Investors will be able to build industrial facilities and public and business complexes in the Eastern and Novomoskovsky administrative districts of the capital as part of the implementation of large-scale investment projects (MaIP). Vladimir Efimov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction.

"The city has put out to public auction the rights to conclude agreements for the implementation of three large-scale investment projects in the Eastern and Novomoskovsky administrative districts. The winning bidders will be able to subsequently lease land plots totaling 1.86 hectares at a preferential rate of one ruble per year for the construction of approximately 250,000 square meters of industrial, public, and commercial real estate. The construction of these facilities will contribute to the creation of jobs and the development of modern infrastructure in these areas of the capital," said Vladimir Efimov.

Starting in 2024, the city will hold special tenders to encourage businesses to participate in the MAIP. Winners will receive the right to lease land for three months to build various real estate projects at a preferential rate of one ruble per year.

For example, in the east of the capital, in the Sokolinaya Gora area, as part of the implementation of a large-scale investment project, an investor will be able to build a light industry enterprise onplot area of 0.29 hectares.

"At Sergei Sobyanin's direction, the city is creating conditions for sustainable industrial development: investors are given the opportunity to implement projects to build new enterprises on preferential lease terms—just one ruble per year. This approach allows for the creation of modern production facilities, which become a key driver of Moscow's economic growth. For example, in the Sokolinaya Gora district, investors will be able to implement a large-scale investment project. A light industry facility with an area of approximately two thousand square meters will be built on Burakov Street," noted the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.

Maxim Liksutov.

One plot The 0.92-hectare site is located at the intersection of Alexandra Monakhova Street and Mechnikov Boulevard, near the exit to Kaluga Highway. It will accommodate nearly 157,900 square meters of commercial and public real estate.

Second section The nearly 0.65-hectare site is located near Yudinsky Boulevard, opposite the Kommunarka Moscow Multidisciplinary Clinical Center and just a few minutes' walk from the Olkhovaya metro station. Here, the investor will be able to build a public and business complex covering approximately 89,000 square meters.

Sputnik, triptych, and 18th-century carriages: How city museums are updating their exhibitions

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Moscow museums' exhibits are regularly updated, showcasing items that have recently been added to collections or have been in storage for a long time.

Cosmonautics Museum: the Mayak satellite and triptych

IN Cosmonautics Museum In recent years, more than 10 large and small modern satellites have arrived. All of them belong to the space technology collection and are listed in the museum's acquisitions book, which has been maintained since the collection's inception in 1969.

One of them, the Tomsk-TPU-120 nanosatellite, is the first Russian spacecraft created using 3D technology. The SiriusSat-1 scientific and educational satellite (a CubeSat 1U nanosatellite), which arrived at the museum in 2023, was created by students from the Sirius Educational Center in Sochi. A similar satellite was launched by cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev on August 15, 2018, from the International Space Station. The Museum of Cosmonautics' collection currently contains over 100,000 items, a significant portion of which are artifacts from various periods of space exploration.

On September 27 at 4:00 PM, a ceremonial transfer of a new item—a backup for the Mayak satellite—will take place to the museum's collection. This is the first Russian spacecraft created by space enthusiasts through crowdfunding. Mayak was launched into Earth orbit on July 14, 2017, from the Baikonur Cosmodrome aboard a Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle, along with the Kanopus-V-IK spacecraft. The satellite will be featured in future exhibition projects.

Additionally, until the end of the year, the "Space House in Orbit" hall will display a rare group of objects from the museum's collections: a triptych by the distinguished artist and illustrator Mikhail Romadin, "Past," "Present," "Future" (1986). The first part, "Past," was acquired by the museum from the Rosizo State Museum and Exhibition Center in 1987, and the other two in 1994.

The works represent three eras, each of which the artist depicts through their main symbols. All the paintings are oil and, according to the artist's design, are to be displayed in a diamond-shaped pattern. "The Past" introduces the theme through humanity's greatest achievements in the exploration of the skies. The first conqueror of the skies, Icarus, is surrounded by the Montgolfier brothers' balloon, Leonardo da Vinci's drawings, photographs by Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, airplanes, and paragliders.

Mikhail Romadin created the central section as a sketch while preparing the stylistic concept for Andrei Tarkovsky's film Solaris (1972), but the idea was never realized on screen. The artist decided to use the sketch as the basis for the future triptych. The painting depicts a cosmonaut in a spacesuit, surrounded by iconic examples of space technology: a Vostok rocket blasting off into space, the recovering section of the Luna-16 unmanned space station, the deployable solar panels of orbital stations, and the Salyut orbital station itself, which ushered in the era of continuous human presence in space. The upper right corner of the painting is "torn apart" by an artificial Earth satellite—the first man-made object launched into space.

The final part of the triptych transports us far beyond our planet. In the upper left corner of the painting, the multicolored clouds of Jupiter are visible, alongside a futuristic spaceship and a jetpack (a device for space travel). The year 2000 is inscribed on the surface of the spaceship.

You can view the paintings, as well as see some examples of space technology, presented in the paintings of Mikhail Romadin, atentrance ticket to the museum.

Ostankino and Kuskovo: Restoration of carriages

City museums care for the items in their collections and create conditions that ensure their maximum preservation. Until August of this year,Kuskovo estate The museum housed 18th-century items—a Sheremetev family carriage and a carriage acquired in the 20th century from the Moscow Kremlin Museums.

Now, for the first time, the items have been transferred outside the estate—to the recently opened state-of-the-art Ostankino Estate Restoration and Storage Center. Here, the carriages are being provided with proper storage conditions, and restoration plans are underway. Before their careful transportation, the exhibits were carefully prepared: led by Alexander Kozmin, head of the painting restoration workshop, representatives of the V.I. Surikov Moscow State Academic Art Institute carried out dust removal and carefully packed the carriages for transport.

The exhibition of new acquisitions is open now and in State Museum of A.S. Pushkin, it showcases his professional achievements in the fields of acquisition, scientific study, and restoration. Until October 12, visitors can see approximately 100 works of painting, graphic art, and decorative and applied art, furniture samples, rare books, and archival materials.

In particular, the exhibition features a rare item from Pushkin's era—the painting "The Artificial Mineral Water Establishment of Christian Loder in Moscow." It is believed to have been painted by Nikolai Zheren. Physician Christian Loder opened his medical establishment in 1828 on Ostozhenka Street, where many members of the Moscow aristocracy, including acquaintances of Alexander Pushkin, frequented the establishment. Also on display are two graphic works by Alexander Orlovsky, a contemporary and friend of the poet.

Over the past six years, 1.5 billion trips have been made on the Moscow Central Diameters (MCD).

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Since the launch of the Moscow Central Diameters (MCD), passengers have made 1.5 billion trips. Average daily passenger traffic has doubled, reaching 1.6 million trips. The MCD's popularity has been boosted, among other things, by the introduction of 398 modern trains, including new-generation Ivolga trains, double-decker Aeroexpress trains, and EP2D trains.

"Over the six years of operation, the diameters have proven their effectiveness and demand: 1.5 billion trips are the best confirmation that we made the right move by launching this project. The MCDs have become a fully-fledged mode of transport that Muscovites and residents of the region can rely on every day. Following Sergei Sobyanin's instructions, we will continue to develop the diameter network and build new Moscow city railway stations to make travel even more convenient and faster," he noted.

Maxim Liksutov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.

The largest number of trips on a working day occurs at the stations:

— MCD-1: Slavyansky Bulvar (33.4 thousand trips per day), Odintsovo (32.4 thousand), Belorusskaya (22.2 thousand);

— MCD-2: Tsaritsyno (31.2 thousand), Podolsk (25.6 thousand), Streshnevo (22.2 thousand);

— MCD-3: Vykhino (41.2 thousand), Zelenograd – Kryukovo (33 thousand), Lyubertsy (25.4 thousand);

— MCD-4: Zheleznodorozhnaya (38 thousand), Kurskaya (32.4 thousand), Nizhny Novgorod (28.3 thousand).

Before the launch of the diameters, outdated trains operated on these routes. They have been replaced by comfortable Ivolga trains, with an average age of no more than five years. The trains are equipped with air conditioning and air disinfection systems, as well as charging ports for devices, and feature spacious, bright interiors and comfortable seats.

In addition, the interval between trains during rush hours has been reduced by 1.5 times and now amounts to five to seven minutes, making this type of transport predictable.

Since the launch of the MCD, construction of new stations and renovation of existing ones, the creation of modern Moscow city railway stations, and the development of track infrastructure have continued. Today, 52 of Moscow's 85 city railway stations are located on the four diameters.

The first Moscow Central Diameters (MCDs) were launched in the Moscow region almost six years ago. They have improved transportation accessibility for over 10 million city and regional residents. The overground metro network extends over 300 kilometers, serving 137 stations. The diameters are seamlessly integrated into the transportation framework of the capital and the Moscow region, providing convenient integration with the metro, the Moscow Central Circle (MCC), and other modes of transport. Direct routes across Moscow have also been added, with trains now running directly through Moscow, not just to the train stations.

Muscovites, residents of the surrounding region, and visitors to the city can use four diameters. MCD-1 opened on November 21, 2019, connecting Odintsovo and Lobnya. That same year, MCD-2 opened, running from Podolsk to Nakhabino. In 2023, MCD-3 opened, running from Ramenskoye to Zelenograd, and MCD-4, connecting Aprelevka to Zheleznodorozhny.
