Order No. 3530-r of December 1, 2025

By the end of 2025, more than 30 regions will receive partial reimbursement for the costs of implementing genomic selection programs in livestock breeding. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed an order allocating 264.5 million rubles for this purpose. This decision will contribute to strengthening Russia's food security.

The funds are intended, among other things, for Crimea, Mordovia, Tatarstan, Perm Krai, Arkhangelsk, Bryansk, Voronezh, Kaliningrad, Lipetsk, Tula and Yaroslavl regions.

Efforts to develop genomic selection involve molecular genetic testing of young cattle. This provides information on the authenticity of the young cattle's lineage and the absence of genetic diseases, as well as determines their breeding value.

The rules for co-financing the costs of developing genomic selection in livestock breeding were approved by the Government in August 2025. According to them, a federal budget subsidy can cover up to 70% of the actual costs incurred by breeding farms. Funds are provided based on an agreement between the Ministry of Agriculture and regional authorities.

The work is being carried out within the framework of the federal project "Creating conditions for the development of scientific research in breeding and genetics," which is part of the national project to ensure technological leadership "Technological support for food security."

Dmitry Grigorenko: IT company revenue grew by almost 20% in the first half of 2025.

The Russian IT industry maintained positive growth dynamics in the first half of 2025 across key indicators, such as company revenue and the amount of taxes and insurance premiums paid. The results of monitoring key IT industry indicators were presented by the Digital Economy Autonomous Non-Profit Organization. The monitoring is conducted quarterly at the request of Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

"The monitoring results for the first half of the year demonstrate that the IT industry is developing successfully thanks to numerous government support measures and occupies a significant place in the national economy. For example, revenue from sales of goods and services (both owned and purchased) by IT organizations amounted to 5.5 trillion rubles, representing a 17% increase compared to the same period in 2024. The total amount of taxes and insurance premiums paid by IT organizations increased by 20%, exceeding 1 trillion rubles," noted Dmitry Grigorenko.

The Digital Economy ANO methodology allows for a more comprehensive and accurate assessment of the effects of government support. And these effects are significant: in the first half of 2025, revenue from sales of goods and services (both internal and purchased) by IT organizations increased by 17% compared to the same period in 2024, reaching 5.5 trillion rubles.

The total amount of taxes and insurance premiums paid by IT organizations increased by 20%, exceeding 1 trillion rubles. The growth in tax revenues by IT organizations significantly exceeds the overall growth in taxes for the economy (14%). The share of taxes paid by IT organizations in total tax revenues for the first half of 2025 was 4.7%.

The growth in the number of people employed in the IT industry amounted to 3% compared to the same period in 2024. The share of IT workers in the total number of employed people amounted to 3.1%.

Investments in non-financial assets increased by 16% year-on-year, reaching 390 billion rubles in the first half of the year. This growth in investment is supporting the expansion and modernization of infrastructure, which has a positive impact on the quality and volume of services provided. The stable investment growth (15% in the first quarter and 17% in the second quarter of 2025) can be seen as a result of internal stabilization and confidence in the future.

The Digital Economy Autonomous Non-Profit Organization (ANO) was commissioned to develop a methodology for assessing the IT industry in July 2024. HSE University also conducts a similar assessment, but it focuses on analyzing the performance of companies belonging to the "core" IT-OKVED 62.1 and 63.0 codes (while e-commerce platforms, online educational platforms, game publishers, integrators, and other companies were not included in the assessment). ANO Digital Economy's methodology is based on assessing the performance of accredited IT organizations (the IT Company Registry). Currently, the registry includes approximately 20,000 organizations, and these include not only companies with the "core" IT-OKVED codes.

This methodology allows us to assess the effectiveness of public investment in the IT sector and collect data for management decision-making on the development of the IT sector in Russia. To improve accuracy and expand the range of indicators, departmental data is used, primarily data from the Federal Tax Service of Russia. Data from the Central Bank of Russia and the Federal Customs Service (to calculate export indicators), as well as the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Digital Development, are also used (to assess the volume of state support). Rosstat data is used, in the absence of other data sources, to estimate the volume of IT sector organizations' expenditures on the implementation and use of digital technologies, the volume of investments in non-financial assets, the volume of R&D expenditures, the level of AI technology adoption, and the level of import substitution.

Master classes will also be held for students from music schools in the city.

The most powerful impression, I think, is when they tell you before a concert that the guys are heading to the front lines tomorrow. Then some inner reserves kick in, no matter if it's hot or cold, whether there's a sound system or not, you manage to give 200 percent. There's no other way. Those memories will never be erased from my memory. I thought I had to play something purely life-affirming, but it turned out that Pyotr Tchaikovsky's Sentimental Waltz can move you to tears. That's how sensitive the audience is there. Hripsime Airapetyants, soloist with the Moscow Virtuosi orchestra

Since 2023, the artist has been participating in concert programs in the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, the Republic of Crimea, as well as in the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions for participants of the Special Military Operation (SVO). As a soloist, she has also performed at the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, the Madrid Philharmonic, the Sacramento Concert Society Hall, and other venues. Hripsime Ayrapetyants has also participated in international music festivals in Colmar (France), Bermuda, the David Oistrakh Festival in Estonia, and the Open Music Fest in Armenia.

For her personal contribution to the development of military musical culture and strengthening the morale of military personnel, the Russian Ministry of Defense awarded Ripsime Ayrapetyants the medals "For Aid and Mercy" and "Major General Alexander Alexandrov."

In addition to performing for soldiers in the SVO zone, the artist participates in concerts for civilians and conducts master classes for music school students in the Donetsk People's Republic.
