Since the beginning of the year by projects Traffic Management Center (TsODD) equipped five turbo-ring intersections at the intersection of Tallinskaya Street and Kulakov Street, Presnensky Val Street with Khodynskaya Street and Bolshoi Tishinsky Lane, Trikotazhny Proezd and the exit to and from the Moscow Ring Road (MKAD), as well as at Akademika Kurchatova and Romain Rolland Squares.

"Following Sergei Sobyanin's instructions, we're improving road safety and creating comfortable traffic conditions. Thanks to the TsODD projects, five more turbo-roundabout intersections have been built since the beginning of the year. Drivers can now navigate these sections 10 percent faster. Turbo-roundabout markings are an effective method for organizing roundabouts, reducing the number of traffic accidents by an average of 10-15 percent," he explained.

Maxim Liksutov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.

"Turbo" markings on roundabouts improve traffic conditions: travel time is reduced, and travel safety and comfort are increased. A distinctive feature of these markings is that the lanes are designed to minimize lane changes. Drivers simply need to choose a direction and take the correct lane according to the sign before the intersection, and then follow the markings. On a regular roundabout, the markings guide traffic around the roundabout in two or three lanes, while on turbo roundabouts, the markings are guiding. Drivers can see in advance which lane they need to be in to make left, right, or straight turns at the roundabout. Drivers entering the turbo roundabout can also use the signs and take the correct lane in advance, reducing unnecessary lane changes, braking, and related minor accidents. This speeds up travel through the roundabout, hence the name "turbo roundabout."

Thanks to the TsODD projects, 18 "turbo rings" have already opened in the capital since 2019. They are primarily being installed at complex intersections with heavy traffic.

One of the first films produced under the rebate program will be "Battle for Moscow: Tashkent Division," produced by the Russian film company KD Studios in collaboration with the Uzbek film concern Uzbekfilm. The application was submitted during the second Moscow International Film Week. Production is scheduled for 2026, with a premiere in 2027.

Rebate program

Summing up Results of the Moscow International Film WeekSergei Sobyanin announced that the first two applications for rebates—financial support from the Moscow Government for film co-productions with foreign film companies—were submitted. The capital became the first Russian region to implement the program.

This will allow filmmakers to reimburse up to 30 percent of filming costs, with a minimum of 15 million rubles, and will also expand the Moscow Film Cluster's capabilities as a global film platform. The maximum support amount is 50 million rubles. Applications are accepted through the film platform. Moschino.

Moscow-based companies co-producing films with foreign filmmakers are eligible for rebates. They must have already completed at least one international project. The agreement with the foreign partner must have been concluded no earlier than 12 months prior to the application.

"Last year, an intergovernmental agreement on joint film production was signed between Russia and Uzbekistan. Several projects have been launched under this agreement, including the filming of a feature film, "Battle for Moscow: Tashkent Division," in collaboration with KD Studios. We are confident that this project will also be successful and will bring filmmakers, audiences, and the peoples of the two countries closer together," noted Bakhodir Mukhamedov, director of the Uzbekfilm film concern.

"Battle for Moscow. Tashkent division"

The film is dedicated to the heroism of the Tashkent Division, which participated in the Battle of Moscow. Its anniversary is celebrated on September 30.

"International cooperation in cinema has always been an important focus for the Moscow film cluster. A few months after the launch of the rebate program, we are preparing to welcome partners from Uzbekistan to the capital. The film 'Battle for Moscow: Tashkent Division' will be one of the first produced under the program. In addition to providing financial support to filmmakers and developing the city's economy, we also strive to create historically significant projects in the capital. It is also significant that work on the project is beginning now—in the year of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory," noted Georgy Prokopov, General Director of ANO Moskino.

The film recounts the events of the Great Patriotic War of 1941–1942, particularly the battles near Volokolamsk and on the western approaches to Moscow. One of the key episodes is the capture and liberation of Ludina Gora, a turning point in the battle. The 35th Separate Rifle Brigade, formed in the Central Asian Military District in October–November 1941, played a particularly significant role in the assault on Ludina Gora. Its ranks included cadets from the Tashkent Infantry Military School.

Volume, color, shape, number of floors, and layout. In the design of housesrenovation program— the largest residential renovation project in the capital's history — is being meticulously executed in every detail. Buildings are being modernized and functional, and their appearance is becoming a beautification of neighborhoods. Over the eight years of the program's implementation, approximately 6.4 million square meters of housing have been built in the city. Over 226,000 Muscovites have moved or are moving into the new buildings from more than 1,300 buildings. old fund.

Each building under the renovation program is built using a custom design. It takes into account the architectural landscape, meets all requirements for multi-story construction, and makes them modern and beautiful.

Moscow architect Dmitry Sukhov, the author of nearly 30 new building projects under the renovation program, spoke to a mos.ru correspondent about how ideas for the future appearance of buildings in the largest residential renovation project in the capital's history are being developed and implemented, and what unusual buildings are being erected for its participants today.

From prefab technologies to unique design

Houses under the renovation program are built using monolithic and panel structures, as well as prefab technologies, where some elements are prefabricated in factories and assembled on site. This allows for faster construction.

Before construction of a building begins, a whole team works on its design: architects, designers, engineers, landscape designers and other specialists.

"Each building under the renovation program is a comprehensive project that takes into account its exterior appearance, interior content, and even the surrounding area. The building must meet all modern requirements for multi-story construction in Moscow. For example, we designate the ground floors as non-residential: cafes, shops, and pickup points will be located there. The entrance to the building must be level with the ground, and the building itself must have a through passage to both the street and the courtyard. Apartments for residents with limited mobility are designed separately, with wider corridors and doorways, underground or above-ground parking, and vestibules. Taking these factors into account, we also consider the location of the building, the landscape, and the size of the site. This determines the height of the new building and its shape," explains Dmitry Sukhov.

The building's exterior is given special attention during the design stage. In addition to the shape and height of the buildings, experts meticulously consider their architectural design. Facades can feature unusual color combinations, ornamentation, reliefs, and even patterns. This makes each building distinctive and allows the new buildings to blend seamlessly into the surrounding environment.

"An architect's work is similar to that of a director: we develop a scenario for how the project should look and what it will reflect, what needs to be considered, how it will attract attention, and how it will surprise residents. It's important that the building be recognizable to both its residents and those of the district and the capital as a whole. This creates a special atmosphere and highlights the quality of urban development. A building's uniqueness can be its shape, volume, height, or individual architectural details," says Dmitry Sukhov.

Hexagons, sandstone and 3D effect

With its ornate ornamentation, expressive color, and three-dimensional shapes, a building with a unique appearance will soon grace the Tsaritsyno district. Construction is underway on Kavkazsky Boulevard (land plot No. 27). 21-story building with three-dimensional facades. Copper-coated aluminum panels are used for finishing.

"Each panel will be manufactured individually, and then all the elements will be assembled into an unusual geometric pattern resembling three-dimensional weaving. This 3D effect will add originality to the facade design and create a memorable look for the entire building. Decorative steel grilles with an intricate pattern will complete the composition," notes Dmitry Sukhov.

The new building will be constructed near the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve. The building is scheduled to open this year.

One more thing unusual buildingA two-building residential complex will open on Aviatsionnaya Street (land plot no. 61a) in the Shchukino district in 2026. The building will feature a simple rectangular shape with varying heights. Decorative inserts will be placed between the glazed loggias and windows, which will stretch across the facades like ribbons.

"The subtle hexagonal pattern on the graphite panels will contrast with the powerful sandstone-effect façade pillars, creating an architectural harmony. It's important to incorporate natural forms, colors, and textures into the design of buildings. They make urban development more visually appealing and evoke positive emotions," the mos.ru source emphasized.

In the east of the capital, six new buildings have been handed over for occupancy under the renovation program.From June to August of this year, construction began on 32 buildings in Moscow to implement the renovation program.Residents of 100 old buildings in the south of the capital are being relocated to modern apartments under a renovation program.

Steamboat house and waves on the facades

When designing houses under the renovation program, not only colors and textures but also shapes play an important role. The appearance of a building depends, among other things, on its location. If the construction site is small and located in a densely populated area, the house may be narrow and tall; if it borders an intersection, it may be a corner house. Sometimes, however, the shape becomes the most striking feature of a new building.

So, on Taininskaya Street (property 16, building 3) in the Losinoostrovsky district this year there will be house, resembling a spaceship. The building's outer corner will be rounded, and the sides of the façade will feature recesses. The ground floors of the new building will feature panoramic stained-glass windows, creating the impression that the building is literally floating in mid-air.

Another original project was developed for new buildings In Moscow's Presnensky District, a building resembling a steamship is being constructed on Podvoiskogo Street (land plot no. 12/15). Four sections of the building will be arranged to resemble a deck, while a fifth will extend upward.

"The project features a distinctive play of contrasts. These include the two volumes of different heights and the alternating colors and lines. The dark gray facades are adorned with horizontal and vertical light gray stripes. The predominance of lines in architecture is called linearity. This technique creates a graphic effect, emphasizing contours. Furthermore, the facades feature protruding details that form a wave. This also makes the building interesting. It begs to be studied and contemplated," notes Dmitry Sukhov.

Muscovites will soon have this opportunity. The new building is scheduled to open next year.

57 new buildings have been erected in northern Moscow to implement the renovation program.In August, nearly 4,800 city residents signed contracts for new apartments under the renovation program.Around seven thousand families have moved into new apartments in the South-Western Administrative Okrug since the start of the renovation program.

Shades of the North, murals and swallows

In the capital's housing projects under the renovation program, one can find not only whimsical shapes and original ornamentation, but also reflections of the districts' distinctive features and their history. For example, in the Yuzhnoportovy district, this year, buildingThe end façade of the building will be adorned with a large mural dedicated to Hero of the Soviet Union pilot Pyotr Romanov. The new building will be located on the street of the same name (building 10). The image will be mounted on a decorative relief panel made of glass fiber reinforced concrete.

Petra Romanova Street appeared in the capital 60 years ago. Initially, it was called Novoproektiruyemy Proezd, and later 8th Kozhukhovskaya Street. In 1965, the initiative to name the street after the hero of the Great Patriotic War was put forward by workers of the First State Bearing Plant (now the Moscow Bearing Plant), located nearby, where he worked as a mechanic. Pyotr Romanova took part in the defense of Moscow and Stalingrad, and fought in Smolensk, Bryansk, Poltava, and other cities.

In memory of another conqueror of the skies, the capital has a street named Pilot Babushkina. An original monument will also be erected here. house As part of the renovation program, the multi-story building (building 29, block 5) will be symbolically decorated with murals of clouds and swallows. They will be placed above the building's entrances on the second floor.

"Swallows can also be seen on the cartouche—a decorative shield—on the building's roof. The birds are depicted with outstretched wings, as if in flight. In addition to decorative accents, the design for the future building also seamlessly blends natural tones: blue, white, and gray," emphasizes Dmitry Sukhov.

Toponymy can also be seen in the project Houses, which will be built under the renovation program on Verkhoyanskaya Street (land plot No. 14). A new U-shaped building with bright accents on the facades is being constructed there. Since the building is being constructed in the Babushkinsky District, located in northeastern Moscow, it was decided to design it around a northern theme. The main part of the facade will be white, with gray accents on the top, and two sections will be painted in shades of light blue and blue, evoking the landscapes of Arctic cities and Siberia. The building is scheduled to open this year.

The renovation program was approved in August 2017. It covers 5,176 buildings—more than 350,000 apartments with a total floor area of 16.4 million square meters. Nearly a million Muscovites live in these buildings.

As part of the Moscow Museum Week event, visitors can view the exhibition "Unrealized Projects of the 20th Century: From Sretenka to Prospekt Mira" free of charge at the Garden Ring Museum.

The exhibition explores architectural plans for the district's transformation that were never realized or underwent significant changes during the design and construction process. Historically, Sretenka was a shopping street: small shops stood side by side with low-class taverns and bars, and a huge market operated near the Sukharev Tower, where thieves from all over Moscow sold stolen goods. The infamous reputation of these areas began to change in the 1910s, when large retail and apartment buildings appeared on Sretenka. With the advent of Soviet power, which actively undertook urban reconstruction, the district acquired a new appearance. Trees on the Garden Ring were cut down, the Sukharev Tower was demolished, 1st Meshchanskaya Street was widened and lined with monumental buildings, and in 1957 it became part of Moscow's new thoroughfare, Prospekt Mira. The buildings on display here today are both a showcase of Soviet architecture and a vibrant collection of postmodernist designs from the 1990s.

The exhibition focuses on projects conceived by architects for Sretenka and Prospekt Mira, which underwent significant changes along the way or were never built at all: for example, the GIPROMEZ building, residential buildings for the USSR Ministry of Agriculture, and the exhibition hall of the Union of Artists of the RSFSR. In some cases, construction was interrupted by the outbreak of war, while in others, plans were revised due to lack of funds or dramatic shifts in urban planning and architectural policy. The exhibition features sketches, drawings, and photographs of models, introducing the viewer to the original designs of the Vesnin brothers, Ivan Fomin, Kirill Afanasyev, Grigory Barkhin, Iosif Loveiko, and many other prominent 20th-century architects. Supplemented with contemporary photographs, they allow the viewer to compare these plans with the area's current topography and imagine what it might have been like had these plans been realized.

How young people preserve history

Maxim Rybalchenko began his volunteer career at major federal forums, where he first discovered the power of volunteerism. His true calling was helping with the International Volunteer Corps for the 80th Anniversary of Victory. He was inspired by the opportunity to be part of important historical events and, through his own example, to show his peers how to preserve and pass on historical memory. He participated in a wide range of patriotic events—from meetings with veterans and memorial and patronage events to memorable city events (such as the Memory Line, the St. George Ribbon, and others). The most memorable and meaningful event for him was the Victory Day Parade on Red Square.

"The International Volunteer Corps has inspired even those who hadn't previously considered volunteering. Today, many of them regularly attend meetings with veterans, offering them attention and care. Participation in the November forum is important for every volunteer. As the winner of the 'Victory Ambassadors. Moscow' competition, I want to join like-minded people to review the year and share experiences with colleagues from the regions," said Maxim Rybalchenko.

How the older generation passes on the baton of memory

Silver Volunteer Lyudmila Panova became a volunteer in 2019. Her sincere desire to do good deeds developed into a systematic approach. She has tried her hand at a wide variety of volunteer activities, but patriotic events have always held a special place in her heart. As part of the 80th Anniversary of Victory Day volunteer corps, she participated in many events (such as the St. George's Ribbon, Victory Train, and Streets of Heroes, as well as patronage events). Her most powerful experience was meeting former concentration camp prisoners. Lyudmila shared that her skills for helping veterans were ingrained in her during her youth, during the Timurov movement.

She wanted to tell young people about the events of the war years and share her knowledge. Lyudmila noted that her grandfather and father fought in the Great Patriotic War, and her mother was a veteran of the labor front. She said that grandchildren and great-grandchildren should know history, which is why the work of the International Volunteer Corps of the 80th Anniversary of Victory is so important. "Volunteers inspire others through their actions and pass the baton of memory to the younger generation," Lyudmila added.

Moscow is developing modern services to improve passenger service and enhance transport accessibility in areas far from the city center, according to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry. Maxim LiksutovThe "Po Puti" (Po Puti) transportation service has been helping city residents for four years. It operates in the New Moscow and the Skolkovo Innovation Center (IC). Comfortable buses pick up passengers at 320 stops upon request. "Po Puti" provides safe rides to social and cultural sites.

"Modern compact buses help people get to their destinations in New Moscow and the Skolkovo Innovation Center quickly and comfortably every day. Over the past four years, passengers have used the 'On the Way' service 2.5 million times. We continue to develop urban transport, as instructed by Sergei Sobyanin," noted Maxim Liksutov.

The service helps you get to six metro stations and Moscow Central Diameters (MCD), including Prokshino and Buninskaya Alleya metro stations, as well as the Shcherbinka, Ostafyevo, Silikatnaya MCD-2, and Skolkovo MCD-1 stops.

Buses driven by professional Mosgortans drivers arrive at the designated stops after you order them through the app. Moscow TransportEach bus offers seats with individual lighting, tables, and charging stations for devices. The buses are also equipped with video surveillance and climate control. Fare can be paid by credit card. Schoolchildren, students, and pensioners with a Muscovite card receive discounted fares.

The "Po Puti" (On the Way) transportation service has been operating since 2021 and is constantly evolving. Initially, transportation was only available in the New Moscow area, but since the end of 2022, small buses have also been operating within the Skolkovo Innovation Center. Eight more new stops will be added in 2025.

In accordance with the objectives of the national project Infrastructure for Life Moscow is placing significant emphasis on modernizing its social and public infrastructure, including increasing the number of convenient public transportation routes and upgrading its rolling stock. Furthermore, as part of the national project, the capital has begun developing the Central Transportation Hub. It will become a unified transportation system with predictable commuter rail service for over 30 million residents in 11 Russian regions.

For Senior Citizens Day, participants of the Moscow Longevity project and orphans released a cookbook with recipes from the dishes they prepared during their joint classes. It was posted onspecial page on the website of the Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of the City of Moscow.

The Silver Mentoring project began two and a half years ago. It brought together participants of the Moscow Longevity project and children from orphanages. Since then, the children and their Silver Mentors have held approximately 850 joint events. Cooking master classes are especially popular.

"The strength of the Silver Mentoring project lies in its diversity. Each center offers unique activities that engage both children and mentors: together, they master video editing, learn to pitch tents, go on excursions around Moscow, and read fairy tales. But cooking is a special experience that unites everyone. Baking, salads, sweets, and even homemade preserves from home-grown vegetables are just a part of our culinary creativity. I am confident that these skills will provide a solid foundation for the children and will help them both in their future families and in their independent lives," noted Tatyana Danko, Head of the Moscow Guardianship and Trusteeship Department.

Department of Labor and Social Protection.

Suvorov's porridge and pancake traditions

On the recipe page, you can find not only instructions for preparing various dishes, but also legends that the "silver" mentors shared with children while cooking.

For example, mentor Galina Chirova told the students at the Yury Nikulin Center for Assistance to Family Education that the recipe for soldier's porridge was once invented by the famous military leader Alexander Suvorov. During a difficult march through the Alps, he ordered all the soldiers' food supplies to be collected and cooked together. The cauldron contained grains, vegetables, peas, and stewed meat. This is how soldier's porridge was born, which warmed and nourished generations of Russian soldiers. Galina herself learned this from her father, a veteran of the Great Patriotic War.

Food often helps preserve folk traditions. For example, in Rus', the custom of going door-to-door was associated with blini: on Maslenitsa, people would visit friends and always treat themselves to blini to share the joy before the long fast. Galina Krasnova, a "silver" mentor, remembers this tradition. She shared not only the recipe but also the story behind it with the students at the Sputnik Family Support Center. In the communal apartment where she spent her childhood, each family made blini using their own signature recipes: thin yeast blini, wheat blini, buckwheat blini, or blini with toppings. Everyone would gather around one large table, set it with various dishes, and share the treats with each other, like one big family.

Fortune telling with dumplings

Many superstitions were associated with pelmeni. In large families, several generations would make them. Some pelmeni even had surprises hidden inside them. This transformed an ordinary lunch or dinner into a fun fortune-telling experience. A coin promised wealth, a ring a quick wedding, and a grain of grain meant prosperity in the home. It was believed that such a ritual not only predicted the future but also brought good luck and prosperity to the home. "Silver" mentor Valentina Lyskova preserved this tradition and shared it with her children. In her family, the recipe for lucky pelmeni is passed down from generation to generation. She replaced coins and rings with edible surprises: a raisin foretells joy, a sprig of dill health, and a berry good luck.

The page also features recipes for pie, stuffed pumpkin, Easter cake, jam, charlotte, potato, sauerkraut, and other dishes. A special menu item is gnocchi, based on the grandmother's recipe by Italian chef Mirko Zago, who held a master class for children and instructors. The ingredients for this unusual dish are readily available in any kitchen, as it's based on mashed potatoes and mushrooms.

You can read warm stories and learn time-tested recipes atlinkThe participants plan to add new ideas, legends, and stories of happy moments in the kitchen to the collection.

This year, more than 40 such facilities, covering a total area of over 350 hectares, are planned to be improved: these include metro stations, Moscow Central Diameters (MCD) railway stations, Moscow city railway stations, and other areas. Sergei Sobyanin announced this in his address. blog.

"An important area for improving the quality of Moscow's public transportation is the improvement of areas around transport facilities. Narrow paths are being replaced by convenient sidewalks everywhere. Chaotic parking is being replaced by organized spaces. Modern streetlights, benches, and green recreation areas are appearing," the Moscow Mayor wrote.

Last year, convenient approaches and ramps were installed near the Kuskovo station of the Moscow Central Diameters (MCD)-4, allowing for quick transfers from ground transportation to MCD trains.

On 2-ya Vladimirskaya and Novoteterka Streets, sidewalks were widened, road surfaces were renewed, modern energy-saving streetlights and new bus stop shelters were installed, and grass was laid out.

This year, a sports complex with a pump track, skate park, and streetball and volleyball courts was installed on Novoteterki Street.

Near the Sokolniki metro station on the Big Circle Line, a small transit park between 5th Sokolnicheskaya Street and Matrosskaya Tishina Street has been landscaped. It now offers a comfortable, quiet spot for relaxation with walking paths, park furniture, and pergolas with swings. Specialists have laid out a lawn, and in late fall, linden trees, lilacs, and perennials will be planted in the park, along with a cotoneaster hedge.

Work has been completed on creating a pedestrian route from a residential area to the Vnukovo Airport metro station in the Vnukovo district. A controlled crossing over Borovskoye Highway has been installed, sidewalks and driveways to residential buildings have been improved, grass has been laid, and modern streetlights have been installed. Improvements to the Central Park will soon be completed.

A comfortable public space has been created next to the Otradnoye metro station. Green recreation areas have been created near the station's exits, and pergolas with swings have been installed.

Cozy parks have been landscaped on Khachaturyan and Dekabristov Streets. Another recreation area at the intersection of Severny Boulevard and Dekabristov Street has been renovated: a lawn has been laid out, benches have been installed, and lighting has been installed.

A vacant lot near the multi-level park-and-ride facility on Severny Boulevard has been transformed into a terraced public space in an eco-style with unusual lanterns and comfortable wooden benches on a retaining wall made of architectural concrete. A variety of plants will be planted here in late autumn.

At the intersection of Khachaturyan and Kargopolskaya streets, a children's playground and a sports ground were built.

Convenient pedestrian routes have been added near the Ostankino station on the Moscow Central Diameters 3 (MCD-3). Approaches and access roads have been built, making transfers between different modes of transport more convenient.

Sidewalks on Novomoskovskaya Street and Dubovoy Roshchi Driveway were widened, the road surface was renewed, and lighting poles were replaced. New bus shelters were also installed, and parking was created for drivers.

Work is underway in the areas adjacent to the Novokhokhlovskaya MCC and MCD stations. To make access to the MCD convenient and safe, a sidewalk on piles with decking and lighting will be installed along the embankment.

A complex of five shelters will be built near the Slavyansky Bulvar city railway station, using the "dry feet" principle. This will make transfers to buses from the Slavyansky Bulvar MCD station and the Slavyansky Bulvar metro station comfortable in any weather.

We've completed 85 percent of the planned work near the Domodedovskaya transport hub. We've also cleaned up the area near the Domodedovskaya metro station, as well as parts of the Kashirskoye Shosse, Orekhovy Boulevard, and Domodedovskaya and General Belov Streets bypass roads.

Nearly 13 kilometers of overhead power lines were relocated underground, over 1.2 kilometers of stormwater drainage pipes were installed, and sidewalks and driveways were resurfaced. Old streetlights were replaced with modern energy-efficient LED fixtures. Contrast lighting was installed at the crossings. A lawn was laid, and trees will be planted in late fall.

Along the Kashirskoye Highway bypass, in the area separating the highway from residential buildings, the walkways have been repaved, the stairs and ramps have been repaired, and a lawn has been laid. Three playgrounds, two multi-purpose sports areas, and one workout area, will also be renovated. They will be paved with rubber crumb surfaces to prevent injuries from falls, and modern sports equipment will be installed, along with children's play structures for children of all ages.

The football field near Building 98, Block 1 on Kashirskoye Shosse will also be renovated. The rubber surface will be replaced with artificial turf, and new goals and fencing netting will be installed.

"A comprehensive approach to public improvement includes creating a barrier-free environment, installing modern bus stops, well-designed lighting, and high-quality landscaping. This improves the comfort of the urban environment, ensures convenient transfers between different modes of transport, and creates new points of attraction in the districts," the Moscow Mayor concluded.
