The government continues to create conditions for the development of energy infrastructure and the electric power industry as a whole. An order has been signed to include 25 more facilities in Russia's energy territorial planning scheme.

The updated document, in particular, includes provisions for the construction and reconstruction of electrical substations in the Amur, Murmansk, and Irkutsk regions to improve the reliability of power supply to households and businesses.

For this purpose, additional power transmission lines are planned to be installed in 11 regions: the Komi Republic, Amur, Irkutsk, Leningrad, Murmansk, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Sverdlovsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

Wind power plants are planned for construction in Krasnoyarsk Krai and Amur Oblast, which will increase the regions' renewable energy potential.

The main objective of the territorial planning scheme for energy is to create conditions for the expansion of energy infrastructure, which also impacts the country's socioeconomic development. This document forms the basis for the development of comprehensive regional infrastructure plans, enabling regions to more effectively implement social and economic initiatives. The territorial planning scheme is also necessary for reserving available sites for federal energy facilities planned for reconstruction or construction in the long term.

The document will be published.

Yuri Trutnev chaired a meeting of the Government Commission on Ensuring Russia's Presence on the Svalbard Archipelago

Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev chaired a meeting of the Government Commission on Ensuring Russia's Presence on the Spitsbergen Archipelago. The meeting's agenda included issues related to the economic activities of the Arktikugol company, master plans for the development of settlements where Russia operates, and plans to establish an international scientific and educational center.

"The main Russian company operating on Svalbard is the Federal State Unitary Enterprise (FSUE) GT Arktikugol. The company mines coal, services ships, develops tourism, and supports scientific research. For the past several years, the company has been operating under sanctions from Norway. As a reminder, Svalbard's international legal status is defined by the Svalbard Treaty of February 9, 1920, and grants over 40 participating states the right to operate on the archipelago. However, only Norway and Russia have exercised this right. Today, in the context of rising international tensions, it is of fundamental importance to us that none of the rights Russia acquired prior to our work are lost," Yuri Trutnev opened the meeting.

At the commission's last meeting in September 2024, an order was given to prepare a master plan for the development of settlements within the Russian presence on Spitsbergen. Vostokgosplan, together with the Arcticugol State Enterprise, developed and presented the corresponding master plans.

"Since 2022, the Arktikugol trust has been under the control of the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East. During this time, programs aimed at modernizing the trust's infrastructure and diversifying its activities have been and continue to be implemented. 65% of its revenue already comes from non-extractive industries, particularly tourism and other services. We will continue our systematic work to ensure Russia's presence on the Svalbard archipelago," noted Alexey Chekunkov, Minister for the Development of the Russian Far East and Arctic.

Coal mining and tourism are highlighted as promising development areas. Coal mining is expected to maintain sufficient volumes to support the operations of the Arcticugol gas pipeline. Last year, work began on upgrading the mine's equipment in this area.

Tourism development in the Russian presence on the Svalbard archipelago aims to reach 50,000 tourists per year by 2040. To this end, plans include reconstructing buildings for tourism infrastructure, developing tourist routes, and establishing direct connections. In this regard, restoration of buildings in the villages of Barentsburg and Pyramiden has begun. The possibility of establishing a regular sea freight and passenger service between the port of Murmansk and the Russian presence on the Svalbard archipelago was discussed. It was noted that from June to October of this year, the marine research vessel Professor Molchanov completed five consecutive direct international visa-free voyages between Murmansk and the villages of Barentsburg and Pyramiden.

The meeting participants presented a concept for the establishment of an International Scientific and Educational Center on the Spitsbergen Archipelago. It was developed in accordance with Yuri Trutnev's instructions following the meeting of the Government Commission for Ensuring the Russian Presence on the Spitsbergen Archipelago in February 2024.

"The Murmansk Region is Russia's Arctic outpost, and we fully support the initiative to establish an international scientific and educational center on Spitsbergen. The region has a solid scientific base—the Kola Science Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Murmansk Marine Biological Institute, and other leading institutions whose experience could be useful in implementing the project. Furthermore, a world-class campus is being created at Murmansk Arctic University, focused on training personnel for work in the Arctic and along the Northern Sea Route. The creation of the center opens new prospects for collaboration and joint efforts in this area. We will provide all necessary support to ensure the center's success and ensure cooperation with our Murmansk Arctic University," said Murmansk Region Governor Andrey Chibis.

"Despite restrictions imposed by a number of countries and the freezing of joint projects, including those implemented within the Arctic Council, Russia remains open to international cooperation. This also applies to science. Climate stability throughout the world largely depends on the Arctic. We must think about the future, even if some of our foreign colleagues forget. Therefore, we must continue to study the permafrost, atmosphere, and hydrosphere of the Arctic zone. To address this issue, a new international scientific and educational center will be established on the archipelago. It will serve as a platform for joint Arctic scientific and educational projects with foreign, primarily friendly, countries," said Yuri Trutnev.

November 12, 2025. The Government is paying special attention to regional development, ensuring that investment projects are implemented in our cities and towns, active work is underway to achieve national goals, and the territories are improved. Implementing such large-scale, often complex tasks requires significant resources. One of the key tasks the Government has been actively addressing in recent years has been the development of a supply-side economy. Another topic of high social significance concerns support for the program of discounted flights between regions, including on routes from the Far East. This topic is also under the constant supervision of the President. The next issue concerns municipalities.

At meetings with the leaders of such communities, the President always emphasizes the importance of their work, emphasizing that they are worthy, proactive people who contribute their knowledge, energy, and experience to the development of both small villages and large cities, and to moving toward new results.

For nine years, the All-Russian "Best Municipal Practice" competition has recognized the achievements of the most active teams in areas crucial to ensuring a comfortable life for citizens: public space improvement, urban development, and housing and utilities modernization, including the use of modern digital technologies.

Government meeting

This year, the event was expanded with two more categories. One is aimed at improving municipal management efficiency, while the other is aimed at increasing visibility and creating a so-called territorial brand.

The results of the latest competition were recently announced. Forty-eight municipalities representing almost a third of Russia's regions emerged as winners. I'd like to point out that most of them are small settlements. Currently, there are six urban and 24 rural ones. The highest results were achieved by teams from the Kamensky village council in the Republic of Bashkortostan, the villages of Muslyumovskoye in Tatarstan, and Tengushevskoye in Mordovia. And two from Buryatia – Temnik and Dunda-Kiretskoye.

The Mezhdurechensky Municipal District of the Kemerovo Region and the Berezovskoye Rural Settlement of the Khabarovsk Territory took prizes in two categories.

Such events are very important and serve as an example of how to work for people. This motivates colleagues from neighboring communities to refine their approaches. It helps them find more effective solutions to problems and use their accumulated experience to create comfortable living conditions in our country.

The program to relocate Russians from dilapidated housing continues under the new national project "Infrastructure for Life." Applications for the new phase have been approved from Stavropol Krai, Leningrad Oblast, the Udmurt Republic, and the Komi Republic, according to Marat Khusnullin, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Territorial Development Fund.

"Resettlement of residents from dilapidated housing is one of the priority tasks outlined by the President of Russia. As part of the national project 'Infrastructure for Life,' regions are receiving financial support for the implementation of the program's new phase. Four more regions will receive 693.5 million rubles from the Territorial Development Fund, which, under the supervision of the Ministry of Construction, operates the program. These funds will improve the housing conditions of approximately 1,500 people relocated from uninhabitable buildings with a total floor area of approximately 25,200 square meters. This work, aimed at improving the quality of life of residents, will be consistently continued," said Marat Khusnullin.

According to him, the Udmurt Republic was approved for 89.53 million rubles to resettle 567 people from dilapidated buildings with an area of 10,410 square meters, the Leningrad Region for 290.12 million rubles to resettle 453 people from dilapidated buildings with an area of 6,240 square meters, the Komi Republic for 240.84 million rubles to resettle 357 people from dilapidated buildings with an area of 6,960 square meters, and the Stavropol Territory for 72.97 million rubles to resettle 105 people from dilapidated buildings with an area of 1,540 square meters.

"To date, applications from 84 regions have been approved, totaling approximately 37.7 billion rubles. This will allow for the resettlement of approximately 1 million square meters of dilapidated housing, home to approximately 56,500 people. The Territorial Development Fund will continue to provide the regions with the necessary assistance to ensure the timely completion of all program stages and the achievement of the goals of the 'Infrastructure for Life' national project," noted Vasily Kupyzin, CEO of the Territorial Development Fund.

From 2025 to 2030, the federal project "Housing" will be implemented as part of the national project "Infrastructure for Life." It plans to relocate 345,000 people from dilapidated housing covering an area of 6.2 million square meters.

Marat Khusnullin: Since the beginning of the year, Russians have imposed more than 1 million restrictions on registering transactions without personal participation.

The government is working to improve mechanisms for protecting citizens' rights in the real estate sector. The ban on transactions without the owner's personal participation is one of the most reliable ways to protect against fraudulent attempts and prevent illegal real estate transactions, said Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"Real estate services are traditionally among the most sought-after and socially significant services among the population. Their primary objective is to guarantee the rights and legitimate interests of property owners, as well as protect them from unlawful actions by third parties. This rapid growth indicates that more and more citizens are taking steps to protect their property. Since the beginning of 2025, more than 1 million applications have been filed to prohibit the registration of transactions without personal participation, which is almost double the number from the same period last year," said Marat Khusnullin.

According to him, the Central Federal District leads in terms of the number of applications submitted in 2025, with over 428,000. Of these, almost 329,000 were received in Moscow. The Volga Federal District processed over 209,000 such applications, over 59,000 of which were in the Republic of Bashkortostan. The Northwestern Federal District rounded out the top three, with over 164,000 applications received, almost 138,000 of which were registered in St. Petersburg.

"The number of applications submitted electronically is also growing. Since the beginning of the year, there have been more than 265,000 (25.2%), and in the same period last year, there were over 127,000, representing 21.4% of the total. To enter a record in the Unified State Register of Real Estate (USRN) indicating the impossibility of registering a transfer, termination, restriction of a right, or encumbrance on a property without the owner's personal participation, a corresponding application must be submitted. This can be done online through the official Rosreestr website, through your personal account on Gosuslugi, or in person at a Multifunctional Center (MFC). After such a record is entered in the USRN, all applications submitted regarding a property without the personal participation of the titleholder will be returned without review," noted Oleg Skufinsky, Head of Rosreestr.

An application may only be submitted by the person listed as the owner in the property register. Additionally, only their legal representative or a representative with a power of attorney may submit an application. The ban on transactions without the owner's personal participation ceases to apply upon the transfer of title to the property, upon receipt of an application from the owner to withdraw a previously submitted application, or upon a court decision. This service is available throughout Russia, including the reunified regions.

Dmitry Patrushev held a working meeting with Vladislav Kuznetsov, Governor of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev held a working meeting with Vladislav Kuznetsov, Governor of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. The main topics discussed were the development of the agro-industrial complex and rural areas, as well as ensuring environmental well-being in the region.

In 2025, over 106 million rubles from the federal budget were allocated to the district for the development of the agro-industrial complex and rural areas. The funds were fully disbursed to the recipients. The region is also implementing measures under the state program "Integrated Development of Rural Areas," which provides social housing benefits and implements improvement projects.

The meeting also discussed the results of the national project "Ecology." The district received over 200 million rubles from the federal budget. As part of the national project "Environmental Well-Being," the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug is participating in three federal projects: "General Cleanup," "Circular Economy," and "Forest Preservation."

Dmitry Patrushev and Vladislav Kuznetsov focused on measures to create an effective municipal solid waste management system. This year, by order of the Russian Government, the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug was included in the list of regions eligible to enter into concession agreements for the construction of relevant infrastructure without a competitive bidding process. Dmitry Patrushev emphasized the importance of overseeing the timely construction of new facilities. The creation of modern facilities is a key step in modernizing the industry and reducing environmental impact, which is particularly important for remote areas.

Dmitry Patrushev: Russia is showing one of the highest rates of growth in vineyard area

Dmitry Patrushev spoke at the Russian Wine Forum "Wine of Russia. The First Five-Year Plan"

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev spoke at the Russian Wine Forum "Wine of Russia. The First Five-Year Plan." The Deputy Prime Minister reported that in the five years since the federal law "On Viticulture and Winemaking in the Russian Federation" came into effect, production volumes in the country have increased significantly.

Dmitry Patrushev noted that these past few years have been a true breakthrough for the domestic industry – a qualitative change in approaches, an increase in professionalism, and the establishment of clear and understandable rules for winemaking in Russia that meet international standards have had a positive impact on performance and enabled the creation of a competitive product.

"We've surpassed the 110,000-hectare mark in vineyard area, 14% higher than in 2020. This is one of the highest growth rates among leading grape-growing countries. More than a third of our vineyards are young, meaning we have good potential for development. By the end of 2025, we should reach at least another 5,000 hectares," said the Deputy Prime Minister.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, despite challenging weather conditions this year, the harvest is forecast to be approximately 870,000 tons, comparable to the record-breaking 2024. This year's growth rate is approximately 3%. This trend is expected to continue throughout the year.

In 2025, over 4 billion rubles have been allocated for the implementation of a federal project for the industry. Under this project, producers receive subsidies for planting and maintaining vineyards, as well as for purchasing materials and equipment.

The most important factor in improving the situation was the government's appropriate excise policy—in particular, the possibility of tax deductions for products made from domestic raw materials. The introduced regulatory measures resulted in the complete replacement of foreign wine materials with domestic ones and a reduction in wine imports by almost a third compared to last year.

Dmitry Patrushev emphasized that the share of domestically produced wine in wine consumption has begun to increase. This year alone, it has grown from 58% to 63%. The selection of Russian wines in retail and food service establishments is steadily expanding.

The Deputy Prime Minister also touched on the topic of wine tourism, which is rapidly developing in Russia. Up to a million people visit domestic wineries annually.

The government is committed to creating the necessary opportunities and consistently resolving outstanding issues. The Russian President has instructed that the land issue for the construction of wine tourism facilities be resolved by the end of 2025. Dmitry Patrushev announced that the State Duma has adopted in its first reading a draft federal law that will define the relevant rules and restrictions. The document has passed its first reading, is being prepared for a second reading, and is expected to be fully implemented in 2026.
