Special Military Operation (SVO) veterans living in the Western Administrative District regularly send supplies to the front lines to help their fellow Muscovites—members of the Guards Motorized Rifle Regiments. The latest shipment, weighing over two tons, included autonomous diesel heaters, vehicle spare parts, radios, generators, chainsaws, motor oil, and sleeping bags.

How they help

According to Konstantin Ryzhak, chairman of the veterans' organization "Sovet SVOikh," Moscow systematically supports soldiers who have left for the SVO. Humanitarian aid is delivered directly to units, platoons, and companies within regiments.

Only veteran volunteers drive and accompany the vehicles. Some travel to the SVO zone every month.

"We once calculated the total mileage of our trips, and it turns out we've already circled the globe a couple of times. We don't chase volume or quantity of cargo; we send what the guys really need, because we know this firsthand. Soldiers are constantly changing positions. Today, they're advancing along the entire line of contact and constantly need equipment to set up new positions. They need chainsaws, generators, building materials, even ordinary shovels," said Konstantin Ryzhak.

Veteran volunteers of the "Council of Our Own" maintain constant contact not only with their comrades serving in combat. They also help wounded soldiers in hospitals located behind the lines, donating blood when needed. They also organize excursions to famous Moscow sites for the families and children of service members.

Veterans are also committed to perpetuating the memory of fallen heroes. They recently donated to the Moscow Defense Museum a fragment of a Tochka-U missile, which was heading toward the city of Tokmak and was shot down by our soldiers, as well as the helmet of a soldier with the call sign Skrip, who performed a heroic deed, pierced by shrapnel. Although wounded himself, he pulled a seriously wounded comrade from the battlefield.

Former SVO soldiers consider the connection between generations to be crucial. They personally restored a monument to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War in the Zaporizhzhia region.

"Council of Our Own"

The "SVO Council" was founded in April 2024. It currently has over 45 members, and that number is growing. SVO veterans from other Moscow districts are also joining the organization.

"After demobilization, my fellow soldiers and I, who had been drafted from various districts of the Western Administrative District—Ramenki, Troparevo-Nikulino, Prospekt Vernadskogo—learned that everyone was in touch with the guys who remained in the Northern Military District. We decided to join forces to help our fellow soldiers," said Konstantin Ryzhak.

Anyone can join the humanitarian aid drive organized by the "SVOIKH Council." The headquarters is located in the Vernadsky Prospekt area at 27 Udaltsova Street, in the Veterans' Council building.

Shipments are assembled based on requests from SVO participants, so those wishing to participate are asked to confirm information about items needed in advance by calling 7 499 431-26-74. The headquarters is open Monday through Thursday from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM.

Acacia rats have appeared in the "Night World" pavilion on the old grounds of the Moscow Zoo. These animals were previously seen at the zoo over 10 years ago, when they lived alongside elephant shrews.

"Acacia rats are social animals; they live in groups. The exhibit houses 15 individuals: a parent pair and their young. They form a close-knit family—they spend time together in nests they build in trees. The exhibit enclosure features hanging houses, artificial and natural tree trunks for climbing, and several feeding stations located throughout the enclosure. At the Moscow Zoo, the acacia rats' diet includes a variety of grains, as well as fruits such as bananas, oranges, and kiwis," explained Svetlana Akulova, General Director of the Moscow Zoo.

Acacia rats are nocturnal animals. To allow zoo visitors to observe their behavior during opening hours, special lighting is installed in their enclosures to mimic moonlight. This does not disturb the animals and allows them to remain awake comfortably. After the zoo closes, the lighting gradually reverses, turning on soft, daytime-like lighting. This allows the rats to enter a "daytime" period of restful sleep. This approach allows the animals to maintain their natural rhythms, and allows visitors to observe them in their natural state of activity.

This species is native to sub-Saharan Africa. The rodents' bodies reach 10–18 centimeters in length, with a tail length of 12–20 centimeters. They weigh between 60 and 150 grams.

Currently, in addition to acacia rats, the "Night World" is home to more than 20 species. Among them are the chinchilla, the common flying squirrel, the little mouse, the cactus mouse, the long-eared hedgehog, and the brush-tailed kangaroo.

Digitalization is becoming an integral tool for ensuring transparent, high-quality, and reasonable tariff regulation. This was stated by Maria Bagreeva, Deputy Mayor of Moscow and Head of the Department of Economic Policy and City Development, at the 10th All-Russian Tariff Conference held in Sochi. The event was organized by the Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia.

"We are refining all our information systems and their visual representation in the 'Digital Twin of Moscow'—a 3D model of the capital that allows us to plan urban development across all areas. From a tariff regulation perspective, it contains complete and reliable information on utility supply systems, generation facilities, and networks, including data on their performance and depreciation levels. This allows us to efficiently plan investment programs and development activities, understand where problems exist, and address them accordingly," said Maria Bagreeva.

Tariff regulation is a matter of people's quality of life, business stability and profitability, trust in the government, and confidence in the future. An important area of digitalization is the digitization of regulated organizations' investment program activities. Maintaining digital passports of investment activities will allow for monitoring not only the plans but also the stages of implementation of such organizations' investment programs. The next step in this model will be to increase the share of the investment component in tariffs—that is, the portion of funds allocated for the construction of new supply networks, reconstruction, and modernization of existing ones—to 26 percent by 2030, the Deputy Mayor noted.

Tariff application submissions are also being digitized, significantly simplifying the entire process for both regulated organizations and the regulator. Six areas of tariff regulation have been digitized to date, with 85 percent of tariff applications now submitted digitally, and plans are underway to increase this share to 100 percent in the near future. In addition to tariff applications, related processes, such as grid connections, water loss standard calculations, and information disclosure by housing and utilities organizations, are also being digitized.

Moscow's new digital tools include a calculator that forecasts changes to residents' payments and the fulfillment of the index cap for individual tariffs. Next year, a single payment document index is planned for integration into the calculator. Based on real data, this will allow for monitoring the growth of residents' payments for housing and utilities and promptly adjusting tariff policy.

Moscow has consolidated all digital tariff regulation tools into the Tariff information and analytical system (IAS). The system is integrated with the databases of the Federal Tax Service of Russia and the Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia, Rosreestr, and the Treasury of Russia, as well as the Federal State Information System "Tariff" of the Federal Antimonopoly Service.

The capital is actively sharing its experience in digitally transforming tariff regulation with other regions. Thus, in addition to Moscow, Sevastopol, the Luhansk People's Republic, and the Rostov and Oryol regions are already connected to the IAS "Tariff" system. Additional participants are planned for the future.

"It's important for us to ensure timely development and high-quality maintenance of infrastructure, to ensure residents understand they're paying reasonable fees, and to ensure regulated organizations are able to cover not only their operating costs but also their investment costs. The digital tools we've developed will help us address these challenges further," concluded Maria Bagreeva.
