Comprehensive plans to reduce atmospheric emissions have been approved for 13 more cities participating in the federal project "Clean Air". The Government order approving such plans has been signed.

We are talking about Rostov-on-Don, Novocherkassk, Kurgan, Angarsk, Zima, Irkutsk, Svirsk, Cheremkhovo, Petrovsk-Zabaikalsky, Astrakhan, Barnaul, Makhachkala and Kyzyl.

The implementation of comprehensive plans to reduce emissions includes, among other things, the modernization of industrial enterprises, the conversion of private residential buildings from wood and coal heating to gas or electric heating, the modernization of thermal power plants and boiler houses (with the closure of inefficient energy generation facilities), the purchase of environmentally friendly models of public transport, as well as the repair of tram lines and trolleybus networks. All this will ultimately reduce the volume of harmful emissions into the atmosphere and improve the environmental situation.

The plan activities will be implemented using federal and regional budgets, as well as extra-budgetary sources. To date, comprehensive plans for reducing emissions have been approved for 16 Russian cities.

Since 2025, the federal project “Clean Air” has been part of the national project “Environmental Well-being”.

Changes to the procedure for state examination of design documentation, approved by the Government Resolution, came into force on September 1, 2025. The new regulations will reduce the administrative burden on developers and speed up the implementation of investment and construction projects. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"The government continues its systematic work to eliminate excessive administrative barriers in the construction industry. The decisions made make it possible to simplify the procedure for passing state examination, make it more transparent and reduce the time frame for project implementation. For developers, the provision of seven types of documents is eliminated, which will reduce the burden on businesses and speed up the receipt of permits. This is another step in improving the business climate in the construction industry. Improving the regulatory framework in the construction sector is an important part of the work to accelerate the pace of housing construction and improve the quality of the construction industry," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that it became possible to make changes to the application for state examination and eliminate technical errors in the conclusions of the state examination. The procedure for additional extension of the examination deadlines has also been optimized.

At the same time, the list of registry information available free of charge on the Internet for all interested parties is being expanded.

Also, from September 1, a government decree came into force that sets the rules for the conservation of construction projects. It is carried out to suspend construction work for more than six months.

Decisions on the conservation of capital construction projects of state (municipal) property, the construction or reconstruction of which is carried out in whole or in part at the expense of the federal budget, will be made by the Government of Russia, state property of a subject – by the highest executive bodies of the subjects, and municipal property – by local administrations.

For private properties, the previous procedure remains in place – decisions are made by the developer.

The VII Federal Forum "Productivity 360" will be held in Moscow.

On November 6 and 7, the 7th Federal Forum "Productivity 360" will be held at VDNKh in Pavilion No. 57 "Russia – My History". Organizers: the Ministry of Economic Development and the Federal Competence Center in Labor Productivity.

Productivity 360 is the country's key event for exchanging experiences in the field of lean manufacturing, which over the past 7 years has secured its status as an authoritative platform for developing specific solutions to improve the efficiency of the country's economy.

"The task for the coming years is to turn work on increasing labor productivity into a management norm at all levels. Today, this is not just an economic issue, but a key mechanism for achieving national goals and sustainable growth," noted Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak.

Acceleration of the structural transformation of the economy through the growth of its efficiency will be the focus of attention on the first day of the forum. The discussion will focus on changes in the structure of employment, consumption, and technological development in key industries.

The core of the discussion participants will traditionally be businesses with revenues of 400 million rubles or more – both those already included in the federal project and companies that want to join it. These are manufacturing, transport and construction companies, and companies from the tourism sector.

"During its existence, the Productivity 360 Forum has strengthened its reputation as a significant event in the business calendar. It has become a point of attraction for business, experts and government, a platform where new ideas are born. Participants will have the opportunity to exchange best practices, get acquainted with relevant tools for increasing labor productivity and establish partnerships with the strongest market players. The forum has become not just a discussion platform, but a real think tank that forms a strategy for the development of labor productivity in Russia," said Maxim Reshetnikov, Minister of Economic Development.

On the instructions of the President, in the new project cycle, work to improve efficiency will cover not only enterprises in the real sector of the economy, but also all institutions in the social sphere.

The first results of work in the areas of social protection, healthcare, education, culture and sports will be discussed during the second day of the forum.

"The main achievement of recent years is that lean manufacturing has ceased to be a narrowly specialized practice of industrial enterprises. It has become a mass ideology, understandable and in demand in various fields. Today, its tools and approaches are actively implemented not only in factories, but also in the service sector, in budgetary organizations, in the social sphere," noted FCC General Director Maxim Papushenko.

The Productivity 360 Forum is not only a large-scale discussion platform, but also a practical tool for companies that strive for growth and competitiveness. Here, participants gain access to best practices, learn new tools for increasing efficiency, and find partners among the strongest market players.

Entry to the forum is free. You can register and familiarize yourself with the program on the official event website.

Resolution of August 26, 2025 No. 1274

On the instructions of the President, the "Zemsky Trainer" program will be launched in the Far Eastern and Central Federal Districts in 2025, and in all regions of Russia from 2026. Within its framework, workers in the field of physical culture and sports who have moved to work in small settlements with a population of up to 50 thousand people will be able to receive one-time compensation payments in the amount of 1 million to 2 million rubles.

By a decree signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, the necessary changes for this were made to the state program “Development of Physical Culture and Sports.”

According to the document, specialists with higher or secondary vocational education will be able to receive state support. To do this, they must sign a full-time contract with a physical education and sports organization, committing to work there for at least five years.

If the settlements are located in the Far East and in the new regions, the lump sum payment will be 2 million rubles. For other regions – 1 million rubles.

An order on the distribution of subsidies to regions of the Far Eastern and Central Federal Districts for the implementation of this program in 2025 is also being prepared for signing.

The head of state instructed the Government to take measures aimed at implementing the Zemsky Trainer program following a meeting of the Presidential Council for the Development of Physical Culture and Sports in 2024.

Mikhail Mishustin announced the decision taken on September 1 during a visit to the Lopatinskaya Secondary Comprehensive School in the Kaluga Region.

Thanks to the national project "Infrastructure for Life", the renovation of sections of regional and local roads leading to educational and children's leisure institutions continues. By Knowledge Day, work has been completed on more than 800 km, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported.

"Improving the quality of education and increasing the comfort of students are under special control of the state. In recent years, a colossal amount of work has been done to build new schools and kindergartens, as well as to repair and reconstruct existing ones. Of course, each educational institution should have a comfortable and safe infrastructure: convenient access roads, safe crossings, pedestrian zones, sidewalks. We are actively carrying out this work under the national project "Infrastructure for Life". In anticipation of September 1, road works were completed on 323 sections of the regional and local road network leading to children's educational and leisure institutions – this is 837 km," said Marat Khusnullin.

By the end of the year, the number of updated school routes will increase significantly.

"In 2025, in order to achieve the national project indicators, it is planned to bring 870 objects up to standard – this is more than 3 thousand km of roads to schools, kindergartens, secondary specialized and higher educational institutions. Large-scale work is carried out both within the boundaries of populated areas and beyond them – on regional and inter-municipal roads, along which school routes also pass. Particular attention is paid to strict quality control of road works at all stages – from design to commissioning of objects. This guarantees not only compliance with standards, but also the durability and reliability of the infrastructure being created," said Minister of Transport Andrei Nikitin.

Road workers pay special attention to ensuring road safety.

"As a rule, when carrying out repair work, school routes are equipped with safety elements in accordance with modern standards. This includes the installation of pedestrian crossings, speed bumps, traffic lights, and pedestrian barriers. In addition, thanks to the federal project "Road Safety", large-scale work is being carried out to prevent child road traffic injuries and to form a culture of safe behavior on the roads. Thus, within the framework of the national project "Infrastructure for Life", a whole range of measures is being implemented aimed at ensuring maximum safety for children on the roads," emphasized the head of the Federal Road Agency, Roman Novikov.

In the village of Chigiri in the Amur Region, on the eve of September 1, construction of a road along Krasnaya Street, 0.75 km long, was completed. It leads from Vasilenko Street to the new building of the Chigirin school.

In the Udmurt Republic, of the 63 road facilities planned to be updated this year under the national project "Infrastructure for Life", 48 lead to schools, kindergartens or are a school route. Their total length is 51.8 km.

In the Sharkansky district of Udmurtia, a section of Centralnaya Street in the village of Porozovo was repaired before the start of the school year. Its length is 1.2 km.

In the Republic of Adygea, by September 1, repairs to three school routes in Maykop with a total length of more than 2 km have already been completed, and about 42 km of regional roads passing through populated areas near educational institutions have been updated.

Thus, in the capital of the republic, Gogol Street, 0.9 km long, has been repaired. It provides transport accessibility to two higher education institutions at once, in which more than 17 thousand students study in total – Adyghe State University and Maikop Technological University. There are many centers for professional development and sports on the basis of educational institutions. The Gogol Street section is a 2026 facility that was repaired ahead of schedule.

One of the longest regional facilities – routes to educational institutions – is an almost 6-kilometer section of the Krasnooktyabrsky – Kurdzhipskaya – Dagestanskaya road in the Maykop district. It passes through the settlement of Krasnooktyabrsky along Kubanskaya Street. Educational Center No. 2 of the Maykop district is located here, with more than 1,000 students.

Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova congratulated students of the Moscow State Academy of Choreography on the start of the new academic year.

"Dear first-graders, graduates, parents, guests, let me congratulate you on the Day of Knowledge. This is a special day for you, because you have come to an incredible educational institution, this is the pearl of Russian ballet – the place where dance was born starting in 1773. So many centuries, so many generations of unique dancers who glorified the country, performed not only on Russian, but also on international stages. And this place today, dear first-graders, is becoming your home. You will have a sea of experiences, you will have success, and your teachers and mentors will always be with you. Today you are taking your first small step. Good luck to you and all the very best," said Tatyana Golikova.

The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that today 1.5 million first-graders cross the threshold of Russian schools, but only 48 people have become students of the academy. "This means that you are unique, you are chosen, so the level of responsibility increases," added Tatyana Golikova. She noted that this year 14 graduates of the academy have already been accepted into the ballet troupe of the Bolshoi Theater.

For the first time, the official ceremony at the academy as rector was held by People's Artist of Russia Svetlana Zakharova.

"I want to congratulate our little first-graders. Welcome to our big family! May each of you go through this path to the end. I really want to see you among the graduates in eight years. Promise that you will do this, and we will help you with this. Of course, I congratulate our graduates who have already gone through this difficult path, but ahead of them are state exams, graduations, and many concerts on this stage. Confidently move towards your goal and remember that when you graduate, when you receive your diplomas, this is not the end of your training. We, ballet dancers, study all our lives. Everything is just beginning," said Svetlana Zakharova.

Dmitry Chernyshenko: By the start of the school year, transport cards with the symbols of the Decade of Science and Technology have been issued in the regions of Russia

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

From the beginning of the new academic year in the Decade of Science and Technology, Russian regions will begin issuing special transport cards with a corporate design that reflects the scientific potential of the country's cities. The collection of unique cards will be officially presented at the anniversary V Congress of Young Scientists, which is being held as part of the national project "Youth and Children".

Since September 1, the campaign has been launched in five regions: Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Arkhangelsk, Murmansk regions and the Republic of Tatarstan. Within a month, the number of subjects will increase to 11 – Krasnodar Krai (Sochi), Novosibirsk, Chelyabinsk, Sverdlovsk, Kaliningrad and Samara regions will take part in the campaign. It is planned that St. Petersburg, Perm Krai and other regions will join the issue of cards in the future.

"The Decade of Science and Technology is being held in our country by decree of President Vladimir Putin. It helps popularize science and talk about the developments of scientists from different regions of Russia. The new campaign to issue transport cards with the symbols of the Decade is aimed at ensuring that even those who are not very interested in the field of research and development see that they use its achievements every day. And young people understand that science is a space for future opportunities. The campaign has already been launched in five regions. It is expected that in September, more than 15.5 thousand such transport cards will appear in 11 regions of the country," said Deputy Prime Minister, Co-Chairman of the Coordination Committee of the Decade of Science and Technology Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The cards will be available to city residents and visitors who make millions of trips on public transport every day.

"Sociological studies of recent years demonstrate the growing interest of our population in science and research activities – parents want their children to become scientists, more and more young people are going into science. Of course, the events of the Decade of Science and Technology played a huge role in these positive changes. I am sure that thematic transport cards will be in great demand," said Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov.

The cards will not only be a convenient means of paying for travel, but also a memorable souvenir. A unique design has been prepared for each region, reflecting its cultural and historical features, as well as achievements in science and technology. This approach emphasizes the individuality of the subjects and at the same time demonstrates their contribution to the development of the country and the formation of its scientific and technological future.

"In the Decade of Science and Technology, we strive to make science a part of everyday life. The campaign to issue transport cards is one of the most accessible ways to tell about the achievements of regions and people in various scientific and technological fields. Each region has its own unique card design, reflecting its history and features, and together these cards form a general picture of the country's development, from which it is clear what contribution a specific territory makes to our scientific future," emphasized Sofia Malyavina, General Director of the National Priorities ANO.

Thus, in Moscow, the Troika is made in a blue-light blue palette with mathematical formulas and graphic elements symbolizing science as the language of the future. In the Sverdlovsk region, the EKarta is made in an industrial style: crystals and minerals refer to the rich resources of the Urals and its role as one of the largest industrial and technological centers of the country. A special edition of the Baltic Wave map for the Kaliningrad region is designed in a marine palette and symbolizes the work of the region's scientists to study the ecosystems of the Baltic Sea, as well as climate observations that are conducted in the region. In the Samara region, the map is made in a futuristic style: innovative air transport is depicted against the background of a megalopolis, reminiscent of the space heritage. The Republic of Tatarstan presented two versions of the cards: with the Astronomical Observatory of Kazan University, emphasizing the republic's contribution to the development of science, and with the Kul-Sharif Mosque, inscribed in the futuristic image of the city as a symbol of the harmony of cultural heritage and technological progress. And on the back of the student discount card "Pomorye", valid in the Arkhangelsk region, they placed a portrait of Nikolai Pavlovich Laverov – a geologist, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences and one of the initiators of the creation of the Northern (Arctic) Federal University.

The creators of the visual appearance of the map in the Nizhny Novgorod region were inspired by the developments of specialists from the Russian Federal Nuclear Center – VNIIEF in Sarov: it depicts a unique UFL-2M complex, also known as the "Tsar Laser". The symbolism was not chosen by chance – this year the Russian nuclear industry celebrates its 80th anniversary, and it is this region that has made an invaluable contribution to the development of peaceful atoms.

The design of the map in the Murmansk region is made with reference to images of the Far North: the northern lights and arctic landscapes emphasize the importance of the region in scientific research of the Arctic and the Earth's climate.

"For the convenience of residents and visitors of the region, a whole range of transport cards have been developed in the Murmansk Region. For northerners, a single resident card is provided, providing a wide range of services. Guests are offered to use "Card 51", the new version of which is now decorated with the image of a whale – a symbol popular among tourists," said Murmansk Region Governor Andrei Chibis.

"Card 51" has been in use in the Murmansk region since 2017 as a travel card for public transport. Now, part of the circulation in an updated design will be given to young scientists of the region – the cards will be handed to them directly at universities and institutes.

The Novosibirsk Region has prepared three designs for the SberTroika series, which reflect its status as one of the country's leading scientific centers: the cards depict the Novosibirsk State University, the Akademgorodok technology park, and the SKIF mega-science complex under construction.

"Today, the Novosibirsk Region occupies a special place on the scientific map of Russia. Leading universities, research institutes and innovative companies are concentrated here. It is here that SKIF is being built – one of the most powerful fourth-generation synchrotron radiation sources in the world, which will open up fundamentally new opportunities for medicine, pharmaceuticals and materials science. The placement of these objects on transport maps will highlight the contribution of Novosibirsk and Russia to world science and will allow thousands of residents and visitors to see its achievements in a new way," commented Vadim Vasiliev, Minister of Science and Innovation Policy of the Novosibirsk Region.

In a number of regions, citizens and the professional community were involved in choosing and even directly creating the design. In the Chelyabinsk Region, the appearance of the new transport card with the symbols of the Decade of Science and Technology was chosen by the residents themselves: three design options were put to vote using the State Services portal, where the monument to Academician Igor Kurchatov was combined with a futuristic image of the city. The second option, where the scientist is depicted against the background of the Chelyabinsk of the future, received the most votes – almost two thirds. It will appear on the transport cards that will go on sale by the beginning of the school year. And in St. Petersburg, the task of creating a design for a student travel card with the symbols of the Decade of Science and Technology will form the basis of the nomination of the federal competition of youth design and art "Design of the Young" (Young Design). From September to November 2025, all interested graphic designers of the city under the age of 25 will be able to offer their own version of the design of a student travel card: they will develop a concept under the mentorship of practicing designers from leading studios, companies and universities of the city, receive feedback and defend the final layout in front of a jury. The opinion of the expert council, as well as the votes of city residents who will be able to take part in the public vote, will be taken into account when determining the winner. The design project that takes first place will be used in the release of updated student cards.

The official presentation of regional transport cards with the design of the Decade of Science and Technology will take place at the anniversary V Congress of Young Scientists, which will be held on November 26–28, 2025, in the federal territory of Sirius.
