The revival of the Kuzminki Estate, a popular strolling spot for Muscovites and tourists, as well as a vibrant venue for city festivals, continues. Read more about what has already been accomplished and what work is underway in our blog Sergei Sobyanin said.

"Almost all of the estate's buildings (there are about 40 of them) are architectural monuments. In 2024, we began large-scale restoration work that will restore Kuzminki to its former beauty," the Moscow Mayor wrote.

More than half of the buildings are undergoing restoration, including the east and west wings of the main house, the laundry building, and other structures.

The first results are already in sight. Several facilities have been renovated over the course of the year. These include the soap house (also known as the bathhouse), the forge, two grottoes, and the Arched Bridge with its historic lanterns and griffins.

In addition, the restoration of the Lion, or Round, pier on the shore of the Upper Kuzminsky Pond, one of the landmarks of the estate complex, was recently completed.

Built in 1811 on the site of an existing pier dating back to the 18th century and rebuilt in the 1830s, presumably to designs by Domenico Gilardi, the Lion Pier fell into disrepair over time. In the 1950s, it fell into ruin, and by the 2000s, it was almost completely lost. Only a few fragments remain, while most of the slabs and blocks were lost in the water and surrounding area.

During the restoration, specialists rebuilt the pier practically from scratch, preserving as much of the historic masonry as possible.

Specialists cleared the stone surface of paint and vegetation, restored the masonry using inserts, and cleared and reassembled the sandstone slabs of the platforms. They also recreated the missing slabs, restored the metal railing and cast-iron slabs of the observation deck, and replaced missing elements.

The cast-iron lion sculptures from the pier were carefully restored in workshops. First, years of paint buildup and traces of corrosion were removed. Then, cracks and defects in the metal were repaired. Particular attention was paid to restoring missing and deformed fragments. Now, the four cast-iron Egyptian lions have returned to their original locations after restoration.

Next year, restoration work on the western and eastern wings, Wing No. 6 (wooden), the laundry building, and the servants' wing is planned for completion. The restoration of the Kuzminki estate complex is expected to be fully completed in 2027.

Sobyanin: 32 architectural monuments will be restored in the Kuzminki estate within three years.Restoration of two grottoes at the Kuzminki estate has been completed, according to Sergei Sobyanin.

Specialists urban economy complex Three public gardens in the southeast of the capital have been renovated as part of a beautification program, according to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow. Petr Biryukov.

"This year, we completed improvement work on over 80 key sites, including parks, squares, boulevards, plazas, and public spaces located near major metro stations, shopping centers, medical facilities, schools, and kindergartens. As part of the program, we renovated three squares in the Lefortovo district, creating new, comfortable spaces for relaxation and exercise," noted Pyotr Biryukov.

The park's walkway surfaces were repaired, benches and swings were installed, and additional landscaping was added. For public safety, new lighting poles with energy-efficient fixtures were installed, and a video surveillance system was installed.

Specialists also renovated the Hospital Square next to the N.N. Burdenko Main Military Clinical Hospital. They installed architectural and artistic lighting on the monument to the heroes of the Patriotic War of 1812, replaced the granite steps at the entrance to the square and the pavement on the pedestrian walkways, and installed park swings.

Additionally, improvements were made to the park near the Aviamotornaya station on the Third Moscow Central Diameter. Pedestrian paths and lighting were updated, and a workout area with strength training equipment was created.

Work to create a comfortable urban environment is ongoing. Last year, for example, Lefortovo renovated the 65th Anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War Square and the Krasnokursantsky Square.

Medplant, a resident of the Technopolis Moscow special economic zone (SEZ), has developed a capnograph for monitoring carbon dioxide levels in the human body. The next-generation device is assembled entirely from domestically produced components and provides accurate monitoring of patients' breathing, according to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry. Maxim Liksutov.

"At Sergei Sobyanin's direction, the capital is creating unique conditions for the development of high-tech enterprises. Thanks to this, a company from the Technopolis Moscow SEZ has developed a device for diagnosing the respiratory system. The device measures the patient's respiratory rate and the carbon dioxide content in exhaled air. The device has already been added to the Russian Register of Measuring Instruments. This has allowed the company to begin preparations for its launch into mass production," said Maxim Liksutov.

The device differs from imported counterparts in its small size, light weight, and ease of transport. The portable device is equipped with modern sensors and uses highly efficient computing methods to obtain accurate readings. This completely eliminates the need for other methods of monitoring carbon dioxide levels in the human body.

During its operations in the capital's SEZ, the company has developed and launched into serial production over 45 medical devices for emergency care.

Earlier, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin and Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin opened Practical training center for mechanical engineering in the SEZ "Technopolis Moscow".
