Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko delivered a report at a meeting of the Federation Council Committee on Economic Policy, held at the Analytical Center under the Government. In his report, Grigorenko discussed the results of the implementation of government digital systems and the testing of government services in user testing labs.

During a visit to the Analytical Center under the Government, senators from the Federation Council Committee on Economic Policy learned about the work of the government services user testing lab. All government services undergo testing in such labs before their launch. This testing is conducted using domestically produced neurophysiological equipment and additional methods such as in-depth interviews and usability testing. This allows for assessing the ease of use of government services and identifying and addressing any difficulties people experience when accessing them.

"The government has introduced a new approach to designing public services. All new public services are tested in laboratories. Based on the test results, the services are refined and only then made available to users. Over 1,700 public services and all 70 real-life situations have already been tested—both those already implemented and those planned for launch by the end of 2025," said Dmitry Grigorenko.

During the meeting, senators of the Federation Council Committee on Economic Policy were also shown the operation of the monitoring systems for the national project "Data Economy and Digital Transformation of the State," regional digital transformation programs, and the "Governor's Dashboard."

Dmitry Grigorenko emphasized that digital systems, as well as the implementation of artificial intelligence in monitoring national projects and state programs, enable a transition to a fundamentally new management model based on data and specific figures, as well as the provision of services to citizens and businesses in a format convenient for them.

Dmitry Grigorenko also noted the importance of joint work between the Government Executive Office and the Federation Council to create a regulatory framework for the development and implementation of advanced digital technologies, protecting Russia's digital sovereignty, and increasing the IT industry's contribution to the country's economy.

Branch of the Russian Ethnographic Museum in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.

Construction and installation work has been completed at the new branch of the Russian Ethnographic Museum in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, and permission to open the facility has been received. Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin announced this.

"Systematic work to develop cultural facilities continues in Russia's regions, aimed at preserving historical heritage and increasing public access to cultural treasures. Particular attention is being paid to creating museum spaces that meet modern standards. A striking example of this work is the opening of the new building for the Russian Ethnographic Museum in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, with a total area of over 3,500 square meters. It was constructed by the company "Unified Customer in Construction." All work was completed on schedule. The new museum complex will become a multifunctional center for the storage, restoration, and digitization of collections. It will also include modern public spaces for exhibitions, creative and educational events," said Marat Khusnullin.

The museum's exhibition will feature materials revealing Russia's role in preserving the cultures and languages of indigenous peoples. The new building is also planned to house unique artifacts discovered at various times on Sakhalin and nearby islands, reflecting the traditions and everyday life of the region's population from the late 9th to early 20th centuries.

"The project is being implemented by the Unified Customer subsidiaries and contractors as part of the national project 'Infrastructure for Life' and the register of capital construction projects, part of the comprehensive state program 'Construction,' overseen by the Russian Ministry of Construction. The brown façade blends seamlessly with the architecture of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. The building is adorned with the museum's logo and name, visible to city residents from afar. The total area of the installed façade is approximately 1,900 square meters," said Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Yuri Gordeyev.

The museum building houses a lecture hall, a multimedia cinema, food court areas, and a souvenir shop.

"The area surrounding the new museum building has been comprehensively landscaped. The builders installed street lighting, laid the lawn, laid sidewalks, and installed hardscape elements. This modern facility, built at the intersection of Yesenina and Komsomolskaya Streets, is already recognizable in the city," noted Karen Oganesyan, General Director of the Unified Customer Production Company.

The museum's opening and first exhibition are scheduled for September 2026.

"The completion of the building on Sakhalin is undoubtedly a significant event in the history of the Russian Ethnographic Museum, which will allow us to enter a qualitatively new phase of our work. Our efforts will now be focused on creating a modern museum space. During the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia, it will become an important platform for understanding the country's cultural diversity in the unique Sakhalin context. Our goal is to create a sought-after cultural center in the region, significant both for the local community and for the development of tourism," said Yulia Kupina, Director of the Russian Ethnographic Museum.

Following the first six months of the third season of the "Far East – Land of Adventure" competition, 506 films were submitted for jury evaluation. This was announced by the project's initiator, Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District, Yuri Trutnev.

"We want as many people as possible to discover the beauty of the Far East, to come to Sakhalin, Yakutia, the Magadan Region, and other Far Eastern regions, to walk existing trails or create their own tourist routes, and to share their experiences. That's why we created our "Far East – Land of Adventure" competition. Thanks to the films submitted, everyone will be able to experience an exciting adventure alongside those who have walked the land of the Far East," said Yuri Trutnev.

The largest number of films were made about travel in the Sakhalin Region (148 videos), Primorsky Krai (84 films), and Khabarovsk Krai (56 films). Thirty-seven videos were submitted about travel in the Amur Region, 32 videos about travel in the Jewish Autonomous Region, 25 and 23 films about the Zabaikalsky and Kamchatka Krais, respectively, and 21 videos about the Republic of Buryatia. Fourteen films were made about each of the Magadan and Murmansk Regions, 11 videos about the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic, and seven videos about the Arkhangelsk Region. Six films each were submitted about tourist routes in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug and the Komi Republic, five films each about travel in the Republic of Karelia, the Yamalo-Nenets and Chukotka Autonomous Okrugs, and three films about the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug.

The leader in terms of the number of applications received is the “Walking Journey” nomination – 323 films, the “Water Journey” nomination received 80 video works, the “Winter Journey” nomination – 33 videos, and the “Arctic Journey” nomination – 58 films.

Twelve films from the competition have been selected for the special "Paths of Victory" category. This category includes films about journeys to sites of military glory in the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District and the Arctic zone of Russia. To submit an application for the "Paths of Victory" category, simply submit a film in one of the four main categories—hiking, water, winter, or Arctic travel—and the competition jury will then select your film for the special category.

Additionally, the competition offers a special prize of 1 million rubles for the best trip to Chukotka. This special category has been announced again this year by the regional leadership.

We remind you that applications for the third season of the all-Russian competition for the best travel experience, "The Far East – Land of Adventure," are being accepted until January 15, 2026. To participate, you must create a short film up to 8 minutes long about your trip to the Far East or the Arctic and submit it through the website puteshestvendv.rf. The trip must have taken place no earlier than May 1, 2023, and no later than January 15, 2026. Video footage shot with both professional cameras and mobile devices is acceptable; quality is not a deciding factor. The main requirement is that the trip must be completed without the use of motorized vehicles. Footage featuring motorized vehicles is acceptable if it shows the route to the starting point of the route.

The competition has four main categories: hiking, boating, winter travel, and Arctic travel. Two special categories have also been established: "Paths of Victory" and "Best Chukotka Trip." The grand prize for the best video is 3 million rubles.

The competition is organized with the support of the Office of the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of Russia in the Far Eastern Federal District, the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East, the Far East and Arctic Development Corporation, and the Social Initiatives Development Fund.

Dmitry Chernyshenko and Sergey Kravtsov awarded the winners of the All-Russian Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence.

Bauman Moscow State Technical University announced the results of the 2025 All-Russian Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence (with the opportunity for international students to participate). Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Minister of Education Sergei Kravtsov congratulated the winners.

"Guys, congratulations! Our President Vladimir Putin is paying personal attention to the topic of artificial intelligence, and most importantly, he's giving instructions that will ensure the dynamic development of this technology. Of course, to ensure we remain leaders in technological sovereignty, you have a lot of work ahead of you," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

He emphasized that the Olympiad participants are not just schoolchildren, but partners and colleagues. Their skills will help lay the foundation for a breakthrough in AI technologies in the future, which will strengthen the country's position on the global stage.

"You grew up in the era of AI and understand its potential better than most. Imagine: in 10-15 years, a powerful AI, created by your own hands, will solve problems that seem impossible today," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

Sergey Kravtsov expressed gratitude to the teachers and mentors who prepared the students for the competition, as well as to the tournament's partners. He noted that thanks to their joint efforts, the number of Olympiad participants has grown almost sixfold in recent years, and the competition has become known far beyond Russia's borders. This year, the qualifying rounds brought together students from 26 countries.

"In 2025, the Olympiad became international for the first time, with over 52,000 schoolchildren participating. During the tournament, you demonstrated the thinking of the future—the intellectual potential that will shape the country's technological development. Now, like the winners and runners-up of previous years, you will receive internships at leading companies. This is a true reward for your work. As our President recently noted, the use of artificial intelligence offers significant efficiency benefits. Therefore, I wish you continued growth, creating new things, and implementing innovative ideas. May artificial intelligence become a useful tool for you, which you will use for the benefit of our country," the Minister of Education emphasized.

Dmitry Chernyshenko and Sergey Kravtsov presented awards to 14 winners and runners-up from the Novosibirsk, Rostov, Oryol, and Moscow regions, the Udmurt Republic, Krasnodar Krai, Moscow, St. Petersburg, and the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as one overall winner: Yelisey Kirpichenko from St. Petersburg, a student at School No. 667.

The All-Russian Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence was held among students in grades 8–11 who were majoring in computer science and had an interest in AI technologies. Sixty-two students reached the finals, including 12 participants from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Cyprus, and Armenia.

As per tradition, the next season of the All-Russian Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence was announced during the closing ceremony. In 2026, young programmers and analysts will explore a new applied topic, "Space," chosen through an interactive vote.

The Olympiad is organized by the Russian Ministry of Education. The authorized organization is the State University of Education. The competition's main technology partner is VK.

At the AI Journey Science Day conference, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko summarized the results of the international AI foresight study, which was conducted at the request of the Russian President to study AI science.

"As our President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin noted, we must have unique competencies for the full cycle of developing fundamental language models: from their creation and training to their adaptation to the needs of various industries. Our teams are already demonstrating high results in a wide range of AI fields," noted Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The Deputy Prime Minister recalled that the first Russian AI foresight study was held last year. Ten promising areas of fundamental research were identified. In 2025, the discussion will be brought to the international level.

In 2025, the International AI Foresight was conducted in three stages: expert sessions, in-depth interviews, and the preparation of a final report.

"The work continued throughout the year, in close collaboration with AI research centers, academic institutions, and companies. Foresight sessions were held in Russia and abroad: in Morocco, the UAE, Serbia, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Indonesia, Armenia, and Cuba. This allowed us to calibrate our priorities, take into account the specificities of scientific schools, and build consensus on the objectives," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

He noted that 270 scientists are participating in the International AI Foresight, more than 150 of whom are international. All of them have a high h-index and at least two A* publications.

"The battle isn't over individual technologies, but over who will build their own ecosystem—their own 'operating system' for the future. Those who succeed will set the rules. Those who fail will become dependent on the decisions of others. We all understand this perfectly. Therefore, foresight and all our work are not about playing catch-up, but about shaping the contours of the future, based on a concrete scientific foundation shared by everyone who worked on it," said the Deputy Prime Minister.

The final report of the International AI Foresight was presented by researchers from Russia, China, India, Brazil, Vietnam, and Serbia at the plenary discussion of the "Journey into the World of AI" conference. The report is planned to be distributed to international partners and governments and submitted to the UN on behalf of the International AI Alliance.

The foresight activities were implemented by the International AI Alliance and the SAPFIR agency.

Dmitry Chernyshenko also welcomed the participants of the International AI Alliance meeting, which was attended by representatives of 28 Russian and international organizations.

"Last year, I attended the first meeting of the International AI Alliance, which brought together 17 industry associations from 14 countries. I see that the Alliance's representation is growing. Today, I am pleased to welcome the 11 countries that joined during the formal ceremony at the plenary session," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

Dmitry Chernyshenko thanked everyone for their work and noted that the alliance serves as a center of gravity, uniting the strongest players in the AI field.

"AI Horizons has changed a global trend. It's not just a prediction. It's a statement: science knows no boundaries, and the future of AI must be shaped collaboratively—with respect for the diversity of knowledge, cultures, and values," said Alexander Vedyakhin, First Deputy Chairman of the Executive Board of Sberbank.
