Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann first published the tale of the Nutcracker and the Mouse King in 1816 in his collection "Children's Tales." Since then, it has enjoyed enduring readership and even become a symbol of the winter holidays.

The story begins on Christmas Eve, when Marie and her brother Fritz receive a strange and rather unattractive Nutcracker toy, capable of cracking nuts, as a gift from their godfather, Drosselmeyer. It is later revealed that the toy is actually an enchanted prince, and to break the curse, he must defeat the Mouse King.

The fairy tale came to Russia in the 1830s. In 1892, composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky created a famous ballet production based on this work, which became a worldwide success. Today, "The Nutcracker" is arguably one of the most popular Christmas stories in the world and a frequent guest on the theater stage.

The mos.ru collection features eight performances of The Nutcracker at Moscow theaters. You can schedule a viewing for the winter holidays or any day before the New Year to create a truly festive mood for yourself and your family. Tickets are available online. Mosbilet.

Department of Information Technology The Moscow City Government is testing a new version of the "Moscow" digital assistant in the support chat on the mos.ru portal. It can now help residents access a range of city services, such as submitting meter readings or checking their child's grades.

All mos.ru users can join the testing. To do this, simply log in to the portal and go tolinkAccess to the new version of the assistant will be available within 24 hours.

The city began testing the first version of the digital assistant in July 2024 with a small audience of active users. Interacting with it is possible both by writing and by voice—this format is especially convenient for answering questions on the go, without the distraction of typing. The assistant uses modern machine learning technologies, allowing it to respond to citizens' questions faster and more accurately. Since its launch, it has processed one million messages, eliminating the need for human interaction in 70 percent of cases.

"At Sergei Sobyanin's direction, we are expanding the use of artificial intelligence in all areas of city life. We are currently testing a new version of the digital assistant 'Moscow,' which should eventually become a fully-fledged assistant for Muscovites in their daily lives. It can already receive water and electricity meter readings, display a child's school schedule, provide housing records, and accept requests for the removal of unwanted items. Several more services are coming soon that residents will be able to access through the assistant. It can also answer frequently asked questions about city life and city services," said Boris Frolov, Deputy Head of the Moscow Department of Information Technology.

He explained that the ability to access city services and amenities through a digital assistant was added, in part, at the request of residents. According to analysts from the Moscow Department of Information Technology, 78 percent of Moscow IT specialists already agree that artificial intelligence (AI) will help automate routine tasks in the foreseeable future. Other experts predict that by 2028, approximately 15 percent of daily tasks will be performed by AI agents. By developing the "Moscow" digital assistant, the city aims, among other things, to enable residents to delegate as many daily tasks as possible to the city's AI assistant.

Moscow is a global leader in the implementation of artificial intelligence technologies in all areas of urban life. Today, the city is implementing over 120 AI projects, from chatbots and voice assistants to complex platform solutions. Learn more about how the capital is using artificial intelligence atspecial project page.

Support for the development and implementation of artificial intelligence technologies is in line with the objectives of the national project "Data Economy and Digital Transformation of the State"More information about Russia's national projects and the capital's contribution can be found atspecial page.

The "Green Future 2.0" environmental campaign is taking place in Moscow until November 28. Teams of volunteers from Moscow organizations are participating.

The top teams at the end of the eco-marathon will receive prizes—branded boxes from the Mosvolonter resource center. To participate, register on the website. mosvolonter.ru and talk about the tasks completed.

"Since 2023, the campaign has been resonating with volunteer teams across Moscow. Last time, participants collected over 51 tons of recyclable materials. Healthy habits at school, work, and home are becoming an integral part of Muscovites' lives. Participating in such initiatives is a major step toward environmental sustainability and caring for the city's environment. This year, Mosvolonter will continue to support active teams and will provide branded recycling bins for waste paper, plastic, bottle caps, and pet supplies," said the resource center's director.

Mosvolonter Alexander Levit.

How to take part in the promotion

To receive a useful eco-box, participants in the "Green Future 2.0" campaign must fulfill several mandatory requirements. Teams must collect over 50 kilograms of one type of recyclable material—plastic, waste paper, or bottle caps. They must also publish more than two posts about the campaign on the organization's social media pages and detail their environmental volunteering experience in their application.

To receive a certificate of appreciation from the Mosvolonter Resource Center along with an eco-box, participants must complete all mandatory tasks and at least one additional one. For example, they can bring a bag of pet supplies, record a video presentation about the organization's activities and its experience in environmental volunteering, or attach certificates and certificates for participating in environmental events to their application.

Participants will receive points for completing each task, and the total will determine the winners. Teams that complete some of the mandatory tasks will receive commemorative souvenirs. Unique informational leaflets on the rules for collecting plastic, waste paper, and bottle caps will also be developed for organizations.

After the collection is complete, the team must register for the event, complete the form on the website, and attach high-quality photographs of the collected recyclable materials, broken down by fraction. It is important that the photographs clearly show the volume and type of materials collected. The application must include links and a list of the environmental events the team participated in. The number of boxes each organization will receive will be announced after the results of the campaign are announced.

Participants can personally donate collected recyclables to nearby eco-centers. Pet supplies are accepted at the "Good Place" volunteer centers — their addresses are listed on the website. Mosvolonter.

The boxes are decorated in purple tones with pink accents. The front of the container bears the inscription "I do good deeds" and the symbol of the Mosvolonter center—a white outline of a matryoshka doll. The sides of the box indicate the type of waste it is intended for, as well as the requirements for the collected materials. Containers with a capacity of up to 100 liters do not require much space. The size depends on the type of waste collected. For example, boxes for pet products are larger than those for waste paper or bottle caps.

Together with parents and teachers

The "Mayak" volunteer team has been developing environmental awareness at School No. 1296 for over eight years. The team participated in the "Green Future" campaign in 2023 and won branded boxes. Natalya Golovanova, Advisor to the Principal for Education and Interaction with Children's Public Organizations and the head of the volunteer team, explained that the branded boxes were placed in the school's environmental awareness corner. After participating in the campaign, the students began sorting waste at home, collecting recyclable materials, and asking their parents about battery drop-off points.

"We posted brightly colored notices throughout the school and promoted the campaign on our social media pages. It was important to convey not only its essence but also its purpose—helping nature and animal shelters. There was even a competition between classes, which generated greater interest in the campaign. The team's activists collected recyclables and told their classmates about the marathon. The waste paper was brought in sorted, without paper clips or files, and neatly bound. The bottle caps had to be washed and labels removed. This required greater attention and discipline from the participants. Many parents supported us by bringing recyclables from home and work," shared Natalya Golovanova.
