Dear colleagues!

For eight decades, the nuclear industry has rightfully been considered the pride of Russian science and engineering. Thanks to the hard work, experience, and dedication of those driving this field forward, a solid foundation has been laid for ensuring energy security, sovereignty, and sustainable development for our country. Today, the nuclear sector is not only a symbol of Russia's technological leadership but also an inexhaustible source of inspiration for scientists, engineers, researchers, and innovators.

On this day, special words of appreciation and gratitude go to our dear veterans. You were the ones who stood at the origins of the nuclear industry, sparing no effort or health for this great goal, demonstrating courage and the highest level of professionalism. Your perseverance, knowledge, and wisdom became the foundation for new generations of nuclear scientists, inspiring young specialists to achieve great things and create for the benefit of the country.

Today, the Russian nuclear industry continues to grow confidently, implementing large-scale projects around the world, introducing cutting-edge technologies, and strengthening our country's position on the international stage. And this is thanks invaluable to the efforts of each and every one of you: veterans, active professionals, and young employees just taking their first steps in this field.

Please accept my sincere gratitude for your work, commitment to principles, and dedication to the development of the domestic nuclear industry. I wish you and your families good health, happiness, prosperity, new successes, discoveries, and victories in the name of our country!

It's important that you never rest on your laurels, develop dynamically, implement new projects and programs, and expand international cooperation.

Your competence, dedication, and responsible approach to work enable you to consistently achieve high results, contribute to technological sovereignty, and strengthen the country's defense capability.

I would like to express my gratitude to the veterans who have contributed so much to the development of the industry. I also wish all nuclear industry workers continued success and achievements for the benefit of the Fatherland and our citizens. I wish you and your families good health and prosperity.

Closing ceremony of the fourth Open World Astronomy Olympiad (2025).

The closing ceremony of the fourth Open World Astronomy Olympiad (Open World Astronomy Olympiad 2025) took place at the Sirius Federal University. The intellectual competition, held from September 20 to 27, brought together teams of high school students from more than 15 countries. All six members of the Russian team won gold medals, repeating their success from all three years of participation. Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Minister of Education Sergei Kravtsov congratulated the winners.

"President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin recently called for every effort to ensure Russia remains a leader in space exploration and research. Our schoolchildren's remarkable victory at the International Astronomy Olympiad demonstrates that we have the key to maintaining this leadership: talented and passionate students. We are proud that all six team members once again won gold. I thank their parents, teachers, and mentors for their support and contribution to their preparation. I wish our winners continued interest in astronomy and a worthy application of their talents for the benefit of our entire country," the Deputy Prime Minister stated.

Ekaterina Churkina, Vladimir Zinin, Nikolai Gamynin, Olga Karaseva, Ivan Pruglo, and Margarita Tsvetkova won gold medals. Ekaterina Churkina became the overall winner of the Olympiad.

"I congratulate all the participants and winners of the Open International Astronomy Olympiad! Hosting such a high-level competition in Russia is a landmark event, underscoring our commitment to developing scientific cooperation. The most talented schoolchildren from around the world have gathered at the Sirius Federal Campus. Astronomy is a significant science that not only reveals the secrets of the Universe but also shapes scientific understanding and teaches global thinking. I wholeheartedly congratulate our team on their brilliant success – all Russian participants once again won gold medals. I would like to express special gratitude to the mentors and coaches whose hard work, professionalism, and faith in their students are the foundation of these victories," noted Sergey Kravtsov.

In 2025, 18 participants from Russia, Belarus, Mongolia, Armenia, Peru, Egypt, Bangladesh, and Venezuela won gold medals. Sixteen schoolchildren each won silver and bronze medals.

Teams of six were formed from schoolchildren under 18.

Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko held a working meeting with representatives of digital platforms from Russia and China at the World Expo for Digital Commerce in Hangzhou. The key topic of the dialogue was a discussion of current trends in digital economy regulation and the exchange of experience between the two countries.

The meeting focused on a new federal law adopted in Russia in July of this year, which establishes basic rules for regulating digital intermediary platforms. The law aims to increase the transparency of online platforms and protect consumer rights. Key innovations include mandatory identification of sellers through state information systems, as well as a ban on the distribution of certain categories of goods, such as dietary supplements and medications, without a state registration certificate.

According to the law, foreign platforms must also comply with the new rules. To this end, foreign partners are required to establish branches or representative offices in Russia.

"Next year, a law regulating the platform economy will come into force, including new rules for foreign platforms. It's important for us to coordinate our efforts with our Chinese partners to ensure the practical implementation of these regulations and the protection of citizens' interests on digital platforms," noted Dmitry Grigorenko.

Russia was one of the first countries to adopt a law regulating the platform economy. This July, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the law. The new measures will come into effect on October 1, 2026.

The meeting was attended by Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov and Minister of Digital Development Maksut Shadayev, as well as representatives of the largest e-commerce platforms from Russia and China.

On World Tourism Day, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov congratulated industry workers and travelers and presented tourist data for the first eight months of this year.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted the significance of the achieved indicators.

"According to Rosstat, the number of tourist trips within Russia increased by 5% over the first eight months compared to the same period last year, exceeding 61 million. In our country, measures under the national project 'Tourism and Hospitality' are helping to develop domestic tourism. Thanks to them, regions are improving infrastructure and creating new tourism products. This contributes to the goal set by President Vladimir Putin of ensuring that tourism accounts for 5% of the country's GDP and 140 million tourist trips by 2030," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

He wished Russians to travel more, discovering the beauty and sights of the country.

Dmitry Chernyshenko added that, thanks to support measures from the federal government, positive trends have been maintained for the fifth year. Following a decline caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the number of tourist trips is steadily growing: 66.5 million in 2021 (40% more than in 2020), 73.1 million in 2022 (almost 10% more than in 2021), 83.6 million in 2023 (14% more than in 2022), and 90 million in 2024 (almost 8% more than in 2023).

Last year, 2024, was a record year for tourist trips across Russia, with the number increasing by 37% compared to 2021.

Based on the results of the first eight months of 2025, Moscow (8.2 million trips), Krasnodar Krai (6.5 million), and St. Petersburg (4.8 million) traditionally received the largest number of tourists. The top six also included the Moscow Region (3.8 million), the Republic of Tatarstan (2 million), and the Republic of Crimea (1.8 million). Particularly impressive growth rates were demonstrated by regions actively developing tourism infrastructure: the Karachay-Cherkess Republic, the Republic of Adygea, the Republic of Kalmykia, Tver Oblast, and the Jewish Autonomous Oblast.

"It's encouraging to see domestic tourism growing in popularity. This shows that our efforts to diversify the tourism market are paying off," commented Maxim Reshetnikov.

On World Tourism Day, celebrated on September 27, Dmitry Chernyshenko and Maxim Reshetnikov also congratulated industry workers and travelers.

"I congratulate all industry representatives on this holiday. I wish you creative and professional growth, new ideas, health, and inspiration. I am confident that through our joint efforts, we will make our regions even more attractive for travel," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

"I express my gratitude to everyone who contributes to the development of the tourism industry. Through the combined efforts of the government, regions, and businesses, the industry will continue to build its potential, facilitating economic growth and creating a comfortable environment for millions of tourists," Maxim Reshetnikov noted, addressing tourism industry workers.

On September 27, Russia celebrates a professional holiday: Day of the Teacher and All Workers in the Preschool Education System. This day is intended to highlight the immense importance of the work of those who lay the foundations of a child's personality and help them take their first steps into the world of knowledge. Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Minister of Education Sergei Kravtsov congratulated Russian teachers on this professional holiday.

"Our President, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, has repeatedly emphasized the important role of education in the development of individuals and society. Today, over 637,000 teachers work in Russia's preschool education system. These are incredibly responsible, caring, and attentive people who instill traditional values in our children and foster a continued interest in learning and exploring the world. I thank each of them for their contribution to shaping our future—the younger generation. And congratulations on your professional holiday! I wish you responsive students and parents, bright ideas, an inexhaustible passion for your work, and as many reasons as possible for joy in each day," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

Dmitry Chernyshenko added that the "Teachers and Mentors" federal project, part of the "Youth and Children" national project, includes a range of support measures aimed at enhancing professional status and creating comfortable working conditions.

The Deputy Prime Minister reported that there are more than 32,000 independent kindergartens and over 44,000 organizations implementing preschool education programs in the country.

The industry's human resources potential is impressive in its diversity and professionalism.

"The profession of a teacher requires not only the highest level of professionalism but also boundless generosity of spirit. We place special emphasis on creating conditions for the continuous professional growth of preschool teachers. One of our most important tasks is to provide them with all the necessary resources and teaching materials to ensure that their work in kindergarten is modern, engaging, and effective," added Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov.

Professional excellence competitions are an important tool for enhancing the prestige of the profession and disseminating best practices. These competitions identify talented teachers and innovators in their field, and provide an opportunity for the entire professional community to adopt best practices. The main competition in the preschool education system is "Teacher of the Year in Russia."

Educator's and All Preschool Workers' Day has been celebrated in Russia since 2004. The date of September 27 was chosen for a reason: on this day in 1863, the first kindergarten in Russia opened in St. Petersburg.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko attended the ceremonial opening of a Buddhist Sunday school. It will operate at the renovated Kalmyk National Gymnasium in Elista.

"Today is a wonderful, historic day. A Buddhist school is opening at the Kalmykia National Gymnasium, which was renovated thanks to the "Youth and Children" national project, offering supplementary education. Under wise leadership, it will combine secular and spiritual education. The values of Buddhism largely align with those enshrined in President Vladimir Putin's Decree No. 809. It is in Kalmykia, where representatives and peoples of different faiths have lived in friendship for centuries, that children will receive precisely this kind of proper education and be instilled with kindness, compassion, love for one's neighbor, and love for one's homeland—all of which distinguish our Russia," noted Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The Deputy Prime Minister wished all the students success in their studies. He expressed confidence that the opportunities opened up in the country by the national projects established at the President's behest will be realized at the highest level.

"We are fulfilling the instructions and guidance of our President, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, and are contributing to the development of Buddhist education. We are working to ensure that secular and Buddhist approaches to education unite, bringing goodness and knowledge, and opening the way to harmony. This is the enormous work of our fellow countrymen and those who have come from other regions. They understand that they are serving a special and very important mission," said Batu Khasikov, Head of the Republic of Kalmykia.

Classes at the Buddhist school are taught personally by the Shajin Lama of Kalmykia, Geshe Tenzin Choydak. He will introduce young students to key concepts of Buddhism. The curriculum includes the study of Buddhist logic. A separate course is devoted to the Old Kalmyk script, "Todo Bichig."

The Deputy Prime Minister attended a celebratory performance by the school's students, toured the school's themed museum exhibit dedicated to the history of Buddhism, and left a symbolic wish for prosperity and success for future generations on the school tree.

Dmitry Chernyshenko assessed the infrastructure of the first phygital center in the Southern Federal District. The center opened in September 2024 as part of the federal project "Business Sprint." Since then, more than 50 phygital and eSports events have been held, and over the past year, over 12,000 people have participated in the center's events.

At the B.B. Gorodovikov Youth Center, which was renovated in 2024, the Deputy Prime Minister met with activists of youth projects and programs, volunteers, members of the "Movement of the First," and representatives of the "Voin" center. The facility, which covers over 1,200 square meters, houses the Republican Youth Center, the regional headquarters of the "Movement of the First," the "Khamdan" association, and a branch of the "Volunteers of Victory."

Dmitry Chernyshenko thanked the volunteers who assist the SVO participants and participate in organizing and holding the International Buddhist Forum. He was also shown the office-museum of Hero of the Soviet Union Basan Gorodovikov, after whom the center is named.

Dmitry Chernyshenko assessed the progress of the reconstruction of the republic's multifunctional youth center, which is being carried out as part of the all-Russian "Region for the Young" program. It will house a branch of the "Movement of the First," creative clubs, and patriotic associations. Plans include creating exhibition spaces and preserving the chess museum named after world chess champion Mikhail Tal.
