Dear Margarita Simonovna,

Please accept my deepest condolences, words of sympathy, and support on the untimely passing of your husband, Tigran Keosayan. This is a terrible loss for his family, who have lost a son, husband, and father, for his colleagues, and for everyone who loved his kind films and engaging programs.

He will be remembered not only as an outstanding actor, director and screenwriter, but also as a representative of a remarkable creative dynasty.

Courage, strength, and endurance to you to survive these difficult days.

Financial News: Chukotka's public bond placement on Finuslugi will begin on September 30.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Moscow Exchange – Moscow Exchange –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On September 30, 2025, the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug's public bond offering, totaling 140 million rubles, will begin on the Finuslugi marketplace. Applications will be accepted for the bonds at 12:00 AM Moscow time and 9:00 AM Anadyr time on September 30. This offering will be the second of four planned by the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD) and the Arctic regions by the end of this year.

The funds raised will be used to support municipalities in implementing participatory budgeting projects, including master plan projects for the improvement of courtyard areas.

The bonds will have a one-year maturity. The par value of each bond is 1,000 rubles. Coupon income will be 17.5% per annum throughout the entire maturity period, with coupons paid quarterly.

Investors will be able to tender bonds for redemption beginning April 1, 2026. The execution of a sell order will take five to six business days from the time of submission. Accrued coupon income will be calculated until the order is executed, meaning the investor will not lose interest while the sell order is being executed.

Igor Alutin, Senior Managing Director for Retail Business and the Finuslugi Marketplace at Moscow Exchange:

"The launch of the Far Eastern Federal District's public bonds on Finuslugi marks a new stage in the development of social investment on the marketplace. We are pleased to offer our citizens the opportunity not only to earn a steady income and grow their savings, but also to participate in improving the quality of life of our country's residents by becoming co-investors in regional master plan projects."

Alesya Kalinova, First Deputy Governor, Head of the Department of Finance and Property Relations of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug:

"The participatory budgeting mechanism has been actively used in the district since 2019 and allows citizens to participate in determining priority budget expenditures. People's bonds allow citizens to contribute to the development of their region by funding important municipal initiatives and receive guaranteed interest income with the flexibility to manage their funds without losing interest when withdrawing."

Elvira Nurgalieva, Deputy Minister of the Russian Federation for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic:

"The issuance of Chukotka's people's bonds is an important step in developing social investment in the macro-region. Moreover, the people's bond mechanism functions not only as a financial instrument but also as a form of participatory budgeting, where citizens become real participants in the transformation. This approach makes government programs truly people-centered and fosters a culture of responsible investment in the Far East and the Arctic."

An agreement providing for the issuance of national bonds by subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District and the Arctic was signed between the Moscow Exchange and the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF 2025). In addition to the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug and Amur Oblast, whose bond placement began on September 23, Magadan Oblast and the city of Yakutsk are also considering issuing national bonds on Finuslugi in 2025.

People's bonds became available for purchase on Finuslugi in 2021. A unique feature of these bonds is that they are only available to individuals—they are not traded on the stock exchange and have no secondary market. Purchasing people's bonds on Finuslugi does not require a brokerage account: all transactions are conducted directly between the individual and the issuer. Simply register in your personal account or the Finuslugi mobile app using the Gosuslugi service.

Dmitry Chernyshenko held a working meeting with the head of the Republic of Kalmykia, Batu Khasikov.

In Elista, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko held a working meeting with Batu Khasikov, Head of the Republic of Kalmykia. They discussed the development of tourism, science, education, youth policy, and sports in the region.

The Deputy Prime Minister thanked Batu Khasikov for hosting the III International Buddhist Forum, congratulated the head and residents of the republic on the 105th anniversary of its founding, and conveyed congratulations from Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

"Our President has set a goal: to increase tourist flow to 140 million people per year by 2030. Kalmykia is making a significant contribution to this goal through its participation in the national project 'Tourism and Hospitality.' According to regional data, this year's tourist numbers have already increased by approximately 80%. I ask you to maintain this momentum, because the incredible nature and fascinating historical sites deserve to be visited by as many tourists as possible. I am pleased that you are effectively using government support tools," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

As part of the national project "Tourism and Hospitality," the program supporting the construction of modular hotels continues. For example, the Marco Polo hotel complex in Elista has completed projects to build the three-star, 50-bed Marco Polo Garden modular hotel and the 25-bed Ecopark glamping site.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, business representatives note the rapid return on investment for modular hotels and their popularity among tourists.

On the topic of sports, Dmitry Chernyshenko reported that a government commission is preparing a rating to assess the effectiveness of regions in sports.

"Kalmykia has always demonstrated excellence in this area. By the end of 2024, your citizen participation rate in regular sports was 58%," he added.

The Deputy Prime Minister expressed special gratitude for the work of the phygital center.

"Following President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin's instructions, we are implementing the national project 'Youth and Children' starting this year. The head of state has set a national goal: realizing the potential of every individual, developing their talents, and raising patriotic citizens. One of the key objectives is creating educational infrastructure. More than 3,000 new places have been created in schools and kindergartens in the republic, and 57 schools have been renovated. More than 16,000 students are currently studying at colleges and universities in the region. Gorodovikov Kalmyk State University is part of the 'Priority 2030' program," emphasized Dmitry Chernyshenko.

He instructed the region to focus on engaging educational institutions in more actively implementing federal measures, including the "Professionalism" federal project.

The Deputy Prime Minister and the head of Kalmykia also discussed the development of the scientific sphere in the region.

"Youth laboratories are active—three projects are launching this year. They are receiving support from the Russian Science Foundation. It's gratifying that you personally support talented researchers. They receive the annual award from the Head of the Republic of Kalmykia," said the Deputy Prime Minister.

Dmitry Chernyshenko also emphasized that, thanks to victories in the "Region for the Young" competition, the region received approximately 300 million rubles for the renovation and equipping of youth spaces.

Volunteerism is growing in the republic: approximately 13,000 young people are already involved. For example, volunteers regularly send humanitarian aid to soldiers in the special military operation zone.

"The event we are holding today at the behest of President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin—the 3rd International Buddhist Forum—allows us to make our modest contribution to strengthening Russia's international standing. We are also fulfilling the President's directive to promote Buddhist education, integrating it with secular education. Yes, much work remains to be done in this area, but with the support of federal agencies, I believe we will accomplish this gradually, step by step. And everything is based, of course, on friendship and unity. In this way, we are telling the world that Russia is a great, friendly country, open to cooperation and ready to meet all challenges," said Batu Khasikov.

With this information, an investor can make more informed decisions when purchasing this type of digital financial asset.

The document also expands the list of information required in the decision to issue any digital financial assets. The issuer's information must include a link to the website where the issuer discloses the information. If the issuer has a credit rating, a link to the website of the credit rating agency that assigned it must be included.

The public discussion of the draft Directive will last until October 10, 2025, inclusive.

International Day for the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons: "Humanity is on the brink of extinction"

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: United Nations – United Nations –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

September 26, 2025 Peace and security

There are currently enough nuclear weapons on the planet to destroy humanity many times over. This was stated by 81-year-old Satoshi Tanaka, a member of the Executive Council of the Japan Confederation of Atomic Bomb and Hydrogen Bomb Victims' Organizations, at UN Headquarters. Satoshi is a hibakusha, the Japanese word for victims of the nuclear bombings of Hirashima and Nagasaki.

He recalled that in the 80 years since the tragedy, humanity has only increased its nuclear potential. The number of countries possessing nuclear weapons has almost reached double digits.

"The nuclear arms race continues. Humanity stands on the brink of extinction," Satoshi said.

"Young people often worry that we hibakusha might not be around in ten years. I always respond, 'Before you worry about how long we have left, consider how short your own life might be,'" he added.

Satoshi spoke at an event held on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly to commemorate the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons, which is celebrated on September 26.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres, in a statement delivered on his behalf by his Chief of Staff, Earl Courtenay Rattray, said that every day since the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the hibakusha have turned their suffering into a cry for peace.

“And yet, every day we see new and increasingly dangerous weapons,” the UN chief stressed.

In July of this year, the Secretary-General announced the establishment of an independent scientific panel of experts tasked with studying the physical effects and social consequences of nuclear war at the local, regional and global levels.

The UN was created not only for multilateral cooperation, but also as a "defense against our most destructive instincts," said UN General Assembly President Annalena Baerbock.

Every day we see new and increasingly dangerous weapons.

Theoretically, the world recognizes that a nuclear war cannot be started and cannot be won, the diplomat noted.

“However, this has not stopped countries from building ever larger arsenals, and some have even found themselves on the brink of using them on multiple occasions,” Baerbock noted.

She recalled that during the Cold War, false alarms or misinterpreted signals nearly led to disasters, the most famous of which was the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Today, the situation is more complex, and the risk of miscalculation is much higher, Baerbock emphasized. "What if terrorists acquire these weapons? What if artificial intelligence accelerates decision-making, leaving no room for human oversight?"

“Security is not based on ever-growing arsenals, but on disarmament, non-proliferation and – one day – the abolition of nuclear weapons,” the General Assembly President said.
