The oldest electric depot “Severnoye” of the Moscow metro turned 90 years old. On October 15, 1934, a test metro train departed from it on its first trip. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry Maxim Liksutov.

“90 years ago, a test train of type A cars left the Severnoye depot for the first time on the line. That day became the starting point for the depot’s work. Now, more than 850 professional employees work there, 153 of whom have been working there for over 20 years. They provide high-quality maintenance and operation of Rusich and Nomernoy trains. Yesterday, a unique event was held for the depot’s specialists, where reenactors recreated the atmosphere of that time and demonstrated the process of running in the first train. On behalf of Sergei Sobyanin, I congratulate the staff of the oldest metro depot on their professional holiday!” said Maxim Liksutov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.

Construction of the electric depot began in the spring of 1932, and by March 1934 its building and the connecting branch to Komsomolskaya station were ready to launch the first trains.

On September 24, 1934, when the depot was still being completed, the first two Type A metro cars were delivered here from the factory. The metro train consisting of them set off on its maiden journey on the evening of October 15, 1934. It was driven by the outstanding transport engineer Mikhail Shpolyansky, who led a group of workers from the Dynamo factory preparing the first domestic metro cars for operation. In total, six journeys were made from Komsomolskaya to Sokolniki that evening.

In January 1935, the experimental operation of the Komsomolskaya-Sokolniki section began. On February 4 of the same year, the first train traveled along the entire section, and from February 19, regular training traffic began. During the testing period, thousands of distinguished workers of enterprises received invitations to travel on the metro.

After the opening of the Moscow Metro on May 15, 1935, the trains of the Severnoye electric depot fully serviced the line that stretched from Sokolniki station to Gorky Park Kultury (now Park Kultury) with a branch at Okhotny Ryad to Smolenskaya.

Before the Great Patriotic War, several dozen female train drivers had already worked in the metro. Leaders began to emerge among them. Thus, in the spring of 1942, under the leadership of second-class train driver Ekaterina Mishina, who received the right to operate metro trains in 1937, the first female train was formed, which went out on the line on March 8, 1942. It also became the first train in the Moscow metro with a name — the “March 8 Train”.

During the Great Patriotic War, it was from the Severnoye electric depot that the Moscow Metro armored train departed for the front along the railway line and took part in the battles on the Kursk Bulge, making a significant contribution to the outcome of the battle. The funds for its creation were raised by the metro employees.

In 1959, the Kirovsko-Frunzenskaya Line (now Sokolnicheskaya) crossed the Moscow River and extended to the Universitet station. In 1963, Prospekt Vernadskogo and Yugo-Zapadnaya stations appeared on it. Simultaneously with the construction of new sections of the red line, the electric depot was also developing: in 1958, a lifting repair shop was put into operation, and in 1960, a second building for storing trains was erected. In the 1960s and 1970s, a group of innovative specialists introduced a number of highly effective developments for trains and repair production.

In August 1990, the Kirovsko-Frunzenskaya line (renamed Sokolnicheskaya in November of that year) was extended from Preobrazhenskaya Ploshchad station to Ulitsa Podbelskogo station (now Bulvar Rokossovskogo). At the same time, the Cherkizovo electric depot was established on the line, for which Severny employees prepared equipment, carriages, and a staff of professional specialists.

In the 21st century, the development of the red line continued, its southwestern part was extended: in 2014, the Troparevo station opened, in 2016 – Rumyantsevo and Salaryevo, and in 2019, a new section to Kommunarka (now Novomoskovskaya) opened with four stations at once.

In 2020, the rolling stock of the Severnoye electric depot was partially replaced with Nomernoy trains by Rusichi, and the Cherkizovo depot was fully equipped with modern Moskva trains. In September 2024, the Potapovo station was opened in the south of the Sokolnicheskaya line.

The history of the capital’s metro began with it. How the Sokolnicheskaya line was designed and built The Potapovo station of the Sokolnicheskaya metro line was built in less than three years

Over the past 90 years, the Sokolnicheskaya line, which is served by the Severnoye depot, has changed dramatically. Today, its length is more than 40 kilometers, and the fleet of the first depot in the history of the metro has 39 trains of two types – 81-717/714 (“Numbered”) and 81-740/741 (“Rusich”). In addition, the depot operates two theme trains that are loved by many passengers: the Sokolniki retro train, stylized as the first train of the Moscow metro, and the Red Arrow. The monthly mileage of the depot’s cars is more than 4.5 million kilometers.

The team of the Severnoye electric depot preserves and multiplies the traditions of its predecessors, develops the depot and receives recognition on a metro scale. In 2019, Severnoye won first place in the metro as the best electric depot in organizing work to improve working conditions and labor safety. It is famous for its special family atmosphere. Today, five labor dynasties work here, and over the past five years, 10 families have formed.

Today, there are about 370 enterprises in Moscow engaged in the production of computers, optics and electronics. Thanks to the active support of the city, they develop and bring innovative products to market, and also increase the range and volume of production. In just eight months of the year, companies have almost doubled the production of high-tech products compared to the same period in 2023. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry Maxim Liksutov.

“From January to August 2024, the capital saw a 96 percent increase in the production of computers, electronic and optical products. Shipments to customers increased by almost 40 percent and exceeded 386 billion rubles. Such results were achieved thanks to the support that the city provides to industrialists on behalf of Sergei Sobyanin. Today, companies have access to over 20 systemic tools, in particular, they can localize production in the territory of the special economic zone “Technopolis Moscow”, as well as obtain the status of a resident of the SEZ, attract a preferential investment loan or rent land for one ruble to implement a large-scale investment project,” said Maxim Liksutov.

For example, last year thanks to Moscow Fund for Support of Industry and Entrepreneurship The capital’s optical equipment manufacturer was able to attract almost three billion rubles under the preferential investment lending program. The enterprise has the status of a resident of the special economic zone “Technopolis Moscow”. The funds received were used to purchase new equipment for the production of high-speed optical transceivers and create a test bench. The term of financial support is three years.

“In the first eight months of 2024, Moscow saw an increase in the production of printed circuit boards, electronic computers, electricity production or consumption meters, semiconductor devices and much more. The products manufactured by the capital’s factories meet high quality standards and are in demand on the domestic and international markets. Thus, during the specified period, industrialists supplied customers with computers and peripheral equipment for more than 121 billion rubles, control and measuring and navigation devices for 117 billion rubles, and the volume of communications equipment shipped amounted to almost 68 billion rubles,” added the Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Moscow Department of Investment and Industrial Policy.

Last week, the St. Petersburg International Gas Forum 2024 (SPIGF-2024) was held at the ExpoForum Convention and Exhibition Centre, in the exhibition and scientific-business programme of which the Polytechnic University traditionally takes an active part.

The forum visitors were able to get to know the university better in the Polytechnic’s unified catalogue. More than eight pages were devoted to the main areas of activity of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport.

SPIGF is one of the key global events in the gas industry. The participation of Polytechnic divisions in the exhibition program of the forum opened up a wide range of opportunities for meeting potential customers and exchanging experience, says Anatoly Popovich, Director of IMMiT.

Specialists from the Laser and Additive Technologies Research Laboratory (LIAT) at IMMiT presented their developments at the Polytechnic stand: components of the hot tract of gas turbine engines repaired by laser cladding, 7 and 10 mm thick samples welded in one pass without edge preparation using laser welding and hybrid laser-arc welding, and the mobile laser cladding complex “Nomad”, designed to restore large-sized products on the customer’s premises.

If for some reason the enterprise cannot bring the product to the laboratory, then its specialists go to the site with a mobile complex. At the moment, they have already restored four rotors of the GTK-10-4 gas pumping units. In the laboratory itself, the “Nomad” is also used for laser welding and restoration of smaller products.

The forum’s rich program brought together all the most advanced and significant areas of the industry. The opportunity to present the developments of the research laboratory at the forum made a significant contribution to determining the optimal scenarios for the further development vector of the division, – shared Mikhail Kuznetsov, head of the Scientific Research Laboratory “LiAT” of IMMIT SPbPU.

The Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade presented educational programs created and implemented in partnership with PJSC Gazprom and its subsidiaries at the SPbPU exhibition stand: two master’s programs and two programs of additional professional education. The master’s program “IT Economics and Business Analysis” is a corporate master’s program of the university and Gazprom Neft, aimed at training specialists in the field of business analysis. This master’s program is reinforced by modules of specialized focus and project activities within the framework of research work built on business cases of Gazprom Neft. At the forum, we productively discussed with our partners strategic plans for the development of new corporate educational programs and other areas of joint activity taking into account current changes in the economy, – said Irina Rudskaya, Director of the Scientific and Educational Center for Information Technology and Business Analysis of Gazprom Neft.

The Master’s program “Human Resources Management and Organizational Development”, created and implemented jointly with Gazprom Gazifikatsiya with the information and status support of the presidential platform of the ANO “Russia – Country of Opportunities”, was presented by the Higher School of Industrial Management of IPMEiT. The program was developed based on practical tasks and requests of the university’s corporate partners and is aimed at training specialists capable of implementing organizational design at all stages of the company’s life cycle, forming the company’s HR brand, developing and implementing a human resource management strategy based on building individual personnel development trajectories.

This year, together with our partners Gazprom Gazifikatsiya, Gazprom Pitanie and the Russia — Land of Opportunities platform, with grant support from Gazprom, we created six online courses that we modularly integrated into the program’s curriculum, explained Olga Kalinina, Director of the Higher School of Industrial Management.

Based on the created online courses, IPMEiT also presented two continuing education programs on motivation, personnel selection and personnel branding, developed for specialists in the field of HR management and heads of structural divisions of the oil and gas and energy industries. The presentation of the continuing education programs was attended by a student of the master’s program “Digital Business Management”, specialist of the personnel efficiency support group of Gazprom Neft exploration and production Ekaterina Khodarkevich, and a student of the bachelor’s program “Oil and Gas Enterprise Management”, an employee of the marketing department of Gazpromneft-SM Daniil Guryev.

Professor of the Higher School of Industrial Management Alexander Ilyinsky took part in the round table of the Energy Initiative “International Business Congress” on the topic “Promising technologies for monetizing natural gas and ensuring energy security”. Alexander Ilyinsky also held business negotiations with the General Director of Gazprom Flot Yuri Shamalov, where they discussed promising areas of cooperation in the field of educational and scientific activities.

Aleksandr Volkov, a practicing teacher, associate professor at the Higher School of Industrial Management, and CEO of the Grand Media Service communications agency, moderated the conference “Gas Industry Companies in New Realities: How to Be Most Effective in PR and Digital Communications?” and gave a presentation on a proven tool for comprehensive promotion in the gas industry, Public Performance. Among the audience were students from the Higher School of Industrial Management studying in the educational programs “Marketing” and “Oil and Gas Enterprise Management”.

Students of the Higher School of Engineering and Economics took part in the round table “Distributed generation as a solution to the problems of energy-deficient regions”, where the prospects for implementing innovative solutions for distributed generation were discussed: own generation of electricity and heat supply.

Students of the Higher School of Administrative Management, led by the head of the IPMEiT Directorate, Associate Professor of the Higher School of Administrative Management Maxim Ivanov, attended the conference “New Technologies for the Oil and Gas Industry”, the panel session “Technological Leadership: New Horizons” and the round table “Current Issues of Legislative Support for the Oil and Gas Industry”. They got acquainted with samples of modern equipment and advanced technologies at the RosGazExpo exhibition, an exposition of the subjects of the Russian Federation, which presented projects demonstrating their potential in the oil and gas sector.

Such forums captivate with their scale and friendly, but at the same time businesslike atmosphere. The stand of the Polytechnic University stood out from the rest and attracted many visitors, it was impressive. We went around the stands that were related not only to the oil and gas industry, but also to the agricultural, transport industry and to the specialization of various regions of Russia. We learned that many representatives of large companies are graduates of the Polytechnic University, and, of course, they were happy to tell us about their work, – the students of the Higher School of Economics shared their impressions.

Students of the Higher School of Industrial Management of the educational programs “Industrial Management (Energy)” and “Management of Oil and Gas Enterprises” together with teachers Olga Konovalova and Vyacheslav Melekhin participated in the round table “Union of Science and Industry in the Transformation of the World Energy Market”, where current issues and trends in the development of the international energy market, transformation of the gas market, the role of international cooperation and joint educational programs were discussed.

The Gas Forum is certainly a large-scale event that has become a platform for demonstrating the technological and innovative capabilities of the domestic industry. For our students, this is an invaluable experience of participating in one of the most important events in the Russian economy, says Olga Konovalova, associate professor at the Higher School of Management and Management.

Students of IPMEiT demonstrated significant results in the Virtual Academy from Gazprom. From June 3 to July 15, as part of the preparation for the SPIGF-2024 Youth Day, an educational program and selection round of the Virtual Academy project were held. This year, more than 130 candidates from 30 countries representing 45 universities participated in it. The Virtual Academy program included lectures in English by leading experts and scientists in the field of energy and information technology. Participants completed individual tasks and submitted them for expert assessment. As a result of the competitive selection, only 30 candidates with the best results received an invitation to the Youth Day. Among them, three students of the Higher School of Industrial Management: Nikita Kuznetsov and Leonid Alkhimovich (Bachelor’s program “International Business”) and Arab Yusof Abad Mohammad (international program “Development of International Business”). Moreover, Nikita Kuznetsov’s team, where he was the captain, took first place based on the results of participation in the case.

This year, our institute made its small contribution to the work of the Polytechnic University at the St. Petersburg International Gas Forum. We prepared for individual events in advance, planned the participation of both adult colleagues-teachers and students. We paid special attention to the preparation of those students who already work in oil and gas and energy companies, undergo practical training or internships there, – noted the director of IPMEiT Vladimir Shchepinin.

On October 11, the opening ceremony of the regional program of the VII Youth Forum “Heritage” was held in the White Hall of the Durasov House of the HSE campus on Pokrovka. Starting from the second forum, educational institutions from all over the country joined the capital’s universities in this educational project of the Moscow Department of Cultural Heritage. This year, teams from ten regions of Russia are taking part in “Heritage” – Vladimir, Voronezh, Krasnoyarsk, the Republic of Crimea, Nizhny Novgorod, Samara, St. Petersburg, Saratov, Tyumen, Chelyabinsk.

The goal of the forum is to stimulate interest in the history and traditions of their native land among young people, to instill a careful attitude towards ancient monuments and to show that this is not just a valuable fragment of history, but a part of modern life and culture. Each student team must submit a project-concept for the competition for the development and adaptation to modern realities of any architectural monument of their city or region. The most successful ideas can be used in a real restoration project.

The opening ceremony of the forum was attended by the First Deputy Head of the Department of Cultural Heritage of the City of Moscow, the city’s chief archaeologist Leonid Kondrashev. Welcoming the participants of the forum, he said: “The Youth Forum “Heritage” has become the largest educational project of the department. Even compared to last year, when representatives of eight cities took part in the regional program, this year ten joined us. The number of participants is growing, the quality of the projects that students are working on is growing. On behalf of myself, the head of our department and our entire team, which is organizing this forum for the seventh time, I wish everyone success. We expect an honest, fair fight. And of course, all this is beneficial to cultural heritage.”

The partner of the regional program of the forum, which this year was again the Higher School of Economics, was represented by Vice-Rector of the National Research University Higher School of Economics Irina Martusevich. “We are happy to once again act as partners of this wonderful event. Our university is located in four cities of Russia. We actively participate in the development of the territories where we are present, and, in addition, we consult and provide expert assistance to dozens of different regions,” said Irina Martusevich. “In the current regional program, as in the last one, the Higher School of Economics will be represented by the St. Petersburg campus. Naturally, I wish good luck not only to our students, but also to all participants. It is pleasant to see that the competition has brought together universities representing cities from various parts of Russia, and each of these cities can boast of a glorious history, culture, heritage.”

The forum was created as a platform for exchanging ideas, experiences and best practices among young people who care about the preservation of cultural heritage. In addition, the organizers have prepared an extensive educational and business program, within the framework of which the best Russian and international experts in the field of urban studies, architecture, restoration, as well as representatives of government bodies and the media will speak to the participants. They will hold master classes, round tables and professional consultations designed to help the competition participants improve their project and achieve victory. In the final, five finalist teams will go to Moscow. Here, the winners will be offered the most intense program in terms of cultural heritage.

MIL-OSI Russia: Statement by IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva on the Review of the Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust

Source: IMF – News in Russian

October 16, 2024

Washington, DC: The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) today completed the Review of Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust (PRGT) Facilities and Financing, the IMF’s vehicle for providing concessional financing to low-income member countries. Ms. Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), issued the following statement:

“Our membership today has adopted a comprehensive reform and financing package for the Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust (PRGT) to bolster the IMF’s support to low-income countries.”

“The package includes a framework to deploy IMF net income and/or reserves to generate about US$8 billion in additional subsidy resources for the PRGT over the next five years. Combined with other reform measures and last year’s successful bilateral fundraising, this would increase the PRGT’s long-term annual lending envelope to about US$3.6 billion, more than twice the pre-pandemic level, and help catalyze significant additional flows from public and private sources.”

“This agreement comes at a critical time as low-income countries have suffered a series of unprecedented shocks and face substantial financing needs. With exceptionally high demand for PRGT financing, the approved package will generate the concessional resources necessary to ensure that the Fund can continue supporting low-income countries to implement sound policies and build strong institutions.”

“These reforms will help tailor IMF support to country-specific needs, recognizing the increasing economic heterogeneity of low-income countries. To ensure that scarce concessional resources are targeted to those most in need, a new interest rate mechanism will maintain interest-free lending for the poorest countries while ensuring that lending terms for others have a sufficient degree of concessionality. Access policies will allow for flexibility in calibrating Fund support, and safeguards will be strengthened and streamlined.”

“Our global membership has demonstrated once again its shared commitment to support our low-income members in challenging economic times.”

MIL-OSI Russia: Students of SPbGASU met with participants of the Special Military Operation

MILES AXLE Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering – Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering – Valery Zinkevich and Anatoly Noskov

On October 15–16, the SPbGASU Youth Policy Department organized meetings between our university students and participants of the Special Military Operation Anatoly Noskov, Valery Zinkevich, and Gennady Kuz. They came to the front line by different paths, but with one goal – to defend the Fatherland.

Captain Anatoly Noskov is a 2022 graduate of SPbGASU. He was mobilized at the same time. Anatoly is a hereditary military man: the grandson of an admiral and the son of a KGB colonel. First, he graduated from the Nakhimov School, then the Frunze Higher Naval School (now the Peter the Great Naval Corps – St. Petersburg Naval Institute). He worked in the criminal investigation service. He started as a deputy company commander for military-patriotic work, and later became the commander of the assault company Z. In total, Captain Noskov’s front-line biography includes 11 assaults, two wounds, one of which was serious.

Valery Zinkevich has been involved in public activities since 2010 and has traveled to almost all the liberated territories of the new regions as a volunteer since the beginning of the SVO. He admits that what he saw inspired him to decide to go to the front as a volunteer. The commander of the assault platoon of the special forces “Akhmat” has difficult battles and a serious injury behind him. Today, he manages seven charity projects, is the leader of the public-patriotic bloc “For the Fatherland and Faith”, and an adviser to the head of the Moscow district of St. Petersburg on patriotic education of youth.

Gennady Kuz is a combat veteran who organizes humanitarian aid and solves social problems for the SVO servicemen and their families.

At the meeting with students, they talked not only about the difficult and dangerous everyday life of the military on the front line, about what success in completing combat missions depends on, and the role of the ability to work in a team. They also talked about what is no less important for each person: goals in life, civic duty, service to the Motherland, moral priorities, family.

“Our life is formed on the values and traditions that are laid down in childhood and youth. I am talking about the role of family, the importance of traditions and goals. Only together are we strong. Such meetings provide feedback: schoolchildren, students, and their parents contact me. This confirms that we are on the right path,” said Valery Zinkevich.

Student Andrey Gogenko is one of the most active participants of the meeting. It turned out that he has a good idea of what they are talking about.

“I am a great-grandson, grandson, son of military personnel, and most of my life was spent in military towns. My father will soon go on a mission to a combat zone. At first, I also wanted to follow in their footsteps, but then I decided to first get a civilian profession. I learn about the situation in the SVO from the media, but from the participants themselves it is perceived completely differently. I agree with them: we must be united, attentive to each other, in order to achieve common and significant goals for all of us,” Andrey said.

MIL-OSI Russia: IMF Staff Reaches Staff-Level Agreement with Serbia on the Fourth Review under the Stand-By Arrangement and on a 36-Month Policy Coordination Instrument Request
Source: IMF – News in Russian

October 16, 2024

End-of-Mission press releases include statements of IMF staff teams that convey preliminary findings after a visit to a country. The views expressed in this statement are those of the IMF staff and do not necessarily represent the views of the IMF’s Executive Board. Based on the preliminary findings of this mission, staff will prepare a report that, subject to management approval, will be presented to the IMF’s Executive Board for discussion and decision.
- The Serbian authorities and IMF staff reached staff-level agreement on the fourth and final review under the Stand-By Arrangement (SBA) and on a successor 36-month Policy Coordination Instrument (PCI) request. The PCI is a non-financing instrument designed to support strong economic policies. The agreement is subject to approval by the IMF Executive Board and is expected to be considered by the Board in December 2024.
- Macroeconomic outcomes in Serbia remain strong. Growth and the labor market are robust, and inflation has fallen. Foreign exchange reserves are at a record high, and the public debt burden continues to decline.
- Under the PCI, Serbia commits to fiscal deficits not exceeding 3.0 percent of GDP over 2025-27, to further prioritize spending in case of fiscal shocks, and to keep public wage and pension increases aligned with its fiscal rules. The PCI will balance Serbia’s public investment and social expenditure needs with continued fiscal discipline to support sustainable growth while keeping public debt on a downward path.
Washington, DC: An International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission, led by Donal McGettigan, met with the Serbian authorities during October 3-15, 2024, to discuss performance under Serbia’s Stand-By Arrangement (SBA) and the authorities’ request for a successor 36-month Policy Coordination Instrument (PCI) that will run from December 2024 to December 2027. The PCI is a non-financing instrument designed to support strong economic policies. At the conclusion of the mission, Mr. McGettigan issued the following statement:

“I am pleased to announce that the Serbian authorities and the IMF team have reached staff-level agreement on the conclusion of the fourth and final review under the SBA and on a successor 36-month PCI.

“The two-year SBA was approved by the IMF Executive Board in December 2022. It supported Serbia in navigating a period of major economic uncertainty and energy price volatility. Under the SBA, Serbia successfully implemented macroeconomic policies that underpinned external and fiscal sustainability and that rebuilt buffers to deal with future shocks. Serbia has increased and modernized its energy tariffs and has initiated corporate restructuring at the electricity provider EPS to improve the financial sustainability and efficiency of the energy sector. Serbia also made good progress on important fiscal structural reforms and advanced efforts to improve state-owned enterprise (SOE) governance.

“Reflecting the success of the economic program supported by the SBA, and in view of Serbia’s commitment to continued strong economic policies, Serbia was awarded an investment grade credit rating for the first time, by S&P Global Ratings, in October 2024.

“Serbia’s macroeconomic outcomes in 2024 are impressive. We project growth to reach 3.9 percent in 2024 and to increase to around 4¼ percent over the coming years. Headline inflation has returned to the National Bank of Serbia’s target band, supported by tighter monetary policy and easing energy and food prices, but core inflation remains elevated.

“The fiscal deficit is set to increase to 2.7 percent of GDP in 2024, to help fund additional infrastructure, social, and defense spending needs. Based on strong fiscal revenue performance, robust economic growth, and a recent upward GDP revision, public debt is expected to fall to about 48 percent of GDP by end-2024.

“As domestic demand picks up, and Serbia’s public investment drive continues, the current account deficit is projected to widen in 2024 and to increase further over the medium term. Continued strong FDI inflows are, however, expected to more than offset the current account deficit over the coming years and to allow for ongoing reserve accumulation. The financial sector is well-capitalized and liquid.

“Key risks to Serbia’s economic outlook include: foreign demand, FDI and commodity price outlooks that are subject to uncertainty and risks, deepening geoeconomic fragmentation, and the exposure of agricultural output and economic activity to climate change and extreme weather events.

“Serbia therefore needs ample buffers against uncertainties and risks. Encouragingly, foreign exchange reserves and government deposits are high, public debt and external debt are sustainable, and the banking system is strong. Continued prudent polices provide an additional important buffer.

“Serbia’s program performance under the SBA remains strong. All relevant quantitative and standard continuous performance criteria have been met, as have most indicative targets and structural benchmarks. Thanks to progress made under the SBA, Serbia intends to continue to treat the SBA, set to expire in December 2024, as precautionary.

“To continue leveraging IMF support for Serbia’s economic policies, the Serbian authorities and IMF staff also reached an agreement on medium-term macroeconomic and financial policies under a successor 36-month Policy Coordination Instrument (PCI) that will run from December 2024 to December 2027. The PCI will support Serbia in credibly maintaining fiscal discipline while making room for spending on public investment and other essential items. The PCI will also help Serbia advance its ongoing ambitious structural reform agenda, focused on fiscal, SOE, and energy reforms.

“Under the PCI, the Serbian authorities commit to keeping the annual overall fiscal deficit at no more than 3.0 percent of GDP over 2025-27. Absent large adverse shocks, this would be consistent with an ongoing decline in the public debt burden. To achieve this core macroeconomic objective, the authorities commit to adhere to their special fiscal rules on public wages and pensions which they adopted in 2022, and to review options for rationalizing and monitoring expenditure items that grew rapidly in 2024. In the event of additional fiscal spending pressures, the authorities commit to further prioritizing public spending.

“The PCI will help the authorities improve public financial management, public investment management, fiscal risk management, fiscal transparency, and public workforce and pension planning. It will also leverage extensive IMF technical assistance to resolve staffing challenges in the tax administration, an urgent and macro-critical priority. It will assist the authorities in refining and operationalizing the energy investment plan, improving the financial sustainability of energy SOEs, and preparing Serbia for the introduction of the EU carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM). Finally, the PCI will aid the authorities with important and complex SOE governance reforms, including in the energy sector.

“The IMF team would like to thank all their counterparts for the open and constructive discussions.”

MIL-OSI Russia: The forum “Advanced digital and production technologies” has started at the Polytechnic University

MILES AXLE Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

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

On October 15, SPbPU opened the VI International Forum “Advanced Digital and Manufacturing Technologies”. The key topic of the forum is the development and application of advanced digital and manufacturing technologies as the basis for Russia’s technological leadership. The business program includes events dedicated to the most pressing topics of the national technological agenda.

Over the course of two days, leading experts will discuss the specifics of the development of the unmanned aircraft systems industry in Russia, trends and potential of domestic engineering software, the use of digital twin technology and new materials in industry, the advantages of seamless engineering education: “school — college — university — industry”, the possibilities of university technological entrepreneurship, as well as the specifics of ensuring legal protection and use of intellectual property and many other issues.

The organizers of the annual expert event are the structural divisions of the country’s leading technical university, which are the basis of the university’s technological development ecosystem. The forum is held with the support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation within the framework of the national project “Science and Universities”, the federal project “Advanced Engineering Schools”.

The central event of the first day was the plenary session. It was attended by representatives of government agencies, development institutes, universities and leading enterprises in the high-tech industry.

First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation on Economic Policy Denis Kravchenko, Rector of the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI Vladimir Shevchenko, Deputy Chairman of the Council for the Development of the Digital Economy under the Federation Council of the Russian Federation Artem Sheikin, Director for Innovative Development of PJSC UEC-Saturn Dmitry Ivanov, Director of Science of PJSC Gazprom Neft Mars Khasanov became speakers of the session. The moderator of the event was Vice-Governor of St. Petersburg Vladimir Knyaginin.

A video address by the Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov opened the welcoming part. Valery Nikolaevich emphasized the importance of the forum as a platform for discussing the current agenda for the development of advanced digital and production technologies: The forum has acquired special significance in the context of solving the problems of achieving technological leadership in Russia. In order for these problems to be solved as quickly and efficiently as possible, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education is launching new projects for more effective interaction between universities and businesses. One of these projects is the Advanced Engineering School. It has proven its effectiveness precisely due to the close interaction of universities with companies. We are pleased to inform you that you will be presented with the positive experience and developments of one of the best advanced engineering schools – the school of the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University “Digital Engineering”. Specialists will tell you about new effective solutions and experience in the development and implementation of breakthrough technologies, as well as how to prepare a new generation of engineers.

On behalf of the Polytechnic University, the Rector of SPbPU, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Andrey Rudskoy welcomed the forum participants: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University has always implemented a practice-oriented educational model aimed at fast and effective results for industry. We interact very closely with the industry. St. Petersburg Polytechnic University is a flagship university of PJSC Gazprom Neft, and among the university’s strategic partners are the state corporations Rosatom and Rostec, PJSC Severstal and other major enterprises that are systemically important for their industries. Representatives of many of them will participate in our forum as experts and speakers. The forum “Advanced Digital and Manufacturing Technologies” is a unique opportunity for direct communication, discussion of the most pressing issues on the educational, industrial, and technological agenda.

After this, the Vice-Governor of St. Petersburg Vladimir Knyaginin moved on to the main issues on the agenda of the plenary session.

Over the five years of its existence, the International Forum “Advanced Digital and Manufacturing Technologies” has become an authoritative platform for discussing current challenges and tasks. It is important that the organizer of this large-scale event is the Polytechnic University, which is one of the leaders in technical education and engineering sciences, not only in Russia, but also in the world. On the basis of the university, with the support of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia and the Government of St. Petersburg, significant initiatives are being implemented aimed at the innovative development of our state and achieving its technological leadership, – Vladimir Nikolaevich emphasized.

Elena Druzhinina, Managing Director for Science and Business Cooperation at the Rostec State Corporation, presented the view of a participant in the real sector of the economy on the scientific, technological and educational agenda of the forum.

The St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and Rostec enterprises have been building various forms of interaction for a long time. We are ready to go further and create new forms of cooperation between science and business with the university. For example, the creation of a research and production association is a topic that is currently being actively discussed in this context. Also, the head of the Rostec State Corporation Sergey Chemezov supported the idea of creating an industrial postgraduate program, – concluded Elena Druzhinina.

First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Economic Policy Denis Kravchenko supported the thesis on the need to expand cooperation between educational institutions and high-tech enterprises: I would like to emphasize the importance of close work on the part of the management of educational institutions and future employers in terms of equipping educational institutions and training students in working with domestic application software on real production equipment.

Vice-Rector for Digital Transformation of SPbPU Alexey Borovkov highlighted the approaches applied to the transformation of engineering education in his report and noted the dynamic growth of interest in advanced digital and production technologies, in particular, in the technology of digital twins. As well as in modern cross-industry platform solutions from industrial enterprises and government agencies: Digital twin technology is at the forefront, meeting the goal of achieving technological leadership, which consists in the superiority of technologies and products in key parameters over foreign analogues. The focus on technological leadership has pushed industries and the state to standardize and regulate those areas that were previously very cautiously discussed by the expert community. In recent years, we have seen how almost the same notes of our lectures with the terminology of advanced digital and production technologies are approved in regulatory documents, consolidating the scientific and technological groundwork formed by the ecosystem of technological development of SPbPU over many years.

Thus, the speaker noted the adoption of the national standard GOST R 57700.37-2021 “Computer models and modeling. DIGITAL DOUBLES OF PRODUCTS. General provisions” in Russia and in the international arena.

In 2023, the global digital twin market was valued at $10 billion, and by 2028, experts estimate it will reach $110 billion with an unprecedented annual CAGR growth of 61%. World leaders recognize digital twins as one of the technologies of the future, the speaker explained.

Alexey Ivanovich presented the ecosystem of technological development of SPbPU, which forms the “gold standard” of interaction between various federal structures, organized based on the results of victories in prestigious competitions of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia with the aim of developing, replicating and expanding the scope of application of advanced digital and production technologies in industry and education.

Alexey Borovkov spoke about the key results of R&D of the SPbPU technological development ecosystem, carried out on the Digital Platform for the Development and Application of Digital Twins CML-Bench® in 2024.

In conclusion, Aleksey Borovkov noted the flagship role of the SPbPU Advanced Engineering School “Digital Engineering” in the ecosystem of technological development of the Polytechnic University and emphasized the growing interest in it from applicants and partner companies: Following the results of the admissions campaign in 2023, students were recruited to the SPbPU Advanced Engineering School “Digital Engineering” for 72 budget places. This year, the number of budget places and open educational programs has almost doubled, but we managed to maintain a high competition for admission, which is 4 people per place. The geography of admission covers almost all regions of our country, – Aleksey Ivanovich summed up.

Based on the methodology of the federal project “Advanced Engineering Schools”, the rector of the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI Vladimir Shevchenko identified common patterns in organizing cooperation between partner companies and advanced engineering schools in the context of transforming approaches to engineering education and developing a system for training highly qualified personnel.

The education of a modern engineer should, from the very beginning, assume an understanding that modern engineering and production activities occur in parallel in two worlds: physical and digital. I would like to emphasize the benefits of conducting early career guidance activities with applicants, which over the past year has made it possible to equalize the number of graduates taking the Unified State Exam in physics and computer science. For a modern engineer, these two disciplines should be in tandem, concluded Vladimir Igorevich.

Deputy Chairman of the Council for the Development of the Digital Economy under the Federation Council of the Russian Federation Artem Sheikin spoke in detail about the main barriers to the introduction of artificial intelligence in real sectors of the economy in order to automate business processes, reduce costs and increase the efficiency of enterprises, and also spoke about the cybersecurity of processes for handling large volumes of industrial data.

Director of Innovative Development of PJSC UEC-Saturn, Honorary Doctor of SPbPU Dmitry Ivanov shared his practical experience in developing digital twin of marine gas turbine engine gearbox as part of the unit within the framework of research work of national importance, carried out jointly with SPbPU, and highlighted a number of aspects.

Everyone perceives digital twin technology differently. Very often, the technology is presented to enterprises as another calculation tool, work with which should be transferred down the hierarchy of engineering teams. This is a mistake. The digital twin changes the ideology of product design and production, including changes in the system of division of labor, business processes at the enterprise level, – Dmitry Stanislavovich emphasized to the audience.

Director of Science at Gazprom Neft PJSC, Honorary Doctor of SPbPU Mars Khasanov presented an expert opinion on the implementation of system digital engineering technology, including digital twin technology, and considered the possibilities of combining it with neurosymbolic artificial intelligence to solve the company’s problems. Mars Magnavievich emphasized the need for practice-oriented training of personnel and highlighted various formats of project interaction at Gazprom Neft PJSC to form the required set of competencies of a future specialist.

At the plenary session, representatives of research centers, leading universities and industrial enterprises exchanged experience in the application of new technologies, assessed the dynamics of their development and the speed of implementation in real production practice, held a discussion on the main trends in the development of domestic engineering software and discussed current issues in engineering education.

Marat Khusnullin took part in a meeting of the State Duma committees in preparation for the government hour

Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin took part in an extended joint meeting of three relevant committees in preparation for government hour.

On the eve of the government hour, the participants discussed the key areas of the new national project “Infrastructure for Life”, the main tasks for the country’s infrastructure development in the coming years, including the housing and utilities sector.

“On the instructions of the President, we are forming a new national project “Infrastructure for Life”, in which one of the key blocks is the modernization of the public utility infrastructure. We must form a clear plan and a set of specific mechanisms – how exactly we will improve the quality of existing public utilities for Russians and develop housing and communal services in the future. In particular, we must take into account that by 2030 the task is to build 1 billion square meters of housing. Thus, to fulfill all the tasks set in the housing and communal services sector, it is necessary to strictly account for the existing volume of public utility networks, their capacity, improve executive discipline, and develop related infrastructure. As part of the new national project, we will also determine master plans for at least 200 settlements, which, among other things, must have verified schemes of public utility networks. In general, we have a lot of, but very important, work ahead of us. By 2030, we will allocate 4.5 trillion rubles to modernize the public utility infrastructure, which will improve the quality of services provided to about 20 million people,” said Marat Khusnullin.

Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Construction and Housing and Utilities Sergey Pakhomov noted that there is a lot of joint work to be done with the Government related to the modernization of the housing and utilities infrastructure. “In addition to choosing the vector of this process, we also need to strengthen the staffing. The industry already uses modern technologies, their implementation will be more widespread, but today there is no one to service the new equipment from both a methodological and practical point of view. Objectively, we need to strengthen the staff, since the housing and utilities industry has a profound impact on many related industries and on the economy of the country as a whole. And most importantly, the state of the industry affects the mood of our residents,” said Sergey Pakhomov.

According to Nikolai Shulginov, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Energy, in order to improve the reliability of the electric grid complex, the committee ensured the adoption of Federal Law No. 185-FZ “On Amendments to the Federal Law “On Electric Power Industry” and Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation”. It launches a mechanism for creating system-forming territorial grid organizations in each region of Russia, which become single centers of responsibility for the electricity supply of regions and the elimination of accidents on electric grids. “Taking into account law enforcement practice, we consider it appropriate for the Government and the Ministry of Energy of Russia to consider the issue of introducing a similar mechanism for “picking up” heat supply facilities with a high accident rate of regional and municipal owners by owners of heat generation facilities that have heat supply sources, main networks, loops on their balance sheets and operate efficiently,” said Nikolai Shulginov.

“We continue to actively prepare for the government hour, where during the meeting we will tell our colleagues from the deputy corps about the current national and federal projects, plans, challenges and new solutions aimed at improving the housing and utilities sector, including within the framework of the national project being formed “Infrastructure for Life”. In this part, the Ministry of Construction of Russia has organized work on promptly responding to emerging issues and developing solutions for the effective modernization of the utilities infrastructure and improving the quality of services provided. Thanks to the support of our President, we are preparing a new federal project “Modernization of Utilities Infrastructure”, which includes current and planned support measures,” noted the head of the Ministry of Construction Irek Faizullin.

MIL-OSI Russia: Sobyanin: The main idea of the development strategy is to make Moscow the best city in the world

MILES AXLE Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

Sergei Sobyanin met with students of the Science and Technology University, College and Educational Centre “Sirius”. The meeting was held in the “Atom” hall in Sochi. The Moscow Mayor spoke about new solutions in the sphere of improving the quality of life in cities using the example of the strategy for the development of the capital until 2040 and answered questions.

According to the Mayor of Moscow, the main idea of the development strategy is to make the capital the best city in the world.

“For our city to be the best, it must have the most powerful economy in our country, it must have the best opportunities for every person, the best urban environment, and it must be a global center of attraction that the whole world would know and strive to come to Moscow,” said Sergei Sobyanin.

The capital has a large-scale public transport infrastructure – underground, surface and water. Over the past 14 years, the city has built a large number of new metro stations, equal in number to those built throughout the history of Moscow. An above-ground metro has appeared – four Moscow Central Diameters, which allow you to get to the Moscow region and nearby areas. In addition, a decision has been made to build a high-speed railway (VSM-1) to St. Petersburg.

“This is the President’s project, a high-speed railway (HSR) connecting St. Petersburg and Moscow, then Nizhny Novgorod, Rostov-on-Don, Voronezh. I think that most of you live in one or another region where this project should come. This means that the entire country will be closer, travel options will be more comfortable, accessible, and the country will develop differently,” the Moscow Mayor emphasized.

The new rail framework will become a powerful impetus for regional development. The HSR-1 (Moscow-St. Petersburg), the construction of which began in 2024, will cover more than 80 percent of the Russian population. The speed of trains will reach 400 kilometers per hour.

More than a million trips have been made by passengers on electric ships since the beginning of the year 110 carriages of the Ivolga 4.0 train will be launched on the MCD by the end of the year

New centers of economic activity are being created in the capital. In addition to the historical center, there will be six more comparable in size. They will be located in abandoned depressed areas where a large number of transport highways intersect. Thus, all districts of Moscow will receive their own modern center for life, work and leisure.

One such center of economic activity is “Yuzhny Port – Tekstilshchiki”It is being created as part of the world’s largest industrial zone reorganization project.

The city is implementing a complex renovation program that has no analogues in the world. It includes 5,175 buildings. City residents are moving from outdated apartments to new, modern and comfortable ones. In 2024, housing was provided for the resettlement of more than 170 thousand Muscovites. In addition, as part of the renovation program, over 400 social facilities will be built and more than 200 thousand jobs will be created.

Renovation program: about 75 percent of new residents took advantage of the city’s assistance when moving Sergei Sobyanin: About 1.7 thousand capital courtyards were improved this year

The capital is renewing its urban environment and creating comfortable public spaces. Moscow is developing not just residential areas, but complex districts with parks, squares and embankments where you can work and relax. They are becoming mini-cities with high-quality infrastructure, where there is everything necessary for life.

The world’s largest monument restoration program is in effect in the capital. More than 2,100 of them were restored in 2011–2024. More than 150 more monuments are planned to be restored annually.

“In total, more than two thousand monuments have been restored, are in very good condition and continue to serve Muscovites not only as monuments, but also as life, business, public and city organizations,” said Sergei Sobyanin.

Instead of old cultural centers, multifunctional recreation and entertainment centers are appearing in the city. The largest cinema park “Moskino” was built in TiNAO.

The capital can be proud of its unique, accessible and best healthcare system in the world. Today, artificial intelligence (AI) helps to recognize diseases from CT, MRI and ultrasound images. With the help of AI, it will be possible to predict health problems for each resident and conduct preventive work. The average life expectancy in the capital is expected to approach 80 years.

Digital technologies are also being implemented in the education system. The world’s largest project, the Moscow Electronic School, allows for the creation of a digital twin of each student and the personalization of their development trajectory. Secondary vocational education is being revived. The capital is dramatically improving its quality and doubling the number of colleges. 75 percent of vacancies on the labor market are for workers with this type of training.

Moscow Mayor: Funds for school reconstruction included in draft budget Sobyanin: Budget expenditures on healthcare development will be increased by 8%

The digital ecosystem is developing. Its 90 key projects cover all areas of city life, from public utilities to city services, transport, and education.

The digital system of Moscow services is the best in the world according to the United Nations. The mos.ru portal offers 420 electronic services. They allow you to draw up documents and social benefits, pay bills, and transmit meter readings.

A digital twin of a city is a project that helps to see its future for decades to come, plan development, design buildings, structures, engineering and social infrastructure, ensuring a comfortable life for Muscovites.

The capital is becoming safer thanks to new technologies, artificial intelligence systems, video surveillance, and facial recognition. The crime rate in Moscow is one of the lowest among world cities.

Sobyanin: The draft budget for 2025 includes the development of digital technologies

The capital’s economic structure corresponds to the world level: it has a powerful industry, government services, transport, logistics, creative industry, etc. Labor productivity in Moscow is twice as high as the national average.

“Well, Moscow ultimately occupies a worthy place among all the cities of the world in terms of economy, despite the fact that the largest financial centers of the world are ahead of us. Despite the sanctions, despite the sanctions war declared against us, despite the difficulties, the SVO and so on, Moscow today is one of the world leaders. It is very important that it maintains its leadership. It is the locomotive of the country’s development, and I hope that you will carry this flag further and develop our beautiful capital and wonderful Russia,” the Mayor of Moscow concluded.

MIL-OSI Russia: Dmitry Grigorenko: The main challenge in digitalization is to fulfill the planned

MILES AXLE Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Dmitry Grigorenko took part in the forum of innovative financial technologies Finopolis 2024 in Sochi

Deputy Prime Minister – Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko took part in the session “Digital technologies serving society: a new look at fintech and government services” as part of the Finopolis 2024 forum of innovative financial technologies in Sochi.

He noted that Russia is currently integrated into the global IT space. This is proven by the fact that our country faces the same digitalization challenges as all other countries. The key tasks remain the development of data transmission and processing infrastructure, the introduction of artificial intelligence, information protection, overcoming regulatory barriers and adaptation to changes in consumer expectations.

The Deputy Prime Minister stressed that these challenges concern both public and private institutions, including the banking sector.

“We have designed a national project, “Data Economy”. This is the basis for work. But it is important to remember that plans alone will not lead to results. Therefore, the main challenge in digitalization is to implement everything planned,” said Dmitry Grigorenko.

Today, the financial sector is helping to implement measures aimed at creating a safe digital space for citizens and businesses. In particular, together with the Bank of Russia, the Government is developing the architecture of a single anti-fraud platform. It is expected that it will ensure online interaction between government agencies, banks, telecom operators and digital platforms to combat telephone fraud. In addition, the platform will allow for the prompt identification and blocking of phishing sites, fraudsters’ phone numbers, as well as their accounts and cards, stolen accounts and suspicious transactions.

Currently, the development of a legislative initiative to combat cyber fraud is also being discussed together with the banking sector. It is aimed at eliminating the current problem of fraud, when criminals issue microloans to third-party accounts or anonymous electronic wallets.

It is assumed that the initiative will establish a ban on issuing microloans to third parties and will establish a requirement for the loan amount to be transferred exclusively to the borrower’s bank account. To open an account, the borrower will have to undergo an identification procedure – this can be done using biometrics or in person at the bank.

Earlier, as part of the work to combat cyber fraud, the Government approved a procedure for self-prohibition on the issuance of consumer loans and microloans. The corresponding resolution has been signed.

Denis Manturov took part in the opening of the Kyakhta customs and logistics terminal on the Russian-Mongolian border

19 hours ago

First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov took part in the opening of the new Kyakhta customs and logistics terminal on the Russian-Mongolian border via video link. The event was also attended by the head of Buryatia, Aleksey Tsydenov.

“A modern, technologically advanced complex has been created for cargo handling, temporary storage, customs clearance of goods, radiation and phytosanitary control. The formed infrastructure will increase the efficiency of customs procedures when moving goods across the Russian-Mongolian border. We currently have 10 border crossings in this direction. Among them, the Kyakhta automobile checkpoint is one of the busiest. The new terminal will allow us to expand bottlenecks and increase throughput. This is especially important given the growing role of Asian countries in the global economy and the reorientation of significant volumes of our foreign trade to this direction. The counter flow of goods with the states of the eastern macroregion will continue to expand. Therefore, today’s event, we can safely say, contributes to the development of Russia’s foreign economic activity,” Denis Manturov noted.

“The terminal that opens today in Kyakhta is the first and so far the only such facility. Kyakhta is the main checkpoint and communications hub between Russia and Mongolia. And the growing cargo flow is exactly what meets the task set by the President of increasing the throughput capacity of international transport corridors by one and a half times. The new infrastructure for handling cargo and handling vehicles creates all the necessary conditions for increasing throughput capacity,” said Alexey Tsydenov.

The total area of the terminal is 188.8 thousand square meters. The customs control zone is designed to accommodate 80 trucks at a time. Temporary storage warehouses can accommodate up to 350 trucks. There are also two accredited laboratories on the territory of the terminal, which will allow checking the quality of supplied products and other goods. All this will increase throughput: clearance at the point will take no more than 10 minutes.

During the meeting, the most important issues of implementing measures to preserve and develop the Solovetsky Archipelago were discussed.

In his speech, Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus’ Kirill noted that the Government of the Russian Federation has done a great deal of work to organize effective interaction between government agencies and the Church in order to preserve the spiritual, cultural and natural heritage of the Solovetsky Archipelago, as well as to develop its infrastructure.

As part of the implementation of the decisions of the Board of Trustees, meetings of the headquarters on issues of preserving and developing the Solovetsky Archipelago are regularly held at the Government site under the chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko. Representatives of federal and regional authorities, as well as representatives of the Church, participate in these meetings.

Dmitry Chernyshenko noted that the meeting was held with a new composition: by decree of President Vladimir Putin, six new members were included in the board of trustees, and a new chairman of the foundation’s board, Andrei Guts, was appointed.

“Let me remind you that President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on celebrating the 600th anniversary of the founding of the first monastic settlement on Solovki in 2029. Preparations for this date are of particular importance, because the Solovetsky Archipelago is simultaneously one of the most important religious sites, a point of attraction for pilgrims and tourists, it bears the imprint of the turning point in the history of our country and, in addition, is a unique natural landmark. In anticipation of the 600th anniversary, the Government is carrying out comprehensive work. The federal budget provides funds for the restoration of cultural heritage sites and the construction, reconstruction of transport, utilities and social infrastructure. I would like to note that research work is being carried out that will help determine the optimal annual flow of pilgrims to Solovki,” the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

In connection with preparations for the celebration in 2029 of the 600th anniversary of the founding of the first monastic settlement on the Solovetsky Archipelago, an organizing committee has been created, and plans have been prepared for the main and additional events to prepare for and conduct the celebration.

Schedules for construction and restoration work until 2029 have been drawn up and approved by the co-chairs of the board of trustees. The implementation of activities on the Solovetsky Archipelago is carried out in accordance with the schedules.

Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov said that in the summer of 2024, a set of educational and outreach events for children and youth related to the study of the heritage and history of the Solovetsky Archipelago was held for the first time on the Solovetsky Archipelago. Schoolchildren visited the day camp “Roads of Victory”, took part in thematic shifts and programs, including a student tour guide team.

“Together with the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, Rosmolodezh, the Ministry of Defense, the government of the Arkhangelsk region, the Directorate for the Development of the Solovetsky Archipelago and in cooperation with the Russian Orthodox Church, we have prepared a draft plan of events for next year, which includes holding a shift of the “Movement of the First”, a regional youth sea expedition “Young Fleet of Pomorye”, educational programs of a patriotic nature, an interregional labor project of the Russian student teams “Solovki”, excursion and educational programs, volunteer shifts and schools, as well as other events,” noted Sergey Kravtsov.

In conclusion, His Holiness the Patriarch thanked Dmitry Chernyshenko for the great work done to preserve the spiritual, cultural and natural heritage of the Solovetsky Archipelago and develop its infrastructure. He also expressed confidence that, through joint efforts, the tasks set will be accomplished by the 600th anniversary of monastic life on Solovki and the ancient monastery will shine in its former glory.

The meeting of the board of trustees took place in the Patriarchal Hall of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. It was also attended by Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Administration Maxim Oreshkin, First Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing and Utilities Alexander Lomakin, Minister of Culture Olga Lyubimova, Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov, Deputy Minister of Economic Development Dmitry Vakhrukov, Chairman of the Board of the Foundation for the Preservation and Development of the Solovetsky Archipelago Andrei Guts, Abbot of the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Solovetsky Monastery Bishop Porfiry of Ozersk, Governor of the Arkhangelsk Region Alexander Tsybulsky and others.

“In the second half of 2024, four vessels were delivered to customers: two fishing vessels and two crab vessels. In total, 30 vessels have been built to date within the first stage of investment quotas. Six more should be delivered by the end of the year,” said Dmitry Patrushev. According to the Deputy Prime Minister, the achieved dynamics cannot be reduced.

The implementation of the second stage of investment quotas is also ongoing. An auction for crabs has already taken place, as well as two bidding campaigns for other types of aquatic bioresources. As a result, contracts for the construction of 31 vessels have been concluded, one of which has been delivered to the investor.

The meeting participants paid special attention to issues related to the termination of contracts with investors who were unable to fulfill their obligations, as well as the extension of the construction deadlines for the first stage of crab catchers. Dmitry Patrushev recalled that the initial deadlines for 20 current contracts expire on October 30 of this year. The issue of extending the construction deadlines was discussed. In this regard, Rosrybolovstvo, together with the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Agriculture, must promptly develop decisions on terminating contracts, extending deadlines, or transferring the construction of vessels to other shipyards.

Following the meeting, Dmitry Patrushev instructed interested federal executive bodies to ensure the timely delivery of financial resources to shipbuilding organizations.

Marat Khusnullin gave the go-ahead for traffic on a number of sections of highways in the Moscow and Sverdlovsk regions, the DPR and LPR

On the eve of Road Workers Day, a ceremonial opening of sections of highways took place in the Moscow and Sverdlovsk regions, as well as in the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics.

“Thanks to the President’s systemic support, the joint work of the Government and the regions, and the advanced financing of infrastructure development, over the past six years, more than 100 thousand km of roads have been built, reconstructed, and repaired in the regions. Updating the country’s road framework and opening new sections is another important step towards improving the quality of life of our citizens, reducing travel time, connecting cities, and improving road safety. Today, we are launching traffic on new sections of the M-5 Ural highway and the R-242 Perm-Yekaterinburg highway, as well as sections on the R-280 Novorossiya highway in the DPR and two road sections in the LPR. I would also like to express my gratitude to the heads of the regions and builders for their professionalism, responsible attitude, and significant contribution to our common cause,” said Marat Khusnullin.

Thus, in the Moscow Region, two new sections of the M-5 “Ural” highway, 11 km and 21 km long, were opened: the bypass of the village of Oktyabrsky and Ulyanino – Nepetsino. They complete a large-scale reconstruction of the highway, within the framework of which a new road direction from Moscow to Kolomna was built. More than 2 million people live in the area of attraction of these objects.

Also in the Sverdlovsk region, sections of the R-242 Perm – Yekaterinburg highway were opened after major repairs, which will become part of the M-12 “East”. Their length is about 34 km. The modernized sections will be among the key ones for the full launch of the M-12 route to Yekaterinburg.

In addition, road sections in new regions of the country have been opened after major repairs. In particular, 10 km of the R-280 “Novorossiya” highway from the border with the Rostov region to the city of Novoazovsk have been opened in the Donetsk People’s Republic. There, a lot of work is being done to expand the roadway to four lanes. The highway connects Rostov-on-Don with Mariupol, Melitopol and Simferopol and is part of the land route to Crimea. Two more major repairs have been opened in the Lugansk People’s Republic. The first is more than 26 km long on the 43R-21 highway, which reaches the border with the DPR. It has high social significance for the region and connects many settlements that have no other access roads. The second is between Lugansk and Alchevsk, 23.7 km long on the R-150 highway. The road connects Lugansk with Donetsk and is in high demand among local residents.

“Today we are opening road facilities in several regions of Russia. Federal road workers have done a great deal of work to make the movement of residents of the regions even more comfortable and safe. The road industry is rapidly developing, new highways are being built, and existing ones are being modernized. We are monitoring the development of the regions and trying to provide them with the necessary transport accessibility,” said Transport Minister Roman Starovoit.

Moscow Region Governor Andrei Vorobyov noted that the Moscow Region section was the narrowest section of the M-5 Ural highway and has now been significantly widened.

“I would like to thank the builders, engineers, and specialists for the early delivery of the facility. And on behalf of the residents, I would like to convey words of gratitude to our President, to whom we once appealed and received support. Today, we are opening two very important sections of the road that will radically change the quality of life of 1.5 million residents of the urban districts of Ramenskoye, Lyubertsy, Zhukovsky, Bronnitsy, and Kolomna. Transport accessibility will improve for both those who travel by public transport and those who drive their own cars. I would like to thank Marat Shakirzyanovich Khusnullin and the Government of Russia for their assistance in financing – today we have the opportunity to deliver this very important facility before 2025. There are a large number of federal and regional highways in the Moscow Region, and we are grateful that much attention is being paid to their modernization. This is of fundamental importance for a huge number of people,” said Andrei Vorobyov.

The head of the DPR Denis Pushilin emphasized the high social significance of the R-280 “Novorossiya” highway and its influence on the development of the economic, social and infrastructural components of the region.

“Today we are opening a major overhaul of the R-280 “Novorossiya” highway, which is part of the land route to Crimea and connects the Donetsk People’s Republic with the Rostov and Zaporizhia regions, and also passes through the Kherson region. The first stage is 10 km, and by the end of the year all 37 km will be built and traffic will be launched. This is an unprecedented pace for us, and a significant result for the Russian Federation. Such a speed of construction was achieved due to convenient logistics – inert material is mined here, in the republic,” said Denis Pushilin.

MIL-OSI Russia: Three important steps for a hotelier: Mosturism has prepared instructions for opening a hotel

MILES AXLE Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

The number of tourists visiting Moscow is constantly growing and has already approached pre-pandemic levels: 24.5 million people visited it last year. Due to the increase in tourist flow, the capital will need to expand its hotel stock by 25.7 thousand rooms by 2030. This means that the hotel business is expecting a new rise, and opening hotels remains a profitable investment. But where should an entrepreneur who wants to work in the hospitality industry start? Head of the Hotel Management Department of Mostourism Ekaterina Kirillova has prepared step-by-step instructions for those planning to open a new hotel.

Opening a hotel is not only a significant financial investment, but also the competent execution of the necessary documents. It is important to take into account all the nuances: from the design of rooms and public areas to the selection of a suitable location. Investors are responsible for the funds, desire and opportunities when opening a hotel, and the city will help with the solution of bureaucratic and technical issues. If any questions arise, including after studying the checklist, you can contact the specialists of Mosturism, who provide online consultations.

The first step will be to calculate the financial business model. To begin with, the investor must determine the required (desired) capacity of the room stock and the category of the future hotel. In Moscow, guests’ expectations even from a three-star hotel are already quite high. Therefore, during construction, it is worth considering even the smallest details, without trying to save on quality. Moreover, such requirements are becoming even more relevant for four- and five-star hotels.

You can build a hotel yourself or organize the redevelopment of your inefficiently used building (or purchase such a building with various rights of use).

The location plays a vital role here. Here are the main points to consider in the infrastructure of the chosen area:

transport accessibility (availability of nearby metro stations, convenient transfer from airports and train stations to the hotel and back); availability of nearby business centers, attractions, etc.; proximity to the city center.

The second step is to determine the possibility of using the territory for a hotel. Mosturism draws the attention of investors to the fact that financing the creation of a hotel facility does not cancel the rules of use provided for in a specific territory. The purpose for which the land plot will be used in the future is determined only by the urban development regulations of a specific territory. Therefore, it is very important to first familiarize yourself with the extract on the land plot, which will indicate the possible type of permitted use.

If the required type of permitted use is not available (4.7. “Hotel services”), changes must be made to the land use and development regulations. How to do this, Mosturism will tell you.

To obtain detailed information, you need to be honest about your plans. In the future, by attaching a concept of a hotel project indicating the planned hotel category, number of rooms and management contract with a hotel operator, you will be able to obtain a conclusion from Mosturism.

The third step is construction. After receiving all the necessary permits, it is necessary to start construction on time, designing the hotel in accordance with the technical specifications.

Due to the fact that tourists’ interest in the capital is constantly growing, the demand for comfortable and cozy small hotels with the best price-to-service ratio is also increasing. Since tourism is a priority industry, the Moscow Government is interested in building new high-quality hotels of three-star categories. Good hotels meet the high expectations of guests from the Russian capital and support Moscow’s reputation as one of the most progressive cities in the world.

The city provides comprehensive support to the hotel industry as an important part of the tourism infrastructure and is constantly in dialogue with the hotel business, responding to industry requests. Moscow provides various preferential programs to investors opening new hotels. For example, they can receive the right to preferential rent of buildings and premises at a cost of one ruble per square meter per year. New facilities also appear thanks to the concession mechanism – one of the forms of public-private partnership, which makes it possible to develop hotel infrastructure through investor investments. The Moscow City Tourism Committee forms an up-to-date information field on the dynamics of tourism development in the capital.
