On July 15, 2025, the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia launches an updated state Open Data Portal. It is a comprehensive system that ensures transparency in the work of government bodies and provides centralized access to open information for all citizens and organizations in the country. In the future, the functionality of the portal will be further developed and expanded, including at the suggestions of businesses.

According to Vladimir Voloshin, Director of the Department of Digital Development and Data Economy of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, openness of data today is not just access to information, but a working tool for business, public administration, development and training of artificial intelligence technologies.

"The launch of the new portal will be an important step in the development of the state's digital ecosystem, providing citizens and businesses with relevant and easy-to-use information. The updated version of the Portal has received more than 10 new functional solutions aimed at increasing user convenience, improving data visualization and compliance with modern security requirements," Vladimir Voloshin emphasized.

The key changes affected the updated interface design, expanded functionality for monitoring the maintenance of data set passports, personal accounts for users and information providers. The interactive map of the subjects of the Russian Federation provides a list of legitimate data providers. Users can now visualize data sets in graphic form, analyze statistics through BI tools, and receive prompt assistance through a chat bot based on artificial intelligence.

"When developing the updated Portal, we proceeded from the need to create a convenient space that will allow you to work effectively with open data, including having clear navigation. For this purpose, a full-text search is provided, which covers all sections of the system. Information providers are available in the registry with filters by name, type of organization, region and other parameters. Data sets are accompanied by statistics on views and downloads, the ability to filter and unload in machine-readable formats. In addition, we tried to make the Portal useful in terms of filling it with high-quality data sets, including the functionality of sending a request for the preparation and publication of in-demand data that is currently not presented on the portal," commented Vladimir Voloshin, adding that about five thousand data sets have been uploaded so far, and that in the future, it is planned to refine the functionality of the portal, taking into account the wishes of users and businesses.

The portal fully complies with the requirements of the Methodological Recommendations for the Publication of Open Data version 4.0, including the automation of the formation of data set passports, verification of format-logical control and integration with the Unified Identification and Authentication System.

The updated Open Data Portal is available at Date.gov.ru.

HSE researchers teach neural networks to distinguish origins from genetically close populations

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

INInstitute of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Sciences FKN HSE University has proposed a new approach based on modern machine learning methods to determine a person's genetic origin. Graph neural networks make it possible to distinguish even very close populations with high accuracy.

Genetic analysis is a service that has become popular in the last 10-15 years not only as a medical diagnostic tool, but also as an opportunity to learn more about one's origins. DNA analysis allows one to assess ethnic composition, determine where ancestors lived and moved, and find the number of Neanderthal mutations in the genome.

This has become possible thanks to the development of modern technologies – genotyping, data storage and processing systems, machine learning – and a significant reduction in their cost. But at the same time, existing testing methods do not allow us to separate genetically close, related populations that have lived in adjacent territories for a long time.

Researchers at the HSE Institute of AI and Digital Sciences have developed a method that allows one to distinguish the origins of people from closely related populations. The technology is based on graph neural networks. The algorithm relies not on the DNA sequence itself, but on graphs that indicate genetic connections between people with common sections of the genome. Such sections reflect the degree of kinship between people and indicate how many generations ago they had common ancestors. The more matches, the closer the people are in origin. The vertices in the model correspond to a person, and the edges reflect the degree of kinship.

The method was tested on data from different regions. The results for the population of the East European Plain, for which a large database has already been collected, were especially interesting. The graph neural network was able to accurately determine the population affiliation of representatives of genetically very close peoples.

"Existing methods of genetic analysis solve a different problem: they determine belonging to large isolated populations, for example, they determine who had French, who had Germans, who had English in their ancestry. Our method allows us to work with closely related populations, which is especially relevant for Russia, a historically multinational country," says Alexey Shmelev, one of the authors of the work, a research intern.International Laboratory of Statistical and Computational GenomicsInstitute of AI and Digital Sciences, Faculty of Computer Science, National Research University Higher School of Economics.

In the future, the researchers plan to teach the neural network to predict the percentage of different populations in the genome.

The researchers registered theirdevelopmentcalled AncestryGNN — "Neural Network Prediction of Population Belonging from Common Genome Segments."

As Vladimir Shchur, head of the International Laboratory of Statistical and Computational Genomics at the Institute of AI and Digital Sciences of the Faculty of Computer Science at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, noted, the proposed method opens up new prospects for more accurately determining the population history of people and can be used in genealogical research and anthropology.

Moscow entrepreneurs are strengthening their positions in the global market of healthy food products. With the support of the Moscow Export Center (MEC), protein and fruit bars, muesli, cereals, breads and other capital products are supplied to more than 20 countries, including China, the UAE, India, Brazil and the CIS countries.

In 2024 and the first half of 2025, the volume of healthy food exports from Moscow supported by the MEC exceeded 1.3 billion rubles.

"There is a growing demand among consumers for healthy food products. In a highly competitive market, not only the natural composition is important, but also the overall compliance of the product with the expectations of the target audience. The wide geography of Moscow healthy food products exports speaks of the trust of foreign consumers in goods produced in Moscow," she noted.

Kristina Kostroma, Head of the Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovative Development of Moscow.

As part of the implementation of export support programs, the Moscow company Snaksi received the opportunity to enter the international online trading platform 1688.com. As a result of the placement, a contract was concluded for the supply of protein bars and healthy chocolate to China.

The Melas company took advantage of the support service of a representative of the Moscow Export Center in China, ultimately concluding a contract for the supply of Dr. Körner crispbreads, already well known to Russian consumers, to China.

SVD-Group successfully presented its products at the Gulfood 2024 international exhibition. The result was a contract for the supply of muesli, crispbread, bran and freeze-dried berries to the UAE.

As part of the promotion of products of capital exporters with the support of the MEC, Moscow producers of healthy food take part in international festivals and fairs "Made in Russia" in friendly countries. These events are held jointly with the Russian Export Center. Products of Moscow companies were presented at four major fairs in China and the UAE, which were held from November 2024 to May 2025.

The Moscow Export Center was established by the Moscow Government in 2017 to provide financial and non-financial support measures to Moscow entrepreneurs in order to promote Moscow goods and services on foreign markets. The Moscow Export Center is a subordinate organization Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovative DevelopmentOne of its key tasks is to increase the number of Moscow exporters and grow their export revenue.

Today, the MEC provides the capital's business with comprehensive support at all stages of the export route – from preparation and training in foreign economic activity (FEA) to promotion abroad, assistance in increasing sales of financial incentives for FEA after concluding export contracts. Currently, the MEC's toolkit includes more than 30 support measures.

Participants of the “Call Back Yourself” project seminar will be told about investment fraud schemes

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

At the urban project seminar "Call me back yourself" will tell about new types of fraud. These may be messages about supposedly profitable investments of savings in company shares under the guidance of an experienced investor, about capitalization at high interest rates, about participation in non-existent innovative projects, as well as fake investments in startups and other financial schemes for deceiving residents.

"Investments and savings deposits with interest are an opportunity to receive passive income and accumulate funds. However, it is important to remember that no financial institution will work at a loss to itself and offer interest rates higher than the market average or guaranteed profitability conditions for a project that is just starting up. Fraudsters use various tricks and techniques to convince residents to transfer money to accounts: they create websites with advantageous offers similar to well-known companies, offer deposits on extremely favorable terms, and promise a several-fold increase in profits. At the new seminar of the "Call Me Back" project, experts will tell you what to pay attention to when receiving advantageous financial offers so as not to fall for the tricks of intruders, and will also remind you of the importance of cyber hygiene," said Valentina Shilina, head of the "Call Me Back" project of the capital's Department of Information Technology.

The event will take place on July 17 at 11:00. It can be visited in person or join the broadcast on a social network "VKontakte".

Representatives of the capital's Department of Information Technology, Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the city of Moscow, experts from the Financial Literacy Center of the city of Moscow and the National Association of Bond Market Participants.

Using real-life examples, they will explain popular techniques of fraudsters in the field of financial pyramids and investments, share tips on how to protect your savings and funds, and answer questions from participants.

For example, scammers deceive city dwellers using duplicate websites, job interviews in companies where they promise high income after purchasing products, investing in startups and even multiplayer games. They use similar techniques for different audiences: an offer, convincing of reliability through false guarantees and fake documents, pressure on emotions and pushing to make a quick decision, pressure with authority or persuasion.

Following the seminar, the project website will be updated in the section "Webinar Archive" A recording and useful materials based on expert recommendations will be available.

The online information project "Call Back Yourself" was created in 2022 by the Moscow Government together with the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the city of Moscow. It helps city residents protect themselves and their loved ones from telephone and online fraud. The project's website contains information about upcoming in-person and online events, as well as memos and recommendations from experts, recordings of past webinars and other useful materials.

In 2023, the Call Me Back project won the Golden Site award in the Best Social Project Website category. It was also awarded the Runet Prize in the Information Security category.

The creation and support of information security tools, as well as counteracting cyber fraud, corresponds to the objectives of the national project "Data Economy and Digital Transformation of the State".

Since June 2021, when resettlement began under the renovation program in the Butyrsky District, more than 1.3 thousand city residents have received comfortable housing in new buildings. This was reported by Ekaterina Solovieva, Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Department of City Property.

"Four years ago, the first to receive notifications about the start of resettlement under the renovation program in the Butyrsky District were about 430 Muscovites from house 28, blocks 1 and 2 on Yablochkova Street. Today, more than 1.3 thousand city residents from seven buildings of the old housing stock already have new apartments in the district. In total, about 4.5 thousand people from 27 houses are to be resettled here under the renovation program. The city provides housing with ready-made improved finishing so that Muscovites do not have to postpone moving because of repairs," said Ekaterina Solovyova.

This year, residents of the Butyrsky District began inspecting apartments in two new buildings – house 28 on Yablochkova Street and house 7, block 2 on Milashenkova Street. The residential complexes were built taking into account the principles of a barrier-free environment. The same criteria were observed in the improvement of the adjacent territories, which is especially important for city residents with disabilities, older people and families with small children.

"Since the beginning of the program, the city has handed over three residential complexes in the Butyrsky District of the capital for settlement. In total, 694 apartments with finished improved finishes have been designed in them. Nine of them have been adapted for people with limited mobility – the width of corridors and doorways has been increased, and special handrails have been provided in the bathrooms. Elevators have also been installed in the entrances of the new buildings, rooms for concierges and storage rooms for strollers and bicycles have been equipped. The areas around the buildings have been improved: comprehensive landscaping has been carried out, outdoor lighting and video surveillance cameras have been installed. In addition, areas for active recreation and sports have been equipped in the courtyards," clarified the Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Department of Urban Development Policy
