Dmitry Patrushev spoke at the Russian Wine Forum "Wine of Russia. The First Five-Year Plan"

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev spoke at the Russian Wine Forum "Wine of Russia. The First Five-Year Plan." The Deputy Prime Minister reported that in the five years since the federal law "On Viticulture and Winemaking in the Russian Federation" came into effect, production volumes in the country have increased significantly.

Dmitry Patrushev noted that these past few years have been a true breakthrough for the domestic industry – a qualitative change in approaches, an increase in professionalism, and the establishment of clear and understandable rules for winemaking in Russia that meet international standards have had a positive impact on performance and enabled the creation of a competitive product.

"We've surpassed the 110,000-hectare mark in vineyard area, 14% higher than in 2020. This is one of the highest growth rates among leading grape-growing countries. More than a third of our vineyards are young, meaning we have good potential for development. By the end of 2025, we should reach at least another 5,000 hectares," said the Deputy Prime Minister.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, despite challenging weather conditions this year, the harvest is forecast to be approximately 870,000 tons, comparable to the record-breaking 2024. This year's growth rate is approximately 3%. This trend is expected to continue throughout the year.

In 2025, over 4 billion rubles have been allocated for the implementation of a federal project for the industry. Under this project, producers receive subsidies for planting and maintaining vineyards, as well as for purchasing materials and equipment.

The most important factor in improving the situation was the government's appropriate excise policy—in particular, the possibility of tax deductions for products made from domestic raw materials. The introduced regulatory measures resulted in the complete replacement of foreign wine materials with domestic ones and a reduction in wine imports by almost a third compared to last year.

Dmitry Patrushev emphasized that the share of domestically produced wine in wine consumption has begun to increase. This year alone, it has grown from 58% to 63%. The selection of Russian wines in retail and food service establishments is steadily expanding.

The Deputy Prime Minister also touched on the topic of wine tourism, which is rapidly developing in Russia. Up to a million people visit domestic wineries annually.

The government is committed to creating the necessary opportunities and consistently resolving outstanding issues. The Russian President has instructed that the land issue for the construction of wine tourism facilities be resolved by the end of 2025. Dmitry Patrushev announced that the State Duma has adopted in its first reading a draft federal law that will define the relevant rules and restrictions. The document has passed its first reading, is being prepared for a second reading, and is expected to be fully implemented in 2026.

Dmitry Chernyshenko held a meeting on risks associated with the construction and overhaul of educational facilities in 2025.

A meeting on risks associated with the construction and overhaul of educational facilities in 2025 was held at the Government Coordination Center, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

"This year, major repairs are scheduled for approximately 1,500 general education, vocational, and preschool buildings, as well as the opening of 58 construction projects. The Russian Ministry of Education has compiled a register of 28 projects with newly identified risks of not being completed by the end of the year. Today, the task of regional governors is not simply to identify problems, but to formulate specific, targeted instructions with clear target dates and responsible parties," noted Dmitry Chernyshenko.

Minister of Education Sergei Kravtsov noted that systemic solutions are needed for those who fail to implement infrastructure projects on time.

"According to the Ministry of Education, a decision was made earlier this year to postpone the completion of 77 new educational infrastructure facilities and 55 major renovation projects until 2026. "All regions were warned that there would be no further postponements after September. However, we are identifying instances of a number of regions concealing problems. Let me remind you that failure to meet deadlines is unacceptable – it constitutes a failure to implement the measures of the 'Youth and Children' and 'Family' national projects, which we are implementing at the direction of Russian President Vladimir Putin," the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.

The meeting was attended by representatives from regions where construction and major repairs of educational facilities are delayed: Khabarovsk and Kamchatka Krais; Zaporizhia, Pskov, Kaliningrad, Amur, Arkhangelsk, Ivanovo, Samara, Tambov, Kherson, Kostroma, Ryazan, and Vladimir Oblasts; Kemerovo Oblast – Kuzbass; the Komi Republic, the Republic of Khakassia, the Republic of Udmurtia, and the Jewish Autonomous Oblast. They presented reports on the current situation at these facilities.

"We've been monitoring large-scale educational facility construction and overhaul programs almost daily since the first days of 2025. The draft state budget allocates all necessary funds for infrastructure programs. Most regions are fulfilling their obligations on time. And it's important for us to be confident that everything will be implemented in full," said Sergey Kravtsov.

Additional financial liability has been established for failure to achieve results for the completion of major repairs, and regulations have been introduced to reduce the volume of subsidies for the following year while maintaining the regions' obligations.

At Russian MFCs, you can now access services without visiting a specialist or presenting your passport, thanks to dedicated self-service kiosks equipped with a digital assistant and integrated with the state's unified biometric system. The new service was presented to Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko at the "Digital Solutions" IT Forum.

The service allows for reliable biometric verification of applicants, and a built-in AI assistant helps them complete the required service. The final document or certificate can be downloaded via QR code or received in hard copy. The first self-service kiosks are planned to be installed in Lipetsk's multifunctional centers in the coming months.

"Biometric services are already available in four Russian regions, and two more are preparing to implement them. The next step is identity verification and service delivery without interacting with a specialist, which will make the customer journey even easier. Furthermore, biometrics are voluntary, and customers can always choose how to apply for the service—either with an MFC employee or at a self-service kiosk," noted Dmitry Grigorenko.

The use of this service will speed up the processing of applicants and reduce the workload of My Documents centre staff.

"We see growing interest in biometric services at MFCs. Thousands of people in pilot regions are already using this opportunity. We believe the implementation of the new AI-assisted solution will make visiting My Documents centers even more convenient and will allow us to serve applicants one and a half to two times faster," said Vladislav Povolotsky, CEO of the Biometric Technologies Center.

To use the service, you need to register your verified biometrics. This can be done at authorized bank branches or at home using the on-site registration service.

Self-service at MFCs is part of the Migom service platform, implemented using the state-owned unified biometric system. The platform includes services such as passport-free hotel check-in, age verification when purchasing age-restricted goods, barrier-free pre-flight security checks, express train boarding, and more.

The 11th season of the National Technology Olympiad

The results of the application campaign for the 11th season of the National Technology Olympiad (NTO) have been announced. More than 226,000 students in grades 5–11 and colleges participated. This academic year, applications were submitted by participants from all regions of Russia, as well as from countries including Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia, and Turkmenistan.

The Olympiad Organizing Committee is headed by First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office of Russia Sergei Kiriyenko and Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Chernyshenko.

"Over the course of the National Technology Olympiad, more than 1 million schoolchildren and students have participated—a significant indicator of the demand for engineering and science among young people today. Over its 11 years, the Olympiad has grown into a major national platform where schoolchildren and students from across the country master modern technologies, solve real-world problems, and begin their professional careers. It is especially important that the NTO helps develop the human resources necessary for Russia's technological leadership—a national goal set by our President, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin," noted Deputy Prime Minister and NTO Organizing Committee Co-Chair Dmitry Chernyshenko.

This year, the National Technology Olympiad for high school students includes 35 tracks, with the student track covering seven areas. NTO participants solve real-world problems in the most promising fields of science and technology: from robotics and genome editing to financial technology and space systems development. The tasks are developed in collaboration with leading universities and technology companies across the country.

In the finals, schoolchildren and students will experience teamwork, modern equipment, and meeting like-minded individuals and task developers. Winners and runners-up in most scientific and technical training (NTO) profiles for grades 8–11, as included in the Order of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, will receive 100 Unified State Exam (USE) points and the right to enroll in leading Russian universities without entrance examinations. The best Olympiad participants will be invited to internships at technology and IT companies. The winning students will receive preferential admission to master's programs at partner universities and the opportunity to complete internships with potential employment opportunities.

"Following the application campaign, 'Computer Game Development' became the most popular program among high school students for the first time, with over 8,000 registered. 'Artificial Intelligence' came in second, with over 7,000 participants. 'Business Process Automation' came in third, with 5,000 students applying. It's gratifying that the Higher School of Economics is organizing these scientific and technological areas," emphasized Nikita Anisimov, Rector of the Higher School of Economics and Deputy Co-Chair of the Olympiad Organizing Committee. "Over the past few years, the Olympiad has become a tool for informed career choices. We look forward to welcoming these motivated students among our students in the future."

Following the application process for the senior track of the NTO for students in grades 8–11, the Novosibirsk Region received the most applications—35,185 participants. The top five regions also included St. Petersburg (13,682), Moscow (12,070), the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug—Yugra (9,009), and the Moscow Region (8,676).

58% of Olympiad participants are boys and 42% are girls. In terms of age distribution, tenth-graders lead the senior track (29.5%), followed by ninth-graders (26%) and eleventh-graders (24%).

"For many participants, the Scientific and Technical Project has opened the door to the world of technology and teamwork. We see how schoolchildren grow with the project: they start with simpler tasks in fifth grade, participating in junior competitions, and within a few years, they're winning the senior track, receiving bonuses for admission to leading universities in the country, and invitations to internships. This demonstrates sustained interest and the fact that the Scientific and Technical Project of the presidential platform truly helps shape development paths in engineering and science and creates opportunities for the growth and development of talented young people," noted Andrey Betin, CEO of the Presidential Platform "Russia – Land of Opportunities" and Rector of the Senezh Management Workshop.

The Olympiad is holding its seventh NTO Junior track for students in grades 5–7. This year, 23,990 students from 86 regions of Russia, as well as Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Mongolia, applied. From November 10th to 18th, the Junior Track finals are taking place in 64 regions across the country. A total of 4,950 participants have received invitations to the final rounds. Finalists will compete in seven competitive areas: virtual reality, artificial intelligence, computer games, space, robotics, habitats, and cyber-physical systems.

In November and December, the qualifying round of the National Technology Olympiad for high school and university students continues, with teams solving complex problems in their chosen fields. The finals of the 11th season of the National Technology Olympiad will be held from February to April 2026 at leading universities and partner technology companies in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Vladivostok, Novosibirsk, Samara, Tomsk, Tyumen, and other cities.

The National Technology Olympiad is the first and largest team engineering competition for schoolchildren and students in Russia. The NTO is coordinated by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science in conjunction with the Presidential Platform "Russia – Land of Opportunity" as part of the national project "Youth and Children," with the support of the Movement of the First, the Agency for Strategic Initiatives, and the NTI Platform. The Olympiad's project office is based at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, with methodological support from the NTI Circle Movement.
