, curated by Alexander Dashevsky. The project will unite works of Soviet unofficial art and Russian contemporary art, and will help to understand the principles of selection and the taste of the collector. The exhibition, consisting of 18 sections, will reveal a wide variety of topics – from fear and despair to humor, paradoxes and dreamlike images. The exhibition will feature works by Vadim Sidur, Boris Sveshnikov, Nikita Alekseev, Vladimir Yankilevsky, Khaim Sokol, Vladislav Mamyshev-Monroe, Semyon Faibisovich, Boris Orlov, Francisco Infante-Arana and other masters.

    Personal projects of contemporary artists

    In March, Gogolevsky Boulevard will host an exhibition by Evgenia Tut about human self-awareness, being in a place of power, and sacred encounters. In August, the same place will host an exhibition by Georgy and Irina Totibadze, covering 10 years of their work and displaying both widely known and new works. In the spring, Petrovka will host a series of works by LU (Lyusya Solovieva) created specifically for the Moscow Museum of Modern Art and dedicated to the nuances of human emotions that often remain unexpressed. In the summer, the same place will host an exhibition by Ksenia Dranish, an artist who addresses images of the unconscious through painting, ceramics, installations, and video art. At the end of the year, Gogolevsky Boulevard will host an exhibition by Rostan Tavasiev, “The Hare’s Path to the Stars,” bringing together the author’s key works from the last 20 years, from game motifs to science fiction.

    Also in 2025, solo exhibitions of Elena Surovtseva, Irina Zatulovskaya, Oleg Ivaschenko, Alexandra Mitlyanskaya and other authors will be presented.

    In June, a retrospective exhibition of Boris Messerer will open in the building on Gogolevsky Boulevard. The exposition will allow us to follow the entire creative path of the outstanding painter, graphic artist, and stage designer, who worked in various genres. This project will be one of the key events of the upcoming season for the museum. Viewers will see both Messerer’s early works and his latest series of abstract compositions. For the second time in Moscow, Boris Asafovich’s early paintings from the 1950s and 1960s will be shown.

    Work will continue with the legacy of outstanding authors of the second half of the 20th century. In the fall, the museum will introduce visitors to a retrospective of Yevgeny Gorokhovsky (1951–2021), timed to coincide with the 75th anniversary of his birth. The exhibition will showcase key works from museum collections and private collections, as well as works that have not been exhibited before.

    Research projects

    In 2025, the Moscow Museum of Modern Art will continue to develop its research initiatives. The long-term program “Collection. Viewpoint” offers a new look at works from the museum’s collection. One of the projects will be the exhibition “Love Me as I Love You”, dedicated to the theme of romantic relationships. Object art, video art and photography will be displayed alongside classical painting. In May, the exhibition “In the Closet” will open, where artists will explore the transformation of furniture and familiar and customary forms into artistic ideas through their interpretation. In the summer, the exhibition “Early Graphics by Viktor Umnov and Its Context” will open, focusing on form-building in graphics of the 1960s and revealing the artist’s work in a broader cultural context.

    In the autumn, the EMA Expo 2025 exhibition will open in the museum’s educational centre (17 Ermolaevsky Lane) – a large-scale event dedicated to the themes of sound, technological art and related disciplines.

    Vadim Sidur Museum and Dmitry Nalbandyan Museum-Workshop

    The Vadim Sidur Museum will continue to explore the artist’s personal myth. This year’s projects will unite the image of a symbolic garden and its significance in the culture and work of Vadim Sidur. Viewers will see sculptures, graphic series, archival materials and excerpts from literary works, and will also be able to consider his art in the context of the latest artistic practices. This will open up opportunities for contemporary young artists – the museum plans to exhibit works by Anastasia Rybakova and Alexander Pozin in dialogue with the works of Vadim Sidur.

    The Dmitry Nalbandyan Museum and Studio will continue to rethink the return to the Soviet past through the artist’s personal experience and history, and will display documents and museum items. The young artist Kutka will work on studying Nalbandyan’s personal archive at the invitation of the museum. The project will include a series of photographic works with embroidery, installations and textiles that will draw attention to the connection of times and the memory of generations, and will also allow us to turn to the legacy of Nalbandyan’s family archives from the Soviet period.

    Regional projects and support for young artists

    In the summer, the interdisciplinary festival of contemporary art “Tuzhi-art” will be held for the third time in the land art park “Tuzhi” (Zabaikalsky Krai), in which the museum will take part. One of the goals of the project is to preserve the unique identity of this place and integrate it into the all-Russian cultural context. In 2025, four creative residences will open at the festival.

    The series of regional projects will be continued by the festival of contemporary art “Territory. Irkutsk”, where the Moscow Museum of Modern Art will present an exhibition from its collection. This exhibition will be the second project in Irkutsk within the framework of a joint program with the festival. Among its main objectives are the development of cultural exchange and familiarization of viewers with one of the largest collections of Russian art of the 20th and 21st centuries.

    Support for young artists is a very important area of the museum’s activity. Over the years, thanks to it, viewers have become acquainted with dozens of aspiring authors, and many of their names have since become known to the general public. This year, the exhibition halls on Gogolevsky Boulevard will present five personal projects by artists Oksana Afanasyeva, Yulia Vorobyova, Yukiko Ogawa, Maria Smolyaninova, and Elena Sharganova.

    There will also be a traditional annual exhibition of young art, “Workshop,” where artists will be able to work with the museum’s collections, conduct artistic research, and show the results of their work within the museum’s walls in December 2025.

    In addition, it is worth noting the cooperation with other institutions. As part of the continuation of a long-term joint program with the GES-2 Culture House, the museum will help artists implement their projects using high-quality materials and advanced equipment. The result this year will be two exhibition projects at the main sites of the Moscow Museum of Modern Art.

The upper part of the street was decorated with a pine forest, through which a Christmas express rushes. And decorations, gazebos and snowman figures create an atmosphere of a winter fairy tale.

    Stoleshnikov Lane was decorated in red and gold. Unusual arches with mini-shops were installed here, where you can buy holiday souvenirs and try seasonal delicacies. Garlands with golden bells were spread over the lane, and the promenade area was decorated with coniferous plants and classic Christmas compositions.

The space organically combines mountain pines, willows and ornamental shrubs. Backlighting in the form of balls makes this area especially beautiful in the evening.

    The square near the Barrikadnaya metro station has been decorated with giant holiday gifts and multi-tiered green areas, where fir trees, as well as Serbian and blue spruces, are harmoniously combined. Garlands and golden accents create an atmosphere of coziness and warmth.

    Hexagonal display cases with plant compositions were installed at Birzhevaya Square and at Chistye Prudy. These are sites for memorable winter photographs.

    New Arbat has been transformed into a winter garden with coniferous trees, huge Christmas tree balls and retro cars hovering in the air. Old Arbat has been decorated in the “Warm Traditions” concept – a reminder of childhood and family holidays.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Strict rules: how veterinary experts check the quality of fish and seafood

    High-protein products of animal origin require particularly careful control. The Moscow-on-the-Wave fish markets have special laboratories where employees of the state budgetary institution Mosvetoedinenie monitor the products. We tell you what stages of testing fish and seafood go through.

    Veterinary examination is not only a check of food products. Since fish is a very demanding product, the conditions of its transportation are of great importance, and therefore the condition of the vehicle. Thus, in addition to checking the veterinary accompanying documents, a specialist of the state veterinary service inspects the internal surfaces of the car. They must be smooth, easy to wash and disinfect. The temperature maintained in the cargo compartment of the vehicle is also checked. For example, chilled food fish products must be stored at a temperature of up to five degrees, but above the freezing point of tissue juice, and frozen fish products – at a temperature of no higher than minus 18 degrees.

    Then the veterinary expert starts checking the organoleptic indicators, carefully examining the appearance. It is important that the products do not have cuts, cracks and subcutaneous yellowing that occurs when fats oxidize.

    The next stage of the examination is dosimetric and radiometric studies. In addition, specialists check the consistency, smell and temperature of the products. If all indicators are in order, the batch is accepted.

    The Moscow-on-the-Wave fish market opened in the Kosino-Ukhtomsky district in November 2023, and in Mitino on September 25, 2024. How reported earlierSergei Sobyanin, last year they were visited by more than 1.5 million people, and over one thousand tons of products were sold.

    The Moscow-on-the-Wave fish markets offer a wide range of fish and seafood from three oceans and 13 seas that wash Russia. Residents and guests of the capital can buy fresh carp, chilled Murmansk salmon, red mullet on skewers, northern omul and whitefish in fresh-frozen and smoked form, lightly salted tugunok, Olyutor herring and much more.

    More information about the activity Department of Trade and Services can be found in the official telegram channeldepartments.

    In the Bitsevsky forest there are centuries-old spruce forests. They are located in the 26th and 27th quarters, as well as in the Znamenskoye-Sadki estate. The preserved pure spruce forests are a great rarity for the city. They are notable for the fact that they contain young trees, the forest is being renewed. In this same natural area there are pines of a special gnarled shape, preserved from the time when young seedlings matured in the then open spaces.

    There are ecological routes through the Bitsevsky forest. The three-kilometer-long circular trail starts on Yasenevskaya Alley from the Novoyasenevsky Prospect side, runs through a coniferous forest, and comes out to a spring and an ancient pond dug in the 13th century.

    Native spruce forests and old pine forests have also been preserved in the Losiny Ostrov National Park. In the Alekseyevskaya Grove, there are pine forests aged 150–200 years. A rare plant, the club-shaped club moss, can also be found here. This evergreen herbaceous spore perennial is listed in the Red Book of Moscow.

Along the banks of the river there are swampy meadows, and the southern shore of the Black Lake is covered with a small massif of pine and birch. In this area you can find cranberry, marsh wild rosemary, and club moss.
