The Blogger Academy program was recognized as the best in the "Blogger Project in IT" category. This free educational course includes master classes on content creation, channel promotion, and audience engagement. The project's goal is to improve the quality of Russian video content.

"RUTUBE values its creators and strives to help them realize their creative ideas. Many talented bloggers fail to reach their audience, giving up halfway through—due to a lack of experience, they get lost in the information space, make mistakes at the start, don't know how to use the platform's functionality, and don't understand how to utilize their strengths. The educational course "Bloggers Academy" was created to help creators find their unique style and audience, and understand how to engage with them."

Egor Velikoglo, Director of Business Development and Authored Content, RUTUBE

Traditionally, the Runet Prize is a key indicator of industry trends. In 2025, projects at the intersection of technology, education, and media skills development received special recognition. RUTUBE's victory underscores the growing demand for training professional content creators.

Its goal is to support initiatives to develop a safe and nurturing online space for children and their families. Gazprom-Media Holding is one of the Alliance's founding members.

The Runet Prize is a national award in the field of high technology and the internet, held since 2004. The prize is awarded to organizations that have made a significant contribution to the development of domestic technologies, contributed to the creation of a trusted digital environment, and facilitated comfortable living conditions for citizens.

The National Center "Russia" hosted the premiere of the animated series "Technolike." The project was created by YARKO with the support of the Institute of Russian Innovative Cultures (IRI). The screening was held for students of the Movement of the First.

"Technolike" is a cyberpunk story about a teenage girl. She and her friends are trying to navigate the digital world and learn how to communicate online. After watching the series, we had a conversation with the project team about how animation can help develop cybersecurity skills in children. Through the series, the teenager experiences the situation alongside the characters and draws their own conclusions. And this is more powerful than dry instructions or any "don'ts" from adults.

Gazprom-Media Holding is a founding member of the Alliance for Child Protection in the Digital Environment, which was established in Russia in 2021.

A cooperation agreement between Gazprom-Media Holding and the Movement of the First was signed in 2023. It became part of the Holding's PROfnavigator project, which helps young people choose a career in the media industry.

The musical comedy topped the Russian box office for December 11-14, grossing 121.8 million rubles*. The film was distributed by Central Partnership (part of Gazprom-Media Holding).

"We made this film from the start with a wide release in mind. We understood that transferring television success to cinema isn't an automatic process. Ticket sales can't be 'transferred' from ratings; they have to be earned. So we didn't create a television special, but a full-fledged cinematic event—with a strong cast, large-scale musical numbers, our signature humor, and a sense of impending celebration."

Tina Kandelaki, Deputy General Director of Gazprom-Media Holding, Director of the TNT TV channel

The plot centers on the incredible love story of Shurik and Nina, transporting viewers into a kaleidoscope of Soviet and world cinema. The leading roles are played by Timur Batrutdinov, Marina Kravets, and Garik Martirosyan.

The film's television premiere on TNT is December 31.

We're truly taking the real village of Prostokvashino under our wing and expanding this universe far beyond the screen. But most importantly, it's a meaningful story.

Since 2022, nearly 5,000 startups with total revenue exceeding 2.8 billion rubles have been registered within the framework of the University Technological Entrepreneurship Platform in Russia, emphasized Russian Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov, welcoming guests and participants of the IV All-Russian Technological Entrepreneurship Forum "TechPred-2025."

"You are, in many ways, shaping the culture of tech entrepreneurship in modern Russia. You maintain a constant dialogue with young people, helping them promote science-intensive startups. Thanks to your coordinated teamwork, nearly 5,000 startups have registered on the platform in three years, with a total revenue of over 2.8 billion rubles."

Valery Falkov, Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation

Speaking at the plenary discussion "The Superposition Principle: Towards a Technological Breakthrough by Combining Efforts," Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Olga Petrova noted:

"The key task we see as the Ministry of Science and Higher Education is to embed a culture of technological entrepreneurship into our educational environment, making it a norm that allows us to build a seamless path from a student's idea to the creation of a multidisciplinary technology center. And here, the strength of our interdepartmental cooperation with the Ministry of Economic Development and the coordinated work of all operators of the 'Technology' federal project are crucial."

Olga Petrova, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation

In turn, First Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Maxim Kolesnikov noted:

Together with our colleagues from the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, we've truly strived to provide all kinds of support—from the most basic stage of student startups to IPOs. And it's gratifying to know that, thanks to our colleagues from Innopraktika, who operate the "Vzlet – From Startup to IPO" program, we've already supported one company through the end of the year to go public. Two companies are also in the process of listing on investment platforms. So, the process has begun, even though we only launched this support program in the middle of this year."

Maxim Kolesnikov, First Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation

This year, the ministries combined initiatives to support technology entrepreneurship and the development of small technology companies—the University Technical Representative Platform of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science and the "Takeoff: From Startup to IPO" program of the Ministry of Economic Development—under the federal project "Technology." These measures are aimed at increasing the number of small technology companies in Russia, increasing their revenue, and engaging in the development of technological sovereignty.

According to Maxim Kolesnikov, the ministry's registry already contains over 6,300 MTCs, and these companies are demonstrating very strong growth rates (an average of 35% per year). Last year, their combined revenue exceeded 1 trillion rubles, and approximately 26,000 intellectual property rights have been registered.

The plenary session was also attended by Rifkat Minnikhanov, President of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan; Dmitry Zauers, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Gazprombank; Viktor Avdeev, Head of the Department of Chemical Engineering and New Materials at Lomonosov Moscow State University; Nikita Shnyrev, General Director of the ANO "Human Capital Development"; and Antony Shvindt, Deputy Head of the Secretariat of the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation and Executive Secretary of the Government Commission for Scientific and Technological Development of Russia.

The All-Russian Forum of Technological Entrepreneurship is the flagship event of the University Technological Entrepreneurship Platform, which became part of the federal "Technology" project of the "Efficient and Competitive Economy" national project in the spring of 2025. The event has been held since 2022 and is the country's leading platform for discussing effective approaches to startup creation, research commercialization, and the development of technological entrepreneurship in Russian universities.

In 2025, the Forum will be organized by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science jointly with the Russian Ministry of Economic Development, with the Moscow Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovative Development serving as a co-organizer. The Republic of Tatarstan will serve as a partner region.
