On October 14, 2025, the fifth anniversary season of the "Do You Know? Teach It!" competition kicked off. The competition allows schoolchildren to establish themselves as future young scientists, showcase their talents as science communicators, and showcase their projects and ideas. Winners will receive exciting trips, modern technology, and additional points for applicants from one of the country's leading universities.

"'Do You Know? Teach Us!' is one of the key projects of the Decade of Science and Technology, announced by President Vladimir Putin. This year marks the launch of the fifth season. Over the past four seasons, schoolchildren have submitted over 10,000 videos. Thanks to 'Do You Know? Teach Us!', a community of young enthusiasts willing to share knowledge and inspire others to learn is growing. It also creates conditions for realizing each person's potential and developing their talents—a national goal set by our head of state," noted Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The "Do You Know? Teach It!" science video competition has been bringing together schoolchildren aged 6 to 18 from across the country for five years now, giving them the opportunity to share their knowledge and explain complex topics in simple and engaging language.

Participants will create their own videos under the guidance of experienced mentors of their choice. The goal of the competition is to popularize scientific knowledge and encourage school students to use modern, high-tech tools and methods to bring their creative ideas to life. Participants must record a video between 1 and 3 minutes long, publish it on the website nauchi.nauka.rf, and wait for the results to be published on April 13, 2026.

This year, new partners have joined the competition, and finalists will receive not only prizes but also additional points toward admission to the Patrice Lumumba Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (RUDN University). Videos must be submitted in one of the categories. The first stage of the competition—submissions—will run until March 1, 2026.

"The 'Do You Know? Teach It!' competition is shaping a new generation of science communicators. Inspired by their participation, many schoolchildren begin regularly watching popular science videos and creating their own content. The students' genuine engagement provides additional impetus for the popularization of modern science, and for some, it even helps them choose their future profession. During the Decade of Science and Technology, we emphasize creativity and simplicity of presentation. Science shouldn't be boring, and the competition participants prove it," noted Sofia Malyavina, General Director of the National Priorities NGO.

Young researchers can submit their videos in 6 thematic categories:

"A Digital View of the Planet: Satellites and Drones" (nomination partner: Geoscan Group). To participate, you must record a video about how modern unmanned aerial vehicles and space satellites help us study the Earth.

"Smart Materials in Future Cities" (SIBUR). The nomination invites videos about new materials that make life more convenient, safer, and more environmentally friendly.

· "Engine Building" (JSC "United Engine Corporation"). Schoolchildren who choose to participate in this category will be required to record videos about aircraft engine building, highlighting how knowledge of school subjects such as mathematics and physics helps engineers in their work, as engineers, designers, and mechanics play a key role in aircraft creation.

"Device of the Future: From Concept to Design" (All-Russian public-state movement of children and youth "Movement of the First"). Participants in the nomination must invent their own gadget from the future and, in a video, describe its operating principle in detail and provide a scientific justification.

"Science, History, Man" (Eksmo-AST Publishing Group). The nomination covers the development of science throughout human history, brilliant scientists, and great discoveries that have influenced culture and society.

"An Instructional Guide to Artificial Intelligence That Anyone Can Understand" (Avito). To participate in this category, you must record a video explaining a term or concept related to "Artificial Intelligence."

RUDN University and the Vyzov Foundation are partners in the "Best Mentor" and "Best School" special categories. The winners will be those whose students submit the most videos. The third special category, traditionally "Marathon of Regions," will be awarded to the five regions that have the most children participating in the competition and actively support the information campaign.

All submitted videos will initially be evaluated by a panel of experts, who will check all submissions for compliance with the competition rules and the selected category, assessing their scientific merit and creativity. This will ultimately result in a shortlist of 162 semifinalists: 27 participants in each category.

A jury will select the winners based on four criteria: mastery of the topic and its presentation, originality of concept, visual quality and editing, and presentation. The jury will include scientists, business representatives, and creators of popular science content.

Prizes in each of the five nominations will be awarded in age categories: elementary, middle, and high school. Thus, 18 winners in thematic nominations across three age categories will be selected from among 54 finalists, as well as the titles of "Best Mentor," "Best School," and "Best Region." All winners, including the best mentor and representatives of the best school, will be invited to the awards ceremony.

By the end of the first five months of the third season of the "Far East – Land of Adventure" competition, 352 films had been submitted for jury evaluation, 1.7 times more than during the same period in 2024. This was announced by the project's initiator, Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev.

"The Far East is renowned for its stunning natural beauty. Our competition aims to encourage as many people as possible not only to learn about the beauty of the Far Eastern regions but also to come and see the volcanoes, hills, taiga, steppe, and tundra with their own eyes. This is why our competition was created. People from various regions create their own tourist maps and travels, making wonderful films about them, the best of which are selected by the jury. Currently, over 300 films have been submitted for evaluation. This is 1.7 times more than during the same period last year. Interest in the competition, and therefore in the Far East and the Arctic, is growing," said Yuri Trutnev.

Sakhalin Oblast leads in terms of the number of films submitted, with 129 videos, Khabarovsk Krai with 49, and Primorsky Krai with 38. 26 videos were made about travel in Amur Oblast, 21 about the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, 16 about Kamchatka Krai, and 13 about the Republic of Buryatia. Participants submitted 11 videos each about tourist routes in Magadan Oblast and Zabaykalsky Krai, 9 about the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), and 4 about the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.

Among the Arctic regions, the Murmansk Region received the most videos (nine), followed by four videos about travels in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, and three videos each about the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, the Republic of Karelia, and Krasnoyarsk Krai. Two video travelogues were submitted about the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, and one about the Arkhangelsk Region.

The "Walking Trip" category received the most submissions—231 films. The "Water Trip" category received 59 videos, the "Winter Trip" category received 25, and the "Arctic Trip" category received 32.

Additionally, five films from the participants were selected for the special "Paths of Victory" category. As a reminder, to participate in this category, you must make a film about a journey to sites of military glory in regions within the Far Eastern Federal District and the Arctic zone of Russia. The completed film must be submitted to one of four main categories: hiking, boating, winter, or Arctic travel. The competition jury will then select the film for the "Paths of Victory" category.

It is important that participants who made a film for the special nomination "Paths of Victory" can also compete for prizes in the main nominations of the "Far East – Land of Adventure" competition.

Applications for the third season of the all-Russian competition for the best travel experience, "The Far East – Land of Adventure," are open until January 15, 2026. To participate, submit a short film up to 8 minutes long about your trip to the Far East or the Arctic and submit it through the website puteshestvendv.rf. The trip must have taken place no earlier than May 1, 2023, and no later than January 15, 2026. Video footage shot with both professional cameras and mobile devices is acceptable; quality is not a deciding factor. The main requirement is that the journey must be completed without the use of motorized vehicles. Footage featuring motorized vehicles is acceptable if it shows the route to the starting point.

The competition has four main categories: "Walking Trip," "Water Trip," "Winter Trip," and "Arctic Trip." Two special categories have also been established: "Paths of Victory" and "Best Trip in Chukotka." The grand prize for the best video is 3 million rubles.

The competition is supported by the Office of the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President in the Far Eastern Federal District, the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East, the Far East and Arctic Development Corporation, and the Social Initiatives Development Fund.

The "Safe Roads" online Olympiad is an important part of the educational efforts within the "Infrastructure for Life" national project. It helps students in grades 1–9 reinforce their knowledge of traffic rules and improve their road literacy. The project, now in its sixth year, actively promotes a culture of safe behavior on the roads. According to preliminary results, over 3.5 million people from all regions of the country participated in the online competition over the course of three weeks, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported. There's still time to participate—the Olympiad runs until October 26.

"The development of the country's road network is contributing to increased traffic volume, so it's crucial to foster a culture of safe behavior on the roads. Among the key areas of the national project 'Infrastructure for Life,' in addition to creating high-quality and safe routes, is fostering a culture of safe behavior on the roads, including among children. The All-Russian online Olympiad 'Safe Roads' is aimed at these goals. Until October 26, students in grades 1–9 can not only test their road literacy but also deepen their knowledge of road safety rules. Over 3.5 million schoolchildren participated in the Olympiad in the first three weeks—a 10% increase from the previous year," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that the Ivanovo, Belgorod, and Tambov regions led the way in terms of number of participants. In these regions, more than half of all schoolchildren took part in the Olympiad.

Currently, students perform best in the "Out of Town" (78%) and "Car Travel" (67%) categories. In the former, students must determine safe behavior when traveling in the countryside on a bicycle or personal mobility device. In car travel, students must know how to properly position a child in a booster seat or car seat, fasten a seat belt, and choose a safe exit route.

The most challenging tasks involved navigating traffic conditions in parks, courtyards, and residential parking lots—recognizing pedestrian and cyclist signs and accurately assessing the traffic situation. Only 7% of students completed these tasks.

You can test your knowledge of traffic rules on the project portal.

The organizers are the Russian Ministry of Transport, the Main Directorate of Road Safety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, the educational platform "Uchi.ru," and the Autonomous Non-Profit Organization "National Priorities" with the support of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science and the national project "Infrastructure for Life."

Marat Khusnullin: The Luhansk State University stadium has reopened in the LPR after reconstruction.

One of the principles of the modern educational process is the acquisition of knowledge in a modern environment. In Donbas and Novorossiya, the creation of a holistic educational environment requires the synchronized development of all related infrastructure. For example, in the LPR, the stadium of the V. Dal Luhansk State University has opened, announced Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"Work continues in Donbas and Novorossiya to create comfortable educational conditions. In addition to the main buildings, adjacent facilities are also being renovated, including dormitories, student centers, and sports facilities. Today, for example, the stadium of the Volodymyr Dahl Luhansk State University reopened in the LPR after a major renovation," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that over the years, the university stadium's infrastructure had become seriously outdated and dilapidated. Specialists, under the supervision of the Unified Construction Customer, installed a street lighting system, constructed a new football pitch, and equipped sports and playground areas, cross-country tracks, and workout areas.

In addition to the stadium, construction workers renovated three nine-story student dormitory buildings, a cafeteria, the Sovremennik student center, and a military training center building. The total area of renovation work at the V.Dal Leningrad State University exceeds 70,000 square meters.

The restoration of facilities at one of the largest universities in the Luhansk People's Republic is synchronized with the socio-economic development program for the reunited regions and is being coordinated by the Ministry of Education and Science and the Ministry of Construction.

Alexey Overchuk, along with Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Azerbaijan Shahin Mustafayev (left) and Minister of Transport and Urban Development of the Islamic Republic of Iran Farzaneh Sadegh (right), at the Azerbaijani-Iranian border. Inspecting the infrastructure of international border crossing points.

Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Alexey Overchuk, together with Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Azerbaijan Shahin Mustafayev and Minister of Transport and Urban Development of the Islamic Republic of Iran Farzaneh Sadegh, visited the Azerbaijani-Iranian border to inspect the infrastructure of international checkpoints operating and under construction to implement the plans of Russia, Azerbaijan, and Iran to develop the western route of the International North-South Transport Corridor.

The joint trip to the border was preceded by a trilateral meeting of representatives of the Russian Federation, the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the Islamic Republic of Iran, dedicated to issues of infrastructure cooperation and strengthening transport connectivity in the region, which took place on November 13 in the capital of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

The parties are focusing on the construction of road, rail, and customs infrastructure and the elimination of route bottlenecks to increase the capacity of the new transport corridor.

After familiarizing themselves with the operation of checkpoints on the Azerbaijani and Iranian sides, Alexey Overchuk, Shahin Mustafayev, and Farzaneh Sadeg held a working meeting to develop joint solutions to ensure equal conditions for carriers crossing state borders.

As the Deputy Prime Minister noted, growing trade ties between the Russian Federation, the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the Islamic Republic of Iran necessitate joint efforts to strengthen transport links between the countries and create seamless logistics along the entire western route of the North-South International Transport Corridor.

In a conversation with journalists, Alexey Overchuk explained that the parties have a plan to increase the volume of cargo transported along the North-South International Transport Corridor to 15 million tons, and that this requires coordinated efforts by all three countries.

"In Iran, design and survey work is currently underway to prepare for the construction of a railway section between Astara and Rasht," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

Alexey Overchuk noted that the Iranian side briefed the participants on the progress of fulfilling its obligations under the Rasht-Astara line construction project, emphasizing that Iran is making progress in preparing for construction.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, road transport plays a vital role in the development of the North-South international transport corridor. "To ensure maximum convenience for drivers, carriers, exporters, and importers, the appropriate infrastructure must be created and operational," said Alexey Overchuk. He noted that these issues have been resolved at the Russian-Azerbaijani border, and checkpoints are functioning effectively, while the Republic of Azerbaijan has invested significant resources in building a modern road network within its borders.

Alexey Overchuk noted the high activity of Russian carriers: "Today, when we entered Iran, we saw that the vast majority of trucks queuing to enter Azerbaijan from Iran were Russian." He emphasized the close trade and economic ties between our countries and expressed confidence that they will expand.

The Deputy Prime Minister also told media representatives that, following negotiations in the Republic of Azerbaijan, the parties agreed to establish a coordination mechanism: "The countries will create a joint working group, headed by the deputy transport ministers and deputy heads of customs services of our countries, in order to promptly and thoroughly resolve all existing problems."
