Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak opened the business day of the international conference "Journey into the World of Artificial Intelligence." Also participating in the opening ceremony was Alexander Vedyakhin, First Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Sberbank.

"The Russian economy is undergoing a period of transformation, searching for new growth opportunities. The President has approved ambitious national goals that affect all areas of life, including creating a comfortable environment, achieving sustainable economic development, and technological leadership, including digital transformation. New technologies in artificial intelligence are becoming the foundation for addressing these challenges, increasing the efficiency and innovation of the economy," emphasized Alexander Novak.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted the importance of implementing artificial intelligence to improve efficiency in public administration, the fuel and energy sector, industry, addressing the needs of small and medium-sized businesses, applying it to finance and transportation, and increasing labor productivity.

The government continues to actively support the development of AI technologies. Last year, the National Strategy for the Development of Artificial Intelligence was updated, aiming to make Russia a global leader in the use and development of artificial intelligence.

Alexander Novak emphasized that, in addition to a strong scientific and technological base, energy supply is a critical factor in the development of artificial intelligence. Therefore, the challenge is to reliably supply data centers with sufficient energy.

"A fundamental technological transformation is underway today. Experts note that the gap between companies actively implementing artificial intelligence and those lagging behind will only widen. Those who quickly restructure their processes and implement the 'human plus artificial intelligence' model will win," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

On the sidelines of the conference, Alexander Novak also visited an exhibition showcasing cutting-edge domestic developments and solutions in the field of artificial intelligence.

On November 19, the plenary session of the 27th World Russian People's Council, "For the 80th Anniversary of Victory. Defenders of the Fatherland: Military and Spiritual Feat," was held. His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus', representatives of government bodies, clergy, and other organizations addressed the session.

"This year, we celebrated one of the most important commemorative dates not only in Russian but also in world history—the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory. Therefore, our next council is dedicated to the defenders of the Fatherland, their military and spiritual feats. In this formulation, military and spiritual feats are not simply placed side by side, but are, as it were, equated. If you think about it, they are simply inseparable. The war heroes 'trampled death by death,' but they were resurrected not physically, but in the people's memory. That is why they write: 'Your feat is immortal,'" said His Holiness Patriarch Kirill.

He noted that it is necessary to preserve the memory of the victory over fascism, to eliminate any form of desecration of the memory of the victors over Nazism, to seek international sanctions against those states that pursue policies of ethnic, religious, and linguistic discrimination, and to develop clear legal standards for defining Nazism and neutralizing its manifestations.

Russian President Vladimir Putin sent a greeting to the participants and guests of the 27th World Russian People's Council. It was read by First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office Sergei Kiriyenko.

"I warmly welcome the participants and guests of the 27th World Russian People's Council. For over a quarter of a century, it has brought together representatives of government bodies and religious organizations, numerous political parties and movements, entrepreneurs, educators, cultural figures, and scientists to discuss key issues concerning the development of Russia and the Russian World. These include strengthening social unity and traditional spiritual and moral values, addressing demographic challenges, and fostering patriotic education among youth. And, of course, your sincere support for our heroes—the participants in the special military operation and their families—deserves special respect," the Russian President noted in his welcoming address.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko read a welcoming address from Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin: "The Council is being held in the year of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory. It is symbolic that its main theme is dedicated to this most important anniversary for our country. The Great Patriotic War is one of the heroic and simultaneously tragic pages in our history, in the lives of millions of people. The memory of the heroism of the soldiers who crushed fascism serves as a moral support, helping us confront modern challenges. We are proud of the courage and bravery of the soldiers participating in the special military operation today. Their unity, solidarity, and love for their homeland exemplify the deep connection between generations and are the main spiritual and moral compass for society."

The Deputy Prime Minister expressed gratitude to His Holiness Patriarch Kirill for his personal example of service and prayer, which inspires millions of people in Russia: "In your person, the Government of the Russian Federation has tremendous support in educating the younger generation in a spirit of respect for the history, culture, and traditions of their homeland, and responsibility for its future. May the Lord protect you!"

Greetings to the participants and guests of the XXVII World Russian People's Council were also sent by the Chairperson of the Federation Council Valentina Matviyenko, the Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin, the Chairman of the Supreme Court Igor Krasnov, and others.

Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev attended the opening ceremony of the renovated air cargo and passenger checkpoint across the Russian Federation's state border at Vnukovo International Airport, as well as the launch of traffic on two main tracks on the North Caucasus Railway section from the Kirillovsky checkpoint to Nizhny Park.

The event was held via videoconference as part of the international forum "Transport of Russia." The Deputy Prime Minister congratulated all participants on the opening ceremony and thanked them for their work.

The opening of the new automated checkpoint underscores the airport's commitment to innovation and high service standards. Furthermore, the completion of the modernization of the Vnukovo air checkpoint is an important step toward creating a modern and efficient transport infrastructure in Russia.

The launch of traffic on two main tracks on the North Caucasus Railway section from the Kirillovsky checkpoint to Nizhny Park is part of a major infrastructure project to develop the Novorossiysk transport hub, which is being modernized under the "Efficient Transport System" national project. Construction workers have laid 6 kilometers of track, built four overpasses, and constructed three bridges. This will eliminate bottlenecks on the approaches to the Novorossiysk port. Upon completion of the entire project, the throughput capacity of the Novorossiysk transport hub will increase to 43 million tons per year.

Vitaly Savelyev also inspected the stands of Russian transport companies participating in the exhibition.

By the end of 2023–2024, the Russian economy demonstrated one of the highest growth rates in the past decade, increasing by a cumulative 8.4%. In nominal terms, the country's GDP has doubled since 2020, reaching 200 trillion rubles. GDP growth, amounting to 4.1% in 2023 and 4.3% in 2024, significantly exceeds the global average and the growth rates of leading Western economies. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak announced this during a speech as part of the "Platform of the Future: 100 Russian Projects. Economy" project, held at the National Center "Russia."

According to him, the foundation for the transition to a new model of long-term growth based on supply-side economics is targeted support for domestic production, increased investment activity, and increased labor productivity.

"We see that the Russian economy is not only demonstrating resilience but also achieving profound structural changes. The doubling of nominal GDP, record growth rates, and reduced dependence on the raw materials sector are the most important results of our work in recent years," said Alexander Novak.

To consolidate this success and achieve the national goal of maintaining fourth place in the world in terms of GDP based on purchasing power parity (PPP) and achieving sustainable growth rates above the global average by 2030, a comprehensive strategy has been developed, the Deputy Prime Minister noted. It includes three key areas. The first is adapting to systemic challenges, such as historically low unemployment, a shortage of skilled labor, ensuring technological sovereignty, and ongoing sanctions pressure. The second is the effective allocation of resources and investment in the context of limited budget expenditures, with a focus on high-growth sectors: mechanical engineering, chemicals, high technology, and tourism. The third is increasing labor productivity through large-scale optimization, robotics, and the implementation of lean manufacturing methods.

"Our strategy is long-term. Economic growth will directly depend on businesses' ability to identify new growth areas, improve efficiency, and unlock potential in promising niches. The foundation we've laid will enable us to embark on a trajectory of high-quality and dynamic development," noted Alexander Novak.

The discussion focused on strategic areas for Russian economic development. Specifically, the Deputy Prime Minister highlighted key support measures for small and medium-sized businesses, including preferential lending and leasing instruments, umbrella guarantees, microloans, and accessible infrastructure for industrial and technology parks.

Small technology companies have become one of the fastest-growing sectors. Thanks to the register model, companies have access to approximately 20 support measures, allowing them to grow at a faster rate than the SME sector as a whole.

Improving labor productivity is also a prerequisite for long-term economic growth, Alexander Novak noted. The implementation of lean manufacturing tools enabled businesses participating in these projects to increase profits by nearly 0.5 trillion rubles.

Special economic zones, which celebrated their 20th anniversary this year, are driving regional development. Thanks to established infrastructure and incentives, investors save up to half their capital costs, reducing their tax burden.

High added value is the key characteristic of the creative economy. Over the past seven years, the creative sector in Russia has grown four times faster than the overall economy. Its share of GDP now exceeds 4%. The industry's potential lies in developing a supply-side economy, which will accelerate structural change and the achievement of national goals.

"Long-term economic growth will be determined by effective collaboration between regional authorities and businesses, where regions act not as distributors but as growth managers, businesses accelerate technological transformation and the restructuring of supply chains, and the state ensures a breakthrough in social productivity through investments in human capital," Alexander Novak concluded.

Implementation of integrated territorial development projects (ITD) continues in Russian regions. This tool allows for the renovation of residential areas and the creation of essential social, transport, and utility infrastructure, announced Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"Russian regions tasked with improving the living environment under the national project 'Infrastructure for Living' have the opportunity to use the integrated territorial development mechanism for these purposes, among other things. More and more regions are joining this effort. Currently, approximately 1,200 ITR projects, covering an area of almost 24,300 hectares, are in the active implementation phase. Their urban development potential amounts to almost 185 million square meters of real estate, including 138.7 million square meters of housing. Considering the effectiveness of this instrument, at the instruction of the President, the Government is providing targeted support to a number of regions, providing direct subsidies for infrastructure construction within the framework of integrated territorial development projects. And there are already some results: the first facility in Russia has been commissioned under this program. Thanks to a subsidy allocated to the Kirov Region, the construction of a four-lane road in Kirov has been completed. Moreover, the section of the street was paved ahead of schedule – in four months instead of the planned nine. Overall, this ITR project includes the construction of over 131,000 square meters of housing, as well as “construction of a school and a kindergarten,” said Marat Khusnullin.

The new road runs along Anzheliya Mikheeva Street from Sloboda Urvantsevo to Kapitana Pletnyova Street in Kirov's Leninsky District. Its commissioning has improved accessibility to new areas of the city.

"Construction of this section of the street was carried out as part of the national project 'Infrastructure for Life.' The new road meets all modern requirements for comfort and safety for all road users: sidewalks and modern bicycle and pedestrian paths have been installed on both sides of the road, two public transport stops have been installed, and a traffic light has been installed at the intersection of Anzheliya Mikheeva and Kapitana Pletnyova Streets," noted First Deputy Minister of Construction, Housing and Utilities Alexander Lomakin.

The list of 37 regions that are planned to receive 120 billion rubles in 2025–2030 for the implementation of KRT projects includes Sevastopol, Bryansk, Ivanovo, Kirov, Kostroma, Kurgan, Oryol, Penza, Pskov, Tambov, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, the republics of Adygea, Altai, Buryatia, Dagestan, Ingushetia, Kalmykia, Crimea, Mari El, Mordovia, Sakha (Yakutia), North Ossetia-Alania, Tuva, Khakassia, Kabardino-Balkarian, Karachay-Cherkess, Chechen, Chuvash republics, Altai, Transbaikal, Kamchatka, Stavropol territories, the Jewish Autonomous Region, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, and the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics.

The assistance is intended for entities with individual socio-economic development programs, as well as for regions with low budgetary capacity.

Financing is provided if, within the framework of the KRT projects, along with the construction of residential buildings, the construction or reconstruction of social, transport or public utility infrastructure facilities is envisaged.
