Following the first six months of the third season of the "Far East – Land of Adventure" competition, 506 films were submitted for jury evaluation. This was announced by the project's initiator, Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District, Yuri Trutnev.

"We want as many people as possible to discover the beauty of the Far East, to come to Sakhalin, Yakutia, the Magadan Region, and other Far Eastern regions, to walk existing trails or create their own tourist routes, and to share their experiences. That's why we created our "Far East – Land of Adventure" competition. Thanks to the films submitted, everyone will be able to experience an exciting adventure alongside those who have walked the land of the Far East," said Yuri Trutnev.

The largest number of films were made about travel in the Sakhalin Region (148 videos), Primorsky Krai (84 films), and Khabarovsk Krai (56 films). Thirty-seven videos were submitted about travel in the Amur Region, 32 videos about travel in the Jewish Autonomous Region, 25 and 23 films about the Zabaikalsky and Kamchatka Krais, respectively, and 21 videos about the Republic of Buryatia. Fourteen films were made about each of the Magadan and Murmansk Regions, 11 videos about the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic, and seven videos about the Arkhangelsk Region. Six films each were submitted about tourist routes in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug and the Komi Republic, five films each about travel in the Republic of Karelia, the Yamalo-Nenets and Chukotka Autonomous Okrugs, and three films about the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug.

The leader in terms of the number of applications received is the “Walking Journey” nomination – 323 films, the “Water Journey” nomination received 80 video works, the “Winter Journey” nomination – 33 videos, and the “Arctic Journey” nomination – 58 films.

Twelve films from the competition have been selected for the special "Paths of Victory" category. This category includes films about journeys to sites of military glory in the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District and the Arctic zone of Russia. To submit an application for the "Paths of Victory" category, simply submit a film in one of the four main categories—hiking, water, winter, or Arctic travel—and the competition jury will then select your film for the special category.

Additionally, the competition offers a special prize of 1 million rubles for the best trip to Chukotka. This special category has been announced again this year by the regional leadership.

We remind you that applications for the third season of the all-Russian competition for the best travel experience, "The Far East – Land of Adventure," are being accepted until January 15, 2026. To participate, you must create a short film up to 8 minutes long about your trip to the Far East or the Arctic and submit it through the website puteshestvendv.rf. The trip must have taken place no earlier than May 1, 2023, and no later than January 15, 2026. Video footage shot with both professional cameras and mobile devices is acceptable; quality is not a deciding factor. The main requirement is that the trip must be completed without the use of motorized vehicles. Footage featuring motorized vehicles is acceptable if it shows the route to the starting point of the route.

The competition has four main categories: hiking, boating, winter travel, and Arctic travel. Two special categories have also been established: "Paths of Victory" and "Best Chukotka Trip." The grand prize for the best video is 3 million rubles.

The competition is organized with the support of the Office of the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of Russia in the Far Eastern Federal District, the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East, the Far East and Arctic Development Corporation, and the Social Initiatives Development Fund.

Dmitry Chernyshenko and Sergey Kravtsov awarded the winners of the All-Russian Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence.

Bauman Moscow State Technical University announced the results of the 2025 All-Russian Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence (with the opportunity for international students to participate). Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Minister of Education Sergei Kravtsov congratulated the winners.

"Guys, congratulations! Our President Vladimir Putin is paying personal attention to the topic of artificial intelligence, and most importantly, he's giving instructions that will ensure the dynamic development of this technology. Of course, to ensure we remain leaders in technological sovereignty, you have a lot of work ahead of you," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

He emphasized that the Olympiad participants are not just schoolchildren, but partners and colleagues. Their skills will help lay the foundation for a breakthrough in AI technologies in the future, which will strengthen the country's position on the global stage.

"You grew up in the era of AI and understand its potential better than most. Imagine: in 10-15 years, a powerful AI, created by your own hands, will solve problems that seem impossible today," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

Sergey Kravtsov expressed gratitude to the teachers and mentors who prepared the students for the competition, as well as to the tournament's partners. He noted that thanks to their joint efforts, the number of Olympiad participants has grown almost sixfold in recent years, and the competition has become known far beyond Russia's borders. This year, the qualifying rounds brought together students from 26 countries.

"In 2025, the Olympiad became international for the first time, with over 52,000 schoolchildren participating. During the tournament, you demonstrated the thinking of the future—the intellectual potential that will shape the country's technological development. Now, like the winners and runners-up of previous years, you will receive internships at leading companies. This is a true reward for your work. As our President recently noted, the use of artificial intelligence offers significant efficiency benefits. Therefore, I wish you continued growth, creating new things, and implementing innovative ideas. May artificial intelligence become a useful tool for you, which you will use for the benefit of our country," the Minister of Education emphasized.

Dmitry Chernyshenko and Sergey Kravtsov presented awards to 14 winners and runners-up from the Novosibirsk, Rostov, Oryol, and Moscow regions, the Udmurt Republic, Krasnodar Krai, Moscow, St. Petersburg, and the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as one overall winner: Yelisey Kirpichenko from St. Petersburg, a student at School No. 667.

The All-Russian Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence was held among students in grades 8–11 who were majoring in computer science and had an interest in AI technologies. Sixty-two students reached the finals, including 12 participants from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Cyprus, and Armenia.

As per tradition, the next season of the All-Russian Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence was announced during the closing ceremony. In 2026, young programmers and analysts will explore a new applied topic, "Space," chosen through an interactive vote.

The Olympiad is organized by the Russian Ministry of Education. The authorized organization is the State University of Education. The competition's main technology partner is VK.

32 years since the return of St. George the Victorious to the Moscow coat of arms

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On November 23, 1993, Moscow officially returned its historical coat of arms, approved in 1781. The coat of arms was recreated based on the iconographic motif of "The Miracle of St. George and the Dragon" and its depiction on seals, coins, and the princely and royal coats of arms of ancient Rus'.

From an unnamed horseman to St. George the Victorious

The first depiction of a horseman piercing a dragon with a spear appeared on coins in the 15th century, during the reign of Prince Vasily II the Dark. At that time, this horseman did not represent a specific hero, but rather a symbol of an ordinary warrior who had vanquished the forces of darkness.

An unnamed dragon-fighting horseman became established as the coat of arms of the Moscow prince under Ivan III, and in the 16th century, under Ivan IV, a scene with a mounted spearman appeared in the center of the image of a double-headed eagle, the official coat of arms of the state, as a symbol of the fight against foreign invaders.

In the early 18th century, under Peter the Great, military regiments were named after the city where they were stationed, along with a banner and emblem. In 1712, the Moscow Regiment began using a double-headed eagle and a horseman piercing a serpent with a spear on its banner. Since the design closely mirrored the Russian coat of arms, over time, only the horseman with a spear remained on the emblem. At that time, according to some researchers, the horseman slaying the serpent began to be identified with St. George the Victorious.

Official approval and first changes

In 1781, Catherine II approved the Moscow coat of arms at the state level, marking an important step in the development of the city's symbolism. The official document emphasized that this coat of arms was "old," meaning it had previously been used as the city's emblem.

In the last third of the 19th century, the coat of arms underwent changes: the warrior in the image began to gallop to the viewer's left, in line with the canons of Western heraldry. The spear was tipped with a cross, reinforcing its association with Christianity. The coat of arms also featured the imperial crown, St. Andrew's ribbon, and scepter, emphasizing Moscow's status as the capital of the Russian Empire.

Star Replacement

After the 1917 Revolution, the "old regime" emblem was abolished. In 1924, architect Dmitry Osipov created a new coat of arms for Moscow, which included a five-pointed star, a hammer and sickle, and other elements symbolizing a new era in the country's history.

The Return of the Rider

In 1993, Mayor Yuri Luzhkov restored Moscow's historical coat of arms, dating from 1781. Of the later elements, only the cross crowning the spear remained.

The coat of arms of Moscow acquired its modern appearance in accordance with the law adopted by the Moscow State Duma in 1995.

The meaning of the coat of arms

Today the coat of arms contains the following elements:

The entire field of the French-style shield is painted dark red, symbolizing the blood of warriors who died fighting their enemies. Saint George the Victorious is turned to the viewer's right, in keeping with Russian tradition. The armor of the warrior and horse is made of silver, symbolizing the forces of light. The horseman's cloak is sky-blue. The horseman's spear is gold. The serpent pierced by the spear is painted black, symbolizing evil. The depiction of Saint George the Victorious on the coat of arms does not conform to Christian canons, which require saints to be depicted with a halo.

Two coats of arms – two horsemen

An interesting fact: the modern coat of arms of the Russian Federation also depicts a horseman fighting a dragon, but it is not associated with St. George the Victorious and is not identified with the coat of arms of Moscow.

The annual Conference of the Presidential Management Training Program was held at the All-Russian Foreign Trade Academy of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation.

The State University of Management was represented at the event by Vice-Rector Dmitry Bryukhanov and Head of the International Cooperation Department Inessa Bogatyreva.

The key topics of the Conference were current issues related to the development of the Presidential Program, international internships, prospects for economic growth, and structural changes in the economy.

Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak and Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov addressed the audience with welcoming addresses.

First Deputy Minister of Economic Development Maxim Kolesnikov opened the Conference. Speakers included representatives of the Russian Government, the Moscow Government, regional governments, business associations, and organizations affiliated with the Russian Foreign Trade Academy and the Federal Resource Center.

In total, more than 300 graduates of the Presidential Management Training Program and representatives of government agencies, businesses, and educational organizations took part in the work.

The meeting included four plenary sessions, discussing current issues such as talent shortages in various industries, new business educational needs, foreign investment, and international cooperation. Participants examined current opportunities and prospects for attracting foreign partners in the new economic climate, as well as the creative economy and ways to address the shortage of qualified managers in this field. Prospects for economic growth and plans for structural change were also discussed.

Following the discussions, a number of proposals for developing the Presidential Program were formulated. These initiatives include attracting new regions, such as the Republic of Crimea, to participate in the program, reducing the number of in-person hours in favor of increasing time for group project work, and increasing the tuition fee, with 50% covered by the participant and the remainder co-financed by federal and regional budgets. The proposals also included reinstating the practice of internships for executives of foreign companies and organizations in Russia based on intergovernmental agreements.

Dictionary and Encyclopedia Day: Knowledge from A to Z

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On November 22, 2025, Russia will celebrate Dictionary and Encyclopedia Day for the 15th time.

The festival was established in 2010 at the initiative of the Society of Lovers of Russian Literature and the V.I. Dahl Museum. Its goal is to increase interest in reference literature and develop a general culture of using language resources.

The date was chosen for a reason: it was the birthday of the great Russian lexicographer Vladimir Ivanovich Dal (1801-1872), who will forever be remembered as the author of the "Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language." This work became a true cultural phenomenon, as it not only contains the vocabulary of the Russian language but also reflects its cultural and historical characteristics. Dal's dictionary became the basis for many subsequent lexicographic works and remains an indispensable source for studying Russian.

In today's world, where information is accessible in any format, dictionaries and encyclopedias remain relevant. In the digital age, when knowledge can be found online, it's important to consider the quality of sources. Scientific articles, research, and even everyday communication require precision and understanding of word meanings. Dictionaries, both printed and digital, serve as reliable aids in this process.

Congratulations to everyone who has ever consulted a dictionary, looked up a word online, or even heard the name Vladimir Dahl. Love your language, study it, immerse yourself in its culture, and discover its unique features. And may the path to knowledge be simple and clear.

Dmitry Chernyshenko and scientists presented a forecast for fundamental AI science.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

At the AI Journey Science Day conference, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko summarized the results of the international AI foresight study, which was conducted at the request of the Russian President to study AI science.

"As our President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin noted, we must have unique competencies for the full cycle of developing fundamental language models: from their creation and training to their adaptation to the needs of various industries. Our teams are already demonstrating high results in a wide range of AI fields," noted Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The Deputy Prime Minister recalled that the first Russian AI foresight study was held last year. Ten promising areas of fundamental research were identified. In 2025, the discussion will be brought to the international level.

In 2025, the International AI Foresight was conducted in three stages: expert sessions, in-depth interviews, and the preparation of a final report.

"The work continued throughout the year, in close collaboration with AI research centers, academic institutions, and companies. Foresight sessions were held in Russia and abroad: in Morocco, the UAE, Serbia, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Indonesia, Armenia, and Cuba. This allowed us to calibrate our priorities, take into account the specificities of scientific schools, and build consensus on the objectives," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

He noted that 270 scientists are participating in the International AI Foresight, more than 150 of whom are international. All of them have a high h-index and at least two A* publications.

"The battle isn't over individual technologies, but over who will build their own ecosystem—their own 'operating system' for the future. Those who succeed will set the rules. Those who fail will become dependent on the decisions of others. We all understand this perfectly. Therefore, foresight and all our work are not about playing catch-up, but about shaping the contours of the future, based on a concrete scientific foundation shared by everyone who worked on it," said the Deputy Prime Minister.

The final report of the International AI Foresight was presented by researchers from Russia, China, India, Brazil, Vietnam, and Serbia at the plenary discussion of the "Journey into the World of AI" conference. The report is planned to be distributed to international partners and governments and submitted to the UN on behalf of the International AI Alliance.

The foresight activities were implemented by the International AI Alliance and the SAPFIR agency.

Dmitry Chernyshenko also welcomed the participants of the International AI Alliance meeting, which was attended by representatives of 28 Russian and international organizations.

"Last year, I attended the first meeting of the International AI Alliance, which brought together 17 industry associations from 14 countries. I see that the Alliance's representation is growing. Today, I am pleased to welcome the 11 countries that joined during the formal ceremony at the plenary session," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

Dmitry Chernyshenko thanked everyone for their work and noted that the alliance serves as a center of gravity, uniting the strongest players in the AI field.

"AI Horizons has changed a global trend. It's not just a prediction. It's a statement: science knows no boundaries, and the future of AI must be shaped collaboratively—with respect for the diversity of knowledge, cultures, and values," said Alexander Vedyakhin, First Deputy Chairman of the Executive Board of Sberbank.

Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin chaired a meeting of the Government Commission on Road Safety, where they summarized the results of their work for the first 10 months of 2025. The meeting also reviewed the implementation of the new Road Safety Improvement Strategy to 2030 and through 2036, approved by the President of Russia.

"Extensive, systemic work to ensure road safety is aimed at preserving the lives and health of our people. The President has set the goal of reducing the number of road fatalities by 1.5 times by 2030 and by 2036. The approved strategy sets new benchmarks for us. To implement it, we must develop an action plan that will include both proven tools and new systemic solutions. Despite the growing car ownership, traffic volume, and increased mobility, the country has maintained positive trends across key indicators in the first 10 months of 2025. The total number of road fatalities decreased by 3.6% compared to the same period last year. Road safety is a key focus of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project, so we must maintain the pace of work in this area," noted Marat Khusnullin.

Furthermore, fatalities in accidents involving oncoming traffic (-7.4%), pedestrian collisions (-6.7%), and drunk driving (-18.5%) decreased. The number of child fatalities in accidents decreased by 4.6%.

During the meeting, representatives from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Industry and Trade presented their proposals for implementing the strategy. These included improving road infrastructure, digitalization, increasing the efficiency of emergency services, developing a child injury prevention system, tightening vehicle safety requirements, and implementing modern driver assistance systems. A separate initiative was considered to expand the use of mobile devices for recording traffic violations on hazardous road sections, in response to regional requests.

Denis Manturov chaired a meeting of the State Border Commission.

First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov chaired a meeting of the State Border Commission. Representatives of the FSB Border Service, the Government Executive Office, the State Duma, the Security Council, and federal and regional executive authorities participated in the event.

Meeting participants discussed the progress of the pilot project to collect biometric data from foreign citizens entering Russia, the first phase of which began on December 1, 2024. The technology is being tested at Moscow International Airport (MIA) airports and at the Mashtakovo checkpoint in the Orenburg Region.

"Almost a year has passed since the launch of the first phase of the experiment. During this time, biometrics have identified more than 1,700 foreign citizens who were denied entry to our country. And at the end of June of this year, the second phase began, which allows foreign nationals to submit an entry application in advance using the RuID mobile app," said Denis Manturov.

The First Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that, given the positive results, the experiment needs to be scaled up to cover the majority of checkpoints.

The meeting also discussed the development and implementation of technologies to optimize state control procedures based on the smart checkpoint principle. Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered that the inspection time for freight vehicles at the state border be reduced to 10 minutes.

"To achieve these targets, a number of measures must be implemented, including the comprehensive modernization and refurbishment of checkpoints, the creation of a unified information environment for interaction between regulatory authorities and participants in the international supply chain, and the conversion of paper documents to digital form," Denis Manturov noted.
