More than 1.1 million people have already participated in the online vote for symbols for the 500-ruble banknote dedicated to the North Caucasus Federal District.

The leading Pyatigorsk landmarks chosen for the banknote's front side include the Academic (Elizabeth) Gallery, a sculpture of an eagle tearing a snake, Mount Beshtau, and the Lermontov Gallery. Among the symbols of the North Caucasus Federal District's regions chosen for the back side, Mount Elbrus, Grozny City, and the Derbent Fortress received the most votes.

"We're not choosing a single main symbol," explains Sergey Belov, Deputy Chairman of the Bank of Russia. "It's important for us to understand people's favorite places and monuments in the North Caucasus Federal District, what they associate with this land, so we can use these symbols in the banknote design. The vote winners could either be the centerpiece or a secondary decoration."

The Bank of Russia will announce the final results on October 14 at 12:00 Moscow time.

Investor investment is essential for the development of the infrastructure and economy of Donbas and Novorossiya. They are building new homes, thereby transforming the appearance of cities, and relaunching businesses, reviving their industrial potential. Many of them take advantage of the benefits and preferences offered by the free economic zone (FEZ). For example, the electric grid company, designated this year by the government as the single system-forming territorial grid organization in the reunified regions, has become a participant in the SEZ, announced Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"The reliability of the power systems in Donbas and Novorossiya directly impacts the quality of life for the population. Modernizing the power grid infrastructure allows us to improve the energy efficiency of facilities, ensure a stable supply of light and heat to homes, public facilities, and businesses, and, consequently, their stable operation. The new participant in the free economic zone will invest over 7.5 billion rubles in the development of the power industry in the DPR, LPR, and Zaporizhzhia Oblast. At the same time, the project will create jobs for over 9,000 people, including approximately 550 new ones," the Deputy Prime Minister explained.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that the Ministry of Construction has been designated as the authorized body for regulating the free economic zone, and the functions of the management company have been assigned to the Territorial Development Fund, which has since attracted over 400 investors to develop Russia's historical regions, with a stated investment volume exceeding 300 billion rubles.

"When reviewing the organization's application for participation in the SEZ, not only the project's economic feasibility and effectiveness were considered, but also its social component. The stated plans for the reconstruction and modernization of transformer substations and power lines, as well as the acquisition of modern equipment and technology for the electric grid, should significantly improve the quality of services provided by 2029," noted FRT General Director Vasily Kupyzin.

The Republic of Buryatia pavilion at the "Street of the Far East" exhibition

At a meeting of the Far Eastern Federal District Council held in Yakutsk under the chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev, the Far Eastern regions that presented their best exhibits at the "Far East Street" exhibition in September of this year, part of the 10th anniversary Eastern Economic Forum. The EEF was organized by the Roscongress Foundation.

"This year, more than 8,000 people from 75 countries participated in the tenth anniversary Eastern Economic Forum. This is a record number. The leadership of domestic and international companies is interested in the development of the Russian Far East. This interest is driven by our joint work to fulfill the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation. The "Far East Street" exhibition has become a traditional part of the EEF. The level of preparation for all exhibits has improved significantly this year. The Republic of Buryatia's exhibit was recognized as the best pavilion. I would like to thank the head of the region, Alexey Sambuevich Tsydenov. A great deal of work has been accomplished. He said he has exhausted the ability to consistently outperform other regions and is asking for the bar to be raised. We'll consult with him and perhaps we will. The "Far East Street" exhibition has become an independent and important element of the forum. We've learned to communicate in an engaging way the things our regions are proud of—the construction of enterprises, cultural features, and tourist appeal. I thank all the regional heads for this work," said Yuri Trutnev.

Five more regions received awards. Kamchatka, Khabarovsk Krai, and Primorye pavilions won the "High Technologies" category. Yakutia and Chukotka were named the best Far Eastern regions in the "Best Cultural Program" category. The day before, Yuri Trutnev awarded the "Voin" Center for the Development of Military-Sports Training and Patriotic Education of Youth, which won the "Best Industry Pavilion" category.

The "Far East Street" exhibition opened as part of the tenth anniversary Eastern Economic Forum from September 3 to 9 this year. The exhibition was organized by the Roscongress Foundation with the support of the Office of the Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District.

The exhibition featured exhibits dedicated to the key achievements, investment potential, and cultural characteristics of 11 regions of the Far East. In particular, visitors learned about the development of border agglomerations, tourist destinations, master plans for Far Eastern cities, the work of industrial enterprises, and much more.

The opening of "Far East Street" included a ceremonial procession with a large 150-meter St. George ribbon along the FEFU embankment to the exhibition's main stage. During the ceremony, the honor guard of the S.O. Makarov Pacific Higher Naval School carried the Russian Federation flag and the Victory Banner onto the stage, accompanied by the Nevelskoy Moscow State University Variety Orchestra.

One of the main themes this year was the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Each region integrated elements related to the Victory anniversary into its program.

Also open to visitors were the exhibition's exhibits by the Russian Ministry of Sport, a joint pavilion by the Ministry for the Development of the Far East and Arctic and the Far East and Arctic Development Corporation "Developing the Far," and two large stands by the Voin Center. Primorsky Krai also hosted a separate Fish Market.

Additionally, the exhibition grounds featured a "Falcon House," where forum guests and participants could learn more about falcons: their habitats, behavioral characteristics, threats to their populations, and government conservation measures. A separate exhibit, "Arab Village," was also held at the exhibition, timed to coincide with the third international forum, "Falcon Day."

The 10th Eastern Economic Forum was held from September 3–6 on the campus of the Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok.
