Map with churches of Moscow The "Archive Search" service, which helps collect data on ancestors, has been updated. It allows you to quickly find parish registers for a specific parish and period. Previously, this could only be done manually. Yandex used neural networks to accurately link several thousand digitized documents to churches and periods. The project was implemented jointly with the Moscow Main Archives Department.

"The 'Archive Search' update opens up entirely new opportunities for Muscovites and all users to learn more about their families and delve deeper into the city's history. Thanks to handwriting recognition technology and the integration of archival documents with a map of Moscow, you can not only search for the names of your ancestors, but also see where exactly they lived. This significantly simplifies genealogical research and makes it more visual. Users can open a parish card with a single click and select registers for the desired period. These documents reflect the lives of Muscovites over the past 250 years," said Yaroslav Onopenko, head of the Main Archives Department of Moscow.

Until 1918, all important events in people's lives—births, deaths, marriages—were recorded in special registers. One copy of such a register was kept in the parish church. Today, researchers can access the "Archive Search" service, which contains over 13 million pages of registers from Moscow churches. These documents were systematized using artificial intelligence. Neural networks analyzed their contents, categorized them by register, and assigned each document to a specific church and time period. A special map shows both surviving and lost churches of old Moscow.

The project's website also provides historical information about the capital's most significant churches. For example, about the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in Sapozhok—the site of which is now occupied by Sapozhkovskaya Square, located between Mokhovaya and Manezhnaya Streets. It was here in 1801 that Count Nikolai Sheremetev secretly married his former serf actress Praskovia Zhemchugova, who appears in the birth certificate as "maiden Praskevia Ivanovna, daughter of Kovalevskaya."

"Archive Search" is a service from Yandex and Glavarkhiv that helps city residents quickly find information about their ancestors from the 17th to the 20th centuries. The portal also provides access to information about settlements and events from the same period. The service's database contains over 20 million pages of historical documents from the archives of Moscow, the Moscow region, Orenburg, Vologda, Irkutsk, Astrakhan, and other regions. Additionally, the service helps find information in the archives of diocesan newspapers, Sovetsky Sport, Vechernyaya Moskva, Senatskie Vedomosti, and other pre-revolutionary and Soviet newspapers.

Construction of modern pavilions for various purposes is nearing completion at the Luzhniki Olympic Complex, according to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Utilities, and Public Works. Petr Biryukov.

"We're carrying out the first phase of improvements at Luzhniki. The main goal is to transform the area into one of the capital's best parks, creating a modern public space that will not only accommodate international competitions and amateur sports, but also provide a place for family recreation. The work is being organized in several stages to avoid completely closing the area. This year, we're renovating the Central Square in front of the Grand Sports Arena and the Luzhniki-Central Pier," noted Pyotr Biryukov.

Construction of 13 pavilions is currently nearing completion in the complex's Central Square and two adjacent alleys.

Doctors at the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care performed a unique rib removal surgery in Russia, using tiny incisions. This surgery helped a 40-year-old man who had suffered pain for 10 years and was unable to use his left arm due to a genetic abnormality. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development. Anastasia Rakova.

"Moscow's priority is to make high-tech medicine as accessible as possible to every resident and to help patients with even the rarest diseases. Recently, Sklifosovsky saved a man who, due to a congenital condition, had lived with constant pain in his left arm for 10 years, gradually losing control of it. The unusual structure of his ribs affected key nerves and arteries. Our doctors masterfully performed a unique operation that was previously considered extremely complex and risky. Moscow surgeons were the first in the country to use a new minimally invasive technique and, using specialized equipment, performed the surgery thoracoscopically, meaning with the utmost care. Using special instruments, they entered the space between the inner surface of the chest and the lungs through small punctures, divided the rib into fragments, and gradually removed it. The risks to the patient were minimal. This method not only avoided serious complications but also significantly facilitated rehabilitation. The patient has now been discharged," said Anastasia Rakova.

The patient was diagnosed with a rare genetic rib anomaly at birth: his ribs had fused abnormally, compressing key veins, nerves, and arteries. This condition occurs in only one in 100,000 people, and in this case, doctors encountered an even more unique variation of the condition. The man's first rib was compressing the subclavian vein, which supplied blood to his left arm. He was unable to perform even the most basic daily tasks, such as lifting a grocery bag or taking out the trash. Any attempt to put weight on his left arm was accompanied by severe pain and varicose veins.

Without surgery, such patients are at risk of massive thrombosis, which often leads to stroke. Complications also include inflammation and suppuration of the limb, leading to complete loss of function.

The man consulted various specialists, but treatment was ineffective, and his condition worsened. The patient received treatment at the Sklifosovsky Research Institute. After a consultation in the thoracic surgery department, he was prescribed a specially designed procedure.

Removing the first rib requires the utmost skill, as it is located in close proximity to the subclavian vein and artery and is surrounded by numerous nerve endings. If the nerve is damaged during surgery, hand function can be completely impaired. Specialists spent four hours removing the rib, and the operation was successful, with no complications. Immediately afterward, the man felt relief; the pain in his arm subsided. Following follow-up examinations, he was discharged from the hospital.

From January to September, more than 140,000 bidding sessions took place on the Moscow supplier portal. Customer savings from lower starting prices during mini-auctions exceeded six billion rubles. Maria Bagreeva, Deputy Mayor of Moscow, Head of the Department of Economic Policy and City Development.

"Quotation sessions are an effective tool that helps government customers save budget funds. Over the first three quarters of 2025, 140,700 quotation sessions were successfully held on the supplier portal. Their total volume reached almost 48 billion rubles, 26 percent higher than the same period in 2024. Lower starting prices allowed state and municipal customers to save 6.1 billion rubles—11 percent more than the previous year. On average, seven entrepreneurs participate in one mini-auction, and the starting price is reduced by 14 percent. Construction, medical, household, and information technology goods were the most frequently purchased during quotation sessions. The total transaction volume in these categories amounted to 10.4 billion rubles—about a quarter of the total," said Maria Bagreeva.

Moscow-based bidders can purchase goods worth up to five million rubles, and works and services worth up to three million rubles, using quotation sessions. Mini-auctions last for three, six, or 24 hours. During these sessions, suppliers compete with each other, gradually lowering the starting price of the contract.

"The quotation session mechanism benefits not only customers but also suppliers, who gain the opportunity to find reliable partners and expand their sales market. The largest number of contracts concluded during the quotation sessions were with suppliers from Moscow, the Moscow Region, and St. Petersburg. They accounted for 80,700 transactions—57 percent of the total—and the value of these contracts amounted to 22.6 billion rubles," noted the head of the Moscow Department of Competition Policy.

The capital continues to implement driverless technologies in public transport. Three more trams will be equipped with them by the end of this year, and 11 more by 2026. As a result, by the end of 2026, 15 driverless trams will be operating in the capital. According to the transport development strategy approved by Sergei Sobyanin, two-thirds of Moscow's trams will be driverless by the end of 2030.

Russia's first driverless tram is based on the 71-911EM "Lvenok-Moscow" model. This innovative vehicle combines cutting-edge technology and intelligent solutions to perform driver functions. Its development is the result of work by the team at the Moscow Transport Advanced Development Center, which was opened by Sergei Sobyanin in Kuntsevo in May 2024.

Specialists have created a unique tram control system that takes into account all the numerous technical characteristics and Moscow weather conditions. It guarantees maximum reliability and ride comfort, as well as accurate schedule adherence. The equipment processes information from all vehicle systems and makes decisions based on a multitude of predefined control rules regarding travel on specific route sections, speed selection, and the creation of a smooth trajectory.

All road elements, including stops, pedestrian crossings, turnouts, roads, tram tracks, and more, are displayed on a high-precision route map consisting of two parts—a lidar map, which allows the tram's position to be determined in space, and a vector map.

Thanks to Vehicle-to-Everything technology—secure wireless communication with other road users and transport infrastructure—the vehicle can receive data on current traffic signals. A sensor system, including cameras, radars, and lidars, enables real-time analysis of the road situation and predicts the maneuvers of other road users.

Innovative solutions developed for the launch of the country's first driverless tram have already received a number of prestigious national and international awards, including the Digital Leaders Award 2025 and Priority: Digital 2025 (Artificial Intelligence).

The next stage in the development of driverless urban transport will be metro trains. In December 2025, Russia's first driverless train will begin test operations on the Big Circle Line (BCL). During the tests, a driver will be present in the cabin to monitor the system's operation and ensure safety.

By the end of 2026, a metro train capable of operating in driverless mode, taking into account Moscow's typical 90-second intervals during peak hours, will be ready.

Earlier, the Moscow Government approved the capital's draft budget for 2026–2028, the document was submitted to the Moscow City Duma.

The draft budget is based on the city's strategic plans for economic, infrastructure, and social development through 2030.

The main focus is on the implementation of 13 state programs. These include social support for residents, development of the transportation system, education, healthcare, the digital environment, and innovation. Specifically, the total expenditure on developing Moscow's transportation system in 2026 will be approximately 1.3 trillion rubles.
