The "Safe Roads" online Olympiad is an important part of the educational efforts within the "Infrastructure for Life" national project. It helps students in grades 1–9 reinforce their knowledge of traffic rules and improve their road literacy. The project, now in its sixth year, actively promotes a culture of safe behavior on the roads. According to preliminary results, over 3.5 million people from all regions of the country participated in the online competition over the course of three weeks, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported. There's still time to participate—the Olympiad runs until October 26.

"The development of the country's road network is contributing to increased traffic volume, so it's crucial to foster a culture of safe behavior on the roads. Among the key areas of the national project 'Infrastructure for Life,' in addition to creating high-quality and safe routes, is fostering a culture of safe behavior on the roads, including among children. The All-Russian online Olympiad 'Safe Roads' is aimed at these goals. Until October 26, students in grades 1–9 can not only test their road literacy but also deepen their knowledge of road safety rules. Over 3.5 million schoolchildren participated in the Olympiad in the first three weeks—a 10% increase from the previous year," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that the Ivanovo, Belgorod, and Tambov regions led the way in terms of number of participants. In these regions, more than half of all schoolchildren took part in the Olympiad.

Currently, students perform best in the "Out of Town" (78%) and "Car Travel" (67%) categories. In the former, students must determine safe behavior when traveling in the countryside on a bicycle or personal mobility device. In car travel, students must know how to properly position a child in a booster seat or car seat, fasten a seat belt, and choose a safe exit route.

The most challenging tasks involved navigating traffic conditions in parks, courtyards, and residential parking lots—recognizing pedestrian and cyclist signs and accurately assessing the traffic situation. Only 7% of students completed these tasks.

You can test your knowledge of traffic rules on the project portal.

The organizers are the Russian Ministry of Transport, the Main Directorate of Road Safety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, the educational platform "Uchi.ru," and the Autonomous Non-Profit Organization "National Priorities" with the support of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science and the national project "Infrastructure for Life."

Marat Khusnullin: The Luhansk State University stadium has reopened in the LPR after reconstruction.

One of the principles of the modern educational process is the acquisition of knowledge in a modern environment. In Donbas and Novorossiya, the creation of a holistic educational environment requires the synchronized development of all related infrastructure. For example, in the LPR, the stadium of the V. Dal Luhansk State University has opened, announced Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"Work continues in Donbas and Novorossiya to create comfortable educational conditions. In addition to the main buildings, adjacent facilities are also being renovated, including dormitories, student centers, and sports facilities. Today, for example, the stadium of the Volodymyr Dahl Luhansk State University reopened in the LPR after a major renovation," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that over the years, the university stadium's infrastructure had become seriously outdated and dilapidated. Specialists, under the supervision of the Unified Construction Customer, installed a street lighting system, constructed a new football pitch, and equipped sports and playground areas, cross-country tracks, and workout areas.

In addition to the stadium, construction workers renovated three nine-story student dormitory buildings, a cafeteria, the Sovremennik student center, and a military training center building. The total area of renovation work at the V.Dal Leningrad State University exceeds 70,000 square meters.

The restoration of facilities at one of the largest universities in the Luhansk People's Republic is synchronized with the socio-economic development program for the reunited regions and is being coordinated by the Ministry of Education and Science and the Ministry of Construction.

Alexey Overchuk, along with Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Azerbaijan Shahin Mustafayev (left) and Minister of Transport and Urban Development of the Islamic Republic of Iran Farzaneh Sadegh (right), at the Azerbaijani-Iranian border. Inspecting the infrastructure of international border crossing points.

Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Alexey Overchuk, together with Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Azerbaijan Shahin Mustafayev and Minister of Transport and Urban Development of the Islamic Republic of Iran Farzaneh Sadegh, visited the Azerbaijani-Iranian border to inspect the infrastructure of international checkpoints operating and under construction to implement the plans of Russia, Azerbaijan, and Iran to develop the western route of the International North-South Transport Corridor.

The joint trip to the border was preceded by a trilateral meeting of representatives of the Russian Federation, the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the Islamic Republic of Iran, dedicated to issues of infrastructure cooperation and strengthening transport connectivity in the region, which took place on November 13 in the capital of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

The parties are focusing on the construction of road, rail, and customs infrastructure and the elimination of route bottlenecks to increase the capacity of the new transport corridor.

After familiarizing themselves with the operation of checkpoints on the Azerbaijani and Iranian sides, Alexey Overchuk, Shahin Mustafayev, and Farzaneh Sadeg held a working meeting to develop joint solutions to ensure equal conditions for carriers crossing state borders.

As the Deputy Prime Minister noted, growing trade ties between the Russian Federation, the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the Islamic Republic of Iran necessitate joint efforts to strengthen transport links between the countries and create seamless logistics along the entire western route of the North-South International Transport Corridor.

In a conversation with journalists, Alexey Overchuk explained that the parties have a plan to increase the volume of cargo transported along the North-South International Transport Corridor to 15 million tons, and that this requires coordinated efforts by all three countries.

"In Iran, design and survey work is currently underway to prepare for the construction of a railway section between Astara and Rasht," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

Alexey Overchuk noted that the Iranian side briefed the participants on the progress of fulfilling its obligations under the Rasht-Astara line construction project, emphasizing that Iran is making progress in preparing for construction.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, road transport plays a vital role in the development of the North-South international transport corridor. "To ensure maximum convenience for drivers, carriers, exporters, and importers, the appropriate infrastructure must be created and operational," said Alexey Overchuk. He noted that these issues have been resolved at the Russian-Azerbaijani border, and checkpoints are functioning effectively, while the Republic of Azerbaijan has invested significant resources in building a modern road network within its borders.

Alexey Overchuk noted the high activity of Russian carriers: "Today, when we entered Iran, we saw that the vast majority of trucks queuing to enter Azerbaijan from Iran were Russian." He emphasized the close trade and economic ties between our countries and expressed confidence that they will expand.

The Deputy Prime Minister also told media representatives that, following negotiations in the Republic of Azerbaijan, the parties agreed to establish a coordination mechanism: "The countries will create a joint working group, headed by the deputy transport ministers and deputy heads of customs services of our countries, in order to promptly and thoroughly resolve all existing problems."

Denis Manturov spoke at government hour in the State Duma.

First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Denis Manturov took part in a government hour at the State Duma dedicated to issues of automation and increasing labor productivity.

Speaking to parliamentarians, Denis Manturov called automation and increased labor productivity a cross-cutting objective for all sectors of the Russian economy and social sphere, and one of the key factors in ensuring the country's GDP growth rates above the global average.

The First Deputy Prime Minister explained that the activities of the national technological leadership project "Production and Automation Tools" are focused on two main areas.

The first involves increasing the production of high-tech machine tool products. Last year, government support measures already ensured a 20% increase in production in this segment.

"By 2030, our companies must scale up production of approximately 550 types of machine tools, machining centers, and components," noted Denis Manturov.

The second area involves developing the industrial robotics sector. The benchmark here is Russia's goal of joining the top 25 countries in the world in terms of robotic density. This poses a challenge for the industry and integrators, and also requires the creation of a new production culture.

"To reach our targets, we need to integrate approximately 80,000 industrial robots into companies' technological processes by 2030. These are complex, flexible, and multifunctional systems, integrating artificial intelligence, machine learning, and sensor technologies," the First Deputy Prime Minister explained.

Denis Manturov identified another aspect of industrial automation as the transition of enterprises to sovereign software.

The First Deputy Prime Minister paid special attention to labor productivity in the defense industry: in this sector, it has grown by more than 40% over the past three years – even taking into account the additional recruitment of approximately 800,000 new specialists to factories.

"We need a similar pace to achieve our space industry development goals. Roscosmos is already implementing a corporate robotics program," Denis Manturov noted.

Denis Manturov identified the training of qualified personnel as the most important factor in increasing labor productivity. To achieve industrial technological sovereignty by 2030, it is necessary to attract more than 2 million additional workers in various fields. A third of this demand consists of specialists with higher education.

During his speech, the First Deputy Prime Minister also touched on the topic of standards. "High standards, norms, and regulations, along with their unification, are the foundation for increased production efficiency," Denis Manturov emphasized.

Concluding his speech, the First Deputy Prime Minister noted that industrial development issues are a constant focus of State Duma deputies, and thanked the parliamentary corps for their systematic, long-term support and collaborative work.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko chaired a meeting on the development of target funds and other forms of charitable support for educational and scientific organizations.

The event was attended by Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education Andrei Omelchuk, Deputy Minister of Education Olga Koludarova, representatives of other ministries and departments, scientific organizations, and university rectors (MIPT, HSE, Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, etc.).

In preparation for Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin's strategy session, the Russian Ministry of Education and Science has formed seven working groups that are developing proposals to create tools for supporting universities with their graduates and to improve mechanisms for the formation and use of endowment funds (ETFs) for educational institutions addressing pressing industry issues.

The results of their work over the past three months were presented at the meeting. The groups developed proposals for support tools, conducted a survey of over 100 successful and well-known alumni from 20 universities with large endowment funds, developed proposals for a list and methodology for collecting key indicators to assess the current state of endowment funds, and analyzed current legislation.

"President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has instructed that proposals be submitted for developing tools to support educational institutions through their graduates, as well as for improving the mechanisms for forming and using endowment funds for educational institutions. According to statistics, every second endowment fund in Russia operates in the education sector—approximately 40% of all funds. Moreover, over 36% are in higher education. It is necessary to strategically expand the geography of these funds, creating them not only in higher education but also in schools, secondary vocational education institutions, and research organizations," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

Over the past 18 years, more than 400 Federal Targeted Funds (FTCs) have been established in our country, with total assets exceeding 155.5 billion rubles. In 2024, the volume of funds invested in these funds increased by 8.6%, demonstrating increased confidence in this long-term financing instrument for socially significant projects.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin instructed the development of proposals for additional measures to support the development of endowment funds at universities. In accordance with the Ministry of Education and Science's instruction, the Concept for the Development of Endowment Funds for Universities and Research Organizations for 2025–2035 and its methodological recommendations have been approved.

"Today, the Ministry of Education and Science, together with other agencies, is actively working to increase the attractiveness and sustainability of endowments. It is crucial for us that endowments in Russia are growing, and we are creating the conditions for their further development. This work is based on extensive research involving over a hundred experts. Based on market analysis and surveys, key challenges and proposed solutions have been identified and will be further developed. In developing these measures, we are focusing on increasing trust and removing administrative barriers, including expanding tax incentives and promoting endowments. These steps will strengthen the funds' financial stability and improve their performance," noted Deputy Minister of Education and Science Andrey Omelchuk.

The "Education and Promotion" working group conducted a survey of successful graduates of Russian universities to identify barriers and incentives for their participation in the formation and development of university endowment funds. The survey revealed that 71% of graduates are aware of the concept of endowment funds, and almost half of those surveyed—45%—are willing to make regular small payments to support endowment funds.

Ivan Lobanov, Rector of the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, noted the increase in the number of specialized educational programs for training qualified personnel for foundations: by 2025, there are several thousand potential students associated with more than 400 foundations, as well as more than 1,000 potential course participants working in higher education institutions.

MIPT Rector Dmitry Livanov noted that an analysis of best global practices shows that the successful development of endowments is possible with a combination of three factors: flexible regulation, active university participation, and low barriers to entry for small foundations.

"In Russia today, only the first step has been fully implemented. Therefore, our task is to create the necessary conditions: reduce administrative and financial barriers for small endowments, empower universities to support their endowments from the start, and develop platform solutions that dramatically reduce costs. We are convinced that a dedicated government support program is also necessary for accelerated market growth. This will allow us to create a modern endowment infrastructure and make endowments a viable source of long-term investment in education and science," noted Dmitry Livanov.

Stanislav Prokofiev, Rector of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, outlined key measures for tax and non-tax incentives for endowment funds.

"The working group believes that such measures should include quick wins in the form of simplifying administrative procedures for creating and administering endowment funds based on out-of-the-box solutions, and creating model documents designed to help small endowment funds register and begin operations," he said.

Speaking about the medium-term outlook, Stanislav Prokofiev emphasized the need to improve legislation, as well as to ensure the flexibility and transparency of the Federal Center for Strategic Development and the expansion of investment instruments.

Alexey Overchuk took part in the trilateral meeting between Russia, Azerbaijan, and Iran.

A meeting between representatives of the Russian Federation, the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the Islamic Republic of Iran was held in the capital of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The meeting focused on infrastructure cooperation and strengthening transport connectivity in the region. The Russian delegation was led by Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk, the Azerbaijani delegation was led by Deputy Prime Minister Shahin Mustafayev, and the Iranian delegation was led by Minister of Transport and Urban Development Farzaneh Sadeq.

During the meeting, the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized the importance of developing joint solutions to create a comfortable and seamless environment for carriers, exporters, and importers as part of the development of the western route of the North-South international transport corridor.

According to the Federal Customs Service of Russia, 176,761 international vehicles crossed the Russian-Azerbaijani border in the first half of 2025, a 10% increase compared to the same period last year. Freight turnover increased by 13% to 6.8 million tons.

"We've taken measures at some of the automobile checkpoints located on the Russian-Azerbaijani border that have increased their throughput capacity fivefold: from 400 to 1,900 trucks per day," noted Alexey Overchuk.

Following the completion of the reconstruction of the Novo-Filya, Tagirkent-Kazmalyar, and Yarag-Kazmalyar automobile checkpoints, the total throughput capacity for freight transport on the Russian side will be 3,000 vehicles per day.

Projects to build bypasses around the cities of Astrakhan, Makhachkala, Derbent, and Khasavyurt are being implemented on Russian territory.

In the area of railway infrastructure, the Russian side is working to convert the Derbent-Samur-state border corridor to an AC traction system and construct a railway checkpoint in Derbent. At the end of last year, an intergovernmental cooperation agreement was signed with the Republic of Azerbaijan to develop transit traffic along the North-South International Transport Corridor.

Implementation of the 2023 agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran on the construction of the Rasht-Astara railway section continues. In May 2025, the Russian side began conducting preliminary surveys, conducting reconnaissance of the area, and work is underway to establish a geodetic reference network.

"To increase the attractiveness of the western route of the North-South International Transport Corridor, it is important for us to develop a harmonized transport infrastructure between Russia, Azerbaijan, and Iran and create equal conditions for all bona fide carriers crossing the state border," stated Alexey Overchuk.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that this work is driven by growing trade and economic ties between Russia, Azerbaijan, and Iran.

Trade between the two countries is showing steady growth. Russian imports from Azerbaijan increased by 9.5% in the first seven months of 2025, reaching $742.4 million. Trade with the Islamic Republic of Iran increased by 13.3% in 2024 and by 11.8% in the first seven months of 2025, reaching $2.7 billion.

The Free Trade Agreement between the EAEU and the Islamic Republic of Iran, which entered into force on May 15, 2025, gave a special impetus to trade relations.

"If we look at the statistics from May to July 2025, that is, from the moment the free trade zone with the EAEU began operating, we are already seeing a 35% increase in trade turnover," the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized, noting that the first meeting of the Joint Committee for the Implementation of the Free Trade Agreement was held on September 24, following which a plan for joint activities on trade and economic cooperation between the EAEU and Iran for 2025–2028 was adopted.

Alexey Overchuk noted that the strategic goal of joint infrastructure work is to ensure seamless logistics from the Barents and Baltic Seas to the Persian Gulf, which will create the best competitive conditions for producers, exporters, and importers in the three countries.

"This is the work that gives our economies additional opportunities to expand, creates new jobs, increases incomes, and improves people's lives," said the Deputy Prime Minister.

Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of Staff of the Government of the Russian Federation Dmitry Grigorenko at an official meeting with Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan Mammetkhan Chakyev and Minister of Communications of Turkmenistan Khadzhymyrat Khudaygulyev

Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of Staff of the Russian Government Dmitry Grigorenko paid a working visit to Turkmenistan. The trip resulted in the appointment of a "digital attaché" to promote Russian IT solutions in the country. This specialist is scheduled to arrive in Ashgabat by the end of 2025.

This measure was announced during an official meeting between the Deputy Prime Minister, Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan Mammetkhan Chakyev, and Minister of Communications of Turkmenistan Khadzhymyrat Khudaigulyev. The parties discussed specific IT projects and prospects for cooperation in the field of digitalization.

Dmitry Grigorenko emphasized that Russia has developed a developed IT sector and has demonstrated steady growth in recent years. Over the past five years, the number of accredited IT companies has doubled and now exceeds 20,000. Furthermore, the country has developed competitive IT solutions with high export potential. These include large language models, search engines, marketplaces, delivery and taxi services, antivirus software, and government information systems such as the government services portal.

To share experience and promote Russian solutions abroad, Russia is developing the institution of "digital attachés." Currently, these specialists work in 19 countries, including China, Malaysia, the UAE, Argentina, Indonesia, and the Republic of Cuba. Their responsibilities include supporting the conclusion and management of export contracts for Russian electronic products, software, and other IT solutions.

"Experience from recent international trips has shown that Russian IT solutions are in high demand not only domestically but also among international partners. We intend to support this interest, and the digital attaché service is one of the tools for effectively promoting domestic IT projects abroad. The appointment of such a specialist to Turkmenistan is a confident step toward strengthening the mutually beneficial technological partnership between our countries," noted Dmitry Grigorenko.

During his visit, the Deputy Prime Minister also gave a lecture to students at the Institute of Telecommunications and Informatics of Turkmenistan. His speech focused on the key challenges and prospects of digitalization.

Dmitry Grigorenko emphasized that, on September 1, Russian universities launched enhanced educational programs to train world-class specialists in information technology and artificial intelligence. A key feature of the new programs is the participation of industrial partners and businesses. As part of their collaboration with universities, companies are sending their employees as instructors, incorporating real-world business cases and practical tasks into the curriculum, organizing internships for students, and participating in assessing students' skills during final assessments.

This academic year, at least 2,400 students will begin their studies in the Top-IT program, and at least 3,800 students in the Top-AI program. The program, which trains highly qualified IT personnel, has been launched at 26 Russian universities, while the program, which trains advanced specialists in artificial intelligence, has been launched at 22 universities. The project includes not only universities in Moscow and St. Petersburg, but also major regional universities.

International students studying at Russian universities can also participate in programs to train highly qualified IT personnel.

The 13th meeting of the Intergovernmental Commission on Economic Cooperation was held in Ashgabat under the co-chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Marat Khusnullin and Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan Nokerguly Atagulyev.

"Today, we are holding the first full-scale meeting of the Intergovernmental Russian-Turkmen Commission on Economic Cooperation in its new composition. We are committed to actively working to deepen trade, economic, cultural, and humanitarian cooperation between our countries and to implement major mutually beneficial projects. Overall, Russian-Turkmen cooperation has a solid foundation and continues to grow dynamically. Trade turnover has grown by more than 30% in the first seven months of this year. It is important to continue increasing trade turnover, including through the possibility of Russian marketplaces entering the Turkmen market. We also collaborate on issues of industry, energy, culture, and education," said Marat Khusnullin.

During the meeting, significant attention was devoted to the development of transport infrastructure. Measures are being implemented to increase transportation by rail, road, and air. Work continues on developing the North-South international transport corridor.

The Deputy Prime Minister also acknowledged the successful presence of Russian business in key sectors of the Turkmen economy, noting that Russian companies such as KAMAZ have been operating in Turkmenistan for many years, and that Russian companies supply equipment and perform complex repairs in the oil and gas sector.

"The Russian market is a priority for us. We are interested in both importing and exporting our products, and we see significant potential for developing cooperation in industry, digitalization, and agriculture. We will also facilitate joint events for the business communities of both countries. In education, we are interested in exploring Russian digital solutions to create a unified educational system. The protocol of today's meeting covers all areas of bilateral relations, and we will make every effort to implement the planned measures," said Nokerguly Atagulyev.

Following the meeting, a package of documents was signed, including the minutes of the intergovernmental commission meeting, action plans for cooperation between the Russian Ministry of Education and Science and Turkmenistan's Ministry of Education, and between Rosreestr and the Ministry of Agriculture of Turkmenistan. Additionally, an agreement on technological and marketing cooperation between the St. Petersburg and Turkmenistan Commodity and Raw Materials Exchanges was signed, as well as an agreement between the customs services of the two countries on streamlining customs procedures for the movement of goods and transport services between Russia and Turkmenistan. Three memorandums on cooperation in equestrian sports and horse breeding were also signed.

More than 50 representatives from relevant agencies and companies participated in the commission's work on the Russian side. The intergovernmental commission also included talks between the St. Petersburg administration and the Ashgabat mayor's office.

The Deputy Prime Minister expressed gratitude to the Turkmen head of state for the opportunity to discuss strategic partnership between the countries. They discussed prospects for cooperation in key sectors. The parties also discussed transportation issues, as well as the shallowing of the Caspian Sea, and outlined avenues for further cooperation.

"The leaders of our countries – Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and Serdar Gurbangulyevich Berdimuhamedov – are constantly focused on strengthening bilateral relations. This year, we celebrated the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War together. We appreciate that in Turkmenistan, like in Russia, we cherish the memory of the courage and heroism of our ancestors who fought together against fascism," the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.

During his working visit to Turkmenistan, Marat Khusnullin also visited the new smart city of Arkadag, where he learned about the experience of his Turkmen colleagues in housing construction, integrated territorial development, and public amenities.
