As part of his participation in the XIII International Sports Forum "Russia – Power of Sports," Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko spoke at an open lesson, awarded the winners of the "Victory Cup. Volga" phygital tournament, and reviewed the exhibition stands.

The forum's exhibition showcased the achievements of the country's entire sports industry, the latest developments aimed at developing innovative sports, and reflected the history of Russian athletes' achievements. Samara Region Governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev also participated in the events.

At the Solidarity Samara Arena, Dmitry Chernyshenko, Russian Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov, and President of the All-Russian Phygital Sports Federation Nikita Nagorny spoke at an open lesson, "Phygital Sports: The Future That Came Today," and also interacted with the athletes themselves.

"In 2024, our President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin presented the world with a previously unknown sporting format. The new "phygital" movement, which is currently developing independently, has become international and already united 120 countries. It is a combination of physical, traditional, and modern digital sports. To be successful, you need to develop both in the virtual and physical worlds. That's the key," the Deputy Prime Minister explained.

He recalled that the second Future Games will be held in Abu Dhabi in December.

"Today, we didn't just hold a lesson – we opened the doors to the future for thousands of Russian schoolchildren. Our goal is to show children and young people that sport can be incredibly engaging, modern, and technologically advanced. Phygital sport is the future that has arrived today; it's a reality we're building together. We want children to view the digital environment as more than just a leisure activity. By introducing such lessons, we're not only engaging young people in regular physical education but also shaping a generation that will possess the universal skills for success in both the real and virtual worlds," noted Nikita Nagorny.

At the Ministry of Sport's stand, in the presence of Dmitry Chernyshenko, five cooperation agreements were signed between the All-Russian Phygital Sports Federation and the Russian Ministry of Education, the Russian Automobile Federation, the Russian Basketball Federation, the Russian Ice Hockey Federation, and the Russian Football Union.

"Our key goal is to cultivate well-rounded individuals prepared for the challenges of the modern world. Today, we are taking an important strategic step by integrating traditional physical education with digital technologies. Phygital is the sport of the future. We are confident that its integration into the school curriculum will not only improve students' health but also foster their strategic thinking, team spirit, and digital literacy, thereby developing in-demand competencies," emphasized Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov.

The agreement provides for the joint development of methodological recommendations and educational programs, the implementation of pilot projects in educational institutions, the organization of phygital sports competitions and festivals among schoolchildren and students of secondary vocational education, as well as the training and professional development of teaching staff to work in this new field.

The Deputy Prime Minister, along with Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyarev and Samara Region Governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev, inspected the stands of the forum's partners, Russian regions, and participating sports federations.

Particular attention was given to the Olympic torch exhibition, the stands of the Ministry of Sport and the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Russian Weightlifting Federation, the State Council Commission on Physical Culture and Sports, the Samara and Chelyabinsk regions, St. Petersburg, new regions, the Russian Premier League, SMP Racing, Russian Railways, and other companies and organizations.

Dmitry Chernyshenko was introduced to the Samara Region stand, which consists of several interactive zones, including a training ground, the "Motostadium" installation, the "Heart of Samara" art object, an exhibition about clubs and champions, a multimedia exhibition about the region's industrial potential, a basketball drone, and more.

"The forum rightfully holds a special place among Russia's leading sports and business platforms, bringing together government officials, representatives of the sporting elite, experts, and businesses. This year, the forum brought together participants from 51 countries, confirming its status as a significant platform for international dialogue and cooperation in sports. As Russian President Vladimir Putin has said, 'In Russia, we see sport as one of the key paths to achieving national development goals, a powerful resource capable of improving people's quality of life, opening up new horizons for self-realization, helping them believe in themselves and achieve success—both in sports and in life in general,'" said Mikhail Degtyarev, Minister of Sport and Chairman of the Russian Olympic Committee.

Dmitry Chernyshenko, Vyacheslav Fedorishchev, and Nikita Nagorny also awarded the winners of the "Victory Cup. Volga" tournament. Special military operation soldiers currently undergoing rehabilitation participated in the phygital sports competition, dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.

"Fighters who suffered or were wounded while defending our homeland's interests in the Northern Military District are using this new format to gain unprecedented benefits in terms of recovery speed, new emotions, and meaning in life. I am very pleased that the feedback we are receiving from our fighters truly confirms this. We also have confirmation from our esteemed doctors and rehabilitation specialists who note accelerated recovery, allowing our fighters to live full lives despite the losses they have suffered. This is precisely the vision set by our President, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. And we will continue to support you and work towards this goal," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

It's worth noting that the large-scale phygital tournament "Victory Cup. Volga" is one of the key sporting events of the 13th International Forum "Russia – Country of Sports." The tournament brought together over 100 participants of the special military operation, including Heroes of Russia. The tournament demonstrated the potential of innovative sports for the social adaptation and rehabilitation of special military forces.

"The Victory Cup Volga tournament has become one of the key sporting events of the Russia – Power of Sport forum. Its participants are our heroes, defenders of the Fatherland, of whom we are proud. We bow low to them for their resilience and fortitude. The Samara Region has always been the heart of the Volga region and the region that ensures the defense of the state, the development of industry, and new technologies. I am grateful to the competition organizers for our joint achievement of demonstrating the high level at which such tournaments should be held," emphasized Vyacheslav Fedorishchev.

Dmitry Chernyshenko and Vyacheslav Fedorishchev also inspected the site of the future world-class campus. President Vladimir Putin has directed that Russia should have at least 25 such campuses, and at least 40 by 2036. They are being created as part of the national project "Youth and Children."

Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev held a meeting on the technological and industrial development of Khabarovsk Krai and learned about the Aero-Hit company's unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) production project.

"Khabarovsk Krai is a development leader among the Far Eastern regions. 156 investment projects with a total investment volume of over 2.7 trillion rubles are being implemented here with state support. The region ranks second in the Far East in terms of attracted investment and first among the Far Eastern regions in terms of industrial index. Today, we have gathered to discuss the issue of technological development. Dmitry Viktorovich Demeshin and I have already visited one of the enterprises – a production facility of the Aero-Hit company – where, in general, technological development can be confidently discussed. Clearly, this is not the only point of development in the region. Among the region's leading enterprises are the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Plant named after Yuri Gagarin, the Amur Shipyard, and others. I am confident that the current pace and existing enterprises are insufficient to ensure the technological development of our country. They must be accelerated," Yuri Trutnev opened the meeting.

Khabarovsk Krai Governor Dmitry Demeshin reported on the region's technological development. "Khabarovsk Krai's industrial specialization is evident (over 21% of the gross regional product). The region's main specialization industries are aircraft and shipbuilding, metallurgy, energy production, petroleum product manufacturing, and construction. The industrial production index for January-September demonstrated stable growth, growing by 18.5%. This growth was driven by the launch of new investment projects and the robust performance of the manufacturing industry (105.2%)," he noted.

The Khabarovsk Krai has launched the Charter of Industrial Technological Sovereignty and Import Substitution. It includes the formation of cooperative ties between small technology companies around the region's large industrial enterprises, support for import-substitution projects, the digital transformation of industrial sectors, and the development of human resources. Over the past year, 386 organizations in the region have joined the charter. 274 contracts have been signed between small and large businesses.

Work has begun to establish a cluster-based industrial development system. Priority clusters in the first stage include aircraft manufacturing, shipbuilding, mining, agro-industrial complex, industrial construction, high-tech, and tourism. Helicopter manufacturing, metallurgy and metalworking, and forestry are also promising. The region's core specializations—aircraft and shipbuilding—are a clear priority. Regional authorities, together with UAC, are forming an aircraft manufacturing cluster. Plans call for localization of SJ-100 components and the creation of production sites that will consolidate the production of hatches, doors, and PD-8 engines.

Engineering and reverse engineering are fueling growing cooperative chains between small and large businesses. Regional technology companies, including Prommash, PAKS-Vostok, SKIF-M DV, Kompozit-DV, Yakovlev, and others, have been involved in cooperation in aircraft manufacturing.

In the future, the Far East and Arctic Development Corporation and JSC Helicopter Service Company are working together to establish a helicopter cluster in Khabarovsk. An agreement was signed at the Eastern Economic Forum to establish a Service Competence Center specializing in helicopter repair, maintenance, and component production at JSC Far Eastern Aviation Service Center as the first stage of the helicopter cluster.

The development of shipbuilding was discussed. This traditional industry specialization in Khabarovsk Krai is based at two enterprises – the Amur and Khabarovsk shipyards. The meeting considered the possibility of expanding the range of civilian orders for the Amur shipyard, including the construction of multifunctional rescue vessels with enhanced ice class. A shipbuilding cluster in the form of an industrial park is being formed at the Khabarovsk shipyard. Preliminary agreements have been reached with potential residents.

"We are developing a shipbuilding cluster where we expect to produce vessels for the needs of both the region and the entire Far East. These include cargo ships, tugboats, and passenger vessels, including hydrofoils," the Khabarovsk Krai Governor explained.

According to Dmitry Demeshin, a program for developing shipping in the Amur Basin has been developed at the direction of Yuri Trutnev. The program was discussed at the regional Maritime Council and presented at a roundtable discussion in the Federation Council.

Proposals have been made to establish an automotive cluster in Khabarovsk Krai. VEB.RF previously supported funding for the Far Eastern Bus Cluster project. The first phase is planned to launch an assembly facility at the Vector site (Khabarovsk Priority Development Area). A 24,000 square meter facility has been allocated for the project to assemble Amurbus city, tourist, and apron buses. In the second phase, component production will begin at the Rakitnoye site.

Promising areas were presented, including proposals to form a metallurgical cluster based on the only metallurgical complex in the Far East, Amurstal, the creation of a high-tech cluster, and the development of the petrochemical industry.

"We must move forward as quickly as possible. We must keep up with the world's technologies. Yes, there are certain areas of technological development in which Russia is not only keeping pace, but ahead of others. But we also cannot remain stagnant," Yuri Trutnev concluded the meeting.

That same day, the Deputy Prime Minister visited the Aero-Hit plant in the Khabarovsk priority development area, which produces the Veles small attack and reconnaissance UAV. The plant's products are supplied to the Russian Ministry of Defense as part of a special military operation. Since 2023, the company has delivered over 50,000 military modular FPV drones to the special military operation zone.

Drones produced by the TOR resident are being improved to meet the needs of fighters in the Northern Military District. For the latest version of the UAV, the company's employees equipped it with fiber-optic communications for high-speed data transmission in remote control and surveillance systems, artificial intelligence with the Soroka and Stratim targeting systems, enabling precise target engagement even in active countermeasures, thermal imaging and night vision cameras for nighttime operation, and modular designs that can be adapted for reconnaissance, strike, or assault team support missions. The new Veles-17 model, with a payload capacity of up to 10 kg and a range of 25 km, is already undergoing testing in the Northern Military District.

In addition to production, the company has established a network of technical support and service centers for after-sales service and modernization of manufactured products, and has opened its own UAV development laboratory.

Document

Resolution of October 31, 2025 No. 1709

Comment

From Mikhail Mishustin's opening remarks at the Government meeting, November 6, 2025

The government has improved the mechanism for investment protection and promotion agreements (IPPAs), allowing organizations implementing investment projects to receive reimbursement for their expenses in the form of a tax deduction. A resolution has been signed on the procedure for providing this form of state support.

The decision will launch a mechanism for reimbursing expenses in the form of tax deductions for the creation, modernization, and reconstruction of transport, energy, utilities, social, and digital infrastructure facilities necessary for the implementation of investment projects.

The tax deduction will be applied to income tax, property tax, and land tax paid in connection with the project. It will amount to up to 50% of the costs of constructing supporting infrastructure facilities used to implement the investment project, and up to 100% of the costs of supporting infrastructure facilities. The deduction amount must not exceed the amount of taxes paid. To qualify, companies must submit documents confirming the amount of expenses incurred to the Ministry of Economic Development.

The SPZPK mechanism, which guarantees unchangeable conditions for the implementation of major investment projects, was launched by the government in 2020, becoming one of the key instruments supporting investment activity. It enables businesses to maintain tax, land use, urban development, and government support measures even if they change nationwide, as well as partially reimburse infrastructure costs and interest on loans.

Announcing the decision takenGovernment meeting on November 6Mikhail Mishustin noted that in the five years since this mechanism was launched, approximately 80 such agreements have been concluded, totaling approximately 4.5 trillion rubles. Thirteen industrial facilities, worth a total of 700 billion rubles, have already been commissioned, creating over 8,000 jobs in more than 10 regions of the country.

Every November, Russia celebrates Bridge Day (Mostoden). Thanks to the national "Infrastructure for Life" project, large-scale construction, reconstruction, repair, and major overhaul of artificial structures continues on the regional and local road network. In the first 10 months of this year, 175 bridges and overpasses have been commissioned, according to Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"Our strategic objective, in the context of growing motorization, increasing traffic volume, and increasing population mobility, is to ensure seamless logistics so that as many of our citizens as possible can use high-quality roads and convenient routes. Every artificial structure is an integral, and often key, element of the road framework that ensures uninterrupted transport connections. Today, it's important not just to renovate and build bridges and overpasses, but to do so systematically. This objective is being successfully addressed thanks to the national project 'Infrastructure for Life.' By the end of October, 175 artificial structures, with a total length of 12,400 linear meters, had been commissioned on the regional and local road network," said Marat Khusnullin.

Construction and installation work continues at other sites, many of which are at an advanced stage of readiness, and some bridges and overpasses are ready for commissioning.

"By the end of the year, under the 'Infrastructure for Life' national project, we will commission more than 560 artificial structures, totaling over 43,000 linear meters. These include construction, reconstruction, and repair projects, including major ones. Many structures haven't seen major repairs for decades, even though traffic volumes, and therefore the load on them, have increased significantly. These factors are being taken into account, and advanced technologies, solutions, and new materials are being used in construction and installation work," noted Transport Minister Andrei Nikitin.

Large-scale renovation and construction of bridge structures on the regional and local networks was made possible thanks to federal support.

"The smooth operation of bridges and overpasses directly impacts people's quality of life: this includes the delivery of goods, the passage of emergency services, the safe crossing of railway tracks, and much more. In 2025, 50.472 billion rubles have been allocated from the federal budget for the repair and construction of these structures," said Kairat Tursunbekov, Deputy Head of the Federal Road Agency.

In October 2025, on the sidelines of the 12th International Specialized Exhibition "Road 2025," traffic opened on a new overpass over the Trans-Siberian Railway in the village of Seryshevo in the Amur Region. The total length of the overpass, including access roads, is 3 km.

Construction of two more overpasses is also ongoing in the Amur Region. The overpass over the Trans-Siberian Railway in Novobureysky, funded by infrastructure bonds, is scheduled to open in December. The overpass in Belogorsk is scheduled to open in 2027 under the national project. Work is ahead of schedule.

In the Republic of Bashkortostan, the bridge over the Ik River has reopened to traffic after reconstruction. It is unique in that it straddles the border of two regions and two time zones. The bridge provides the shortest route for residents of Bashkortostan and Tatarstan, who use the Oktyabrsky-Urussu road daily to get to work, school, and clinics. Following the reconstruction, traffic on this road is expected to reach 4,000 vehicles per day. The work was completed ahead of schedule.

Another significant project in the republic this year is the bridge across the Bely Kamen (Uzyan) River on the Tolbazy-Krasnousolsky highway. The 39-linear-meter structure underwent a major overhaul.

In the Perm Krai, bridge builders completed 35 bridge structures (over 2,000 linear meters). Among the most significant was the bridge across the Usva River (250 linear meters) at the 93rd kilometer of the Polazna-Chusovoy highway. This is a vital transportation artery, providing access to the city of Chusovoy and from there to the northern part of the Kama region, including Gubakha, Solikamsk, Gremyachinsk, Lysva, Kungur, and Gornozavodsk. The bridge connects the main entrance to Chusovoy from Perm with Yuzhnaya Street, located on the other bank of the Usva. It carries a large volume of traffic daily, including 11 urban, suburban, and inter-municipal routes.

The bridge over the Iren River in Kungur was overhauled six months ahead of the contract deadline. Located on Krasnoarmeyskaya Street, the bridge provides transportation links between the village of Zairensky and the Nagorny District with the central part of Kungur, including the Mashzavod and Cheryomushki neighborhoods, home to numerous socially significant facilities. Furthermore, the reopening reduces traffic congestion on the adjacent Preobrazhensky Bridge. Upon completion, the bridge is a meter higher, while its width and length remain the same.

During a working visit to the Samara Region, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko assessed the region's educational infrastructure. Specifically, he visited Samara National Research University named after Academician S.P. Korolev and Volga Region State College.

"The Samara Region is actively leveraging government support measures in education and science: colleges are participating in the "Professionalism" federal project of the "Youth and Children" national project, universities are participating in "Priority 2030," leading engineering schools and the National Center for Medical Sciences are operating, and a world-class campus is being created. Volga Region State College and Samara University are shining examples of how organizations participating in these large-scale programs are helping develop the region's human and technological potential, thereby contributing to achieving the goals set by President Vladimir Putin," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

Dmitry Chernyshenko visited a cyberphysical factory producing small-sized gas turbine engines and learned about cutting-edge developments created by Samara National Research University named after Academician S.P. Korolev as part of the "Priority-2030" program, the PIS, the NCMU, the student design bureau, and the artificial intelligence research center. He also spoke with the developers.

"We are actively studying and adopting the experience of successful federal projects, such as 'Advanced Engineering Schools.' This year, we decided to hold a regional selection process for engineering school status in areas such as information technology and transport technology. We support the university's research diversification toward the national technological leadership project 'New Materials and Chemistry,'" noted regional Governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev.

Samara Oblast is among the top ten regions in terms of scientific and technological development.

Samara University named after Korolev is the base university of the Kuibyshev Interuniversity Student Campus. The university has over 20,000 students, including representatives from over 60 countries. Popular fields of study include aeronautical and rocket and space engineering, mechanical engineering, mathematics, and mechanics.

In 2025, the University established the Scientific Center for Unmanned Aerial Systems (NCSU) for Intelligent Unmanned Aerial Systems. The university also won this year's student design bureau competition.

"We are prepared to invest significant financial resources in creating a new environment for transforming universities into third-generation universities—innovative and technological ones. A unique advantage of the Samara campus will be its indoor and outdoor testing grounds for technologies and developments in real-world conditions," emphasized Vyacheslav Fedorishchev.

Dmitry Chernyshenko also spoke with students and staff of the Volga Region State College.

The college visited by the Deputy Prime Minister and the Governor is practically the same age as the secondary vocational education system, which celebrated its 85th anniversary this year. It was founded in 1943. In the Samara Region, the college was the first participant in the federal project "Professionalism."

In classrooms and workshops, Dmitry Chernyshenko spoke with student participants and ambassadors of the project, who have achieved significant success in their professional training and championships. The future specialists demonstrated their skills in operating CNC machines, including launching the production of commemorative products for the 85th anniversary of the SPO system, the design of which they developed themselves.

In addition, staff and students presented the region's experience in systematically organizing career guidance work with schoolchildren as part of the "Ticket to the Future" project and spoke about the work of the "Movement of the First" branch.

In conclusion, the Deputy Prime Minister and the Governor left commemorative notes at the college.

"Let the knowledge and skills of our graduates work for the benefit of the Samara Region and all of Russia!" wrote Dmitry Chernyshenko.

Dmitry Chernyshenko and Vyacheslav Fedorishchev also visited the Cathedral of the Protection of the Mother of God and met with Metropolitan Feodosiy of Samara and Novokuibyshevsk. The Samara Theological Seminary operates in the region, and the Volga Region Academy of Education and Arts named after St. Alexis, Metropolitan of Moscow, has been established.
