Denis Manturov visited the Research Center "Institute named after N.E. Zhukovsky"

First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov visited the N.E. Zhukovsky Institute and learned about the results obtained during the implementation of complex research projects.

The presented technology demonstrators, aerodynamic models, and samples of elements and systems of advanced aircraft reflect the scientific and technical groundwork the center has achieved to date in the interests of creating advanced domestic aviation technology products.

Denis Manturov reviewed aerodynamic models of a promising long-range aircraft, a supersonic civil airliner, and a demonstrator of the Strizh supersonic civil aircraft technology suite. Flight demonstrators of a rotary-wing aircraft for urban agglomerations and small aircraft technologies equipped with electric propulsion systems were also presented, along with large-scale demonstrators of promising composite aircraft designs (a full-scale demonstrator of the integrated wing and fuselage structure of a promising long-range aircraft and a full-scale fuselage section of the Strizh demonstrator with an integrated optical structural diagnostic system).

The First Deputy Prime Minister was also shown artificial intelligence solutions: technologies for detecting runway markings and obstacles and providing recommendations to the crew, monitoring the crew's psychophysiological state, and providing information and control for the crew in a windshieldless cockpit. A demonstration of a prototype decision-making and support system "on the ground" and "in the air" in surrounding traffic was also provided.

The construction and testing of the center's technology demonstrators will enable the near future transition to full-scale development of next-generation aircraft with characteristics that will ensure Russia's technological leadership.

Marat Khusnullin: The reconstruction of the storage facility at the Tolstoy Museum-Estate "Yasnaya Polyana" has been completed.

Work continues on upgrading the infrastructure and expanding the exhibition spaces at the Leo Tolstoy Museum-Estate "Yasnaya Polyana" in the Tula Region. The reconstruction of the storage building has been completed, announced Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"Comprehensive work on the grounds of the Leo Tolstoy Yasnaya Polyana Museum Estate is aimed at preserving the cultural heritage and increasing the museum's capacity. The project is complex and has a long history. The work was planned to be completed by the 190th anniversary of the great writer's birth in 2018, but was delayed. In 2021, the facilities were handed over to the company "Single Customer in Construction." Reconstruction of another building—a three-story storage facility with an area of over 4,500 square meters—has now been completed. Thanks to the new buildings, the nature reserve's capacity will increase to 350,000 people per year," said Marat Khusnullin.

The storage facility will house the estate's collections and host exhibitions. It will also house administrative, visitor, and support spaces.

"In October of this year, the reconstruction of the first building—a two-story restoration workshop block—was completed. Work will be carried out there to preserve the estate's historical appearance. It will also host cultural and educational events, an exhibition hall, and interactive workshops. The projects at Yasnaya Polyana are being implemented as part of the register of capital construction projects, part of the comprehensive state program 'Construction,' overseen by the Russian Ministry of Construction," said Deputy Minister of Construction, Housing and Utilities Yuri Gordeyev.

Two more facilities will be built on the museum-reserve grounds: a festival center and a visitor reception and service center.

"Roofing work is currently underway at the festival center's construction site, and preparatory work is underway at the visitor reception and services center. The combined floor area of the four buildings is over 12,000 square meters," said Karen Oganesyan, CEO of the Unified Customer Production and Management Company.

Yasnaya Polyana is the family estate of writer Leo Tolstoy, where he was born and spent most of his life. The estate's memorial landscapes (gardens, parks, ponds, and forests planted by the writer), as well as the buildings from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, have been maintained in their original historical form.

Eighteen bilateral documents and a final act were signed following the 19th meeting of the High-Level Intergovernmental Russian-Venezuelan Commission.

The 19th meeting of the High-Level Intergovernmental Russian-Venezuelan Commission was held under the chairmanship of Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Executive Vice President, Vice President for Economy, and Minister of People's Power for Oil of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela Delcy Rodriguez.

During the meeting, the parties discussed cooperation between Russia and Venezuela, including in tourism, education, sports, healthcare, industry, trade and economics, agriculture, and technology.

"Venezuela remains a reliable partner and ally of Russia in Latin America and globally. We highly value the trusting political dialogue at all levels, including the highest. The talks between the presidents of Russia and Venezuela held in Moscow on May 7 once again confirmed their commitment to strengthening cooperation across the board. The Strategic Partnership Agreement signed by the leaders of our countries provides a solid foundation for this," noted Dmitry Chernyshenko.

On behalf of the Russian Government, he expressed support for the Government of Venezuela and solidarity with the fraternal Venezuelan people in defending national sovereignty in the face of external threats.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that this year both countries celebrated important dates: the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War and the 80th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations.

"Our Intergovernmental Commission remains focused on expanding project activities in line with the 2030 Plan. We welcome the Venezuelan side's interest in expanding the portfolio of bilateral initiatives," said the Deputy Prime Minister of Russia.

This year, Russian imports from Venezuela have tripled. Furthermore, more than 65 Russian companies are ready to supply Venezuela with high-quality Russian agricultural products.

In addition, cooperation in the field of healthcare is being strengthened.

"Around 800 Venezuelan doctors have already participated in training programs organized by Russian relevant agencies and pharmaceutical companies. The Russian-Venezuelan Center for the Study and Prevention of Infectious Diseases, where over 16,000 joint studies have been conducted, continues its successful work in Caracas," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The parties also discussed tourism development prospects. A representative office of the Venezuelan tourism company Venetour opened in Moscow in early 2025. Venezuela acted as a partner country for the 5th International Tourism Forum "Travel!" held in Moscow: "This November, a flight from Caracas to St. Petersburg was launched. Cultural exchanges, educational programs, and sporting events are an important part of bilateral cooperation."

Dmitry Chernyshenko invited his Venezuelan colleagues to participate in the traditional St. Petersburg International Economic Forum and the International Tourism Forum "Travel!" in 2026.

"You know that Russian tourists visiting Venezuela can already use Russian Mir cards. We are currently working to ensure that Venezuelan tourists visiting Russia can use Venezuelan cards in Russia. We are also actively developing cooperation in agriculture. Venezuelan coffee and seafood are exported to Russia. We are seeing a steady increase in our trade turnover," said Delcy Rodriguez.

She also noted the cooperation between the two countries in sports, culture, healthcare, transport and other areas.

"The Commission's work makes a significant contribution to enhancing the effectiveness of our work and deepening the development of the activities facilitated by our High-Level International Commission. Our meeting is taking place against the backdrop of the strategic strengthening of our relations in accordance with the documents signed by Presidents Putin and Maduro, documents ratified by our parliaments," said Delcy Rodriguez.

Following the 19th meeting of the Intergovernmental Russian-Venezuelan High-Level Commission, 18 bilateral documents and a final act were signed.

These include a Memorandum of Understanding between Rosmolodezh and the Ministry of People's Power for Youth Affairs of Venezuela on cooperation in the field of youth policy, a Memorandum of Understanding between the ministries of transport on developing cooperation in the training and retraining of personnel in the transport sector, a cooperation agreement between the National Research University "MPEI" and the National University of Sciences "Dr. Humberto Fernandez-Moran", and other documents.

"The Russian side highly values the results of the work accomplished and the agreements reached. We have charted a course and determined next steps on all key issues on the bilateral agenda. Next year, we will hold the commission's 20th, anniversary meeting. We expect to approach it with even more impressive results. We fully share the principles of trust, openness, and mutual interest, and we intend to demonstrate this through concrete actions and initiatives," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

Also participating in the meeting from the Russian side were Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela Sergey Melik-Bagdasarov, Deputy Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation Evgeny Grabchak, State Secretary and Deputy Minister of Education of the Russian Federation Andrei Korneev, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Kirill Lysogorsky, Deputy Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation Alexander Poshivai, and State Secretary and Deputy Minister of Health of the Russian Federation Oleg Salagai.

1. On the execution of the federal budget for the first nine months of 2025, November 26, 2025. And also on support for the northern regions. The President has identified the development of the Arctic as one of our strategic priorities. It is important to improve the quality of life for citizens there, create comfortable conditions for work and study, and ensure access to high-quality and reliable communications.

To address this challenge, approximately 7,000 kilometers of fiber optic lines will be built in Yakutia. They will connect hard-to-reach and remote areas of the Arctic zone. High-speed internet will be available in 61 settlements in the republic, home to a total of approximately 50,000 people. Currently, only expensive satellite communications are available, with no backup channels. This leads to constant problems and service outages.

The government will allocate nearly 5.5 billion rubles from the federal budget to implement this large-scale project. And, according to our agreement, the region itself will contribute the same amount. All plans must be implemented within the next three years.

Maksut Igorevich (addressing M. Shadaev), please monitor this closely.

The new infrastructure will allow homes and public facilities to connect to networks with data transfer speeds of at least 100 Mbps, compared to the current 10 Mbps. This will lead to lower tariffs.

Citizens and businesses will be able to more actively use modern digital capabilities and electronic services. The adoption of technology across economic sectors will accelerate.

In addition, optical access is more resistant to external influences and is not affected by weather conditions, which is of great importance in the harsh conditions of the North.

Marat Khusnullin: Almost 550 km of roads have been brought up to standard under the Victory Street project.

Since the beginning of the year, nearly 550 km of regional and local roads named after heroes and events of the Great Patriotic War, as well as those leading to monuments and memorials, have been brought up to standard as part of the "Victory Street" project. The work was carried out under the "Infrastructure for Life" national project, as well as federally and regionally funded programs. Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin announced this.

"The Victory Street project combines the preservation of the historical memory of the country's heroic past with the development of its road infrastructure, contributing to the future. In the year of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, in all 89 regions of Russia, including the reunified regions, we are bringing sections of roads leading to sites of military glory or named after heroes of the Great Patriotic War up to standard. To date, work has been completed on 176 sites—almost 550 km," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that a total of 218 such facilities, covering a total of 640 km, are planned to be renovated by 2025. He noted that an important goal of the project is to increase Russian citizens' awareness of the country's history and the heroism of the Soviet people.

"The project first launched in 2020. Then, on the eve of the 75th anniversary of Victory Day, several Russian regions proposed a nationwide patriotic campaign, "Victory Street." The initiative was supported and became one of the largest projects in the country: roadworks were completed at 400 sites in both small towns and large cities. Renovating these sites contributes to preserving the memory of the events of those years and the heroism of war heroes and home front workers," emphasized Transport Minister Andrei Nikitin.

It should be noted that during the war years, road workers also made an invaluable contribution to bringing Victory closer.

"During the difficult war years, every kilometer was crucial. Between 1941 and 1945, specialists restored more than 100,000 kilometers of transport arteries and maintained 359,000 kilometers of military roads. Today, we continue their legacy. Streets named in honor of the heroes and events of the Great Patriotic War don't just connect infrastructure; they connect generations," said Kairat Tursunbekov, Deputy Head of the Federal Road Agency.

Thus, in the year of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, approximately 49 km of roads leading to monuments and memorials dedicated to the events of those years were renovated in the Leningrad Region. Key sites include the access road to Krasnoye Selo, associated with the heroic deeds of machine gunner Alexander Tipanov, and the section of the Komsomolskoye-Priozersk road leading to the Antrea Memorial Park, the site of the bloody battles for the Karelian Isthmus.

In the Belgorod Region, over 50 kilometers of road network have been repaired as part of the "Victory Street" project. One of the projects is a section of the highway running along Gorovets Street, named after pilot Alexander Gorovets, who shot down nine German aircraft in a single battle.

In the Bryansk Region, special attention was paid to roads leading to memorials. For example, repairs were made to the road at the entrance to the village of Ivot, where a memorial consisting of the remains of a fighter jet with the names of the fallen pilots is located. Work was also carried out on Gorbatova Street, named after an army general, and on Moskovsky Prospekt, where the Tank Crew Monument is located.

In St. Petersburg, work was carried out on major thoroughfares linked to the city's military history. The renovated Moskovsky Prospekt leads to the Moscow Victory Park, Savushkina Street leads to the Military Pilots' Square, and the Morskaya Embankment leads to the Kirov cruiser monument. Energetikov Prospekt, leading to the memorial to the victims of the siege at Bolsheokhtinskoye Cemetery, was also renovated.
