Mikhail Mishustin and the heads of delegations participating in the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council meeting visited the Atom Museum in Moscow.

The Atom Museum is a one-of-a-kind museum dedicated to nuclear technologies of the past, present, and future, not only in Russia but worldwide. Just recently, in early November, it celebrated its second anniversary (it opened in November 2023).

The museum building is a showcase of architectural innovation. It blends seamlessly into the historic VDNKh complex. It has seven floors, three of which extend below ground level and are built into the bed of the underground Kamenka River. The building's architectural design is unusual: the three underground floors convey the depth of atomic processes, while the four aboveground floors, with their extensive glazing, create a sense of open space. The museum's total area is 25,000 square meters. The extended, floating roof, combined with the expansive glass facades, creates a sense of unity with the surrounding space.

Atom is one of the capital's most visited attractions. Over the past two years, it has welcomed over 3.5 million visitors from 80 countries. The museum's seven floors offer a fascinating journey through the history of the Soviet atomic project and the latest advances in science and the nuclear industry. The museum features interactive exhibitions, classes in a fully equipped laboratory, immersive tours, quests, and science experiments for the whole family.

The museum's foyer features an art object representing a model of a uranium atom—Earth's main energy source. The museum's narrative is built from the bottom up. The ground floor is dedicated to the past—the heroic creation of the USSR's nuclear shield. The floor above is dedicated to dreams, introducing visitors to the most unusual, and sometimes fantastical, projects that emerged when the peaceful use of nuclear energy began. And the first floor presents contemporary developments in the nuclear industry.

Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmytro Grigorenko instructed the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media and the Analytical Center under the Government to develop proposals for the creation of a digital platform for the development of data centers. It will integrate a set of services to support the entire data center lifecycle, from construction to commissioning. The platform will help simplify and accelerate the data center creation process and aggregate information on the computing capacity available in the country.

The platform is proposed to include services for selecting land plots and ordering inspections (for example, to check for encumbrances); information on available benefits, the availability of communication lines, the availability of electrical power, and other infrastructure. Furthermore, the creation of a marketplace for data center design and maintenance equipment and services for businesses is being discussed.

The creation of a unified digital platform will enable a transition from the construction of isolated, isolated data centers to the systematic development of a network by bringing together all stakeholders, from businesses to the government, on a single platform. Furthermore, the platform will serve as a single point of information collection on existing data centers, rental offers, needs for additional capacity, and the availability of infrastructure for their construction.

This new approach will accelerate the process of obtaining the necessary data for data center construction, make the process transparent, and reduce construction and commissioning time.

"One of our priorities is the implementation of artificial intelligence. However, this technology requires infrastructure and a sufficient number of data centers. The demand for computing power is rapidly growing. Our goal is to simplify and accelerate the creation of data centers. To this end, we are exploring the creation of a digital platform – a single platform where businesses can obtain accurate information about available sites, the availability of nearby infrastructure, and even order ready-made construction solutions and equipment. For businesses, this means convenient services that simplify the data center construction process. For the government, this means the opportunity to assess the data center market situation and determine the real need for new capacity," noted Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

According to the instruction, the Ministry of Digital Development and Communications and the Analytical Center under the Government must develop and submit proposals by March 2026. These proposals will be discussed with businesses to develop the most effective platform structure and identify the most in-demand services.

Over 50 life events have been launched on the government services portal. They help people comprehensively address a variety of issues, from university admissions to retirement. Now, you can prepare for pregnancy and complete your baby's first documents using the "Planning and Birth of a Child" life event. The implementation and development of these life events is part of the federal project "A State for People," overseen by Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

"Life-situations services on Gosuslugi help citizens resolve their issues more easily and quickly. Comprehensive services have freed people from the need to gather excessive amounts of documents and navigate the intricacies of government departments. Citizens and businesses already have access to services such as 'Large Families,' 'University Admissions,' 'Retirement,' 'Starting an IT Company,' and many others. And now a new life-situation service—'Planning and Having a Child'—has been launched on the Gosuslugi portal," said Dmitry Grigorenko.

The "Planning and Having a Child" life situation helps you obtain a birth certificate and register your child at your place of residence, as well as receive government support measures available to pregnant women and families with children.

Now, citizens planning to have children and parents of infants can obtain all the necessary information, complete paperwork, and take advantage of government support measures in one convenient digital space.

This situation allows you to complete and submit an application for a child's birth certificate and residence registration in just two clicks. The newborn's SNILS and compulsory medical insurance policy number will be assigned automatically.

A digital navigator on the life situation page helps you learn about available support measures. You can also apply for benefits and subsidies without leaving the government services portal.

Life-situational services represent a new stage in the development of the public service delivery system. One such service combines, on average, approximately 17 related public services and helps users access them comprehensively, in a single-window environment. For example, "House Construction," "Online Fraud Protection," "Tax Deduction," and so on.

The catalog of life situations on the government services portal includes over 50 federal life situations. By the end of 2025, this number will increase to 70.

First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov chaired the first meeting of the Government Commission on Industry.

The event was attended by commission members: Anton Alikhanov, Minister of Industry and Trade; Oksana Lut, Minister of Agriculture; Mikhail Murashko, Ministry of Health; Andrey Nikitin, Ministry of Transport; Maxim Reshetnikov, Ministry of Economic Development; Maksut Shadayev, Ministry of Digital Development; and Vladimir Gutenyov, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Industry and Trade. The commission was created to ensure coordinated efforts among federal ministries to achieve technological leadership.

"The new collegial body will retain some of the functions of the Government Commission on Import Substitution. Overall, it has completed the first wave of localization of the most in-demand industrial products. Since 2015, more than 2,000 significant projects have been implemented. And now, in addition to launching new finished products, companies are mastering the mass production of raw materials, components, and components. They are also focusing on the development and implementation of critical technologies," said Denis Manturov.

In this area, the key areas of work are defined by the federal law "On Technological Policy." One of the commission's priorities is to align technological policy with strategic approaches to industrial development. As the First Deputy Prime Minister emphasized, all industrial projects must incorporate cutting-edge innovations, meet the high demands of consumer sectors, and thereby contribute to achieving technological leadership.

"To consolidate systemic support mechanisms around this comprehensive national development goal, the commission must select priority investment projects. For each project, it must formulate a specific need for engineering products, connect customers with potential contractors. And in certain cases, where we haven't yet developed the necessary expertise, it must coordinate the purchase of foreign-made products," stated Denis Manturov.

Participants discussed the commission's structure, main goals, and objectives. The First Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that, despite the strategic nature of the new platform's issues, it is essential to continue working on current tasks and to focus on identifying risks in the implementation of national technological leadership projects.

"In implementing national technological leadership projects, we will focus primarily on intersectoral and interdepartmental coordination and removing barriers to their implementation. At the same time, we will collaborate with our colleagues to determine the contribution of industries and individual companies to achieving these objectives," noted Anton Alikhanov.
