Reducing the number of inspections while maintaining the level of security, confirming the effectiveness of the risk-oriented approach and new digital tools for remote control – the Government presented a report on the state of the state and municipal control system in the Russian Federation to the State Duma and the Federation Council.

The State Duma and the Federation Council reviewed the Government's annual report on state control (supervision) and municipal control in the Russian Federation for 2024.

"The government is consistently improving the control and supervisory sphere in Russia. We have abandoned unnecessary inspections and are introducing digital forms of control. This allows us to reduce the administrative burden on businesses and remain on guard of the rights of our citizens. Now the number of inspections is at a historical minimum: in 2024, there were fewer of them than in the COVID-19 year of 2020," commented Deputy Prime Minister – Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

According to the data presented, during the reporting period, the number of inspections decreased by 8.2% compared to 2023 and by more than 23% compared to 2020, when temporary restrictions related to the pandemic were in effect. Thus, in 2024, about 312 thousand inspections were carried out, in 2023 – 340 thousand, in 2020 – 408 thousand.

It is important that, despite the multiple reduction in the number of inspections, the overall level of safety is maintained. This became possible due to the introduction of a risk-oriented approach, including inspections by regulatory authorities based on the triggering of risk indicators.

Traditionally, risk indicator checks are among the most effective. In 2024, their effectiveness was 87.3%. For comparison, in 2023, this figure was 76.6%.

Special attention in 2024 was paid to the development of digitalization and the introduction of remote forms of control. An experiment was conducted on remote inspections of companies using the Inspector mobile application. Since this year, the use of the mobile application has been enshrined in law.

Another digital tool is also growing in popularity: the pre-trial appeal service on the public services portal. It enables entrepreneurs to challenge decisions of regulatory bodies without resorting to legal procedures and proceedings. In 2024, more than 7.5 thousand complaints were received from businesses, and the number of petitions more than doubled. These appeals serve as feedback for the Government on the quality of the state's control and supervisory function.

The Government also receives feedback from citizens through various surveys. Thus, in 2024, RANEPA conducted a survey among citizens on the level of protection of legally protected assets. The survey is conducted on those risks that are controlled by control bodies operating within the framework of the Law on Control. According to the survey results, the level of protection is growing.

A pilot project for purchasing discounted electronic tickets for suburban trains has been launched in St. Petersburg as part of the development of the “life situation” service for large families on the public services portal. A special application has been developed to implement the project, through which its participants can buy discounted tickets. This eliminates the need to stand in line at the ticket office and personally present a certificate of a large family. To board a train, it is enough to show the inspector the electronic ticket from the smartphone screen.

When project participants purchase tickets in the application, their right to benefits is confirmed automatically. To do this, you need to enter your SNILS and date of birth. The technical interaction of information systems to ensure such automatic confirmation was organized by the Ministry of Transport together with the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, as well as the Analytical Center under the Government.

The peculiarity of the services "life situations" is that the services that are necessary for people and businesses in certain circumstances are provided comprehensively and in one place. With the help of the services "life situations" the time for receiving government services, the number of visits to departments and documents that need to be provided are reduced.

Work on launching the “life situations” services is being carried out within the framework of the federal project “State for People”, which is supervised by Deputy Prime Minister – Head of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

"The "life situations" services help people quickly and easily solve the most important issues. Among them are registration and receipt of a pension, replacement of documents, construction of a house and, of course, support for large families. The functions of this service will be expanded based on the results of a pilot project that is currently underway in St. Petersburg. In addition to the possibility of registering the status and electronic certificate of a large family, it is planned to add the purchase of discounted electronic tickets in all regions of the country," said Dmitry Grigorenko.

The pilot project for large families – participants of the project will last until October of this year. Based on its results, the issue of the possibility of implementing this project throughout the country will be considered.

As part of the expansion of the “life situation” functionality for large families, the possibility of including air transport in the program for purchasing discounted electronic tickets is also being considered.

At the federal level, “life situations” services for citizens and businesses have been implemented since 2023. There are currently 35 of them available. Since 2024, more than 150 regional “life situations” services have also been operating.

On July 14, the "Dobro" shift of the 11th All-Russian Youth Educational Forum "Territory of Meanings" of the "Rosmolodezh.Forums" platform opened, which this year became part of the national project "Youth and Children".

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko greeted the participants and presented them with the “For Good Deeds” badge and the “Volunteer of Russia” badge.

"As our President Vladimir Putin said, compassion and volunteerism have always been inherent in our country. One of the milestones that we need to remember is the preparation of the volunteer corps for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Sochi. This event was held at the highest level largely due to the fact that our country demonstrated the face of a new, modern, young, energetic, friendly Russia precisely through volunteers, through their work," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

At that time, 25 thousand volunteers were trained, the competition was higher than in the most prestigious universities – more than 10 people per place. Dmitry Chernyshenko recalled that Vladimir Putin personally presented diplomas to the winners of the volunteer competition.

The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that in Russia one can realize one’s potential and talents in a wide variety of areas.

"The President has instructed us to provide all possible, necessary support within the framework of the national project "Youth and Children" so that you can implement this in the most effective way. But of course, you yourselves are the most powerful driving force of volunteerism in our country," he added.

Key measures in this area are collected in the federal project "We are together". Among them are 12 events, including support for the association "Dobro.rf" and the project

Dmitry Chernyshenko reported that there are already 88 regional centers for the development of volunteerism, more than 1,000 “Dobro.Centers” and 3,500 headquarters in Russia.

"We understand that this is in fact only the beginning of a long journey, given the task that the President set for us: almost half of all young people should be involved in volunteer and social activities. I am sure that in order to improve the platform, it will be necessary to expand its functionality. The Government gave such an order, but I see that you yourself, with your actions, suggest what these events should be," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

Dmitry Chernyshenko thanked the volunteers and listed a number of key tasks facing them. Firstly, this is support for participants in the special military operation, their families and assistance to residents of border areas. Volunteers have already fulfilled more than 650 thousand requests, and more than 600 humanitarian missions have been carried out in Donbass and border areas. Secondly, the elimination of the consequences of the emergency in Anapa. In Krasnodar Krai alone, volunteers have collected and removed about 150 thousand tons of contaminated sand and soil, and saved 7.5 thousand birds. Thirdly, volunteers have provided invaluable assistance in the fight against fires in Zabaikalsky Krai.

In conclusion, the Deputy Prime Minister instructed Rosmolodezh, together with the forum participants, to work out ways to reward feats with event-related ties.

At the opening ceremony of the shift, the Deputy Prime Minister presented the “For Good Deeds” badge and the “Volunteer of Russia” badge.

The "For Beneficence" badge of distinction was established by the decree of the President. It was awarded for systematic work in the social sphere. It was received by the winners of the International Prize

The procedure for rewarding and awarding the "Volunteer of Russia" badge was approved by the Government Resolution. The first to receive the award at the opening of the "Dobro.Conference" were nine volunteers from different regions of Russia. Among them were Olga Ponomareva from the Volgograd Region, Kristina Paraskan from the Zaporozhye Region, Valentina Shustova from the Kirov Region, Zayana Abdulova from the Republic of Kalmykia, Eduard Gaitov from the Chelyabinsk Region, Vera Tukhvatullina from the Tyumen Region, Elmira Anokhina from the Astrakhan Region, Elena Gavrilenko from the Krasnoyarsk Region, Natalia Rastegaeva from the Tambov Region.

"The new award "Volunteer of Russia" is a symbol of recognition and respect for a significant contribution to volunteer activities and a way to thank volunteers for the good deeds that they do without even thinking, at the call of their hearts. It is symbolic that volunteers received their first badges at our flagship forum "Territory of Meanings", where the traditional "Dobro.Conference" is taking place, bringing together more than 600 people," said Grigory Gurov, head of Rosmolodezh.

The Dobro shift united people who actively participate in volunteer activities, create social projects, work in NGOs and develop volunteerism in Russia. The shift’s architect is the Dobro.RF social development ecosystem.

"By 2030, every second young person will participate in public and volunteer initiatives. To do this, we will design a set of solutions that will unlock the potential of those willing to take part in social projects. Participants will work on creating an exchange of needs for volunteer and charitable assistance in Russia, a standard for attracting volunteers to eliminate emergencies, a program for the social mission of universities, and support measures for NGOs. We will support and scale up best practices – from preventing homelessness to supporting families in new regions," said Artem Metelev, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Youth Policy and Head of Dobro.RF.

In total, five shifts are planned for the Territory of Meanings forum this year: Family, Good, Creation, Unity, and Service. The forum is being implemented as part of the national project Youth and Children. It is being held in the Senezh Management Workshop, the educational center of the presidential platform Russia – Country of Opportunities in Solnechnogorsk for the seventh time.

At the Ministry of Transport, Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev introduced Minister of Transport Andrey Nikitin to the staff of the Ministry of Transport and the country's transport complex. Andrey Nikitin appointed Minister of Transport By Decree of the President of Russia dated July 8, 2025 No. 460.

The presentation was attended by deputy ministers and heads of organizations subordinate to the Ministry of Transport, representatives of the Federation Council, the State Duma and the professional transport community, and heads of major transport companies.

Vitaly Savelyev emphasized that the new head of the department has extensive professional experience: he headed the Agency for Strategic Initiatives and was the governor of the Novgorod Region.

"This experience will certainly be useful in the Ministry of Transport, will help to seriously strengthen the Ministry's position and effectively solve the problems that the industry faces today. One of the key tasks is the implementation of the national project "Efficient Transport System", which includes nine federal projects, including the construction of a high-speed highway approved by the President of Russia. Other large-scale tasks include the development of the Great Northern Sea Route, the construction of the third stage of the Eastern Polygon of Railways, the creation of modern and high-quality airfield and airport infrastructure," said Vitaly Savelyev.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted such qualities of the Ministry of Transport team as cohesion and readiness to solve assigned tasks at the highest level.

Andrey Nikitin spoke about the priority areas of development of the industry. "I am ready to work in a single team to achieve together the high results set by the President and the Prime Minister," he said.

According to the Minister, solving these problems is impossible without the support of colleagues from the State Duma and the Federation Council – in terms of legislative solutions and the creation of a legal framework for new technologies, high-speed systems, unmanned transport and many other innovations.

The emphasis will be on the digitalization of the industry. "We are doing this to ensure multimodality, maximum comfort and convenience for our passengers. The Ministry of Transport will be one of the leaders in this process," the minister said.

Other important areas requiring increased attention are increasing the capacity of border crossings, transport security, and the development of scientific and human resources potential.

Since March 1, 2025, a law has been in force in Russia regulating the use of escrow accounts in the sphere of individual housing construction (IHC). This mechanism ensures the protection of citizens' funds from unscrupulous contractors and increases the reliability of transactions in the construction of private houses. Thus, to date, the number of private houses in the construction of which this mechanism was used has exceeded 16 thousand. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"We see a significant increase in citizens' interest in individual housing construction. Our task is to create conditions for people to realize their desire to live in their own home. An important component in this matter is to guarantee the security of transactions. On March 1, 2025, a law came into force providing for the use of an escrow account mechanism for individual housing construction, which has already proven itself in the construction of apartment buildings. If in the spring, about 5 thousand individual residential buildings were built using escrow, today more than 16 thousand private houses in the country are being built using this secure financial mechanism," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister recalled that escrow accounts guarantee the protection of equity holders' funds at all stages of construction. Buyers are assured that their money will be transferred to the contractor only after construction is completed. This means that in the event of a missed deadline or other violations, citizens will be able to return their investments.

The number of construction companies ready to work with escrow in the construction of private homes is also growing. According to the state company DOM.RF, the number of such contractors has grown more than 2.5 times – from 1.8 thousand on March 1 to 4.7 thousand companies at the current moment.
