The capital has charitable programs for mothers in difficult life situations. These include women raising children with disabilities, pregnant women, mothers with many children, and single mothers. Having received support and regained their footing, they often later join the large community of caring citizens.

You can help the wards of non-profit organizations (NPOs) implementing humanitarian projects for women with the help of charitable service mos.ru lists over 100 verified NGOs. They are listed in the Moscow Charity Organizations Registry, regularly report on the use of their funds, and publish stories of those they support.

Mos.ru users can select one or more nonprofits, make a one-time donation, or start supporting them regularly. The service also allows for a single payment to support all programs across nine categories: Children, Adults, Seniors, Animals, Combat Veterans, Families, People with Disabilities, Ecology, and Science and Education. Muscovites can also create their own collection for one of these categories.

Help mothers of children with rare diseases

The Rare Women Foundation's project Butterfly Children has become a source of support for many mothers raising children with rare diseases such as epidermolysis bullosa and ichthyosis. Women can take advantage of several support programs, including psychological counseling, additional education, and coaching. This support helps them cope with emotional burnout and depression, realize their goals, and become not only a support system but also a role model for their child.

In 2025, the Butterfly Children charity foundation received a grant from the Mayor of Moscow for further project developmentThe funds will be used to create educational materials, conduct an information campaign, and provide legal consultations.

"It's important for a woman to be able to focus on her own desires beyond her child's illness. Many 'rare' mothers lack the resources and strength to do so. This grant will allow us to reach more beneficiaries, providing them with tools for recovery and self-fulfillment," said Alena Kuratova, director of the Butterfly Children Foundation.

This year, the project received a new status—it was registered as an autonomous non-profit organization, "Rare Women." This allowed it to expand its support to the federal level.

Put together a food package and things for the children

Fund Women for Life The foundation works for pregnant women, families with many children, and single mothers who find themselves in difficult life situations. They can seek psychological support, medical and financial assistance, and legal advice. The foundation created the "Mom's Window" project. It helps women quickly receive essential food packages, clothing and footwear for themselves and their children, stationery, hygiene products, and special holiday gifts, such as elegant New Year's dresses for girls. Over the years, the project has provided such assistance to nearly 11,000 women and their children.

"The project launched in February 2020. It all started with a spontaneous desire to help—we simply went to the store, bought groceries, and distributed them to those in need. This kind of support was especially important during the quarantine, especially for families where one of the breadwinners had lost their job or the mother was raising a child alone. And we realized that food assistance should be ongoing," noted Natalia Moskvitina, president of the Women for Life charitable foundation.

Thus, special “collection boxes” were placed in which caring citizens can leave necessary goodsThey accept products in factory packaging with a long shelf life (groceries and cereals, pasta, baby food, cookies, candy, tea, and more). You can also support the project through monetary donations, which will then be used to purchase necessary items and food.

Inspire by personal example

Many women who have experienced hardship and received support often want to join the volunteer community themselves. The resource center provides such opportunities. MosvolonterMuscovites are participating in events, good projects, and campaigns: from collecting humanitarian aid to master classes at volunteer centers. Good Place.

Mothers who volunteer instill in their children a love of good deeds and dedicate their family time to volunteering. For example, Natalia Yakovleva, a mother of two sons, has been volunteering for over four years. She has focused on several areas—sports, environmentalism, and animal volunteering. Together with her children and husband, Natalia Yakovleva visits homeless animals in city shelters, beautifies parks and nature reserves, and plants tree saplings. The Yakovleva family participates in charity runs, prepares gifts for the elderly who have lost their families, and helps send children in difficult life situations to school.

"I try to show my sons by personal example how important and rewarding it is to help, so they can continue doing so as adults. Through volunteering, I want to teach them to appreciate what they have and to share their attention and care with those in need. It's always nice to be a little bit of a magician and bring joy to someone with your attention. When the whole family volunteers, it's a great way to combine business with pleasure," shared Natalia Yakovleva.

You can learn more about volunteering on the Mosvolonter resource center website and its social media page. VKontakte and in Telegram channel.

The work and functional development of the charitable service on the mos.ru portal is supervised by the capital Department of Information Technology AndCommittee on Public Relations and Youth Policy with the support of the Public Chamber of Moscow.

The first conference for HR specialists of the Moscow Government was held in the capital.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Moscow Government – Moscow Government –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On December 1, the Moscow Government's first HR conference, "Behind the Scenes," was held at the Lomonosov Innovation Cluster. Over 600 Moscow experts discussed key challenges in the sector and outlined solutions to help the city's team become even stronger.

Labor market

Representatives from HR departments at Moscow-based organizations discussed current challenges, exchanged useful tools, strengthened working relationships, and shared experiences. This open dialogue will enable Moscow organizations to make more informed personnel decisions, thereby more effectively improving the quality of life in the city.

"HR specialists often remain behind the scenes, even though their work and the right tools for attracting, retaining, and developing people directly determine the effectiveness of organizations. It was important for us to highlight those people and practices that often go unnoticed, yet actually support the city's vast system. The conference became a platform for professionals to discuss real-life work situations and share tools that influence the development of organizations in the best city on earth—the capital," said Polina Loginova, Head of the HR Services Department of the Moscow Government.

The labor market situation was a recurring theme at the conference. Key challenges facing the Moscow Government as one of the largest employers were discussed, and solutions were shared that, amidst a labor shortage, help them operate, strengthen teams, support employee development, and enhance internal expertise. A joint presentation on this topic was presented by the event organizer, the HR Services Department, and the career hh.ru platforms not only opened the meeting, but also set the general framework for discussion.

HR strategy in the public sector

One of the event's highlights was a panel discussion with representatives of the winners of the first Moscow Government HR Management Award "In Frame," previously hosted by the management team. The award finalists—leaders from Moscow government agencies and organizations, PSB Bank, and the Kazan City Hall—discussed the transformation of the HR specialist's role, shared talent attraction and retention practices, and proposed solutions for improving the effectiveness of HR management in the public sector.

The country's best HR practices received the Moscow Government's "In Frame" award.

"In a context where all industries are facing unprecedented HR challenges, the public sector must speak the same language with the labor market to remain competitive in the battle for talent. The "Behind the Scenes" conference has become a platform for such dialogue. Here, we not only diagnose common challenges—from staff turnover to finding motivated specialists—but also collaborate on innovative and proactive actions. This approach allows us not only to adapt to change but to build a HR strategy as the foundation for the smooth operation of the entire metropolis," said Pavel Kovalev, Deputy Head of Human Resources at the Moscow Metro.

The conference's key results were the creation of an environment for the free exchange of best practices and the development of a common vision for developing the HR potential of government organizations. This format supports ongoing dialogue and accelerates the implementation of modern HR solutions, strengthening teams in Moscow and other regions.

Irina Bochkova, Deputy Chief of Staff and Head of the HR Policy Department at the Kazan City Hall, noted that government agencies are currently competing with corporations for employees, requiring flexible and effective HR solutions. The best way to find them is through open dialogue and the exchange of best practices with partners from other municipalities. Together, they are creating a new paradigm for public service, instilling values of service in managers, and developing them to meet the demands of the times. According to her, by sharing unique experience, the Moscow Government is setting a trend for HR transformation and fostering growth.

Thanks to such events, the entire Moscow team becomes stronger: HR specialists are changing their approach to working with employees, which helps city services become more efficient and residents more quickly notice improvements in their usual services.

A tour for children of SVO participants was held at Vnukovo Airport.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Moscow Government – Moscow Government –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Schoolchildren from the Troitsky and Novomoskovsky administrative districts, whose parents are participating in a special military operation, took a tour of Vnukovo International Airport named after A.N. Tupolev.

Just like in a real liner

The visit began at the training center, where future aviation specialists are trained. The young guests were told about the airport's history and shown mock-ups of aircraft and airfield equipment. Instructors gave the children an introductory lesson, after which they each performed takeoff and landing in a Tu-154 flight simulator.

The children also took on the role of air traffic controllers: they learned about aircraft tracking equipment and systems, independently determined their flight paths, altitude, and speed, and learned how to use the control panel.

Dogs and a falcon are on guard for safety

At the airport entrance, the young participants underwent security screening. Aviation security personnel demonstrated the operation of introscopes, metal detector frames, and other equipment. There, the children were met by dog handlers and their dog, who explained animal training and the special skills required for such a responsible service.

It turns out that four-legged helpers aren't the only ones involved in airport life. Flight safety is also ensured by ornithologists and their feathered protégé, a tame falcon. The schoolchildren learned how the raptor scares away seagulls, grey partridges, snipes, pigeons, and crows from the airfield, preventing them from getting into airplane engines during takeoff and landing.

In the check-in hall, young guests learned about the specifics of working at the information desk and visited the children's waiting room. In the baggage claim area, they were shown a demonstration of a modern luggage tracing system using artificial intelligence technology.

Anyone can become a pilot

A special part of the program was a meeting with a pilot from one of the airlines based at Vnukovo Airport. He shared the story of his professional journey—from his first training sessions on a training aircraft to piloting modern passenger airliners—and answered questions from the young audience. The children were particularly interested in the emergency situations that experience and professionalism help them overcome.

"It was really interesting to learn about how airplanes work, what lift is, and why a vertical speed indicator is needed. I had no idea how much a pilot and the entire airport crew must know and be able to do!" ninth-grader Polina Dolgova shared her impressions.

The tour concluded with a photo shoot against the backdrop of the airfield apron and runway, where the students received souvenirs. Many students admitted that the event inspired them to seriously consider a career in civil aviation.

More than 1.6 million gas stoves have been inspected in Moscow since the beginning of the year.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

This year, specialists from the city's municipal services department have inspected over 1.6 million gas stoves installed in Moscow residents' apartments. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Utilities, and Urban Development. Petr Biryukov.

"Between January and November, we inspected the functionality and safety compliance of over 1.6 million gas stoves, representing approximately 90 percent of the total. If any violations are detected, gas workers eliminate any safety hazards and provide recommendations for future operation and repair," noted Pyotr Biryukov.

Gas safety issues are constantly under special control. Every year, specialists from Mosgaz JSC conduct scheduled maintenance of all gasified residential buildings in the city.

The average lifespan of a gas stove is 10 to 12 years. After this time, gas valves wear out, burner diffusers become deformed, and oven insulation deteriorates. Maintaining the safe operation of such appliances is impossible, so replacement is necessary. A gas stove must be equipped with a gas control system that shuts off the gas supply if the burner flame goes out.

Responsibility for the maintenance and replacement of gas equipment lies with the owner or tenant of the residential premises.

Information about the dates and times of inspections is posted on boards installed in entrances and courtyards.
