The Moscow government has decided to make one-time payments from the city budget to Moscow athletes who won and runners-up at the 25th Summer Deaflympics in 2025, as well as their coaches. This was announced on its channel in MAX messenger Sergei Sobyanin reported.

The Deaflympics are a sports competition for people with hearing impairments. They are held under the auspices of the International Committee of Sports for the Deaf. Participants are prohibited from using hearing aids or implants during the competition.

The 25th Summer Deaflympics were held in Tokyo, Japan, from November 15 to 26, 2025. Approximately 3,000 athletes from 81 countries participated. Competitions were held in 21 sports, including badminton, freestyle, Greco-Roman, and freestyle wrestling, cycling (road and mountain), golf, judo, karate, track and field, table tennis, swimming, tennis, taekwondo, and others.

Russia was represented by 36 neutral athletes competing individually in 13 disciplines, including 12 Muscovites (which is a third of the total number of athletes from Russia).

Russian athletes won 40 medals at the Games, including 29 gold, eight silver, and three bronze. Muscovites made a significant contribution to this result, winning 10 medals (accounting for 25 percent of the total Russian medal count) – nine gold (31 percent) and one silver (13 percent). Six Moscow athletes won medals or medals in five events at the Deaflympic Games in Japan.

The following athletes won the Deaflympic Championship: Mikhail Efremov, Shokhzod Gulomzoda, and Elena Tyurina (badminton), Alexey Shemarov (Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestling), Sergey Tetyushkin (karate), and Dmitry Dolzhenkov (tennis). Mikhail Efremov (badminton) also won a silver medal.

"We've decided to reward the athletes and pay the champions four million rubles for each title, and the silver medalist 2.5 million rubles. Coaches and teachers will receive half of this amount for each prize. Congratulations to the athletes and everyone who led them to such an outstanding result! I wish them continued success!" wrote Sergei Sobyanin.

Sergei Sobyanin In his annual report on the Moscow Government's performance, he thanked the President of the Russian Federation and the residents of the capital for their work, assistance, and support.

"A huge thank you to President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, the parliament, the Russian government, and our neighbors and friends from the Moscow region for their ongoing assistance and support. Dear deputies, thank you for your teamwork for the benefit of Muscovites," said Sergei Sobyanin.

He noted that industry, science, finance, information technology, construction, trade, catering, tourism, the creative sector, media, transport, social services, energy, and housing and utilities—all of this together forms a solid foundation for the city's development.

"The year 2025 has brought many good things to our city. And for this, I offer a huge thank you to Muscovites—strong, hardworking, and courageous people who truly love their hometown and wish it only the best," said Sergei Sobyanin in a grateful voice.

The Mayor of Moscow emphasized that, despite all the difficulties and challenges, plans were fulfilled in the past year and a good foundation was laid for successful work in 2026.

Large-scale improvement and development of all-season infrastructure for recreation and sports is one of Moscow's key priorities. This will help enhance the city's appeal to residents and visitors, Sergei Sobyanin stated in his annual report on the Moscow Government's performance.

"The climate is changing, city residents' ideas about quality recreation are evolving, and new opportunities and technologies are emerging. Therefore, a radical overhaul of the 10-15-year-old infrastructure is needed," the Moscow Mayor noted.

Eleven all-season sports fields have opened in the city's districts, replacing artificial ice rinks or empty spaces. In winter, they offer ice skating, and in summer, volleyball, basketball, and other sports. Dozens, even hundreds, more such fields will be built in the city in the coming years.

The main ski slopes—approximately 500 kilometers—are planned to be equipped with artificial snowmaking systems. The first flagship slope opened this season in the 850th Anniversary of Moscow Park.

Dozens of summer recreation areas, including outdoor swimming pools, are being created across the city. This year, the city's streets and stadiums were also opened up for mass exercise. Millions of Muscovites participated in marathons, bike rides, and other events, so this tradition will continue.

"Our goal is to systematically improve Moscow's urban environment, not only in the center but throughout the entire city. By 2025, over 700 Moscow streets and squares were given a new look. These are primarily located in ordinary residential areas," added Sergei Sobyanin.

Furthermore, the improvement of Shlyuzovaya, Danilovskaya, Nagatinskaya, and several other embankments made it possible to establish a new pedestrian route along the Moskva River from Balchug Island to the Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve. Within Kolomenskoye itself, the unique Tsarskaya Embankment, stretching 3.5 kilometers, was opened.

Significant changes are taking place in Gorky Park, Sokolniki, Kuzminki, the Luzhniki Sports Complex, and other large Moscow parks, creating new opportunities for quality family recreation.

Several more major projects will be implemented in the coming years. These include the construction of pedestrian bridges that will connect Krylatskoye with the Filevskaya and Mnevnikovskaya floodplains, as well as improvements to Mnevniki itself and the Grebnoy Canal area.

In addition, a comprehensive and careful rehabilitation of the Losiny Ostrov National Park is planned.

The comprehensive program for the development of Moscow education includes several projects to maintain and improve the current results. These include the creation of a modern educational environment, the improvement of the educational process, and the modernization of secondary vocational education (SVE). Sergei Sobyanin outlined this in his annual report on the Moscow Government's performance.

The strategic objective in the field of education and upbringing is to ensure the highest possible quality and accessibility of mass education, as well as the identification and support of talent.

"We are the undisputed champions of the All-Russian Olympiad. Half of Russia's gold medals in international Olympiads were also won by Muscovites. The 2025 Unified State Exam (USE) results were also very good, allowing most graduates to successfully pass the competition and enroll in the university of their dreams," the Moscow Mayor noted.

Creating modern conditions for schoolchildren's education

A key task is to create a modern educational environment that meets the demands of the future. Standard classrooms must be replaced by transformable spaces for working in large and small groups. Schools must increase the number of IT laboratories, physics and chemistry labs, and gyms.

"Every year, we build several dozen new schools that meet these standards. However, implementing projects to create a modern educational environment in old school buildings is practically impossible today. A complete renovation is necessary, which is what we are currently working on. This is a hugely complex task, far larger in scale than the outpatient clinic renovation program. Nevertheless, we have begun implementing it," added Sergei Sobyanin.

As of today, the renovation of the first 55 schools has been completed. In the future, approximately one hundred buildings will be reconstructed and constructed annually. Furthermore, a number of innovative schools of the future are planned for central Moscow. The lessons learned will then be applied to high-density development areas.

Sergei Sobyanin: 55 buildings have already been renovated under the My School program.Sobyanin announced plans to build and reconstruct approximately 120 school buildings.

In total, about a thousand school buildings will be modernized and constructed by 2032. As a result, the majority of Moscow schoolchildren will be taught in modern conditions.

An equally important task is the continuous improvement of the educational process. Particular attention is paid to improving students' mathematical preparation—the foundation for future success in physics, chemistry, computer science, and other subjects.

Modernization of secondary vocational education

The most ambitious project of the coming years is the modernization of secondary vocational education. To achieve this, the curriculum is being completely updated, with practical classes beginning in the first weeks and accounting for at least 70 percent of the curriculum.

"About 1,500 educational laboratories and workshops have been renovated and rebuilt in city colleges. We plan to renovate another 600 laboratories by 2027, completing this program 100 percent. All of them are being equipped with machine tools, instruments, and equipment that are used not only in education but also in real-world production," said Sergei Sobyanin.

Modern practical training facilities have been opened in Rudnevo and Pechatniki. Plans call for the construction of seven more by 2031. innovative educational campuses to accommodate 60,000 students. Their quality will be comparable to that of the best university campuses.

In 2025, 50 percent of ninth-grade graduates chose the career path of a qualified mid-level specialist for the first time. College modernization is yielding positive results, and long-standing stereotypes about vocational education are gradually becoming a thing of the past.

In the coming years, the capital will achieve a new quality of professional education.

In recent years, the city's social protection system has significantly expanded its capacity, providing a modern support service for the elderly, people with disabilities, families with children, and other residents in need of special attention. Sergei Sobyanin outlined this in his annual report on the Moscow Government's performance.

The total budget for this sector has increased to 800 billion rubles.

"From the first days of the special military operation, we placed the families of military personnel, volunteers, contract soldiers, and mobilized Muscovites under special protection," said Sergei Sobyanin.

Today, four years later, the focus of this work is increasingly shifting to veterans of the Air Defense Forces who have completed combat missions and are returning to civilian life.

"We are constantly working to help them find good jobs, establish a better life, and receive the necessary treatment and rehabilitation," the Moscow Mayor added.

Sergei Sobyanin also noted that the Voronovskoye Clinical Center for Infectious Diseases in Moscow operates a unique prosthetic limb center for military personnel with the consequences of war injuries. A specialized outpatient clinic for veterans of the Soviet Military District has been established at the Veterans' Hospital No. 3.

The city has set the goal of creating the best system of mass and accessible healthcare in the world. Sergei Sobyanin outlined the comprehensive program the capital is implementing to achieve this goal in his annual report on the Moscow Government's performance.

"Our goal is to create the world's best system of mass and accessible healthcare, which also requires a transition from isolated measures to a comprehensive, all-encompassing program: a complete overhaul of the material and technical infrastructure, the widespread implementation of modern medical technologies, the proper organization of medical care, and the efficient use of resources," the Moscow Mayor emphasized.

Modernized clinics and new hospitals

In 2025, several unprecedented projects were successfully completed in the capital. The first of these saw the modernization of the outpatient sector almost fully completed. As a result, Muscovites now have fully renovated clinics.

As part of the second project, the implementation of a new emergency care standard was completed. As part of this project, six flagship centers were opened in the capital and 18 emergency departments at children's and adult hospitals were modernized. As a result, the average speed of emergency medical care increased by 50%.

As part of the third project, the reconstruction of approximately 170 hospital buildings was completed and constructed, accounting for approximately half of the entire hospital complex. In 2025, the St. Vladimir Children's Hospital complex was commissioned. As part of the fourth project, six specialized treatment centers for children with chronic illnesses were created. This significantly improved the quality of treatment for young patients and made life easier for their parents.

The fifth project is a comprehensive modernization of the Moscow Multidisciplinary Palliative Care Center. Additional beds have been added and the most comfortable conditions have been created for patients and their families.

Future plans: from creating a fixed link framework to digital transformation

Sergei Sobyanin outlined what will be accomplished in the next few years. Several other large-scale projects are in the active implementation phase. First and foremost is the completion of the modernization of Moscow's women's healthcare system.

"Modern women's health centers will replace cramped, low-capacity clinics. There are already 16 such centers operating in Moscow. Within a year, their number will increase to 25," the Moscow Mayor emphasized.

The second project is the completion of a modern inpatient care framework, which requires upgrading 100 percent of the city hospitals' facilities.

The following important facilities are being built in the capital:

— new buildings of Oncology Hospital No. 62;

— a new treatment and diagnostic complex of the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care;

— a multidisciplinary treatment and diagnostic complex of the Moscow Clinical Research Center "Hospital 52".

Another new children's hospital will also be built in Moscow, which will rank among the best children's hospitals in Russia in terms of its comfort and equipment. Furthermore, a second hospital and several other hospitals are planned for Kommunarka. These will become true hospitals of the future, with comprehensive diagnostic, treatment, and rehabilitation capabilities.

"At the same time, modern technologies and treatment standards are being introduced in city hospitals, significantly reducing hospital stays and improving treatment outcomes. Approximately 80 percent of surgeries today are minimally invasive, the most gentle procedures," added Sergei Sobyanin.

The third major project for the coming years is all related to digital transformation and the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI), which is already a core medical technology. In fact, by 2025, the city will transition to smart appointments in clinics.

Thanks to artificial intelligence, the capital has also achieved breakthrough results in preventing cardiovascular mortality in working-age patients. In just a few months, implementing the new tools has reduced mortality among those in a newly identified risk group by 20 percent.

"Essentially, for the first time, we have transitioned to truly proactive medicine—preventing the development of a disease rather than reacting to an emerging clinical situation. Within a few years, this approach will be extended to many other diseases," the Moscow Mayor emphasized.

The implementation of these projects will enable us to move to a qualitatively new level of urban healthcare.

A balanced transportation system that flexibly adapts to the needs of each resident is the foundation of an efficient city. Sergei Sobyanin outlined this in his annual report on the Moscow Government's performance.

The key objectives of the capital's transport strategy are to ensure the availability of the basic rail framework and urban ground transport for the maximum number of city residents, to improve the quality of rolling stock by introducing the most modern trains, trams and electric buses onto the lines, to improve the situation on the roads and to reduce the harmful impact of transport on the environment.

"We continue to actively develop the metro. In September, construction of the main section of the Troitskaya Line from ZIL to Kommunarka was completed. In October, construction began on the southern section of this line. Construction of the Rublevo-Arkhangelskaya Line is in full swing. Construction of the long-awaited Biryulevskaya Line, as well as Golyanovo and Dostoyevskaya stations, has begun. Preparations are underway for the start of construction of Yuzhny Port station in Pechatniki," the Moscow Mayor noted.

Long-term plans for metro development are already being actively developed. Specifically, plans are underway to extend the Filyovskaya Line, which will provide additional impetus for the development of the Mozhaisk District and the Skolkovo Innovation Center.

The Central Transport Hub's rail infrastructure is being actively modernized. This year, the main organizational issues related to the extension of the Moscow Central Diameters (MCD) to major cities in Central Russia were resolved.

"Of course, the most important event of 2025 was the start of construction on Russia's first high-speed line between Moscow and St. Petersburg. Another major goal is to continue the systematic renewal of public transportation rolling stock. As promised, new trains have arrived on the Zamoskvoretskaya metro line," added Sergei Sobyanin.

On the Green Line, 55 percent of the rolling stock is new. By 2030, the proportion of new metro cars will reach 90 percent.

The MCD rolling stock has also been fully upgraded. Furthermore, trains have begun to be replaced with modern ones on the Yaroslavsky and other Moscow Railway lines.

Furthermore, the Moscow tram will be the first driverless urban transport system in Russia. The initial test in Strogino was quite successful. By 2030, this technology is expected to cover two-thirds of Moscow's tram fleet.

"At the same time, we are beginning to test driverless technologies in the Moscow Metro. To reduce the negative impact of transport on the environment, the Moscow Government will continue to encourage the electrification of public and private transport," said Sergei Sobyanin.

Today, Moscow's transportation system effectively meets current demand from residents and tourists, and its active development paves the way for Moscow's growth for years and even decades to come.

Moscow has become a leader among global megacities in terms of economic size. Sergei Sobyanin announced this in his annual report on the Moscow Government's performance.

"Since 2010, Moscow's gross regional product has grown by 41 percent. Today, we confidently rank second among the world's largest megacities in terms of economic size. By the end of 2025, investment from all sources will likely exceed a staggering nine trillion rubles. This is four times the 2010 figures," the Moscow Mayor noted.

To ensure sustainable economic growth in the coming years, the city plans to develop modern industrial sites, information technology, creative industries, and other sectors.

Modern production sites

Industry is a vital component of the economy. Manufacturing facilities must meet modern requirements.

"Fifteen years ago, in 2010, Moscow had approximately 10 million square meters of industrial space. A significant portion of it was outdated and unsuitable for modern production. Today, the city has over 13 million square meters of high-quality space. And in another five years, we plan to double that number," said Sergei Sobyanin.

The year 2025 saw several significant events for Moscow industry. In September, Russian President Vladimir Putin opened National Space Center— a key object of the future aerospace industry cluster.

Several companies have begun operations in the Technopolis Moscow special economic zone. Among them is the concern KalashnikovSeveral new large pharmaceutical plants have begun production. They specialize in the manufacture of drugs for the treatment of cancer and other serious diseases. Construction has been completed. Moscow Center for Photonics with technologies that are largely unparalleled anywhere in the world. Furthermore, a unique production facility specializing in solar batteries for spacecraft has emerged.

A state-of-the-art facility has opened in Nagatinskaya Poima shipyard for electric shipsThe first one in Moscow has opened in the Ochakovo-Matveevskoye district. food technology park, a unique large-modular housing construction plant also appeared.

"The capital's defense industry is confidently expanding its capacity, making a significant contribution to the special military operation. Plans for the coming years include a significant increase in microelectronics production, which is critical to ensuring Russia's technological leadership," the Moscow Mayor emphasized.

Several more large pharmaceutical manufacturing plants will open in the capital, making the Moscow pharmaceutical cluster the country's largest in terms of production volume. A large factory producing batteries for electric vehicles is planned for operation in Krasnaya Pakhra. New clusters will be established at the Vorobyovy Gory Innovation Science and Technology Center of Lomonosov Moscow State University.

Two more production facilities will open in Moscow under offset contracts.Since 2011, more than 300 industrial facilities have been built in the capital.

Finance and IT

Moscow is the largest financial center in the post-Soviet space. Developing this sector is crucial for the development of not only the city but the entire country.

"In 2022, the financial sector became the main target of our adversaries. There were many negative predictions. But in reality, over the past five years, it has strengthened significantly due to increased lending for infrastructure development projects and the promotion of technological sovereignty in the real sector of the economy," added Sergei Sobyanin.

Moscow banks and financial companies offer high-quality and modern services at a world-class level.

Another fundamental sector on which the country's technological sovereignty depends is information technology. Today, Moscow is a leader in areas such as artificial intelligence and digital twins of physical objects. The medical, educational, and other services created in the capital are used by tens of millions of people across Russia. The IT sector has doubled in size in five years, and its share of the city's economy has reached approximately 10 percent.

Creative industries

The creative industries' contribution to Moscow's gross regional product exceeded 10 percent. The creative sector employs approximately 1.4 million people—almost every fifth worker in the capital.

In 2025, the second phase of the Moskino film park was completed. It became the largest location filming facility in Russia. Construction of the new Gorky Film Studio complex is nearing completion. Expansion of the Moskino film factory studios continues.

"The Moscow film cluster's capacity is booked months in advance and is in demand by most of Russia's largest studios. There are also requests for filming from international filmmakers. In November, a specialized video game industry technology park opened in Skolkovo, with approximately 40 studios, having passed a rigorous competitive selection process, becoming residents. As a result of these projects, we will create one of the world's largest film, media, video game, and animation production clusters," explained the Moscow Mayor.

Also on the agenda is transforming Moscow into a center for fashion, design, and other creative industries in the BRICS countries.

Tourism

Tourism makes a significant contribution to the city's economy. Moscow is becoming increasingly beautiful, thanks in part to hundreds of restored architectural masterpieces.

Convenient walking routes, safety, free high-speed internet, convenient digital services, and a variety of digital services play an important role for travelers.

According to preliminary data, 2025 will be a record year for tourist arrivals. The number of visitors to the capital will reach approximately 26.5 million, and the number of foreign travelers will increase by 10 percent.

The industry's contribution to the city's GDP is increasing every year and could reach six to seven percent by 2030. Furthermore, the hospitality industry provides jobs for hundreds of thousands of Muscovites.

Trade and gastronomy

Retail remains Moscow's largest economic sector. However, it is currently undergoing a systemic transformation driven by the rapid growth in popularity of delivery. The share of online sales in the capital has already reached 20 percent.

A significant change in the sector has been the transformation of the shopping center concept. They are increasingly becoming more of a leisure destination. The city is supporting this trend, including through simplified approval of the necessary urban planning documentation.

In addition, approximately 26 former Soviet cinemas have changed their format and become district "Meeting Places"—points of attraction for city residents of all ages, complete with cultural, catering, retail, and service businesses.

Moscow's calling cards are its thousands of diverse restaurants, cafes, and summer terraces. They are frequented by both locals and visitors. Their development is the result of the hard work of many talented and hardworking Muscovites.
