State Veterinary Service of the capital Today, it comprises more than 20 veterinary clinics and veterinary stations, as well as a city veterinary laboratory that conducts over 135,000 different tests annually. There are also 24-hour inpatient facilities for seriously ill animals, a pet hotel, and a home veterinary care service. The State Inspectorate for Animal Welfare Supervision of the Moscow Veterinary Committee oversees the responsible care and humane treatment of animals in the capital.

"Our service faces important and responsible tasks—protecting the city from dangerous diseases common to humans and animals and ensuring food security. At the same time, we devote significant attention to developing veterinary care: we equip our clinics with modern, high-tech equipment and improve diagnostics and treatment. Veterinarians continually train and improve their skills to stay abreast of changes in the veterinary world. I can confidently say that our specialists are the pride and asset of Moscow's veterinary service!" said the Chairman of the Moscow Veterinary Committee.

Alexey Sautkin.

It all began on March 10, 1933. A decree was passed establishing the Moscow City Veterinary Department. Ten specialized clinics and a central veterinary and food laboratory were established in the capital. For 93 years now, the city's state veterinary service has been helping animals and their owners.

Today, one of the capital's key achievements is its well-established and effective communication with pet owners. Residents can contact the 24-hour contact center at 7 495 612-12-12. Operators handle up to 800 calls per day and can assist with a wide range of issues. For example, they can handle inquiries about widespread animal diseases, provide advice on obtaining veterinary documents, schedule appointments with specialists, and process requests for home visits from a veterinarian.

In early 2026, another modern and in-demand service was launched: televeterinary services. Pet owners can now resolve a number of issues without leaving home by simply booking a convenient time for an online consultation on the mos.ru portal. A pre-trial veterinary examination commission is already operational and assisting pet owners. It provides official, independent opinions to resolve disputes involving pets. These documents can be used for pre-trial dispute resolution, as well as in court.

Muscovites can register their pets at veterinary clinics themselves.mos.ru portalThey've expanded their service offerings and added the ability to schedule appointments with specialized specialists such as ratologists, ornithologists, and herpetologists.

Moscow Super Service My Pet Allows you to access all digital amenities at once. Moscow residents can view and update their pet's medical records. All appointment results and test results from public veterinary clinics are automatically uploaded. Additionally, a special "Life Situations" section provides answers to questions related to pet care, treatment, vaccinations, and what to do in case of pet bites. Residents can also quickly find veterinary clinics, free vaccination centers, and dog walking areas on the map.

The development of the digital environment of the mos.ru portal in the field of veterinary medicine is being jointly carried out by the capital's committees veterinary medicine, government services AndDepartment of Information Technology of the City of Moscow.

Scientists from Novosibirsk State University and Volgograd State Technical University have patented a new polymer material for the oil and gas industry.

Researchers from NSU and a team of scientists from Volgograd State Technical University (VolSTU), led by Doctor of Technical Sciences and Professor Viktor Kablov, have developed a water-swelling elastomer composition for the manufacture of sealing elements for packer equipment as part of the Competence Center's program "Technologies for Modeling and Developing New Functional Materials with Predetermined Properties" (CNFM) at Novosibirsk State University, which is being implemented with financial support from the NTI Foundation.

Packer equipment is a downhole device (seal) that, when installed, seals the annular space between the casing (or openhole wall) and the wellbore assembly, separating intervals—wellbore sections by depth—that are considered separate wellbore operating zones. This prevents interlayer crossflows, isolates individual inflow and injection zones, and ensures wellbore operation according to a specified pattern, withstanding pressure fluctuations and exposure to aggressive environments.

"Ordinary rubber doesn't swell in water, but we were faced with the challenge of creating packer rubbers that could be effectively used as a seal in oil and gas wells under high pressure. The presence of salt in the drilling fluid complicated the creation of such a material. Our development involves introducing swelling polymers into the material, which expand very well when exposed to liquid, but don't readily integrate with rubber. We needed to find modifying additives to overcome this incompatibility," explained Viktor Kablov.

The water-swelling elastomer composition is based on nitrile butadiene rubber and includes sulfur as a vulcanizing agent, Altax as a mercaptan vulcanization accelerator, and zinc oxide and stearin as vulcanization activators. Carbon black is used as a filler, along with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose as a water-swelling agent and a polymer modifying material that improves component compatibility.

"The key part of our development was selecting a durable base. The matrix was based on rubber, into which we introduced particles of water-swelling polymers capable of absorbing water or aqueous solutions. The particles expand in volume, increasing the volume and contact pressure of the sealing element, which is critical for sealing. To increase the speed and uniformity of penetration of the aqueous phase into the material, fibers are added to the composition, forming capillary channels for mass transfer," explained Viktor Kablov.

When selecting components and determining their proportions, the scientists used several neural networks. One of them, Deep Seek, generated an optimal prediction for the composition of the material with the specified properties and a number of useful recommendations for improving its properties. Next, they applied a program for modeling the behavior of composite materials, previously developed as part of the project "Computer-aided materials science of multicomponent nanostructured elastomeric materials with specified properties for extreme operating conditions."

"This program—a digital assistant for elastomer developers—is part of the Center of Excellence's program, 'Technologies for Modeling and Developing New Functional Materials with Predetermined Properties,' implemented at Novosibirsk State University and supported by the NTI Foundation. Together with the Center of Excellence, we have created a distributed research and technology center equipped not only with a wide range of testing equipment available at NSU, Volgograd State Technical University, and its branch, the Volga Polytechnic Institute, but also with technological equipment enabling the production of pilot batches of materials and products. To handle complex software, we have created a powerful computing cluster that enables the use of software products with artificial intelligence modules, including remote collaboration with our colleagues in other cities," explained Viktor Kablov.

The new polymer material has successfully passed laboratory testing in various operating environments simulating drilling fluids and on model seals. Our industrial partner, Intov-Elast LLC, one of the leading manufacturers of packer devices in Russia, has expressed interest in the development. Currently, rig testing of packer devices using the rubbers developed by the scientists is underway at the partner's and its customers' testing facilities.

On March 9, we celebrate the birthday of Yuri Gagarin, the first person in the world to fly into space.

Childhood and the Occupation

The future conqueror of space was born in 1934 to a simple working-class family. In 1941, the village of Klushino in the Smolensk region, where the Gagarin family lived, fell under German occupation. The Germans deported Yuri's older brother and sister, aged 17 and 15 respectively, to Germany, but they escaped en route and joined the Soviet troops. The village was liberated in 1943.

Excellent student

In 1951, Yuri graduated with honors from Lyubertsy Vocational School No. 10, specializing in molding and foundry work, and completed the seventh grade of an evening school for working youth. In 1955, he also completed his studies with honors at the Saratov Industrial Technical School and the basic training course at the local flying club, where he accumulated 43 flight hours over two years. Upon joining the army, Gagarin was sent to the 1st Chkalov Military Aviation School named after K. E. Voroshilov, from which he again graduated with honors, qualifying as a fighter pilot.

The path to space

From 1957 to 1959, Yuri Gagarin served in the 169th Fighter Aviation Regiment near Murmansk. When he learned of the call for volunteers for the upcoming space flight, he immediately submitted a request expressing his desire to try his hand at this unprecedented new endeavor. After several medical examinations, he was accepted into the group of cosmonaut candidates. Six brave souls were ready to embark on the maiden flight, and the decision on who would be the first to leave Earth's atmosphere was made just a few days before the launch.

Legendary flight

On April 12 at 9:07 AM, the Vostok spacecraft launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, and its pilot, Yuri Gagarin, said the world-famous "Let's go!" 108 minutes of flight: not much for a human, but a new step in the development of humanity.

Returning to Earth, the cosmonaut reported: “I completed the task, landed in the designated area, I feel good, there are no bruises or injuries.”

The cosmonaut's worldwide fame

Yuri Gagarin received a triumphant welcome in Moscow. Thousands gathered in Red Square to see their hero. Words of gratitude and admiration poured in from all sides. Gagarin became not just a cosmonaut but a national symbol, embodying the achievements of Soviet science and technology. His smile and simplicity captivated the hearts of millions, and he quickly became a national favorite.

However, the first cosmonaut's fame wasn't limited to his country's borders. Soon after his historic flight, he embarked on a grand tour of thirty countries, where he was greeted like a true star. In each country, Yuri Gagarin became the center of attention, and his visits caused a real sensation. People flocked to see the cosmonaut who had become the first in history to conquer the vast expanses of space. He was greeted with flowers, gifts, and applause, and some countries even held parades in his honor.

One of the most memorable encounters was a lunch with Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain. Yuri Gagarin was invited to Buckingham Palace, where he was awaited not only by the royal family but also by a multitude of admirers. According to witnesses, at the end of the event, Elizabeth II herself invited Yuri Gagarin to take a commemorative photo with him, breaking one of the most important rules of etiquette: the monarch being prohibited from being photographed with ordinary people.

This meeting symbolized not only Gagarin's international recognition, but also the importance of space exploration as a common cause for all humanity.

Final chapter

Returning to the country after a world tour, Yuri Gagarin returned to active work and training for a new flight that was not destined to come true.

In 1968, the cosmonaut with the sunny smile died during a training flight.

Yuri Gagarin didn't just change history and become the face of Soviet cosmonautics; he significantly influenced everyone's lives, demonstrating by his example that anything is possible if you pursue your goals and work on yourself, you can achieve the most incredible heights.
