Innovative laboratory and research complexes, an atrium and a modern media library – this is how one of the buildings now looks School No. 1770 in the Nagatinsky Zaton area. Updated according to the program "My school" the building opened September 1stIn total, 51 capital schools opened their doors on the first day of autumn after complete reconstruction.

In modern educational spaces, children can realize their talents and master new technologies, because every element, from interior details to classroom equipment, is thought out for the comfort and comprehensive development of children.

"The My School project does not simply change educational spaces, but creates high-quality and technological conditions for learning and creativity. And in the coming years, the program will allow us to bring all schools that are morally and physically outdated into a modern educational form. Today, 100 buildings are already under renovation, which will welcome students in September 2026," she noted.

Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.

mos.ru correspondents visited school No. 1770 and found out what it looked like after the reconstruction.

School of the Future

In the Nagatinsky Zaton district, there are nine buildings of school No. 1770: four for schoolchildren and five for preschoolers. The reconstructed building is located at 56 Nagatinskaya Embankment. More than 800 children from first to 11th grade study here.

The typical school building consists of two multi-level buildings connected by a two-story covered passage. The light façade with turquoise accents looks modern and expressive. The specialists also repaired the roof, all utility lines, replaced windows and doors, installed a ramp and landscaped the school yard. Now it is decorated with pergolas, playgrounds and sports grounds, neatly trimmed lawns and wooden benches.

"At the end of May last year, this building was closed for reconstruction, and students were temporarily transferred to other buildings. Thanks to the redevelopment, additional space appeared, and this year we accepted 180 more students than before. The interior design was done according to the uniform standards of the My School program, the educational space became modern and technological," says the director of school No. 1770, Honored Teacher of Russia Mikhail Goremykin.

Recreation islands and laboratory research complexes

The tour starts from the right four-story building. The first floor is reserved for the elementary school, the second floor is for fourth- and fifth-graders, and the upper floors are for seniors. The teachers lead us along the corridors with suspended ceilings with loft-style acoustic panels and LED lamps. Between the classrooms there are cozy recreation areas with round poufs, armchairs with soundproof soft panels, and sofa houses. To help children spend their leisure time usefully, there are marker boards on the walls. The usual coolers have been replaced with stylish drinking fountains, and drawers with combination locks have been installed for the students' personal belongings.

The dining room on the first floor has changed beyond recognition, it is now a dining hall: arched openings have added light and space. The guys can come here not only for hot lunches, but also for pastries and the legendary pizza, which many graduates remember.

The universal classrooms, located on both sides of the corridor, are equipped with desks and ergonomic chairs that correct posture. Traditional blackboards have been replaced with interactive panels with LED lamps. Now it is possible to conduct foreign language, computer science and natural science lessons in classrooms with transformable partitions. They allow two groups to study simultaneously without interfering with each other.

"The school also has specialized classrooms equipped depending on the profile. And modern laboratory and research complexes equipped with digital and stereoscopic microscopes, 3D printers and all the necessary equipment will allow students to work on their own projects and conduct scientific experiments," says Ekaterina Kuleshova, curator of engineering classes at School No. 1770.

By the start of the school year, the grounds of more than 60 educational institutions in Moscow have been improvedSobyanin presented new digital solutions at the Moscow Electronic School

Universal gyms, machines and constructors

The reconstruction under the city program "My School" takes into account all the details of the modern educational process. The stairs were equipped with multi-level chrome railings, convenient navigation was placed on each floor, and the windowsills in the corridors became wide and functional. Now you can prepare for lessons, read a book or work with a tablet on them.

But the main value of the renovated school is in the equipment of classrooms and the additional educational opportunities that have appeared thanks to this. Thus, the technology room on the first floor has been completely transformed. Now it resembles an engineering laboratory – with voluminous black suitcases on tables with a metal coating and stylish safe-tables.

"From the sets in these suitcases, you can assemble eight types of machines: a lathe, a drilling machine, a grinder, a woodworking machine, a milling machine, and others. And in the boxes by the left wall of the room are metal construction sets for fourth-graders. With their help, children will learn to use basic tools: a screwdriver, pliers, and wrenches," says Nikolai Slepnev, a technology teacher at School No. 1770.

We move to the neighboring three-story building. In addition to classrooms, on the second floor there are gymnastics and sports halls with safe soft walls, non-slip surfaces, basketball hoops and all kinds of equipment – from gymnastics to step platforms.

"The school has been renovated so well, you can't even recognize it! My sister, my eldest son, and I all studied here, and now my daughter Varvara has started third grade. I'm glad they did everything for the children after the reconstruction," says Tatyana Frolova, the mother of a nine-year-old student at School No. 1770.

Lectures on psychology for parents are being held in renovated Moscow schoolsA large educational complex with a sports center will appear in the Moskvorechye-Saburovo district

Atrium and modern media library

The usual assembly hall has been transformed into a multifunctional atrium. Instead of spectator chairs, wide wooden benches of the "amphitheater" type have been installed here, and the stage has been made at the same level with the floor, marking its boundaries with a semicircular curtain. In such a modern space, it is convenient not only to give concerts and show performances, but also to hold seminars, lectures, organize film screenings and other events.

The main pride of the renovated school was the media block, which occupied the entire third floor of the building. It housed two classrooms equipped with modern computers, video cameras, projectors, microphones and other equipment, as well as a spacious media library. For the convenience of students, noise-proof booths resembling telephone booths were installed in it. Each of them has a laptop with Internet access.

According to Irina Marenkova, a teacher in the media class at School No. 1770, future journalists, directors, and presenters can make podcasts, voice over and edit videos, write longreads and posts for social networks here without interference or distracting noise.

"My two sons have entered the first and fifth grades. The impressions of the school are amazing: I myself would like to sit at these desks and study on such equipment. The level of teachers here is appropriate. Children will go to such a school with joy," says Muscovite Maria Chesnokova.

The city-appointed operators will redevelop seven sites under the integrated development of territories (IDT) program in the Western Administrative District. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction Vladimir Efimov.

"In the Western Administrative District of the capital, KRT operators are reorganizing inefficiently used territories with an area of 20.6 hectares. The urban development potential of the sites allocated for redevelopment, located in eight districts, is 552.2 thousand square meters of real estate, including housing, social and public-business infrastructure facilities. As a result, balanced urban spaces will be formed, where people will be able to receive the necessary services and find work near their home," said Vladimir Efimov.

The plots are located in the areas of Dorogomilovo, Novo-Peredelkino, Ramenki, Solntsevo, Troparevo-Nikulino, Prospekt Vernadskogo, Filevsky Park and Fili-Davydkovo. They have well-developed infrastructure, including transport, which makes the projects even more attractive.

"Part of the housing – over 278 thousand square meters – is intended for the implementation of the renovation program. The total area of apartments in new buildings will be 169.8 thousand square meters. This will provide new housing for about 6.9 thousand city residents. In turn, 139.7 thousand "squares" will be the area of educational facilities and public and business infrastructure.

September 3 marks the Day of Military Glory of Russia – a date associated with the victory over militaristic Japan and the end of World War II. Main Archives of Moscow prepared an electronic edition "The Soviet-Japanese War of 1945: Biographies. Documents. Memories. Essays".

"In 2025, it will be 80 years since the defeat of the Kwantung Army and the capitulation of Japan — the events that marked the final stage of World War II. It is important for us not only to record our country's victories, but also to preserve the memory of those who achieved them. The new electronic publication brings together official documents, memoirs of participants in the events, photographs and essays by war correspondents. These materials allow us to feel how great the price of Victory was and to understand the role that Muscovites and other residents of our country played in the defeat of militaristic Japan. We sought to make the book not only a scientific work, but also a source in which the voices of war participants and eyewitness accounts are heard for new generations," said the head of the Main Archives of Moscow

Yaroslav Onopenko.

The publication consists of four sections. The first two are devoted to brief biographical information about the Heroes of the Soviet Union and other Soviet servicemen. The sections are supplemented with photographs of soldiers, excerpts from award sheets, fragments of autobiographies, memoirs and other documents. All of them are collected in thematic collections "Moscow – with care for history", which include materials donated by city residents for eternal storage as part of the eponymous indefinite campaign, and "Heroes of the Soviet Union – Muscovites".

The third section of the book contains a selection of official documents on the main stages of the Soviet-Japanese War, essays by war correspondents, memoirs, texts of television and radio broadcasts, as well as fragments of audio interviews.

The materials include audio recordings of the memories of veterans Oleg and Sergey Pokomkin, as well as cameraman Vladislav Mikosha, who filmed the ceremony of signing the act of surrender of Japan. An important part of the section is information from the capital's party organs about the responses of workers in Moscow and the Moscow region to the events of the war. Many of these materials are published for the first time.

The fourth section is devoted to photo documents from the period of the USSR war with Japan. The publication is supplemented by a brief chronicle of military events and a toponymic dictionary with geographical names as of August-September 1945 and at the present time.

You can find the book in the virtual museum "Moscow – with care for history", in the hall “1941–1945”, section “Media Library”, subsection “Library”.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, the ruling circles of Japan have pursued an aggressive foreign policy, including towards Russia and then towards the USSR. In the second half of the 1930s, the situation in the Far East worsened, armed conflicts broke out twice: in 1938 – on Lake Khasan and in 1939 – on the Khalkhin-Gol River in Mongolia. Despite the signing of a neutrality treaty between the USSR and Japan in Moscow in April 1941, the Soviet leadership, fearing Japanese aggression, continued to keep armed forces numbering more than a million people in the Far East.

In February 1945, at the Yalta Conference, the leaders of the USSR, the USA and Great Britain signed an agreement on the Soviet Union's entry into the war with Japan two to three months after Germany's capitulation. At the same time, preparations began for a military operation in the Far East.

By August 1945, 136,000 railway cars with military personnel, combat equipment and ammunition had been transferred to the Far East and Transbaikalia. The Soviet group numbered about 1.75 million people. It was armed with about 30,000 guns and mortars, more than five thousand tanks and self-propelled artillery units, and over five thousand aircraft.

The overall command of the operation was carried out by the Commander-in-Chief of the Soviet Forces in the Far East, Marshal of the Soviet Union Alexander Vasilevsky. He had under his command the Transbaikal Front under the command of Marshal Rodion Malinovsky, the 1st Far Eastern Front under the command of Marshal Kirill Meretskov, the 2nd Far Eastern Front under the command of General of the Army Maxim Purkayev, as well as the Pacific Fleet under the command of Admiral Ivan Yumashev and the Amur Military Flotilla, led by Rear Admiral Neon Antonov. The activities of the ground forces and the navy were coordinated by the People's Commissar of the USSR Navy, Admiral of the Fleet Nikolai Kuznetsov.

The Soviet troops were confronted by the Kwantung Army, numbering over a million people. The Japanese defensive line stretched for 800 kilometers and consisted of 17 fortified areas with 4.5 thousand permanent fire structures.

On August 8, 1945, the People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs of the USSR Vyacheslav Molotov handed over a statement to the Japanese ambassador in Moscow, which stated that the Soviet Union acceded to the Potsdam Declaration of July 26, 1945, demanding the unconditional surrender of the Japanese armed forces and considered itself to be in a state of war with Japan from August 9.

Early in the morning of August 9, Soviet troops went on the offensive along the entire front line. The Manchurian Strategic Offensive Operation began, as a result of which the main forces of the Kwantung Army were routed by August 14. On this day, Emperor Hirohito issued a rescript on Japan's acceptance of the terms of the Potsdam Declaration and on its surrender. However, military actions continued in various directions until September 1.

As a result of the operation, Soviet troops completely defeated the Kwantung Army and liberated the territories of Northeast China, North Korea, South Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands. On September 2, the act of surrender of Japan was signed in Tokyo Bay. On the same day, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR declared September 3 a national holiday – the day of victory over Japan.

Since the beginning of the year, more than half of the planned projects of the Traffic Management Center (TMC) for re-marking have been implemented.

"Re-marking allows for faster and more comfortable travel without increasing the width of roads, even on highways with heavy traffic. Since the beginning of this year, additional lanes, new directions and U-turns have been installed on 53 sections. On the instructions of Sergei Sobyanin, we continue to improve traffic in the city," said Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry

Maxim Liksutov.

Thanks to the re-marking, traffic conditions are improved without changing the size of the roads: travel time is reduced, safety is increased and excess mileage is reduced.

Since the beginning of the year, 53 improvements have been implemented under the TSODD projects. For example, it was possible to increase the throughput capacity at the exits from the M-4 "Don" highway to the Moscow Ring Road (MKAD) by adding an additional lane. Travel time on this section was reduced from 5-10 minutes to one to three.

Also this year, two new U-turns were made on the Garden Ring before Dubininskaya and Tatarskaya Streets. This reduced the overrun by 1.8–2 kilometers, and travel time by 8–10 minutes.

At least 47 more projects are planned to be completed by the end of 2025. For example, adding lanes on the Third Transport Ring from 1st Setunsky Proezd to the exit onto Komsomolsky Prospekt and on Leningradskoye Shosse towards the region at the exits onto the Moscow Ring Road.

Re-marking reduces the excess width of existing lanes and adds additional lanes, which helps reduce congestion and eliminate bottlenecks. As a result, the capacity of congested areas increases and the average speed of movement increases. In addition, this tool is used to create new directions at intersections and additional U-turns. This creates alternative routes that help drivers get to their destination faster.

Moscow's cultural centers have long gone beyond the usual cultural centers. They are becoming large-scale public spaces where new theatrical forms, educational formats, and projects for different generations are born. "Inspiration", the ZIL Cultural Center, and "Meridian" are three examples of how the city's cultural infrastructure is changing its appearance and learning to speak to residents anew, preserving the best of Soviet traditions and adopting innovative modern experience.

"Inspiration" for the area: the history and architecture of the cinema at its best

The building on Teplostanskaya Upland, where the cultural center operates "Inspiration", opened in 1984 as the Hanoi Cinema (this was the period of the surge of Soviet-Vietnamese friendship). The architect of the project, Yakov Belopolsky, one could say, is the author of the entire district. And the cinema with its advanced technology, curved screen and discotheque became the center of universal attraction.

"Hanoi" was built on the highest point of Moscow. "Belopolsky had an interesting approach: he decided not to artificially level the landscape, but to level the picture by using different-story buildings," says Tatyana Safonova, head of the concert and theater department of the Vdokhnovenie cultural center.

The architecture is a laconic rectangle with columns along the pediment, framed by open galleries. True, the romance of open passages did not last long: the first Moscow cold showed that such solutions lead to the destruction of the facade, and the galleries were glazed.

In the 1990s, the building, like the country, experienced turbulent times: there was a nightclub, a dentist's office, a furniture store. Only in 2008 did it receive the status of a cultural center, and since 2011 it has been called "Inspiration".

The Modernity of "Inspiration": Dozens of Studios and Current Premieres

"We have 69 clubs and studios for children and adults and 14 studios within the framework of "Moscow Longevity". There are studios of architectural modeling, cosplay, Korean language, two circus. There is its own theater – the modern theater of the musical "Endorphin", – lists Tatyana Safonova.

Event program carefully supervises the creative team of "Inspiration". "We decided that we would plan what to show ourselves, and not just rent out halls," notes Tatyana Safonova. "Our task is not only to be commercially successful, but also to develop the area." "Inspiration" has become the platform where you can watch premieres of young directors, performances of modern and unusual formats, for example, in the storytelling genre.

You can buy tickets and register for events using the service "Mosbilet".

One of the calling cards was the competition "School Theatre Marathon" – a unique project in which children's groups work on a professional stage with light and sound. "For us, they are the same participants in the theatrical process… I joke that this is a small "Golden Mask" for schoolchildren," says Tatyana Safonova.

The legendary recording studio also operates here. Iosif Kobzon, Alexander Gradsky, Vladimir Kuzmin, the groups "Krematoriy" and "Murakami" recorded their works there. Now the studio is equipped with the most modern equipment.

The cultural center hosts science shows, festivals (such as Mama-fest and Children-fest), and organizes summer creative residences for schoolchildren. “This is not a camp, but rather a creative club. A program is created, for example, Moscow Detective, when participants study the history of the capital and its secrets, or Ancient Egypt. Children grow microgreens, make cardboard cities, write music, and shoot films,” explains Tatyana Safonova. By the way, autumn and winter residences will be open during school holidays.

The highest point in Moscow sets a high standard, and the Vdokhnovenie cultural center maintains the bar. And the architecture of the 1980s harmonizes with the cultural life of the 21st century.

The History of Meridian: Culture and Space

Center of Culture and Art "Meridian" appeared in 1984 as a departmental Palace of Culture of the Nikolai Pilyugin Research Institute of Automation and Instrumentation. The institute was not just cutting-edge — it was here that control systems for automatic stations that studied the Moon, Mars, and Venus were developed. The Pilyugin team had hundreds of rockets to their credit, including the one that launched Yuri Gagarin into space. The architects of the Palace of Culture decided to emphasize this connection with space: at the entrance there is a bas-relief on a space theme, and in the main foyer there is an intricate panel of marble mosaic depicting an astronaut.

The total area of the building is about 13 thousand square meters. There are two halls inside: a large one with 1148 seats and a small one, which is currently under reconstruction; its capacity will be increased to 333 seats. Lots of light, marble, clear lines, typical of the architecture of the late USSR, the monumental style still gives the space a solemnity.

Modernity: Mahjong club, rock operas and tennis courts

Today, Meridian is not just a concert venue, but a real cultural hub of the southwest of Moscow. Poster is deliberately eclectic and is built in response to audience demand. If previously the emphasis was on private performances and performances by famous artists, now the strategy is shifting towards family and classical formats. "We try to support classical music and classical theatre productions. Although we also have modern ones, such as rock musicals," says Alexander Moskalov, director of the Meridian cultural center. The program includes dozens of concerts and performances – from performances by the State Academic Russian Folk Choir named after M.E. Pyatnitsky and the Beryozka ensemble to original rock operas.

You can buy tickets and register for Meridian events using the service "Mosbilet".

The cultural center pays special attention to the children's program and educational projects, such as "Meridian". Books", "Meridian". Lecture Hall", "Meridian". Tourism. Here you can meet with writers, scientists, travelers and directors, watch art-house films or discuss the history of fashion.

A separate layer – clubs and studios. There are 75 of them in Meridian, where over three thousand people study, from toddlers to pensioners. Among the flagships are the Shkolnye Gody ensemble, which dates back to the 1960s, and the Iskorki studio, where children simultaneously learn music and theater. There is a circus studio, FanArt comics courses, a club for the Chinese intellectual game mahjong, which, as Alexander Moskalov notes, could become the basis for a federation of this sport in Moscow. Meridian has indoor year-round tennis courts, and plans are underway to open a floorball section — hockey on a hard surface.

The building is being prepared for a major renovation – the project is planned to be completed by 2027. The choreographic halls and the bas-relief on the facade have already been updated, and a large-scale modernization with the addition of multimedia screens, new sound equipment and even a robotic wardrobe is ahead.

"Our concept is simple," emphasizes Alexander Moskalov. "People don't have to go to the city center to see a quality performance or concert. We want to have very high-level culture within walking distance."

ZIL Cultural Center: A Perfect Example of Constructivism in Different Eras

In 1929, a decision was made to build a Palace of Culture in the Simonovskaya Sloboda area, which would unite the entire rapidly growing working-class district. Before that, there had been clubs at factories, but for the first time, there was talk of a large community center for tens of thousands of new residents.

The architectural competition was not easy: two rounds did not satisfy the customers, and in the end the work was entrusted to the Vesnin brothers, key representatives of Soviet constructivism. Construction proceeded rapidly: design work began in December 1930, and the foundation was laid in June 1931.

The Maly Theatre, which opened in 1933, became a venue for tours by leading Moscow theatres. The uniqueness of the layout is in the very steep rise, so the amphitheater is located close to the stage. It was important not only to show the performance, but also to explain to the working audience what they would see.

"Before the performance, you could talk to the lecturer in the foyer. They introduced the audience to what awaited them, educated them about theater, opera, and ballet," says Mikhail Sapunov, leading manager ZIL Cultural Center.

In 1937, the Palace of Culture was ceremoniously opened, timed to coincide with the anniversary of the adoption of the USSR Constitution of 1936. Celebrations were held here, balls, carnivals and masquerades were especially popular, and educational work was carried out. An observatory was placed on the roof – part of the educational campaign.

"They explained that the thunder was not because someone was riding in a chariot, but because it was a natural phenomenon. The original dome and refractor were preserved, and the observatory was being restored," continues Mikhail Sapunov.

The building is a recognized masterpiece of late constructivism. After the war, it was reconstructed in the spirit of Stalin's Empire style: chandeliers and stucco were added. In the 1960s and 1970s, there was a new reconstruction, already in the style of Soviet modernism – marble appeared on the columns and stairs. The ZIL Palace of Culture served as one of the leading venues of the Soviet Union.

"Many famous people have been here, such as Romain Rolland, Mao Zedong, Fidel Castro, Yuri Gagarin and other cosmonauts, Angela Davis. There is a photo of Fidel in the hall," recalls Mikhail Sapunov.

And the local New Year trees were a worthy competitor to the Kremlin ones. Today, the building's facades are being restored to their original 1930s appearance.

Modernity: scale, tradition and innovation

The ZIL Cultural Center is the largest in Moscow. It is going through a difficult but interesting time. It is undergoing restoration, but the center not only does not stop working, but also continues to introduce new directions and formats.

Olga Ilyintseva, Deputy Director for Cultural and Leisure Activities, notes: “Currently, the ZIL Cultural Center operates more than 40 studios completely different directions – vocals, choreography, theater, decorative and applied arts, literary circles. We are home to the unique choreographic college Ledyakh."

The Theatre of the Simple-minded is also located here, the main cast of which consists of people with Down syndrome. Some studios have been operating for decades: the S. L. Stein Drama Theatre was founded in 1937, and the Bruno Belousov Ballroom Dancing School is about 50 years old. "There is a continuity of generations in all studios. At first, grandparents studied here, then parents, and now they bring their children to us," notes Olga Ilyintseva.

A new project is developing at the ZIL Cultural Center — the theater series “City Without a Name.” “As far as we know, theater series have never been staged before. Five “series” of performances are planned. Each is an independent dramatic work, but they are all connected by characters and the setting.

The capital has begun recruiting for groups preparing for the All-Russian School Olympiad. Entrance exams will be held in September, andaccepting applications is already open. This was reported by the press service Department of Education and Science of Moscow.

"Year after year, Moscow schoolchildren confirm their leadership in intellectual competitions. Last season, they won 1,863 diplomas of winners and prize winners at the All-Russian Olympiad – 40 percent more than the year before. And at international tournaments, our students brought Russia 13 gold medals in six subjects – this is more than half of all the top awards of the team. Such progress became possible, among other things, thanks to systematic work with talents. 50 thousand children will be able to join the new recruitment to the Olympiad groups. The programs are designed for different levels of training," the press service of the department said.

Classes are organized in 24 subjects presented at the All-Russian School Olympiad. To get into the teams, students need to demonstrate their creative abilities and level of knowledge. The format of the tests – testing or online interview – depends on the chosen discipline.

Preparations for the Olympiad will begin in September: schoolchildren will attend seminars, off-site intensive courses, and online courses. They will be taught by teachers from leading universities, including Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, and National Research University Higher School of Economics. In addition, students will be able to attend sessions with professional psychologists who will teach them how to take care of their emotional state and cope with stress.

"Last year, I got into the Moscow Law Olympiad team. The year of intensive training was very eventful: we studied legislation, developed logic and learned to build arguments. To become part of this team, we had to go through a serious selection process – diagnostics and an interview with coaches. They evaluate not only the level of knowledge, but also the willingness to work, to cope with complex tasks. Participation in the team is much more than just a chance to win the All-Russian Olympiad. This is an opportunity to lay the foundations for a successful career, be it law, business or public service. I know many graduates of our teams who now work in leading law firms, international organizations, government agencies or implement their own projects," said Daniil Tsarkov, a student of School No. 2123 named after Miguel Hernandez.

Team members study subjects in depth and try themselves in new directions. For example, young historians work with archival documents, and physicists come up with complex problems. Programs are also available for schoolchildren with special educational needs. The working group of inclusive projects of the Center for Pedagogical Excellence is responsible for creating a comfortable environment for development in a favorite discipline.

Detailed information on how to qualify and prepare for the tests can be found inspecial section on the website of the Center for Pedagogical Excellence of the capital Department of Education and Science.

The All-Russian School Olympiad is the largest intellectual competition in the country. The school stage will begin in mid-September. The competition will be held in 24 subjects. Participants from the capital, from the fourth to the 11th grade, will complete tasks on the platform "Moscow Electronic School", in the "Olympiad" service. Then they have three more stages: municipal, regional and final. The transition between them is possible upon overcoming the established threshold of points.

The number of children who will undergo training for the All-Russian School Olympiad was first announced by Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development, at a press conference dedicated to the new academic year. She emphasized that the Olympiad movement will develop. The capital is expanding both the formats of training schoolchildren and the number of areas in which such competitions are held.

Winners and prize winners of the final stage of the All-Russian School Olympiad can enter any university without exams in the areas corresponding to the competition profile. In addition, participants in intellectual competitions often get good results on the Unified State Exam: young Muscovites who have passed the municipal stage have a three times higher chance of scoring more than 250 points.
