Document

Resolution of August 14, 2025 No. 1210

For Russian exporters, the amount of mandatory repatriation and sale of foreign currency earnings has been reduced to zero. The decree on this was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

The decision was made in connection with the strengthening and stabilization of the national currency exchange rate, as well as the absence of problems with foreign exchange liquidity.

Previously, the largest Russian exporters were required to deposit at least 40% of foreign currency received under foreign trade contracts into their accounts in authorized banks and sell at least 90% of the deposited currency on the domestic market.

The requirement for mandatory repatriation and sale of foreign currency earnings was introduced by a presidential decree in October 2023 to ensure exchange rate stability and the sustainability of the Russian financial market. It applies to exporters working in the fuel and energy complex, ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, chemical and forestry industries, and grain farming.

The signed document introduces changes toResolution of May 22, 2025 No. 698.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

529 student design bureaus (SDB), located in 78 regions of Russia, were able to attract more than a thousand industrial companies to joint activities in 2024 – this is twice as much as the year before.

The work of the SKB is aimed at developing students' design and construction skills, and allows team members to engage in scientific research and development, noted Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

"On the instructions of President Vladimir Putin, a system of student design bureaus is being created in our country. It helps involve young people in the development of new technologies and products, and also helps improve the quality of engineering education. We see the active development of this system: in 2022, there were 58 SKBs operating in Russia, and today there are already 529. Over the past year, the number of industrial partners for student design bureaus has doubled," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

He added that large Russian companies, including Rosatom State Corporation, Rostec State Corporation, Gazprom PJSC, Sberbank PJSC, and Russian Railways OJSC, are actively participating in the work of the SKB.

The activities of student design bureaus correspond to the priority areas of scientific and technological development of the country, noted the head of the Ministry of Education and Science, Valery Falkov.

"The most popular areas of activity in student design bureaus right now are information and additive technologies, robotics and biotechnology. In total, more than 83 thousand students, postgraduates, teachers, young scientists are involved in the SKB, and all of them, united by a keen interest in engineering activities, contribute to our country's achievement of technological leadership," said Valery Falkov.

The top five regions in terms of the number of student design bureaus were Moscow (66), Bashkortostan (30), St. Petersburg (29), Novosibirsk (25) and Tomsk (21) regions.

The top five universities by the number of SKBs included Orenburg State University (20), Ufa University of Science and Technology (16), Chuvashia State University named after I.N. Ulyanov (13), and Southern Federal University (11). Fifth place was shared between Novosibirsk State Technical University, Rybinsk State Aviation Technical University, and Samara National Research University named after Academician S.P. Korolev – each of them has nine bureaus.

It should be noted that SKB carries out a lot of work on career guidance for schoolchildren. Open days, excursions, meetings with young engineers, specialized master classes and competitions are held for the children – all this is aimed at involving schoolchildren in engineering creativity.

Let us recall that in April of this year, the winners of the first student bureau competition were announced: 15 universities received subsidies for the creation and development of their SKB.

Aide to the President of Russia Andrei Fursenko and Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko held a meeting of the council for the implementation of the Federal Scientific and Technical Program for the Development of Synchrotron and Neutron Research and Research Infrastructure for the Period up to 2030 and Beyond.

It was also attended by the Minister of Education and Science Valery Falkov, the President of the National Research Center "Kurchatov Institute" Mikhail Kovalchuk, Deputy Minister of Finance Pavel Kadochnikov, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Vasily Shpak, Deputy Minister of Healthcare Tatyana Semenova, and representatives of other interested organizations. During the meeting, the current status of work on the creation of unique scientific installations of the "megascience" class and complexes of nuclear medicine and hadron therapy was discussed.

Andrey Fursenko noted the importance of meeting deadlines when creating such installations and complexes, and also paid special attention to the development of technologies that will be developed on the basis of the research stations of the SKIF Center for Collective Use.

Dmitry Chernyshenko emphasized that measures for the development of synchrotron and neutron research and research infrastructure in Russia are enshrined in the corresponding decree of President Vladimir Putin.

"Our country is implementing a program to create and modernize a network of unique scientific installations of the "megascience" class, nuclear medicine and hadron therapy complexes. They are called upon to make an important contribution to achieving the national goal set by President Vladimir Putin – technological leadership. Thanks to these installations, our country will be able to further realize its scientific potential, provide breakthrough research in a whole range of areas, including the nuclear industry, materials science, and medicine. Today, 12 such projects are being implemented within the framework of the federal scientific and technical program," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

Among them are the SKIF Collective Use Center in the Novosibirsk Region, the RIF on Russky Island, PIK and the Nuclear Medicine and Hadron Therapy Center (modernization of five complexes) in the Leningrad Region, Sila and Omega in the Moscow Region, the Zelenograd Technological Storage Complex, and KISI-Kurchatov in Moscow. The Deputy Prime Minister paid special attention to the progress of creating a 4th generation synchrotron radiation source at the SKIF Collective Use Center and the commissioning of 25 research stations at the International Center for Neutron Research based on the PIK high-flux reactor.

The head of the Ministry of Education and Science, Valery Falkov, presented a report on the current status of work on the creation of unique scientific installations of the “megascience” class.

"The event to create such a research infrastructure is the key and most resource-intensive in the federal scientific and technical development program. As a result, a network research infrastructure will be created with localized sources in various regions of Russia," he noted.

The Minister also spoke about the implementation of the project to create a 4th generation synchrotron radiation source at the SKIF Center for Collective Use.

"We have created a large-scale program, and it is moving forward. Now it is important to make an effort and see it through to the end. There is a great responsibility in construction, because the volume is really serious. What we are doing can be done by only a few countries," said Mikhail Kovalchuk.

In December 2024, the linear accelerator (part of the SKIF structure) was launched. In May of this year, the booster synchrotron was launched, and the first synchrotron radiation was obtained at the facility. By the end of August, it is planned to reach the design power parameter of 3 GeV (one of the two main parameters of the synchrotron radiation source). Currently, scientists from the G.I. Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics SB RAS (the main manufacturer of equipment for the accelerator-storage complex) are doing a lot of work in this area.

The manufacturing of the SKIF main storage device equipment is 95.5% complete. It is fully located on the site of the facility, and large-block assembly of accelerator elements is underway in the manufacturing stand building.

In parallel with this, the team that will work on the installation is being trained. The main source of personnel for SKIF will be Novosibirsk State University.

In general, the SKIF CCU is a complex of 34 buildings and structures, as well as engineering and technological equipment. The readiness of the equipment of the seven experimental stations of the first stage is more than 95%.

The Ministry of Education and Science is working to attract industrial partners interested in the operation of such mega-science installations. During a series of events, they formulated requests for research, including in the fields of petrochemistry, biology, microelectronics, and others.

Director of the Kurchatov Institute National Research Center Yulia Dyakova spoke about the implementation of 12 megascience class installations and nuclear medicine complexes within the framework of the program. In particular, she noted that 11 out of 20 stations have already been manufactured and delivered for the commissioning of 25 research stations of the PIK reactor, and 9 stations are still being developed. She emphasized that the modernization of such installations as KISI-Kurchatov, Omega, TNK Zelenograd, RIF, Luch U-70 and Luch-Proton is on schedule. It is expected that the Luch-Proton complex will create the first domestic gantry system in Russia – a radiation installation for medicine.

The Southern Federal District (SFD), supervised by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin, is one of the most dynamically developing in Russia. It includes eight subjects: Krasnodar Krai, Rostov, Volgograd and Astrakhan Regions, the Republics of Adygea, Kalmykia, Crimea and the city of Sevastopol. The district is famous for its warm climate, developed agriculture, resorts on the Black Sea and Azov coasts and developed industry. Key transport hubs are located here, as well as million-plus cities – Rostov-on-Don and Krasnodar. The SFD plays an important role in tourism, energy and logistics of the country. The development of the district is facilitated, among other things, by the financial support mechanism – infrastructure budget (IBK) and special treasury loans (STC).

"Infrastructure budget and special treasury loans have become a powerful tool for regional development, ensuring not only the construction of key facilities, but also a comprehensive socio-economic effect. Thanks to these measures, large-scale projects are being implemented that create new jobs, stimulate the development of related industries and increase the investment attractiveness of territories. The Southern Federal District successfully combines a resort and recreational zone with industrial and agro-industrial clusters, millions of tourists come here every year, so it is extremely important to change the appearance of these regions for the better. Since 2022, projects within the IBC and SCC have contributed to attracting about 283.56 billion rubles in extra-budgetary investments," said Marat Khusnullin.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, the largest volume of housing commissioning thanks to the IBC and SKK projects is observed in Krasnodar Krai – 1.09 million sq. m, Rostov Oblast – 421 thousand sq. m and Volgograd Oblast – 394 thousand sq. m.

Starting this year, in continuation of the IBC program, treasury infrastructure loans (TIL) are being launched, which will also be designed to improve the quality of the living environment on favorable terms for the regions. The Presidium of the Government Commission for Regional Development has begun work on approving applications from regions. In particular, projects in the Southern Federal District will be implemented at the expense of TIL.

In the Volgograd Region, an application for the construction of a water supply system in the Sovetsky, Kirovsky and Krasnoarmeysky districts of Volgograd and water supply networks in the central-western part of the city has been approved. In the Rostov Region, a treasury infrastructure loan will be used to reconstruct the storm sewer system of Rostov-on-Don. In the Krasnodar Territory, funds are planned to be used for the reconstruction of treatment facilities with a capacity of 100 thousand cubic meters per day in Anapa, the construction of a sewage pumping station, a pressure pipeline and a main sewer collector with a capacity of 400 thousand cubic meters per day in Krasnodar.

First Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Alexander Lomakin noted that in the regions of the Southern Federal District, 93 projects and events have already been completed within the framework of the IBC and SKK mechanisms, including the delivery of new public transport.

"89 projects and events have been implemented through the IBC, including the Zapadnaya Chord highway in the Rostov Region, the reconstruction of the 110 kV Severnaya substation in Simferopol, Republic of Crimea, with an increase in the number of feeder lines. Under the SKK mechanism, 4 projects have been completed, including the construction of a sewer collector in Rostov-on-Don, a major overhaul of almost 14 km of a water pipeline in the Saksky District of the Republic of Crimea, and the construction of the Dakhovskaya-Deguakskaya Polyana road in the Republic of Adygea, leading to a tourist and recreational park. These projects not only improve transport and utility infrastructure, but also create conditions for sustainable development of regions," said Alexander Lomakin.

Thanks to IBC and SKK, 163 buses were sent to the routes of Krasnodar Krai, 112 trolleybuses and 143 buses were delivered to Volgograd Oblast, 158 buses to Rostov Oblast, 50 buses to the Republic of Adygea, 18 buses to Sevastopol, and 10 buses to the Republic of Kalmykia.

Vasily Kupyzin, General Director of the Territorial Development Fund, reported that work involving funds from the IBC and SKK continues in all eight regions of the district.

"In total, 46 objects and events are currently underway in the Southern Federal District with the use of infrastructure budget and special treasury loans. Of these, 2 objects are social infrastructure, 4 are road infrastructure, 40 are utility infrastructure, including two large group water pipelines that supply water to several settlements at once – to Kabardinka and Yeisk in Krasnodar Krai. They will help significantly improve the water supply to local residents and city guests," said Vasily Kupyzin.

The curator of the budget loan program is the Ministry of Construction, and the operator is the Territorial Development Fund.
