Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Chernyshenko congratulated the All-Russian public movement "Victory Volunteers" on its 10th anniversary.

He emphasized the close connection between the organization's history and the anniversaries of the Great Victory. The initiative to create the movement was supported by President Vladimir Putin in 2015 based on the work of the All-Russian Volunteer Corps for the 70th Anniversary of Victory. Now, in the Year of Defender of the Fatherland, declared by the head of state, it is celebrating its 10th anniversary.

The movement already unites more than 1.2 million volunteers from 89 Russian regions and 60 countries.

"Our President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly emphasized the importance of the work of the Victory Volunteers. The movement's volunteers not only help preserve historical memory and uphold the traditions and spiritual values of our people, but also contribute to helping the heroes—those fighting today in the Northern Military District. During the special military operation, the Victory Volunteers helped more than 17,000 mobilized personnel and their families, and answered more than 65,000 calls with requests. I wish the Victory Volunteers movement continued success in its work for the benefit of our country and its citizens, creating new ideas and bringing them to life, and I wish each volunteer the support of like-minded people and the gratitude of those around them," the Deputy Prime Minister stated.

Currently, the movement is the largest volunteer organization dedicated to civic and patriotic education and the preservation of historical memory. "Victory Volunteers" operates in six main areas: "My Victory," "My History," "Great Victory," "Connecting Generations," "Media Victory," and "Our Victories."

Volunteers help organize and support significant national and international events, such as the "Victory Letter," "St. George's Ribbon," and the International Cleanup Day. Every year, volunteers improve over 30,000 memorial sites.

Furthermore, representatives of the Victory Volunteers movement across the country conduct educational events involving special operation participants, collaborate with concerned citizens in writing letters to the front lines, collecting humanitarian aid, and participating in humanitarian missions to border regions. Volunteers from the movement regularly visit special military operation soldiers in hospitals.

The Victory Volunteers movement also acted as the operator of the International Volunteer Corps of the 80th Anniversary of Victory, supporting events commemorating the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War and World War II. For this purpose, volunteer training centers were established in Russia and abroad. In addition to volunteer training, these centers host themed events such as days of united action, educational activities, and motivational events.

The National Center "Russia" hosted a thematic session, "Platform of the Future: 100 Russian Projects. Construction," during which Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin presented key projects under the national goal of "A Comfortable and Safe Living Environment."

"The Spatial Development Strategy of Russia to 2030, with a forecast to 2036, defines the foundations of the country's growth and the principles of territorial development. Its main goal is to create a unified, balanced system linking all regions and communities. To ensure a comprehensive approach to this work, the national project "Infrastructure for Life" was approved. It covers all infrastructure necessary for a comfortable life for citizens. Significant work has already been accomplished, but much remains to be done. 2,160 support points have been identified. These include not only urban agglomerations and administrative centers, but also small towns and rural communities. Priority areas have been identified, which will be used to evaluate improvements in the quality of life. This era of change has demonstrated our ability to quickly adapt to change, so we will continue to confidently move toward our goals as a well-coordinated team," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

According to Marat Khusnullin, a key element of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project is the development of housing construction. By 2030, the plan is to renew the housing stock by a third, constructing 663 million square meters of new housing and achieving a national average of 0.82 square meters per person. By 2025, the plan is to commission over 100 million square meters of housing.

Development of the core road network—the busiest and most socially significant routes—continues. Key transport corridors are being developed, including the "Russia" route, the Europe-Western China route, and the "North-South" route, which includes the Azov Ring Road.

Implementing the socioeconomic development program for the reunited regions is also a priority. Since 2022, construction and reconstruction of nearly 24,000 facilities has been completed. Two to three dozen new social, utility, and infrastructure facilities are being commissioned weekly.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted the extensive work being done to implement projects in education and culture. The country's largest world-class cultural clusters are being created in four cities—Vladivostok, Kemerovo, Kaliningrad, and Sevastopol. A number of projects have already been completed. For example, a new building for the Museum of the World Ocean, "Planet Ocean," has opened in Kaliningrad; the restoration of the Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory building in St. Petersburg has been completed; and last year, the new building of the Tretyakov Gallery on Kadashevskaya Embankment opened in Moscow.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev took part in an extended joint meeting of three relevant State Duma committees. The event was held in preparation for a government hour on the topic of "Development of modern production and advanced processing technologies in the agro-industrial complex as the basis for Russia's food security and food accessibility for the population."

The meeting was attended by the chairs of the State Duma Committees on Agriculture, Vladimir Kashin; Control, Oleg Morozov; Industry and Trade, Vladimir Gutenev; the heads of the Ministry of Agriculture, Oksana Lut; and the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Anton Alikhanov; the head of the Federal Antimonopoly Service, Maxim Shaskolsky; and representatives of Rosselkhoznadzor, the Federal Agency for Fisheries, and the Accounts Chamber.

Participants discussed issues of supplying the domestic market with products, implementing the national project "Technological Support for Food Security," improving the regulatory framework for the industry, and developing rural areas.

The event also reviewed the current situation in the agricultural sector, including the progress of the harvest campaign. To date, Russian farmers have harvested 137 million tons of grain in bunker weight, nearly 10 million tons higher than last year. Other crops are also expected to see relatively strong results, with some expected to reach record levels.

The situation remains normal in the livestock farming, finished goods production and fisheries sectors.

Dmitry Patrushev thanked the parliament for their special attention to the priority areas of work in the agro-industrial complex. The Deputy Prime Minister noted that the draft federal budget for a three-year period is currently under discussion. Following the first reading, over 540 billion rubles have been allocated for the agro-industrial complex for 2026. This will ensure the preservation of support instruments and the continued stable development of the industry.

M. Mishustin: "The President has set the goal of increasing the share of electronic products from Russian companies in the domestic market to 70% over the next five years. As a reminder, based on last year's results, it already stood at approximately 53%." and the electronics industry, October 28, 2025

The measures taken by the President and the Government provide significant support to the industry in the face of external sanctions. First and foremost, our main tools are subsidies for the development and production of new products. Also worth mentioning are the programs of the Industrial Development Fund and the cluster investment platform.

We help companies launch scientific research, which is primarily necessary for developing their own solutions. We create the conditions for expanding and upgrading factory capacities and increasing the level of automation on production lines.

Overall, over the past five years, more than half a trillion rubles of budget funds have been allocated for these purposes. As a reminder, the draft federal budget for the next three years allocates another 250 billion rubles. Furthermore, we haven't included private investment, which is currently planned for projects in this area.

At the same time, one of the significant factors is the industry growth indicators that we have recorded over the past few years.

Of course, we also need to develop additional incentives to attract businesses to participate in these complex, knowledge-intensive projects.

The President has set the goal of increasing the share of electronic products from Russian companies in the domestic market to 70% over the next five years. As a reminder, last year's figures already stood at approximately 53%.

To achieve this goal, we must focus our efforts on developing breakthrough technologies and infrastructure for the production of a wide range of electronic products.

We need to pay special attention to scaling our existing platforms for mass production of component bases. We also need to work very hard on demand. Demand is also a very complex industry challenge today.

Our next step is to develop the production of microcircuits using modern topological standards.

Dear colleagues!

I propose today that we discuss what additional solutions are needed to support the electronics industry to increase the level of localization of equipment used in key sectors of our economy. And, I repeat, this is crucial – ensuring guaranteed demand for Russian integrated electronics products.

"Next year, the 'Travel!' forum will be held for the sixth time. It will take place from June 10th to 14th in Moscow at VDNKh. The forum's main goal is to showcase the tourism potential of all Russian regions, the variety of available recreational activities, and develop special offers for residents. Based on a government decree, this year's forum has been granted international status. The invitation campaign has already begun. In addition to representatives from our 89 regions, we expect the participation of foreign delegations," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

Following the meeting, the dates and venue for the 2026 International Tourism Forum "Travel!" were approved. The forum will take place from June 10–14 at VDNKh and, as is traditional, will coincide with Russia Day (June 12). The business program will run from June 10–12, with June 12 being Youth Day. The forum's main theme is "Hospitality Culture: Expanding Boundaries and Strengthening Ties."

"Tourism and hospitality are not just a sector of the economy, but a driver of national development. Every traveler contributes to achieving an important goal: by 2030, the number of trips within Russia should reach 140 million, and the tourism industry's share of GDP should reach 5%. Developing domestic tourism is the path to a strong economy. Through hospitality and travel, we achieve our national development goals, and the international forum 'Travel!' demonstrates how travel unites people and strengthens the country," noted Anton Kobyakov.

The key events of the 2026 International Tourism Forum "Travel!" will include a plenary session, an all-Russian conference on tourism development, a business dialogue with the Russian Minister of Economic Development, and meetings of working groups and subcommittees of the intergovernmental commissions on tourism. Additional events will include award ceremonies, meetings with international partners, and information tours. Particular attention will be paid to promoting the forum internationally, developing a program for foreign buyers, and synchronizing information tours under the national brand Discover Russia.

"The concept of the future forum is based on moving from plans to showcasing actual achievements. We're focusing on practical results: we'll showcase new tourism products and locations that have already been created and are ready to welcome guests. Our goal is not just to talk about, but to clearly demonstrate the competitiveness of the domestic tourism market. In 2026, the forum will significantly expand its scope. We'll expand not only the scope of the business program but also the physical space of the event. The "Cosmos" and "Atom" pavilions, as well as a completely renovated square, will be used, creating a large-scale business platform for showcasing the potential of Russian companies," said Dmitry Vakhrukov.

He also noted that a clear schedule for the forum's preparations has now been approved: the main theme will be determined by the end of November, and the full program architecture will be made public in December. The forum's final business program will be published no later than April 15 of next year.

The International Tourism Forum "Travel!" remains a key platform for discussing strategic issues in tourism and hospitality development, combining business, exhibition, and festival programs and promoting the tourism potential of Russia's regions domestically and internationally.

A press conference was held at TASS to summarize the 66th summer work season of the Russian Student Brigades (RSB). The event was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova, Minister of Labor and Social Protection Anton Kotyakov, Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov, Deputy Head of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs Yegor Litvinenko, Governor of Krasnoyarsk Krai Mikhail Kotyukov, and Head (Commander) of the Central Headquarters of the Russian Student Brigades Yaroslav Zubashchenko.

"Over the organization's long history, more than 20 million people have participated in student brigades. This is a significant figure that underscores the importance of RSOs for young people, society, and the country as a whole. Today, it is an integral part of our progress and the achievement of the national goals outlined by the head of state. Against the backdrop of a labor shortage, young people represent the country's primary labor force. 1.3 million young people will enter the labor market annually between now and 2032. Therefore, it is important for us that young people receive professional affirmation and are successful in it, and Russian Student Brigades should become the primary career guidance school for young people," commented Tatyana Golikova.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that this year, RSO participants worked on 49 all-Russian labor projects in Russia and internationally – in Belarus, Turkey, Egypt, India, and Bangladesh.

Thanks to the Russian Student Brigades initiative, opportunities are being created for teenagers to find employment during school breaks and weekends. Fifty thousand schoolchildren and students have already gained their first work experience.

This year, for the first time, a work project for teenagers at Russian Railways achieved nationwide status. Over 200 teenagers from 25 regions of the country joined teams to help ensure comfort for millions of passengers during the holiday season.

In Alabuga, where the nationwide project for teenagers is in its second year, a Russian record was set for employment of teenagers and construction students working within the economic zone. Over the summer, 954 teenagers from 41 regions of the country gained their first professional experience in Alabuga.

"We're currently experiencing a real battle for personnel when it comes to student brigades. Previously, students would often leave for other regions, but now governors are making a concerted effort to ensure students stay and work at facilities in their home regions," added Tatyana Golikova.

The student medical team is one of the most dynamically developing areas within the Russian student team movement, the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized. During the 2025 summer season, more than 15,000 students worked as part of these teams. The All-Russian Student Medical Team "Parma" brought together over 300 medical students from Russia, Belarus, and Kyrgyzstan.

On Youth Day, the largest multi-format student group space in Russia, "SO.Zdanie," opened in Arkhangelsk.

The new bridge across the Ob River and the southern bypass of Surgut has been named the "Obi Star" All-Russian student project, and the student teams' contribution to this project has been recognized by the President.

Student teams actively participate in volunteer events and humanitarian missions. This tradition continues during the Year of the Defender of the Fatherland, declared by the President. This year, an all-Russian team of the RSO Snow Landing Forces—the Victory Landing Force—was formed. More than 20,000 schoolchildren and students from across the country participated, noted Tatyana Golikova.

Student brigades maintain strong friendships with young people from Belarus. This year, the first Union State rally was held, bringing together over 100 young people from Russia and Belarus. This practice is being expanded, and next year, the number of participants is planned to increase to 200.

A major conference, "Priority – Technological Leadership," was held in Moscow to mark the fifth anniversary of the "Priority-2030" program of state support for Russian universities. This program was launched in 2021 at the initiative of the Ministry of Education and Science. In February 2024, President Vladimir Putin noted in his Address to the Federal Assembly that the program will be extended.

The program's main goal is to transform universities into centers of scientific, technological, and socioeconomic development for the country. Universities are shifting from addressing personnel needs to focusing on research and innovation.

Opening the discussion "Technological Leadership Universities: Challenges and Solutions," First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov described the work of engineering centers, the program for which was launched in 2013. This step has allowed universities to establish sustainable ties with the real economy.

"If we look at the figures, the total funding from the Ministry of Education and Science and the Ministry of Industry and Trade for the entire period was less than 10 billion rubles. And the combined revenue of these engineering centers, which operate in 39 regions at technical universities—71 of which have already been established—was over 70 billion rubles. In other words, the government's investment has already paid for itself a hundredfold. And the work isn't over yet; progress continues," the First Deputy Prime Minister stated.

He also noted that when the next round of sanctions against Russia was imposed in 2022, specialists who had already gained sufficient experience working in engineering centers proved to be unique and in demand thanks to reverse engineering. "In other words, timely equipment procurement and the established foundations enabled reverse engineering to save many companies in the industry," Denis Manturov said.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko also spoke at the conference.

"According to President Vladimir Putin's instructions, science spending should increase to 2% of GDP by 2030. According to the Ministry of Economic Development, Russia's nominal GDP will reach 312 trillion rubles by 2030. A simple mathematical calculation: 2% of this amount is 6.2 trillion rubles. This is a colossal figure. It is assumed that approximately 3.5 trillion will be budgetary funds, and extra-budgetary funds should increase by 4.5 times," he stated.

The Deputy Prime Minister reported that civilian R&D conducted with public funds has been digitized in the "Science and Innovation" domain. Services sought after by both researchers and businesses are being created there. He noted the need to improve the ability of research organizations and universities to fulfill R&D orders while taking customer requirements into account as one of the challenges facing universities. "Your task is to become drivers of scientific and technological growth, personnel training, and the development of scientific and technological competencies. These, as well as talented specialists, are already available. Properly structuring this work, identifying bottlenecks, and focusing on technological partners, especially in the region, is, of course, the key to success," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

Minister of Education and Science Valery Falkov named three main effects of universities' participation in the Priority program.

"The main result is that universities have changed their understanding of themselves and their role in the economy and social sphere. Universities are adopting best corporate management practices, and businesses are now working with them differently," the minister noted.

The second result, the Minister of Education and Science cited, was the unprecedented involvement of businesses and regions in the "Priority" program. Of the 144 billion rubles allocated by the state for the program's implementation over five years, universities attracted 196.8 billion rubles from industry and business, while the regions contributed 19.9 billion rubles. Furthermore, governors note that universities are increasingly becoming key players in the socioeconomic development of their regions.

The third result is the emergence of universities in the country that have truly become universities of technological leadership. These are the universities that transform ideas into concrete products, technologies, and businesses. And industries view them as universities capable of actively participating in technological development.

The addition of Gazprombank as a strategic partner in 2025 strengthened the program and allowed it to attract investment into university projects, not just commissioned R&D. This confirms the viability of the new investment funding logic (adopted in 2025). Gazprombank also announced a grant program to support university technology projects worth 150 million rubles for 2026.

It should be noted that more than 2,000 industrial partners are currently actively participating in the program's implementation, along with universities. These include the state corporations Roscosmos, Rostec, Rosatom, Gazprom, and Russian Railways.

"Priority" is the largest program aimed at developing universities. It involves 141 universities from 56 regions, including medical, pedagogical, transport, military, and creative arts universities. More than 400 consortia and other associations have been created. 1.3 million students are enrolled at participating universities.

The program includes a track for universities in the Far East with special grant conditions. Fourteen universities are participating, partly to address the issue of stemming migration outflow. Student enrollment at universities in the Far East increased from 15,500 in 2022 to 35,400 in 2024. Five universities are part of a separate track for creative universities.

Key figures:

— 30.2 billion rubles have been allocated from the federal budget for the implementation of development programs in 2025.

— Almost every second full-time student—more than 1.3 million people—studies and creates new technological solutions at Priority universities.

— During the program's implementation, more than 500 new laboratories were opened at universities, and more than 1,500 new educational programs were launched.

"Priority" is being implemented in 56 regions, with regional universities accounting for 71%. This program addresses the problem of youth outflow from the regions to larger cities such as Moscow and St. Petersburg.

A significant result was the quality of employment for graduates of Priority universities: on average, they receive a starting salary 13.4% higher than graduates of other universities in their region.

As a reminder, starting this year, Priority has embarked on a course toward technological leadership, necessitating a complete overhaul of university development programs. Each participating university included in its development program up to three strategic technology projects, planned for implementation by 2030 and with a long-term horizon of 2036. As a result, more than 280 strategic technology projects were planned across nine priority areas of technological leadership.

Top 5 main project topics:

– biomedical technologies,

– microelectronics and photonics,

– new materials with specified properties,

— transport for various applications,

– new and traditional energy.

Universities participating in the "Prioritize" program are becoming hubs for generating breakthrough technologies, meeting points for science, business, and the government. Collaborating with industrial and technological partners, they are creating their own venture funds and technology parks and implementing new practice-oriented programs, which is one of the three key principles of higher education reform in Russia. "Prioritize" is the largest state program for university support in modern Russian history and is being implemented as part of the "Youth and Children" national project.
