Sergei Sobyanin opened traffic on a section of Kommunarskoye Highway with an overpass across Alexandra Monakhova Street.

"We continue active road construction. This year, we will build approximately 100 kilometers of roads, 19 bridges, overpasses, flyovers, and 22 underpasses and overpasses. Furthermore, we have launched three major road concessions, which are also designed to improve traffic in Moscow. Today, we are launching a relatively small but important project—a bypass of the Kaluga Highway from the Solntsevo-Butovo-Varshavskoye Highway to the Moscow Ring Road. It will improve transportation services to the large Moscow district of Kommunarka, where over 150,000 people already live, and will reduce overall congestion on the Kaluga Highway," said the Moscow Mayor.

The new highway will reduce traffic congestion on Kaluga Highway, Alexandra Monakhova Street, and Projected Drive No. 812 from Bachurinskaya Street to Kommunarskoye Highway by approximately five percent.

"The Kommunarka and Novomoskovskaya metro stations will become more accessible, and bus route C999 will be rerouted to them. Travel time from the Moscow Ring Road to the Solntsevo-Butovo-Varshavskoye Shosse highway will be reduced threefold, from 30 to 10 minutes," Sergei Sobyanin wrote on his channel in

The new road will improve service on the popular C999 bus route, which connects local residents to metro stations, public services, and other important city amenities.

The first section of the future Kaluga Highway alternate, a three-kilometer straight line, opened in 2020. The new road provided a direct exit from Kommunarka to the Moscow Ring Road, bypassing Kaluga Highway. That same year, a 500-meter overpass was commissioned at the intersection of Projected Driveway No. 7051 and the Solntsevo-Butovo-Varshavskoe Highway.

"Kommunarka is one of the main centers of development in our city. For comfortable living, the new district needs

schools, kindergartens, metro stations and, of course, roads,” the Mayor of Moscow emphasized on his channel in MAX messenger.

In January 2026, construction of the second section (from Projected Driveway No. 812 to the Solntsevo-Butovo-Varshavskoe Shosse highway) was completed. This is two kilometers in a straight line with two traffic lanes in each direction.

In total, five kilometers of roads were built and reconstructed as part of this project, including the main route, the overpass across Alexandra Monakhova Street (482 meters), side roads, and adjacent streets. As part of the landscaping, 9.5 hectares of lawns were laid.

“We plan to extend the road to the highway by the end of 2028

Voskresenskoye – Karakashevo – Shcherbinka, as a result of which its length will almost double and will be about 10 kilometers,” Sergei Sobyanin noted on his channel in MAX messenger.

These formats allow artists to present their work in significant public spaces. Alexey Fursin, Minister of the Moscow Government and Head of the Moscow Department of Culture

Winners of the qualifying rounds have the opportunity to showcase their talent at major city events. For example, the top 10 musicians from the "Line-up Mosproducer" project delighted audiences at the Moscow graduation and on City Day, while the project's stars "Mosproducer Showcase" presented their work to thousands of visitors to Zaryadye Park at the "Territory of the Future. Moscow 2030" forum, and visitors to the Gorky Park skating rink enjoyed tracks from the best participants of the "Mosproducer Playlist | Music in Parks" project.

Six minutes to the big stage

Along with its popular flagship projects, the Moscow Production Center is also implementing new initiatives to promote emerging artists. Last year, a two-stage competitive selection process for the "Mosproducer Showcase" project was held. From 578 applications, experts selected 23 finalists, and after live auditions, 16 winners were selected.

"Those who made it to the finals had just six minutes to impress the jury. The most talented musicians performed in front of thousands of spectators in the small amphitheater and on the main stage of Zaryadye Park as part of the summer forum 'Territory of the Future. Moscow 2030,'" continues Ekaterina Yankina.

The project turned out to be a unique creative find "Symphosynthesis: Retrospective", which appeared in late 2023. It combines music, choreography, and digital works by artists. Multimedia concerts featuring a symphony orchestra and the production center's resident artists were held in 2025 in Zaryadye Park and the Mosproducer Hall on Marshal Malinovsky Street.

"Artists and musicians receive professional expertise and advice on developing their creativity, finding an audience, and gaining popularity.

Change time zones

Mosproducer's large-scale projects annually uncover new names in the arts and provide a strong start for emerging artists. The group "Snimki," finalists of the "Mosproducer Line-Up 2024" project and artists of the "Tavrida.ART" label, moved from Novosibirsk to Moscow after a successful debut on the Moscow stage. Last year, the young glam rock performers received the Mosproducer Award for Best Integration of the Year for their performance of the legendary track "Pilots," which they adapted and performed at a concert commemorating Leonid Utesov's 130th birthday on the main stage in Zaryadye Park.

"Our band formed five years ago, during our first year at university. We started with covers of rock hits, performing at various events, student competitions, and festivals, but our real breakthrough came during our 2024 graduation in Moscow at Gorky Park. Thanks to Mosproducer, we found ourselves sharing the stage with A-list pop stars. Since then, we've participated in various projects with the production center, and at the end of last year, we finally moved to Moscow. We have a song called 'Time Zones,' and we decided not to change it: we gave up our tickets to Novosibirsk and stayed in the capital," recalls Snimki vocalist Yegor Sinitsyn.

Today, he, guitarist Matvey Aparin, and drummer Platon Parcelli write music together, rehearse, participate in radio and television castings, and participate in Mosproducer projects as residents.

"Mosproducer provides invaluable experience performing at large venues in front of thousands of people. His team are professionals, and the organization of competitions and concerts is top-notch. We hope this collaboration will be a starting point for us on our journey to the top. We're currently working on a huge hit and dreaming of releasing our first album," the musician shares.

Characters from Chukovsky's almanac decorated a bookstore.

Supporting young artists remains a key focus of Mosproducer. This year, the flagship project "Contours of Culture" will celebrate its fifth anniversary. During this time, artists (or winners of previous seasons) have decorated over 60 urban spaces with murals: theater venues, cultural centers, libraries, bookstores, and more.

One of the winners of the project's latest season, designer, architect, and artist Polina Gavrilova, painted the windows and walls of the "House of Books on Leninsky Prospekt." She was inspired by Korney Chukovsky's legendary almanac, "Chukokkala."

"This was my first major competition as an artist. While working on the sketches for the entry, I attempted to rework the almanac's motifs into digital collage art. These characters reflect contemporary cultural codes and the spirit of the times and serve as a unique visual stop amid the hustle and bustle of the city," says Polina Gavrilova.

The artist spent a month working on the collage. Assistants from Mosproducer assisted her with the painting. During this time, the store welcomed visitors who inquired about the new design, and some even contributed a few brushstrokes.

"Mosproducer gave me great confidence in myself and that I'm heading in the right direction. I also have a lot of content for social media, beautiful photographs, and publications in various publications, and I've participated in film shoots. This year, I'd like to hold a solo exhibition with Mosproducer, and my cherished dream is to open cultural clusters in all regions of Russia and introduce contemporary artists and musicians to the public," she shared with mos.ru.

Printed versions of the mural miniatures by the winners of the "Contours of Culture" project are displayed on the façade of the New Manege. You can also explore the work of Mosproducer's resident artists in the renovated "Hall No. 7" space on Marshal Malinovsky Street. Exhibitions, tours, and meetings with artists working in a variety of media—from painting and graphic art to mosaics and digital art—are held there.
