Order No. 3773-r of December 12, 2025
At the President's direction, the Government has developed a program for the preservation of cultural heritage sites of the peoples of Russia, covering the period 2025–2045, and an action plan for its implementation. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed the order approving this document.
The main goal of the new program is to preserve the country's cultural and historical heritage for current and future generations. Its implementation will increase the number of restored historical and cultural monuments and integrate them into economic use.
To achieve this goal, the program includes specific mechanisms. These include subsidies to regions and non-profit organizations for cultural heritage preservation activities, as well as subsidized loans to entrepreneurs for the restoration of such sites. It is expected that at least 1,000 historic buildings will be restored by 2030 using this subsidized instrument, and at least 800 more by 2045. Investors will be able to become property owners, provided they comply with cultural heritage preservation obligations.
The program also includes an inventory of cultural heritage sites included in the state register and in need of restoration. These sites will then be prioritized for economic development, allowing for a precise determination of the funding, resources, and time required to restore them to their proper condition.

Furthermore, it is planned to improve legislation in the area of preserving cultural heritage sites, specifically by eliminating excessive requirements for work, reducing the timeframe for reviewing and approving project documentation and conducting state historical and cultural assessments, creating conditions for the development of human resources, including for the preservation of the Russian school of restoration, and completing work on approving territorial boundaries, protected areas, and urban planning regulations in settlements designated as historic settlements. Furthermore, the development of historic settlements and key settlements should be synchronized with the implementation of the national project "Tourism and Hospitality."
As a result of the program's implementation, the share of restored cultural heritage sites included in the unified register of historical and cultural monuments will increase to 90% by 2045.
