    BEIJING, July 15 (Xinhua) — Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Tuesday called on China and Australia to further strengthen cooperation ties, promote trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, form stronger development synergy and effectively deal with environmental uncertainty.

    Li Qiang made the remarks at the 8th China-Australia Business Leaders Roundtable, which he co-hosted with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Beijing.

    About 30 heads of chambers of commerce and enterprises of the two countries took part in the round table.

    Li Qiang recalled that this year marks the 10th anniversary of the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement, and noted that over the past decade, bilateral economic and trade cooperation has demonstrated remarkable resilience and vitality.

    As the Premier of the State Council pointed out, the economic structures of the two countries are highly complementary and have a solid foundation for linking industrial sectors and markets, making China and Australia natural partners for cooperation.

    Li Qiang noted that China’s vast market will continuously unleash its huge consumer potential, creating more business opportunities for enterprises in both countries. He called on the two sides to strengthen cooperation in cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and life sciences to expand the capabilities of the Chinese and Australian industrial sectors.

    With joint efforts by enterprises from the two countries to enhance cooperation in areas such as clean energy, electric vehicles and energy storage, a world-class green industrial chain with sustainability and competitiveness can be built, the premier stressed.

    Li Qiang said governments and enterprises should move in the same direction to better promote development. He said China will continue to promote high-level opening-up, treat domestic and foreign enterprises equally, and protect the rights and interests of foreign companies and entrepreneurs in China in accordance with the law.

    The Chinese leader also expressed hope that Australia would treat Chinese enterprises doing business in the country fairly and properly address issues related to market access and investment screening.

    Li Qiang called on Chinese and Australian companies to maintain openness, seek cooperation, and further promote market convergence and industrial integration between the two countries.

    E. Albanese noted in his speech that bilateral relations are currently developing steadily and the enthusiasm of business circles of both countries for cooperation is growing sharply.

    The Australian side is ready to strengthen dialogue with the Chinese side, expand cooperation in various fields, including trade, agriculture, industry, energy resources and green development, jointly counter such a global challenge as climate change, and uphold international justice and free trade, added E. Albanese. –0–

  • MIL-OSI Russia: China plays an important role in promoting mutually beneficial cooperation in the field of rare earth metals – Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui

    Moscow, July 15 /Xinhua/ — China plays an important role in promoting mutually beneficial cooperation in the field of rare earth metals, while the negative narratives spread by the United States about the “Chinese threat” in this area sow discord and contradict the laws of economic globalization, Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui said in an opinion piece published in the Russian newspaper Argumenty i Fakty on Tuesday.

    “China has always carried out international cooperation in the mineral resource sector on the basis of equality and mutual benefit, in accordance with the law, and has never resorted to putting pressure on other countries or putting forward political or security-related conditions,” the publication says.

    As Zhang Hanhui emphasized, China has an important mission in the global supply of rare earth metals, accounting for nearly 70 percent of the world’s supply. The ambassador noted that in recent years, China has given priority to the high-quality development of the rare earth metal industry through scientific and technological innovation, consistently carries out industry regulation, and successfully mastered “green” mining technologies, solving the global pollution problem. “Strengthening the management of rare earth metal exports by China contributes to further changing the extensive development model of the industry, promoting its standardization, orderliness and sustainable development,” the Chinese diplomat said.

    The author of the article recalled that in November last year, China revised its Mineral Resources Law. Article 15 of the law clearly stipulates that international cooperation in the field of mineral resources should be actively promoted, adhering to the principles of equality, mutual benefit and win-win. Zhang Hanhui cited striking examples of mutually beneficial cooperation, including the project implemented by Chinese enterprises to modernize the largest lithium deposit in Zimbabwe, as well as the construction of a modern industrial park in Indonesia that formed a complete chain of “nickel mining – material production – battery production”.

    At the same time, as Zhang Hanhui noted, the US has recently been spreading negative narratives about China “weaponizing rare earth metals” and “strangling the world with rare earth metals.” Moreover, Western countries have declared their intention to build supply chains that exclude China and create a “metal NATO.” “These words are not only imbued with Cold War thinking and openly incite division, but also contradict the laws of economic globalization, threatening peace and stability,” the ambassador warned.

    The author of the publication is confident that the only right way is to strengthen international cooperation. As an example, he cited China and Russia, which are linked by comprehensive partnership and strategic interaction in the new era and have a high degree of complementarity in the field of critical minerals. “Deepening cooperation in this area is important,” the Chinese diplomat emphasized.

    Zhang Hanhui recalled that in a joint statement issued in May this year, China and Russia emphasized the importance of mutual supply of mineral resources, intensifying industrial cooperation, expanding cooperation in technology and innovation, and strengthening industrial chains. “The parties will jointly promote equal and mutually beneficial cooperation in the field of critical minerals, firmly defend the rights and interests of China, Russia and a wide range of developing countries, jointly achieve equal and orderly multipolarity, accessible and inclusive economic globalization, making Chinese-Russian contributions to global development and prosperity,” the Chinese Ambassador to the Russian Federation concluded. –0–

    Moscow, July 15 (Xinhua) — Russia will continue to achieve its goals through a special military operation (SMO) if Moscow’s willingness to negotiate through diplomatic means does not find a response, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Tuesday.

    S. Ryabkov pointed out that Moscow is ready to negotiate, and the diplomatic path to settlement remains preferable for it. If the Russian Federation’s readiness to negotiate does not find a response, the goals set will continue to be achieved through the SVO, the Deputy Foreign Minister emphasized.

    The diplomat drew attention to the fact that for Moscow “this position is unshakable.” “We would like Washington and NATO as a whole to treat it with the utmost seriousness,” S. Ryabkov pointed out.

    Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Alexander Grushko stated that Moscow has a negative attitude towards the supply of weapons to Ukraine through NATO, “this is further evidence that NATO is not really interested in peace.”

    “I would like to remind you that at the summit in The Hague /NATO Secretary General Mark/ Rutte stated that ‘our common task is to make NATO more lethal’, not in the sense that it will die in a few days, but to make it more deadly, and also to keep Ukraine in the fight,” noted A. Grushko.

    On Monday, US President Donald Trump said Russia needed to reach a deal on the conflict in Ukraine within 50 days, as well as to supply American weapons to the Ukrainian Armed Forces through NATO.

    Commenting on the deadlines for concluding the agreement announced by D. Trump, A. Grushko noted that “first of all, this is very strange.” As the Deputy Foreign Minister pointed out, “any agreement presupposes negotiations.”

    According to A. Grushko, “yesterday no call was made to the Ukrainian side to respond to the Russian Federation’s readiness to resume negotiations.” “From this we must conclude that there is no real interest on the part of the West to facilitate the successful completion of these negotiations,” the Deputy Foreign Minister believes.

    US President Donald Trump on Monday announced a new arms supply scheme for Ukraine, under which the US will sell a large batch of weapons to European countries, after which they will hand them over to Kyiv and also replenish their stockpiles through new purchases from Washington. –0–

    BEIJING, July 15 (Xinhua) — China hopes to work with Australia to continuously deepen and expand state-to-state cooperation to achieve mutual benefit and a higher level of win-win results for the benefit of the two peoples, Chinese Premier Li Qiang said Tuesday.

    Li Qiang made the remarks during the 10th annual China-Australia heads of government meeting, which he co-hosted with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Beijing.

    As Li Qiang noted, currently, all countries are facing new challenges in their development amid growing instability and uncertainty in the global economy. According to him, against this background, the significance of strengthening exchanges and cooperation between China and Australia as important trade and economic partners is becoming increasingly significant.

    The Chinese leader noted that earlier in the day, Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Prime Minister E. Albanese and reached an important consensus on further deepening China-Australia relations.

    The economies of China and Australia, Li Qiang continued, are highly complementary and provide ample space for cooperation in areas such as energy, mineral resources, agricultural products, green development and scientific and technological innovation.

    According to the Premier of the State Council, China hopes to make full use of various dialogue mechanisms with the Australian side, strengthen the planning and design of cooperation in various sectors, identify more points of convergence of interests and new points of economic growth, so as to unleash the huge potential of trade and economic cooperation between the two countries.

    China hopes that Australia will provide a fair, open and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese enterprises operating in Australia, Li Qiang said. He also expressed China’s readiness to work with Australia to fully support exchanges in areas such as culture, education, tourism and regional cooperation, and further facilitate bilateral people-to-people exchanges.

    Li Qiang noted that China and Australia, as supporters and beneficiaries of multilateralism and free trade, are active promoters of cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region. The Premier of the State Council called on the two sides to strengthen communication and interaction in multilateral formats, uphold the rules-based multilateral trading system, and jointly promote a favorable environment for international trade and economic cooperation.

    E. Albanese, for his part, noted that positive dynamics are currently being observed in the development of Australian-Chinese relations. The Australian side pays increased attention and actively promotes the construction of stable and constructive relations with the PRC, he noted, emphasizing that Australia adheres to the one-China policy and opposes “Taiwan independence.”

    The Prime Minister said Australia was committed to strengthening high-level exchanges, dialogue and communication with China in various areas, including diplomacy and trade, without allowing differences to define the bilateral relationship.

    Noting that the economies of Australia and China are highly complementary, E. Albanese stressed that Australia looks forward to deepening mutually beneficial cooperation with China in areas such as economics, trade, agriculture, tourism and culture, as well as strengthening cultural and humanitarian exchanges in areas such as education, public diplomacy and youth.

    He added that Australia is willing to provide a stable and predictable environment for Chinese enterprises to invest and operate in the country and welcomes more Chinese students and tourists to visit Australia.

    E. Albanese said Australia strongly supports multilateralism and free and fair trade, and looks forward to working with China to address global challenges such as climate change and jointly defend the multilateral trading system, with the World Trade Organization at its core. –0–

    LONDON, July 15 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump has urged Kyiv to step up strikes deep into Russian territory, even asking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky whether Moscow could be a target if long-range weapons were supplied to Ukraine, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.

    “Vladimir, can you hit Moscow? Can you also hit St. Petersburg?” Trump asked during a phone call with the Ukrainian president on July 4, to which Zelensky replied: “Absolutely. We can if you give us weapons,” the Financial Times reported, citing two people familiar with the conversation.

    The phone call came just a day after Trump’s conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which the US president reportedly described as “bad.”

    According to the Financial Times, while it remains unclear whether the United States will push ahead with the delivery of the requested weapons to Ukraine, sources familiar with the matter said Mr Trump appeared keen to explore more aggressive force options to put pressure on Moscow during the talks.

    The White House and the Ukrainian presidential office did not respond to requests for comment, the Financial Times adds. –0–

    Kyiv, July 15 /Xinhua/ — The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on Tuesday approved the country’s temporary withdrawal from the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction (Ottawa Convention), MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak reported on Telegram.

    Last month, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said that official Kyiv needed to suspend the treaty because the Russian Federation, not being a signatory to the Ottawa Convention, had been widely using anti-personnel mines in the Russian-Ukrainian armed conflict since 2022. Because of this, as noted, Ukraine found itself in an unequal and unfair situation that limits its right to self-defense.

    According to the text of the bill approved by the Verkhovna Rada, the Ottawa Convention will be suspended for Ukraine until the armed conflict with the Russian Federation is completely ended, as reported by the Ukrinform news agency.

    The Ottawa Convention was signed in December 1997. Ukraine joined the treaty in February 1999 and ratified it in May 2005.

    On June 29 of this year, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree that puts into effect the decision of the National Security and Defense Council on the country’s withdrawal from the Ottawa Convention. After that, the corresponding bill was submitted to parliament for consideration. –0–

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Just Four Months – Russians Reveal How Long They Are Ready to Live Without a Salary

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    How do Russians evaluate the financial “safety cushion”?

    During the survey, 38% of Russians admitted to having no savings – they have no savings, so not receiving a salary in the first month will have a negative impact on their standard of living. The remaining citizens noted that they have a “safety cushion”, savings are enough to live without income:

    13% of Russians – no more than a month; 24% – within two months; another 12% of citizens will be able to hold out for up to six months; 7% of respondents are ready to live on savings for up to a year; only 6% of Russians have savings that will last for a year or more.

    A similar picture was demonstrated by the results of a similar survey conducted a year earlier. Then, 27% of respondents stated that their savings would last up to three months, and 12% – up to six months. The typical portrait of a person with savings was a family man, holding a management position in a large city and having a higher education.

    What has changed in the area of financial literacy among Russians?

    Although almost 40% of Russians do not have savings, the level of economic literacy in the country continues to grow. As the results of the study showed:

    78% of the population control the family budget; 80% of citizens plan income and purchases; about 50% of respondents keep track of their funds.

    “Surveys show that Russians are attentive to money – many plan a budget, control expenses, and keep records,” the expert noted.

    By the way, the literacy level of men is higher than that of women. Representatives of the stronger sex tend to plan expenses for a longer period – from six months: women are more likely to make impulsive purchases. Experts reminded that having a “safety cushion” for 3-6 months is the optimal solution that will allow you to survive a crisis or force majeure.

    A working meeting was held at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University between SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy, the Minister of Science, Higher Education and Technological Development of the Arkhangelsk Region Alexey Aksenov and the Acting Rector of the Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M.V. Lomonosov Mikhail Danilov.

    The main topic of discussion was the creation of the “Competence Center for the Application of Laser Welding and Additive Technologies in Shipbuilding”. The initiative is aimed at developing joint scientific research, accelerating the implementation of innovative technologies and strengthening the country’s technological sovereignty in key industries.

    The meeting was attended by the rector of SPbPU Andrey Rudskoy, the vice-rector for research work of SPbPU Yuri Fomin, the head of the Research Laboratory “Laser and Additive Technologies” of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport Mikhail Kuznetsov, and professor of the Higher School of Physics and Materials Technology of IMMiT Sergey Parshin.

    “Polytechnic has always been and remains a forge of engineering personnel capable of not only working in the current conditions, but also shaping the technological agenda of tomorrow. Today, we are betting on the development of advanced technologies in the field of materials science, laser and additive processes, digital engineering – those areas that are already determining the appearance of the industry of the future. Cooperation with colleagues from the Arctic region opens up new horizons: we combine fundamental science, engineering schools and real production tasks. I am confident that this synergy will become the basis for comprehensive solutions that can change the infrastructure of the North and become an example for other regions of the country,” Andrey Rudskoy emphasized.

    It is worth noting that over the course of three years of close cooperation with the Scientific and Educational Center “Russian Arctic” of NArFU, specialists of the Scientific and Research Laboratory “Laser and Additive Technologies” of IMMiT SPbPU have completed several projects on direct laser growth and laser welding of thin metals. Now the polytechnicians are faced with the task of developing a technology for hybrid laser-arc welding of samples with a blunting thickness of at least 30 mm. In the future, joint interests include the creation of a technological complex and the introduction of laser technologies into the production of city-forming enterprises.

    At the meeting, the guests voiced a proposal to create a center, discussed the levels of interaction and upcoming stages of joint work.

    “For the Arkhangelsk Region, the development of advanced production technologies capable of ensuring reliable and efficient operation in the conditions of the North and the Arctic is especially important. Joint scientific projects and the creation of a competence center are a step towards a real technological breakthrough. We are counting on practical results and are ready for systematic work on the implementation of new solutions in shipbuilding and related industries,” noted Alexey Aksenov.

    During the visit, a tour of the university campus and research laboratories of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport of SPbPU took place. The guests examined the equipment of the Laser and Additive Technologies Research Laboratory in most detail. They were interested in the robotic technological complexes and exhibits manufactured as part of joint projects with the Russian Arctic Research and Education Center of NArFU.

    “In recent years, within the framework of cooperation with the Scientific and Educational Center “Russian Arctic” of NArFU, we have successfully implemented several projects using direct laser growth and laser welding technologies. We see great interest in laser technologies from the Arctic region and are confident that the next stage of cooperation will allow us to move from pilot solutions to large-scale integration of technologies into production,” said Mikhail Kuznetsov, Director of the Russian-German Center for Laser Technologies.

    Alexey Aksenov and Mikhail Danilov showed keen interest in the scientific developments of the Polytechnic University and expressed readiness for further cooperation. Following the meeting, a decision was made to hold a series of working meetings for a more detailed discussion of the project.

    The visit of the delegation from the Arkhangelsk region became an important step towards strengthening interregional scientific and technical cooperation. SPbPU and NArFU intend to develop a strategic partnership aimed at the technological development of the shipbuilding industry and the Arctic region.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: What Flowers Say: New Exhibition at the School of Design

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: State University “Higher School of Economics” –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    HSE ART GALLERY in partnership with the platform Artz. Vork continues the cycle of group exhibition projects from the “Big Themes” series, rethinking fundamental ideas and offering new interpretations of timeless concepts. This time, the theme of the exhibition was flowers – their images, symbolism and meanings.

    Flowers are traditionally associated with transience: they do not live long, quickly fade, and disappear almost without a trace. Therefore, flora in art often becomes an image of memory, loss, something that slips away but continues to exist. Alexandra Lurye, Maria Panina, Anna Stavinozhenko, and Alina Kerimova work in this vein. In the context of the climate and political crisis, flora is increasingly acquiring features of vulnerability and anxiety — as in the works of Anastasia Kovaleva, Alexandra Zamurueva, and Polina Filippova. Some artists — Irina Afanasyeva and Galya Fadeeva — radically rethink the very idea of the “language of flowers,” rejecting established symbols in favor of new ways of expression. When we talk about flowers, we most often imagine something living, fragile, tangible. But what happens when flora loses its materiality and turns into a digital image? This question is asked by Masha Rogova, Dariella, and Olga Filina. Flowers at the exhibition become a reason for a conversation about identity, personal history and deep self-reflection — in the works of Inga Tatarshao, Ekaterina Ivanitskaya and Marya Dmitrieva. Separately, the exhibition presents “Flower Horoscope” — a fantasy digital project by the art group Agey Tomesh.

    One of the conceptual lines of the exhibition is the metaphorical convergence of the phenomena of herbarium and collecting. To collect a herbarium and to collect art means to touch time. In both cases, it is about choosing, selecting and preserving what can disappear. However, in the post-digital era, when the boundaries between the physical and the virtual are increasingly blurred, a new form of interaction with art is emerging – phygital collecting, combining the material (physical) and the digital (digital). Being part of the exhibition program Biennale of private collections, the project invites us to reflect on the nature of phygital collecting. This format became the basis of the platform Artz. Vork, where viewers can find all the works on display — add a memorable piece to their digital collection and purchase a print based on it. The Flower Horoscope is an archaic system of symbolic classification found in cultural layers of the supposed pre-continental period. Unlike astrological systems based on observation of stellar movement, this model correlates human individuality with phenological cycles — the flowering time of plants, seasonal weather changes, and the migration of fauna.

    Each day of the modern calendar year corresponds to a certain type of ancient plant (usually a flower), supposedly possessing its own “character” or behavioral metaphor. It is believed that a person born on this day inherits the qualities attributed to “his” plant, as well as its supposed role in the natural-social structure.

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    The heat is on: real summer has arrived in St. Petersburg, and applicants have just over a week to apply for admission to a university. There are many opportunities, but it is difficult to make the right choice. Not all graduates leave school with a clear understanding of where exactly they will go to get higher education. Sometimes a strong emotion becomes a turning point for making a decision. For example, many students stay to study at the Polytechnic University under the impression of the beauty of its buildings and park. But first, they need to get there. Potential students will be helped by… superheroes of the Polytechnic Universe.

    Now you can see them on light boxes in the vestibules and on the escalators of eleven stations of the St. Petersburg metro, and they will definitely not let you go astray. If you get on the wrong line, change to the red one. If you hear in the train: “The next station is Politekhnicheskaya”, get off, this is where you need to go. Go up the escalator, the superheroes will wave their hand in greeting – and now you are outside, and you are greeted by the snow-white main building of the Polytechnic and a green park with a 46-meter old tower. You must admit, there is no better place for student life.

    “This year we have kept the slogan of the previous admissions campaign, “You are the main hero!” It has proven itself well,” said Dmitry Voronov, Head of the Department for Promotion of Educational Programs at SPbPU. “The corporate style with comic book characters was created by the Visual Communications Department of the Public Relations Office, and the advertising layouts were prepared by the Department for Promotion of Educational Programs.”

    Let us recall that in 2024, almost 145 thousand applications were submitted for budget places in the bachelor’s and specialist’s degree programs at the Polytechnic University – this is 70% more than in 2023. It is too early to sum up the results of the 2025 admissions campaign, but by July 15, 108,126 applications had already been submitted for all forms of study in the bachelor’s and specialist’s degree programs. The largest number – 26,000 applications – were received by the Institute of Computer Science and Cybersecurity, in second place (25,000) – the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade, in third (12,000) – the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport.

    Among the areas of training, the most popular are “Software Engineering”, “Construction”, “Information Systems and Technologies”.

    The admissions committee notes the continued high demand of applicants for all areas of the IT sphere and the growing interest in such areas of training as: “Nuclear Power Engineering and Thermal Physics”, “Thermal Power Engineering and Thermal Engineering”, “Automation of Technological Processes and Production”, “Biotechnology”.

    The acceptance of documents continues. The rules of the admission campaign and its progress can be found aton our website.

    BEIJING, July 15 (Xinhua) — Two special trains on the China-Europe international rail freight route arrived one after another at the Multimodal Transport Center of the China-SCO Regional Economic and Trade Cooperation Demonstration Zone (hereinafter referred to as the China-SCO Demonstration Zone), delivering more than 3,100 tons of feed wheat flour from Kazakhstan to Shandong Province, east China. After unloading, the goods were stored in a warehouse in the national logistics hub park for China-Europe trains in Qingdao, east China, marking the official opening of the warehouse-shipment-trade integrated service for goods transported along the aforementioned China-Europe routes.

    According to the Qingdao Daily newspaper, the “warehouse-transportation-trade” format in the context of international China-Europe rail freight transportation implies the close integration of three links – warehousing, transportation and trade – into a single, highly efficient and coordinated trade and logistics ecosystem within the framework of the operation of the aforementioned trains. Such an integrated service allows for the optimization of resource allocation, reduction of intermediate links and significant improvement of overall operational efficiency.

    According to a representative of Shandong Hi-Speed Group, the company has currently developed a comprehensive solution for the entire process in the format of “warehouse-transportation-trade” for a customer of feed wheat flour from Kazakhstan, taking into account customer needs.

    Zang Yuanqi, an official with the China-SCO Demonstration Zone Management Committee, said the zone will give full play to its public good character, accelerate the construction of the Qingdao hub, and develop and strengthen new business models such as the integration of transportation and trade to accurately and efficiently serve the country’s foreign trade enterprises. -0-

    WASHINGTON, July 15 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump appeared to be losing patience with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, expressing frustration on Monday just hours after threatening to impose “harsh tariffs” on Russia.

    “I’m disappointed in him, but I’m not done with him. But I’m disappointed in him,” Trump said in an interview with the BBC.

    Hours earlier, during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in the Oval Office, the US president warned that the US would impose very tough tariffs if a ceasefire agreement in Ukraine was not reached within 50 days.

    US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick later clarified that Trump actually meant “economic sanctions” when he threatened “secondary tariffs” against Russia, The Washington Times reports.

    After a telephone conversation with D. Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed gratitude to the US President on the X social network for his “willingness to support Ukraine” and welcomed their strong relations. –0–

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    In Moscow, thousands of improvement projects are implemented annually in different areas – most of the objects are located outside the center.

    “This year, specialists are putting in order about

    700 streets. Among them are the outbound highways: Profsoyuznaya Street with 60th Anniversary of October Avenue, Shchyolkovskoye Highway with Krasnoprudnaya and Bolshaya Cherkizovskaya Streets. On Volgogradsky Prospekt, one of the city’s largest outbound highways, work is underway on the section from the Garden Ring to the Moscow Ring Road with a total length of 12.5 kilometers. The project also includes Marxist Street. The area will become even more comfortable for residents, while the transport function of the highway will be preserved,” the Moscow Mayor said in on your telegram channel.

    Source: Sergei Sobyanin’s Telegram channel @mos_sobyanin

    Volgogradsky Prospekt is one of the largest outbound highways in Moscow. More than 860 thousand people live in the houses located next to it. More than 110 thousand cars drive along this avenue per day, and the passenger flow of 24 city transport routes is 120 thousand people daily.

    The comprehensive improvement of Volgogradsky Prospekt and Marxistskaya Street began in April 2025. Work is being carried out on the section from the Garden Ring to the Moscow Ring Road. Its total length is 12.5 kilometers.

    The main objective is to make the urban environment more functional and comfortable for local residents, while maintaining the transport purpose of the highway.

    Instead of the outdated stops along the avenue, 30 modern pavilions will be installed. Thanks to the infrastructure upgrade, as well as due to the adjustment of traffic lights and the provision of priority to city transport, its speed will increase by 20 percent.

    About 490 benches and trash bins will be placed on sidewalks and in other suitable places. 26 informational steles will help to find your way around.

    It will be lighter and safer in the evening and at night thanks to the installation of more than a thousand energy-saving lamps. In addition, 1055 old gas-discharge lamps will be replaced with LED ones. Contrast lighting poles will be installed at unregulated pedestrian crossings.

    Volgogradsky Prospekt will become much greener: previously lost lawns will be restored here. More than 1,300 large trees will be planted along the highway, including in the area of the exit to the Moscow Ring Road. Four green islands with decorative compositions of coniferous plants will be arranged on the scenic sections of the highway.

    To improve the appearance of the avenue, decorative fencing with an individual pattern will be installed along industrial enterprises and garage complexes. Ventilation shafts and other engineering structures will receive decorative cladding. In addition, the dog walking area near house 187/16 will be updated.

    Specialists will replace the pavement surfaces (about 105.3 thousand square meters) and roads (111.4 thousand square meters). Overhead cable lines will be moved underground and an additional drainage system will be installed.

    Over 380 people and over 70 units of equipment are involved in the work. The improvement of Volgogradsky Prospekt with Marxistskaya Street is planned to be completed this fall.
