You can support the funds' furry wards using the charity service at mos.ru. animal assistance programs Thirteen verified organizations that have been rescuing cats and dogs for many years are featured. With donations from city residents, they purchase food, pay for consultations with specialists and surgeries at veterinary clinics, provide adaptation and rehoming services, build enclosures, and much more.

"The work of Moscow NGOs gives thousands of cats and dogs a warm home and faith in people. Every rescued animal is a unique story of hope. Thanks to the support of caring people, the fates of thousands of four-legged shelter residents are changed every year—they receive a second chance at a happy life, treatment, and love," she noted.

Ekaterina Dragunova, Chairman of the capital's Committee for Public Relations and Youth Policy.

From the street to the family

Under the care of a charitable foundation Nika Marusya, a dog, spent five years in a shelter after a car accident. At the Wet Nose Center, she underwent surgery to remove a tumor, and was recently adopted by a loving family, given love and a long-awaited home.

Nika has been helping homeless dogs and cats for over 14 years. The foundation rescues animals from the streets, sterilizes them, vaccinates them against dangerous diseases, and treats them for injuries and infections. Nika has two shelters with 800 beds and a veterinary clinic. There, pets are examined, treated, and prepared for life with families.

Since October 2020, the foundation has helped sterilize over 10,000 homeless animals, treat approximately 3,600, and find new homes for 2,400.

Volunteers from the Nika Foundation find new homes for dogs and cats at Woof festivals. The foundation has been holding these events since 2016. Volunteers bring hundreds of animals from various Moscow shelters. In addition to the exhibition, the festival features photo zones, workshops, quizzes, prize draws, and a charity market. A portion of the proceeds from purchases goes to shelters.

A chance for a long life

One of the foundation's touching stories Dogs Who Love— the fate of Ryzhulya, a mongrel dog who lived her entire life in a shelter. In the spring, she began feeling unwell, short of breath. Volunteers took her to a veterinary clinic for a checkup. An X-ray revealed a lung tumor. Ryzhulya underwent surgery and was prescribed further treatment. Thanks to the support of caring people, the foundation was able to cover the oncologist's appointments, chemotherapy, and follow-up X-rays for the dog. She has completed her chemotherapy course, and is now recovering at the shelter. Ryzhulya, wagging her tail, joyfully greets her guardians. The next goal is to help this furry companion find a home.

Fund Dogs Who Love Since 2017, it has been helping not only homeless dogs but also cats. The organization doesn't have its own shelter, but it regularly supports municipal and private shelters. The foundation helps purchase food, provides necessary veterinary care, and finds new homes for the animals.

Specialists and volunteers regularly visit shelters, walk their charges, and help socialize the animals so they adapt more quickly to life in families. The foundation also organizes educational projects, vibrant festivals, and kindness lessons for children to raise awareness of the problems of homeless animals and promote caring for them.

He recently found a home, friends, and loving owners—Elena and Andrey. Boriska quickly adjusted to his new family and brings them positive emotions every day.

The chances of finding a family for dogs and cats that end up in a shelter at an older age are decreasing every year. Helping homeless mongrel animals specializes in supporting senior four-legged friends, helping them find caring families.

The organization has been in existence for over 10 years and currently provides care to over 700 animals. About 600 of them are over seven or eight years old—an advanced age for a four-legged animal.

December is the month of massive online New Year's sales. Many stores, brands, and marketplaces offer big discounts or lucrative loyalty program promotions. The pre-holiday rush and the desire to buy goods and gifts for friends and family at a great price can lead to inattention. Fraudsters take advantage of this: they base their purchases on genuine sellers' offers and use tricks and manipulation to deceive buyers. Project experts Call me back yourself Department of Information Technology of the City of MoscowThey reminded us of cybersecurity rules and explained how to distinguish a good offer from a scam.

"Scammers often use the same techniques in their schemes: they play on emotions, exploit high demand and hype, and send links to phishing sites or fake promo codes. A little vigilance and adherence to simple digital security rules can help protect customers' payment and personal information. To make the shopping experience enjoyable and safe, we've prepared a guide for adults and children when shopping online," said Valentina Shilina, project manager.

Call me back yourself.

These recommendations will be useful when shopping on any platform, as scammers use a variety of online channels to perpetrate their schemes: marketplaces, social media, email newsletters, and fake store websites.

Common scams

Whether it's stealing money, obtaining bank card details, personal data, or access to social media accounts or government services, criminals employ a variety of tricks.

Experts from the "Call Back Yourself" project have identified the most popular schemes:

— viral videos on social media. The videos offer to earn money by clicking a link and participating in promotions on major e-commerce platforms. The tasks can be varied: filling out a form, paying a fee to join a club, or purchasing products. As a result, the user loses access to their personal account on the government services portal or online store website, their money, and even their personal data, which can be used to hack other accounts;

— spam mailings disguised as promotions from well-known brands. They are sent via private messages on social media, instant messaging apps, or by email. The user clicks the link, provides personal and bank card information, and pays for the purchase. As a result, they are left without money and without the product;

— Fake posts about giveaways. Scammers create fake social media accounts and post about winnings, free gifts, opportunities to win valuable prizes, or earn large sums for simple actions. They use fake comments to create excitement. The link ultimately leads to fraudulent websites, where people enter their bank card details and pay for goods they will never receive;

— Order cancellation due to a "technical error." After a buyer places an order on a marketplace or online store, the seller cancels it. Then, they receive a message via private message or email stating that the cancellation was accidental due to a technical issue on the marketplace, but that they can still purchase the desired item at a deep discount via a direct link. In reality, the link leads to a phishing website belonging to a fraudulent seller. This scheme is most often used when ordering expensive items, such as household appliances or smartphones.

— order confirmation by phone. The operator calls and asks for the numbers from the SMS to confirm the order and add the buyer to the store's register, or the courier delivers the gift or order and asks for the code. This is how the scammers obtain a one-time password for the victim's bank account or government services portal.

Signs of fraudulent offers

During sales, scammers exploit emotions and psychological manipulation to lull victims into a false sense of security. For example, they create the illusion of scarcity—shoppers don't want to miss out on a deal and rush to make a purchase—or they exploit the element of surprise: shoppers are overjoyed at a great deal and forget to keep the SMS code confidential. To recognize scams, it's important to be vigilant while shopping online, resist the urge to give in to emotions, and follow simple guidelines.

First, you need to analyze the price. Sales are a period of significant discounts, but prices that are too low are a warning sign. Official stores don't operate at a loss; it's not profitable for them to sell popular and expensive items at reduced prices.

Secondly, you need to check the website. Visit only well-known and reliable sites, and carefully study information about new stores:

— Check the spelling of the website in the input line. Scammers create websites that are duplicates of popular sites with typos, such as extra characters or misspelled words;

— review the contents of the sections: how detailed and high-quality they are, whether there is contact information, whether there are any errors or empty categories;

— evaluate the assortment: stores selling unrelated categories of goods (for example, smartphones and socks) are suspicious;

— search for information about the site on the internet: reviews from other users, entries in the register of legal entities using the specified details.

Safe Payment Rules

A special bank card, which users deposit before placing an order, helps protect their payment details. They can set a daily spending limit on the card at the bank or in the app, protecting you from hacking—they simply won't be able to withdraw large sums.

In addition, the following rules will help you avoid falling for scammers' tricks:

— all ordering steps—choosing payment, delivery, and delivery time—must be completed exclusively on the store or marketplace website. Employees may call back to clarify details and arrange delivery terms;

— the order price is fixed after placement and cannot be changed;

— You should not transfer money to personal cards or e-wallets at the request of sellers in instant messengers, even if they offer a large discount for this;

— SMS codes should never be disclosed to third parties;

If the store doesn't offer payment upon receipt or in-store pickup, you should approach your purchase with extra caution.

Another important recommendation is to avoid installing apps from unknown sources or files sent via private messages. All verified apps are available for download from your smartphone's official app store. If an advertisement requires you to install additional software before purchasing, it's highly likely from a scammer. Downloading such software poses a high risk of losing control of your device and having your personal and banking information stolen.

Five rules of cybersecurity: Moscow Department of Information Technologies experts have compiled a guide to protecting against fraud.What to do if you've been scammed: step-by-step instructions from the "Call Back Yourself" project

You can learn more about the methods used by criminals and the tools to combat them from the recording of the webinar of the city online project “Call Back Yourself” about safe shopping on the Internet, as well as from records other seminars.

The project regularly hosts seminars for residents. Experts from relevant agencies and representatives of marketplaces, mobile operators, banks, and other relevant organizations explain how to avoid becoming a victim of fraud and scammers, protect personal data when shopping online, verify the reliability of an online store, recognize warning signs early, and master cybersecurity and digital hygiene skills.

Information online project Call me back yourself was created in 2022 by the Moscow Government in collaboration with the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the city of Moscow. The project's website provides information about upcoming in-person and online events, as well as informational tips and recommendations from experts, recordings of past webinars, and other useful materials. In 2023, "Call Me Back" won the "Best Social Project Website" category of the "Golden Site" competition. It also received the Runet Prize in the "Information Security" category. In 2025, the project received awards from the "Shield and Pen" international competition of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and the 4th All-Russian competition "Regional Information Security Cup."

The creation and support of information security tools, as well as countering cyber fraud, are in line with the objectives of the national project "Data Economy and Digital Transformation of the State" and the Moscow regional project "Digital Public Administration."

With the arrival of the first days of winter, the capital's central streets, boulevards, and squares sparkled with garlands. The project's sites were decorated in a special way. Winter in MoscowManezhnaya Square, the passage to Revolution Square, and Novy Arbat have become part of a fairytale route of 14 iconic locations, where at every stop you can immerse yourself in the atmosphere of New Year, fairy tales, and magic. Even the outline of this festive route through the city center is shaped like a heart.

A wondrous city of Christmas tree decorations has sprung up on Manezhnaya Square. The atmosphere of an ancient holiday comes alive: a gallery with shopping pavilions selling souvenirs and gifts is decorated with vintage postcards and glowing clouds, seemingly made of cotton wool. A cozy winter town with a decorated Christmas tree and miniature houses has sprung up in the center of the square. And among the snow-covered decorations, you can see Christmas tree decorations from bygone eras. The stage where concerts and performances will take place resembles an old arched train station. Nearby, a decorated kalachnaya (a bakery) with an authentic Russian stove has opened, where you can warm up with aromatic tea and sample delicious pastries. And for those with a special wish, you can drop it into a magical letterbox, hoping your dream will come true.

Walking from Manezhnaya Square to Revolution Square, you can easily be transported to the atmosphere of a bustling Moscow fair of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The air here is filled with the spicy aromas of sbiten and fresh pine needles. Here you can stop for a festive express train with its driver or take photos in the theatrical photo zone. The square is decorated with antique toys that were used to decorate Christmas trees in the distant past. These were soft figurines of fairy tale characters and animals, stuffed with cotton wool. The shopping chalets and wrought-iron galleries are framed with pine garlands. All around rises a mysterious forest of spruce, fir, cherry laurel, holly, and yew.

This season, the even-numbered side of Novy Arbat has been transformed into a street of gifts, adorned with velvet bows, ribbons, and green and red decor. Here you'll find arrangements of decorated fir trees, pines, hollies, dogwoods, and junipers, illuminated by garlands. Novy Arbat will also surprise you with hovering vintage cars and decorated fir trees piled high with gifts. Fir needles in red Art Nouveau-style planters delight the eye and add a festive touch to the space.

A magical Christmas gallery has appeared on the odd-numbered side of Novy Arbat (buildings 13-15, 19-21). A tunnel of fan-shaped arches glows with a deep red light. It is decorated with twinkling lights, elegant red and gold slats, and exquisite decor of fresh pine needles and Christmas tree baubles. Luxurious Nordmann firs can also be seen here, surrounded by vibrant art objects such as large gift boxes and a confetti popper.

Under the vaulted tunnel that stretches along the entire street, guests are greeted by winter displays of decorated fir trees in stylish red planters. Every decorative element is meticulously crafted, transforming this space into a veritable gallery of winter wonders.

In the heart of the capital, vintage aesthetics harmoniously blend with the latest technological solutions, and natural materials with contemporary artistic techniques. This year, over 90 percent of the decorative structures installed in the city had previously been used in holiday decorations. They have been refined, improved, and once again bring a festive feeling to residents and tourists. Along with traditional Nordmann firs, spruces, and pines, hollies and pyracanthas are featured in the decorations. A total of more than 10 thousand evergreen trees and shrubs.
