Under the housing renovation program approved on August 1, 2017, approximately one million Muscovites will move into new apartments. The renovation districts will create a new level of urban environment: balanced, open, comfortable, and attractive.

The renovation program includes 5,176 buildings—approximately 350,000 apartments with a total floor area of 16.4 million square meters. By the end of 2025, the renovation program will be more than 25 percent complete.

Sobyanin congratulated the 250,000th participant in the renovation program on their housewarming.

Since 2018, 7.9 million square meters of housing have been commissioned to implement the program's goals, allowing for the relocation of approximately 1,600 older buildings. By 2025, approximately 2.3 million square meters of housing will have been built—a record volume for the program's implementation.

The Moscow Housing Renovation Fund has become the leader in housing construction in Russia.

In addition, in 2025, advanced construction technologies were actively introduced to accelerate the commissioning and improve the quality of housing built under the renovation program.

“So, in Cheryomushki, for the first time, a residential building was built from

large modules "In just 6.5 months. This is an absolute record for the construction of similar buildings," added Sergei Sobyanin.

The production of blocks was mastered by the new robotic plant of the MonArch Group of Companies, located in the Vnukovo district (Novomoskovsky Administrative District).

In 12 districts of Moscow (Ramenki, Severny, Molzhaninovsky, Kommunarka, Stary Kryukov, Yuzhny and Severny Medvedkovo, Yasenevo, Lianozovo, Novo-Peredelkino, Yuzhny and Severny Butovo) the current renovation program has been fully completed.

Plans for 2026 include commissioning 2.5 million square meters of housing, which will allow for the relocation of approximately 60,000 more people.

In total, approximately 11 million square meters of real estate are at various stages of design and construction, which will allow for the highest possible rate of relocation of residents of buildings included in the renovation program in the coming years and the completion of the program by 2032. The program is being implemented according to the schedule approved in 2017. Commitments to residents are being fulfilled ahead of schedule.

When moving, city residents are assisted at information centers where representatives work Department of City Property, the Moscow Renovation Fund, the prefecture, the management company, the general contractor and other departments.

The International Congress of Public Administration has opened at the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA). From February 10 to 13, it will serve as a hub for developing best practices that will improve the quality of public administration. Sergei Sobyanin participated in the plenary session of the congress, "Public Administration in the 21st Century: Between Speed and Meaning."

The congress is dedicated to six key public administration topics: civil service, digitalization, regional experience, business support, a people-centered government, and strategic priority management. Participants will discuss systemic reforms and specific operational models that have already proven effective.

The Moscow Mayor shared his experience implementing reforms in Moscow. The development model that existed in the early 2000s had become ineffective and was holding back the city's development.

"The changes needed at that time were long overdue; no matter what anyone said, everyone understood they were overdue. How to do it, and at what speed, is another matter. We were so far behind at the time in transportation, healthcare, and public spaces that we didn't have the time to do what Europe had accomplished over the previous 40 years. We needed to do it in literally five to ten years, so, of course, the speed of change and the rigor of our decisions were simply dictated by objective necessity: either we would lag behind and become some third-rate city, or we would become a leader and set an example for other global cities," Sergei Sobyanin emphasized.

According to the Moscow Mayor, all changes being implemented are for Muscovites. And the understanding of these processes, experience, and character of the managers dictate the speed and quality of the transformations. The most important thing is the confidence that the city and its residents will ultimately benefit.

The speed of reform implementation is a result of the freedom and responsibility given to the city administration. If there's a focus on results, not process, a team is assembled that is also focused on those results.

"People expect their sewage system to work properly, their apartments to be warm and bright, their entryway to be clean, their courtyard to be landscaped, public transportation to run regularly, hospitals and clinics to treat them like humans rather than artificial intelligence, and so on and so forth. After all, basic needs and aspirations don't change over time. These are the same needs as ordinary citizens, city dwellers, and that's what they expect from the government," Sergei Sobyanin noted.

 

The city that surrounds a resident is an extension of their personal space and comfort. People's needs change, and we must strive to reach new levels, because any standstill is a degradation. The well-being of the country depends on the city's development.

According to the Moscow Mayor, officials must meet the needs of their residents and be a hero every day of their service. A high-level manager must understand the strategy and be committed to implementing it. They must be willing to work, unafraid of conflict, and a fighter. If such people enter public service, they must be helped to become true leaders.

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.
