Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko, along with Arkhangelsk Region Governor Alexander Tsybulsky, met with the leadership of the Arkhangelsk education system and School No. 7. They explored the capabilities of the phygital center, which opened in early February at the largest secondary school in Pomorye, and assessed its operations and current curricula.

"In the Arkhangelsk Region, under the national project 'Youth and Children,' an inter-university campus is being established, the 'Zemsky Teacher' program is being implemented, and the educational infrastructure is being improved. Ahead of Mentor Day, established by decree of President Vladimir Putin, we met with the leadership of the education system and the school where the 'IT Cube' and phygital center are open. There is much to be proud of and room for improvement. I am confident that the school will be able to fully realize its potential, including the growth of the phygital movement. I congratulate all the mentors in the region on the upcoming holiday!" the Deputy Prime Minister said.

The Phygital Center was created at the behest of the regional governor as part of the federal project "Business Sprint (I Choose Sports)" to develop new sports in the region and encourage regular physical activity among schoolchildren through the phygital movement, which combines physical exercise and digital technologies.

The sports cluster features functional spaces with areas for eSports and traditional sports. The new center offers unique training and competition opportunities that combine physical activity and digital technology. The complex features a modern computer room with powerful gaming computers and a dedicated area for console and virtual reality gaming. A VR simulator and gaming consoles have also been installed. "This creates an attractive space where our youth can develop their talents and, most importantly, improve their health. The opening of the center will definitely increase the number of young people interested in the phygital field," noted Alexander Tsybulsky.

Arkhangelsk School No. 7 also boasts three gyms and a swimming pool. Last fall, a new football field, built to Russian Football Union standards, opened on the school grounds. Combined with a modern phygital center equipped with the latest technology, the school's infrastructure allows for the development of phygital disciplines such as eSports, laser tag, drone racing, martial arts, competitive programming, and basketball and football combined events.

School No. 7 also houses an "IT Cube," which, unlike the Quantoriums, is a digital education center with a focus on information technology. Students here follow programs designed to accelerate the development of relevant and in-demand IT skills, and also learn about programming, robotics, and hardware. Students can develop apps and explore virtual and augmented reality. Modern computer equipment has been purchased for this purpose, enabling them to work with large databases and effectively teach programming languages.

Order No. 378-r of February 26, 2026

By 2030, Russia plans to launch a proactive model for providing state support to industrial enterprises based on the state industrial information system. The goal of creating such an automated service is included in the updated strategic direction for digital transformation (SDDT) of manufacturing industries. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed an order approving the relevant amendments to the current document.

The updated strategic direction also clarifies the priority goals and objectives of digital transformation. By 2030, at least 80% of Russian enterprises and companies in the manufacturing industry must transition to using Russian software in systems supporting core production and management processes. By the same date, the use of Russian software in companies and organizations with over 50% state participation must increase to 95%.

The introduction of advanced information technologies should impact production volumes. By 2030, it is expected to increase by at least 40% compared to 2022 levels.

The strategic direction for digital transformation in the manufacturing industry was approved by the Government in November 2023. It envisages the implementation of five key ecosystem projects: "Smart Manufacturing," "Digital Engineering," "Products of the Future," "Trusted Solutions," and "Intelligent State Support."

Since the SNCT is part of the Consolidated Strategy for the Development of the Manufacturing Industry until 2030 and for the period until 2035, corresponding changes were also made to this document.

Marat Khusnullin: More than 1.1 million square meters of housing have been commissioned in the North Caucasus Federal District since 2021 thanks to infrastructure loans.

The North Caucasus Federal District comprises seven regions: the republics of Dagestan, Ingushetia, North Ossetia-Alania, the Kabardino-Balkarian, Karachay-Cherkess, and Chechen republics, and Stavropol Krai. Their infrastructure development is facilitated, among other things, by financial support mechanisms such as infrastructure budget loans (IBK), special treasury loans (STL), and treasury infrastructure loans (TIL).

"The positive impact of infrastructure loans is reflected not only in the opening of new and renovated facilities but also in comprehensive changes in the regions. Projects implemented with the involvement of IBC and SKK in the North Caucasus Federal District since 2021 have contributed to the commissioning of 1.1 million square meters of housing, the attraction of 119.6 billion rubles in extra-budgetary investment, and the creation of more than 13,600 new jobs," said Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

He added that the leaders in the commissioning of residential real estate were the Stavropol Territory (548.9 thousand sq. m), the Chechen Republic (396.7 thousand sq. m), the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania (93.9 thousand sq. m), and the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (80 thousand sq. m).

First Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Alexander Lomakin reported that a total of 74 projects and activities are planned to be completed in the North Caucasus Federal District using budget loans.

"Since 2021, 49 projects and activities have been completed in the North Caucasus Federal District thanks to the infrastructure loan program. Furthermore, with funds from the IBC and SKK, 45 trolleybuses have been delivered to the regions in Stavropol Krai and 488 buses to the Kabardino-Balkarian, Karachay-Cherkess, Chechen, Ingushetia, North Ossetia-Alania, and Stavropol Krai," said Alexander Lomakin.

Vasily Kupyzin, CEO of the Territorial Development Fund, reported that in 2025, the Government Commission for Regional Development also approved treasury infrastructure loans totaling 23.35 billion rubles for the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District.

"In total, KIK funds are planned to be allocated to 15 projects and activities. For example, in Stavropol Krai, water intake facilities with a capacity of 300,000 cubic meters per day will be built. And in the Republic of Dagestan, thanks to KIK, construction of the Chirkey-Makhachkala-Kaspiysk main water pipeline and a pressure line from Makhachkala's main sewage pumping station No. 6 to the Kaspiysk wastewater treatment plant will be completed," added Vasily Kupyzin.

The infrastructure loan program is supervised by the Russian Ministry of Construction, and the Territorial Development Fund is participating in its implementation.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko arrived in the Arkhangelsk Region on a working visit. The Deputy Prime Minister welcomed participants of the all-Russian strategic session "More Than a Journey," assessed the infrastructure of the regional youth center, and reviewed the progress of construction of the "Arctic Star" inter-university campus.

Dmitry Chernyshenko urged that when developing new routes, remember that tourism must have a meaningful component.

"It's wonderful that the strategy session is taking place in Arkhangelsk—our place of strength, not far from Solovki. We are currently preparing to celebrate the 600th anniversary of the founding of the first monastic settlement on the Solovetsky Archipelago. It's important for you to remember that travel, especially the creation of new routes that you will be involved in, should also have a meaningful purpose beyond simply admiring natural beauty," he said.

The Deputy Prime Minister briefed the participants on the work being done to prepare Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin's strategic tourism sessions and his personal travel experiences. Dmitry Chernyshenko also recounted how, as a child, he trained at a sports camp in the areas where Soviet soldiers stopped the Edelweiss Mountain Rifle Division. He described this as an example of how the coaches combined search and rescue work, patriotic education, and physical activity.

The Deputy Prime Minister also reported on the development of tourism for his protégé in the "Time of Heroes" program, Andrei Brovkin, holder of two Orders of Courage.

"He has completed training and become a specialist in one of the most dynamically developing sectors of our country's economy, which encompasses over 50 different areas – tourism. You are engaged in an interesting, attractive, and cost-effective business. Jobs and revenues for the economy will depend on how competitive you make our infrastructure, how well you find the right stories and places in your routes to attract our audience. And most importantly – attitudes toward our country, love for the Motherland, and education," noted Dmitry Chernyshenko.

During the strategy session, he advised participants to start with a measurable and achievable goal, an analysis of the situation and challenges: “I give you the following: you will succeed!”

Arkhangelsk Region Governor Alexander Tsybulsky emphasized that expedition tourism is a promising direction for Pomorye.

"Expeditions are primarily for discovery, and the North is probably the only landmass on Earth today that remains largely unknown and therefore very interesting. People today want to go on expeditions, experience extreme experiences, delve into their discomfort zone, and pay for it. If we can make expedition tourism a fully-fledged sector of the tourism economy, that would be fantastic," said Alexander Tsybulsky.

Representatives from nine regions participated in a strategic session on expedition route planning. Last year, three themed expeditions took place in the Tver Region, the Altai Krai, and a route from Adygea to the Krasnodar Krai. At the strategy session at the youth center, the development prospects for these areas and plans for 2026 were discussed. The expeditions will take place in more than 10 regions, including the Arkhangelsk Region. More than 500 people will travel as part of the project.

According to Stanislav Kireyev, Deputy Head of the Rosmolodezh Program "More Than a Journey," the Arkhangelsk Region was chosen as the location for the strategic session because it is home to the Pole Center for Young Researchers, which was opened at the behest of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Dmitry Chernyshenko and Alexander Tsybulsky also visited the Arkhangelsk Region Youth Media Center and the year-round skate park. The Deputy Prime Minister also learned about the activities of the Polyus Center for Young Researchers, which brings together regional and federal initiatives to create a sustainable ecosystem for supporting young scientists and engineers.

"For the region, training young people for future careers in the IT sector is a crucial priority; it represents the future of a wide range of economic sectors. In this regard, combining our resources and the capabilities of Rosmolodezh is of great practical importance," emphasized Alexander Tsybulsky.

This year, the region will host the "Technical Thought Workshop," the "Engineering the Future" program, the All-Russian Forum of Young Scientists "Pole," a scientific and technical creativity festival, and specialized schools, including on the Solovetsky Archipelago. Young people will have the opportunity to master 3D modeling, work with drones, solve real-world industrial problems, and participate in interdisciplinary research, seeing the practical results of their efforts.

Dmitry Chernyshenko also presented a report on the progress of construction of the Arctic Star inter-university campus, which is being created as part of the Youth and Children national project.

Governor Alexander Tsybulsky reported that construction work on the Arctic Star inter-university campus in Arkhangelsk is currently proceeding as planned, with no deviations from the approved schedule.

"Over 120 workers and over 30 pieces of specialized equipment are involved in the construction site. The pace of work ensures that key stages are completed on time," said Alexander Tsybulsky.

Dmitry Chernyshenko emphasized the importance of meeting deadlines and constantly monitoring the progress of construction work.

Order No. 373-r of February 26, 2026

Accelerating the transition of Russia's fuel and energy sector to a new technological level through the use of domestic digital technologies is the primary goal of the updated strategic direction for the digital transformation of the fuel and energy sector through 2036. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed the order approving this document.

A priority in addressing this challenge will be the use of Russian base and application software in systems supporting core production and management processes at energy sector enterprises and organizations. By 2030, this figure should reach 80% across the industry.

Another important area of work will be the participation of fuel and energy companies and organizations in cybertesting aimed at identifying vulnerabilities and developing methodological recommendations for protecting sensitive information. By 2030, at least 100 companies and organizations should participate in this effort, and by 2036, this number should increase to 500. Based on the test results, a cyber resilience rating for fuel and energy companies will be compiled.

Along with cyber resilience testing, artificial intelligence technology and other digital solutions in the energy and fuel and energy sectors are also planned for testing. The tests will be conducted at a dedicated industry testing facility, scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2027.

Achieving the goals and objectives set by the strategic direction is impossible without training qualified personnel. To this end, the strategic program for the development of school energy classes, "Russian Engineering School – 2030," is planned to be launched at the end of 2027. Its goal is to establish cooperation between schools, secondary and higher educational institutions, and industry companies.

The strategic directions for the digital transformation of key economic and social sectors are sectoral strategic planning documents developed by the Government at the direction of the President. They are aligned with existing state programs and national projects and are approved for the period up to 2036. To ensure the documents remain relevant, they may be amended annually.

Yuri Trutnev chaired a meeting of the organizing committee for the preparation and holding of the XI Eastern Economic Forum.

A meeting of the organizing committee for the XI Eastern Economic Forum (EEF), which will be held from September 1 to 4, 2026, in Vladivostok, was held in Moscow. The EEF is being organized by the Roscongress Foundation with the support of the Russian Government.

"The Eastern Economic Forum is being held under the leadership of Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and is boosting the development of the Far East. Currently, more than 3,000 investment projects worth a total of 13.5 trillion rubles are being implemented in the Far East, of which 6 trillion rubles have been invested, including 1 trillion rubles over the past year. This is an important result, achieved despite the efforts of numerous unfriendly countries to hinder us. As part of these investment projects, more than 1,000 enterprises have been commissioned and over 180,000 jobs have been created. Last year, the EEF was attended by over 8,000 participants from 75 countries. We continue to communicate with our international partners and develop the Far East and Russia," said Yury Trutnev, Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District and Chairman of the EEF Organizing Committee, opening the meeting.

During the meeting, general aspects of the forum's preparation were discussed, including the content of its business program, as well as the preparation of urban infrastructure.

"The Eastern Economic Forum is currently one of the key development tools for the Russian Far East and an important platform for implementing national development goals. In 2026, declared the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia, the forum will focus on the humanitarian dimension of development. The "Soul of Russia" project, which was already presented at the anniversary EEF, will unite traditions, modern ideas, and the cultural diversity of the country's peoples and will highlight the unique features of our multinational country through the creative cluster. This will strengthen the Far East's position as a hub for interaction between the cultures and civilizations of the Asia-Pacific region," noted Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President of Russia, Deputy Chairman of the Organizing Committee and Executive Secretary.

The organizing committee discussed the theme of the upcoming event. "Ten years is a good time to take stock. One of the topics will be an analysis of the implementation of the President's instructions issued following previous forums. We are holding the EEF not for the sake of the forum itself, but to achieve results. The results are defined by the instructions of the head of state. The second important issue is technological development. Today, without technological advancement, the development of the Far East and the entire country is impossible," said Yuri Trutnev.

Furthermore, the business program proposed highlighting issues related to the development of energy and transport infrastructure, discussing mechanisms for attracting private investment and government support measures, and discussing aspects of human resources policy. Special attention will be paid to the implementation of master plans for Far Eastern cities and improving the quality of life. As usual, industry-specific business sessions will be organized to discuss the implementation of investment projects.

The 4th International Forum "Falcon Day" will take place on the opening day of the EEF, having already become a highlight of the forum. The "Far East Street" exhibition will traditionally showcase the achievements, unique culture, customs, and cuisine of the Russian Far East, as well as the economic potential of the regions.

The 2026 Eastern Economic Forum will feature a strengthened international sports component. The Parade of Sails will take place for the fifth time, bringing together over 1,000 sailors and young yachtsmen in Amur Bay, including professional foreign yachtsmen from China and other friendly countries.

The results of the all-Russian competition to identify volunteer recruitment and training centers for the International Youth Festival (IYF-2026), which will be held in September in Yekaterinburg, have been announced. This is the largest international youth event of 2026. The festival is being held under the national project "Youth and Children."

"This year, at the direction of President Vladimir Putin, the International Youth Festival will be held as part of the 'Youth and Children' national project. Volunteers will assist 10,000 participants throughout the festival in Yekaterinburg. For this purpose, 28 of the most successful volunteer recruitment and training centers in 23 regions were selected through a competitive process from 60 applications from 39 Russian regions, including Donbas and Novorossiya. They will set a high bar for the quality of volunteer selection and training and ensure a high-quality international event," noted Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that Russia has unique experience in volunteerism. Since 2025, the federal project "We Are Together" under the national project "Youth and Children" has been a key instrument for developing volunteerism. Thanks to this project, specialized infrastructure is being created in the country, educational programs for volunteers are being implemented, and charitable initiatives are receiving additional support. More than 9.4 million volunteers are already registered on the digital platform "Dobro.RF," more than 1,000 "Dobro.Centers" have been established across the country, and the number of events supported by volunteers has reached almost 1.3 million.

The World Youth Festival Directorate, together with Dobro.RF, held a competition to identify volunteer recruitment and training centers for the 2026 World Youth Festival on January 22. Volunteer and non-profit organizations, resource centers, universities, colleges, NGOs, and government agencies with proven experience in recruiting, selecting, and training volunteers, serving as infrastructure operators for volunteerism and youth programs, were eligible to participate.

Based on the results of the competition, volunteer recruitment and training centers for the 2026 IMF will operate in the Arkhangelsk, Vologda, Yaroslavl, Volgograd, Rostov, Omsk, Tomsk, Sverdlovsk, Tyumen, Zaporizhzhya, and Nizhny Novgorod regions; Primorsky, Altai, Krasnoyarsk, Krasnodar, Perm, Stavropol, and Khabarovsk territories; the Donetsk People's Republic; the Republics of Bashkortostan and Tatarstan; St. Petersburg; and Moscow.

"We received 9,000 applications from volunteers to join the International Youth Festival volunteer corps. These volunteers will become co-organizers of one of the largest international youth events: they will assist with accommodation, logistics, accreditation, participant navigation, program organization, protocol support for guests, media relations, and much more. The volunteers' hospitality and respectful attitude toward participants and guests of our country inspire them to fall in love with Russia's culture, history, and traditions. It is important to us that every guest of our country sees the real Russia, where we are open to everyone and ready to create a multipolar world together," emphasized Grigory Gurov, head of Rosmolodezh.

At the 2026 IFM site, volunteers will be deployed across 17 functional areas, covering all key aspects of organizing and hosting the event.

"Russia has repeatedly welcomed talented young people from all over the world, and hosting large-scale festivals is becoming a great tradition. Volunteers will be tasked with a wide range of tasks: from accreditation and logistics to simultaneous interpretation and escorting official delegations. They will assist medical personnel, create a comfortable environment for participants with limited mobility, and even shape the information agenda, interacting with the media and creating content for social media. The Dobro.RF ecosystem will also be a partner in this valuable program. As part of regional expeditions, volunteers will show foreigners the beauty of Russia: from the Ural Mountains to the vast expanses of the Far East," said Artyom Metelev, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Youth Policy and Head of Dobro.RF.

Registration for the 2026 MFM volunteer corps will be open on the Dobro.RF platform until March 31: http://dobro.ru/event/11434992

The International Youth Festival will be held from September 11 to 17, 2026, in Yekaterinburg, the capital of the Urals. The event, held by decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin, will become a key platform for dialogue among young people from around the world who are ready to take responsibility for the future of the planet.

The festival is part of the World Youth Festival 2024 (WYF-2024) family of events, which took place in the Sirius Federal District and brought together 20,000 participants from 190 countries. To preserve and develop this legacy, in accordance with the instructions of Russian President Vladimir Putin, international youth events are held in Russia annually. For example, in September 2025, Nizhny Novgorod hosted the World Youth Festival gathering, attended by 2,000 representatives from 120 countries.
