"Train of Life": Humor as a Weapon Against Despair

Date: February 20

Age limit: 16

A story of survival among the inhabitants of a Jewish shtetl, told with bitter humor and passion.

What remains for a person who can be deprived of everything but imagination and will? In the summer of 1941, the residents of a shtetl, learning of the approaching Nazis, attempt the impossible: deport themselves by train to Palestine. "Train of Life" is a play about the strength of spirit that transforms despair into an act of freedom. It's a journey where the absurd becomes reality, and a saving irony helps one to endure.

Dates: March 8 and 9

Age limit: 18

Gotthold Ephraim Lessing's philosophical drama about the possibility of peace between religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) is set in the present day—in a tire recycling workshop. It's an unexpected and relevant conversation: this reimagining of the classic shows that questions of religious tolerance, lies, and true humanity have no expiration date. The play touches on past conflicts to ask uncomfortable questions about the present.

"The Last Ones": When a rift runs through a family

Date: February 26

Age limit: 16

A play about the discord that arises within a single family during the first Russian Revolution, and how greater history invades the home and tears apart the strongest bonds—family ties. Oleg Lipovetsky's production of Maxim Gorky's play tells the story of a father who has lost his power and position, and his adult children struggling to escape his influence, as well as the choices that make insiders into strangers.

"An Ordinary Human Story": A Panorama of One Life

Date: February 15

Age limit: 16

At the center of "An Ordinary Human Story" is a hero who, five minutes before the end of his long earthly journey, sees the past flash before his eyes. All the beautiful and bitter moments come alive in his memory—from birth to his last love.

Dates: February 15 and March 15

Age limit: 16

With bitter irony and courage, writer Efraim Sevela tells the story of a young Lithuanian Jew who finds himself in the Soviet Army. Private Monet, who neither knew how nor wanted to fight, was destined to become a standard-bearer and serve throughout the war. This is a look at the catastrophe through the eyes of someone who passionately desired simply to live. The production offers viewers important themes for reflection—about how to remain oneself in the most unbearable conditions, about the thirst for life, and its price.

The play is a blend of street theater and storytelling. The acting, without the fourth wall, provokes direct contact with the audience.

You can buy tickets for these performances on the service Mosbilet.

A visit to the Shalom Theater can hardly be called entertainment in the literal sense of the word. Going there means agreeing to a difficult but necessary conversation—with history, with others, and ultimately, with oneself.

The plays don't offer ready-made answers, but they make us feel and think. They remind us that even in the darkest chapters of history, there's room for humanity, laughter, love, and dialogue. And this, perhaps, is the main way to prevent the world from erasing you—to remain human, no matter the circumstances.

Using the service MosbiletYou can buy tickets to any event at city cultural institutions without markup or commission, for yourself or as a gift. The service's capabilities are constantly expanding. Users with a full or standard mos.ru account don't need to enter personal information when purchasing a ticket.

Moscow entrepreneurs and those planning to start their own businesses can take advantage of free educational support from the State Budgetary Institution "Small Business of Moscow" (MBM). By the end of 2025, the institution had provided over 145,000 educational services.

"Business today requires constant knowledge upgrading and skill development, and the city is building its business support system with this in mind. Moscow helps both those just considering starting their own business and existing entrepreneurs. Over the past three years, the number of educational services provided by MBM has increased 1.7-fold," she said.

"We used to 'put out fires' by mobilizing all our resources. Now, the tools I learned in the course help me act proactively. They reveal not only bottlenecks but also areas for improvement where problems haven't yet arised. We've learned to measure timelines and identify real losses, mastered the built-in quality methodology, and are implementing it in our work," said Svetlana Nikolaeva.

At the end of 2025, MBM launched two thematic distance learning courses. The first, "AI Assistant for Entrepreneurs," is a 14-day course designed to help businesspeople integrate modern technologies into their work processes. Participants learn to reduce routine tasks, increase productivity using artificial intelligence (AI), master the key tools of Sber's free GigaChat AI assistant, formulate effective queries, and apply AI in marketing, analytics, sales, and strategic planning.

Members of the "We Don't Abandon Our Own" movement, together with residents of the Molzhaninovsky District of the Northern Administrative District, have been supporting Special Military Operation (SMO) fighters for over three years. Around 10 times a month, they send protective equipment, hardware, and other humanitarian supplies to the front lines. The activists also organize ongoing production of equipment, provide support to hospitals, and conduct workshops for children and adults. Anyone can join their efforts.

Delivered to the address

Over the past year, the "We Don't Abandon Our Own" public movement has donated over 35 tons of humanitarian aid to the SVO fighters. All humanitarian aid packages are compiled in direct consultation with unit commanders. Volunteers regularly receive words of gratitude from the fighters.

"We started with hospitals and caring for the wounded. Today, we assist military units on the front lines at their request—in the Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk sectors, in Kherson, and elsewhere. In December, for example, we sent equipment: radios, repeaters, chargers, as well as New Year's gifts, letters, and children's drawings. We also donated humanitarian aid: trench candles, medications, food packages, thermal underwear, and socks," says movement coordinator Natalia Chuprynina.

Convenient and mobile

One of the activists' new activities is donating special two-wheeled carts to soldiers for transporting the wounded. Each cart is equipped with spare wheels.

"About two years ago, we began collaborating with a factory in the Tula region that manufactures two-wheeled carts on a charitable basis. We offered them to those we help. That's how we began receiving and donating carts to soldiers at the front," shared Alexandra Plotnikova, the movement's coordinator.

Daily work

At the movement's headquarters, they constantly weave camouflage nets—50–60 pieces per month—make camouflage helmets, assemble hygiene kits, prepare freeze-dried soups and porridges, and make trench candles and periscopes.

Activists also conduct training and workshops for children and adults. One of the classes was dedicated to preparing individual dry soups. And for children aged nine to 15, they are organizing separate workshops on crest weaving.

Currently, the headquarters on Sinyavinskaya Street is actively preparing for Defender of the Fatherland Day. Children are making handmade cards, drawings, and souvenirs for the service members.

The movement's participants also provide support to hospitals. They collect and deliver new sports uniforms and warm clothing, including pants, jackets, fleece sweatshirts, hats, gloves, and boots, to soldiers.

Help from the heart

Vyacheslav Martynov, chairman of the Molzhaninovsky District Council of Public Advisors, actively supports the fighters in the SVO zone. As early as 2022, he and his family began making trench candles, then weaving camouflage nets, collecting homemade food, and other humanitarian aid. His wife, Olga Kulakova, and her sister, Tatyana, help at the hospital, caring for the wounded and delivering personal items.

During his work, Vyacheslav Martynov, together with active residents of the Molzhaninovsky district, sent more than 70,000 candles and portable stoves made from them to the combat zone.

You can join the activists' work by contacting the district administration at 4th Novosyolki Street, Building 2.

"According to weather forecasters, freezing weather will persist in the capital region in the coming days, with nighttime temperatures dropping below minus 20 degrees Celsius. Therefore, the heating system is being maintained at a higher temperature to ensure residents' comfort in their apartments," noted Pyotr Biryukov.

The district heating system's operating modes are selected based on the outside air temperature. Change orders are issued in advance, based on a short-term weather forecast.

Heat supply is regulated by two main parameters: decreasing or increasing the coolant temperature and increasing or decreasing its volume.

The adjustment is carried out under the control of the dispatch services of PJSC MOEK in automatic mode, based on the readings of weather sensors and dispatching systems, including those located at heating stations.

An extended meeting of the Prosecutor's Office board, chaired by Moscow Prosecutor Maxim Zhuk, was held at the Moscow Prosecutor's Office. The meeting focused on the city prosecutor's office's performance in 2025 and its objectives for strengthening law and order in 2026.

The meeting was attended by Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Yuri Ponomarev, Head of the Department of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation Natalya Rostovtseva, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, Chairman of the Moscow City Duma Alexei Shaposhnikov, heads of departments of federal executive bodies, the Moscow Government, the judiciary, law enforcement agencies, members of the board of the capital's prosecutor's office, heads of departments and divisions of the city prosecutor's office, district, inter-district and specialized prosecutors.

Protection of citizens' rights

In his speech, Maxim Zhuk noted that in 2025, the work of the capital's prosecutor's office was structured in accordance with the priorities set by the President of Russia and the objectives set by the leadership of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation. The prosecutors' efforts were aimed at ensuring a unified legal framework, preserving budget funds, complying with the law in the implementation of national projects, developing small and medium-sized businesses, protecting citizens' labor, housing, and other rights, and combating crime.

Moscow prosecutors identified 109,300 violations in their oversight of federal law enforcement. 24,600 notices were issued to address them. As a result, 21,700 officials were disciplined. Based on prosecutors' orders, 9,700 individuals were held administratively liable, and over 3,100 warnings were issued. Additionally, 877 criminal cases were initiated.

Prosecutors' protests contributed to the updating and compliance of 9,400 legal acts. Furthermore, citizens' rights and the state's interests were actively protected: 10,200 lawsuits (petitions) were filed with the courts.

Prosecutors everywhere sought to ensure compliance with the law in the area of rights and social guarantees for special military operation (SMO) participants and their families. These measures enabled them to promptly resolve housing issues and situations related to inadequate provision of technical rehabilitation equipment, and prevent violations of the social, labor, and other legally guaranteed rights of military personnel and their families.

Prosecutors held 31 mobile in-person consultations with 177 SVO participants and their family members at the Moscow State Budgetary Institution "Unified Support Center" and military hospitals. These consultations were conducted jointly with military prosecutors to ensure a timely and effective response.

At the initiative of the Moscow City Prosecutor's Office, amendments to Moscow's legislation have been introduced to provide support and assistance to the family members of SVO participants who died in the line of duty or who died after being discharged from military service due to injuries sustained in the line of duty. Litigation efforts have also been intensified across various sectors, resulting in the restoration of labor, housing, pension, and other social rights for SVO participants (19 lawsuits).

"It's important to ensure effective oversight in this area. Participants in the SVO and their family members must know that when they contact the prosecutor, all their rights and interests guaranteed by law will be protected. No request should be ignored. A situation will only be released from oversight if violated rights are fully restored and the violation of the law is effectively eliminated," emphasized Maxim Zhuk.

Interaction between the Prosecutor's Office and the Moscow Government

In his speech Sergei Sobyanin He highly praised the cooperation between the Moscow Government and the Moscow Prosecutor's Office in providing comprehensive support to SVO participants and their families, whose vital problems are being resolved as quickly as possible.

The Mayor of Moscow cited the introduction of a risk-based approach to oversight activities in the business sector as another example of fruitful collaboration.

According to Sergei Sobyanin, the Moscow Prosecutor's Office played an active role in developing and coordinating risk indicators for all types of control. To date, 112 such signals have been approved, warning of potential problems or the likelihood of violations. Many of them have proven highly effective.

In conclusion, the Moscow Mayor thanked the prosecutor's office staff for their significant contribution to reducing crime, maintaining law and order, and protecting the legal rights of citizens in the capital. He expressed confidence that in 2026, the prosecutor's office team will successfully address all the important and complex tasks that contribute to Moscow's development as one of the safest cities in the world.

Respect for labor and social rights

Serious efforts were focused on enforcing citizens' labor rights. The number of identified violations of the law increased by 5.7 percent to 16,401, with every second of these, as before, related to non-payment of wages.

"The prosecutor's office's response measures have resulted in the repayment of 6.1 billion rubles in wage arrears to over 43,000 employees," Maxim Zhuk emphasized, addressing his subordinates. "Promptly prevent any violations of workers' rights, ensure continuous monitoring of the legality of wage payments, and take effective measures to identify and eliminate latent arrears."

Oversight measures were actively implemented to identify and prevent violations of the rights of the most vulnerable segments of the population. Moscow City Prosecutor's Office officers prevented instances of unlawful denials of pension benefits, failure to recalculate pension amounts, and failure to reinstate benefits following medical re-examination for disability. The rights of persons with disabilities to technical rehabilitation equipment and access to social, engineering, transportation infrastructure, and residential facilities were also restored.

Working with debtors

Efforts to eliminate and prevent debts owed by management companies and public institutions to utility providers continued, with 864 violations identified. 452 notices were filed to address these violations and compel officials and managers to reduce their outstanding utility payments. Based on these notices, over 250 individuals were held liable under various penalties.

Furthermore, Moscow prosecutors, in conjunction with the Moscow Government and authorized agencies and organizations, are systematically working to restore the rights of equity-equity housing construction participants and ensuring effective oversight of developers' fulfillment of their obligations to citizens.

Construction of the residential complexes "Terletsky Park," "Voskresenskoye," "Akadem Palace," and "Kvartal Triumfalny" has been completed, and permits for occupancy have been issued. The rights of 1,641 people have been restored.

Currently, the Unified Register of Problematic Objects (ERPO), formed in the Unified Information System of Housing Construction, does not include any problematic shared construction objects (in 2024, there were four).

Prosecutors provide oversight of potentially problematic construction projects, including those involving developers at high risk of being included in the Unified Register of Housing and Utilities (ERPO). To monitor the situation, in-person meetings are held regularly with developers and equity holders' initiative groups.

Eighty-nine inspector inspections were conducted with serious violations of the law. We overturned their results," said Maxim Zhuk.

The comprehensive work carried out in this area made it possible to protect the rights of almost 2,500 (2,424) entrepreneurs.

At the board meeting, the priority of prosecutorial oversight over the implementation of anti-corruption legislation was particularly emphasized.

Capital prosecutors supported the state prosecution in first instance courts in 27,227 cases against 30,855 individuals.

With the participation of prosecutors in courts of general jurisdiction, 23.1 thousand civil and administrative cases were considered in the first instance based on claims by prosecutors and those in which the prosecutor entered the process to provide an opinion (16.5 thousand).

More than 8,800 lawsuits totaling five billion rubles were filed in the interests of citizens, society, and the state, the majority of which protected labor rights—2,500 totaling 982 million rubles. 647 lawsuits for compensation for damages caused by crimes, totaling over 50 billion rubles, were accepted for proceedings.

The downward trend in the number of crimes committed in the capital continued, decreasing by 7.9 percent (120,216). In addition, the detection rate increased and the registration of certain types of crimes decreased. In particular, the number of thefts decreased (31,058—16.9 percent), including apartment thefts (150—28.2 percent), robberies (757—9.2 percent), fraud (43,608—15.1 percent), crimes involving information and telecommunications technologies (54,615—14 percent), mobile communications (9,526—53.3 percent), the Internet (40,524—8.6 percent), and others.

When reviewing and receiving citizen appeals, the Moscow prosecutor's office paid special attention to personal reception, as well as requests from pensioners, veterans, disabled persons, minors, single mothers, large families, mobilized citizens, participants in special military operations, and their family members.

In 2025, the Moscow prosecutor's office received more than 557.5 thousand appeals (7.8 percent), the number of violations of the law identified by prosecutors increased by 5.3 percent (98,397), and the number of prosecutorial response acts submitted increased by 8.3 percent (84,538).

The largest number of applications reviewed concerned issues of violation of labor laws; in addition, many complaints concerned violations of the law in the reception, registration, and consideration of reports of crimes.

Maxim Zhuk listened to reports from his subordinates on various topics, pointed out shortcomings in the organization of oversight, and gave specific instructions for their elimination.

"We must respond to every violation identified. Only the effective restoration of violated rights and the effective elimination of the violation can be considered the end result of our work. The increase in the number of appeals we receive demonstrates the demand for prosecutors' work. Behind every appeal is a person, a request for help. I ask you to remember this. We are obliged to justify the people's trust," Maxim Zhuk concluded the meeting.

The board's work consisted of constructive discussions of existing problematic issues. As a result, specific measures were developed to strengthen prosecutorial oversight and ensure compliance with the law and order in the capital, as reflected in the board's decision.
