During Transport Week, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin met with Radiy Khabirov and Rostislav Goldshtein, Heads of the Republic of Bashkortostan and the Komi Republic, as well as Ruslan Kukharuk and Georgy Filimonov, Governors of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra and the Vologda Oblast. The parties discussed the regions' socioeconomic development and their participation in the "Infrastructure for Life" national project.

"Transport Week is a large-scale industry event that brings together representatives of federal government agencies, leading Russian transport companies, and businesses. Many regional leaders attend, so I seize the opportunity to personally discuss current issues with them. Transport infrastructure directly impacts regional development and improves living standards. It not only connects communities and increases population mobility, but also stimulates the economy and tourism, and optimizes supply chains. This synergistic effect is evident in the work of the regional teams, whose leaders I met with today. However, many strategically important projects in this area remain to be implemented to provide a powerful impetus for the country's development and open up new prospects for international relations," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

Marat Khusnullin noted that housing and road infrastructure construction is actively underway in the Republic of Bashkortostan. One significant event was the opening of traffic on the M-12 "Vostok" highway section from the Bashkir town of Dyurtyuli to the village of Achit in the Sverdlovsk Region in July. During the meeting, the construction of a southern bypass around the republic's capital and plans to build another 14-kilometer bridge across the Belaya River were discussed.

"With federal support, we are constructing a large number of projects that have received the necessary funding, including the Southern Gate project, which we are completing in the republic's capital. A number of structures and roads are in the design stage. We will be submitting applications for funding under federal programs and mechanisms. Similar plans exist for the southern bypass of Ufa," added Radiy Khabirov, Head of the Republic of Bashkortostan.

During the meeting with the Head of the Komi Republic, the parties focused on federal support mechanisms and regional resources that will enable a planned approach to infrastructure projects and improve living standards. As of November 1, the region met its housing completion target for the current year, delivering 182,000 square meters. Bringing roads up to standard was a separate topic of discussion. Specifically, the repair of the Syktyvkar-Ukhta-Pechora-Usinsk-Naryan-Mar highway, which extends 880 km within the Komi Republic, was discussed.

"This year, we've repaired over 240 km of roads, which is significantly more than in the previous few years. We've also tackled sections that residents of the Komi Republic have been waiting for. These include the roads to Vuktyl, Troitsko-Pechorsk, Koygorodok, and sections of the Syktyvkar-Naryan-Mar highway. We're currently completing construction of a new bridge across the Lemya River. We're ready to ramp up the pace of the 'Infrastructure for Life' national project," added Rostislav Goldshtein, Head of the Komi Republic.

At a meeting with Ruslan Kukharuk, Governor of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra, Marat Khusnullin noted that road construction is actively underway in the region. In October, the President opened the southern bypass of Surgut, which includes a bridge over the Ob River. Currently, the share of regional roads that meet the standards is 82.8%. Integrated territorial development projects are also being implemented in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. Forty-three areas over 440 hectares have been identified for this purpose, of which 18 projects are currently underway.

"I thank you, Marat Shakirzyanovich, and the Russian Government for supporting Yugra's projects at the federal level. One such example is the early commissioning of the new bridge across the Ob River near Surgut. This systematic work allows us to improve connectivity between territories and ensure comfortable and safe travel for citizens. In 2025 alone, federal co-financing amounted to over 8.5 billion rubles," said Ruslan Kukharuk, Governor of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra.

During a meeting with Vologda Oblast Governor Georgy Filimonov, the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that the region does not have a single program in the red zone. By early November, more than 661,000 square meters of housing had been commissioned in the region, almost 12% higher than the same period last year. Furthermore, the Vologda Oblast has implemented a number of infrastructure projects using budget loans, including the construction of a school, a kindergarten, road infrastructure facilities, and the acquisition of new public transportation.

"In 2027, the Vologda Region will celebrate three significant events: Vologda and Veliky Ustyug will celebrate their 880th anniversary, and Cherepovets will mark its 250th anniversary. We are preparing for these anniversaries daily, and this year alone, we will complete 452 projects in Vologda, 339 projects in Cherepovets, and 51 projects in Veliky Ustyug. We are also working on 14 presidential directives for seven projects, two for each. We are grateful to Marat Shakirzyanovich for his high praise of our work and the pace we have set and continue to increase in construction, landscaping, and the modernization of the housing and utilities system," said Vologda Region Governor Georgy Filimonov.

Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin chaired a meeting of the Government Commission on Regional Development, dedicated to the development of the construction industry and the autumn-winter period. The meeting also reviewed regional applications for treasury infrastructure loans.

"Following the President's instructions, we continue to monitor housing construction in the regions. As of November 1, 2025, 83.6 million square meters of housing were commissioned nationwide. We also note an increase in housing under construction, reaching 120.8 million square meters, a 2% increase compared to last year. Urban development potential has increased to 475 million square meters. Non-residential building commissioning increased by 11.8% compared to the same period in 2024, reaching 29.4 million square meters. The main topic of the headquarters meeting was the autumn-winter period, which has begun across Russia. It is important to ensure reliable heating for all residents," said Marat Khusnullin.

Since the start of the 2025–2026 heating season, the number of accidents has decreased by 18% compared to the previous one. This includes a 27.7% reduction in heat supply accidents and a 14% reduction in water supply accidents.

"This year, preparations are being carried out in accordance with new, enhanced requirements, and the rules for assessing facilities' winter readiness have been improved. Overall, heat has been supplied to all apartment buildings and socially significant facilities. More than 70,000 boiler rooms, 173,500 km of heating networks, and 676,700 km of water supply and wastewater networks have been prepared for the autumn-winter period," noted First Deputy Minister of Construction, Housing and Utilities Alexander Lomakin.

The meeting also addressed capital repairs to apartment buildings. The Deputy Prime Minister noted the importance of this program, as it helps slow the deterioration of buildings. Therefore, he called for an increase in the pace of work.

The meeting focused on the development of digital services in the housing and utilities sector, including the migration of communications to the national messaging app Max. The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that the Ministry of Construction is working on this and has drafted legislation regulating the use of Max by construction and housing and utilities organizations.

"The national Max messenger is more stable and secure than its foreign counterparts. Therefore, it seems appropriate to migrate home chats and communication channels for utility companies, management companies, and capital repair funds to it. To this end, we have initiated the centralized creation of home chats, which are being transferred to the regions for subsequent integration by management companies as administrators," said Marat Khusnullin.

He noted that these tasks cannot be accomplished solely by regional government housing oversight agencies. Therefore, it is necessary to fully engage other relevant government agencies responsible for digitalization, information policy, and housing and utilities.

Following the review of regional applications, meeting participants also approved the provision of treasury infrastructure loans to the Kherson region, Krasnoyarsk Krai, and the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.

Three water supply and sanitation projects worth 295.4 million rubles will be implemented in the Kherson region. Krasnoyarsk Krai will receive 4 billion rubles for the major repairs and reconstruction of road and utility infrastructure in the Arctic zone. The Chukotka Autonomous Okrug will receive 1 billion rubles for the construction of a power facility and the modernization and major repairs of utility infrastructure.

The Treasury Infrastructure Loans (TIL) program is overseen by the Ministry of Construction, and the Territorial Development Fund participates in its implementation.

"The Fund continues to process regional applications for financing infrastructure projects using CFC funds. Applications from 83 regions have already been approved, totaling 359 billion rubles. These funds will be used to upgrade housing and utilities services and develop social, transport, and tourism infrastructure. Implementing these projects is directly important for improving the quality of life in the regions," noted Vasily Kupyzin, Director General of the Fund, following the meeting.

Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova attended the opening ceremony of the International Scientific and Practical Forum "No Statute of Limitations. Nuremberg. 80 Years" at the Manege Central Exhibition Hall.

The forum is being held by the National Center for Historical Memory under the President of the Russian Federation, together with partner organizations, as part of the 80th anniversary of the Nuremberg Trials—an event that marked a significant milestone in establishing accountability for crimes against peace and humanity. The event is taking place in a symbolic space—an exact replica of Hall 600 of the Nuremberg Palace of Justice, where the history of international law was made. From November 20, 1945, to October 1, 1946, the International Military Tribunal held its trial of the major war criminals—the former leaders of Nazi Germany.

"Here, in the heart of our country, in Moscow, Hall 600 has been recreated. It's emotionally difficult to speak in this hall, because you understand what the world saw when the Nuremberg Trials laid bare everything the Nazis did in the occupied territories. During the war, no other nation suffered such losses as the Soviet people. According to the latest data obtained during the "Without Statute of Limitations" project, more than 8,167,000 of our citizens were exterminated within the then-occupied borders of the RSFSR alone. This is a horrific figure, hard to believe. These included women, children, the elderly, and entire families. This is impossible to forget, no matter how much time has passed; it is a memory with no statute of limitations. But understanding all of this gives us an understanding of the great feat of our people during the Great Patriotic War, which preserved our right to life and our statehood. But at the same time, it defines our responsibility to preserve historical truth and historical memory," emphasized Tatyana Golikova.

She noted that it was precisely in the year of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, the Year of Defender of the Fatherland, and the 80th anniversary of the Nuremberg Trials that the President signed the federal law "On the Perpetuation of the Memory of the Victims of the Genocide of the Soviet People during the Great Patriotic War of 1941–1945." Its adoption essentially extends the Nuremberg Principles to modern history. "And in this regard, our concrete work to implement this law is extremely important. And these are not simply memorial events; this work must be aimed at shaping a national consciousness that does not allow the falsification of history and the glorification of Nazism," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

The forum will serve as a platform for discussions dedicated to the historical legacy of the Nuremberg Tribunal and its role in establishing the principles of the modern world order.

During the 2025 Transport Week events, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin presented awards to the best regional road teams. This year, awards were given to 10 regions that achieved high performance in implementing the road component of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project.

"Last year, we completed the 'Safe, High-Quality Roads' national project with good results. This year, as part of the 'Infrastructure for Life' national project, we're ahead of schedule in paving. We also continue to implement large-scale projects such as the 'North-South' and 'West-East' international corridors, and the Azov Transport Ring. We're also making good progress in the regions, including the reunified ones. We've signed memoranda with all regions on road network development, so we have a plan for the next six years. It's important to maintain momentum. It's become a tradition for many regions to receive 'golden rollers' awards year after year for their systematic work. This demonstrates that roads are truly improving. Today also marks Transport Workers' Day. I'd like to point out that your responsible and essential work ensures comfortable and safe travel for people, improves the country's transport connectivity, and drives economic growth," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

Ten regions received symbolic golden skating rinks for the best achievements in the road component of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project: Amur, Belgorod, Vologda, Lipetsk, Penza, Ryazan, and Saratov Oblasts, the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, the Republic of Adygea, and the Chechen Republic. The Deputy Prime Minister noted that this is the first skating rink for the Vologda Oblast, while this is the fourth award for the Belgorod Oblast, the third for the Republic of Adygea, and the fifth for the Chechen Republic.

Also, 12 regions received awards in individual nominations.

The Kaluga and Tula regions, as well as the Krasnoyarsk Territory, were awarded diplomas for their progress in implementing the national project's activities.

Teams from Sevastopol, the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra, and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug were awarded diplomas for their high-quality performance in implementing national project projects.

Commemorative diplomas for high levels of financial discipline within the framework of the national project were awarded to the Kostroma Region, the Republic of Ingushetia, and the Republic of Karelia.

The Bryansk and Tomsk regions and the Republic of Dagestan also received diplomas for their effective work in providing information support for the national project "Infrastructure for Life."

Marat Khusnullin also spoke at the forum's plenary discussion, "Transport Infrastructure: Balancing Public and Private Interests," which featured Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. The Deputy Prime Minister noted that, despite the challenges, the country's road sector is actively developing. The national project "Infrastructure for Life," launched this year, is also exceeding its targets.

"I would like to thank the President and the Prime Minister for their attention to the industry. Thanks to their support, we have budgetary funds for its development. They have also set up advanced financing. This will allow us not only to meet but also exceed our road construction plans this year, building 4,000 km more than last year," emphasized Marat Khusnullin.

He also drew the attention of the discussion participants to the need to continue efforts to shorten the investment and construction cycle, implement new technologies, increase labor productivity, and attract extra-budgetary investment to the industry.

Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko addressed an expanded meeting of the Federal Tax Service. He noted that the service has now transitioned from its role as a controller to one of the leading developers of government digital services that are transforming how the government interacts with citizens and businesses.

Since 2025, the "Life Situations" section of the government services portal has offered the option to file a tax return online to receive a personal income tax deduction (e.g., for medical treatment or education, the purchase of housing, land, or long-term savings). After filing, users can track the status of their return. Since the beginning of 2025, approximately 115,000 applications for this service have been submitted through the government services portal.

The "Start a Business Online" service also relies on the principle of receiving services in a "real-life" format. It combines the registration of a legal entity or individual entrepreneur, the issuance of an electronic signature, and the opening of a bank account. Since its launch, 25,000 users have already used the service.

One of the key projects of recent years has been the introduction of a single tax account. Since July 2023, all taxes, contributions, and advance payments have been combined into a single payment, eliminating the need for separate payment details—now there are two instead of 15. Citizens no longer need to track separate tax payment deadlines and details; a single payment balance is generated directly in the taxpayer's personal account. As a result of the implementation of the single tax account, the amount of unexplained receipts has been reduced by 28 times, and the number of debtors has been halved.

Furthermore, the Federal Tax Service's work on creating a unified population register has become an important foundation for the digitalization of government services. The system has integrated data from 11 agencies and currently contains over 148 million digital citizen profiles. It processes over a million agency requests daily, most of which are processed in less than two minutes.

Dmitry Grigorenko emphasized that the Federal Tax Service of Russia is also the largest provider of management data for the government system. More than 230 data sets are available for 730 government agencies through the departmental data platform, and over 90 open data sets are posted on the website. These data sets are actively used in developing government policy and implementing strategic initiatives.

"Over the past 35 years, the Federal Tax Service has undergone a significant digital transformation and has become an undisputed leader in innovation. Today, the Federal Tax Service of Russia is not just a controller, but a complex of modern, convenient, and customer-focused services. Moreover, the service's digitalization efforts are a recognized benchmark for quality and efficiency across the entire public administration system," noted Dmitry Grigorenko.

At the end of the meeting, the Deputy Prime Minister congratulated the Federal Tax Service's employees and veterans on their 35th anniversary and noted their contribution to the development of the digital economy and improving the quality of government services.
