Marat Khusnullin: Another U-turn loop will be built on the Adler bypass.

The government continues its systematic work to create a reliable road infrastructure for the country. This includes the Adler bypass project. Specialists are now beginning preparatory work for its fifth stage, which has received a positive approval. This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"A well-designed road transport system is a prerequisite for improving socio-economic indicators. Therefore, road network modernization efforts are among the country's top strategic development priorities. This large-scale project includes the construction of the Adler bypass. We are now beginning preparatory work for the fifth stage, for which the Glavgosexpertiza agency has issued a positive assessment. This stage will include the construction of a turnaround loop, running as an overpass over the existing A-147 highway near the Kudepsta sanatorium. It will serve as a left-turn ramp for those exiting the Adler bypass tunnel from Krasnaya Polyana and intending to travel toward Sirius along the A-147 highway, as well as for those who need to access the Adler bypass or turn around when traveling from the Kudepsta microdistrict and adjacent areas of Adler," said Marat Khusnullin.

The overpass, with a total length of 368 meters, will be supported by seven supports, and retaining walls will be built to provide access to it.

According to Vyacheslav Petushenko, Chairman of the Board of the state-owned company Avtodor, after the facility is completed, drivers will no longer have to re-route along the A-147 to the existing turnaround in Khosta, creating additional pressure on the road network.

"With the launch of this facility, drivers will be able to quickly and safely change direction. Currently, the U-turn onto the A-147 near Khosta passes through dense urban development and increases travel time by up to half an hour during rush hour. The construction of a new U-turn loop as part of the Adler bypass will significantly improve traffic conditions," noted Vyacheslav Petushenko.

Every year, Road Workers' Day is celebrated in Russia on the third Sunday of October. Thousands of people are currently employed in this sector. These specialists participate in the planning, design, construction, repair, and operation of highways and their associated structures. This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"Russia's road industry is making steady progress: our roads are becoming safer, more comfortable, and more modern. However, much remains to be done. As part of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project, we are undertaking large-scale road renovation and construction across the country. President Vladimir Putin is paying close attention to these issues. Ahead of the holiday, he launched three major road projects. "Thanks in large part to systematic and coordinated work, we are 29% ahead of last year in the road sector. These achievements would not have been possible without the professionalism, dedication, and commitment of thousands of road workers—people who daily lay the foundation for regional development and connect the entire country into a unified transportation network. Today, the road sector unites over 10,000 organizations and approximately 750,000 specialists. Overall, we plan to build and repair approximately 28,000 km of roads by the end of the year. I am confident that a strong team of like-minded individuals is capable of tackling the most complex challenges and achieving ambitious goals," said Marat Khusnullin.

To successfully develop the country's road infrastructure, qualified specialists are essential, so special attention is being paid to improving the qualifications of road construction workers.

"The effective operation and development of the road sector requires a high level of professionalism from those involved in this sector. Therefore, increased attention is being paid to continuing education and retraining. As of early October of this year, 3,100 road sector employees have completed continuing professional education programs. Gaining new competencies will undoubtedly have a positive impact on their performance," noted Transport Minister Andrei Nikitin.

This year, the professional holiday – Road Workers Day – is celebrated in our country for the 25th time.

"This year could be called a milestone. A quarter of a century ago, Decree No. 556 of the President of the Russian Federation established our professional holiday – Road Workers' Day, celebrated on the third Sunday in October. Previously, before 2000, it was called Automobile Transport and Road Workers' Day, and the fact that road workers now have their own holiday demonstrates the recognition of our work at the highest level. We are proud that many road workers come from working families, and that our companies carefully preserve the tradition of continuity, which allows us to maintain a high level of skill within the team. At the same time, we are mastering and implementing modern technologies, and applying innovative solutions. A close-knit team of professionals is capable of overcoming any challenges and successfully achieving the tasks set, the most important of which is improving the quality of life for Russians," noted Roman Novikov, Head of the Federal Road Agency.

Dmitry Grigorenko: The administrative burden on businesses remains at a record low even after the moratorium on inspections was lifted.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Since the beginning of 2025, inspectors have conducted 201,000 inspections across Russia. This is 5,000 fewer inspections than during the same period last year, when the moratorium was still in effect. Moreover, 44,000 of these were inspections of state facilities and social institutions. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko at the All-Russian Forum of Inspection Bodies – 2025 in Krasnoyarsk.

"The moratorium on inspections ended in 2025. By that time, we have fully transitioned control and oversight to a risk-based approach. Inspectors conduct scheduled inspections only at extremely high-risk and high-risk facilities. Mandatory preventive visits are conducted for facilities with lower risk categories. As a result, the administrative burden on businesses in Russia has remained at the level of recent years. Inspections, in their classic sense, have decreased by 5.5 times compared to 2019. At the same time, citizen safety remains at an adequate level," commented Dmitry Grigorenko.

Today, inspectors don't necessarily need to visit the inspected facility to obtain information about potential violations. Large volumes of data are accumulated in various government information systems. In 2025, inspectors began using artificial intelligence technologies in their work to quickly and accurately analyze this data. Risk indicators that will be powered by AI have already been selected. These risk indicators represent a set of data about the inspected facility. If this data deviates from the norm, it signals the need for an unscheduled inspection. Artificial intelligence will help inspectors continuously monitor the status of this data.

Following the session, Dmitry Grigorenko tasked the controllers with implementing AI in at least three departmental information systems.

The Deputy Prime Minister also outlined the minimum scope of inspection and oversight activities that each agency must conduct using unmanned aerial vehicles. Currently, the ability to conduct inspections using unmanned aerial vehicles is legally mandated for such types of inspections as land inspection, construction supervision, public works inspection, and hunting inspection. At least 10% of these activities must be conducted in 2026 using unmanned aerial vehicles. In the first nine months of 2025, 400 inspections and nearly 3,000 preventative measures were conducted in Russia using drones.

Dmitry Grigorenko also reported that a legislative provision is being prepared that will allow inspectors to use data obtained using UAVs as a separate basis for conducting unscheduled inspections.

As part of his trip to Krasnoyarsk Krai, Dmitry Grigorenko visited the region's multifunctional center for state and municipal services.

"We're currently consolidating government services at the federal and regional levels based on the 'life situations' principle. This way, people can resolve any issue they may have in a comprehensive and immediate manner. This makes government services simpler and faster—by about 30% on average," said Dmitry Grigorenko.

As an example of such a service, one of the new "real-life situations"—"Protection from Online Fraudsters"—was tested. The service combines a range of protection measures, including all the anti-fraud tools available on the government services portal, including self-prohibition of loans, new SIM cards, the ability to check your credit history, or information about a suspicious call. It also provides detailed instructions, such as what to do if you share your password with scammers, and other recommendations to help you avoid being scammed.

Dmitry Grigorenko emphasized that since the launch of the "Life Situation" service, more than 2 million Russians have used it to protect themselves from fraud.

One of the most popular "life situation" services is the registration of a self-ban on loans and credits. Since September 1, this procedure has been available not only online but also in person at MFC branches. According to the Deputy Prime Minister, over 16 million citizens have already established such a self-ban.

Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin chaired a meeting of the Presidium (Headquarters) of the Government Commission on Regional Development. Participants discussed the implementation of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project, cash execution issues for programs, and reviewed regional applications for project financing using treasury infrastructure loans (TILs).

"Following the President's instructions, systematic monitoring of housing construction in the regions continues. As of October 1, 2025, 76.57 million square meters of housing had been commissioned. Urban development potential has increased to 471 million square meters. The volume of housing under construction has increased to 120 million square meters. It is essential to maintain this pace and ensure the commissioning of over 100 million square meters of housing this year. Road construction is also showing positive momentum. Overall, key national targets are being met on schedule. Contractual discipline under state programs is a key issue, as it determines the timely completion of all planned projects. With little time left until the end of the year, the regions are faced with the task of ensuring the full utilization of allocated funds," said Marat Khusnullin.

In terms of achieving key performance indicators, Marat Khusnullin noted the high results of the Saratov and Penza regions, the republics of Tatarstan, Adygea, Buryatia, Mordovia, and the Chechen Republic.

Following a review of regional applications for project financing using treasury infrastructure loans, projects were approved in Kursk Oblast, Krasnodar Krai, and the Republic of Buryatia.

"The use of treasury infrastructure loans opens up additional opportunities for the implementation of socially significant projects in the regions. We continue to actively review regional funding applications so they can begin work quickly. Today, the headquarters approved applications from Kursk Oblast, Krasnodar Krai, and the Republic of Buryatia totaling 15.62 billion rubles. These are 12 projects, including 14 facilities. The funds from the treasury infrastructure loans will be used to modernize housing and utilities systems, transport infrastructure projects, and public amenities," noted Marat Khusnullin.

Specifically, the Kursk Region will receive a treasury infrastructure loan of 2.63 billion rubles to modernize public utilities in the Bolshesoldatsky, Khomutovsky, and Rylsky districts.

Additionally, 2.25 billion rubles will be allocated to the Republic of Buryatia for the reconstruction of the Tyi water intake in Severobaikalsk, repair of emergency sewers and external networks, and improvement of public spaces in Ulan-Ude. Furthermore, major repairs to tram tracks and reconstruction of the runway at Nizhneangarsk Airport in the Severobaikalsky District are planned.

In the Krasnodar region, a main sewer collector is planned to be built in the city of Krasnodar using KIK funds totaling 10.74 billion rubles.

First Deputy Minister of Construction, Housing and Utilities Alexander Lomakin reported on the financing of integrated territorial development projects (ITD) using subsidies from the federal budget.

"Thanks to the President's decision, regions with low budgetary capacity, as well as entities for which individual socio-economic development programs are being developed, can receive direct subsidies for the construction of facilities under the KRT. Currently, 19 regions have begun contracting, and 14 have already fully completed this process. Regional authorities are allocating funds for the construction or reconstruction of infrastructure facilities, as well as for connecting facilities to utility networks," noted Alexander Lomakin.

The Russian Ministry of Construction oversees the Treasury Infrastructure Loan Program, and the Territorial Development Fund participates in its implementation.

"The KIK mechanism was launched as a continuation of the infrastructure budget loan program, which has proven effective in addressing regional development challenges. The funds, provided on favorable terms—at 3% interest for 15 years—are used to implement projects that are important to people. To date, applications under the KIK program have been approved for 82 regions, totaling 333.75 billion rubles. Most of the funds will be used to upgrade public utility infrastructure," noted Vasily Kupyzin, CEO of the Territorial Development Fund.

At the headquarters meeting, the regional leaders also discussed infrastructure restoration in the DPR, LPR, and the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions. The Deputy Prime Minister instructed that work on preparations for the autumn-winter period and on educational facilities be completed as soon as possible.

The plenary session of the Russian Energy Week 2025 forum, titled "Creating the Energy of the Future Together," became the key event of the program, defining strategic guidelines for the development of the Russian fuel and energy sector through 2050. The industry, which has maintained its leading position despite sanctions pressure, is demonstrating resilience, the ability to mobilize technologically, and is shaping a new investment cycle, relying on domestic resources and international partnerships.

Russian President Vladimir Putin outlined the key guidelines for the development of global and domestic energy. The main trend is the reconfiguration of global energy connections towards the countries of the global South against the backdrop of the breakdown of the previous architecture. Russia retains its status as one of the leading oil producers: by the end of the year, production of about 510 million tons is expected under the OPEC+ agreement. Gas exports are diversifying through new directions, including LNG, with an increase in domestic consumption and active gasification – about 100 thousand km of networks have been built – the gasification level has reached 74.7%. In the electric power industry (270 GW of installed capacity), the priorities are eliminating deficits, developing networks and launching new stations without increasing the tariff burden on consumers. The Russian energy balance remains green: 87% of generation comes from sources with a minimal carbon footprint. Rosatom is strengthening its leadership by implementing plans to commission over 29 GW of nuclear power generation, including small nuclear power plants. The growth in demand from the digital economy (data center, AI) is expected to be ensured by local generation. Particular attention is paid to technological sovereignty – import substitution in oil and gas equipment and the formation of cooperation with partners in BRICS and the global South. The coal market, despite its cyclical nature, will retain a significant role for decades to come, especially with the growth of business activity in the Asia-Pacific region. Now the industry is experiencing a decline in prices, so the state is supporting companies and teams, including loan restructuring. At the same time, coal miners need to increase efficiency and competitiveness. The goal is to create a fair, predictable and sustainable energy order in which Russia strengthens its position as a global leader. “It is especially important to effectively manage the production and reserves of resources, ensure the technological and environmental development of the industry in order to supply the domestic market, achieve national development goals, and also fulfill external agreements. We have always done this, we are doing this and, of course, we will do this – this is one of our absolute priorities,” the President said.

The main topic of discussion was an explanation of the points of the 2050 Energy Strategy, including directions for modernization and digitalization of the industry, as well as strengthening the country's technological sovereignty.

Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak noted that the Energy Strategy 2050 sets out key tasks: ensuring energy security, developing the domestic market, improving the quality of petroleum products, gasifying regions and creating balanced fuel and energy balances. The second priority is the preservation and increase of export potential, which today amounts to about 17% of the entire resource base, including supplies of coal and liquefied natural gas. “The main technological goal is the transition from import substitution to leadership: by 2028, Russia should achieve 90% technological independence and reach a level of competitiveness in key segments. By 2035, it is planned to completely digitalize the energy sector, introduce artificial intelligence and digital twins, and the energy efficiency of the industry should increase by 40% by 2050,” said Alexander Novak. General Director of Rosatom State Corporation Alexey Likhachev emphasized that the Russian nuclear industry has unique full-cycle competencies – from development to operation of facilities, and nuclear energy is becoming the “supporting structure” of the global energy balance. More than 110 power units of Russian design have already been implemented, including abroad, and small nuclear power plants will become part of the energy system of Siberia and the Far East. General Director of Gazprom Neft PJSC Alexander Dyukov noted that global demand for oil is growing due to the countries of the global South, petrochemicals and aviation, and Russia has all the resources to increase production while simultaneously developing its own developments. Within the industry, 77 priority technologies have already been developed jointly with the Ministry of Energy.

Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov outlined the need to transition to a project economy: “With rising rates and limited external sources of capital, it is important to ensure the continuity of program implementation, improve regulatory mechanisms and distribute the tariff burden between producers and consumers,” explained the Minister of Economic Development. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin noted that the metropolis has already gone from an energy-intensive model to an efficient one: 90% of the capital’s transport runs on electric power, and the digital economy has become one of the largest consumers of energy. Moscow is implementing a unified city energy management system that combines data from producers to consumers. General Director of Rosseti Andrey Ryumin, in turn, emphasized: “The growth in electricity consumption is associated with the development of AI and data centers – only in the Rosseti system their connected capacity exceeded 1 GW. Electric transport infrastructure is actively developing – more than 120 charging stations have already been introduced, and the growth rate will only increase.” Special Representative of the President of Russia on investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries, Kirill Dmitriev spoke about the fact that the global energy sector remains underinvested: with global investments of $3.3 trillion, investors are looking for predictability and reliability, and Russia meets these criteria, and therefore opens up investment potential. Examples of successful projects include “Power Siberia – 2″ and partnership programs with the Middle East on joint technological solutions. According to the participants, the key task for the coming years is sustainable energy development, reliable supply of the domestic market and strengthening competitiveness on global platforms. 

The transition from technology buyer to technology leader, the creation of a digital energy environment, the development of local generation to supply the digital economy, and the export of Russian technological solutions—these areas will form the foundation of the new cycle's energy policy. The REW-2025 plenary session confirmed that infrastructure reliability, technological independence, and the ability to develop ahead of schedule are becoming decisive factors for growth.
