The capital continues to strengthen its position as one of the main centers of automobile manufacturing in Russia. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry Maxim Liksutov.

"On the instructions of Sergei Sobyanin, the city provides comprehensive support to the automotive industry. For the dynamic development of the industry, the capital offers a set of effective support tools, thanks to which companies increase production capacity and expand their product range. Thus, from January to June 2025, the production of motor vehicles in Moscow increased by 60.7 percent compared to the same period last year," said Maxim Liksutov.

The overall growth in production of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers in the first half of 2025 was 5.2 percent compared to the same period in 2024.

"Today, there are about 30 manufacturers of cars, trailers and semi-trailers, electric vehicles and components, including engines and batteries, operating in Moscow. In particular, the capital is becoming one of the centers for the development of electric vehicle manufacturing in the country: more than 20 residents of the Technopolis Moscow special economic zone are already engaged in innovative projects in this area," noted the Minister of the Moscow Government, head of the capital's Department of Investment and Industrial Policy

Anatoly Garbuzov.

One of the capital's companies, Global Terranica, specializes in new-generation tracked all-terrain vehicles designed for use in difficult climatic and landscape conditions. The innovative development is the Terranica Expedition all-terrain vehicle, created in collaboration with the Moscow Polytechnic University and the Cardi body shop. The vehicle is equipped with a hybrid power plant, has a range of more than 1,000 kilometers and a spacious luggage compartment with a volume of 800 liters. The all-terrain vehicle with a transformable interior is currently undergoing pre-production testing, and the start of mass production is planned for 2026-2027.

For over a century, the Central Scientific Research Automobile and Automotive Engine Institute (NAMI) has been the core of engineering thought and development of transport equipment in Moscow. The full cycle of vehicle design is carried out here — from the idea and engineering calculations to certification and serial production. The enterprise produces cars, motorcycles, and key components. Thanks to its powerful laboratory base, the institute carries out digital and full-scale tests, creates design projects, and conducts scientific examinations.

One of the examples of NAMI's latest innovations is the Aurus Merlon electric motorcycle, named after the Kremlin wall's battlement. In 2024, the model won the national award for "Best Industrial Design" both according to experts and by popular vote.

In March 2022, a measure to support entrepreneurs was introduced in Moscow, within the framework of which investors can lease land plots at a preferential rate of only one ruble per year. Such a benefit is provided within the framework of the implementation of large-scale investment projects (MaIP). During this time, the city has concluded 17 lease agreements for plots of land for the construction of construction industry enterprises. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction Vladimir Efimov.

"Since 2022, the city has provided investors with land plots with a total area of about 92 hectares at a preferential rate of one ruble per year for the construction of enterprises that will specialize in the production of construction and finishing materials. The total area of the facilities will be approximately 700 thousand square meters. The volume of private investment will be about 32 billion rubles. The implementation of these MAIPs will contribute to the development of the urban development industry and provide it with modern domestic products," said Vladimir Efimov.

Large-scale investment projects have been implemented in the capital since 2016. They have become one of the key instruments for the development of the city's economy.

"On the instructions of Sergei Sobyanin, modern industrial complexes are being built in the capital, which ensure economic growth and create new jobs for residents. More than 5.5 thousand new jobs will be created at construction industry enterprises built as part of large-scale investment projects. The complexes will produce architectural concrete, ceramic products, aerated concrete blocks, prefabricated reinforced concrete structures and other products, which will significantly increase the volume of production of building materials and strengthen the industrial base of the city," said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry Maxim Liksutov.

Land plots were allocated in the northwest and southeast of the capital, as well as in Zelenograd and TiNAO. The preferential rental rate applies to the entire term of the contracts. Thus, the enterprises will quickly establish the production of products important for Moscow.

Ekaterina Solovieva, the Minister of the Moscow Government, the head of the Department of City Property, emphasized that in the Krasnopakhorsky District, as part of the implementation of large-scale investment projects, it is planned to create a cluster for the production of building materials. The city has already allocated more than 30 hectares of land for the implementation of two MAIPs. A plot of land with an area of over four hectares has been provided for the construction of an enterprise for the production of reinforced concrete structures for stairwells, openings, balconies, facades and load-bearing walls of buildings. On the territory of 26.54 hectares, it is planned to establish the production of building structures, modular structures, metal products and wooden flooring.

In the south-east of the capital, in the Vykhino-Zhulebino district, a plot of land of almost 0.32 hectares was provided to an investor for the construction of a production complex for the manufacture of doors, windows and other products made of wood and plastic. In the same district, the investor will build a production facility for tile modules made of wood. For this purpose, the city allocated 0.7 hectares of land to the investor at a preferential rental rate.

Land plots of 17 hectares have been provided to the investor in the Eastern communal zone of Zelenograd. The company will build a modern industrial complex with a total area of 80 thousand square meters. Several modern production facilities will appear there at once – enterprises for the production of doors, aerated concrete blocks and ready-made modules.

The city also provided 1.45 hectares of land in the Voronovo district for the construction of an enterprise for the development, testing and pilot production of building materials. Its area will be about 12 thousand square meters.

On the platform "Active Citizen for Children" opened survey, in which young residents of the capital will choose a name for an alpaca born at the VDNKh “City Farm” on August 3.

The baby was born in the morning. Her mother's name is Dosya, and her father's name is Berberis. The newborn slept almost all the time during the first day, but her mother woke her up to feed her. Now they have adapted to the new conditions and feel great. The cub is actively gaining weight, which is already more than 10 kilograms. The girl's character is different from her sisters Shokoladka and Chernichka. She is more like her father Berberis – just as thoughtful and dreamy.

The baby walks with her mother almost every day. More often in the morning, before opening, or in the first hour after the farm starts working, so that no one disturbs the little alpaca. It happens that she can show up during the day. However, you can see the baby at any time: she is in the enclosure – in the barn, which is located in the public domain.

The baby's color is black, but it may change a little as the alpaca grows up. For about six months, it will feed on milk, and later it will switch to an adult animal's diet (hay, vegetables, grass, special muesli).

Alpacas usually live in the Andes at an altitude of three and a half to five thousand meters, inhabiting the territories of Ecuador, the southern regions of Peru, northern Chile and western Bolivia. The history of alpaca domestication began about six thousand years ago, when ancient Peruvians first tamed these animals and began breeding them. Guests of VDNKh have the opportunity to see, photograph, pet and feed alpacas in Moscow.

Young Muscovites are offered a choice of six names for alpaca: Lada, Bardo, Nochka, Sumac, Inti and Korichka. Residents of the capital aged six to 14 can take part in the survey. To do this, you need a standard account on the mos.ru portal or authorization on platform "Moscow Electronic School".

For participating in the survey, children will be awarded children's points for the city's loyalty program "A Million Prizes", using which you can get gifts: a school backpack, board games, ice cream molds, certificates to stores and cafes and much more.

The City Farm family park of interactive farming and crafts opened at VDNKh in 2015 and celebrated its 10th anniversary this year. Each guest has the opportunity to stroll through the interactive zoo and attend master classes in equipped rooms and a picturesque greenhouse — classes are included in the price of the entrance ticket. The City Farm seasonal programs delight with their diversity: quests and teambuilding in the summer, New Year's performances in the winter. You can admire the new resident, as well as other inhabitants of the City Farm — rabbits, a donkey, raccoons, reindeer, zebu and goats — on weekdays from 10:30 to 20:00, and on weekends and holidays — from 10:30 to 21:00.

"Active Citizen for Children"— is an online platform created specifically for young Muscovites. On it, kids can make important decisions for the city by participating in surveys. They will also find quizzes, games, comics and videos that introduce Moscow, tell about its history, development and projects for children, as well as how residents help the capital become better.

The Active Citizen for Children platform is being developed by the State Institution New Management Technologies together withDepartment of Information Technology of the City of Moscow.

The creation, development and operation of the e-government infrastructure, including the provision of mass socially significant services, as well as other services in electronic form, correspond to the objectives of the national project "Data Economy and Digital Transformation of the State" and the Moscow regional project "Digital Public Administration".

A thermal complex is planned to be built at VDNKh. Its construction is one of the promising areas of development of the country's main exhibition. The year-round family spa complex, designed for visitors of different ages, will become a popular place among supporters of a healthy lifestyle.

It is planned to create a modern recreation and health zone in the metropolis in the coming years. The thermal complex will be located in the southern part of VDNKh, not far from the Khovansky entrance, next to a multi-level parking lot and a picturesque forest park area. Investors will be attracted to implement the idea of creating a thermal complex; businesses still have the opportunity to take part in this unique and promising project. It involves creating an oasis of tranquility within the city, where guests can relax and unwind in thermal pools and baths, recuperate thanks to massage treatments and a variety of spa services. To create the conditions of a thermal resort, it is planned to use natural resources from different parts of Russia – mineral waters, mud, salts, medicinal plants and essential oils.

The complex will be oriented towards all categories of visitors: safe play areas, mini water playgrounds will be arranged for children, and places for health procedures, fitness classes and recreation will be arranged for adults. This format will allow each family member to find something interesting and useful during a visit, as well as spend time together in a comfortable and safe environment.

The territory of VDNKh contains numerous architectural monuments, natural areas, museums, cafes and restaurants, and cultural and educational events are constantly held. The new thermal complex will become another place where you can spend your leisure time. It will complement the existing diverse infrastructure, making VDNKh an even more attractive venue for family recreation and an active lifestyle.

The creation of a comfortable environment at VDNKh, a garden city within a metropolis, is the most important part of the strategy for promoting the capital's hospitality industry and the VDNKh development strategy until 2030.

In Moscow, the restoration of the Palace of Culture of the Hammer and Sickle plant continues. The architectural monument of constructivism, a cultural heritage site of regional significance, is located on Volochaevskaya Street (house 48, buildings 1 and 2). It was built in the early 20th century according to the design of the architect Ignatius Milinis. Currently, the Palace of Culture consists of two buildings connected by a passage.

"The House of Culture of the Serp i Molot plant is a significant monument in the constructivist style by the famous architect Ignatius Milinis. Before the restoration, it was in a state of disrepair, so first of all, emergency response work was carried out, namely, the supporting structures of the building were strengthened, the dilapidated roof was replaced. In addition, the central staircase has already been repaired. Now specialists are restoring the courtyard facades, by now some of the windows have been installed," said the head of the capital's Department of Cultural Heritage.

Alexey Emelyanov.

Building 1 has largely retained its 1950s appearance. Now the facades and the passage from Volochaevskaya Street, which lead to the main staircase, are plastered, and specialists have partially installed windows.

Building 2 and the passage connecting the buildings have been repeatedly rebuilt during reconstructions and repairs since the 1970s, which is reflected in the facades. The character of the glazing and individual windows on the second and third floors have been preserved since the 1950s. The facade facing Andronyevsky Proezd has already been plastered and windows have been installed.

The project to restore the historical appearance of the monument was developed based on archival drawings and photographs. The restoration of the facades of the surviving buildings will be carried out based on the period of the 1950s. At the same time, the restoration of part of the flat roofs, the color schemes of the facades and the interiors will return to the appearance of the 1930s. In addition, the work includes the reconstruction of the sports building.

To ensure access for equipment to the Palace of Culture, an access road will be organized along the border of the architectural monument. This will be done in such a way as not to affect the necropolis of the Spaso-Andronikov Monastery. It will be possible to drive up along the road that existed here in the 1960-1980s. Archaeological research was previously conducted on this territory, and archaeological observations of the work will also be organized during the arrangement of the access road.

The work on the Palace of Culture is being supervised by specialists from the Moscow City Heritage Department: they are monitoring its compliance with the agreed project. After the restoration is completed, this place will become an art quarter and will attract the attention of residents and guests of the capital.

How the Palace of Culture of the Hammer and Sickle Plant was built and changed

An open competition for the design of the Palace of Culture of the "Serp i Molot" plant was held by order of the All-Union Union of Metalworkers in 1929. A site above the slope of a hill near the walls of the Spaso-Andronikov Monastery with an area of 10.95 thousand square meters was allocated for construction. Participants had to offer options for a three-story brick building with an auditorium for a thousand people, a library, a buffet and rooms for clubs and sports.

Compared to similar buildings built earlier, the requirements for the Palace of Culture project included certain conditions. Thus, a workers' rest room was needed, and the buffet had to serve both the auditorium and club sections without mixing the public in these sections. In addition, they were instructed to think through utility rooms at the buffet: a storeroom, a prep room, a washroom, a cellar, an icehouse, and rooms for storing linen and dishes. Their absence in the already built clubs of that time complicated daily work.

This building was conceived as a large public complex for the All-Union Union of Metalworkers. Architect Ignatiy Milinis took second place in the announced competition, but it was his project that was accepted for implementation due to the most successful use of the site. The master based his solution on dividing the entertainment, club and sports parts of the building into independent structures, united by passages at the level of the second floor.

Thus, the club complex with an open courtyard in front of the main entrance occupied most of the hill. From the side of Volochaevskaya Street, a wide staircase rose to the building – one of the expressive elements of the overall composition of the complex. It led to the entrance to the Palace of Culture, which stood out with a powerful canopy of a curved shape. The front courtyard was considered an open vestibule, and in the more closed space of the inner courtyard, limited by the concert, club and sports buildings, it was possible to arrange a summer stage. The original innovative solution of the courtyard space provided additional opportunities for various forms of club activity.

The building of the club of the "Serp i Molot" plant became one of the largest completed complexes of the constructivism era, in which the features of contemporary architecture of that time were most fully embodied. Already in the 1950s, the first reconstruction of the club was carried out, which brought elements of Soviet architecture of the period of development of classical heritage into the appearance of the building.

Since the 1980s, the Palace of Culture has hosted various events and concerts, and was one of the most popular rock venues in Moscow.
