The capital is working around the clock to clear up the aftermath of heavy snowfall, according to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Utilities, and Public Works. Petr Biryukov.

"Utility services continuously monitor the condition of the street and road network. In accordance with regulations, as precipitation falls, we conduct continuous mechanized sweeping of roadways, sidewalks, and courtyards, along with de-icing treatment. We repeat this cycle constantly, clearing the city of snow around the clock. Particular attention is paid to the prompt clearing of key thoroughfares to ensure the passage of ambulances, emergency services, and public transportation, as well as pedestrian areas, sidewalks, approaches to bus stops, and social facilities," noted Pyotr Biryukov.

Forecasters predict heavy snowfall will continue through January 29. The heaviest snowfalls will occur on January 27 and 28, with lighter precipitation continuing through the end of the week. Snow drifts and icy conditions are possible.

All city services are operating in an enhanced mode. A 24-hour duty station for the heads of enterprises and organizations in the capital has been established. urban economy complex, emergency dispatch services, emergency crews from engineering companies, and administrative district prefectures. More than 50 permanent snow melting stations are also operating 24 hours a day. Employees and specialized equipment from city engineering, utility, and construction companies are also involved in the cleanup.

Once the snowfall subsides, utility services will begin clearing snow and ice from pitched roofs of apartment buildings, protruding building facades, gutters, and downspouts. The work areas will be cordoned off with tape and special barriers to prevent pedestrian access.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin and Oleg Baranov, Head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for the City of Moscow, opened the new building of the Shcherbinka District Police Department, where they met with Moscow police officers.

"This is a modern, bright, and well-appointed building, perfectly suited for work. It has everything needed for both police officers and the public who will seek assistance there. So, congratulations, friends, on your new home!" said the Moscow Mayor.

Sergei Sobyanin presented Mikhail Romanitsa, Head of the Internal Affairs Directorate for the Troitsky and Novomoskovsky Administrative Districts of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the City of Moscow, with a certificate of transfer of the right to free use of a non-residential building with an area of 7,600 square meters, located at 2 Zakharyinskie Dvoriki Street, to the Internal Affairs Directorate for the New Moscow Administrative Districts.

"On behalf of our personnel, I can assure you that we will ensure the safety of Muscovites," Mikhail Romanitsa emphasized.

Sergei Sobyanin noted that the city continues to improve the material resources of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the city of Moscow.

"A lot has been accomplished. Most of the buildings are already in good condition, but there's still a lot of work to be done. In 2025, we built four new buildings, and in 2026, two more. We're continuing the reconstruction," the Moscow Mayor said.

Compared to 2010, the overall number of offenses in Moscow has decreased by 35 percent, and the number of the most dangerous crimes against the life, health, and property of Muscovites has decreased several times.

"The Moscow government provides systematic support to the Moscow police. Since 2011, over 250 police facilities have been built and reconstructed in Moscow. Units are located in

comfortable, well-equipped buildings, which certainly improves the quality of performance of official duties,” the Mayor of Moscow wrote on his channel in MAX messenger.

The new building of the Shcherbinka district police department

Before moving to a new building, the Department of Internal Affairs (OVD) for the Shcherbinka District of Moscow occupied a two-story building at 6 Zheleznodorozhnaya Street. The total floor area of the premises was only 813.5 square meters. This was insufficient for the full-fledged and effective operation of the department, which employed over 180 people and served the rapidly developing Novomoskovsky Administrative Okrug with a population of over 135,000.

 

The new 7,600-square-meter district department building was constructed according to a custom design at 2 Zakharyinskie Dvoriki Street, approximately a 20-minute walk from the Shcherbinka train station on the Moscow Central Diameter 2 (MCD-2). Construction lasted from June 2022 to August 2025. The work was financed by the Moscow city budget under the "Safe City" program.

"The building on Zakharyinskiye Dvoriki Street is nine times larger than the department's previous building. It is now a 20-minute walk from the Shcherbinka MCD-2 train station. It offers comfortable conditions for police officers to work, study, train, and rest. The building is equipped with modern utility systems, furniture, office equipment, and all necessary facilities. The surrounding area has also been landscaped," Sergei Sobyanin noted on his MAX messenger channel.

The building's ventilated façade is made of porcelain tile. The basement is also clad in porcelain tile. The surrounding area is landscaped.

The four-story administrative building (including a technical floor and basement) provides comfortable conditions for police officers to work, study, train, and rest. The department is equipped with modern utility systems, furniture, office equipment, and all necessary facilities.

Combat and training facilities have been set up for the staff. These include a rifle and laser (multimedia) range, as well as offices for the duty station, the investigative department, the criminal investigation and inquiry departments, the security and suspect escort teams, and the logistics department. The building also houses a wrestling hall and a gym with locker rooms and showers.

A conference room with a modern multimedia system is equipped for holding operational meetings and other work events.

For the accommodation of service vehicles, there is a built-in garage for eight cars and an above-ground parking lot for 19 cars.

The move to the new building on Zakharyinskie Dvoriki Street will be completed in the near future.

Security, openness, and comfort: a new standard for the Metropolitan Police's buildings

The city provides systematic assistance to the Moscow police in modernizing its material and technical resources. The newly constructed and renovated buildings of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the City of Moscow provide comfortable conditions for service. They are equipped with modern duty stations, offices, laboratories, break rooms, gyms, shooting ranges, cafeterias, and refreshment areas, and the surrounding area has been landscaped.

The safety of employees and visitors is ensured by modern electronic security, surveillance and access control systems.

Since 2010, 30 new Metropolitan Police facilities have been commissioned in the capital. These include the building complexes of the Internal Affairs Directorates for the Western, Southern, and Eastern Administrative Districts, the police departments for the Akademichesky, Beskudnikovsky, Golyanovo, Danilovsky, Kotlovka, Molzhaninovsky, Ochakovo-Matveyevskoye, Rostokino, Severny, Tverskoy, Khovrino, Khoroshevo-Mnevniki, Shcherbinka, Yuzhnoportovy, and Yakimanka districts, as well as the Moskovsky police station, the Kommunarsky Inter-Municipal Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, the Canine Service Center, and a complex of administrative buildings on Ryabinovaya Street.

In 2026, construction of the facility in the Losinoostrovsky district (six thousand square meters) will be completed, and in 2027 – in the Prospekt Vernadskogo district (6.4 thousand square meters).

Plans for 2027–2030 include the construction of 20 facilities. Modern administrative buildings will be built in the districts of Tverskoy, Bekasovo, Obruchevsky, Zyuzino, Prospekt Vernadskogo, Chertanovo Tsentralnoye, Chertanovo Yuzhnoye, Tsaritsyno, Filevsky Park, Kryukovo, Vykhino, Troparevo-Nikulino, Shchukino, Filimonkovsky, Voronovo, Vnukovo, Krasnopakhorsky, and Troitsk.

At the same time, comprehensive reconstruction and improvement work is underway at the facilities of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the city of Moscow. Since 2011, work has been completed on 222 facilities. These include:

— 80 buildings of district departments of internal affairs;

– six residential buildings – family dormitories for police officers;

— 91 sports and hockey fields for training and recreation of personnel;

— 45 other departmental objects.

This year, major repairs are planned for five facilities, including the Krylatskoye District Department of Internal Affairs and the administrative buildings of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the city of Moscow.

Moscow is one of the world's leaders in the development of innovative transport. The capital is the first in the world to have a fully driverless tram began to transport passengers regularly, and a system was created to monitor the city's main waterway unmanned boat, and the other day it started in the subway testing A unique, domestically produced driverless train. This technological marvel can be seen on the Big Circle Line (BKL). However, you can't ride it yet: the train is still undergoing testing.

"We expect that by the end of 2026, the first driverless metro train will begin running on schedule alongside other trains, maintaining the required 90-second intervals during peak hours. However, for now, this will still be without passengers. Passenger trips will begin in 2027. And by 2030, at the direction of Sergei Sobyanin, we plan to launch the first driverless metro line," said Maxim Liksutov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.

Mos.ru reports on the design of the innovative train and the systems that ensure its operation and passenger safety.

Computing modules and machine vision

The polished "Moscow-2024" with its black mask and red trim is preparing to depart the Zamoskvoretskoye depot. It differs from regular trains by its color and the inscription "This is a driverless train" on its side. Before its release the latest invention Once on the line, the driver and specialists from the Moscow Metro's Unmanned Transport Research and Development Center complete a checklist, checking the operation of the doors and all systems. Finally, the signal is given, the gates open, and the train moves along the tracks.

"This project is the result of the efforts of tens of thousands of Moscow Metro employees. Ninety-seven percent of the train is made from Russian components. Its development began in early 2025 and is based on the high-tech "Moscow-2024" model, which is ideal for the implementation of driverless systems. The train is equipped with sensors to detect obstacles and anomalies in the tunnel, powerful computing modules, and a communication system with the control center. The innovative software was developed and is supported by Moscow specialists," explains Pavel Boksha, Head of the Moscow Metro's Driverless Transport Research and Development Center.

The driverless train's interior is familiar to passengers on the Moscow-2024 train: comfortable seats, curved handrails, widened walkways and doors, charging ports, interactive maps, and media screens. During testing, the driver's cabin was equipped with an interface displaying the train's schedule and an additional screen displaying data from machine vision sensors.

"The software enables automatic train scheduling, and will eventually enable scheduling for entire lines. The automated control system ensures acceleration, braking, maintaining the permitted speed, precise stopping, and opening and closing doors. Machine vision scans the area in front of the train and detects anomalies along its route, and the system interacts with the control center and transmits data from the train in real time," continues Pavel Boksha.

Since its launch, the driverless tram has carried more than 60,000 passengers.Neurovoice, fogger, and digital navigation: what digital services will appear in the Moscow metro in 2025?

Prepared for any situation

The driverless train is being tested on the Big Circle Line. The train starts smoothly and stops at each station, observing the established intervals. For safety reasons, a driver is present in the cab during the test, monitoring the movement.

"This is a breakthrough technology that marks a new era in transportation development, and I feel proud to be part of its beginning. And the fact that driverless systems will be ubiquitous in the future only makes me happy: the world is constantly evolving, and with technological advancements, many new professions are emerging, and in our metro, there's always work for those who want to work," shares Anton Malakhov, a Moscow Metro driver with 20 years of experience.

Before the train went live, the developers conducted extensive research and testing, collecting and inputting a huge amount of data to prepare the artificial intelligence for any possible scenario.

"Our specialists already had experience developing software for driverless vehicles. While working on this train, we drove a locomotive at night equipped with a lidar—a special device that determines the distance between objects using a laser. This allowed us to select the most effective equipment for the driverless train. During the testing process, we collect new data to fine-tune the systems and train the artificial intelligence so that it can accurately recognize all objects and respond appropriately in any situation," explains Konstantin Preys, Head of Testing at the Moscow Metro's Driverless Transport Research and Development Center.

Sobyanin outlined plans to upgrade public transport rolling stock.Sobyanin: The Center for Advanced Development has accelerated the modernization of the transport system.

Fast, comfortable and safe

The primary goal of the driverless train's developers is passenger comfort and safety. Hardware protection ensures the smooth operation of car doors and prevents them from becoming trapped, track signaling prevents the train from colliding with other trains, and an automatic trackside collision detection system detects foreign objects on the rails and promptly takes action.

This technology is currently being tested at the Pechatniki station on the Big Circle Line. A video camera, lidar, and a special sensor system are installed above the tracks. They recognize the surrounding area, detect any objects that hit the rails, and instantly transmit the information via a secure channel to the train's systems and the control center. According to Konstantin Preis, upon receiving such a signal, the train will stop in advance of the obstacle, and the appropriate metro services will quickly arrive at the scene.

"Our goal is to maintain a high level of quality for passengers and, where possible, improve it, enhance the technological effectiveness of management processes and safety monitoring," concludes Pavel Boksha.
