Lixian County, Gansu Province, is a well-known base in China for producing high-quality fruits, especially apples.

Initially, there were only scattered plantings here, but now, at the foot of Mount Dabaozi, along the Xihanshui River and its tributaries, a 60-kilometer-long "apple gallery" has formed. The area of apple orchards throughout the county has reached 610,000 mu (approximately 40,700 hectares), benefiting over 200,000 residents from 14 townships and villages, becoming a key industry for improving local livelihoods.

By 2025, the county's total apple production is expected to exceed 600,000 tons, and the gross value of the entire production chain could reach 5 billion yuan. An apple-based industry chain provides a powerful impetus for rural development.

A new kind of tourism is emerging in China. It attracts people not with centuries-old history or magnificent nature, but with bold fantasies about the future.

Science fiction allows tourism to no longer be limited by physical distance. For example, when tourists arrive at the "Mars Camp" in Lenghu (Qinghai Province), psychologically they arrive not in the Tsaidam Basin, but on the Red Planet—Mars.

The rise of science fiction tourism is closely linked to the preferences of the younger generation. They have their own favorite science fiction stories and enjoy sharing unique experiences on social media.

Recognizing this trend, Beijing's Shougang Park launched the "Science Fiction Exploration" project, and Universal Studios Beijing opened a "Future Waterworld" zone. These projects have already gained popularity among young people.

Dmitry Grigorenko: Krasnoyarsk Krai has joined the project to implement a "Governor's Dashboard."

"We see that the digital governance model is becoming the standard for the regions. This is no longer an experiment, but a working practice. Connecting regions to a single dashboard allows us to build a transparent and effective system for monitoring the implementation of key government projects. Regions are currently actively joining the Governor's Dashboard, including Krasnoyarsk Krai," noted Dmitry Grigorenko.

The Governor's Dashboard allows for online monitoring of budget execution and the implementation of national projects, including the construction of new roads, schools, hospitals, and other socially significant facilities. The system provides up-to-date data on all key areas of the region's work and its interactions with the federal government. This enables prompt response to emerging challenges and, if necessary, prevents potential risks of non-implementation of state projects.

"It's crucial to ensure that digital technologies serve the interests of the people. These same digital technologies should also help build effective state and municipal governance systems. It's crucial for us to have these digital assistants identify potential risks in advance, so that we can tailor the work of the entire management team to prevent these risks from ever occurring," said Mikhail Kotyukov, Governor of the Krasnoyarsk Krai.

Alexander Novak took part in the Youth Day of Russian Energy Week.

Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak took part in the events of the Youth Day of Russian Energy Week.

The Deputy Prime Minister captained the "What? Where? When?" team of experts, which included Kirill Dmitriev, Special Presidential Representative for Investment and Economic Cooperation with Foreign Countries and CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF); Alexandra Panina, Member of the Management Board of PJSC Inter RAO and Chair of the Supervisory Board of the Energy Producers Council Association; Vladimir Rashevsky, Member of the Management Board of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs; Maria Volman, winner of the "Leaders of Russia" competition in the "Science" track; and Anastasia Chegodaeva, winner of the CASE-IN International Engineering Championship.

The team demonstrated a broad outlook, ability to debate and think outside the box, and ultimately achieved a decisive victory.

Following the game, Alexander Novak awarded the winners of industry competitions: the IT Championship of the Oil Industry – a team competition to promote digital skills in industry; the International Engineering Championship CASE-IN of the League of Young Specialists; and the All-Russian Competition of Graduation Theses and Diploma Research "Generation of the Future." Also, for the first time, the REW awarded the best employers in the fuel, energy, and industrial sectors.

"Thank you for participating in Russian Energy Week. I am confident that the future belongs to young people: those who are just starting out in schools and universities, or who are already young professionals. We have a vast country, the world's largest energy system, and the most modern technologies. And you will be the ones to drive the country's energy sector forward," said Alexander Novak.

As part of Youth Day, the Deputy Prime Minister met with members of the "REN.Junior" section—an association of talented young students and specialists ready to contribute to addressing the country's economic and energy challenges. Alexander Novak answered questions about the current state and prospects of the global energy system, the technological development of Russia's fuel and energy sector, and the introduction of alternative energy sources.

"Today, we stand on the threshold of a new approach to energy. An energy transition toward cleaner energy sources is underway, as is the industry's comprehensive digitalization. Management systems are undergoing a qualitative transformation at all stages: from geological exploration to the direct use of resources. All of this allows for increased efficiency across the energy sector. In the future, the Russian energy sector will transform into a unified digital platform, which will enhance its efficiency and elevate it to a whole new level," noted Alexander Novak.

Document

Resolution of October 16, 2025 No. 1610

The government has decided to extend and adjust quotas for the export of mineral fertilizers from Russia. According to the signed decree, they will be in effect from December 1, 2025, through May 31, 2026.

This solution will ensure the smooth operation of agricultural producers, feed manufacturers, and other consumers, ensuring a sufficient supply of fertilizers on the domestic market.

The total volume of export quotas will be almost 18.7 million tons, including more than 10.6 million tons for nitrogen fertilizers and more than 8 million tons for complex fertilizers.

The document also approved the rules for distributing quotas among participants in foreign trade activities.

The quotas will not apply to the supply of fertilizers to Abkhazia and South Ossetia, the export of such products from Russia as part of international transit shipments, or deliveries under international humanitarian aid.

This work is being carried out at the direction of the President. In 2022, following a meeting discussing the development of the agro-industrial, fisheries, and related industries, the head of state instructed the Government to extend, if necessary, export restrictions on certain types of fertilizers.
