Moscow's clinics and hospitals have begun decorating for the New Year. This was reported by Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.
"Moscow is gradually transforming for the holidays: streets, squares, and parks are being decorated, and social institutions are not left out. This year, Moscow colleges helped us develop the winter decoration concept for our clinics, hospitals, "My Documents" government service centers, and other facilities. Furthermore, students gave a true gift to the children who will be attending children's clinics by creating and installing beautiful New Year's installations there, including brightly colored trains, drums, nutcrackers, and horses. Today, we are opening the garden at the N.V. Sklifosovsky Hospital, where summer flowers are giving way to New Year's decorations. Beautiful Christmas trees and installations have been installed—everything to create a festive mood. The garden is open to all visitors, so we invite residents and guests of the capital to our New Year's fairy tale. I sincerely hope that Muscovites will enjoy the winter decorations of the city's clinics and hospitals, and that they will be even more enthusiastic about taking care of their health," said Anastasia Rakova.
In addition to the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care, other Moscow hospitals have also been decorated with festive décor. N.I. Pirogov Hospital No. 1 is now home to horses, symbols of the New Year; Filatov Hospital features brightly colored giraffes; and colorful teddy bears will greet patients at the new complex of St. Vladimir Hospital.
The children's clinics also featured 150 sets of unique hand-made installations created by students from Moscow colleges. The work on the toys took over six months. A team of students from various years and disciplines worked at the college's training and production facility, as well as in the carpentry and painting workshops. There, they sketched and drew the designs, assembled, and painted the finished parts. The pieces were crafted on modern CNC machines, as well as universal lathes and milling machines. The new "Center" practical training facility, which opened at the college in the spring of 2025, was used for this work.
"For our students, this project was an opportunity to do something important for the city. Together with their mentors, the students developed designs, created drawings and 3D models, and calculated the strength of the components. They then carved the wooden figures, sanded them, painted them, and assembled them by hand. Each participant contributed their own ideas and professional skills. The result is installations that can be played with and photographed. We hope this initiative will become a New Year's tradition," noted Ivan Stepanov, Director of the Likhachev Moscow Technological College.
Ivan Vlasov and Vladislav Tsarev, third- and fourth-year students, developed the drawings and 3D model of the tree. Second-year students Alexander Ishutin and Daniil Beschetnov cut the wooden figures, sanded them, and adjusted them. Second-year student Evgeny Alekseev and first-year students Artem Erastov and Denis Zhabin painted the pieces and assembled them.
Christmas trees have been decorated and festive garlands have been hung in adult clinics. In addition, patients in both children's and adult clinics can see festive art objects—golden teddy bears with candy and bows. This image is traditionally associated with the holiday and evokes warm memories.
The facades of women's health centers are also adorned with garlands featuring themed animations. Large ice sculptures with frozen flowers illuminated from within stand in front of the building, resembling a fragile winter garden. The main focal point is a large sphere resembling a diamond, with frozen flowers hidden inside. The main idea behind the design is to combine the tranquility of winter with a caring attitude toward health.
The Sklifosovsky Research Institute's Gratitude to Doctors and Medicine Garden has already been decorated with fir trees, sparkling baubles, and crystals. The new complex of the St. Vladimir Children's City Clinical Hospital now features colorful teddy bears and digital screens with warm messages for doctors, patients, and medical staff.
Festive installations will soon adorn other social infrastructure facilities, such as the My Documents government service centers and Wedding Palace No. 4.
