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.

Marat Khusnullin chaired a meeting of the Government Commission on Road Safety.

Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin chaired a meeting of the Government Commission on Road Safety, where they summarized the results of their work for the first 10 months of 2025. The meeting also reviewed the implementation of the new Road Safety Improvement Strategy to 2030 and through 2036, approved by the President of Russia.

"Extensive, systemic work to ensure road safety is aimed at preserving the lives and health of our people. The President has set the goal of reducing the number of road fatalities by 1.5 times by 2030 and by 2036. The approved strategy sets new benchmarks for us. To implement it, we must develop an action plan that will include both proven tools and new systemic solutions. Despite the growing car ownership, traffic volume, and increased mobility, the country has maintained positive trends across key indicators in the first 10 months of 2025. The total number of road fatalities decreased by 3.6% compared to the same period last year. Road safety is a key focus of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project, so we must maintain the pace of work in this area," noted Marat Khusnullin.

Furthermore, fatalities in accidents involving oncoming traffic (-7.4%), pedestrian collisions (-6.7%), and drunk driving (-18.5%) decreased. The number of child fatalities in accidents decreased by 4.6%.

During the meeting, representatives from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Industry and Trade presented their proposals for implementing the strategy. These included improving road infrastructure, digitalization, increasing the efficiency of emergency services, developing a child injury prevention system, tightening vehicle safety requirements, and implementing modern driver assistance systems. A separate initiative was considered to expand the use of mobile devices for recording traffic violations on hazardous road sections, in response to regional requests.

Denis Manturov chaired a meeting of the State Border Commission.

First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov chaired a meeting of the State Border Commission. Representatives of the FSB Border Service, the Government Executive Office, the State Duma, the Security Council, and federal and regional executive authorities participated in the event.

Meeting participants discussed the progress of the pilot project to collect biometric data from foreign citizens entering Russia, the first phase of which began on December 1, 2024. The technology is being tested at Moscow International Airport (MIA) airports and at the Mashtakovo checkpoint in the Orenburg Region.

"Almost a year has passed since the launch of the first phase of the experiment. During this time, biometrics have identified more than 1,700 foreign citizens who were denied entry to our country. And at the end of June of this year, the second phase began, which allows foreign nationals to submit an entry application in advance using the RuID mobile app," said Denis Manturov.

The First Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that, given the positive results, the experiment needs to be scaled up to cover the majority of checkpoints.

The meeting also discussed the development and implementation of technologies to optimize state control procedures based on the smart checkpoint principle. Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered that the inspection time for freight vehicles at the state border be reduced to 10 minutes.

"To achieve these targets, a number of measures must be implemented, including the comprehensive modernization and refurbishment of checkpoints, the creation of a unified information environment for interaction between regulatory authorities and participants in the international supply chain, and the conversion of paper documents to digital form," Denis Manturov noted.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev held a meeting on obtaining integrated environmental permits (IEPs), which confirm compliance with environmental protection requirements or a company's plans to modernize its production. The event was attended by senior officials from the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Energy, and Rosprirodnadzor, as well as regional representatives.

"Since the beginning of 2025, about a thousand companies have received comprehensive environmental permits. To date, more than 3,600 enterprises have successfully completed this process. Rosprirodnadzor is currently reviewing another 152 applications. We need to gradually improve the level of environmental responsibility in businesses. Companies must smoothly transition from outdated and resource-intensive technologies to more modern ones," said Dmitry Patrushev.

On January 1 of this year, a law came into effect requiring large enterprises, including those operating in the industrial, fuel and energy sectors, housing and utilities, and agricultural enterprises that have a significant negative impact on the environment, to obtain comprehensive environmental permits. Failure to obtain these permits will result in a 100-fold increase in environmental impact fees, as well as fines, beginning in 2026.

Since September of this year, at the direction of the Deputy Prime Minister, representatives of Rosprirodnadzor have been conducting unscheduled inspections and preventive visits to enterprises that have not applied for IEPs. These visits will continue until the end of next year.

Dmitry Patrushev emphasized the need for outreach to businesses in the regions, as the economic well-being of the Russian Federation's constituent entities depends on the stability of their businesses. The Deputy Prime Minister tasked regional headquarters with monitoring the process and recommended holding them on a weekly basis, involving both businesses and Rosprirodnadzor departments. Federal agencies were instructed to "supervise" regions with low rates of obtaining IEP documents.

The transition to the new system began in 2019. To ensure a timely transition, training seminars and federal headquarters were held for businesses, and the permit processing time was halved. Soon, for the convenience of businesses, obtaining a comprehensive environmental permit will be possible through the government services portal.
