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. You can watch one series or all five and perfectly understand the plot. Castings were held — both professional and non-professional actors participated, and even our employees,” Olga Ilyintseva shares the details.

The ZIL Cultural Center has five halls: a large hall, a small hall, a column hall, a hall-constructor and a lecture hall, as well as auditoriums. These spaces allow festivals, markets, exhibitions, concerts, lectures, performances and film screenings to be held. The cultural center has its own library.

You can buy tickets and register for events at the ZIL Cultural Center using the service "Mosbilet".

Cultural centers form an intellectual and creative environment in Moscow districts. They dispel the myth of residential suburbs, expanding the geography of the capital's cultural life and bringing to life the idea of decentralizing culture.

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.

About two thousand special QR codes have appeared in buses of commercial carriers operating on capital routes under state contracts. With their help, passengers can rate a trip or share their opinion on the work of urban ground transport.

"We continue to improve the quality of passenger service, as instructed by Sergei Sobyanin. Commercial carriers' buses now have QR codes with the ability to rate the trip and share opinions on the operation of ground transport. Now the survey can be taken on all buses and electric buses in the city – in total, we have placed 18 thousand QR codes. We ask passengers to participate – all responses will be taken into account when further improving the route network," said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry

Maxim Liksutov.

To use the QR code, point your phone camera at it and follow the link. A questionnaire will open, with which you can answer questions about traveling by bus or electric bus, tell about the route from home to the stop, and also evaluate the route and suggest adjusting the route network.

The city is systematically collecting feedback from ground transportation passengers. The survey is open-ended and can be completed at any time. Based on the data received, specialists improve the capital's transportation.

Earlier, in the north-east of the capital, special QR codes were placed at 40 stops in a pilot mode. With their help, passengers can go to a page with a questionnaire and leave a review of their trip on ground transport, as well as their suggestions. The same QR codes are already in the entire fleet of the State Unitary Enterprise Mosgortrans.
