There are over 919,000 registered small and medium-sized businesses in Moscow. These businesses employ over 3.7 million people—one in three people employed in the city. This large base makes small businesses one of the capital's key partners in addressing a wide range of challenges, from meeting residents' daily needs to implementing major infrastructure projects. Sergei Sobyanin discussed government procurement from small businesses in his address. blog.

"The Moscow government offers entrepreneurs a wide range of support measures. But one of the most significant is the opportunity to participate in government procurement and sell their products or services to a reliable buyer at a reasonable price. Without a doubt, this is what any honest and conscientious entrepreneur needs," the Moscow Mayor wrote.

What the city purchases from small businesses

In 2025, under Federal Law No. 44 "On the Procurement of Products for State Needs," the Moscow Government concluded 268,300 contracts with small businesses across Russia. This represents almost three-quarters of the city's total government contracts.

Last year, the largest number of contracts—48,600—were for medical products and pharmaceuticals. Construction goods (22,700 contracts) and household goods, including home appliances (20,900) came in second and third.

In addition, the city actively purchased educational services (20.1 thousand contracts), information technology products, communications equipment, office equipment and electronics (13.5 thousand) from small businesses.

Almost 60 percent of contracts were awarded to Moscow-based entrepreneurs, while the remainder were awarded to regional suppliers. Among the most active procurement participants were small businesses from the Moscow, Sverdlovsk, Nizhny Novgorod, and Vladimir regions, as well as from St. Petersburg.

The winners of the Moscow Procurement Leaders competition were selected in the capital.Moscow is creating conditions for the development of female entrepreneurship, Sobyanin said.

How the capital helps gain access to trading

Large companies have dedicated departments whose employees monitor specialized tenders to ensure they don't miss out on opportunities. Small businesses lack these opportunities, so the city helps entrepreneurs gain access to tenders.

Starting in 2022, all Moscow-based procurements worth up to 20 million rubles will be made exclusively to small businesses. This measure was introduced as additional support for small businesses.

In addition, on the portal Small Business of Moscow The free online service "Selection of Public Procurement under 44-FZ/223-FZ" is available. Experts from the State Budgetary Institution "Small Business of Moscow" are available to provide consultations to entrepreneurs if needed.

This service helps entrepreneurs find suitable tenders on online trading platforms. It takes into account the specifics of their businesses and displays current procurements for which bids are being accepted. The service is available to companies, sole proprietors, and self-employed individuals operating in Moscow. It is also open to those planning to start their own business in the capital.

The Supplier Portal is another important tool for supporting small businesses. Here, schools, kindergartens, clinics, and other institutions purchase essential products through small-volume procurement. Over 90 percent of all suppliers on the portal are small and medium-sized businesses. Last year, a service for streamlining procurement documentation was launched on the portal. Artificial intelligence generates contract summaries, helping entrepreneurs quickly assess the key details of a procurement and decide whether to participate.

Every day onplatform On average, around 800 bidding sessions are published. The service automatically generates a summary for each one. On average, seven entrepreneurs participate in each mini-auction, and the starting bid price is reduced by 14 percent.

Work plays a significant role Moscow Guarantee FundIt helps entrepreneurs obtain financing and bank guarantees for the execution of government contracts. Its guarantees cover up to 70 percent of a business's liabilities, and the maximum guarantee amount reaches 100 million rubles. This makes it easier for entrepreneurs to obtain loans, and for banks to reduce the risks involved in issuing loans.

Thanks to the guarantee support, the sports event organizer, Jukka Travel, signed 22 government contracts in 2025.

The Ortomoda Shoe Design Center, which produces orthopedic footwear for people with disabilities, has signed 12 contracts.

"Thanks to the active participation of small businesses in public procurement, the city receives the necessary products at reasonable prices. Entrepreneurs have the opportunity to grow their businesses, feed their families, and create new jobs. This fully meets the goals of the national projects 'Efficient and Competitive Economy' and 'Data Economy and Digital Transformation of the State,'" the Moscow Mayor emphasized.

The Zamoskvoretskaya metro line is one of the busiest in the capital. On weekdays, passengers make over 800,000 trips. At the end of 2025, the most modern Russian trains, the "Moscow-2026" series, entered service. Today, 48 of these cars are already running on the green line, with another six trains undergoing testing.

"The Moscow Metro is the first metro system in Europe and the US to upgrade its trains. Today, 48 cars of the most modern and technologically advanced "Moscow-2026" series operate on the Zamoskvoretskaya Line. The trains are made from domestically produced components and assembled in Russia. In total, the metro will receive 700 cars over the next two years, including for the completion of the Zamoskvoretskaya Line upgrade. Passenger travel will become even more comfortable," said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.

Maxim Liksutov.

Before entering service, the Moscow-2026 trains undergo a thorough testing process. Before the trains begin carrying passengers, specialists test the undercarriage and car equipment, the undercarriage, and the undercarriage, and check and adjust the sliding doors. During the tests, they evaluate the safety and reliability of the line, the smoothness of the rail ride, the lighting and vibration levels in the cabin, and the braking distance. In addition, they check how the headlights dim when entering a station and how they dim when an oncoming train passes in a double-track tunnel. To be approved for full service, the Moscow-2026 train must travel 300 kilometers without any issues. If any deviations are discovered during the testing, they are promptly corrected, and the tests are repeated.

The trains retain all the key advantages of the previous series, but have become even more technologically advanced and comfortable. Compared to the "Numbered" series, their capacity has increased by 10 percent. Each train can accommodate approximately 1,500 passengers. This was achieved thanks to wide walkways, and the doors have increased in width by 32 percent. Other improvements include more comfortable seats without metal inserts, updated headlights designed as a single light strip, an upgraded rearview camera, increased glass area on the entrance handrails, and a new design for the passenger-driver communication unit, which is also adapted for passengers with limited mobility.

The Moscow Metro is implementing the world's largest rolling stock renewal program. Since 2010, the share of new trains has increased from approximately 13 percent to 80 percent. According to the transport strategy approved by Sergei Sobyanin, the share of modern-generation cars will exceed 90 percent by 2030. Extensive work has been carried out in recent years. Trains on the Koltsevaya, Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya, and Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya lines have been renewed, and the Big Circle and Troitskaya lines have been equipped with new trains. It is expected that by 2030, all Moscow Metro lines will be equipped with modern trains.

How can you understand your dog's true feelings? Experts from Dorinvest shelters shared how to master basic pet body language. This knowledge isn't just an interesting skill, but a practical tool for building trust. Reading signals helps prevent fear and aggression, laying the foundation for a peaceful life. The key to harmony lies not in training commands, but in attentive observation. Misinterpretations of an animal's body language often lead to misunderstandings, stress, and adaptation difficulties, especially for shelter pets.

Animal caregivers with years of experience emphasize that a dog's inability to speak human language is compensated for by a complex system of signals they display with their eyes, ears, tail, and posture. Ignoring these signals is tantamount to a dialogue in which one party is intentionally silenced.

"Understanding body language is especially important in a shelter. Many dogs brought to the shelter have experienced stress, and their signals are the only way they can communicate their fears or comfort. By learning to read them, a person can avoid putting pressure on the animal and become a truly reliable guide to its new life," note Kristina Romanova and Alexander Andreev, staff members of the Zoorassvet shelter.

To help new and experienced owners build a dialogue with their four-legged friend,Moscow's urban infrastructure complex We've prepared a visual guide to key signals that can help prevent conflict and build trust.

The tail is an indicator of mood. A wide, sweeping wag indicates friendliness. A rapid wag indicates excitement or anxiety, while a tucked tail is a clear sign of fear or insecurity.

The eyes are the window to the soul. A soft, relaxed gaze and slow blinking indicate trust and calm. If the whites of the eyes are visible ("whale eyes") and the gaze darts, the dog is uncomfortable or afraid. A fixed, unblinking gaze can indicate tension.

Relaxed, laid-back ears and a slightly open mouth are a sign of peace. Tense, forward-facing ears indicate a dog's concentration. Licking lips or yawning in a calm environment is often a sign of stress, not hunger or sleepiness.

A relaxed posture is one that a pet assumes when feeling completely comfortable. A tense, frozen stance, hunching toward the ground, or turning away the head is an attempt to avoid contact or a signal of stress.

Dogs communicate with people constantly, but in their own language. Understanding these signals is important when introducing a shelter pet, as it allows for communication without overstepping boundaries. The reward will be a unique bond built on deep mutual trust and understanding.

You can interact with shelter animals during their opening hours. Simply bring your passport and a desire to share a little warmth with one or more of them. You can also research the animal's personality in advance and choose your future four-legged friend in the service's catalog. Mospitometz on mos.ru. It was opened at the end of last year by the capital Department of Information Technology and the Moscow City Services Complex to help find homes for dogs and cats from 13 city shelters.

Two large herrosaurus cubs were born on February 2 at the Moscow Zoo, which is part of the capital's Department of CultureThese are large lizards native to the arid regions of sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar. Currently, the babies are kept with their parents in the Terrarium pavilion's service areas, so visitors cannot see them. Zoo staff are closely monitoring the babies' growth and development.

Breeding large herrosaurs in captivity is challenging. These lizards are very sensitive to environmental conditions: they are prone to stress and have high demands on ultraviolet radiation, temperature, and humidity. Another challenge lies in their reproductive habits. Females bury their eggs deep in the soil, making them difficult to detect. However, specialists at the Moscow Zoo managed to find the clutch in time and place the eggs in a special incubator. Incubation lasted approximately two months at a stable temperature of 24 to 25 degrees Celsius.

"The fact that we regularly have reproductions of individuals born at the Moscow Zoo speaks to the exceptional professionalism of our herpetologists and the zoo's successful conservation strategy for rare species. This is the result of painstaking work and a genuine passion for their work," noted Svetlana Akulova, General Director of the Moscow Zoo.

Juveniles, like adults, are distinguished by their vibrant coloration: their bodies are green, with striking red or yellow stripes running along their sides. Young herrosaurs have a varied diet. They feed on insects (crickets), fruits (bananas and mangoes), vegetables (carrots), lettuce, and even cottage cheese. Males can be distinguished from females by two characteristics: males have a more massive and wider head, and they have special femoral pores on their hind limbs, which look like small holes.

Herrosaurs are a family of lizards in the order Scinciformes. Their bodies are covered with large, shiny scales arranged in regular longitudinal and transverse rows, giving them the appearance of a carapace. These reptiles also have a longitudinal lateral fold of skin separating the dorsal from the ventral sides, which provides additional mobility. Lizards are diurnal and heliothermic, basking in the sun to maintain body temperature. They inhabit primarily arid environments, although forest and semi-aquatic species also exist.

The Moscow Zoo's program of events contributes to the implementation of the national project's goals and objectives in the capital. "Family"More information about Russia's national projects and Moscow's contribution can be found atspecial page.

Moscow Zoo, subordinate to the capital's Department of Culture, is one of the oldest in Europe. It was founded in 1864 by the Imperial Russian Society for the Acclimatization of Animals and Plants. Its history is linked to the names of prominent scientists from Moscow University—Karl Roullier, Anatoly Bogdanov, and Sergei Usov.

Today, the zoo continues to develop. Serious scientific research is conducted here, and international conferences and educational programs are held. In early 2025, it set a world record for the number of animal species represented—1,253. This achievement was made possible through the many years of effort by zoologists, veterinarians, keepers, and other staff.
