Denis Manturov addressed participants of the educational program "Fundamentals of Russian Statehood."
First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov addressed participants of the educational program "Fundamentals of Russian Statehood," the final day of which was held at the National Center "Russia" with the support of the People's Front. The program aims to improve the effectiveness of public and political work in the corporate sector in preparation for the 2026 election campaign.
The total number of participants was over 1,500 people from 88 regions of the Russian Federation, including the capital region, industrial centers, and newly established regions. Forty-seven of Russia's largest companies from key economic sectors participated in the corporate training program, including Transneft, Gazprom, Rostec, Rosseti, and Russian Railways.
The event took place in the format of a plenary discussion, during which representatives of the highest government bodies and the expert community spoke.
"The United Russia party collects all citizens' requests and translates them into concrete solutions. All of this is reflected in its key election document, the People's Program. During the pandemic, the party provided volunteer assistance, helped deliver groceries, and cared for the elderly. It was then that the very instrument of volunteerism, which today, in essence, holds our country together, was formed. From the first days of the People's Military Service, the party launched its humanitarian mission, uniting those willing to help the front and ensuring the creation of a unified system of social support for soldiers and their families. Since 2022, 154 special laws dedicated to participants in the People's Military Service have been adopted. This is an exceptionally important, I would even say, unprecedented event in our country. The implementation of the current People's Program is almost complete. For United Russia, the most important part of the election campaign will be a detailed report on the implementation of the People's Program, on how the party has implemented the national priorities that “The President of the country has defined how life is changing in all our cities and villages,” said Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council and Chairman of the United Russia party.
Denis Manturov outlined the areas that underlie the course toward technological leadership.
"First and foremost, we're talking about machine tool manufacturing, the technological status of which determines the potential of the manufacturing industry. Since 2022, our companies have nearly tripled their machine tool production and mastered the production of high-end machining centers. Currently, the Russian industrial product registry includes over 1,150 types of machine tools. Their use allows for the regular renewal of companies' fixed assets. Domestic industrial robots are also crucial here. Eleven Russian companies currently produce them, and have launched the same number of models on the market. Another dozen prototypes are in the final stages of testing," the First Deputy Prime Minister noted.
Other areas include the development of chemistry and biotechnology, microelectronics and electronic engineering, and space services. Particular attention must be paid to training highly qualified personnel, bridging the gap between fundamental and applied science, and ensuring balanced industrial development in all regions.
"The Russian economy has much to be proud of in its platform solutions. Our digital trading companies are among the top ten largest marketplaces in the world, and these platforms are expanding beyond our borders, expanding to Africa and Asia. Thanks to their activities, new countries are becoming part of the Russian platform ecosystem. Yandex is already global, operating in 35 countries. There, it competes with market giants, offering modern, competitive Russian solutions. Russia is one of only three countries, along with the US and China, that enjoys complete sovereignty over internet, social media, and messaging solutions. But our country is distinguished by its willingness to share its solutions in a partnership format," emphasized Maxim Oreshkin, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office.
"Over the past decade, we have succeeded in creating a sustainable system—a community of electoral commissions, a unique public-sector institution. Our commissions represent a cross-section of society, representing various political parties. The electoral system is robust, yet dynamic and creative, despite the unprecedented challenges we have faced," noted Ella Pamfilova, Chairperson of the Central Electoral Commission.
"More than 1,500 people, at the initiative of the Popular Front, completed training at the Presidential Academy under the 'Fundamentals of Russian Statehood' program. The participants demonstrated a high level of preparation in the final exam and articulated a wide range of questions for today's discussion. One of the most frequently raised topics was external restrictions and sanctions pressure, which have enabled domestic industry to not only significantly increase production for the defense industry but also maintain growth momentum in civilian sectors," said Alexey Komissarov, co-chair of the Popular Front's central headquarters and rector of the Presidential Academy.
During the plenary session, Rostec State Corporation CEO Sergey Chemezov noted the value of such meetings for business, adding that this is precisely why Rostec promptly responded to the initiative of the Popular Front and the Presidential Academy. According to him, 250 people from 18 holdings and organizations of the corporation completed the educational program.
