The Abilympics National Championship kicks off in Moscow on October 30. Competitors from three age categories will participate: schoolchildren, students, and professionals. Participants with severe and/or multiple disabilities will also participate as part of the Festival of Opportunities. In 2025, the Abilympics National Championship will be held under the motto "No Limits – Act Boldly!"

"The Abilympics championship, held as part of the national project 'Youth and Children,' launched at the direction of the President, has been proving for over 10 years that professional development is accessible to everyone. The finals in Moscow will bring together both young and experienced professionals, who will demonstrate their skills in 50 competencies from 18 economic sectors. These include education, IT, industrial professions, and much more. Importantly, the national championship will also include competitions for representatives of our friendly countries and, for the first time, a finals competition for professional skills among participants of the North-Eastern Military District," emphasized Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The Timiryazev Center Educational and Exhibition Complex will serve as the main venue for the events, presenting 48 competencies. Competitions in two additional competencies will be held at additional Moscow venues: the Ovchinnikov Polytechnic College and the "Professions of the Future" practical training center. The championship will also feature competitions in 12 presentation competencies. Approximately 290 experts from 54 Russian regions will participate in the judging.

For the first time, the Abilympics National Championship will include the finals of the professional skills championship among participants of the Abilympics special military operation. The competition will be held in 15 competencies among 79 participants from 38 Russian regions who demonstrated the best results in the qualifying round of the professional skills championship among participants of the Abilympics special military operation in Kazan (Republic of Tatarstan) from July 25–29, 2025.

"The Russian Ministry of Education places particular importance on developing the Abilympics movement and supporting the national championship—one of the country's largest and most important social projects. The project unlocks the potential of thousands of people with disabilities, helping them realize their potential professionally and integrate into society. Crucially, Abilympics is a comprehensive ecosystem that encompasses various rehabilitation programs for people with disabilities. The championship becomes a true growth hub for each participant, opening up new professional horizons and helping them build successful career paths," commented Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov.

The championship will feature open competitions in eight key competencies with the participation of representatives from friendly countries, including those within the BRICS group.

In 2025, the Festival of Regional Competencies will be held for the first time – master classes reflecting the industry and ethnocultural characteristics of 13 Russian regions.

A Festival of Opportunities will be organized for people with severe and/or multiple developmental disabilities. It will include competitions in 19 competencies and will bring together participants from 13 regions.

A comprehensive career guidance program awaits championship guests: a career discovery festival for children aged 6 to 13, professional tryouts, a job fair, and consultation sessions from Abilympics partners and federal agencies, as well as programs for entrepreneurs and self-employed Abilympics and SVO participants.

The exhibition will showcase the latest domestic technical rehabilitation equipment and offer consultations from all-Russian public organizations for people with disabilities, the state fund for supporting participants of the "Defenders of the Fatherland" volunteer military unit, and booths from the ArtMasters project, the Russian "Knowledge" Society, the "National Priorities of Russia" NGO, the Russian Children's and Youth Movement "Movement of the First," and others.

The cultural program was prepared with the support of the Russian Ministry of Culture and the Moscow Department of Culture.

Participants will also enjoy various sporting events, including volleyball competitions, wheelchair dance competitions, adaptive tennis master classes, a chess tournament, and classes from specialists from the Moscow State University of Sport and Tourism.

In addition, the championship will also include the summing up of competition results in a number of competencies, including "Nail Service," "Performance Skills (Vocals)," "Welding Technologies," "Tailor," and others.

Winners of the national Abilympics championship receive social support for the purchase of specialized technical rehabilitation equipment and additional education using electronic certificates.

The government is systematically working to shorten the investment and construction cycle. Since 2019, the number of administrative procedures in the construction industry has been reduced threefold, from 96 to 32, and the number of required documents has been more than halved, from 1,168 to 567. This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"We have a truly ambitious yet achievable goal: to reduce construction time to 1,000 days by 2030, or just under three years. This work allows us to maintain a high construction pace and accelerate the commissioning of vital projects. Furthermore, reducing developer costs impacts the final cost of projects. Therefore, we continue to work on this in several areas. Among other things, it is important for regions to align their regulations with federal changes. We are already seeing significant reductions in construction time in some regions, such as Moscow, Sakhalin, Kurgan, and Novgorod Oblasts. Overall, since the beginning of 2019, we have been able to reduce the number of required approvals nationwide by three times – from 96 to 32 procedures. "Furthermore, the number of documents required for construction projects has been more than halved – from 1,168 to 567. This work is currently ongoing as part of the federal project "New Rhythm of Construction," which, as of 2025, has become part of the national project "Infrastructure for Life," noted Marat Khusnullin.

To monitor the rate of reduction of the administrative burden, the Ministry of Construction conducts quarterly monitoring of the duration of the investment and construction cycle in the regions, based on which a rating of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation is compiled.

According to the latest data, the best results were achieved in 58 regions, which received scores between 22 and 31 points. Moscow topped the ranking with 31 points, while the Sakhalin, Kurgan, and Novgorod regions also ranked among the top regions. The second group includes 25 regions with scores between 13 and 21 points, including the Kemerovo-Kuzbass, Kaliningrad, and Penza regions.

To ensure an objective assessment, construction durations are analyzed every six months. Based on lists of commissioned projects provided by regions, projects are randomly selected for a detailed assessment of the completion timelines for all procedures.

"As part of monitoring the duration of the investment and construction cycle in the regions, we assess the quality of the subject of the Russian Federation's implementation of this work, the regulatory potential for project implementation, the speed and quality of adaptation of regional legislation to changes at the federal level, the level of implementation of digital solutions, and the presence of redundant and outdated requirements for participants in the investment and construction cycle. In 2019, construction of projects from the beginning of design to obtaining permits for commissioning took an average of 2,181 days, which is five to six years. Now, the investment and construction cycle has been reduced to approximately 1,211 days, which is three years and three months," said Minister of Construction, Housing and Utilities Irek Fayzullin.

The stages and activities required for the implementation of a construction project are outlined in the Urban Development Code. The list is uniform for each category of facilities, regardless of their type and characteristics. This was facilitated by the launch of digital registries of documents and requirements on September 1, 2024, allowing for the prompt updating of documents, requirements, materials, information, and approvals required for the implementation of a construction project.

Since 2020, the Government Commission on Improving the Efficiency of Federal Property Use and Territorial Development, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin, has held 46 meetings, reviewing over 1,600 issues. This work is based on Federal Law No. 161-FZ, which establishes a transparent mechanism for the transfer of land through public auctions to replenish the state budget.

"Efficient land management is an essential factor in the sustainable development of cities and regions. Efforts to re-integrate inefficiently used federal land plots into economic circulation help create the conditions for implementing real projects: housing construction, social facilities, and industrial and infrastructure development. Such property begins to benefit people and businesses. We are systematically working in this area within the Government Commission for Improving the Efficiency of Federal Property Use and Territorial Development. Thanks to the decisions made, approximately 3,000 land plots covering 14,000 hectares have been re-integrated into economic circulation since 2020. Their urban development potential amounts to 34.5 million square meters of real estate," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister clarified that more than 1,700 plots of land have been transferred to DOM.RF for management. Their combined area is 10,800 hectares, with a development potential of over 25 million square meters. Another approximately 1,300 plots, over 3,200 hectares in area, have been transferred to the regions, with a development potential of approximately 9.5 million square meters.

Since 2020, the government commission has conducted approximately 1,400 tenders, awarding investors over 3,000 land plots with a total area of approximately 5,600 hectares. This creates potential for the construction of over 24 million square meters of real estate.

Particular attention is paid to integrated territorial development projects (ITD), which enable the renovation of residential areas in populated areas and the creation of a comfortable living environment with the necessary supporting infrastructure. Thus, following tenders since 2022, 771 land plots, totaling approximately 1,800 hectares with a potential development potential of over 10.4 million square meters, have been awarded under IDT projects.

Federal budget revenue from measures to put assets into circulation since 2020 has amounted to 114.2 billion rubles.
