First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov presented Mikhail Gordin, Rector of Bauman Moscow State Technical University, with the Order "For Valiant Labor." In accordance with the decree signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in January 2026, the university staff was awarded for their significant contribution to the development of science and education and the training of highly qualified specialists.

The award is the fourth in Baumanka's history. Previously, the team was awarded three of the highest state orders.

Denis Manturov noted that the award recognizes the talent, brilliant intellect, and dedication of those who have nurtured and continue to nurture the elite of Russia's engineering corps. The First Deputy Prime Minister expressed special gratitude to Baumanka's veterans and distinguished employees and emphasized the university's contribution to addressing the ambitious challenges of technological leadership.

"For nearly two centuries, the university has been shaping the nation's scientific and technical potential. Its history is a chronicle of the creation of the Russian engineering school, in which a special place is given to the labor heroism of a galaxy of great professors, teachers, and mentors. It also honors those who, having graduated from their university, undaunted the path of pioneers and achieved technological breakthroughs. They made an invaluable contribution to the establishment and development of knowledge-intensive industry and to strengthening our country's defense capability," said Denis Manturov.

The rector of Bauman Moscow State Technical University thanked his colleagues for their many years of dedicated work.

"Our team is a unique community of scientists, teachers, engineers, and students united by a common goal: to train specialists capable of solving the country's most complex problems. Every year, our contribution to this work grows ever more significant – largely due to the university's new capabilities: modern facilities, high-tech equipment, and a renovated campus, where an environment for breakthrough research and the training of a new generation of engineers is being created," noted Mikhail Gordin.

Resolution of March 17, 2026 No. 277

Comment

From Mikhail Mishustin's opening remarks at the operational meeting with deputy prime ministers, March 24, 2026

Russia will develop a list of strategically important medications that meet the priority needs of the healthcare system for the prevention and treatment of diseases. Their full production cycle must be ensured within the country. The rules and criteria for compiling the list were approved by a decree signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. This decision will increase the country's pharmaceutical independence and maintain a stable supply of essential medications to clinics and hospitals.

The list will include vital and essential medications, vaccines included in the national calendar of preventive vaccinations and the calendar of vaccinations for epidemic indications, blood products, blood substitutes, infusion solutions, narcotic analgesics, medications for the treatment of especially dangerous infections, socially significant diseases, and diseases that pose a danger to others.

The production of such drugs will be organized with state support. Furthermore, drugs included in the list will be given priority in government procurement.

"We hope this will reduce the pharmaceutical industry's dependence on foreign suppliers and, overall, contribute to achieving the national goal of preserving the population, improving health and well-being, and supporting families," Mikhail Mishustin noted at a meeting with deputy prime ministers on March 24.

The list will be compiled by a special interdepartmental commission, which will include representatives from the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Finance, the Federal Medical and Biological Agency, the Ministry of Economic Development, the Federal Antimonopoly Service, Roszdravnadzor, and Rospotrebnadzor.

The work is being carried out within the framework of the implementation of the Strategy for the Development of the Pharmaceutical Industry until 2030.

This concerns a deferral of mineral extraction tax and insurance premium payments. The payment deadlines for coal industry organizations have been extended until April 30, 2026. The arrears can be repaid in equal monthly installments from May to the end of November 2026.

Also, until April 30, no penalties will be applied to coal companies for tax arrears and insurance premium arrears, provided that bankruptcy proceedings have not been initiated against the debtor organizations.

"This will free up working capital at promising coal companies for ongoing operations," Mikhail Mishustin noted at a meeting with deputy prime ministers on March 24.

The Government, at the direction of the President, introduced additional support measures for coal companies effective June 1, 2025. Earlier, in May, Mikhail Mishustin held a meeting on the situation in the industry. The Prime Minister noted that it is one of the core industries that ensures the stable operation of key economic sectors, including metallurgy, electric power, and housing and utilities, and also contributes to addressing social issues.

Mikhail Mishustin held talks with Prime Minister of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam Pham Minh Tinh. Mishustin: Good afternoon, dear friends! I warmly welcome you, Mr. Pham Minh Tinh. Welcome to the Government House of the Russian Federation.

First of all, I would like to ask you to convey our warmest greetings and best wishes to the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Comrade To Lam, and the President of Vietnam, Comrade Luong Cuong.

I fondly remember meeting them during my visit to Hanoi last January.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you and all our Vietnamese friends on the successful holding of the 14th Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam, as well as the recent elections to the National Assembly of Vietnam. The Supreme Party Forum approved strategic objectives to accelerate Vietnam's socioeconomic development. I am confident that these goals will be achieved.

We sincerely value friendly Russian-Vietnamese relations, based on the principles of a comprehensive strategic partnership, mutual respect, and consideration of each other's interests.

Through our governments, we ensure the effective implementation of agreements reached at the highest level. We are already implementing the Comprehensive Plan for Cooperation between Russia and Vietnam until 2030. As a reminder, it was approved in Hanoi last January.

We place particular emphasis on expanding trade and economic cooperation. We propose continuing our joint efforts to increase mutual trade turnover and diversify its structure.

We also see our common goal in creating favorable conditions for the growth of mutual investment and the launch of new projects in industry, energy, transport infrastructure, agriculture, and many other areas.

Following today's negotiations, an intergovernmental agreement was signed on the construction of the first nuclear power plant in Vietnam.

The creation of a nuclear power plant will provide a powerful impetus to the development of cooperation in related fields – high technology, fundamental and applied scientific research.

I am confident that this project will become a new symbol of Russian-Vietnamese friendship.

In the oil and gas sector, following intergovernmental agreements, Zarubezhneft and PetroVietnam have signed agreements that will enable the practical implementation of projects to develop oil fields in Russia and Vietnam.

We place particular emphasis on strengthening humanitarian ties. Russian Culture Days are currently taking place in Vietnam. We are delighted that many generations of Vietnamese know and love Russian culture and art.

Vietnamese resorts are popular with Russian tourists. We continue to create favorable conditions for further increasing mutual tourist flows.

Dear Comrade Pham Minh Tinh, I look forward to discussing with you the most pressing issues on the Russian-Vietnamese agenda. It is my pleasure to hand the floor over to you.

To be continued…
