    This year, 1.5 times more students applied for general development programs than in 2024. The programs at the Children’s Art School are aimed at creating a creative atmosphere in which not only professional skills are developed, but also the personal qualities of the child, including creativity, the ability to express themselves, and self-confidence.

    In Moscow, there are 153 creative educational institutions for children, subordinate to the capital’s Department of CultureThe children have access to a wide range of educational areas in the fields of music, theatre, choreography and fine arts.

    “The second stage of accepting applications to art schools from May 16 to July 1 was held for general development programs. This year, we have seen an increase in interest in general development programs: in fact, more than eight thousand applications were received. This is 47 percent more than in 2024. Piano remains one of the most popular areas – more than 1.7 thousand applications were received, over a thousand applications were received for training in vocal art and more than 500 applications for painting and architecture,” emphasized the Minister of the Moscow Government, head of the capital’s Department of Culture

    Alexey Fursin.

    General development programs are suitable for children who do not plan to move to a professional educational trajectory in the future, but want to acquire quality skills. The training system is flexible and modular, with the ability to choose the duration and directions.

    Young applicants applied on the mos.ru portal and in person at creative educational institutions. Now the kids will have to take entrance exams, where the admissions committee will evaluate their knowledge and skills. In music schools, future students are tested for their sense of rhythm, memory, articulation, and musical ear. For this, they are asked, for example, to perform any children’s song and clap along to the rhythm. Similar tests are held in other areas.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: On World Dog Day, Moscow State Veterinary Service Doctors Talked About Their Most Interesting Patients

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Every year, Moscow’s state veterinary clinics receive about 250 thousand dogs. In the first half of this year, city residents came to see their dogs more than 139 thousand times, of which 32 thousand pets needed veterinary care for the first time.

    On July 2, World Dog Day, specialists from state veterinary clinics talked about the specifics of working with man’s faithful friends and remembered the most interesting patients.

    Little Ones and Giants

    Muscovites increasingly prefer miniature dog breeds – this is a trend of recent years. Today, veterinarians unanimously call Yorkshire terriers the most popular breed – these dogs are encountered more often than others at receptions in state veterinary clinics. Chihuahuas, French bulldogs, Spitz and corgis are slightly inferior to Yorkies in numbers, but are also common in the capital.

    Among the frequent guests of veterinary clinics are also toy terriers, pugs, spitz and Jack Russell terriers, which confirms the steady interest in compact and active breeds. But rare patients of the capital’s veterinarians include French spaniels, Tyrolean hounds, Czech fouseks, Swedish vallhunds and Swiss laufhunds.

    The smallest Yorkie weighing 500 grams was registered at the Krasnogvardeyskaya Veterinary Clinic, and a Chihuahua that fit in the owner’s palm was treated at Kuntsevskaya. Among the largest breeds, pets weighing from 75 to 120 kilograms were seen at the veterinarian’s office – a Spanish water dog, a Caucasian shepherd, a Leonberger and an Alabai. The record belongs to a patient at the Butovskaya Veterinary Clinic – a Tibetan mastiff named Orlando, who weighs more than 120 kilograms.

    Seasoned and biting

    The most “biting monsters” who are ready to eat the vet at the appointment are among miniature dog breeds. Toy terriers are the top dog, and Chihuahuas, griffons, Pomeranians and Yorkies are also among the most toothy patients.

    Labradors behave ideally in the veterinarian’s office – they are the most docile and obedient patients. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Bichon Frise, Sennenhund and Bulldog breeds calmly visit the veterinary clinic.

    The Zelenograd veterinary clinic recently accepted an English bulldog with a truly British character – the dog was able to remove a skin lesion under local anesthesia, and the patient not only did not worry, but also continued to play calmly with the paramedic.

    The most common diseases

    Most often, pets are brought to Moscow state veterinary clinics with complaints of digestive system problems, gastroenteritis, enterocolitis. Also among the most common ailments in dogs are diseases of the urinary and cardiovascular systems.

    In miniature breeds, cardiologists often note mitral valve endocardiosis and cardiomyopathy. As a rule, dogs are brought to surgeons, orthopedists and traumatologists with orthopedic diseases, lameness of various etiologies, luxation of the patella, and also with tumors.

    Veterinarians also cite dental problems, kennel cough, and atopic dermatitis as common diseases in dogs.

    Complex cases

    In Moscow state veterinary clinics, dogs undergo operations of any degree of complexity – dental, oncological, ophthalmological, on the musculoskeletal system and many others.

    Recently, a four-year-old dog was operated on at the Zelenograd veterinary clinic. Due to numerous cesarean sections, she developed adhesive disease. A planned sterilization turned into a difficult case – surgeon Nadezhda Kuzina with great difficulty separated the uterus and ovaries from other organs, including the intestines, bladder and peritoneum. After the operation, the calm and leisurely patient turned into a lively dog, became super active, cheerful, which greatly surprised the owners. It turned out that adhesions were pulling everything inside and preventing her from moving.

    Pavel Artamonov, a trauma surgeon at the Krasnogvardeyskaya Veterinary Clinic, encountered a unique case when removing a poodle’s spleen. The weight of the removed organ, together with the tumor, was five kilograms, meaning that the 16-kilogram patient “lost weight” to 11 kilograms after the operation.

    The same veterinary clinic told of an almost unbelievable case of healing a 10-year-old Yorkie. The dog was picked up on the street. In addition to a tumor of the uterus and ovaries, she had multiple hernias and a prolapsed bladder into the hernial sac. During the operation, the patient’s heart stopped four times, and there was also swelling of the brain stem. Surgeon Ekaterina Baranova and a team of specialists had to perform resuscitation four times. As a result, the dog’s condition was stabilized and within a week after the operation, she fully recovered.

    There are 25 state veterinary clinics in Moscow. You can make an appointment online atMos.ru, in the mobile applications “Gosuslugi Moskvy” and “My Moscow”, as well as through contact center operators by phone: 7 495 612-12-12 (24 hours).

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Moscow power engineers are increasing the volume of construction of a 20-kilovolt network

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    The capital’s power engineers are continuing large-scale work to build a 20-kilovolt backbone network, said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Public Utilities and Improvement Petr Biryukov.

    “Today, 20-kilovolt electric networks are one of the main areas of energy; this year we will lay more than 400 kilometers of such networks. The 6-10-kilovolt medium-voltage networks that currently dominate the capital are obsolete and can no longer cope with the increasing load. To solve this problem, it is necessary to introduce a higher voltage class,” said Pyotr Biryukov.

    The use of networks with a capacity of 20 kilowatts allows for an increase in the throughput and radius of technological connection and a reduction in energy losses.

    Currently, more than 4.5 thousand kilometers of such cable lines are in operation in the capital. In particular, they provide power supply to the Skolkovo Innovation Center, the Luzhniki Stadium, the Moscow-City business center, a number of stations of the Big Circle Line of the metro, the Moskvarium at VDNKh and other significant facilities.

    In the future, active development of a network with a capacity of 20 kilowatts will increase the maneuverability of the capital’s energy system and ensure reliable energy supply to consumers.

    “Moscow is deservedly proud of its developed network of city institutions of creative education: 153 educational institutions, each with its own long-standing traditions, but with a single standard of comfort and equipment. Today, they teach more than 40 areas in the field of music, painting, choreography and theater. About 100 thousand children study in Moscow art schools. And among them, there are many who will eventually turn their passion into a life’s work,” the Mayor of Moscow wrote.

    He noted that, as in any other business, success in a creative profession is achieved through hard daily work and regular participation in competitions. Competitions with peers provide indispensable experience and incentive to improve one’s art, and victories open up new horizons.

    Last academic year, students from the capital’s art schools represented the capital at more than 20 venues around the world.

    “Muscovites have won prizes in creative competitions in Andorra, Austria, Belarus, Bulgaria, Spain, China, Cyprus, the Netherlands, the USA, Switzerland and other countries: a total of 10,000 awards and incentive prizes, including more than 280 Grand Prix,” said Sergei Sobyanin.

    ZAGREB, July 2 (Xinhua) — Western leaders should resume dialogue with Russia to help end the conflict in Ukraine, Croatian President Zoran Milanovic said Tuesday after talks with Slovakian President Peter Pellegrini in Zagreb.

    “There is no excuse for not having a dialogue,” Z. Milanovic noted at a joint press conference, adding that even during the Soviet era, negotiations were conducted between the West and the Soviet Union.

    “The whole architecture of trust and mistrust was created to avoid a nuclear war. This is the whole philosophy of international relations, which is very thoughtful and deep. Everything is broken today,” he said, adding that “there is an impressive generation of incompetent people who are acting in a harmful way.”

    P. Pellegrini, in turn, stated that neither of the two leaders believes that further military support will end the war in Ukraine, since it is impossible to defeat a nuclear power like Russia using military means.

    P. Pellegrini stressed that NATO and the United States must find a common language with Russia on the issue of whether they can stop hostilities and agree on a post-war settlement of the situation in Ukraine.

    He called on EU leaders, including Italian Prime Minister Giorgio Meloni and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, to enter into talks with Moscow and find a negotiated solution.

    P. Pellegrini arrived in Croatia on Monday for an official visit. That same day, he and Z. Milanovic discussed bilateral economic cooperation, regional security and preparations for the next NATO summit. –0–

    HAIKOU, July 2 (Xinhua) — South China’s island province of Hainan on Tuesday launched a campaign to promote summer tourism, providing 40 million yuan (about 5.59 million U.S. dollars) in subsidies to spur consumption during the tourist season, local authorities said.

    According to the Hainan Provincial Department of Tourism, Culture, Radio, Television and Sports, the campaign will run from July to September and will provide targeted subsidies for travel to and from the province, accommodation, meals, and tickets to tourist attractions.

    Tourists can upload receipts to prove their spending on dedicated online platforms. Subsidized funds ranging from 150 to 3,060 yuan will be returned directly to travelers’ personal bank accounts.

    This summer, Hainan is expected to host more than 100 cultural, tourism and sports events, including festivals, live performances and sports competitions, showcasing the island’s diverse charms.

    Hainan Island, famous for its year-round sunshine and pristine beaches, is looking to revitalize its tourism industry. China aims to turn the province into a global tourist and consumer destination by 2035.

    By the end of 2024, Hainan’s total tourist flow, including both domestic and foreign tourists, exceeded 97.2 million person-times, up 8 percent from the previous year. According to official data from the above-mentioned department, total tourism spending in the province last year increased by 12.5 percent, reaching 204 billion yuan.

    The province is expected to receive more than 100 million tourists, both domestic and international, this year.

    As part of its broader economic strategy, China is turning Hainan into a free trade port. With Hainan set to begin independent customs operations by the end of the year, the province is poised to become not only a tourist haven but also a key gateway to China’s opening up. -0-

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Giant LED screens assembled using unique modular technology have been installed in the NSU flow auditorium building

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Novosibirsk State University – Novosibirsk State University –

    In the building of the NSU flow auditoriums, which is related to the objects of the second stage of the new NSU campus, built within the framework of the national project “Youth and Children”, real giants among LED screens have appeared. These huge screens measuring 7.4 by 4.64 m are assembled using modular technology. NSU will become the only university in the Novosibirsk region, where such equipment is used for educational purposes.

    There are five such screens in the new building: four in the flow classrooms and one in the conference hall. They not only complement the educational process, but also improve it, taking the image quality to a fundamentally new level. LED screens will replace the traditional lamp projectors that are installed in the flow classrooms of the current NSU educational building.

    Marina Shashkova, Head of the Academic Policy Department at NSU, notes:

    — Based on the infrastructure of the new campus, we create comfortable conditions for students to study and work on projects. Providing them with modern equipment is an important element for fulfilling this task.

    LED screens are not only high-quality images, but also reliable and durable, as their service life is 100 thousand hours. Each of these screens is 638 modules combined into a single whole. They are easy to maintain, and if necessary, only the damaged module can be replaced without affecting the entire structure. This reduces repair costs and equipment downtime. Delivery, installation and warranty support were carried out by the Novosibirsk integrator company IVERT.

    Thus, the new building of the NSU campus becomes not just a place for obtaining knowledge, but also a platform for modern technological solutions and innovations. LED screens are just one example of how technologies can improve the educational process. Like living canvases, they bring a fresh stream to lectures and presentations, making them brighter and more memorable.

    The total area of the NSU flow auditorium building is 16 thousand square meters, permission to put the facility into operation was received in December 2024, and work is currently underway to equip it with furniture and technical equipment. Classes in the new building will begin in September 2025.

  • Quad ministers demand bringing Pahalgam terrorists to justice, renew commitment to counterterrorism

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Renewing their commitment to work together to fight terrorism, the Quad foreign ministers on Tuesday demanded that all those responsible for the “reprehensible” Pahalgam terror attack be immediately brought to justice and countries concerned cooperate with the authorities.

    In a joint statement after their meeting on Tuesday, they said, “We call for the perpetrators, organisers, and financiers of this reprehensible act to be brought to justice without any delay and urge all UN Member States, in accordance with their obligations under international law and relevant UNSCRs (Security Council Resolutions), to cooperate actively with all relevant authorities in this regard.”

    “The Quad unequivocally condemns all acts of terrorism and violent extremism in all its forms and manifestations, including cross-border terrorism, and renews our commitment to counterterrorism cooperation,” the statement said.

    External Affairs Minister (EAM) S. Jaishankar, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Foreign Ministers Penny Wong of Australia and Takeshi Iwaya of Japan representing the major democracies of the Indo-Pacific region met for their second ministerial meeting of the year.

    They said, “We condemn in the strongest terms the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 22, 2025, which claimed the lives of 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen, while injuring several others. We express our deepest condolences to the families of the victims and extend our heartfelt wishes for a swift and full recovery to all those injured.”

    The statement did not name any country while calling for bringing the perpetrators of the massacre to justice, but the nation was obvious because The Resistance Front, which carried out the attack, is an arm of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, which is sheltered by Pakistan.

    Before the ministers met, Jaishankar said, “India has every right to defend its people against terrorism, and we will exercise that right.”

    “We expect our quad partners to understand and appreciate that,” he emphasised.

    The top diplomats said they looked forward to the Quad summit to be hosted later this year by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which will be attended by US President Donald Trump and Prime Ministers Anthony Albanese of Australia and Shigeru Ishiba of Japan.

    The ministers said that they “plan to launch the Quad Ports of the Future Partnership in Mumbai this year.”

    “To ensure the Quad’s enduring impact, we are pleased to announce today a new, ambitious, and strong agenda focused on four key areas: maritime and transnational security, economic prosperity and security, critical and emerging technology, and humanitarian assistance and emergency response. Through this renewed focus, we will sharpen the Quad’s ability to leverage our resources to address the region’s most pressing challenges,” the ministers added.

    The four areas are maritime and transnational security, economic prosperity and security, critical and emerging technology, and humanitarian assistance and emergency response.

    While their joint statement repeatedly spoke of threats to countries in the region from the use of force and coercion by China, they did not name it.

    “We remain seriously concerned about the situation in the East China Sea and South China Sea. We reiterate our strong opposition to any unilateral actions that seek to change the status quo by force or coercion. We express our serious concerns regarding dangerous and provocative actions, including interference with offshore resource development, the repeated obstruction of the freedoms of navigation and overflight, and the dangerous maneuvers by military aircraft and coast guard and maritime militia vessels, especially the unsafe use of water cannons and ramming or blocking actions in the South China Sea,” said the joint statement.

    While China was not mentioned, it had carried out all those actions against the Philippines, Vietnam, and South Korea, and it has been involved in disputes with Malaysia over offshore oil drilling.

    “These actions threaten peace and stability in the region”, they said. “We are seriously concerned by the militarisation of disputed features.”

    The ministers expressed concern over the disruptions to the supply chain, particularly of critical minerals and said it was important to diversify supplies.

    They announced a concrete measure to deal with this problem: “We are launching today the Quad Critical Minerals Initiative, an ambitious expansion of our partnership to strengthen economic security and collective resilience by collaborating to secure and diversify critical minerals supply chains.”

    To strengthen the Quad’s ability to carry out relief in natural disasters – a mission that gave initial shape to the group – the ministers said they plan to host the first Quad Indo-Pacific Logistics Network field training exercise this year.

    It aims “to strengthen shared airlift capacity and leverage our collective logistics strengths to respond to natural disasters more rapidly and efficiently, providing support for regional partners,” the statement said.

    They condemned North Korea’s missile and nuclear weapons programmes and demanded that it follow United Nations Security Council resolutions and end them.

    They also expressed “grave concern over North Korea’s malicious cyber activity, including cryptocurrency theft and use of workers abroad to fund North Korea’s unlawful weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs.”

    Pyongyang has sent its citizens to fight on behalf of Russia in Ukraine.

    Closer to home, the ministers said they were “deeply concerned by the worsening crisis in Myanmar and its impact on the region.”

    They called on the military regime and all groups involved “to implement, extend and broaden ceasefire measures.”

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Oil, Watercolor and Gallic: Participants of the Art in the Metro Project Talk Creativity and Inspiration

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    The Moscow metro is not only a popular means of public transport, but also a cultural venue for talented Muscovites. The project has been underway in the capital for nine years now “Music in the Metro”, and recently another project for creative people – “Art in the Metro”— celebrated its first anniversary. It united more than 250 artists working in different genres and techniques, who can create paintings at 10 sites at metro stations, as well as take part in off-site events and even try their hand at creating a new design for the Troika card. The second season of the project is currently underway, and the recruitment of artists continues.

    A mos.ru correspondent spoke with the participants of the “Art in the Metro” project and found out how they are inspired by the architecture of the stations and passengers rushing about their business.

    Pandas on Michurinsky Prospekt

    Artist Yulia Ershova painted a passenger reading enthusiastically in a train car, sculptures of Romulus and Remus at the Rimskaya station, and flying seagulls on the ceiling of Mayakovskaya on the Zamoskvoretskaya Line. Another of her paintings depicts three pandas chewing bamboo at the Michurinsky Prospekt station on the Big Circle Line (BCL).

    “This is my favorite station. It is decorated in an oriental style: it has red columns and lamps with Chinese ornaments. I thought, what can you imagine in such an environment? Why not put pandas there, who came to

    Moscow Zoo from China? Now this painting can be seen at the exhibition “Red” in the gallery of the creative association “Artists of Chertanovo”, – says Yulia Ershova.

    She learned about “Art in the Metro” from her artist friends who got into the project during the first recruitment, successfully passed the in-person round and created about 30 works in a year. Yulia Ershova prefers to work in oil, but when she needs to make a quick sketch, she takes up watercolor.

    “The artist’s mission is to draw people’s attention to beauty that they may not notice in the rhythm of a big city. I remember a passenger on the Aminyevskaya BKL saw my work on an easel and at first could not understand where such beauty came from. And then she recognized the station ceiling. She often rides here, but did not notice how unusual it is, and now she looked up for the first time,” says Yulia Ershova.

    This season she continues to participate in the project. “The metro is interesting to draw, and I am glad that I have been given such a unique opportunity to create in this atmosphere,” the mos.ru interlocutor emphasizes.

    “Dostoevskaya” with salt and ink

    Another participant of the last season, Ekaterina Bulgakova, was inspired by the Dostoevskaya metro station of the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line. The artist was struck by its marble slabs. She managed to convey their texture using a special technique.

    “To depict a marble pattern, I first began to combine acrylic paints, watercolors and the author’s technique “gallitika”. It uses ink and salt, which gives beautiful textured streaks. Now I plan to further develop this method of drawing,” says Ekaterina Bulgakova.

    During her year of participation in the project, she created about 20 works. The artist was especially inspired by the BKL stations. In her paintings, she depicted the art object “Moscow Rings”, located at the entrance to “Nizhegorodskaya”, and the interiors of “Khoroshevskaya”.

    “I also dedicated one of my works to passengers. I depicted a stream of people hurrying at the Kitay-Gorod station, wrote down their possible thoughts, and added an old map of the area. It turned out to be a collage. It is impossible to imagine the metro without passengers. People often even came up to watch me draw and asked questions. Someone admitted that they were 20 years old and it was boring to study in their chosen specialty. And someone wanted to learn to draw at 60. I supported them and said that it is not too late to start at any age,” the interviewee notes.

    The artist did not initially plan to engage in creative work either. She received a higher education in economics, then completed an internship with teachers from the Russian State University of Art and Industry named after S.G. Stroganov, graduated from the School of Design of the National Research University Higher School of Economics and began to paint. This year, she is preparing to capture the capital’s metro on canvas again.

    “The metro is developing at a rapid pace, but the new stations are not inferior to the old ones in terms of design. They are incredible. I am grateful to the project organizers for the fact that we can draw here,” shares Ekaterina Bulgakova.

    “Art in the Metro”: the project’s artists worked in a tram depot for the first timeParticipants of the Art in the Metro project depicted stations of the Big Circle LineParticipants of the Art in the Metro project created works of art on digital tablets for the first time

    Walk through the tunnel and trains from different eras

    Project participant Ekaterina Gavrilova also considers the metro an invaluable source of ideas for paintings. The artist is fascinated by the architecture of the last century, so she is especially inspired by the very first stations and their design.

    “The main goal of the Art in the Metro project is to draw people’s attention to what surrounds them every day. For example, you can take a closer look at the doors of the Oktyabrskaya metro station. Every detail in their patterns is thought out, forming a single composition,” says Ekaterina Gavrilova.

    The interviewee of mos.ru has been drawing since childhood and was inspired by the works of Isaac Levitan, so she entered the Russian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture of Ilya Glazunov and successfully graduated from it. Ekaterina Gavrilova has been participating in the project since its inception. In the metro, she has created more than 20 works in a realistic style with elements of minimalism. Most of all, she liked to draw at the Komsomolskaya, Park Kultury and Taganskaya stations of the Circle Line, as well as at Kievskaya on the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line.

    “Thanks to the project, we didn’t just go down to the metro to draw, but went to interesting and unusual events. One night, we visited the tunnel of the Shelepikha station of the Big Circle Line (the Delovoy Tsentr – Shelepikha – Khoroshevskaya section of the Big Circle Line has been temporarily closed since June 22. – Note from mos.ru). We had a couple of hours after the contact rail was disconnected. Under the supervision of the shift supervisor, we walked through the tunnel. In addition, I attended an event at the Izmailovo depot. There, I created a painting called “Two Epochs”, where trains from the last century and our time stand side by side,” recalls artist Ekaterina Gavrilova.

    In her work, she uses not only oil, but also watercolour markers, tempera and gouache. She likes to experiment. For example, the artist depicted the Maryina Roshcha BKL station digitally – on a tablet, since she considers the space itself futuristic. And while working at Kievskaya, Ekaterina Gavrilova noticed two city women enthusiastically talking to each other. This scene formed the basis for the work “Morning News”.

    “The lobby of the Kyiv station is an atrium space framed by Corinthian capitals in a semicircle. The architects’ concept is a place for a temporary break from the road and meetings. The interior is pompous: columns, mosaics, gold. I think the space itself suggested the plot to me. The most wonderful thing in such walls is to engage in creativity. And passengers feel it. That is why the projects “Art in the Metro” and “Music in the Metro” have so many viewers,” the mos.ru interlocutor notes.

    Engage passengers in creativity

    Nikolay Bazunov also took part in the first season of the project. He found inspiration in metro trains.

    “I like the design of rolling stock from the 1940s to 1970s, which is attractive in its simplicity – smooth lines, round headlights. Thanks to my participation in the “Art in the Metro” project, I visited the Severnoye and Izmailovo depots, where I drew historical trains. I even managed to sit in the driver’s cabin of a retro train that runs on the Sokolnicheskaya line,” the artist says.

    Nikolay Bazunov associates the metro with the Great Patriotic War and memories of his relatives. During the bombing, his grandmother and mother hid at the Mayakovskaya station. The artist found a black-and-white photograph taken in 1941 and painted a picture for the anniversary of the Great Victory, where he depicted Muscovites hiding in the metro.

    “There is an interesting incident connected with this work. I was painting it at the Park Kultury station and stepped away for five minutes. I came back and there was a girl standing next to the painting and trying to make the image lighter with my brush. She explained that she found the work gloomy. And I smiled,” recalls Nikolai Bazunov.

    The artist prefers to work with oil on canvas. He compares his work to a musician’s performance. The palette is a turntable with discs, like a DJ’s, the brush is a conductor’s baton. While working, Nikolai Bazunov stands with his back to the passengers so that they can see his painting and express their opinion.

    “I have been participating in the Art in the Metro project since its inception, and have painted about 10 works. This season, I have joined it again not only as a participant, but also as a jury member. I help select artists. It is important to me that a person finds himself in the project, that he finds it interesting, that he can enjoy creativity and inspire others with his example,” emphasizes Nikolai Bazunov.

    This year he plans to paint a series of pictures based on a series of science fiction novels about the metro.

    The recruitment of artists for the second season of the project “Art in the Metro” is ongoing. To become a participant, you need to apply towebsite. The selection of finalists is carried out by an expert commission with the participation of representatives of the capital Department of Transport and Development of Road Transport Infrastructure and associations “Exhibition halls of Moscow”.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Territory of reasonable decisions: how Muscovites are helped to improve their financial literacy

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    The popularity of educational projects on financial literacy is growing in the capital. Master classes, games, quizzes, film lectures and other interactive activities help city residents of all ages understand financial issues. The events are held by the capital’s Department of Finance together with the financial literacy center and partners.

    “We talk to Muscovites about finances where it is convenient for them and in a way that interests them: in schools and universities, libraries, festivals and parks. In 2024 alone, over 560 events of various formats were held in the capital. And this year there will be even more. It is important that Muscovites receive not only new knowledge, but also practical skills: they learn to handle money wisely and make thoughtful financial decisions,” she noted.

    Elena Zyabbarova, Minister of the Moscow Government, head of the capital’s Department of Finance.

    The meetings go beyond the usual spaces and are already becoming part of the urban environment. Thus, this summer, financial literacy days were held at the Northern and Southern river terminals – these are new city platforms for such conversations.

    Another major event is Festival of financial literacy and entrepreneurial culture in Moscow. It has been held since 2017 by the capital’s departments of finance, education and science, as well as the Bank of Russia, and has become a traditional city educational event for city residents of all ages who want to improve their level of financial literacy and learn the basics of entrepreneurship. Last year, the festival lasted a whole week and covered more than 200 sites, including the Moscow Center for Education Quality, schools, colleges, universities, Moscow Longevity Centers, My Work and My Career employment centers, libraries and the Digital Business Space. More than 500 thousand people took part in online and offline events. This coming autumn, the festival will return with a rich program.

    Classes to improve financial literacy are integrated into major events and festivals, including Biblionight, Night at the Museum, and Red Square. Most often, city residents are interested in how to avoid being scammed, invest, and plan their personal budget.

    Modern formats make such events more lively and exciting. In 2024, a financial stand-up and a VR simulator appeared, with the help of which you can practice your personal finance management skills.

    Financial Literacy in Libraries

    For more than two years now, thematic meetings have been held for residents of the capital near their homes. As part of the project “ABCs of Financial Literacy”, which covers all age groups, lectures, business games, film lectures and other events are organized in Moscow libraries.

    City residents discuss familiar life situations with experts, including how to plan a family budget, what to consider when applying for a loan, and how not to become a victim of fraudsters. Event announcements can be found on social networks and city library websites.

    Name for the project Muscovites themselves chose. More than 170 thousand people took part in the voting on the Active Citizen platform.

    Financial Literacy in Film

    One of the most original formats is film lectures in Moscow cinemas. This is an unusual way to involve city residents in managing their personal finances, even if they have not been seriously interested in this before.

    Together with experts, viewers watch famous Soviet and Russian films, including “Courier”, “Moneychangers”, “Russian Money”, “Domovoy”, “Family Budget”. And then they analyze the behavior of the characters from the point of view of financial literacy: what went wrong, and could it have been done differently?

    Soviet films raise topics that remain relevant today, they are simply presented through the prism of modern realities. For example, the film “Beware of the Car” raises questions about car insurance.

    The project is being implemented with the support of the Moskino cinema chain and Department of Culture of Moscow.

    Financial Literacy at Work

    The rhythm of the metropolis does not always leave time for self-education, so a project for financial education of employees of work collectives has appeared in Moscow. Organizations can invite experts to conduct lectures and master classes directly at workplaces – offline or online. All events are free, and the topic can be chosen depending on the request of employees.

    The focus is most often on cybersecurity, personal budget management, consumer protection, investment basics, taxation and lending. Listeners can choose from interactive lectures, master classes, financial quizzes and case studies.

    You can determine the topic, format and time of classes, as well as sign up for the waiting list by link.

    Financial Literacy for Children and Youth

    The upbringing of a financially literate person begins at an early age. Thematic classes and events with elements of financial literacy are organized by Department of Education and Science of the City of MoscowIn addition, children can take part in Olympiads and quizzes, quizzes and quests, meet with representatives of large Russian companies and attend lessons taught by representatives of the Federal Financial Monitoring Service (Rosfinmonitoring).

    The capital’s Department of Finance is implementing several projects on financial literacy for children and young people. Kindergartens regularly host events for preschoolers, schools host open lessons on financial and budget literacy, and children’s city camps host interactive classes during the holidays. Starting this year, they can be visited not only in the summer, but also in the spring and fall. Primary school students will learn about the origin of funds, rules for financial security and rational purchases, and will also create a model of their bank card and take part in a quiz.

    Experts can also be invited to colleges and universities. Heads of educational institutions choose what will really interest students, including quizzes, educational lectures or cartoons on financial topics. Questions related to budget planning, the history of money, financial security and lending remain popular with young people. You can send an application to link.

    Separate tracks for children’s audiences were also provided at citywide events. While adults listen to lectures on smart family budget planning, children can play the tactile game “Guess What?”, analyze the financial behavior of popular cartoon characters, or take part in the quiz “Secrets of Financial Security.”

    Financial Literacy for the Older Generation

    Older city residents actively participate in educational events with experts, which take place in Moscow longevity centers, libraries and other venues, as well as at major festivals. Muscovites of the “silver” age learn how to make purchases on the Internet, protect personal data and avoid spontaneous spending.

    Experts also talk about aspects of inheritance law in Russia, forms of wills and the specifics of drafting them. It is important that listeners can get answers to their questions on the spot and analyze their personal financial situations.

    In addition, the Moscow Longevity project offers regular classes on financial and legal literacy. The course programs are designed to take into account the interests of the older audience. You can find out more at the Moscow Longevity Centers and on the portal Mos.ru.

    Financial Literacy for People with Disabilities

    Special attention is paid to financial education of citizens with disabilities. Muscovites with visual impairments will be able to attend lectures at the Russian State Library for the Blind and listen to educational programs recorded by the Department of Finance on Internet radio. People with hearing impairments have the opportunity to access educational videos with sign language interpretation. This allows us to cover all segments of the population and create a truly inclusive educational environment.

    Tax deductions and banking products: Moscow launches financial literacy project for the visually impairedMoscow projects to improve financial literacy are recognized as the best in Russia

    Financial literacy in new formats

    Technology is an important component of educational formats. In 2024, an updated version of the financial checkup was presented – an online test that helps assess your knowledge. More than 4.3 thousand people took it. This can be done at any time by linkBy answering a few questions, everyone will find out their level of financial literacy and receive personal recommendations and links to useful materials for further self-education.

    The VR simulator is no less popular. Participants get the opportunity to immerse themselves in a virtual space, where they try themselves in the role of a tax consultant or bank employee and make important decisions on loans and tax deductions. You can practice budget management skills at the events of the Department of Finance.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Experts talk about city projects for pets

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    On International Dog Day, which is celebrated on July 2, experts from the Department of Information Technology and the Veterinary Committee of the capital told about city projects for pets, and also prepared a number of useful recommendations that will come in handy in the summer.

    “The capital is developing an ecosystem of services and digital projects for pets, thanks to which owners can take care of the health of their pets, make appointments with veterinarians at state clinics, learn more about nearby dog parks and rules for walking in public places. For example, on the page of the super service “My Pet” you can study the recommendations of veterinarians on the proper care and responsible keeping of pets, view the outpatient card of your pet with dates and information about the results of appointments, prescriptions and vaccinations,” the press service said.

    Department of Information Technology of the City of Moscow.

    Summer is a special time for dogs and their owners. This is the time when you can run through the forest, swim in ponds, explore the corners of the city with your four-legged friend. However, it is very important to take into account the weather conditions and the characteristics of your pets. In the heat, they can become dehydrated and even suffer from sunstroke. In such weather, the animal should have access to drinking water, but you should not wet the dog’s head and back – this can cause overheating, because the fur protects the pet, and when water gets in, the sun’s rays instantly warm it up to the skin. You can wet the dog’s nose and lower part with water: armpits, stomach and paws.

    Veterinarians also do not recommend cutting the animal, unless it is provided for by the breed characteristics. The coat performs an important function of thermoregulation: it creates an air layer that helps the dog to stay cool and protects the skin from the harmful effects of sunlight, preventing sunburn and the development of skin diseases. Experts recommend combing the undercoat of pets more often in hot weather, reducing physical activity and changing the walking schedule so that the animal is in the sun as little as possible. And if the summer is cool, then after cutting some dogs may begin to freeze and even catch a cold.

    Treatment against ticks and other parasites is another important point that must be taken into account before a walk in the park, forest or going out into nature. These can be collars impregnated with a special composition, drops on the withers or tablets for oral administration.

    “Not a single antiparasitic agent can guarantee complete protection against ticks. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly examine your pet during a walk, as well as after it, to make sure that there are no parasites in the fur and on the skin. Finding the pest can be difficult, especially on a thick-haired dog or cat, but you should not neglect this. If you find a tick, you should remove it yourself or seek help from a veterinary clinic,” the press service of the Moscow City Veterinary Committee noted.

    You can study veterinarians’ advice on keeping and caring for animals and view your pet’s outpatient card in the super service “My pet”.

    If the animal feels unwell, refuses to eat, and its activity has sharply decreased, it is necessary to contact a veterinarian. You can call him at home by phone: 7 495 612-12-12.

    You can find out more about the rules for walking pets, as well as view a map with the addresses of specialized sites in all areas of the capital on the special project page “To the park – with the dog” on the mos.ru portal.

    Many public spaces, cafes and shops in the capital allow visiting with a pet. If the owner plans to explore new corners of the city with their four-legged companion, it is important to remember that the collar or harness should have an address tag with the owner’s phone number and contact information. The presence of a microchip, which is installed in clinics, will also help find the animal if it gets lost. If the pet runs away during a walk and then ends up in a veterinary clinic or shelter, specialists will read the chip with a scanner, find the owner’s contact information in the database and contact him. The chip is absolutely harmless to animals, and its installation takes only a few minutes. You can make an appointment with a doctor at the nearest state clinic to install a chip at mos.ru portal.

    And within the framework of the capital project “Summer in Moscow” More than 200 events for owners of four-legged friends are planned. They will meet with dog handlers, zoologists and veterinarians. In addition, 10 family and sports festivals “Tailed Starts” will be held during the summer. On weekends, experienced specialists give lectures in an equipped veterinary mobile about the health and maintenance of different breeds of dogs, talk about disease prevention, proper nutrition, the need for regular examinations and vaccinations of pets. There is also a mobile office “Mobile Grooming”, where specialists will carry out a set of procedures for the care of the coat, skin, claws, ears and eyes of dogs free of charge.

    The super service “My Pet” began operating in the summer of 2023. It was created jointly by the capital’s State Services Committee, the Veterinary Committee and the Department of Information Technology.

    The use of digital technologies to improve the quality of life of city residents is in line with the objectives of the national program “Digital Economy of the Russian Federation”and the regional project of the city of Moscow “Digital Public Administration”.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Scientists study the biodiversity of water bodies in the Losiny Ostrov National Park

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Large-scale field research continues in the Moscow part of the Losiny Ostrov National Park. Specialists are studying the ecological and recreational state of the Kazenny Pond.

    “Regular environmental research is the basis for competent management of the capital’s natural areas. The city actively supports scientific projects that help track changes in the state of flora and fauna under the influence of humans and climate. This allows us to make effective decisions – not for the short term, but taking into account the future of Moscow as a green, environmentally friendly city,” said Yulia Urozhaeva, head of the capital’s

    Department of Nature Management and Environmental Protection.

    Last year, a unique large-scale ecological and biological survey was conducted in Losiny Ostrov Park, in which more than 80 specialists from five scientific institutes took part. They identified more than 1,500 species of animals and plants, of which over 200 are rare and protected. Based on the survey results, experts gave recommendations for supporting vulnerable animal species. In addition, programs for their conservation and restoration were developed.

    This year, comprehensive studies of the park’s nature continue. In April, a group of scientists, including specialists from the A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution of the Russian Academy of Sciences, began studying the biodiversity of Losiny Ostrov’s water bodies. Experts took samples of phyto- and zooplankton from Babaevsky Pond, as well as benthic organisms living in the soil. Then hydrobiologists took samples of water and bottom sediments in Kazenny Pond, as well as samples of the upper layer of bottom sediments. This is done in order to assess the current ecological and recreational state of the water bodies. It can change under the influence of external factors, which often has a negative impact on biodiversity, since the life cycle of many organisms is directly related to water.

    From frog to newt: what amphibians live in Moscow’s water bodies

    At the next stage, scientists in the laboratory analyze the species composition of two groups of organisms: testate amoebae (benthic organisms living on the bottom) and cladocerans (representatives of plankton). These microorganisms are bioindicators, the presence of which and the structure of their populations can be used to judge the degree of pollution of a reservoir.

    Testate amoebae are particularly sensitive to heavy metals, petroleum products and road salt. Cladocerans respond to the general organic load.

    If plankton shows that the water is relatively clean, and bottom organisms indicate the opposite, this indicates the need for careful and targeted work with bottom sediments, hydrobiologists note.

    Experts also collect cores—deep samples of silt—that allow them to study how the state of the reservoir has changed over the past decades.

    According to scientists, the Kazennyi pond has a high degree of overgrowth, accumulation of organic matter and oxygen deficiency in winter. Such conditions can cause damage to aquatic fauna, so it is necessary to conduct regular monitoring of the reservoir’s condition.

    Based on the data obtained, specialists develop recommendations for improving the condition of the pond. One possible measure is to increase the flow rate, for example by supplying additional volumes of clean water or cleaning the drainage channels. This will reduce the concentration of organic matter and restore the ecosystem. It is also important that the pond is not cleaned once. Without a comprehensive approach and regular monitoring, the pond’s condition may deteriorate in a few years.

    “If you simply clean a reservoir, in 10 years it will be in the same condition again. It is important to improve the functioning of the entire ecosystem – so that aquatic organisms themselves process excess organic matter. This will ensure clean water, sustainable biodiversity and a favorable environment for city residents,” the experts noted.

    The data collected during field work will form the basis for long-term environmental monitoring and the development of solutions for the restoration and maintenance of the capital’s water bodies.

The service helps residents of the capital receive information about department reception schedules, traffic restrictions due to road works, social card replenishment points, and other useful information, including cartographic information.

    The resource can also be used to determine whether the name of the property will use the name of the locality or the number of the city block. In addition, you can find out about its location and connection with localities and municipalities. This data will help application developers integrate information about real estate objects into their own services through API tools.

    The data.mos.ru portal contains more than a thousand data sets and analytical reports, which are available for viewing in catalogs for both users and information systems through a special mechanism for automatic exchange of information – API.

    “You can use the catalog of registered city blocks on the open data portal: the information is posted in the section

    “Territorial division”. There you can also find a collection of materials onarchival elements of the planning structure, which were valid until January 1, 2025.

    MINSK, July 2 (Xinhua) — Independence Day is of fundamental importance for Belarusians, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said at a ceremonial meeting ahead of Independence Day of the Republic of Belarus in Minsk on Tuesday. The corresponding information was published by the press service of the Belarusian head of state on the same day.

    “Independence is a free and peaceful life, security and confidence in the future. This is how we should understand our independence. The Belarusian people remember well what it means to lose all this overnight. And they know what it means to lay down one’s life on the altar of the future of one’s native Fatherland. This has happened more than once in our history. But the date of Minsk’s liberation from the fascist occupation – July 3 – became a milestone. A milestone in the spiritual and civil development of a nation that established its status through fire and blood,” A. Lukashenko noted.

    According to him, the Great Patriotic War, the most inhuman of all wars, turned the consciousness of the entire world community upside down. The head of the Belarusian state noted that the example of Belarus alone, which lost a third of its population in less than three years, including the weakest and most defenseless – women, the elderly and children – divided history into before and after.

    “We continue the history of the unconquered people. The memory of their feat is a matter of national dignity, without which talk of independence, sovereignty, freedom is just words. We rely on real experience and real achievements,” the Belarusian leader said.

    A. Lukashenko recalled that it was on Belarusian soil that the invaders encountered massive and comprehensive resistance, witnessed the unparalleled courage of strong-willed and unbroken people. He also noted that only in Belarus is Independence Day celebrated on par with the Great Victory Day.

    “Because then, in the most critical period, in the most critical moment of the victorious offensive of the Red Army, the day of the liberation of Minsk became the harbinger of the victorious May 9, a symbol of the revival of the Belarusian land and the entire Soviet people. The choice of the date of our main state holiday is historically justified and accepted by the heart of each of us, every Belarusian. This choice is the will not only of us, contemporaries, who could not act otherwise, but of our fathers and grandfathers,” A. Lukashenko emphasized. -0-

    Yesterday, the fourth Summer School started at Novosibirsk State University Humanitarian Institute of NSU. This event is for schoolchildren of grades 8-10. The goal of the school is to provide the children with the opportunity to get acquainted with the humanitarian areas that exist at the university and to help them in the future to choose a future specialty. This year, 157 schoolchildren from different regions of Russia – Novosibirsk, Kemerovo, Irkutsk regions, Altai Krai, as well as from the European part of our country – came to the school.

    The rector of NSU, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Mikhail Fedoruk took part in the grand opening of the school. He told a little about the history of the university and emphasized that the humanities have always played a major role in the development of the university:

    — Our university is classical, and we are proud of it. At NSU, physicists and lyricists coexist and complement each other. And, of course, the humanitarian and social components play a major role at the university. Currently, more than 30% of students studying at NSU have chosen social and humanitarian fields. Of course, we hope that you will also come to our university in two years. I am sure that, having graduated from our Humanitarian Institute, you will become people we will be proud of in the future. I congratulate you on the opening of the school and wish you fruitful work in the coming week.

    At the orientation session after the opening ceremony, the children were told about the School program, organizational issues and rules, and were introduced to the heads of the areas. Each of the six areas – oriental studies, journalism, history and archeology, computer and applied linguistics, linguistics (foreign languages), linguistics and literary studies – has its own separate training program. It includes expert lectures with current NSU teachers, practical and theoretical classes, as well as excursions. On the last day, July 7, the participants will have an intellectual competition, where they will apply the knowledge they have gained during the week. And the children from each area will be able to demonstrate their abilities and present their own projects.

    — Every year the number of participants increases, the geography expands. We keep the main program grid of the summer school from year to year. First of all, these are expert lectures for all participants regardless of the direction. On the first day, we also organize excursions, when the participants get acquainted with the university, with each other, with the heads of the directions. In the following days, various lectures and workshops are held in each of the directions. During the school, the participants prepare their own projects in which they present what they did during the event, what they learned, what they have learned. On the last day, we have an intellectual competition, and the summer school is actually preparation for this final event, — said Yulia Klimanova, executive secretary of the summer school of the Humanities Institute of NSU.

    During the intellectual competition, participants are divided into teams, which are formed from children of different directions. They participate in a quiz, during which they answer questions on the topic of expert presentations. High results in the intellectual competition allow you to get additional points for participation in the summer school.

    Ekaterina Kotlyarova, a 10th grade student, participant in the “Linguistics and Literary Studies” program, Kemerovo, shared why she decided to participate in the school:

    — It seems to me that literature is quite an interesting subject and science in general. And I would like to promote this science so that people pay more attention to it, because now the number of readers interested in literature is decreasing. I learned about the summer school from my friend who went here last year. She really liked it. I looked at the school schedule, the days are busy, I really want to attend lectures, listen to the professors. I am sure that it will be very interesting.

    Based on the results of the summer school, the children who have achieved the highest results are awarded diplomas for 1st, 2nd or 3rd place, and each schoolchild also receives a participant certificate. The winners’ diplomas can be taken into account as individual achievements when applying for training programs at the NSU Humanities Institute; the results can be taken into account two years before admission.

    MINSK, July 2 (Xinhua) — The Communist Party of China (CPC) has been known for its outstanding achievements in its more than century-long history, Sergei Vergeichik, an analyst at the Belarusian Institute for Strategic Studies (BISS), told Xinhua in Minsk.

    “The Communist Party of China is one of the largest and most authoritative political parties in the world. On July 1, 100 million members of the CPC, devoted to the ideals of serving their people and the state, celebrate another anniversary of its creation. Over more than a century of history, the CPC is known for its outstanding achievements. In difficult conditions, it managed to satisfy the basic social needs of society: poverty and illiteracy have been eliminated, the population has been provided with housing, jobs have been created, and general food security has been ensured. In general, China has completed the construction of a middle-income society,” the Belarusian analyst notes.

    According to S. Vergeichik, today’s achievements of the PRC are based on maintaining the continuity of historical experience and will determine the sustainability of the development of the Chinese state for years to come. “The CPC does not stop there, continues to lead the implementation and improvement of the policy of reforms and openness, remains true to the original goal and confidently goes at the forefront of the implementation of the historical mission – the great revival of the Chinese nation,” the expert emphasized.

    S. Vergeichik drew attention to the fact that China’s development experience is, without exaggeration, unique in the history of all mankind. “The Chinese path of development is attracting the attention of an increasing number of countries in the world. Belarus is interested in China’s experience. Strong relations of a comprehensive and all-weather strategic partnership, an iron brotherhood are a good example of how mutual trust, assistance and support in the current difficult international conditions allow our countries to maintain stress resistance in the face of global and regional challenges, to strengthen bilateral and multilateral cooperation,” the BISI analyst noted. -0-
