Marat Khusnullin: Russia built its first infrastructure facility using a subsidy for integrated territorial development.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Implementation of integrated territorial development projects (ITD) continues in Russian regions. This tool allows for the renovation of residential areas and the creation of essential social, transport, and utility infrastructure, announced Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"Russian regions tasked with improving the living environment under the national project 'Infrastructure for Living' have the opportunity to use the integrated territorial development mechanism for these purposes, among other things. More and more regions are joining this effort. Currently, approximately 1,200 ITR projects, covering an area of almost 24,300 hectares, are in the active implementation phase. Their urban development potential amounts to almost 185 million square meters of real estate, including 138.7 million square meters of housing. Considering the effectiveness of this instrument, at the instruction of the President, the Government is providing targeted support to a number of regions, providing direct subsidies for infrastructure construction within the framework of integrated territorial development projects. And there are already some results: the first facility in Russia has been commissioned under this program. Thanks to a subsidy allocated to the Kirov Region, the construction of a four-lane road in Kirov has been completed. Moreover, the section of the street was paved ahead of schedule – in four months instead of the planned nine. Overall, this ITR project includes the construction of over 131,000 square meters of housing, as well as “construction of a school and a kindergarten,” said Marat Khusnullin.

The new road runs along Anzheliya Mikheeva Street from Sloboda Urvantsevo to Kapitana Pletnyova Street in Kirov's Leninsky District. Its commissioning has improved accessibility to new areas of the city.

"Construction of this section of the street was carried out as part of the national project 'Infrastructure for Life.' The new road meets all modern requirements for comfort and safety for all road users: sidewalks and modern bicycle and pedestrian paths have been installed on both sides of the road, two public transport stops have been installed, and a traffic light has been installed at the intersection of Anzheliya Mikheeva and Kapitana Pletnyova Streets," noted First Deputy Minister of Construction, Housing and Utilities Alexander Lomakin.

The list of 37 regions that are planned to receive 120 billion rubles in 2025–2030 for the implementation of KRT projects includes Sevastopol, Bryansk, Ivanovo, Kirov, Kostroma, Kurgan, Oryol, Penza, Pskov, Tambov, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, the republics of Adygea, Altai, Buryatia, Dagestan, Ingushetia, Kalmykia, Crimea, Mari El, Mordovia, Sakha (Yakutia), North Ossetia-Alania, Tuva, Khakassia, Kabardino-Balkarian, Karachay-Cherkess, Chechen, Chuvash republics, Altai, Transbaikal, Kamchatka, Stavropol territories, the Jewish Autonomous Region, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, and the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics.

The assistance is intended for entities with individual socio-economic development programs, as well as for regions with low budgetary capacity.

Financing is provided if, within the framework of the KRT projects, along with the construction of residential buildings, the construction or reconstruction of social, transport or public utility infrastructure facilities is envisaged.

Teachers from all over the country gathered at the State University of Management

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On November 18, the State University of Management hosted the All-Russian Forum of Higher Education Teachers, "Academic Community 2025," for the second consecutive year. It brought together more than 700 higher education educators and experts from across the country.

The meeting focused on key issues related to the development of human resources in higher education in the context of the system's transformation and the implementation of the national projects "Youth and Children" and "Personnel."

The forum's plenary session opened with a video message from Olga Petrova, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation: "It's no coincidence that the forum is being held on the eve of Higher Education Teachers' Day. I want to thank each of you for being Teachers with a capital T, who not only impart knowledge to students but also inspire them by example and set a model for active citizenship. I wish for all of us to continue to work together to create and develop a sustainable foundation for the prosperity of our country."

Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, delivered a welcoming speech, emphasizing the importance of the event and the opportunities it offers.

"This is our second year hosting the forum. And it's entirely logical: we're a fairly mature university, tracing our roots back to the Alexandrovsky Commercial School and have been training managers for various industries, businesses, government agencies, and more for over a century. Over the years, we've had a huge number of faculty members. I've been in this field my whole life, and I've always been surprised that we don't have our own professional holiday. But for five years now, this day has been around, gaining weight and tradition. Today is an important day when we can discuss issues and present a resolution so that leaders understand the challenges and solutions," concluded Vladimir Vitalyevich.

Elena Lyapuntsova, Chair of the International Public Organization "League of Higher Education Teachers" (League), spoke about the specifics of this year's forum.

"This year, we're using various event formats at all our venues to comprehensively discuss existing challenges and the opportunities we want to address. Today, after the plenary session, we won't be dispersing to our individual classrooms, but will instead continue working in small groups in a single space where everyone can make their proposals. Based on the results of today's meeting, we'll develop a resolution, which we'll later submit to the relevant ministry," Elena Vyacheslavovna reminded.

Also speaking at the plenary session were Azamat Tlisov, member of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation; Irina Danilchenko, head of the department for interaction with educational organizations of higher education at the Russian Society "Knowledge"; Larisa Sivolap, rector of the A.I. Kuindzhi Mariupol State University; and Elena Okunkova, rector of the Nizhny Novgorod Institute for Education Development.

Following the plenary session, participants continued their work through strategic sessions and roundtables, participated in the All-Russian scientific and practical conference "Managing the Development of Higher Education Human Resources," and attended open legal consultations, master classes on media literacy, and the use of AI in creating educational content.

The first day of the forum concluded with a festive concert featuring over a hundred performers. The event was organized by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation jointly with the All-Russian Public Organization for the Promotion of Higher Education "League of Higher Education Teachers" and the State University of Management.

The electronic seal system is open to devices of all operators.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: KMZ Cargo – KMZ CARGO –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Digital Platform Development Center confirmed its work on device aggregation to ensure carriers are not dependent on a single vendor, and integration with the GIS will allow documents to be uploaded directly to the seal.

The electronic navigation seal system will be integrated with the GIS EPD, giving carriers the freedom to choose devices from different operators. These plans were confirmed by Artem Popov, CEO of the Digital Platform Development Center, speaking at the Transport Week 2025 forum.

Popov detailed the technical details of the system's upcoming development. Integration with the GIS EPD is a mandatory component that will open up new opportunities for control and document management. "Electronic documents will be loaded directly into the seal, allowing regulatory authorities to read them en route," he explained. This means inspectors will be able to access accompanying documents during the journey, without waiting for the vehicle to arrive at its destination or for inspection, which will speed up procedures and increase transparency, Artem Popov believes.

At the same time, work is underway to ensure the system's compatibility with devices from different manufacturers. "Our goal is to give carriers choice. To achieve this, we connect devices from different operators to the system," Popov stated. This approach is aimed at creating a competitive environment and giving logistics companies flexibility in choosing technological solutions that suit their operational processes.

Both of these areas—integration with government systems and openness to equipment from different vendors—are the foundation for a larger goal. As the CEO noted, this is a step toward creating a unified digital ecosystem. Ultimately, this will allow for "the entire mix of transport solutions available to carriers to be brought together in a single window," where the necessary service can be obtained quickly and without accessing multiple systems.

This technical development is taking place against the backdrop of the expanding use of electronic seals. As Artyom Popov noted, starting February 11, 2026, their use will become mandatory for the customs transit of tobacco products, light industry goods, electronics, and alcohol throughout the Eurasian Economic Union. The Russian side, whose authorized operator is the Digital Platform Development Center, has declared full readiness for the launch. Currently, approximately 11,000 carriers and 10,000 regulatory agency employees are connected to the system.

Since 2020, this technology has already been used to monitor approximately 165,000 shipments, and its effectiveness in reducing infrastructure congestion is demonstrated by the example of the port of Novorossiysk, where the procedure for leaving the port after sealing takes approximately 10 minutes.

As a reminder, in September 2025, the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission approved the procedure for implementing a shipment tracking system using navigation seals. The new rules will take effect on February 1, 2026. LR
