Dmitry Patrushev spoke at an extended meeting of the Board of the Federal Water Resources Agency

"Russia has developed a competent water use system. Saving technologies are being introduced, strict control and accounting of resources is being carried out. Hydraulic structures are being built and modernized. In recent years, five large facilities have been commissioned, which has made it possible to provide water to more than 2.5 million people. By 2030, another 90 different projects are expected to be implemented, for which the Government plans to allocate about 65 billion rubles," said Dmitry Patrushev.

The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that work on some projects has already begun: the Krasnogorsk hydroelectric complex in the Omsk region and the Yelizavetinskoye reservoir in the Lugansk People's Republic are under construction. The construction of reservoirs in the Kursk region and the Republic of Dagestan is planned, and work on flooding the Volga-Akhtuba floodplain will continue.

Dmitry Patrushev spoke about the results of the implementation of the national project "Ecology". Work along the line of Rosvodresursy has improved the living conditions of more than 20 million people, almost 1 thousand km of rivers have been cleared, and over 28 thousand water bodies have been restored. When implementing a number of activities, the work was synchronized with the improvement of adjacent territories. Similar examples exist in the Altai Republic, Rostov and Nizhny Novgorod regions. This practice will be continued.

"This is a contribution to the ecological well-being of the territories, as well as an additional incentive for the development of domestic tourism. The new national project "Ecological Well-being" has allocated about 24 billion rubles for this area," said Dmitry Patrushev.

The Deputy Prime Minister particularly emphasized the need for efficient use of water resources and set the task of increasing the economic sustainability of the water management complex, including by reducing the water intensity of economic sectors. The development of digitalization also plays a role here.

Today, the Water Data platform is in operation, which allows monitoring the hydrological situation and gives citizens access to government services in the field of water use. Today, almost 80% of requests are processed through it. The Deputy Prime Minister explained that the platform should become a key tool for environmentally responsible water use.

In addition, the board discussed the preparation of the water strategy. Dmitry Patrushev noted that when preparing it, it is necessary to pay special attention to the current socio-economic forecast, the results of scientific research, and include measures to improve the regulatory framework, modernize infrastructure, and develop human resources. According to the Deputy Prime Minister, achieving the main goals of the industry depends on the availability of highly qualified specialists, engineers, and managers.

Dmitry Patrushev emphasized that the strategy should become the foundation for developing state policy in the area of use and protection of water bodies, as well as for high-quality interaction between industry participants.

Dmitry Grigorenko: The Government Center for the Development of Artificial Intelligence has begun work

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Government of the Russian Federation – Government of the Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The first session of the Artificial Intelligence Development Center (AIDC) under the Government of the Russian Federation with representatives of business and regions was held. The goal was to launch a dialogue between the state and the industry, to establish interaction for the accelerated implementation of AI in public administration and the economy. The participants of the session agreed that a centralized approach is needed to solve this problem. It will not only speed up the process, but also reduce costs, minimize risks and increase the efficiency of AI implementation.

The center is supervised by Deputy Prime Minister – Head of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko. The resolution on the creation of the CRII was signed in June, the team has been formed and is actively working.

"The AI Development Center under the Government is our main assembly point on the topic of implementation. The Center not only records opinions, feedback and wishes from regions and businesses. Its functions, for example, include market analysis and selection of effective solutions for replication. The Center has already selected about 10 of them. Some of them will be launched at the federal level in the form of standard services to which regions and departments will be able to connect. Such a centralized approach will optimize costs for development and implementation," said the supervising Deputy Prime Minister.

Typical services include geospatial analytics, solutions for working with draft documents for government employees, rapid processing of citizen requests, and others.

The session discussed another tool that will help speed up the implementation of AI in Russia – a digital platform for collecting and sharing best practices. The federal platform will be a development of the current portal "Digital Region" of the Moscow Region. It has already collected a catalog of AI solutions implemented in various regions of Russia. Some of these solutions are unique, while others have similar functionality. The center will moderate the platform and analyze existing practices. Regions will be able to select developments that suit their goals and objectives and take them into their own network by agreement.

During the session, the regions shared their practices of implementing artificial intelligence. For example, in the Republic of Tatarstan, monitoring of the implementation of national projects has been implemented using AI, and a neural network for government bodies is also in operation. In the Sakhalin Region, artificial intelligence is being systematically implemented in every area of public administration – from medicine and education to tourism development and environmental monitoring. In the Nizhny Novgorod Region, AI solutions are also being actively implemented in key areas, but the experience of using video analytics systems, which are used to monitor public transport, law and order and security, housing and utilities, is separately noted. In Moscow, healthcare solutions are being successfully implemented, which are available not only to Muscovites, but also to residents of other regions of Russia.

"We are creating a competence center where regions, business and the state will be able to speak the same language. Our task is not just to listen and analyze, but to offer specific and effective solutions aimed at replicating AI solutions, supporting the industry and ensuring the country's leadership in the development of artificial intelligence technologies," said Ildar Akhmetov, head of the CRII.

The session participants drew the center's attention to existing problematic issues, such as data storage and processing, and the high demand for data centers. It is planned to launch a feedback service from businesses, developers, and interested parties on Gosuslugi. The center will process the requests received and develop proposals to eliminate the problematic field that hinders the development and implementation of artificial intelligence in various areas at both the federal and regional levels.

Vitaly Savelyev visited the site of the project-educational intensive course "Archipelago-2025"

Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev visited the site of the project-educational intensive course "Archipelago-2025", which is being held as part of the international forum "Unmanned Systems: Technologies of the Future", organized on behalf of Russian President Vladimir Putin. This is the largest event in Russia for developers, manufacturers and operators of unmanned and robotic systems. This year the event is being held on the territory of the Skolkovo Innovation Center.

The Deputy Prime Minister visited the exhibition of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and held a meeting on the development of the UAS industry. It was attended by Transport Minister Andrei Nikitin, representatives of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Education and Science, the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Transport, the Federal Air Transport Agency, constituent entities of the Russian Federation, as well as manufacturers and operators of unmanned aircraft systems.

Vitaly Savelyev noted the importance of such events, which allow key representatives of the high-tech industry to gather on one platform to discuss current issues and develop joint solutions. Participants discussed successful regional practices of using unmanned aircraft systems in various sectors of the economy (agriculture, delivery, monitoring activities).

The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that it is necessary to scale up successful examples in other regions, and also discussed in detail the issues of regulating the industry.

"In terms of the formation of the regulatory framework for the use of unmanned aircraft systems, Russia is among the leading countries in the industry, ahead of the United States and China in a number of decisions, which are also on the path of allocating a separate airspace to simplify UAS flights. Let me remind you that last week, the Russian Government decree established airspace class H. This decision simplifies the integration of UAS into the airspace in all regions of the Russian Federation and their operation in the context of growing demand for use in various industries. The Russian Ministry of Transport and the Federal Air Transport Agency have done a lot of work – the draft resolution has been agreed upon with all law enforcement agencies and federal executive bodies. "H" has become the fourth class in Russian airspace – until now it included classes A, C and G," said Vitaly Savelyev.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

For some, summer means relaxing on the beach or mountain hikes, walking in parks or traveling around Russian and foreign cities. But for athletes, it is also a time of constant training and competitions. In honor of Physical Culture Day (it will be celebrated on August 9), we talked to RUDN students who took part in the Summer Student Track and Field Championships in Smolensk and returned from there with third place in the team and personal victories.

The competitions were held in July at the Smolensk State University of Sports. 362 athletes from 46 universities in 21 regions of Russia competed. The disciplines included walking, running, hurdles and barriers, long jump, high jump and pole vault, triple jumps, relay races, javelin, hammer and discus throwing, and shot put.

The composition of the RUDN University track and field team:

1. Polina Khomyakova (400, 800 m run, 4 x 400 m relay).

2. Anastasia Matveeva (long jump, triple jump, 4x100m relay).

3. Timofey Shilov (long jump, triple jump).

4. Elizaveta Ipatova (100, 200 m run).

5. Victoria Isakova (200, 400 m run, 4 x 400 m relay).

6. Jesse Otaigbe (100m, 200m, 4x100m relay).

7. Donaldson Onoigboria (100m, 200m, 4x100m relay).

8. Viktor Shebalin (400 m run, 4 x 400 m relay, 4 x 100 m relay).

9. Nikita Gubarev (400 m run, 4 x 400 m relay).

10. Veronika Divakova (100m, 200m, 4x100m relay).

11. Denis Abitabile (javelin throw).

12. Ruslan Zalyaev (shot put, discus throw).

13. Lada Pelevina (high jump, 4x100m relay).

14. Daria Semyonova (100, 200 m run, 4 x 100 m relay).

15. Tengei Senyo (100m, 200m, 4x100m relay).

16. Kirill Kovalev (200 m run).

Ahead – 16 meters

"I liked how the event was organized, especially the stand where you could leave your autograph. I was also pleased that there was a broadcast of the competition. However, I was a little disappointed that the relay race was scheduled in parallel with the jumps, and my plans to participate in it did not come true," says Timofey Shilov, a bachelor of the RUDN University Agrarian and Technological Institute (Standardization and Metrology major, 3rd year).

Timofey has been involved in track and field since he was 13, starting with short-distance running, but then, together with his coach, he discovered his talent for the triple jump. After which the young man began to specialize in this discipline. At the competition, the student won silver in the triple jump with a result of 15.51 m and bronze in the long jump with a result of 7.18 m.

"I am not entirely happy with how I performed at the championship. If I had been more focused from the first attempts, I would have shown myself better. In general, I strive to overcome the 16 m mark in the triple jump, so I focus more on achieving a personal result than on winning the competition," – Timofey Shilov, Bachelor of Science at the RUDN University Agrarian and Technological Institute (Standardization and Metrology, 3rd year).

In love with running

Polina Khomyakova ran for gold at the summer championship. The student covered 400 m in 54.77 seconds. She has been involved in track and field since elementary school and has been involved in the sport for about 13 years.

"My physical education teacher noticed me and invited me to join her track and field section. I fell in love with running from the very beginning of my career; just long jumping or throwing a javelin was boring. I loved competing for first place in a race, which I was good at! My greatest achievement was third place in the Russian Championship in the 4x400m relay," says Polina Khomyakova, a bachelor's student in the RUDN University Faculty of Philology (Psychology major, 3rd year).

According to Polina, the RUDN team coach Olesya Vladimirovna Pogorelova helped her prepare for the competition perfectly. The girl is happy with her result in Smolensk, but she certainly has new goals for the future. She dreams of winning a personal medal in the 400 m race at the Russian Championship, because these are the largest track and field competitions in our country.

In mother's footsteps

Another gold medalist of the Summer Student Championship from RUDN is Anastasia Matveeva. She began to seriously engage in athletics after entering our university in 2020, although she has been in sports since childhood. The girl's first major victory was third place in jumping at the Russian Championship under 20 in 2021 in Ufa, and a year later she won bronze at the Russian Championship.

"I followed in my mother's footsteps in triple jumps. She also did this discipline and was quite successful. But I also run relays. Because it is a team effort, I am even more nervous before relays than before my own event, but I really like running. At the competition in Smolensk, I performed even better than I expected. I jumped 13.24 m, but I always want to be even better. My main goal for the future is to improve my results and meet the standards for a master of sports," – Anastasia Matveeva, Master of Philology at RUDN (Psychology major, 1st year).
