Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov presented domestic tourism figures for the first 11 months of this year, based on Rosstat data.

"Over the 11 months from January to November of this year, the number of tourist trips across the country reached 82.9 million. This is 5% more than in the same period last year. The most popular destinations during this period were Siberia, the south, and northwest of our country. The tools of the national project 'Tourism and Hospitality' are contributing to this increase in tourist flow. This brings us closer to the goal set by President Vladimir Putin of increasing the share of tourism in the country's GDP to 5% and the number of tourist trips to 140 million by 2030," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

He also presented data on the dynamics of previous years: 2021 – 66.5 million (40% more than in 2020), 2022 – 73.1 million (almost 10% more than in 2021), 2023 – 83.6 million (14% more than in 2022), 2024 – 90.1 million (almost 8% more than in 2023). Last year, 2024, was a record year for the number of tourist trips in Russia, with their number growing by 35% compared to 2021.

Over the first 11 months of 2025, Moscow (11.3 million), Krasnodar Krai (9 million), and St. Petersburg (6.5 million) traditionally received the largest number of tourist trips. The top ten also included the Moscow Region (5.2 million), the Republic of Tatarstan (2.6 million), the Republic of Crimea (2.4 million), Sverdlovsk Region (2 million), Stavropol Krai (1.7 million), Tyumen Region (1.7 million), and Rostov Region (1.6 million).

Particularly impressive growth rates were demonstrated by regions actively developing tourism infrastructure: the Karachay-Cherkess Republic (135%), the Republic of Adygea (67%), the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug (52%), the Tver Region (50%) and the Jewish Autonomous Region (38%).

"The figures we see for domestic tourism over the first 11 months of this year, as well as for previous years, demonstrate steady growth. For the fifth year in a row, more and more Russians are choosing our country for their vacations. People are discovering Russia, and the regions are creating all the conditions for this. Our joint work with the industry and the regions within the framework of the national project 'Tourism and Hospitality' is yielding concrete results. We are seeing growth not only in traditional centers of attraction but also in those regions that are actively investing in their tourism infrastructure. A 135% increase in Karachay-Cherkessia and a 52% increase in Chukotka are striking examples of how each territory is unlocking its potential. Tourism is becoming a driver of development for the entire country, creating new jobs and businesses locally," said Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov.

The building of the Russian Gallery of Arts as part of the museum, theater and educational complex in Sevastopol

The Russian Art Gallery building, part of a museum, theater, and educational complex, was opened on Cape Khrustalny in the hero city of Sevastopol. This was announced by Marat Khusnullin, Deputy Prime Minister and Curator of the Southern Federal District.

"The cultural and educational clusters being built in four cities—Vladivostok, Kemerovo, Kaliningrad, and Sevastopol—at the President's behest are undoubtedly the largest cultural construction projects and are destined to become symbols of modern Russia. The scale of the complexes is impressive—their total area exceeds 600,000 square meters, allowing for up to 30,000 visitors simultaneously. The complexes include a wide variety of facilities, designed both to host cultural events and to nurture the talented youth for whom our country has always been renowned. A number of these facilities have already been completed. And now, in Sevastopol, construction has been completed on the Russian Art Gallery building. With a total area of over 14,000 square meters, the complex will be able to accommodate up to 800 visitors simultaneously. It will become the largest art museum in southern Russia," said Marat Khusnullin.

The lower level of the museum complex houses a domed theater, a storage facility, and a restoration center. The upper floor houses an education and creativity center, as well as utility and amenity spaces. The exhibition halls are located in the museum's "cloud." One of the key features of the future permanent exhibition will be the Gallery of Heroes of Sevastopol.

"This is a landmark project, which we built at the behest of President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. The Russian Art Gallery will open in 2026. This facility will become not only the largest art museum in southern Russia but also a powerful center of culture, education, and creativity with truly unique solutions. Our main task now is to imbue these magnificent spaces with vibrant content, making them the heart of cultural life, a focal point for residents and visitors alike. Looking out from here onto our bay and the changing face of Sevastopol, you clearly understand: this and other facilities are more than just buildings; they are a step into the future of our city, its new cultural identity," said Sevastopol Governor Mikhail Razvozhaev.

According to Dmitry Lesnykh, CEO of Argo JSC, which oversaw the construction, the building took four years to construct. "It's modern, unconventional, and complex in terms of architecture, design, and construction. Every element of the building is unique. For example, the grade of concrete or the rebar, the doors or lifting mechanisms, the climate control system, or the flooring—everything has been carefully considered. This allows us to confidently say that this will be a technologically flagship cultural institution in southern Russia," commented Dmitry Lesnykh.

In the fall of 2024, Russia's southernmost Choreography Academy, designed for 250 students, opened its doors in Sevastopol. Students are already living and studying in one of the most unique ballet buildings in the world. The apartment building, built in close proximity to the new cultural facilities, is partially occupied by faculty from the Choreography Academy and staff from the Russian State Art Gallery.

Construction of the cultural cluster in Sevastopol continues. This includes the construction of the city's landmark, the opera and ballet theater. This unique structure, in terms of its design, is unique not only in Russia but worldwide.

In total, the museum, theater, and educational complex in Sevastopol includes seven buildings: the Academy of Choreography, a museum complex, an opera and ballet theater, two apartment buildings, an industrial and warehouse complex, and an electrical substation.

Marat Khusnullin: Overhaul of a 100-meter overpass has been completed in Yenakievo

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Extensive road network repairs, including artificial structures, have been launched in the reunified regions. For example, by the end of the year, a 100-meter-long overpass over railway tracks in Yenakiyev, Donetsk People's Republic, was overhauled, as reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"The overpass was built back in 1963, and connecting several districts, it is one of the city's key routes, carrying approximately 4,500 vehicles daily. Over time, the structure fell into disrepair; its structures deteriorated, and damage to one of the supports restricted truck traffic. Just before the New Year, road workers completed a major overhaul of the overpass: they reinforced the load-bearing elements and superstructures, widened the roadway, and restored two tram lanes. This extended the lifespan of the structure and made travel more comfortable and safe for city residents and residents of the region," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that the overpass work was carried out under the supervision of the state-owned company Avtodor. To date, approximately 70 artificial structures have been renovated in Donbas and Novorossiya.

"The facility was supposed to be commissioned next year, but the work was completed in less than a year. You could say this is our New Year's gift to the residents of Yenakiyeve and the Donetsk People's Republic. This facility is crucial for the city and the region as a whole, as it experiences high traffic volumes. Completion of the major overhaul has reduced travel times for residents and is part of the comprehensive restoration of the region's transport infrastructure," noted Vyacheslav Petushenko, Chairman of the Board of the state-owned company Avtodor.

Salaries and social needs – a list of expenses with the digital ruble has been agreed upon

What budget payments will be made using the electronic ruble?

The government has published a list of expenses for which transactions can be made using the digital ruble. The list includes the following federal budget expenditures:

Social payments to citizens; salaries of civil servants; financing of construction services; repair work at government facilities.

Starting in 2026, payments to the budget and government agencies can be made in digital rubles. The Ministry of Finance clarified that using the new form of national currency is only possible at the citizen's discretion; authorities will not force Russians to open accounts. Social benefits and wages will continue to be received in the usual format—via bank accounts and MIR cards.

How is the digital ruble being launched in Russia?

An experiment with a digital ruble was launched in Russia in the summer of 2023. This new form of payment was intended to be an alternative to cash and non-cash payments. By 2025, over 9,000 individuals and over 1,000 companies had joined the project, and approximately 100,000 transactions had been conducted using the currency. Large-scale implementation has been repeatedly delayed due to banks' reluctance to lose profits, as well as the lack of technical and legislative readiness.

"In mid-2025, the law on the digital ruble was signed by the president. Large companies will be required to use the new payment method starting in September 2026, while other market participants were granted a deferment until 2028," the expert recalled.

The first budget payments using the digital ruble were made this fall – the federal budget then transferred the salaries of a parliamentarian and several students, as well as payments for government contracts. The project is continuing to expand, and the Central Bank plans to raise public awareness of the new payment method.
