Two more women's health centers have opened in Moscow: the women's health center at the S.S. Yudin City Clinical Hospital and the women's health center at the V.V. Veresaev City Clinical Hospital (10 Lobbenskaya Street). This was reported on their channel inMAX messenger Sergei Sobyanin reported.

"The capital now has 13 centers operating under the new standard of outpatient obstetrics and gynecology care, eight of which opened this year. Here, women can receive modern diagnostics and treatment, prepare for childbirth, and receive regular check-ups—all in one place," the Moscow Mayor wrote.

They plan to complete the creation of three more by the end of 2025.

Plans call for nine more centers in the coming years. This will complete the implementation of the new standard of medical care for women in all districts of Moscow.

The Women's Health Center on Medikov Street (Building 7) was opened in a reconstructed building with an area of 1,950 square meters.

The new division of the S.S. Yudin City Clinical Hospital united four women's clinics located in different districts of the Southern Administrative District. They occupied small spaces and therefore had limited patient care capabilities.

The new center's capacity is 360 visits per shift. The total assigned population is 164,000 people.

The center will operate according to a new standard of outpatient obstetric and gynecological care. In one location, patients will be able to receive virtually all necessary diagnostics and treatments, both to prepare for childbirth and to maintain their women's health.

The center was equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment, including a mammography machine and three ultrasound machines. In total, over 450 pieces of modern medical equipment were purchased.

The three-story building (plus a basement) houses 18 obstetrician-gynecologist offices, cardiotocography and functional diagnostics rooms (ECG, ABPM, Holter monitoring), and two ultrasound rooms. A cervical pathology room and a mammography room are also located here, enabling the detection of tumors at the earliest possible stage. The center also features an on-call doctor, open seven days a week to provide emergency care without an appointment, and a school for expectant parents.

The center has a staff of 108 people, including 49 doctors and 43 nursing staff.

In addition, the resources of the S.S. Yudin City Clinical Hospital, including its laboratory and diagnostic services (CT, MRI), will be utilized to provide high-quality medical care. This will allow for the prompt implementation of a full range of necessary examinations.

The women's health center's four-bed day hospital will reduce the number of visits to other hospitals or clinics, including during pregnancy. Specifically, pregnant women will no longer need to visit other medical facilities for glucose tolerance testing or treatment for conditions and preventative measures that do not require 24-hour monitoring (e.g., morning sickness, high blood pressure, and mild anemia).

For the convenience of patients, the center also offers comfortable waiting areas, a stroller room, and specially equipped feeding rooms.

The new women's health center on Medikov Street will welcome its first patients on September 29.

New standard of outpatient obstetric and gynecological care

The new standard for outpatient obstetric and gynecological care, approved by the Moscow Government, is based on comprehensive care for women's health and the comfort of receiving specialized treatment. It includes a full range of services—from consultations and examinations to pregnancy support—all within a single facility (women's health center, maternity hospital, or perinatal center, and gynecology department of a multidisciplinary hospital).

A key element of the new standard are women's health centers—modern clinics with a wide range of diagnostic capabilities where patients can receive lifelong obstetric and gynecological care, prepare for pregnancy, and be monitored by their physician before the birth of their child.

The new centers are designed to replace traditional women's health clinics, where the quality and comfort of medical care do not meet modern requirements for several reasons.

For example, due to their small spaces, which lack the capacity to install a full range of diagnostic equipment (women's clinics often range from 350 to 600 square meters), some clinics have only three rooms. There are also no uniform equipment standards, meaning patients must visit other medical facilities for not only specialized but also many routine examinations (such as ultrasounds).

Furthermore, women's clinics experience uneven workloads and staff shortages. The lack of uniform staffing requirements reduces access to medical care—not all women's clinics have specialized doctors. Another factor is the inability to create comfortable conditions.

In accordance with the new Moscow standard, women's health centers provide:

— continuity between outpatient and inpatient care. For patients, this means seamless transition from the women's health center to the maternity hospital, perinatal center, or multidisciplinary hospital. A Muscovite's health is in the hands of a single team of professional doctors;

— a unified standard of equipment that allows for a full range of diagnostic procedures (ultrasound, mammography, fetal screening and other examinations) to be performed using modern, high-tech equipment;

— a unified approach to staffing. The centers will employ specialists from various fields: obstetricians/gynecologists, therapists, endocrinologists, psychologists, and other professionals;

— modern approaches to disease prevention and treatment, including early detection of cancer, treatment of infertility, cervical pathology, benign breast diseases, and much more;

— Convenient digital solutions. All data on appointments, examination results, tests, and prescriptions are stored in an electronic medical record. Women's clinics and women's health centers are integrated into the Unified Medical Information and Analytical System (EMIAS). All core processes (structured protocols, site passports, routing, pregnancy registries, etc.) are implemented digitally;

— comfortable conditions for patients, ensuring intimacy and maintaining personal space, creating an atmosphere of coziness and a positive attitude.

Furthermore, a key advantage of women's health centers is their accessibility: they see patients seven days a week, unlike older women's clinics, which only see patients on weekdays.

Women's health centers provide medical care to women of all ages, including those during pregnancy, including those in outpatient groups (those with infertility and other health conditions requiring specialized treatment). Pregnancy care is provided in the most comfortable conditions possible, with extensive diagnostic capabilities and the involvement of specialized specialists.

Women's Reproductive Health Support Program

In September 2024, Moscow became the first city in Russia to launch a program to support women's reproductive health. "I'll become a mother"Its goal is to assist patients aged 25 to 39 (or 18 to 24 if medically indicated) in planning their pregnancy, taking into account their individual health needs. The project was developed in collaboration with leading reproductive specialists and obstetricians/gynecologists.

For the first time, procedures such as blood tests for anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), which indicates the level of egg reserves, egg cryopreservation, and genetic diagnostics of embryos have become free for residents of the capital.

During the first stage, project participants are offered an AMH test. If the test results show low AMH levels, the patient will be invited to a women's health center for a detailed consultation and offered a range of options for successful pregnancy planning. For example, they will be offered the opportunity to preserve their eggs free of charge using cryopreservation. The city will provide storage of eggs and embryos at participating clinics for two years. When the woman has the opportunity and desire to become a mother, she can use these eggs to conceive using assisted reproductive technologies.

Specialists can also offer free in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer procedures.

Today, the EMIS system has generated referrals for screening tests to determine AMH levels for more than 1.3 million women.

Since the project's launch, 270,000 Muscovites have been tested. This demonstrates the high coverage of the reproductive health population screening program among women.

The "Becoming a Mom" program helps young Muscovites assess their reproductive potential.More than eight thousand participants in the reproductive health support project will soon become mothers.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

A section dedicated to VDNKh has been launched on the mos.ru portal. It contains key facts about the country's main exhibition—its history, traditions, and development strategy through 2030. This was reported by Natalia Sergunina, Deputy Mayor of Moscow.

The section's visual accompaniment includes historical archival photographs and modern shots of renovated pavilions, fountains, monuments, and picturesque corners.

"The online project consists of several thematic sections. The first tells the story of the complex's revival, which began in 2014. At VDNKh, not only were architectural monuments restored, but new attractions, already beloved by Muscovites and tourists, were also created. These include the Moskvarium, the Aerial Tram cable car, and the Atom Museum," noted Natalia Sergunina.

The website also gave special attention to the museum and exhibition cluster. It comprises over 30 facilities, including the Cosmonautics and Aviation Center, the Slovo Museum of Slavic Literature, and the Cinema Museum, and is constantly expanding. For example, at the end of 2024, the Museum of Heroism, dedicated to the exploits of defenders of the Fatherland, opened in Pavilion No. 59, "Grain." This year, the complex opened Russia's only biocluster. Its first location is Pavilion No. 29, "Floriculture and Landscaping." Four more sites are expected to open by the summer of 2026.

Today, VDNKh is a large-scale cultural and educational complex, uniting 42 cultural heritage sites and 325 hectares of landscaped public space.

"Since the beginning of the year, VDNKh has been visited by over 18 million people, 10.5 million of them during the summer. Thousands of events were organized for guests: festivals, concerts, sporting competitions, and business forums. During the warm season, guides developed around 60 new tours of the museums and the complex," added Natalia Sergunina.

VDNKh is one of the key venues for this large-scale project Summer in MoscowThe venue hosted shows of the fifth Moscow Fashion Week, the "Friendship of Peoples" national hospitality festival, the "Inspiration" International Arts Festival, the "Tastes of Russia" gastrofestival, City Day, Cinema Day, and Chess Day celebrations, tournaments, races, lectures, and much more. Furthermore, the Orion family theme park attracted over 900,000 visitors.

In September, the exhibition "The Image of Moscow in Russian Art from the Collection of the State Russian Museum" opened in Pavilion No. 1, "Central," featuring 115 works of art. Some of these are being shown in the capital for the first time.

Anyone in the country can also take a virtual tour of the digital replica of the exhibition. One of the sections in the new section leads to the page of the interactive project "MetaVDNKh," which was developed for the exhibition complex's 85th anniversary in 2024.

This year, a development strategy was adopted that will shape VDNKh's future until 2030. It will place even greater emphasis on hospitality, environmental quality, and healthy living.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

A new walking route along the Moscow River has been created in the south of the capital. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Utilities, and Public Works. Petr Biryukov.

"Last year, over 20 kilometers of Yauza River embankments were renovated, and this year, comprehensive improvements were carried out on six Moskva River embankments: Nagatinskaya, Novodanilovskaya, Danilovskaya, Paveletskaya, Derbenevskaya, and Shlyuzovaya. As a result, a new, convenient pedestrian route for strolls along the Moskva River has emerged, with a total length of 11.4 kilometers," noted Pyotr Biryukov.

The new route complements the existing network of promenades. On one side, it connects with the Ozerkovskaya, Ovchinnikovskaya, and Kadashevskaya embankments, forming a single pedestrian space that extends to Gorky Park and Vorobyovy Gory. On the other side, you can stroll through Nagatinsky Zaton to the Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve.

As part of the project, overhead power lines were relocated underground into cable ducts, improving the visual appearance of the space and ensuring reliable operation of utilities. Sidewalks were widened and resurfaced, the roadway asphalt was repaired, and the lighting system was modernized.

145 high-contrast lighting poles were installed at pedestrian crossings. New pavilions were installed for public transport passengers, navigation signs were installed, and rest areas with comfortable benches were created.

Landscaping is a mandatory component of all capital improvement projects. 170,000 square meters of lawns and flowerbeds have been laid out along the embankments. Around 70 large trees are planned to be planted by the end of autumn.

The smoke of Borodino, the fakes of Austerlitz, and Napoleon's chess checkmate. Let's visit the Battle of Borodino Panorama Museum.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Moscow Government – Moscow Government –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

A panorama by the Russian artist of French origin Franz Roubaud is the central exhibit of the panorama museum. The Battle of BorodinoThe 115-by-15-meter canvas is a faithful reconstruction of a tense moment during the Battle of Borodino. It was created for the 100th anniversary of the Patriotic War of 1812. Roubaud and his military historian consultants repeatedly visited the Borodino field, studying the terrain and troop dispositions. There is a "Roubaud point" on the field, from which he constructed the composition.

The artist worked for 11 months in a studio in Munich. Then, the canvas, along with the subject plan, was placed on a platform and shipped to Russia by rail. A special wooden pavilion was built for it in Moscow on Chistye Prudy. The masterpiece's fate was a difficult one: after the Revolution, it was rolled back onto the platform, and for many years the panorama was stored in unsuitable locations, even outdoors. In 1962, the "Battle of Borodino" Panorama Museum finally opened. The cylindrical building was built specifically to house the gigantic exhibit.

Total immersion and deliberate deviation from the truth

The canvas and the subject matter are the main tools of immersion: the viewer stands on the observation deck and sees how the three-dimensional reality of the field transitions onto the painted canvas.

Plywood, fabric, plaster, and even soil—all to create a sense of presence. "Many visitors say it really does smell like earth, like a real field," notes Victoria Pavlenko, Deputy Director of Development at the Battle of Borodino Panorama Museum.

Roubaud and the creators of the panorama deviated from reality in only one detail: the battlefield is clearly visible. In reality, on September 7, 1812, the battle was so fierce that the artillery fired nonstop and the entire field was shrouded in smoke. "…from a mysterious cloud of smoke that obscured the entire terrain ahead, cannonballs and slowly whistling grenades flew incessantly with a hissing, rapid whistle," is how Leo Tolstoy describes the Battle of Borodino in his novel War and Peace. If Roubaud hadn't deviated from the truth, we would have seen nothing but a dense smoke screen.

"It was around 10:30 a.m., when the French were advancing on the village of Semenovskoye. It was a tragic moment for the Russian army—literally an hour earlier, Pyotr Bagration had been mortally wounded, and a new left flank commander, Dmitry Dokhturov, had arrived to take his place. This was the moment of the Russian Guard's greatest involvement in the battle," explains Victoria Pavlenko.

A reflective umbrella is mounted above the observation deck, behind which are fluorescent lamps and reflective screens. The diffused light evenly illuminates the canvas, creating the impression of the three-dimensional space of the Borodino field.

The 14-hour Battle of Borodino is considered the bloodiest single-day battle of the 19th century. No one emerged victorious. But, as Leo Tolstoy wrote, the Russian victory was moral, and a direct consequence of the Battle of Borodino was Napoleon's unjustified flight from Moscow.

Not just a panorama

The museum also houses approximately 400 other exhibits. Among them is a grenadier cap from the Pavlovsky Grenadier Regiment, pierced by a bullet or shrapnel. Victoria Pavlenko explains: "For the valor of the Pavlovsky Regiment's soldiers, Alexander I ordered that this particular type of headgear—the grenadier cap—be preserved for them in perpetuity."

The museum's collection continues to grow. A significant new exhibit recently arrived: a portrait of Yevgeny Petrovich Nazimov by artist Nikolai Melnikov. "It was a gift from Mikhail Karisalov, a renowned collector and philanthropist. Nazimov fought in all the battles against Napoleon, beginning with Austerlitz," says Victoria Pavlenko.

Nazimov lost 16 horses to the enemy, but he survived. The brave hussar was even awarded two thousand rubles from the treasury—"as compensation for his loss and in recognition of his distinguished service."

Two miles from Moscow: a military council in Fili

Near the museum is a memorial stone, "Two Miles from Moscow," and the restored hut of peasant Mikhail Frolov, where the very same council of war took place, at which Kutuzov made the difficult and correct decision to abandon Moscow without a fight after the Battle of Borodino. The hut hosts master classes andexcursionsAnd in the museum, you can see a copy of the painting "Military Council at Fili in 1812" by Alexei Kivshenko.

One of the halls features a reconstruction of a partisan camp. Here, the story told by Denis Davydov comes to life. "One day, a hungry, ragged 15-year-old French drummer named Vincent Bode wandered into their camp near Maloyaroslavets," continues Victoria Pavlenko. The boy traveled with Davydov's unit to Paris. There, the now-mature youth was returned to his parents.

Chessboard of Empires: Three Games with Napoleon

Exhibition "Mate in three moves in a difficult game" offers a look at the military confrontation between Russia and France in the early 19th century through the metaphor of chess. The exhibition builds a narrative around three key battles: Austerlitz (1805), Borodino (1812), and Leipzig (1813). These are three games in a grand game, in which each side learned from its mistakes.

Russia's first game, lost, was a harsh lesson. A statement by Napoleon, quoted by Victoria Pavlenko, illustrates his attitude toward that confrontation: "In a conversation with Prince Repnin-Volkonsky, who, incidentally, was one of the prototypes for Andrei Bolkonsky in War and Peace, Napoleon expressed the idea that Alexander I was bound to lose, because for him, this battle was the first, and for Napoleon, the fortieth."

This is the very battle in which Tolstoy's hero, Prince Bolkonsky, was wounded. Under the "sky of Austerlitz" (the expression has become a byword), he reassesses life's values: "…Yes! Everything is empty, everything is a deception, except this endless sky…" The army's leadership also had to rethink much after this battle.

Fakes of the 19th century

Fake news is not a modern invention. After the defeat at Austerlitz, information about the mass deaths of retreating Russian troops was widely circulated. This moment is depicted in a "reliable" 19th-century French engraving, "The Battle of Austerlitz." But this is a myth, started by Napoleon himself. It was claimed that 20,000 people drowned. "There were no lakes on the field of the Battle of Austerlitz. There were two ponds, Meninsky and Zhatchansky. The Russian troops retreated between the two ponds, and there was absolutely no reason for them to rush en masse onto the thin ice of the ponds," argues Victoria Pavlenko.

After the battle, the ponds were drained. No people were found at the bottom of the Meninskoye. General Suchet's report states that "138 horse corpses and three human bodies" were found at the bottom of the Zhatchanskoye—clearly not the 20,000 claimed.

Chess game between Napoleon, Alexander I and Kutuzov

The exhibition features a memorable chess set. These are modern pieces (2012), but captivating in their detail. On the board are Alexander I, Napoleon, Kutuzov, Davout, and Murat. This is a reconstruction of a game devised by the Russian chess master Alexander Petrov in 1823. As a child, he witnessed the war.

"The game is called 'Napoleon's Flight from Moscow to Paris,' where the kings are Napoleon and Alexander I. Checkmate is achieved in 14 moves," explains Victoria Pavlenko.

Borodino and Leipzig: from draw to victory

The next set—Borodino—is presented as a turning point. Of particular interest are the engravings by the German artist Albrecht Adam, who accompanied the 4th Corps under the command of Napoleon's stepson, Eugène de Beauharnais. Three engravings depict three days of Napoleon's campaign: the day before, the day of the Battle of Borodino, and immediately after—the alarm, the battle, and the devastation.

The Battle of Leipzig went down in history as the Battle of the Nations, as coalitions fought on both sides. It was a final victory, from which the Napoleonic Empire never recovered.

The exhibition features an engraving by an unknown artist depicting a small scene: Alexander I during the Battle of Leipzig. "The engraving is called 'Alexander I Praying During the Battle of the Nations at Leipzig in 1813.' It is known that he was near the village of Gross, where the fighting took place on the first day. He prayed for a successful outcome for the united army," concludes Victoria Pavlenko.

October 18 at the Panorama Museum The Battle of Borodino The building on Kutuzovsky Prospekt celebrates its 63rd anniversary. On this day, tours will be held at the panorama's observation deck, which is usually off-limits to visitors, and a festive program is planned.

You can still get to one more exhibition before the end of October – Waterloo: The Last Battle.

There's a running joke at the museum that Muscovites come here at least three times in their lives: as children, then with their children and grandchildren. There's a fair amount of truth to this joke—the museum appeals to a variety of people, and at every age, they rethink the history of the decisive battles in a new way.
