The Russian government continues its systematic work to transform public spaces as part of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project. These spaces in large cities and small towns are becoming venues for mass celebrations during the New Year and Christmas holidays, announced Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"The first year of the national project 'Infrastructure for Life' is yielding concrete results. Since January, over 7,000 areas across Russia have been improved, including over 5,100 public spaces and approximately 2,000 courtyards. Since 2019, this represents a total of over 80,000 areas. The work on the All-Russian Competition for the Best Projects for Creating a Comfortable Urban Environment is particularly noteworthy. This year, 294 projects won the competition. Also, approximately 200 winning projects were implemented this year. This work is aimed at creating a favorable living and recreational environment for Russians. Today, these parks, squares, and plazas are becoming the focal points of New Year's celebrations, creating a festive atmosphere throughout the country," said Marat Khusnullin.

For example, in Zavodoukovsk, Tyumen Oblast, the Central Square was renovated. Santa Claus's residence, a food court, and a fountain square were set up for New Year's celebrations. The space was equipped with heated relaxation areas, outdoor play areas, and a light and music fountain.

Another example: in the city of Chapayevsk in the Samara Region, a park near the Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh was landscaped. Multifunctional areas for all ages were created within the grounds: a library pavilion, a café area, an apothecary garden, a playground, and an amphitheater. Cozy corners with benches, flower beds, and a pine garden were created for quiet relaxation.

An "Arts Square" has been created in Gvardeysk, Kaliningrad Oblast. Festive events are planned there, including an interactive area featuring Father Frost and a Christmas concert, "The Light of Christmas," complete with folk festivities and round dances.

Winter parks have been developed in the Moscow region. Forty-seven artificial ice rinks, 60 Father Frost residences, and 74 cozy fireplaces have opened for recreation. Ice shows and the Crystal Ice figure skating festival will begin in January.

In Izhevsk, Udmurt Republic, the Central Square was reconstructed. Amphitheaters, terraces, and a unified lighting and bench design were added. The square has become the city's main venue for large-scale events, such as the "World Pelmeni Day" gastronomic festival.

"New Year is a beloved family holiday, bringing people together for generations around the festive tree and New Year's table. It's a time when people take to the streets to experience the magic of the New Year together, stroll through parks and squares, enjoy winter activities, watch street performances, and socialize in a cozy atmosphere. Therefore, it's important that modern, beautiful, and safe spaces be created for citizens across the country—those very same points of attraction that create a festive mood. This is precisely the goal of the All-Russian competition for the best projects for creating a comfortable urban environment, held by the Ministry of Construction of Russia as part of the federal project "Creating a Comfortable Urban Environment." Renovated public spaces with interconnected pedestrian routes, developed infrastructure and services, energy-efficient lighting, unique architectural design, and vibrant aesthetics become focal points and create a true New Year's miracle for millions of Russians," said Minister of Construction, Housing and Utilities Irek Fayzullin.

Residents themselves actively participate in selecting sites for transformation. In 2025, more than 16.6 million Russians and 170,000 beautification volunteers participated in the nationwide online vote. Based on the results, 5,000 sites in 1,600 municipalities across 88 Russian regions were selected.

Dmitry Grigorenko: Russia successfully tested a biometric train boarding service.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Government of the Russian Federation – Government of the Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The "Migom" biometric express train boarding service has been tested in Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Ivanovo, and Kostroma. The new solution, which allows for identity verification without document submission, was implemented by the Biometric Technology Center and Russian Railways using a unified biometric system. The development of biometric services is being overseen by Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

The service is being tested on three routes: Moscow–Nizhny Novgorod, Moscow–Ivanovo, and Moscow–Kostroma. A limited number of passengers are participating in the testing. The service is expected to become available to users on these routes in the first quarter of 2026.

To use the service, you'll need verified biometrics. This can be done at an authorized bank or at home using on-site registration. After that, all you need to do is provide consent to data processing.

Identification is performed upon boarding the train using the conductor's portable device. Passengers can choose whether to verify their identity with a passport or biometrics.

Biometrics are voluntary. In all user scenarios, the technology serves as an additional—the simplest and most convenient—way to access services. Currently, legislation strictly prohibits any discrimination, including restricting access to services for those who choose not to register their biometrics. Registration is also only possible with the individual's consent.

"It's important to us that the introduction of biometrics is convenient and understandable for people. The train boarding service doesn't replace passports or impose new formats—the use of biometrics remains a personal choice for passengers," noted Dmitry Grigorenko.

The express train boarding service is part of the Migom platform, which is 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, self-service at MFCs, and more.

An infrastructure project to build a traffic interchange at the intersection of the third launch complex of the Central Ring Road and Dmitrovskoye Highway is underway in the Moscow Region. Vehicle traffic has now opened, according to Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"We face ambitious goals in modernizing our road and transport infrastructure. For example, in the Moscow region, we are implementing a project to build a new interchange at the intersection of the Central Ring Road (TsKAD) and Dmitrovskoye Highway. Traffic is already operational, which has improved accessibility for the surrounding areas, redistributed traffic from the A-107 Moscow Small Ring Road to the Central Ring Road, and improved conditions for transit traffic bypassing Moscow. To achieve this, three overpasses and four ramps were built, and 2.3 km of the A-107 Moscow Small Ring Road were reconstructed. A total of 107,000 tons of high-strength and wear-resistant asphalt concrete were laid during the construction," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that constructing these structures is among the most complex engineering challenges. One overpass, with a metal superstructure, is located above the Central Ring Road (TsKAD) and is 69 meters long. A second, with a combined metal and reinforced concrete structure measuring 164 meters, was built above the TsKAD and the A-107 Moscow Small Ring Road. A third structure, with a metal superstructure measuring 65.8 meters, is located above the A-107 Moscow Small Ring Road. A total of approximately 815 tons of metal and 3,825 cubic meters of concrete were used for these constructions.

According to Vyacheslav Petushenko, Chairman of the Board of the state-owned company Avtodor, a large-scale road safety project has been completed at the site.

"To separate traffic flows, 11.6 km of barrier fencing was installed, and 22,200 linear meters of markings were applied to manage traffic. Furthermore, to ensure safety at night and in poor visibility, over 260 lighting poles with LED and energy-saving lamps were installed. The facility is equipped with intelligent transport systems, a key element of which is an automated traffic management system. This will help monitor the situation on the road, track weather conditions, and warn drivers in advance of changes in the road situation," noted Vyacheslav Petushenko.

At the peak of the work, approximately 230 people and 85 pieces of equipment were involved.

The remaining improvement work in the surrounding area, which will not interfere with motorists, is planned to be completed next year.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, took part in the final meeting of the State Council, chaired by Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin on December 25.

The President discussed with members of the State Council the training of personnel for the economy, paying particular attention to the modernization of the education system in the context of the development of artificial intelligence.

In his speech, Vladimir Putin recalled that 19 national projects with specific targets were launched in 2025, eight of which are aimed at ensuring Russia's technological leadership. The success of each project depends on the professionalism and competence of the people involved. At the same time, there is currently a high demand for skilled workers: unemployment has dropped to 2.2% overall and to 3.8% among young people.

The head of state emphasized that the next 10-15 years will see the largest technological breakthrough in world history, and we must approach it with full readiness:

"The very principles of training specialists and their subsequent career advancement are being radically transformed. The traditional trajectory of step-by-step career development—from education, to junior position, and on to management—will undoubtedly change… The entire paradigm of personnel training needs to be changed."

Accordingly, it is necessary to revise existing programs and teaching methods, develop new ones, and conduct mass retraining of teachers who will not only be oriented toward new technologies but also preserve the fundamental foundations of the education system, developing independent creative thinking in students and the ability to critically evaluate the proposals of artificial intelligence.

The President also recalled the national ranking of graduate employment prepared by the Ministry (recall that GUU took a leading position in it), based on which he proposed annually identifying the 100 educational institutions that demonstrated the worst results and working with them to improve their performance.

In addition, tasks were outlined to overcome imbalances in the labor market, optimize the sectoral structure of employment, and develop an infrastructure for career guidance for young people and additional vocational education.

Regarding higher education, the President called for attention to be paid to the development of universities that train personnel for key sectors: energy, transport, agriculture, construction, culture, and healthcare. New development programs for such universities should be discussed and developed in close collaboration between the Ministry of Education and Science, industry ministries, relevant enterprises, and businesses.

A RUDN University student won an internship in the SOLLERS Orbit of Professionals competition.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Peoples'Friendship University of Russia

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Ilya Ivanov, a student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering Technologies at the RUDN University Engineering Academy, won the all-Russian "SOLLERS Orbit of Professionals" competition. He received a scholarship and a paid internship at a leading automotive company with a flexible schedule during his studies. The internship will be supervised by experienced mentors and experts in the automotive industry. It will provide the student with the opportunity to directly participate in the development and implementation of the company's projects.

The competition, which Ilya won, consisted of several stages: online testing, a practical case study, and an interview. At the in-person finals, attended by 200 of the best engineering students from across Russia, he presented his project to the company's expert committee, which received high praise for its innovation and practical relevance. We spoke with Ilya to learn more about the project that won him the competition and what he expects from his upcoming internship.

How did you prepare for the various stages of the competition—the online testing, the practical case? Share your secret to success.

My preparation was systematic. Before the online test, which covered both general automotive knowledge and technical topics (vehicle electrical equipment, metalworking, strength of materials), I reviewed key subjects from my final years—mechanical engineering technology, machine and mechanism theory, and cutting tools. When solving the practical case, the experience gained during my summer internship at the MAZ Moskvich plant, where I was fortunate to participate in the development of new production automation systems and immerse myself in the specifics of the domestic automotive industry, played a significant role. So there's no secret—it was simply a lot of time spent developing a deep understanding of the subject.

What knowledge did you gain at RUDN University helped you win? Are there any particular teachers you'd like to thank?

The objective of the competition case is to develop a mounting bracket for the ERA-GLONASS emergency call unit for a Sollers ST6 vehicle. This is a complex task: the development must take into account production volume, cost, labor intensity, and other factors affecting the final product. We discuss all these aspects in detail in our classes, so I would like to thank our department's instructors: Pavel Aleksandrovich Davydenko, Dmitry Gennadievich Allenov, and Vladimir Viktorovich Kopylov, for their high-quality and accessible presentation of these specialized subjects.

Which stage of the competition was the most difficult for you and why?

The development stage was the most challenging, as there were countless possible solutions. I chose the path of maximum functionality, emphasizing simplicity and low manufacturing cost, which ultimately led to victory.

What was innovative about your project and its practical significance for the automotive industry?

My project included not only the bracket itself, but also a proposal for organizing production, strength analysis results, cost calculations, and a corporate-style brochure outlining the advantages of the proposed solution.

How did you feel the moment you found out you were the winner? What was the first thing you thought about?

The competition organizers kept the suspense going until the very end. On the way to the awards ceremony, I expected to win a prize, but certainly not first place, because, as it seemed to me then, I hadn't done anything special—I'd simply applied the knowledge I'd gained in class. At the event, I met students from various universities in Moscow and the Moscow region, such as MIPT and Bauman Moscow State Technical University, including both master's and doctoral students. The organizers began presenting the awards: third place—not me, second—not me, first—again, not me. At that moment, I thought, "Oh well, I didn't win—it happens, I'll try next time." But then they announced, "Today, our guest is the person who took first place among all participants in Russia—RUDN University student Ilya Ivanov." At that moment, I was overjoyed and immediately ran onto the stage.

The grand prize is a paid internship at SOLLERS. What are your expectations for this job?

This is a very valuable award. What I'm looking forward to is immersing myself in real production processes. Theory and case studies are one thing, but a live factory with its challenges is a completely different and most valuable experience. I hope to contribute to the development of the domestic auto industry and learn from the best specialists in the industry.
