A meeting of the organizing committee for the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia was held at the National Center "Russia," chaired by First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office Sergei Kiriyenko and Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova.

Participants discussed the goals and objectives of the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia, as well as the preparation of a plan of events for 2026, the main criteria of which will be the common values and goals of the peoples of Russia.

Opening the organizing committee meeting, First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office Sergei Kiriyenko noted: "The Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia is a response to enemy attempts to destabilize our country from within, to disrupt interethnic unity, friendship, and partnerships between traditional Russian faiths in the context of a special military operation, as well as the information war waged against our country. The President has repeatedly stated that today, on the front lines, heroes of various nationalities, speaking different languages, are responsible for one thing: victory, unity, and the integrity of our state. Representatives of more than 100 nationalities in the country have been awarded high military decorations during the Second Military Operation. Young men of various nationalities, representatives of all the peoples of Russia, proudly say today: 'I am a Russian soldier,' 'I am a Russian officer,' 'Russians never surrender.' We have much to be proud of and much to pass on to the younger generation, including our traditions and culture."

Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova spoke about this year's priorities.

"The unity of the peoples of Russia is the foundation of our country's development. Ahead of the Year of Unity, Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin approved a new State National Policy Strategy through 2036. The government is currently developing a plan to implement the strategy, which will be approved soon. We view the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia as a space for dialogue and support for initiatives. We pay special attention to young people, as the new generation is shaping the future of Russia. It is crucial that our traditional spiritual and moral values, as well as our historical and cultural heritage, are communicated through educational projects, volunteer programs, cultural exchanges, forums, media initiatives, and interaction with veterans and participants in special military operations. It is essential that this year be more than just a series of events and reports, but a personal experience of being part of these events. Therefore, it is important to speak about the unity of languages and meanings that are understandable to all citizens of our great country," the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.

Igor Barinov, Head of the Federal Agency for Ethnic Affairs of Russia, noted the important role of the new strategy for state nationalities policy: "The Russian Federation has historically evolved as a multinational and multi-confessional state, with the Russian people playing a pivotal role. Mutual respect and a willingness to cooperate have always been the foundation of our development. Today, drawing on this historical experience, we are building a modern model for state nationalities policy. It is symbolic that the new Strategy for State Nationalities Policy of the Russian Federation through 2036 came into effect during the Year of Unity. The document articulates a unified, succinct, and well-defined goal: strengthening the unity of the people of the Russian Federation."

During the meeting, proposals from members of the organizing committee were heard, which will be taken into account as part of the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia.

The Year was officially launched by President Vladimir Putin during the educational marathon "Russia – a Family of Families," which was attended by representatives of over 190 nationalities across Russia, as well as foreign guests. The key themes were the shared history, culture, and traditional spiritual and moral values of the peoples of Russia, as well as examples of unity in service to the Fatherland. These are the areas where the state and society will focus their efforts in 2026.

A spire has been installed on the building housing the clock tower, which is being built on the Kantiana campus of the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University (IKBFU) in Kaliningrad. Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin announced the installation.

"The active development of a world-class campus network, as instructed by the President of Russia, demonstrates the serious attention paid to modernizing the educational infrastructure. These new student campuses are designed to provide high-quality education and create comfortable conditions for study and research. Such a project is being implemented in Kaliningrad, among other places. Despite the current challenges, the construction of the Kantiana campus, covering over 109,000 square meters, is currently over 80% complete. Construction continues on the central building of the entire educational complex—the Graduate School of Philosophy and Social Sciences—where specialists have completed the installation of the spire. The clock tower, which stands 60 meters tall with the spire, is now visible to residents and visitors from afar. I am confident it will become a true architectural symbol of the campus and of Kaliningrad itself," said Marat Khusnullin.

In the spring of 2026, a unique clock, 3 meters in diameter and oriented toward all four cardinal directions, will be installed on the institute's tower. It will feature several types of illumination, each independently controllable, and the backlighting of the hands will be monochrome.

"Currently, work is underway on the exterior facade finishing, installation of translucent structures, and interior finishing at the Graduate School of Philosophy and Social Sciences. Roofing and utility systems are also being installed. In addition, construction continues on the campus for the Biomed building, the Institute of High Technologies, and the conference complex. All construction and installation work is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2026," noted Karen Oganesyan, CEO of the Unified Customer in Construction.

The Graduate School of Philosophy, History, and Social Sciences building, covering over 12,000 square meters, will accommodate over 1,000 students. The building will house lecture halls, language labs, computer labs, classrooms for group study, a library with reading rooms, laboratories, a media center, and much more.

"The Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University campus is a unique complex, not only in terms of its architectural design but also in its meaning. The three research and educational buildings located here reflect key areas and levels of human life. "Biomed" is about "the physical human being." It will feature areas related to medicine, biology, genetics, chemistry, and more. The Institute of High Technologies building reflects "the technological human being" and everything related to IT solutions, materials science, and the gadgets we use every day. And the third building, the Higher School of Philosophy, History, and Social Sciences, is for the "inner human being": our future philosophers, political scientists, sociologists, historians, as well as lawyers and economists, will study here. This way, we will be able to combine the training of students in seemingly very different specialties, but in the modern world, very relevant to each other, in a single city location for interdisciplinary work. It is impossible to implement projects in the field of modern norms and regulations in bioengineering or ethics in medicine if our young minds are scattered throughout the city. It is important to unite students who reason and understand the inner needs of a person with those who are engaged in technology. For the first time in "At the Kantiana campus, we will have the opportunity to create such teams not only online, but also in a real infrastructure environment," said Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University Rector Maxim Demin.

Four more campuses are being built by specialists from the Unified Customer in Construction Group in Orel, Novosibirsk, Smolensk, and Moscow.

The Government House is hosting Artificial Intelligence Week for the first time. The event, aimed at civil servants, includes an educational program and an interactive exhibition of domestic AI solutions. The main goal of AI Week is to introduce civil servants to the capabilities of AI technology and train them in the use of specific solutions they can already apply in practice. Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko, who oversees the implementation of artificial intelligence, participated in the opening ceremony.

"We've already begun using artificial intelligence in the Government Office. To this end, we launched an experiment and deployed a number of solutions for performing common tasks. The goal is to free specialists from routine tasks, such as preparing reports, so they can focus on core issues. It's important to understand: artificial intelligence doesn't write bills or make government decisions. It doesn't replace humans or compete with them. AI is merely a tool and assistant for civil servants. As part of AI Week, we're not only training civil servants to use AI in their work but also striving to change their attitudes toward the technology. Today, the ability to effectively use artificial intelligence is a new professional competency. There's nothing wrong with using modern tools that allow you to solve a problem in minutes instead of hours," said Dmitry Grigorenko.

The Government Executive Office is currently conducting an experiment to integrate artificial intelligence services into work processes. The experiment is testing solutions from leading Russian tech companies, Sber and Yandex. Three AI assistants are already available to pilot participants in an open environment: Alice AI and NeuroLawyer from Yandex, and GigaChat from Sber. Government employees are using them to solve common tasks such as preparing quick reports, spell checking, generating document summaries, and analyzing and comparing different versions of regulatory documents.

Additionally, as part of the experiment, work is underway to create an infrastructure for the operation of AI solutions. Specifically, an AI server has been installed directly at Government House. This will expand the possibilities for using artificial intelligence within the Government Office, for example, by integrating the technology into the electronic document management system.

As Dmitry Grigorenko noted, even more AI functions will soon be available to Government Executive Office staff. These include the creation of meeting minutes, document classification by topic, the creation of reports based on extensive materials, and smart search in knowledge bases. Thirteen AI services are in development by 2026, including those for analytics, email management, and compliance monitoring.

AI Week is a separate component of a larger effort to familiarize civil servants with the potential of using technology in public administration. The educational program includes lectures featuring practitioners (from Sber and Yandex). Simultaneously, an interactive exhibition of domestic AI solutions was held at the Government House. For example, as part of the exhibition, Sber showcased the capabilities of the GigaChat neural network, which can assist Government Office employees with daily routine tasks, such as compiling briefs and analyzing documents. Sber and its partners also demonstrated a set of tools for creating AI agents for civil servants, which assist in preparing meeting minutes and handling citizen requests.

"The technologies we're showcasing at AI Week in the Government share a clear idea: artificial intelligence should work for people and the country, not the other way around. We're creating solutions that are extremely useful right now for use in the highly responsible work of the Government Executive Office. These technologies make complex things simple and accessible and are helping with the digital transformation of the entire country. The GigaChat AI assistant, GigaChat Business, AI agents, data analysis, speech technologies, and other Sberbank developments bring tangible benefits to the state and its citizens. And these positive effects will only continue to grow," commented Andrey Belevtsev, Senior Vice President and Head of Technological Development at Sberbank.

At the exhibition, Yandex presented "NeuroLawyer," an AI assistant for legal professionals, as well as developments based on its own AI models, used in socially significant projects in healthcare, education, transportation, and the environment.

Federal highways form the backbone of the country's transport system. Regional roads, which connect district and regional centers and provide access to important facilities, often serve as access routes to them. For Donbas and Novorossiya, comprehensive road renovation at all levels is a key factor in dynamic development. For example, in the Donetsk People's Republic, under the supervision of the State Company "Avtodor," major repairs have begun on a 38-kilometer section of regional road from Volnovakha to the federal highway R-150. This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"Work continues in the reunited regions to bring road infrastructure up to standard. Each road or route subject to reconstruction or repair is outlined in the signed programs. These programs propose an approach to upgrading the federal, regional, and road networks that will ensure the integration of the regions into the national space and impact economic development, logistics, and tourism. Road workers have currently begun major repairs on a section of the regional highway linking Volnovakha with the R-150. Previously, a 24-kilometer section of the R-150 highway, connecting Luhansk with Donetsk, which is in high demand among local residents, was brought up to standard," the Deputy Prime Minister explained.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that work is also currently ongoing on the 30 km bypass of Donetsk, which is part of the R-150 Belgorod-Starobelsk-Lugansk-Donetsk-Mariupol road.

"Work on this section of the highway is scheduled for completion by the end of this year. The project includes laying two layers of asphalt concrete, applying road markings, installing curbs, and road signs. It's also worth noting that the "Memory of Road Heroes" monument, built by Avtodor and contractors, is located nearby," explained Vyacheslav Petushenko, Chairman of the Board of the state-owned company Avtodor.

Marat Khusnullin: Over 8,800 homes were built in the first year of the law on escrow accounts for individual housing construction.

Since March 1, 2025, when the law allowing for the use of escrow accounts in individual housing construction (IHC) came into force, more than 8,800 private homes have been built using this mechanism, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported.

"We see a strong interest among people in living in their own homes. The record 63.5 million square meters of individual housing construction completed last year clearly demonstrates this. At the President's direction, a set of measures for the development of individual housing construction through 2030 has been approved to ensure this trend receives further support. It is crucial that this growing sector be as reliable as possible for citizens. That's why, a year ago, the escrow account mechanism was extended to individual construction, which has proven successful in the construction of multi-family housing. In the first year of the law's implementation, more than 8,800 private homes were built using escrow accounts. Also during this time, 22,800 contracts using escrow accounts were signed for the construction of individual homes, totaling 2.4 million square meters," said Marat Khusnullin.

Currently, the use of escrow accounts is mandatory when constructing private homes using credit funds under preferential mortgage programs.

The portal stroim.dom.rf has become a unified digital platform for building houses using a protective mechanism.

"We are creating a user-friendly digital infrastructure for a civilized individual housing construction market. Today, more than 10,500 contractors are offering their projects on the stroim.dom.rf portal, and citizens have access to over 42,000 home options for secure construction using escrow," noted Vitaly Mutko, CEO of DOM.RF.

As a reminder, an escrow account in construction provides a secure payment method. The buyer deposits funds into a special bank account, and the developer receives them only after construction is completed and the building is commissioned. This guarantees the safety of funds and protects the buyer from loss in the event of missed deadlines or the company's bankruptcy.

From March 2 to April 16, applications are open for the "Region for Young People" competition for comprehensive development programs in Russia's regions. Rosmolodezh is conducting the competition at the request of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"Thanks to the presidential program 'Region for Young People', part of the national project 'Youth and Children,' more than 250 youth centers have been modernized across the country since 2022, and another 95 will be renovated this year. This season, the winning regions will be able to receive up to 250 million rubles to create and improve youth spaces, host events, and train youth policy staff. This will create additional opportunities for realizing the potential and developing the talents of our younger generation," noted Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

This year marks the fifth time the "Region for Young People" competition is being held. Its key objective is to drive transformational change in youth policy in Russia's regions. Regions, with the direct participation of young people, are developing projects and programs aimed at creating modern platforms for the self-fulfillment of the younger generation, developing the professional competencies of industry specialists, and widely informing young people about existing support measures. Thanks to the program, youth policy infrastructure is also being updated in Russia's regions, creating modern centers of attraction for children and young people.

"For us, the 'Region for Young People' program isn't just about renovating our facilities; it's also about imbuing them with meaning. These are spaces where young people can find their passion, like-minded people, mentors, and opportunities for growth and self-realization. Over the four years of the program's implementation, 79 winning regions have received support. More than 12,800 events have been held at the renovated youth centers, reaching over 30.5 million people," noted Grigory Gurov, head of Rosmolodezh.

To participate in the competition, a region must submit a package of documents, including information about the youth centers planned for renovation (there may be several), as well as a comprehensive plan for substantive work. This plan includes events and forums for young people, analytical research, methodological developments, and continuing professional education programs for industry specialists.

The application must be signed by the head of the region and submitted to Rosmolodezh within the specified deadline. The competition results will be announced in June 2026.

In addition, Rosmolodezh, in collaboration with the online publication Lenta.ru, launched an interactive map of youth centers across Russia. The service allows you to quickly find the nearest center in your or a neighboring region and learn about available programs and opportunities:https://molodezh.lenta.ru/

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Since 2019, more than 5,000 public and courtyard areas have been improved in the Southern Federal District (SFD). This work directly impacts the improvement of people's quality of life and the development of the urban environment in this macro-region, reported Deputy Prime Minister and Supervisor of the SFD, Marat Khusnullin.

"The Southern Federal District plays a vital role in Russia's economic, cultural, and tourism life. Our goal is to make it as comfortable as possible for both local residents and tourists. Since the beginning of 2019, 4,500 public spaces and over 500 courtyards have been improved. This work is currently ongoing as part of the national project 'Infrastructure for Life.' According to the Presidential Decree on the country's national development goals, by 2030, Russia must improve at least 30,000 public spaces and implement 1,600 winning projects in the All-Russian Competition for the Best Projects to Create a Comfortable Urban Environment. It's important that new parks and embankments become focal points for residents and visitors, setting new standards for urban development in the region and throughout the country," noted Marat Khusnullin.

For example, in the Republic of Adygea, in Adygeysk, a recreation park with quiet leisure and active play areas is being built in stages on Lenin Avenue. The design was developed with input from residents. In Maykop, the "Mezdakh" forest park project is being implemented on the slope of a ridge. In 2024, an entrance area with an observation deck, children's areas, and sports areas were completed. The second phase, covering an area of 8 hectares, included pedestrian and bicycle trails, hardscape elements, swings, and sports equipment, including tennis tables and chess tables.

Large-scale changes have also affected the Volgograd Region. In Volgograd's Dzerzhinsky District, the second phase of the Heroes-Pilots Park has been completed. A multifunctional area has been created there, featuring a children's playground, basketball and workout courts, and a pump track. In Frolovo, after winning a competition, Zheleznodorozhny Park has been transformed into a sports and recreation cluster. The concept for the nearly 4-hectare linear park combines a skate park, an amphitheater, a lecture hall, and terrain paths with exercise equipment.

"A high-quality renovation of key public spaces is only possible with the direct participation of citizens. We see a growing public involvement in the voting process for improvement projects every year, including in the Southern Federal District. For example, the radical transformation of the Heroic Pilots Park in Volgograd was made possible thanks to the active participation of residents: over 24,000 people supported the project in the nationwide online vote. The All-Russian Competition for the Best Projects for Creating a Comfortable Urban Environment, which has already completed 63 winning projects in the Southern Federal District, also makes a significant contribution to the creation of modern, functional, and sought-after improvement projects in the region. In 2026, taking into account projects started in 2025, another 1,147 public spaces and 24 winning projects are planned for completion, demonstrating a well-thought-out and systematic approach to urban infrastructure development," said Minister of Construction, Housing and Utilities Irek Fayzullin.

On March 2, Mentor Day, applications were accepted for the third All-Russian "Mentoring" competition—one of the key projects identifying and supporting best mentoring practices in the country.

The All-Russian "Mentoring" competition is being held as part of the implementation of the Concept for the Development of Mentoring in the Russian Federation through 2030, approved by the Government. The competition is operated by the Institute for the Development of Professional Education, with the support of the Ministry of Education and the partnership of leading ministries, public organizations, and volunteer organizations.

"This year, we are celebrating Mentor Day for the first time, established by decree of President Vladimir Putin. It's symbolic that this holiday marks the launch of the all-Russian 'Mentoring' competition. Over the past two years, more than 20,000 people have participated, 100 mentoring practices have been selected, and over 200 authors have received additional recognition for their best work. I congratulate all mentors on this occasion! Thank you for fulfilling your noble mission, and I wish you good health and compassionate mentors!" said Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The competition's main goal is to create a nationwide database of best mentoring practices, which serve as an effective tool for training and supporting personnel in the real economy, education, and youth policy.

"The 'Mentoring' competition grows larger and more comprehensive each year. Today, it encompasses manufacturing, education, social services, and government and municipal service—in all of these fields, the experience of seniors is crucial for professional development. This year, we're introducing a new category: 'Mentoring in Business and Entrepreneurship.' This is an important step: we'll bring together best practices for sharing business experience that help aspiring entrepreneurs launch and grow their businesses. We invite everyone who's willing to share their knowledge and lead the way to apply," noted Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov.

Applications for the All-Russian Mentoring Competition are accepted in five categories:

— "Mentoring in production"

— "Mentoring in Education"

— “Mentoring in the social sphere and public activities”,

— "Mentoring in the public and municipal service"

— “Mentoring in business and entrepreneurship.”

"The 'Mentoring' competition is a vibrant communication environment where professionals from a wide range of fields share experiences and inspire each other. It fosters a community of people for whom sharing knowledge and supporting colleagues is not a formality, but the meaning of their work. Competition winners become mentoring ambassadors across the country: they speak at conferences, conduct master classes, and participate in expert sessions. This is how the competition works toward a larger goal: making mentoring a norm in professional culture in Russia," emphasized Sergei Kozhevnikov, Rector of the Institute for the Development of Professional Education.

Any citizen of the Russian Federation over the age of 18 who is engaged in mentoring activities is eligible to participate in the competition. The online format ensures equal opportunities for all participants, regardless of their region of residence. Winners from various years actively participate in educational events at the national, regional, and municipal levels as lecturers, speakers, and moderators of discussions, conferences, master classes, and webinars.

The competition results will be announced in July 2026 at the All-Russian seminar-conference "Mentoring: Traditions, Experience, Cooperation" at the Federal Technopark for Professional Education in Kaluga.
