An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

A new complex for the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care is being built on Bolshaya Sukharevskaya Square using several innovative construction technologies. These technologies significantly speed up processes and improve safety on-site. One such technology is the "diaphragm wall," a protective structure used in metro construction. Specialists have already completed its construction, which will allow the foundation of the medical complex to be erected despite the challenging hydrogeological conditions on the site. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction. Vladimir Efimov.

"A number of unique solutions are being used at the construction site of the new complex at the Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care. To create the enclosing structure, we adopted a technology from metropolitan construction, the so-called 'diaphragm wall.' This solution was implemented for the first time in the construction of a medical facility. This monolithic underground structure has now been fully completed, strengthening the pit walls and protecting it from groundwater. The perimeter length of the 'diaphragm wall' is 639 meters, and its depth is up to 25 meters," said Vladimir Efimov.

The construction of a diaphragm wall involves several stages. First, a forewall is formed along the outline of the future building. A grab excavates the soil, making room for the reinforcement cages. The excavation walls are reinforced with bentonite mortar, which is later removed. Metal reinforcement cages are lowered into the prepared space. The final stage is concreting.

"To construct the diaphragm wall enclosure, 180 reinforcement cages were manufactured directly at the construction site of the new building of the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care. Each cage weighs up to seven tons. A total of approximately nine thousand cubic meters of concrete were poured. Specialists also installed a bracing beam that tied the diaphragm wall into a single structure and allowed for further excavation of the pit for the building's future foundation. Furthermore, digital technologies are being used at the construction site of the country's largest medical center to improve the safety and efficiency of all processes. For example, smartwatches for construction workers will be an experiment in using specialized devices to optimize work time," noted the head of the Moscow Department of Civil Engineering.

Alexey Alexandrov.

Additionally, Face ID technology—a construction site access control and management system with facial recognition—will be used. It will prevent unauthorized access to the site and allow for employee time tracking.

Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Moscow Department of Urban Development Policy Vladislav Ovchinsky He added that a remote control system for a construction crane was installed at the construction site of the new building of the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care. He stated that it improves safety by completely eliminating the risk of crane operator falls and minimizing human error. The system is expected to reduce personnel downtime by up to 40 percent and speed up production operations by 10 percent.

Furthermore, during the construction of the new complex at the Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care, specialists are using artificial intelligence and laser scanning to monitor the transportation of goods and waste. Digital meters will help monitor noise emissions from the construction site. The devices capture all adverse sound vibrations generated not by individual sources, but by the entire construction site. The combined effect of all sources is analyzed, including their interaction with the surrounding environment and acoustic conditions.

The construction of a new building, covering approximately 150,000 square meters, is intended to increase the capacity of the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care. It will be one of the most modern medical facilities in Russia, providing all the necessary conditions for the treatment and rehabilitation of patients. The building will be equipped with the latest equipment, including 22 high-tech operating rooms and five minor operating rooms.

The construction of social facilities in Moscow is in line with the goals and initiatives of the national project Infrastructure for LifeMore information about Russia's national projects and the capital's contribution can be found atspecial page.

In 2025, approximately 40 industrial and production facilities were built in the capital. These include research and production complexes, factories, a technology park, a shipyard, water treatment facilities, and other enterprises. Industrial sites have been established in eight districts of the city. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction. Vladimir Efimov.

"The volume of industrial construction in Moscow remains high. In 2025, approximately 40 industrial and production facilities were built, with a total area of over 410,000 square meters. Most of these structures were built by investors—more than 30 buildings, totaling almost 268,000 square meters. By comparison, in 2024, only 20 such facilities were built, using both city and extra-budgetary funds," said Vladimir Efimov.

The construction of new industrial enterprises was made possible by the city's support, particularly through the implementation of a program to stimulate the creation of employment opportunities and large-scale investment projects, as well as the conditions offered to its residents by the Technopolis Moscow special economic zone.

"Following Sergei Sobyanin's instructions, comprehensive work is underway in the capital to develop a modern industrial infrastructure. The main objective is to ensure conditions for the dynamic development of the manufacturing sector, the accelerated implementation of new technologies, and the further strengthening of the city's investment attractiveness. By 2030, the volume of such space will more than double—from 12 to 25 million square meters. This will create an additional impetus for economic growth and the emergence of new business opportunities," emphasized the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.

The construction of industrial complexes increases Moscow's industrial potential and contributes to the creation of new highly skilled jobs. According to the Moscow Government Minister and Head of the Department of Urban Development Policy Vladislav OvchinskyIn 2025, a four-story technology park for food production, covering over 10,000 square meters, was built with extra-budgetary funding on Ryabinovaya Street in the Ochakovo-Matveyevskoye district, next to the Ochakovo plant. The building includes specialized infrastructure for small and medium-sized businesses and food research laboratories. It houses production facilities with integrated administrative and amenity blocks, retail outlets, and a café.

Committee for State Construction Supervision of the City of Moscow commissioned the facilities after its specialists had supervised their construction at all stages.

Chairman of the department Anton Slobodchikov He emphasized that, in total, committee inspectors conducted over 200 on-site inspections at construction sites across the capital. Employees of the Center for Expertise, Research, and Testing in Construction also participated in these inspections. They conducted a range of laboratory and instrumental tests to assess the quality of work and materials in accordance with approved design specifications. This ensures the safety and reliability of buildings after completion.

Since 2011, more than 320 new production facilities have opened in the capital, with a total area of approximately three million square meters.

Earlier, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, announced that the capital's industry had regained its position as one of the leading industries city economy.

The Peresvetov Lane Gallery will host a screening of "Andriesh," Sergei Parajanov's first nearly full-length feature film, co-created with Yakov Bazelyan. The screening is part of the Maslenitsa program.

The film continues the theme of the director's thesis, "Moldavian Fairytale," based on the work of the same name by writer and poet Emilian Bukov. In his early short film, Parajanov combined props with real-life actors. Several years later, on the advice of Alexander Dovzhenko, he revisited the story of Andriesh, this time using live acting.

The 63-minute film marked the director's first step in developing the artistic language and aesthetics that would later define his signature style.
