New-generation KAMAZ-52222 electric buses have been launched on route No. 776, which runs between the Novogireevo metro station and the Novogireevo station of the Moscow Central Diameter 4. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry. Maxim Liksutov.

"Following Sergei Sobyanin's instructions, we continue to develop the electric bus network. Electric vehicles are coming to the capital, replacing buses. This improves travel comfort and the environment. Two modern Russian-made electric buses are operating on the new route in the Eastern Administrative District," added Maxim Liksutov.

KAMAZ-52222 electric buses operate in three districts of the Eastern Administrative District: Ivanovsky, Novogireevo, and Perovo. Now, trips to popular recreation areas, public gardens, medical and educational institutions, and other destinations will be even more comfortable.

Why are electric buses better than buses?

Moscow is developing environmentally friendly ground transportation. Innovative vehicles comfortably and safely transport passengers to metro stations, as well as to important social, cultural, sports facilities, and other popular landmarks.

Replacing one bus with an electric one reduces carbon dioxide emissions by more than 60 tons per year. These innovative vehicles offer a smooth ride, no noise, and no vibration. Inside, they feature media screens with information about upcoming stops and charging ports for gadgets, a climate control system, and door release buttons to maintain an optimal temperature. An air curtain is activated when the doors are opened.

A folding ramp and a driver call button make electric buses comfortable for people with disabilities. Special spaces are also provided for them. Strollers, bicycles, and large luggage can be stored in the storage area.

You can pay for your fare using any convenient payment method using digital validators located near the doors. For passenger safety, the vehicles are equipped with video cameras both inside and outside.

New generation electric buses

Starting in 2022, the capital will receive upgraded vehicles. These electric buses feature adaptive interior lighting, which switches from cool to warm at 2:00 PM for passenger comfort. The front route sign, enlarged by 18 percent, allows for easy identification from a distance. An electric heater inside the vehicle is environmentally friendly and maintains an optimal temperature. The driving range has increased from 40–50 to 80–90 kilometers. Meanwhile, the vehicle's weight remains unchanged.

In 2025, the new-generation KAMAZ-52222 electric buses entered service. They are even more comfortable thanks to a redesigned cabin layout, a 15 percent larger storage area, additional carry-on luggage space, and a redesigned door. The climate control system has been made more efficient, and the doors now feature light strips indicating opening and closing. The exterior design of the electric buses is in line with modern trends in global industrial design.

Innovative vehicles are being developed based on operating experience from earlier models and passenger feedback. Moscow's order for new technology supports employment in the regions and stimulates the development of domestic industry. All electric buses meet the most stringent safety and service standards.

Electric bus depots

Today, electric buses are serviced at 12 Mosgortrans sites. Moscow was the first in the country to begin building modern electric bus depots. In 2022, the first electric bus depot in Russia and the largest in Europe, "Krasnaya Pakhra," opened in the New Moscow.

Eco-friendly buses began operating in the Novomoskovsky and Troitsky administrative districts. A year later, the Mitino bus depot was built in the northwest. With its arrival, electric buses began operating in 20 districts of the capital and two nearby cities in the Moscow region. At the end of 2023, a third innovative electric bus depot, Saltykovka, began operating. It serves routes in the east of the city.

With new transport deliveries and the development of charging infrastructure, Moscow will see even more electric bus routes, making travel more comfortable and environmentally friendly.

In accordance with the objectives of the national project Infrastructure for Life Moscow is placing significant emphasis on modernizing its social and public infrastructure, including increasing the number of convenient public transportation routes and upgrading its rolling stock. Furthermore, as part of the national project, the capital has begun developing the Central Transportation Hub. It will become a unified transport system with predictable commuter rail service for over 30 million residents in 11 Russian regions.

This year, the V.A. Tropinin Museum and the Moscow artists of his time, subordinate to the capital’s Department of Culture, is turning 55. To celebrate its birthday, the "Following My Dream" festival will be held at the institution's premises from February 11th to 15th. The program includes overview and thematic excursions, dedicated to the history of the building and the museum itself, the collection and current exhibitions, as well as lectures, master classes in the watercolor painting studio and a lottery. Entry bypre-registration.

The museum, which opened in 1971 thanks to the efforts of Moscow collector and art historian Felix Vishnevsky (1903–1978), was initially a branch of the Ostankino Palace Museum of Serf Art, but after 1991 it began to function as an independent organization.

Over more than half a century, the collections have expanded significantly: while in the 1970s they contained approximately 300 items, by 2025 their number exceeded 3,500.

The museum is often called a "small Tretyakov Gallery" due to the artistic value of its collection. Among the collection's masterpieces are Vasily Tropinin's "Self-Portrait with Brushes and Palette Against a Window Overlooking the Kremlin," "The Lacemaker," "Girl with a Pot of Roses," "Girl with a Dog," portraits of the merchant couple the Kiselevs, Sergei Kushnikov, Sergei Golitsyn, and other works, as well as works by Ivan Argunov, Fyodor Rokotov, Dmitry Levitsky, Vladimir Borovikovsky, Sylvester Shchedrin, Orest Kiprensky, Louis Caravaca, and Pietro Rotari.

The collection also features works by famous artists of the second half of the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries: Ivan Aivazovsky, Boris Kustodiev, Vasily Polenov, Pyotr Konchalovsky, Pavel Kuznetsov, Lev Bakst, Natalia Goncharova, and other masters.

The museum also conducts active educational activities and collaborates closely with the Moscow collector community, which regularly participates in exhibitions. This provides an opportunity to introduce residents and visitors to the capital to unique items from private collections. Furthermore, inter-museum projects—travelling exhibitions—are implemented with great success in cities across Russia.

Every year, the museum becomes increasingly popular with residents and visitors to the capital. The museum offers lectures and hosts meetings with cultural figures. A family art workshop is open for parents with children, offering master classes, quests, and tours.

"From Portrait to Lorgnette." How a New Exhibition at the Tropinin Museum Changes the Understanding of His Collection

Felix Vishnevsky was born into a Moscow family of hereditary merchants and Russian-Polish nobles. His father, Yevgeny Vishnevsky, was an architect, collector, and the last chairman of the Moscow Art Society. Under his guidance, Felix began collecting. In 1918, he participated in the organization of the First Proletarian Museum in Moscow. From 1925 to 1928, he worked as a junior research fellow at the State Historical Museum while simultaneously studying at the Faculty of Fine Arts at Lomonosov Moscow State University.

From 1958 to 1969, Felix Vishnevsky worked as a senior researcher at the State A.S. Pushkin Museum. In 1964, he became the first private collector in the USSR to secure state registration of the most valuable portion of his collection, which at that time numbered 132 works.

Until the end of his life, Felix Vishnevsky worked as the museum's chief curator and lived in the mezzanine of the manor house. As a philanthropist, he supported many Russian museums, enriching their collections with art.

Speaking about the V.A. Tropinin Museum and the Moscow artists of his time, the collector noted that he "collects an era," not just paintings and graphic works. Therefore, the collection is rich in decorative and applied art, furniture, interior accessories, and clothing. Felix Vishnevsky also curated a large collection of antique frames, which, like the furniture, he often restored himself.

Specialists urban economy complex More than 800 apartment building facades were repaired last year, according to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Utilities, and Urban Development. Petr Biryukov.

"Facade renovation is a crucial part of a major overhaul, as it's not only a fundamental component of a building's appearance but also an integral part of its thermal envelope. Last year, we completed over 800 facade renovations, with the most extensive work carried out in the Central, Eastern, and Northern Administrative Districts," noted Pyotr Biryukov.

For each type of façade, special technologies were used to fully restore the technical characteristics and appearance of the building.

Brick facades undergo mandatory hydrophobization. This modern treatment method protects against the damaging effects of temperature fluctuations and high humidity. When restoring painted facades of panel buildings, specialists first correct the panel geometry. In the second stage, they fill the interpanel joints with sealant, after which the facade is primed and painted in two coats, added Petr Biryukov.

Repairs to building facades clad with small ceramic tiles are carried out using a polymer-cement mixture on reinforcing mesh. A facade repaired using this technology will last at least 30 years, as confirmed by numerous tests.

All paints used for the work have high vapor permeability properties, which ensures their resistance to moisture and long-term color retention.

Protecting the city from fires and other threats is one of the Moscow Government's most important tasks. Sergei Sobyanin spoke about how the capital is developing its fire and rescue infrastructure. on my blog.

"The capital is growing, and our fire and rescue garrison must grow along with it. Therefore, we build new fire stations every year, renovate existing facilities, and purchase a wealth of modern equipment, including heavy and unique equipment like helicopters and boats," the Moscow Mayor noted.

New infrastructure facilities

Since 2011, 26 fire station buildings with a total area of over 95,000 square meters have been built in the capital as part of the Targeted Investment Program.

In 2025, five new fire and rescue teams were created for the Moscow Fire Service: in the Bekasovo, Filimonkovsky, Shcherbinka, Kommunarka districts, on the ZIL Peninsula, and in the Danilovsky District.

The three-story building of Fire and Rescue Unit No. 219 on the ZIL Peninsula houses a garage for four fire trucks, and the adjacent territory has two entrances and a parking lot for 10 cars.

The building contains modern classrooms and a recovery center with a psychological relief room, office space, rest and dining rooms for employees, a gym, a communications center, and storage and maintenance facilities for fire-fighting equipment.

A tower with a climbing wall and a sports ground were built for staff training, and training fire hydrants were installed.

A fire station designed to accommodate 144 specialists was built in the Kommunarka district for Fire and Rescue Squad No. 322. In addition to standard facilities, the station also houses a "Heat and Smoke Chamber" training complex for practicing in non-breathable environments, as well as a challenging obstacle course. The complex allows for training in conditions as close to real-life as possible.

Over the next two years, they plan to build two more new facilities: in the Rudnev industrial zone in Kosino-Ukhtomsky and in the Bogorodskoye district.

Reconstruction and major repairs

Since 2011, a total of 30 fire station buildings have undergone reconstruction and major repairs, three of which were completed last year.

The work is carried out in accordance with the specific requirements of the Ministry of Emergency Situations: specialists not only adhere to the standards set out in the documents but also take into account the needs of the personnel of specific units. For example, they redesign premises, equip gyms, dining and recreation rooms, and improve adjacent areas.

Fire Station No. 36 at 4 Yuzhnaya Street in Shcherbinka was recently modernized. Today, the unit meets the latest standards: comfortable break rooms for personnel, and the surrounding area has been landscaped. At the request of the firefighters, drying rooms for uniforms have been installed, complete with drying cabinets.

Fire Station No. 52 on Fruktovaya Street (Building 24), which has been ensuring the safety of residents of Zyuzino and other surrounding areas for over 90 years, has also been renovated. Its premises are equipped with new engineering systems, including a fire alarm, notification systems, access control and management, and power, water, and heat supply systems, ensuring the optimal functioning of the facility.

Fire Station No. 10 on 3rd Kolobovsky Lane (Building 8, Bldg. 4) in the Tverskoy District has undergone renovations, now boasting improved layouts, including duty and administrative offices, changing rooms and showers, and dining and rest rooms. The latter create a homey and friendly atmosphere.

Repair work continues this year. In Konkovo, the renovation of Fire Station No. 56 is nearing completion. The utility systems are currently being adjusted.

Another one, Fire and Rescue Station No. 3 in the Savelovsky District, is currently undergoing repairs.

The building was constructed over 100 years ago. It was regularly modernized: stables were replaced by garages. And a hose-drying station was installed in the watchtower.

To ensure firefighters feel at home during their breaks and undergo professional training in a comfortable and safe environment, the building's façade and roof will be renovated, and all interior spaces will be fully finished to match their intended purpose.

Work is scheduled to begin this year in three fire stations, with completion scheduled for 2027: in Severnoye Tushino (No. 39), in Perovo (No. 5), and in Pechatniki (No. 49).

Equipment of the fire and rescue garrison

Moscow firefighters have the latest and most effective equipment at their disposal. Over the past 15 years alone, more than 780 pieces of equipment and over 151,000 units of emergency rescue equipment and firefighting gear have been purchased for the Moscow rescue garrison.

In 2025, 70 units of primary and specialized equipment were purchased, including tank trucks, aerial ladders, emergency rescue vehicles, and a mobile control panel.

In addition, firefighters received 75 units of auxiliary equipment, including, for example, an all-terrain vehicle and a Ka-32 helicopter.

For firefighters and rescuers, 43,000 units of personal protective equipment, emergency rescue equipment, and fire-fighting equipment were purchased.

"We will continue to develop the fire service—building modern depots, upgrading existing facilities, and equipping units with cutting-edge technology to continue to guarantee a high level of protection for Muscovites," concluded Sergei Sobyanin.

On February 21, the Theatre on Malaya Ordynka, subordinate to the capital Department of Culturewill present a large-scale multimedia performance directed by Eduard Boyakov. Cathedral SquareThe production first took place in 2024 at the Moskino Cinema Park, with the action taking place in the open space of the Cathedral Square venue.

Viewers will be immersed in the Time of Troubles of the late 16th and early 17th centuries and learn of the victory of the Russian army, led by merchant Kuzma Minin and Prince Dmitry Pozharsky, over the Polish invaders. The plot centers on the story of young Matryona. Through her personal journey, the production explores the theme of conciliarity—the ability of people to unite in the face of adversity.

Guests will witness key events in national history unfold before their eyes—the discovery of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, the Time of Troubles in Moscow, and Kuzma Minin's patriotic appeal in Nizhny Novgorod. The dramatic climax will be an episode from the battle for the liberation of Moscow.

The performance will feature musical accompaniment by the band "25/17," lighting effects, and video mapping—3D projections onto the sets of the Moscow Kremlin's cathedrals and chambers, creating an augmented reality effect.

"The very phrase 'Cathedral Square' articulates a remarkable theatrical situation: we are dealing with the capital's grand architecture, and simultaneously with the phenomenon of sobornost' (commonplace). Sobornost' (commonplace) is a uniquely Russian concept, unparalleled in other languages. It is a key quality in the Russian character, opposed to individualism and egoism. The fate of Russia was decided within the space of the Kremlin's Cathedral Square. This seems well-known—it was described by Pushkin, served as the basis for operas by Glinka, Mussorgsky, and Rimsky-Korsakov… However, in reality, we have only a very vague understanding of the Time of Troubles, and indeed of the historical events of the 17th century. First through cinema, and now through the even more astonishing language of theater, we strive to fill this gap in our understanding of our own history," noted director Eduard Boyakov.

The project's concept utilizes the image of Our Lady of Kazan, in whose honor Dmitry Pozharsky built a church on Red Square. The performance will feature theater and film actors, including Mikhail Kabanov, Maria Kancher, Anastasia Strugacheva, Elena Zakharova, and others.

The production also included production designer and decorator Alexander Tsvetnoy, lighting designer Alexey Naumov, choreographer Nikita Moshkov, and others.

The performances will run until March 31st, admission bytickets.
