During his working visit to Primorsky Krai, Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District Yury Trutnev held a meeting on the status of national projects and projects under the presidential Far Eastern unified subsidy. He met with residents of the Russkiy Innovation Science and Technology Center, who presented their projects in the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields, and discussed patriotic education with students of the Far Eastern Federal University.
"Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has set us the goal of achieving a steady improvement in the quality of life in the regions of the Far East to a level above the Russian average. This work must be carried out regardless of the situation in the country. Schools and hospitals must be built, new kindergartens and stadiums must open, and roads must be renovated. Every project being built in the Far East addresses specific challenges in improving people's quality of life and developing the social sphere. I ask the Governor of Primorsky Krai and federal ministries to pay attention to the current status of work in this area," Yuri Trutnev opened the meeting.
In 2025, work under national projects is underway at 107 facilities in the Far Eastern Federal District. In Primorsky Krai, 12 facilities are to be built and commissioned, and 89 facilities are to be renovated.
The pace and quality of work on the projects under construction were discussed. Attention was drawn to the development of design and estimate documentation, and it was noted that the timely commissioning of the projects is a key priority for joint work at both the regional and federal levels.
Using funds from the presidential Far Eastern unified subsidy, provided from the federal budget through the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East, 11 social infrastructure projects are scheduled to be completed in Primorye this year. Four projects have already been completed: a sports and fitness center has been commissioned in Nakhodka, a school gymnasium has been installed in Partizansk, 65 modern workshops have been created, and a project within the Patriotic Priority Development Area (PRA) has been implemented. Work is ongoing on seven projects scheduled for completion by the end of 2025.
From 2018 to October 30, 2025, a total of 35 social and engineering infrastructure facilities were built using funds from the presidential Far Eastern unified subsidy (2 clinics, 8 first-aid posts, a 600-child school, 2 kindergartens (with 470 children), 7 school gyms, 5 sports facilities and 3 sports grounds, 5 cultural facilities, and 2 transport infrastructure facilities). In addition, 58 social facilities were renovated, 300 public spaces and 400 courtyards were improved, rental housing for Zvezda SC employees (756 apartments) was built (purchased), equipment was purchased for 77 social institutions, 101 workshops were created, and 143 units of specialized transport were purchased. The projects were implemented in the Patriotic Priority Development Area (2023, 2024–2025).
The discussion focused on interactions with construction organizations under the federal law "On the contract system in the procurement of goods, works, and services for state and municipal needs." Yuri Trutnev instructed the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East, in conjunction with Primorsky Krai, to submit proposals for adjusting the selection process for companies involved in projects under national projects and the presidential Far Eastern unified subsidy.
Yuri Trutnev also instructed the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East to strengthen its focus on ensuring that work on national projects and the presidential Far Eastern unified subsidy meets the approved schedule.
The progress of a large-scale project to build a satellite city of Vladivostok was reviewed. The project aims to create a comfortable, well-maintained, and safe living environment for approximately 200,000 people in the Vladivostok suburbs. Work is currently ongoing to provide infrastructure for the Zapadnaya site and other sites, including electricity and gas supplies. Utility network design is underway. Attracting investors for the first phase of the project was discussed. Specifically, proposals were presented for the creation of recreational, sports, business, and housing facilities on the De-Friz site, totaling up to 450,000–500,000 square meters. The progress of the DNS City project, one of the largest private integrated development projects in Primorsky Krai, was also assessed. On a 125-hectare site, the DNS Development group of companies will build 650,000 square meters of comfortable housing with high-quality amenities.
That same day, Yuri Trutnev held a working meeting with residents of the Russkiy Innovation Science and Technology Center, who presented their projects in the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields.
Developments in pharmaceuticals and the creation of medical drugs, projects in the field of plant-based biotechnology, and others were presented.
Following the meeting, Elena Kharisova, CEO of the Russkiy Scientific and Technical Center Development Fund, noted that the Deputy Prime Minister's visit and project presentation symbolized the center's transition from the project stage to actual operations. "The Russkiy Scientific and Technical Center's primary value lies in its practical results. We focus our resources on ensuring innovations are transferred to industry, creating jobs and fostering the growth of new companies. This is a practical model for Russia's technological development, where results are measured in specific products, patents, and the economic impact on the region," she added.
According to Boris Korobets, Rector of the Far Eastern Federal University, the university's participation in the development of the ISTC is fostering a new model of collaboration between science and industry in the Far East: "Today, technological universities are becoming the core of new industries. The link between science and business is important not only for creating technologies but also for transforming education itself. Our task is to develop scientific results and transform them into new knowledge, products, and training practices. Without people possessing relevant competencies, no technology will work—that's why on Russky Island we are building a model where research, education, and industrial cooperation form a unified development framework."
"The technological development of the Far East must be strengthened. Today, the world is in a transition to a different order. New, modern energy sources and materials are emerging, and work is underway to create microelectronic components with entirely new operating principles. This is a very important development, one that is, in essence, transforming the world. And we cannot remain on the sidelines. We still have much to do. The construction of the Scientific and Technical Center is good, but it's not about the walls. We can build wonderful walls, but the most important thing is who will work within these walls and what will be created there. I would refrain from any triumphant statements for now. Much remains to be done," emphasized Yuri Trutnev.
The Deputy Prime Minister also held a meeting with FEFU students. Representatives of the university's leading patriotic associations participated, sharing their initiatives being implemented in the Far East and beyond.
Volunteers from the Primorsky Regional Branch of the All-Russian Student Rescue Corps spoke about their work in the humanitarian mission zone and the "School of Humanitarian Missions" project, created at FEFU. Activists from the "Volunteer Medics" movement described their work assisting special military operation soldiers during their rehabilitation, as well as their preventative campaigns aimed at developing a culture of health and mutual aid. Members of the HistEast historical association shared the results of the annual "Rzhev – Far East" Memory Watch, during which students participate in the search and reburial of WWII soldiers. Activists from the FEFU Student Media Center discussed their patriotic media projects dedicated to modern-day heroes and participants of the SVO and presented new plans for developing documentary formats aimed at preserving historical memory.
FEFU currently has 14 patriotic student associations, which actively support the families of SVO participants and collect humanitarian aid. FEFU regularly invites participants of the special military operation to meet with university students as part of the "Out Loud About What's Important" patriotic intensives, as well as events organized by the FEFU "I'm Proud" patriotic club. During the 2024 calendar year, the university held 19 meetings, attended by approximately 20,000 university students.
"We have a very strong volunteer movement. The public organizations represented here today are the result of the joint efforts of the Primorsky Krai Youth Agency, the Far Eastern Federal University, and the students studying here. They travel to liberated territories, deliver humanitarian aid, and conduct tactical medicine and first aid classes in classrooms and schools," noted Primorsky Krai Governor Oleg Kozhemyako.
During the meeting, Yuri Trutnev proposed opening a branch of the "Voin" center for the development of military-sports training and patriotic education of youth in Vladivostok.
Summing up the meeting with students, Yuri Trutnev emphasized the importance of patriotic education of young people for strengthening the country. "It's significant that patriotic associations have been created at the Far Eastern Federal University. I am confident that the word 'patriotism' should permeate all education. This should be a common theme in the upbringing of every young person. When we all love our homeland, it becomes stronger," he said.
