Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko held a meeting with the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media on the implementation of priority digitalization projects for 2025. The Deputy Prime Minister not only highlighted achievements in key areas but also noted changes in the project management approach, which have led to an increase in the planned activity achievement rate (to 99.9%), execution discipline, and project cash flow (to 99.95%).
The development of the government's public services portal and online services has traditionally been a key focus of the government's digitalization efforts. In 2025, special attention was paid to the quality of public services, a process known as reengineering. Over the course of the year, 36 federal "life situations" were added to the portal, and 37 services were transferred to online or proactive delivery. Furthermore, active work on developing biometrics continued: new application scenarios emerged over the year. These include passport-free hotel check-in, age verification when making purchases, and identity verification when applying for SIM cards. Existing biometric services continued to be scaled up, including passport-free service at MFCs and metro fare payment.
Among the key achievements in digitalization, the Deputy Prime Minister also noted the adoption of measures aimed at combating fraud. The foundation for this work was laid by the federal law on combating cyberfraud (No. 41-FZ), adopted in 2025. Furthermore, services for citizens were launched on the Gosuslugi website to protect themselves from fraud. These include self-prohibitions on loans, the ability to check one's credit history and SIM cards, filing a complaint about a malicious resource, and others. Also in 2025, a pilot launch of the Antifraud platform was launched, uniting banks, telecom operators, and government agencies into a single system for the rapid exchange of information on fraudsters. These measures are already showing results: in July 2025, a decrease in the number of registered digital crimes was recorded for the first time. In the first 10 months of last year, the number of cases of online fraud decreased by 10% compared to the same period in 2024.
Another important area of focus was the development of domestic IT solutions. Specifically, grant support for IT projects of small businesses continued (108 projects were supported for a total of 1.2 billion rubles). Grants for the implementation of particularly significant projects within industrial competence centers were also resumed: 49 projects were selected in the second wave, of which 17 received grant co-financing. The development of these IT projects will be completed by the end of 2027. These solutions replace foreign IT products in key economic sectors: from trade and transportation to manufacturing, aircraft construction, and the oil and gas industry.
In 2025, the Government not only implemented almost 100% of the planned activities, but also introduced a new approach to project management:
"To effectively implement all digital transformation projects planned by 2030, it's important not only to monitor progress on assigned tasks but also to think ahead and change the overall project management approach. Much of our work this year has been devoted to this. We've refined the digital project management infrastructure itself. We've developed specific performance criteria, outlined milestones to help track progress, and created dashboards for monitoring task completion online. This gives us the tools to make high-quality and timely management decisions," noted Dmitry Grigorenko.
At the initiative of Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Grigorenko, a new system for managing departmental IT expenses was introduced to strengthen oversight of funding. Now, to receive federal funds for digital transformation, an agency must submit a request to a special IT expense register and obtain approval for expenditures from the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media (responsible for creating and maintaining the register). All allocated IT funds are "colored" and linked to specific projects and results. This is important for decision-making on the allocation and reallocation of IT funds, as well as for preventing their misuse.
Furthermore, the Deputy Prime Minister implemented end-to-end online monitoring of digital projects. Fifteen dashboards were developed and implemented to monitor project implementation and forecast risks. These included a dashboard for monitoring national projects, dashboards for the implementation of departmental and regional digital transformation programs, and a system for monitoring top projects (44 high-priority digitalization projects). A large-scale rollout of the "Governor's Dashboard" was also conducted, with all 89 constituent entities of the Russian Federation now connected.
At the conclusion of the meeting, Dmitry Grigorenko also outlined priority digitalization projects for 2026. These will focus on the implementation of the national project "Data Economy and Digitalization of Public Administration" and the Ministry of Digital Development's top projects, the implementation of departmental digital transformation programs, the development of electronic government services, the MAX messenger, and the GosTech platform.
