Denis Manturov spoke at a session dedicated to the national goal of "Technological Leadership" as part of a series of thematic meetings "Platform of the Future: 100 Russian Projects."

First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov visited the National Center "Russia" and spoke at a session dedicated to the national goal "Technological Leadership" as part of a series of thematic meetings "Platform of the Future: 100 Russian Projects."

"I am pleased to welcome you to this wonderful platform, which today is dedicated to discussing the most important goal of national development. The Presidential Decree defines it as 'technological leadership.' I hope that my colleagues will be able to develop this concept through specific projects and provide a concrete understanding of how Russia will achieve superiority in global markets," Denis Manturov addressed the guests and participants.

He emphasized that achieving this ambitious goal is focused on nine national projects designed to strengthen more than 15 industries and initiate a profound transformation of key economic sectors. This particularly concerns the transportation sector, for which a line of new, all-Russian civilian aircraft is being developed within an extremely short timeframe.

"In turn, the shipbuilding industry is working to modernize the watercraft fleet. Today, we are the undisputed leader in the nuclear icebreaker segment, have expanded our position in electric passenger ships, have successfully entered the cruise liner niche, and are among the first to introduce autonomous navigation technologies," continued the First Deputy Prime Minister.

Denis Manturov noted that the trend toward autonomy is also relevant for railways, but the main breakthrough will be the creation of an electric train capable of traveling at speeds of up to 400 km/h by 2028. He also called the chemical complex, where hundreds of technologies have been implemented, equally important.

"The national project aims to ensure domestic production of over 700 critically important chemical products. This will close the production chain, eliminating reliance on imported substances. Composites are also a focus. The industry is focusing on materials that combine carbon fibers with polymers, ceramics, and metals," he said.

According to Denis Manturov, the industry has already proven its adaptability by solving the carbon fiber problem for the MS-21, and today domestic composites are used in aircraft and helicopter manufacturing, shipbuilding, and medicine.

"A separate set of tasks is related to energy, including the nuclear sector and the localization of equipment for LNG and renewable energy sources, and the Government is paying special attention to technologies for food security and the development of the bioeconomy. The world already understands that biocompetence can transform virtually any industry. We are successfully integrating into this global trend, which will allow us to claim a leading position in the future. Thus, today, technologies and breakthroughs in one area are becoming a catalyst for change in dozens of others," he noted.

Denis Manturov focused on the space industry, where the challenge is to increase satellite production and reduce launch costs by developing new launch vehicles. Furthermore, projects to build a Russian orbital station and a lunar station powered by nuclear power were highlighted.

"The time when engineering and creative thought were relegated to a secondary role is, fortunately, gone forever. Therefore, I hope that the platform for the future being laid today will provide fertile ground for the realization of your boldest, most audacious ideas," the First Deputy Prime Minister concluded.

A series of thematic programs, "Platform of the Future: 100 Russian Projects," is being held at the National Center "Russia." They are dedicated to the national development goals outlined in Presidential Decree No. 309.

Document

Order No. 3773-r of December 12, 2025

At the President's direction, the Government has developed a program for the preservation of cultural heritage sites of the peoples of Russia, covering the period 2025–2045, and an action plan for its implementation. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed the order approving this document.

The main goal of the new program is to preserve the country's cultural and historical heritage for current and future generations. Its implementation will increase the number of restored historical and cultural monuments and integrate them into economic use.

To achieve this goal, the program includes specific mechanisms. These include subsidies to regions and non-profit organizations for cultural heritage preservation activities, as well as subsidized loans to entrepreneurs for the restoration of such sites. It is expected that at least 1,000 historic buildings will be restored by 2030 using this subsidized instrument, and at least 800 more by 2045. Investors will be able to become property owners, provided they comply with cultural heritage preservation obligations.

The program also includes an inventory of cultural heritage sites included in the state register and in need of restoration. These sites will then be prioritized for economic development, allowing for a precise determination of the funding, resources, and time required to restore them to their proper condition.

Furthermore, it is planned to improve legislation in the area of preserving cultural heritage sites, specifically by eliminating excessive requirements for work, reducing the timeframe for reviewing and approving project documentation and conducting state historical and cultural assessments, creating conditions for the development of human resources, including for the preservation of the Russian school of restoration, and completing work on approving territorial boundaries, protected areas, and urban planning regulations in settlements designated as historic settlements. Furthermore, the development of historic settlements and key settlements should be synchronized with the implementation of the national project "Tourism and Hospitality."

As a result of the program's implementation, the share of restored cultural heritage sites included in the unified register of historical and cultural monuments will increase to 90% by 2045.

Mikhail Mishustin announced the approval of the program for the preservation of cultural heritage sites and its main objectives on December 16Government awards ceremony in the field of culture.

"We expect cultural figures to play an active role in fulfilling these tasks. Your dedication and professionalism are absolutely indispensable here," the Prime Minister emphasized.

On the federal highway M-1 "Belarus", the project to reconstruct the section from 66 to 84 km continues.

"We are consistently implementing a road infrastructure development program. It is a key factor in improving people's quality of life, road safety, and territorial development. Furthermore, modernizing existing roads is essential to significantly improve transport accessibility. Specifically, we are reconstructing 18 km of the M-1 "Belarus" highway in the Moscow region. We will widen this section from four to six lanes, which will increase road capacity and ensure comfortable travel for motorists. As of today, the overall technical readiness of the project has exceeded 80%. Earthworks on this section are fully completed. The final stage is paving—approximately 455,000 tons of asphalt concrete have been laid, or 94% of the total," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that more than 39 km of barrier fencing (80% of the total) have already been installed at the site, and over 32 km of monolithic parapet fencing (95% of the total) have been installed. Construction workers are continuing work on installing drainage channels from the roadway, automated traffic management system (ATMS) cable ducts, and installing traffic management frame supports.

According to Vyacheslav Petushenko, Chairman of the Board of the state-owned company Avtodor, construction and installation work is underway on 12 artificial structures at the reconstruction site.

"Currently, work is underway on two bridges over the Nara and Kapanka rivers, four overpasses, one of which is already open to traffic, and six pedestrian overpasses. Additionally, for the convenience of drivers, we are constructing a rest area at the 74th kilometer of the highway. Currently, specialists are busy landscaping it, installing traffic control equipment, and installing a sanitary module. The overall technical readiness of the site is 90%," explained Vyacheslav Petushenko.

The work involves 1,000 people and 380 pieces of specialized equipment. Completion of the reconstruction is scheduled for next year.

Systematic work to develop comfortable service for drivers and passengers continues across the country's road network. For example, a new multifunctional road service zone (MFTZ) has opened at the 66th kilometer of the inner Central Ring Road in the Moscow Region.

"We continue to develop roadside infrastructure and create comfortable rest areas for motorists on highways. In recent years, the quality of such services has improved significantly – the format of ordinary gas stations has evolved into entire multifunctional zones. They not only help ensure driver comfort but also drive regional economic growth. A new multifunctional zone has opened at the 66th kilometer of the inner side of the Central Ring Road in the Moscow Region – the seventh on this highway. It is located opposite the previously opened multifunctional zone on the outer side of the Central Ring Road between Yaroslavskoe Shosse and the M-12 Vostok Highway. The multifunctional zone separates freight and passenger traffic, and also provides separate pedestrian routes. It provides the necessary infrastructure for rest areas for both professional drivers and motorists with passengers, including families with children. Systematic work to expand the use of multifunctional zones on Russian highways will continue," said Marat Khusnullin.

A modern gas station has been built on the premises of the new multifunctional plant. It offers convenient parking spaces and parking areas. Drivers can also take advantage of additional services, such as tire inflation. Showers are available for professional drivers in a separate restroom next to the truck parking area.

According to Vyacheslav Petushenko, Chairman of the Board of the state-owned company Avtodor, stops at the new intercity bus stations will allow for quality rest and recuperation along the way.

"We're actively expanding our network of modern multifunctional roadside service areas for motorists. These locations improve road safety and make driving on highways much more comfortable. At the new multifunctional roadside service area, motorists can not only grab a quick bite but also purchase hot meals. For families with small children, the building is equipped with a changing table, and there's an outdoor playground for toddlers with a perimeter fence and a sports area. This roadside service facility will be further developed. A single service building and other popular amenities will be built on its premises," said Vyacheslav Petushenko.
