The port of five seas, an outstanding example of Stalinist Empire style, a venue for concerts, film screenings, festivals, city holidays, training sessions, weddings. The Northern River Terminal is not just a transport hub, but a symbol of the renewed Moscow. On September 5, 2020, it opened after a large-scale reconstruction. In addition, the nearby embankment and park were improved. We tell you how the station has changed in five years.

The station is once again living the life that is embedded in its DNA

The Northern River Terminal was built together with the Moscow-Volga Canal (today the Moscow Canal). Immediately after its opening in 1937, it became a symbol of the slogan "Moscow – the port of five seas": river vessels departing from here could reach the Azov, Black, Caspian, Baltic and White Seas. In the 1990s, the port fell into disrepair: scheduled routes were cancelled, the building was occupied by offices and shops. Later, the station was closed due to its emergency condition.

The Northern River Terminal is a cultural heritage site of federal significance. The renovation of its building began in 2018, and in 2019, the improvement of the territory began.

The revival of the cultural heritage site of federal significance began in 2018. Specialists restored the facades of the building, reminiscent of a three-deck ship with a mast, one-and-a-half-meter porcelain medallions, sculptures and an antique clock, a spire with a star, a wide central staircase, interiors, panels, stained glass windows with state emblems, ceiling paintings, and tidied up the embankment and park. The port is worth visiting at least because it has become a monument to its era.

"This is a unique structure, a grandiose manifesto. The author of the project, Alexey Rukhlyadev, faced a difficult task: to create the quintessence of the new state and system in stone, to reflect their youth and aspiration. He searched for the right architectural language for a long time. The building harmoniously intertwined the future Stalinist Empire style (in 1937 it had not yet formed) and features of European trends: Art Deco, Neoclassicism, Venetian Gothic. The station is filled with works of art, which was new. Subsequently, this approach will be used in the capital's metro: stations will be decorated with bas-reliefs, sculptures, panels. The Moscow-Volga Canal was dug when the city was suffocating from dehydration, the river systems could no longer provide it with water. The culmination of the hydraulic structure was the Northern River Station. Arriving ships were greeted by porcelain medallions on the facades, which demonstrated the achievements and plans of the Land of Soviets – an icebreaker, a submarine, a flight over the North Pole, and the never-realized project of the Palace of Soviets. All this made the port a monument to its era," said Oksana Bondarenko, director

Museum of Moscow Transport.

You can get acquainted with the palace on the Khimki Reservoir on excursions of the Museum of Transport. They are held regularly, registration is open on the website. The guide will show architectural details and tell about legends associated with the station. For example, about what a "special purpose room" is. During the navigation season, excursion groups have a unique opportunity to climb onto the roof and see the legendary star with gems on the spire.

"Architect Alexey Rukhlyadev built not just a port, but one of the first public spaces in Moscow. Here you could play sports, send mail, dine in a restaurant, walk in the park. The Northern River Terminal and the Moscow-Volga Canal are the stars of cinema, scenes from cult films such as Volga-Volga and Po Semeynym Circumstances were filmed here. So the port was integrated into the cultural code of the city. Now it is once again living the life that is embedded in its DNA. This station is a symbol of the renewed Moscow, it unites history, transport, culture and sports," the mos.ru interlocutor emphasized.

During the improvement, the park was restored to its historical appearance and layout, supplemented with modern infrastructure. The concept was based on the project of engineer Timofey Shafransky. He was the author of the layout of the Northern River Terminal Park in 1936-1938. Some functional zones were reproduced according to his design, while others were created anew.

The surviving objects — the fence along Leningradskoe Shosse, the sculptures "Waterway" and "Sport", the arched pavilions of the piers and the control room — were restored. Two historical fountains were recreated on one of the longitudinal alleys, crowned with sculptural compositions in the form of a whooper swan. Both historical buildings adapted to modern needs and new structures made in the style of the 1930s-1950s were used to house the cafe and other objects.

River cruises and transport exhibitions

With the revival of the Northern River Terminal, the capital has reminded us of its status as a port of five seas. Cruise ships and pleasure boats depart from its pier. You can sail to Tver, Nizhny Novgorod, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Yaroslavl, Uglich and other cities of Russia. The port is equipped with modern passenger services. There is a comfortable waiting room and electric cars that take people with luggage to the ships. The flows of tourists and vacationers are distributed so that no one interferes with each other. A pop-up space of the Museum of Transport is open at the station.

"Twice a year we open a new exhibition on a topic related to transport: architecture, professions, history of the Northern Port. For example, one of them was dedicated to the history of the Moscow Children's River Shipping Company and the dreams of young captains about a great voyage. We showed an exhibition about the Moskvich car, timed to coincide with the biopic exhibition "The Dream of a Moskvich". Today, at the station, you can see the exhibition "Iron Ladies", timed to coincide with the 90th anniversary of the first line of the capital's metro. It introduces the equipment with which the construction of the metro begins – tunnel boring machines. Since ancient times, such machines have had female names, since the patroness of all miners was Saint Barbara," explained Oksana Bondarenko.

Light shows, ceremonial raising of the spire and weddings

The Northern River Terminal celebrates the main holidays of the country and its capital: Russia Day, City Day, Victory Day, Moscow Transport Day. City festivals and film screenings are held here. In the warm season, the project site is located here "Music in the Metro": instrumental and vocal compositions are performed in the open air.

"One of the most memorable events was the "Park of Light" festival, which took place in July this year. The park, the embankment and the building's facade turned into a single light installation, and a theatrical performance took place in the canal's water area. Another bright spectacle was the opening of navigation. A parade of ships passes through the port along the Khimki Reservoir. A 27-meter spire is ceremoniously raised. By the way, in the last century it was raised three times: in honor of the opening of the canal, the victory in the Great Patriotic War and the 850th anniversary of Moscow in 1997. Now the mechanism is debugged, and the spire symbolizes the beginning and end of navigation, as it was originally intended," said Artem Mikhailov, head of the Northern River Terminal.

This year, Artem Mikhailov celebrated his wedding at the Northern River Station. The station joined the project "New Addresses of Happiness" in 2021. The employees of the capital's registry offices conduct the ceremonies after closing, from 20:00 to 00:00. Weddings here take place in the warm season – from May to September. After the wedding, the spouses have the opportunity to go up to the roof and have a photo shoot alone, without visitors. The port has become one of the favorite venues for newlyweds.

Dancing in the Park and Yoga on the Roof

Alleys, sculptures and fountains in the park, an embankment with a beach area and swimming pools, a model of the Moscow Canal, playgrounds and an amphitheater, a river cuisine restaurant with an interior in the Stalinist Empire style… The Northern River Terminal is a fashionable place to spend leisure time. There are open areas for playing streetball, table tennis and chess, workout zones, there are lanes for runners and cyclists. In addition, races and competitions are organized on the territory of the river terminal. In winter, there are two skating rinks with artificial and natural ice, a ski trail. The port has also joined the project "Sports Weekend". Anyone can train for free under the guidance of professional trainers.

"In the warm season, the park hosts functional (pumping up all muscle groups) and dance training. It's nice to keep fit in the fresh air, among fountains and greenery, like at a resort. And on the roof, you can do yoga and stretching. There is a picturesque view of the reservoir, which immediately lifts your spirits and motivates. These classes are always sold out. With the onset of cold weather, we move to the basement of the building, where there is an atmospheric space with sculptures. I conduct functional training and stretching classes. My groups include people of different levels of fitness and ages. Some come here from other parts of the city. After all, no gym can compare with the Severny Port," shared Vladimir Makhaev, trainer of the Sports Weekend project.

Voting on elections of regional heads, which the capital will organize for voters from other subjects of the Russian Federation from September 12 to 14, will be reliably protected. Residents of the regions who submitted applications for federal government services portalapplication for voting in Moscow, will be able to make a choice using special terminals at any of the 14 extraterritorial polling stations in the city.

All devices will be connected to the electronic voting system, which uses modern encryption and data storage technologies. They will ensure the safety, immutability and anonymity of every vote taken in Moscow.

When conducting electronic voting, the main technology is blockchain. It is responsible for the decentralized storage of digital information in the form of a chain of blocks. Blocks are collected from transactions – service information about user actions on terminals, as well as the votes themselves, and are sequentially connected by unique digital fingerprints. Thanks to this, it is impossible to put unnecessary data and votes in the blockchain. In addition, the chain of blocks is stored on several computers in the network at once, so it is also impossible to delete any recorded information from it.

An electronic list of voters will be used in the regional elections in the capital, formed on the basis of data from the State Automated System of the Russian Federation "Elections". It will include data from those who submitted an application to vote in Moscow up to and including September 8 and did not withdraw the approved application. On election days, marks will appear here in real time that the voter has received a ballot – this will eliminate double voting. In order to put such a mark, the system will find a person in the list by his passport data, which is recognized after scanning the document on the terminal. Such automation guarantees that no one will be able to vote instead of a namesake or a person from the next line of the list.

Electronic voting also uses a special service — an anonymizer. It completely depersonalizes the user's actions and the vote itself, eliminating the possibility of identifying its owner. The voter enters the anonymous zone when he or she gains access to the digital ballot on the terminal. The ballot itself does not contain personal or service data and is not saved anywhere after pressing the "Vote" button.

The secrecy of the vote is guaranteed by a multi-level encryption system. Before the elections, encryption and decryption keys will be created. With the help of the first, each vote will be coded at the moment when the voter finishes voting on the terminal. Thanks to this, no one will be able to find out for whom they were cast until the end of the vote reception. The decryption key will be stored in parts by different people until the election results are summed up. It will be combined and applied to the votes in the blockchain only after the end of the voting.

14 extraterritorial polling stations will open in different areas of the capital in the My Documents public service centers, the metro and other city sites. They will operate on September 12, 13 and 14 from 08:00 to 20:00. All voting addresses can be found on special page mos.ru.

Adult voters from the Arkhangelsk, Bryansk, Irkutsk, Kaluga, Kostroma, Kursk, Leningrad, Novgorod, Orenburg, Rostov, Sverdlovsk and Tambov regions, the Jewish Autonomous Region, Kamchatka, Krasnodar and Perm Krai, the Komi Republic, the Chuvash Republic and Sevastopol will be able to vote at polling stations in the capital. To do this, they must have an approved application to vote in Moscow – it must be submitted to on the "Gosuslugi" portalaccording to the memo no later than September 8.

On the instructions of Sergei Sobyanin, the city is paying special attention to the quality of residential properties under the renovation program.

As Anton Slobodchikov noted, after receiving notification from the developer about the start of construction and installation works, inspectors of Mosgosstroynadzor will draw up a schedule of inspections of the residential building, which will take place at all stages of construction. Specialists from the subordinate Center of Expertise will be involved in the supervision activities to carry out a set of laboratory and instrumental studies of the quality of works and materials used.

The renovation program was approved in August 2017. It concerns about a million Muscovites and provides for the resettlement of 5,176 houses. Earlier, Sergei Sobyanin ordered to increase the pace of implementation of the renovation program in twice.

Moscow is one of the leaders among regions in terms of construction volumes.

For the construction of a new industrial complex in Nekrasovka, the city provided the investor with a land plot at a preferential rate of one ruble per year as part of the implementation of a large-scale investment project. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction Vladimir Efimov.

"Since 2024, investors can obtain land for the construction of production facilities in the capital at a rate of one ruble per year by taking part in specialized tenders for the right to implement large-scale investment projects. Thus, following the results of an open auction, a company was determined to which the city leased 0.67 hectares of land in the Nekrasovka district at a rate of one ruble per year. The contract was concluded for five years – this is the period during which the construction of the facility must be completed," said Vladimir Efimov.

The land plot is located near Transportnaya Street at the intersection of Projected Drives No. 83 and 4296.

"On the instructions of Sergei Sobyanin and in connection with the high need to create industrial infrastructure, the city is holding tenders for the right to implement large-scale investment projects in various areas of the capital. Thus, a modern enterprise with an area of more than 5.3 thousand square meters will appear in Nekrasovka, where they will locate factories for the production of automobile, construction and other industrial products," noted the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry

Maxim Liksutov.

The investor will be able to determine the purpose of the production himself, based on the approved types of permitted use of the site.

According to Ekaterina Solovieva, Minister of the Moscow Government and head of the capital's Department of City Property, this is already the second land lease agreement in 2025, concluded as a result of a tender for the right to implement a large-scale investment project in the industrial sector. Previously, another company was allocated 0.86 hectares in Novokosino near Saltykovskaya Street and Nikolsko-Arkhangelsky Proezd. Here, the developer will be able to place an industrial park with an area of 14 thousand square meters.

The capital regularly holds auctions for the right to implement large-scale investment projects. This mechanism allows for a wider range of potential investors and shorter project implementation periods: the winner of the auction receives a pre-prepared land plot from the city.

Earlier, Sergei Sobyanin announced October 2025 month of Moscow industry.

Information about land plots put up for auction is published on investment portal capital. You can learn more about the objects being sold by the city, study the lot documentation and the rules for conducting auctions in the section "Moscow Trades"The organizer is the capital Department of Competition Policy.

A large-scale investment project is a special status that can be obtained, for example, by production complexes, innovation centers, social institutions, transport, sports and other facilities. The implementation of such projects allows for the development of modern infrastructure in Moscow and the creation of jobs.
