Novosibirsk State University and the largest grid company in the Sovetsky District of Novosibirsk, the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Energy and Water Supply Management," have signed a cooperation agreement.

"We are interested in the dynamic development of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise UEV, and therefore are ready to support joint projects, including those within the NSU Center for Artificial Intelligence. This organization has recently undergone positive changes, and it is very important for us that UEV continues to operate at the same dynamic pace," commented NSU Rector and RAS Academician Mikhail Fedoruk.

"In the first stage, we will build a heat supply model for a specific heating district, which will allow us, firstly, to monitor and manage the parameters of the centralized heating system, and secondly, to predict the occurrence of various non-standard situations," said Alexander Lyulko, Director of the NSU Center for Artificial Intelligence.

The model, using sensors already installed in the experimental area, will clearly and accurately identify emerging leaks in real time, reducing detection and response time. Precise parameters of current consumption will allow for the regulation of heat supply, ensuring the required temperature in all users' spaces while avoiding unnecessary costs.

Energy is a fairly conservative industry, and the cost of error can be very high, as it involves supplying heat and water to thousands of residents of apartment buildings. Therefore, the initial phase will involve developing a model for a single heating district. If this pilot project is successful, FSUE UEV is prepared to quickly scale it up to other parts of its infrastructure.

"This is a very important project for us. Following its implementation, we plan to digitalize our networks as much as possible, which will allow us to make decisions more quickly, reduce the time it takes to resolve emergency situations, and significantly improve the efficiency of our services. Overall, we will have a more objective picture of the state of our systems, which will allow us to better plan and execute our work," emphasized Dmitry Burdenko, Director of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise UEV.

Recently, the university and the science city of Koltsovo launched a similar project to create a system for monitoring the condition of heating networks and predicting potential accidents and heat leaks, also integrating it with a digital assistant.

The successful implementation of such pilot projects at the Koltsovo and Akademgorodok sites will allow us to discuss the future replication of this approach.

"Virtually every municipality in our country faces similar challenges, and, of course, solutions that have already been tested elsewhere will generate significantly greater interest. The Center is now entering a phase where we are moving from theoretical work to creating concrete digital products and services based on this research, embracing the use of artificial intelligence in urban management and the construction industry. As a reminder, the practical application of our developments was one of the key conditions for opening the Center," concluded Alexander Lyulko.

The university expects to receive the first results of its collaboration with the Koltsovo municipal service providers and the Federal State Unitary Enterprise UEV in the near future.

Moscow Museum Week. Exhibition "Unrealized Projects of the 20th Century. From Sretenka to Prospekt Mira"

As part of the Moscow Museum Week event, visitors can view the exhibition "Unrealized Projects of the 20th Century: From Sretenka to Prospekt Mira" free of charge at the Garden Ring Museum.

The exhibition explores architectural plans for the district's transformation that were never realized or underwent significant changes during the design and construction process. Historically, Sretenka was a shopping street: small shops stood side by side with low-class taverns and bars, and a huge market operated near the Sukharev Tower, where thieves from all over Moscow sold stolen goods. The infamous reputation of these areas began to change in the 1910s, when large retail and apartment buildings appeared on Sretenka. With the advent of Soviet power, which actively undertook urban reconstruction, the district acquired a new appearance. Trees on the Garden Ring were cut down, the Sukharev Tower was demolished, 1st Meshchanskaya Street was widened and lined with monumental buildings, and in 1957 it became part of Moscow's new thoroughfare, Prospekt Mira. The buildings on display here today are both a showcase of Soviet architecture and a vibrant collection of postmodernist designs from the 1990s.

The exhibition focuses on projects conceived by architects for Sretenka and Prospekt Mira, which underwent significant changes along the way or were never built at all: for example, the GIPROMEZ building, residential buildings for the USSR Ministry of Agriculture, and the exhibition hall of the Union of Artists of the RSFSR. In some cases, construction was interrupted by the outbreak of war, while in others, plans were revised due to lack of funds or dramatic shifts in urban planning and architectural policy. The exhibition features sketches, drawings, and photographs of models, introducing the viewer to the original designs of the Vesnin brothers, Ivan Fomin, Kirill Afanasyev, Grigory Barkhin, Iosif Loveiko, and many other prominent 20th-century architects. Supplemented with contemporary photographs, they allow the viewer to compare these plans with the area's current topography and imagine what it might have been like had these plans been realized.

How young people preserve history

Maxim Rybalchenko began his volunteer career at major federal forums, where he first discovered the power of volunteerism. His true calling was helping with the International Volunteer Corps for the 80th Anniversary of Victory. He was inspired by the opportunity to be part of important historical events and, through his own example, to show his peers how to preserve and pass on historical memory. He participated in a wide range of patriotic events—from meetings with veterans and memorial and patronage events to memorable city events (such as the Memory Line, the St. George Ribbon, and others). The most memorable and meaningful event for him was the Victory Day Parade on Red Square.

"The International Volunteer Corps has inspired even those who hadn't previously considered volunteering. Today, many of them regularly attend meetings with veterans, offering them attention and care. Participation in the November forum is important for every volunteer. As the winner of the 'Victory Ambassadors. Moscow' competition, I want to join like-minded people to review the year and share experiences with colleagues from the regions," said Maxim Rybalchenko.

How the older generation passes on the baton of memory

Silver Volunteer Lyudmila Panova became a volunteer in 2019. Her sincere desire to do good deeds developed into a systematic approach. She has tried her hand at a wide variety of volunteer activities, but patriotic events have always held a special place in her heart. As part of the 80th Anniversary of Victory Day volunteer corps, she participated in many events (such as the St. George's Ribbon, Victory Train, and Streets of Heroes, as well as patronage events). Her most powerful experience was meeting former concentration camp prisoners. Lyudmila shared that her skills for helping veterans were ingrained in her during her youth, during the Timurov movement.

She wanted to tell young people about the events of the war years and share her knowledge. Lyudmila noted that her grandfather and father fought in the Great Patriotic War, and her mother was a veteran of the labor front. She said that grandchildren and great-grandchildren should know history, which is why the work of the International Volunteer Corps of the 80th Anniversary of Victory is so important. "Volunteers inspire others through their actions and pass the baton of memory to the younger generation," Lyudmila added.

Moscow is developing modern services to improve passenger service and enhance transport accessibility in areas far from the city center, according to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry. Maxim LiksutovThe "Po Puti" (Po Puti) transportation service has been helping city residents for four years. It operates in the New Moscow and the Skolkovo Innovation Center (IC). Comfortable buses pick up passengers at 320 stops upon request. "Po Puti" provides safe rides to social and cultural sites.

"Modern compact buses help people get to their destinations in New Moscow and the Skolkovo Innovation Center quickly and comfortably every day. Over the past four years, passengers have used the 'On the Way' service 2.5 million times. We continue to develop urban transport, as instructed by Sergei Sobyanin," noted Maxim Liksutov.

The service helps you get to six metro stations and Moscow Central Diameters (MCD), including Prokshino and Buninskaya Alleya metro stations, as well as the Shcherbinka, Ostafyevo, Silikatnaya MCD-2, and Skolkovo MCD-1 stops.

Buses driven by professional Mosgortans drivers arrive at the designated stops after you order them through the app. Moscow TransportEach bus offers seats with individual lighting, tables, and charging stations for devices. The buses are also equipped with video surveillance and climate control. Fare can be paid by credit card. Schoolchildren, students, and pensioners with a Muscovite card receive discounted fares.

The "Po Puti" (On the Way) transportation service has been operating since 2021 and is constantly evolving. Initially, transportation was only available in the New Moscow area, but since the end of 2022, small buses have also been operating within the Skolkovo Innovation Center. Eight more new stops will be added in 2025.

In accordance with the objectives of the national project Infrastructure for Life Moscow is placing significant emphasis on modernizing its social and public infrastructure, including increasing the number of convenient public transportation routes and upgrading its rolling stock.

For Senior Citizens Day, participants of the Moscow Longevity project and orphans released a cookbook with recipes from the dishes they prepared during their joint classes. It was posted onspecial page on the website of the Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of the City of Moscow.

The Silver Mentoring project began two and a half years ago. It brought together participants of the Moscow Longevity project and children from orphanages. Since then, the children and their Silver Mentors have held approximately 850 joint events. Cooking master classes are especially popular.

"The strength of the Silver Mentoring project lies in its diversity. Each center offers unique activities that engage both children and mentors: together, they master video editing, learn to pitch tents, go on excursions around Moscow, and read fairy tales. But cooking is a special experience that unites everyone. Baking, salads, sweets, and even homemade preserves from home-grown vegetables are just a part of our culinary creativity. I am confident that these skills will provide a solid foundation for the children and will help them both in their future families and in their independent lives," noted Tatyana Danko, Head of the Moscow Guardianship and Trusteeship Department.

Department of Labor and Social Protection.

Suvorov's porridge and pancake traditions

On the recipe page, you can find not only instructions for preparing various dishes, but also legends that the "silver" mentors shared with children while cooking.

For example, mentor Galina Chirova told the students at the Yury Nikulin Center for Assistance to Family Education that the recipe for soldier's porridge was once invented by the famous military leader Alexander Suvorov. During a difficult march through the Alps, he ordered all the soldiers' food supplies to be collected and cooked together. The cauldron contained grains, vegetables, peas, and stewed meat. This is how soldier's porridge was born, which warmed and nourished generations of Russian soldiers. Galina herself learned this from her father, a veteran of the Great Patriotic War.

Food often helps preserve folk traditions. For example, in Rus', the custom of going door-to-door was associated with blini: on Maslenitsa, people would visit friends and always treat themselves to blini to share the joy before the long fast. Galina Krasnova, a "silver" mentor, remembers this tradition. She shared not only the recipe but also the story behind it with the students at the Sputnik Family Support Center. In the communal apartment where she spent her childhood, each family made blini using their own signature recipes: thin yeast blini, wheat blini, buckwheat blini, or blini with toppings. Everyone would gather around one large table, set it with various dishes, and share the treats with each other, like one big family.

Fortune telling with dumplings

Many superstitions were associated with pelmeni. In large families, several generations would make them. Some pelmeni even had surprises hidden inside them. This transformed an ordinary lunch or dinner into a fun fortune-telling experience. A coin promised wealth, a ring a quick wedding, and a grain of grain meant prosperity in the home. It was believed that such a ritual not only predicted the future but also brought good luck and prosperity to the home. "Silver" mentor Valentina Lyskova preserved this tradition and shared it with her children. In her family, the recipe for lucky pelmeni is passed down from generation to generation. She replaced coins and rings with edible surprises: a raisin foretells joy, a sprig of dill health, and a berry good luck.

The page also features recipes for pie, stuffed pumpkin, Easter cake, jam, charlotte, potato, sauerkraut, and other dishes. A special menu item is gnocchi, based on the grandmother's recipe by Italian chef Mirko Zago, who held a master class for children and instructors. The ingredients for this unusual dish are readily available in any kitchen, as it's based on mashed potatoes and mushrooms.

You can read warm stories and learn time-tested recipes atlinkThe participants plan to add new ideas, legends, and stories of happy moments in the kitchen to the collection.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Over the past 10 years, approximately 450 transport facilities have been improved in the capital. This year, more than 40 such facilities, covering a total area of over 350 hectares, are planned to be improved: these include metro stations, Moscow Central Diameters (MCD) railway stations, Moscow city railway stations, and other areas. Sergei Sobyanin announced this in his address. blog.

"An important area for improving the quality of Moscow's public transportation is the improvement of areas around transport facilities. Narrow paths are being replaced by convenient sidewalks everywhere. Chaotic parking is being replaced by organized spaces. Modern streetlights, benches, and green recreation areas are appearing," the Moscow Mayor wrote.

Last year, convenient approaches and ramps were installed near the Kuskovo station of the Moscow Central Diameters (MCD)-4, allowing for quick transfers from ground transportation to MCD trains.

On 2-ya Vladimirskaya and Novoteterka Streets, sidewalks were widened, road surfaces were renewed, modern energy-saving streetlights and new bus stop shelters were installed, and grass was laid out.

This year, a sports complex with a pump track, skate park, and streetball and volleyball courts was installed on Novoteterki Street.

Near the Sokolniki metro station on the Big Circle Line, a small transit park between 5th Sokolnicheskaya Street and Matrosskaya Tishina Street has been landscaped. It now offers a comfortable, quiet spot for relaxation with walking paths, park furniture, and pergolas with swings. Specialists have laid out a lawn, and in late fall, linden trees, lilacs, and perennials will be planted in the park, along with a cotoneaster hedge.

Work has been completed on creating a pedestrian route from a residential area to the Vnukovo Airport metro station in the Vnukovo district. A controlled crossing over Borovskoye Highway has been installed, sidewalks and driveways to residential buildings have been improved, grass has been laid, and modern streetlights have been installed. Improvements to the Central Park will soon be completed.

A comfortable public space has been created next to the Otradnoye metro station. Green recreation areas have been created near the station's exits, and pergolas with swings have been installed.

Cozy parks have been landscaped on Khachaturyan and Dekabristov Streets. Another recreation area at the intersection of Severny Boulevard and Dekabristov Street has been renovated: a lawn has been laid out, benches have been installed, and lighting has been installed.

A vacant lot near the multi-level park-and-ride facility on Severny Boulevard has been transformed into a terraced public space in an eco-style with unusual lanterns and comfortable wooden benches on a retaining wall made of architectural concrete. A variety of plants will be planted here in late autumn.

At the intersection of Khachaturyan and Kargopolskaya streets, a children's playground and a sports ground were built.

Convenient pedestrian routes have been added near the Ostankino station on the Moscow Central Diameters 3 (MCD-3). Approaches and access roads have been built, making transfers between different modes of transport more convenient.

Sidewalks on Novomoskovskaya Street and Dubovoy Roshchi Driveway were widened, the road surface was renewed, and lighting poles were replaced. New bus shelters were also installed, and parking was created for drivers.

Work is underway in the areas adjacent to the Novokhokhlovskaya MCC and MCD stations. To make access to the MCD convenient and safe, a sidewalk on piles with decking and lighting will be installed along the embankment.

A complex of five shelters will be built near the Slavyansky Bulvar city railway station, using the "dry feet" principle. This will make transfers to buses from the Slavyansky Bulvar MCD station and the Slavyansky Bulvar metro station comfortable in any weather.

We've completed 85 percent of the planned work near the Domodedovskaya transport hub. We've also cleaned up the area near the Domodedovskaya metro station, as well as parts of the Kashirskoye Shosse, Orekhovy Boulevard, and Domodedovskaya and General Belov Streets bypass roads.

Nearly 13 kilometers of overhead power lines were relocated underground, over 1.2 kilometers of stormwater drainage pipes were installed, and sidewalks and driveways were resurfaced. Old streetlights were replaced with modern energy-efficient LED fixtures. Contrast lighting was installed at the crossings. A lawn was laid, and trees will be planted in late fall.

Along the Kashirskoye Highway bypass, in the area separating the highway from residential buildings, the walkways have been repaved, the stairs and ramps have been repaired, and a lawn has been laid. Three playgrounds, two multi-purpose sports areas, and one workout area, will also be renovated. They will be paved with rubber crumb surfaces to prevent injuries from falls, and modern sports equipment will be installed, along with children's play structures for children of all ages.

The football field near Building 98, Block 1 on Kashirskoye Shosse will also be renovated. The rubber surface will be replaced with artificial turf, and new goals and fencing netting will be installed.

"A comprehensive approach to public improvement includes creating a barrier-free environment, installing modern bus stops, well-designed lighting, and high-quality landscaping. This improves the comfort of the urban environment, ensures convenient transfers between different modes of transport, and creates new points of attraction in the districts," the Moscow Mayor concluded.
