The International Arts Festival “Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk” is a large-scale cultural project that promotes humanitarian cooperation.

The opening ceremony of the XXXIV International Festival of Arts "Slavianski Bazaar" took place in Vitebsk. It is a large-scale cultural project that promotes humanitarian cooperation, as well as the revival and development of artistic culture and art.

At the opening ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk read out the welcoming words of Russian President Vladimir Putin to the festival participants and guests: “Dear friends! I cordially welcome you on the occasion of the opening of the next, XXXIV International Arts Festival “Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk”.

The festival, held in the ancient and beautiful Belarusian city, makes a significant contribution to strengthening spiritual ties between the fraternal Slavic peoples, to the development of mutually beneficial humanitarian cooperation. Its motto – "Through art to peace and mutual understanding" – sounds especially relevant in the current difficult international conditions.

This year the program of the "Slavianski Bazaar" is very rich and diverse. Several festival venues will host performances by famous singers and artists, musical, folklore and pop groups, numerous theatrical productions, exhibitions and presentations. Much attention is paid to the children's audience: various creative competitions for young performers are planned.

A special place in the program is occupied by events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War – the most important event in our common history. I am sure that the great power of art will help preserve the grateful memory of the glorious deeds of our fathers and grandfathers who fought shoulder to shoulder against the fascist invaders, and pass on to the younger generations the good traditions of fraternal friendship and mutual assistance bequeathed by them.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who took part in organizing the festival, wish its participants inspiration and success, and the guests – bright, unforgettable impressions.”

The International Festival of Arts "Slavianski Bazaar" has been held since 1992. This year, artists from more than 40 countries are taking part in it; the festival events are taking place in Vitebsk from July 8 to 14.

Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova spoke at a joint meeting of the State Duma committees in preparation for holding a government hour on the topic "On priorities in implementing the demographic policy of the Russian Federation." The meeting was also attended by Minister of Labor and Social Protection Anton Kotyakov, Minister of Finance Anton Siluanov, Minister of Culture Olga Lyubimova, representatives of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Utilities.

"Our absolute priority is to preserve the population. This is the main national goal, designated by the President of the country. And this is a national goal for many years. Because within this goal, the birth rate is, of course, the most difficult issue. And the birth rate is not a momentary decision. It is a person's motivation to start a family. And this is our hard and painstaking work. And I will start with the basics of state policy to support traditional spiritual and moral values. This is, in fact, the key issue. Fostering in society an attitude towards family, towards a child, towards parents, towards grandparents. Towards a multi-generational, dynastic family. And pride in the fact that this family exists," said Tatyana Golikova.

The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that today, on average, a woman gives birth to her first child at the age of 26, and the average age of a woman at the birth of a child is 29.

"As our President says, the entire infrastructure should be built around the family. And this means that all our priorities, our national projects should work towards this idea," noted Tatyana Golikova. "What we are seeing today is a great commitment to urbanization. And this commitment to urbanization leads to the fact that individual settlements are left without people. We must create the appropriate infrastructure around. This settlement must live, so that it is interesting to live in it."

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, 80.4% of births today occur in cities. At the same time, by the end of 2024, the total fertility rate in Russia as a whole was 1.4, and in the village – 1.6.

In addition, on the eve of the government hour, Tatyana Golikova met with all factions of the State Duma – United Russia, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, A Just Russia and New People. The meetings were also attended by the Minister of Labor and Social Protection Anton Kotyakov, the Minister of Health Mikhail Murashko, the Minister of Finance Anton Siluanov, representatives of the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities and the Ministry of Culture.

"Bridges, overpasses, and flyovers allow you to overcome difficult sections, reduce travel time, and reduce the load on alternative routes. They ensure uninterrupted traffic flow, connect territories, and improve road safety. The construction and timely repair of artificial structures are important for the sustainability and efficiency of the country's road framework. Thanks to the national project "Infrastructure for Life", in 2025, more than 500 bridges and overpasses with a length of 42.2 thousand linear meters will be built, reconstructed, repaired, including major repairs," said Marat Khusnullin.

The highway is part of the regional backbone network of highways, and also connects the administrative center of the Penza Region with the district center of the Luninsky District and further with the Republic of Mordovia.

Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Alexander Novak met with the leaders of the parties: Igor Dodon – Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova, Irina Vlah – “Heart of Moldova” and Vasile Tarlev – “Future of Moldova”. The parties discussed economic and energy cooperation between the two countries.

Alexander Novak noted Russia's desire to build good-neighborly relations, friendship and cooperation with Moldova, where more than 220 thousand Russian citizens live. At the same time, the Moldovan diaspora in the Russian Federation, according to various estimates, is from 300 thousand to 500 thousand people.

"Russia is committed to maintaining and developing centuries-old ties with the Republic of Moldova, continuing the dialogue with all constructively minded political forces of the republic that advocate strengthening Moldovan statehood, sovereignty, maintaining its neutral status and strengthening friendly relations with our country," said Alexander Novak at a meeting with representatives of the Socialist, Heart of Moldova and Future of Moldova parties.

In recent years, due to the policies of the current Moldovan authorities, economic relations between Russia and Moldova have significantly deteriorated. After Moldova signed the Association Agreement with the European Union in 2014, trade turnover between the two countries fell sharply. In 2015, trade turnover between Russia and Moldova had already fallen by 32%, and Russia's share in Moldova's exports had fallen from 70% to just over 3% in 15 years.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that Russia is always glad to see representatives of Moldova at various venues, be it congresses or exhibition events.

“We value and encourage the development of interregional ties between our countries, contacts between political parties, public associations and interdepartmental cooperation,” he concluded.

Alexander Novak also noted that the energy sector has always been an important component of cooperation between Moscow and Chisinau.

"Russia has always supplied gas to Moldova at a much more favorable price compared to the supplies that went to Europe. It is unclear why the Moldovan authorities are not satisfied with them," the Deputy Prime Minister added.

"The Moldovan authorities have refused direct contracts with Russian partners. Moreover, they have created practically unacceptable conditions for Moldovagaz to operate. We are sure that we need to return to direct dialogue, to direct supplies," said Igor Dodon, leader of the Socialist Party.

He noted that in 2020, Moldova bought gas from Russia for $148 per thousand cubic meters. According to the politician, this was the lowest price in the last 10-15 years.

"Of course, these were very favorable tariffs for the end consumer, for our economy and the competitiveness of our goods. With the arrival of the current government, we purchased Russian gas at $842. Tariffs also increased sevenfold," added Igor Dodon.

Alexander Novak emphasized that Russia is ready to return to friendly cooperation in the energy sector if the Moldovan side has such a desire.

Priority services "life situations" were approved at a meeting of the subcommittee on improving the quality of public services under the leadership of Deputy Prime Minister – Head of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko. They will become available on the public services portal within a year.

In total, 35 new "life situations" will appear in 2025 for both citizens and businesses. These are services for solving such issues as planning and having a child, formalizing guardianship and trusteeship, organizing children's leisure and separately – organizing children's recreation, caring for pets, entering college and technical school, the desire to become a volunteer, applying for a tax deduction, launching an IT company, undergoing a medical examination, supporting Russian citizens abroad and such difficult situations as the loss of a loved one, disability.

The list of “life situations” was formed on the basis of feedback from citizens, the results of the analysis of the quality of services provided, as well as research conducted in user testing laboratories.

With the help of the "life situations" services for citizens and businesses, the time it takes to receive government services, the number of visits to departments and documents that need to be provided are reduced. The concept is based on the unification of services to solve a specific issue of a person, when he does not have to receive all the services separately and look for where to go, and all the necessary services and reference information are collected in one place, on a special page of this "life situation" on the government services portal.

"The "life situations" services are a new stage in the evolution of public services. Once upon a time, people stood in lines at various departments, then it became possible to receive public services online. At the next stage, the state offered citizens to apply for services through a "single window" – at the MFC with paper applications and to "Gosuslugi" via the Internet. Now there are more than 1.6 thousand such services and services on the portal. To make it easier to navigate them, we are combining them according to the "life situations" principle – citizens solve their problems comprehensively, quickly and in one place," said Dmitry Grigorenko.

At the federal level, the “life situations” services are being implemented since 2023. Currently, 35 of them have been implemented. With the federal “life situations” services planned for launch, there will be 70 of them by the end of 2025.

Thanks to federal services, “life situations” on average:

The time to receive government services has been reduced by 35% (from 102 to 66 days); the number of required documents has been reduced by 29% (from 28 to 20 units); the need to visit departments has been reduced by 64% (from 14 to 5 visits).

At the same time, some "life situations" are available entirely online. Since 2024, regional "life situations" services have also been implemented. More than 150 of them have been launched so far. Work on implementing "life situations" services is being carried out within the framework of the federal project "State for People".
