Unmanned rail transport will be the first to be developed. The first unmanned tram in Moscow is planned to be launched this fall, and in five years two thirds of trams will be unmanned. About this Sergei Sobyanin said in an interview "Komsomolskaya Pravda".

"I believe that sooner or later all transport will be unmanned. Not in a year or two, but in decades. At the same time, unmanned rail transport will be the first to develop," said Sergei Sobyanin.

The next stage, according to him, will be driverless metro trains.

"Our train frequency is the highest in the world. It is very difficult to maintain these 90 seconds of clock-like movement. But we will solve this. We will start testing the first driverless train at the end of the year," the Moscow Mayor specified.

Unmanned transport undergoes three levels of testing: the first – without passengers, the second – with passengers, but in the presence of a driver who is nearby and provides insurance, and the third – with passengers and without a driver.

In anticipation of Knowledge Day, specialists from the city services complex have installed more than 10,000 duplicate signs “Caution, children!” on the capital’s roads. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Public Utilities and Improvement Petr Biryukov.

"Traditionally, with the beginning of a new school year, the number of children and teenagers on the streets of the city increases, so before September 1, work was carried out to update the road markings near schools, kindergartens, cultural and leisure centers, libraries and sports complexes. This year, over 10 thousand "Caution, children!" signs were applied, which duplicate the "Children" road sign on the roadway," noted Petr Biryukov.

The main purpose of the additional markings is to warn the driver that in this area they need to be prepared for the sudden appearance of a child on the road. This means that they need to slow down and be extremely careful.

The "Caution, Children!" marking is applied manually with cold plastic – it is more durable, does not require preliminary heating and therefore does not deform during work. The material contains special glass beads that enhance the reflection of light. This increases the visibility of the marking and makes traffic on the roads safer.

Road marking work was carried out mainly at night, which required partially blocking traffic.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

In 2025, 56,879 small architectural forms (SAF) will be installed in the capital during improvement works.

Almost 10 thousand pieces of equipment for children of different ages will be installed on children's playgrounds – these are playgrounds, various types of swings, slides, balance beams, sandboxes, climbing frames, as well as other elements for games and development of young Muscovites.

More than three thousand exercise machines for various muscle groups, workout complexes and other equipment will appear on the city’s sports grounds.

"The largest number of small architectural forms is street furniture. Benches of various designs, sun loungers, pergolas and urns are placed both on iconic sites and in courtyards, on the territories of educational institutions and in other public spaces. In total, more than 20 thousand benches and 21 thousand urns will appear there," she said.

Elmira Sultanova, deputy head of the capital's Department of Capital Repairs.

One of the most striking and interesting examples is the improvement of the ecological park "Severnoye Butovo" with a total area of 18.58 hectares. 472 small architectural forms were installed here.

The sports grounds already have 85 pieces of equipment. These are the Ninja sports and gymnastics complex, workout complexes, exercise machines for all muscle groups, including the chest, back, and shoulder muscles. In addition, the grounds have been equipped with canopies so that you can exercise in any weather.

For children of different ages, 28 play complexes, trampolines, play modules for climbing, swings, carousels and balance beams were installed.

The parks now have benches, bins, pergola swings, chess tables, and a dog park with everything needed for four-legged friends. A total of 359 pieces of equipment were installed here.

Among the landscaped courtyards, the site on Tallinskaya Street near house 13, buildings 2, 3 and 4 stands out. Here, an area of 5.37 hectares is being put in order. Workers are currently finishing installing 83 small architectural forms. The courtyard will feature a sports complex, 19 children's play complexes, rocking chairs, climbing frames, swings, carousels, hills, trampolines and play panels, as well as 63 units of street furniture – benches, urns, canopies and bench-swings.

A sports cluster is being set up on Yasnogorskaya Street (building 7). The total area of the landscaped territory is 4.2 hectares. 24 sports equipment will be installed here — workout complexes and exercise machines for different muscle groups. 15 small architectural forms will appear on the playgrounds — these are seesaws, sand yards, swings, carousels and the "Airship" play complex, which has no analogues in the city. 102 pieces of street furniture will also be installed here, including benches, trash bins and chess tables.

A yard with a modern playground, a well-equipped sports area, a park with beautiful and comfortable street furniture is an important part of the local infrastructure. At the same time, each element must be maintained in good condition and repaired in a timely manner.

Elmira Sultanova added that the program's special feature is the contracts with equipment manufacturers, which provide not only for delivery and installation, but also for subsequent seven-year maintenance and repair of small architectural forms. This is a long-term cooperation between the city and manufacturers, in which the contractor is responsible for the quality of its equipment.

In preparation for the transition to the new procurement system, a single catalogue of small architectural forms of manufacturers was created. New products are regularly added to it, including scientific playgrounds and innovative forms.

Since 2022, the city has been using a pricing mechanism based on expertise and has introduced a unified system for managing the purchase of equipment for improvement facilities and monitoring this process. Now it has been possible to completely replace imported products with Russian products without trade markups. This allows saving budget funds.

During this time, 189.2 thousand small architectural forms were installed as part of the improvement of objects of prefectures of administrative districts. This year, it is planned to install 56.8 thousand small architectural forms.

Updated terminals to be installed in Moscow for voting for regional heads

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Voters from several subjects of the Russian Federation will vote for the heads of their regions in Moscow using updated electronic terminals. They will be installed at all 14 extraterritorial polling stations that will operate in the capital from September 12 to 14.

An electronic voting terminal is a mini-computer with which a voter receives an anonymous digital ballot, marks it for the desired candidate, and sends his vote to the system. Each device is protected by a number of technologies and algorithms. All of them help make voting not only convenient and fast, but also completely protected from possible provocations.

For the upcoming elections The capital's specialists have prepared terminals that have become even more functional compared to those used in previous elections in Moscow. Built-in uninterruptible power supplies will ensure stable operation even in the event of voltage surges or power outages.

Before the ballot is displayed on the screen, the device will check the match between the voter's passport data and the electronic voting list. The main pages of the document will need to be scanned on the terminal. The system will recognize the passport data and compare it with the information from the electronic voting list, and will also prompt the user to check the correctness of the address displayed on the screen.

In addition, several signs will be used to verify that the citizen has presented an original document. To confirm identity, the voter will have to sign in a special terminal window. This will make sure that the real owner of the passport is voting.

Another new feature of the devices will help keep the vote secret from other people at the polling station. When you switch to the digital ballot, darkening curtains will automatically turn on on the screen. Thanks to them, no one from the outside will be able to see who exactly the voter is voting for.

If users have any questions about working with the terminal, they can ask members of the election commissions located at the polling stations. At any stage, they will help guests of the capital who have not voted using terminals before.

Voting for residents of a number of regions of the country where elections for governors and heads of republics have been scheduled will be organized in Moscow at the request of the Central Electoral Commission of the Russian Federation. Voters from the Arkhangelsk, Bryansk, Irkutsk, Kaluga, Kostroma, Kursk, Leningrad, Novgorod, Orenburg, Rostov, Sverdlovsk and Tambov regions, the Jewish Autonomous Region, Kamchatka, Krasnodar and Perm regions, the Komi Republic, the Chuvash Republic and Sevastopol will have the opportunity to cast their vote in their regional elections while in the capital. To do this, they must submit a corresponding application to public services portal.

Voters with approved applications for voting at their location will be able to choose the head of their region on September 12, 13 or 14 from 08:00 to 20:00 at any of the 14 polling stations in the capital. You must bring your passport with you. In addition, it is recommended to have a printed part of the application from the public services portal in paper or electronic form.

Sobyanin: Moscow to extend central diameters to capitals of neighboring regions

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Moscow central diameters will be extended from the capital to the centers of neighboring regions. About one of the major transport projects, which are planned to be implemented in the coming years, spoke Sergei Sobyanin in an interview "Komsomolskaya Pravda".

"If we take an interregional project, this is the development of a central transport hub – the extension of our central diameters to the capitals of the regions that surround the Moscow region: Yaroslavl, Tula, Ivanovo, Tver, Smolensk. We are trying to do it with minimal capital costs, but we are building logistics in such a way as to increase the frequency of movement, the comfort of movement, and integrate it into the existing diameters," the Mayor of Moscow said.

He gave an example: it is very difficult to get from Smolensk to Moscow by suburban train today. As a result, people leave for the capital and stay there. If normal timed traffic is established, then it will be possible to travel from a neighboring region to Moscow to work and back. This will reduce the concentration of the population in the metropolis and make the placement of labor resources more comfortable.

Among the largest transport projects of the coming years, Sergei Sobyanin named the construction of the Moscow-Saint Petersburg high-speed railway (HSR).

"This is the first such project in Russia. And I am convinced that it should not be the only one. Railways are undergoing a certain revolution. HSR is the next generation of railways, such as they should be at a new stage of technological development," the Mayor of Moscow emphasized.

Among the most important city transport projects, Sergei Sobyanin named the construction of the metro, as well as the connection of the Solntsevo-Butovo road with the Moscow High-Speed Diameter.

Sobyanin: It is important that new enterprises create jobs for Muscovites

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Moscow is actively moving towards creating new industrial potential. Sergei Sobyanin said this in an interview "Komsomolskaya Pravda".

"Today we have queues of people wanting to work in Moscow. In technology parks alone, we plan to create areas of about 2.5 million square meters within five years. Entire clusters are being created: food, microelectronics, pharmaceuticals, automobile manufacturing, aircraft manufacturing and many others. Moscow is regaining the flag of a leading city in high technology in our country," the Moscow Mayor emphasized.

The capital is seeing such projects as the production of almost the entire line of oncological drugs, satellites like Starlink, and drones that are admired not only in the special military operation but also at foreign exhibitions. The Moscow mayor emphasized that the capital is receiving a large number of requests for the supply of these products for export.

According to Sergei Sobyanin, it is also important for the city that new production facilities have high added value and are environmentally friendly, and that wages provide an opportunity to work primarily for Muscovites, and not migrants with a low level of education. And the capital faces the task of creating as many different jobs as possible in different parts of the city. This will also help to avoid one of the main problems in terms of traffic – pendulum labor migration, the movement of labor.

“We are definitely in favor of people not having to travel around Moscow unnecessarily, but finding work close to home,” added Sergei Sobyanin.

Thus, to solve these problems, one of the largest film clusters in the world was built near the Central Ring Road, and in Kommunarka, the “City” is being built, where dozens of office centers are planned to be created.

Since 2014, a unique platform "City of Ideas" gives residents of the capital the opportunity to make proposals for the development of various spheres of life in the capital. More than 626 thousand people have already joined it, and almost nine thousand ideas have already been implemented in practice. Sergei Sobyanin spoke about how Muscovites are changing the city's sports life in his blog.

“They became especially successful

projects in the field of sports, I spoke about some of them recently. But the residents' proposals are not limited to the creation of new sports grounds. The discussion of various initiatives for the development of publicly accessible physical education and sports has generated enormous interest among Muscovites," the Moscow Mayor wrote.

Participants of a special project in the format of a media platform "The city discusses Moscow sports", organized in March 2025, became almost 100 thousand people, and almost 30 thousand Muscovites within the framework of thematic projects proposed more than five thousand different ideas. Of these, the city took 176 best proposals into work. To date, 34 ideas of city residents have already been implemented.

Walking and running festival, immersive tours and parkour

Thus, in June, on the initiative of Muscovites, the walking and running festival "10,000 steps" was held. On the Boulevard Ring, 250 thousand city residents took part in mass running and walking starts, master classes, sports training, immersive excursions, dancing and other events.

A Nordic walking marathon took place on Tverskoy Boulevard, and an international yoga day took place in Tsaritsyno.

Parkour is actively developing in Moscow. From the beginning of summer until City Day, an extreme park with labyrinths and arches for performing various tricks was opened in Luzhniki. It will operate until City Day as part of the event "Moscow 2030. Sports. Man of the Future".
