Since the beginning of the year, five more turbo-ring intersections have been built in the capital.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Since the beginning of the year by projects Traffic Management Center (TsODD) equipped five turbo-ring intersections at the intersection of Tallinskaya Street and Kulakov Street, Presnensky Val Street with Khodynskaya Street and Bolshoi Tishinsky Lane, Trikotazhny Proezd and the exit to and from the Moscow Ring Road (MKAD), as well as at Akademika Kurchatova and Romain Rolland Squares.

"Following Sergei Sobyanin's instructions, we're improving road safety and creating comfortable traffic conditions. Thanks to the TsODD projects, five more turbo-roundabout intersections have been built since the beginning of the year. Drivers can now navigate these sections 10 percent faster. Turbo-roundabout markings are an effective method for organizing roundabouts, reducing the number of traffic accidents by an average of 10-15 percent," he explained.

Maxim Liksutov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.

"Turbo" markings on roundabouts improve traffic conditions: travel time is reduced, and travel safety and comfort are increased. A distinctive feature of these markings is that the lanes are designed to minimize lane changes. Drivers simply need to choose a direction and take the correct lane according to the sign before the intersection, and then follow the markings. On a regular roundabout, the markings guide traffic around the roundabout in two or three lanes, while on turbo roundabouts, the markings are guiding. Drivers can see in advance which lane they need to be in to make left, right, or straight turns at the roundabout. Drivers entering the turbo roundabout can also use the signs and take the correct lane in advance, reducing unnecessary lane changes, braking, and related minor accidents. This speeds up travel through the roundabout, hence the name "turbo roundabout."

Thanks to the TsODD projects, 18 "turbo rings" have already opened in the capital since 2019. They are primarily being installed at complex intersections with heavy traffic.

The application was submitted during the second Moscow International Film Week. Production is scheduled for 2026, with a premiere in 2027.

Rebate program

Summing up Results of the Moscow International Film WeekSergei Sobyanin announced that the first two applications for rebates—financial support from the Moscow Government for film co-productions with foreign film companies—were submitted. The capital became the first Russian region to implement the program.

This will allow filmmakers to reimburse up to 30 percent of filming costs, with a minimum of 15 million rubles, and will also expand the Moscow Film Cluster's capabilities as a global film platform. The maximum support amount is 50 million rubles. Applications are accepted through the film platform. Moschino.

"Last year, an intergovernmental agreement on joint film production was signed between Russia and Uzbekistan. Several projects have been launched under this agreement, including the filming of a feature film, "Battle for Moscow: Tashkent Division," in collaboration with KD Studios. We are confident that this project will also be successful and will bring filmmakers, audiences, and the peoples of the two countries closer together," noted Bakhodir Mukhamedov, director of the Uzbekfilm film concern.

"Battle for Moscow. Tashkent division"

The film is dedicated to the heroism of the Tashkent Division, which participated in the Battle of Moscow. Its anniversary is celebrated on September 30.

"International cooperation in cinema has always been an important focus for the Moscow film cluster. A few months after the launch of the rebate program, we are preparing to welcome partners from Uzbekistan to the capital. The film 'Battle for Moscow: Tashkent Division' will be one of the first produced under the program. In addition to providing financial support to filmmakers and developing the city's economy, we also strive to create historically significant projects in the capital.

A ship-shaped building, a mural, and swallows. We explore interesting house designs under the renovation program.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Volume, color, shape, number of floors, and layout. In the design of housesrenovation program— the largest residential renovation project in the capital's history — is being meticulously executed in every detail. Buildings are being modernized and functional, and their appearance is becoming a beautification of neighborhoods. Over the eight years of the program's implementation, approximately 6.4 million square meters of housing have been built in the city. Over 226,000 Muscovites have moved or are moving into the new buildings from more than 1,300 buildings. old fund.

Each building under the renovation program is built using a custom design. It takes into account the architectural landscape, meets all requirements for multi-story construction, and makes them modern and beautiful.

Moscow architect Dmitry Sukhov, the author of nearly 30 new building projects under the renovation program, spoke to a mos.ru correspondent about how ideas for the future appearance of buildings in the largest residential renovation project in the capital's history are being developed and implemented, and what unusual buildings are being erected for its participants today.

From prefab technologies to unique design

Houses under the renovation program are built using monolithic and panel structures, as well as prefab technologies, where some elements are prefabricated in factories and assembled on site. This allows for faster construction.

Before construction of a building begins, a whole team works on its design: architects, designers, engineers, landscape designers and other specialists.

"Each building under the renovation program is a comprehensive project that takes into account its exterior appearance, interior content, and even the surrounding area. The building must meet all modern requirements for multi-story construction in Moscow. For example, we designate the ground floors as non-residential: cafes, shops, and pickup points will be located there. The entrance to the building must be level with the ground, and the building itself must have a through passage to both the street and the courtyard. Apartments for residents with limited mobility are designed separately, with wider corridors and doorways, underground or above-ground parking, and vestibules. Taking these factors into account, we also consider the location of the building, the landscape, and the size of the site. This determines the height of the new building and its shape," explains Dmitry Sukhov.

The building's exterior is given special attention during the design stage. In addition to the shape and height of the buildings, experts meticulously consider their architectural design. Facades can feature unusual color combinations, ornamentation, reliefs, and even patterns. This makes each building distinctive and allows the new buildings to blend seamlessly into the surrounding environment.

"An architect's work is similar to that of a director: we develop a scenario for how the project should look and what it will reflect, what needs to be considered, how it will attract attention, and how it will surprise residents. It's important that the building be recognizable to both its residents and those of the district and the capital as a whole. This creates a special atmosphere and highlights the quality of urban development. A building's uniqueness can be its shape, volume, height, or individual architectural details," says Dmitry Sukhov.

Hexagons, sandstone and 3D effect

With its ornate ornamentation, expressive color, and three-dimensional shapes, a building with a unique appearance will soon grace the Tsaritsyno district. Construction is underway on Kavkazsky Boulevard (land plot No. 27). 21-story building with three-dimensional facades. Copper-coated aluminum panels are used for finishing.

"Each panel will be manufactured individually, and then all the elements will be assembled into an unusual geometric pattern resembling three-dimensional weaving. This 3D effect will add originality to the facade design and create a memorable look for the entire building. Decorative steel grilles with an intricate pattern will complete the composition," notes Dmitry Sukhov.

The new building will be constructed near the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve. The building is scheduled to open this year.

One more thing unusual buildingA two-building residential complex will open on Aviatsionnaya Street (land plot no. 61a) in the Shchukino district in 2026. The building will feature a simple rectangular shape with varying heights. Decorative inserts will be placed between the glazed loggias and windows, which will stretch across the facades like ribbons.

"The subtle hexagonal pattern on the graphite panels will contrast with the powerful sandstone-effect façade pillars, creating an architectural harmony. It's important to incorporate natural forms, colors, and textures into the design of buildings. They make urban development more visually appealing and evoke positive emotions," the mos.ru source emphasized.

In the east of the capital, six new buildings have been handed over for occupancy under the renovation program.From June to August of this year, construction began on 32 buildings in Moscow to implement the renovation program.Residents of 100 old buildings in the south of the capital are being relocated to modern apartments under a renovation program.

Steamboat house and waves on the facades

When designing houses under the renovation program, not only colors and textures but also shapes play an important role. The appearance of a building depends, among other things, on its location. If the construction site is small and located in a densely populated area, the house may be narrow and tall; if it borders an intersection, it may be a corner house. Sometimes, however, the shape becomes the most striking feature of a new building.

So, on Taininskaya Street (property 16, building 3) in the Losinoostrovsky district this year there will be house, resembling a spaceship. The building's outer corner will be rounded, and the sides of the façade will feature recesses. The ground floors of the new building will feature panoramic stained-glass windows, creating the impression that the building is literally floating in mid-air.

Another original project was developed for new buildings In Moscow's Presnensky District, a building resembling a steamship is being constructed on Podvoiskogo Street (land plot no. 12/15). Four sections of the building will be arranged to resemble a deck, while a fifth will extend upward.

"The project features a distinctive play of contrasts. These include the two volumes of different heights and the alternating colors and lines. The dark gray facades are adorned with horizontal and vertical light gray stripes. The predominance of lines in architecture is called linearity. This technique creates a graphic effect, emphasizing contours. Furthermore, the facades feature protruding details that form a wave. This also makes the building interesting. It begs to be studied and contemplated," notes Dmitry Sukhov.

Muscovites will soon have this opportunity. The new building is scheduled to open next year.

57 new buildings have been erected in northern Moscow to implement the renovation program.In August, nearly 4,800 city residents signed contracts for new apartments under the renovation program.Around seven thousand families have moved into new apartments in the South-Western Administrative Okrug since the start of the renovation program.

Shades of the North, murals and swallows

In the capital's housing projects under the renovation program, one can find not only whimsical shapes and original ornamentation, but also reflections of the districts' distinctive features and their history. For example, in the Yuzhnoportovy district, this year, buildingThe end façade of the building will be adorned with a large mural dedicated to Hero of the Soviet Union pilot Pyotr Romanov. The new building will be located on the street of the same name (building 10). The image will be mounted on a decorative relief panel made of glass fiber reinforced concrete.

Petra Romanova Street appeared in the capital 60 years ago. Initially, it was called Novoproektiruyemy Proezd, and later 8th Kozhukhovskaya Street. In 1965, the initiative to name the street after the hero of the Great Patriotic War was put forward by workers of the First State Bearing Plant (now the Moscow Bearing Plant), located nearby, where he worked as a mechanic. Pyotr Romanova took part in the defense of Moscow and Stalingrad, and fought in Smolensk, Bryansk, Poltava, and other cities.

In memory of another conqueror of the skies, the capital has a street named Pilot Babushkina. An original monument will also be erected here. house As part of the renovation program, the multi-story building (building 29, block 5) will be symbolically decorated with murals of clouds and swallows. They will be placed above the building's entrances on the second floor.

"Swallows can also be seen on the cartouche—a decorative shield—on the building's roof. The birds are depicted with outstretched wings, as if in flight. In addition to decorative accents, the design for the future building also seamlessly blends natural tones: blue, white, and gray," emphasizes Dmitry Sukhov.

Toponymy can also be seen in the project Houses, which will be built under the renovation program on Verkhoyanskaya Street (land plot No. 14). A new U-shaped building with bright accents on the facades is being constructed there. Since the building is being constructed in the Babushkinsky District, located in northeastern Moscow, it was decided to design it around a northern theme. The main part of the facade will be white, with gray accents on the top, and two sections will be painted in shades of light blue and blue, evoking the landscapes of Arctic cities and Siberia. The building is scheduled to open this year.

The renovation program was approved in August 2017. It covers 5,176 buildings—more than 350,000 apartments with a total floor area of 16.4 million square meters. Nearly a million Muscovites live in these buildings.

Moscow Museum Week. Exhibition "Unrealized Projects of the 20th Century. From Sretenka to Prospekt Mira"

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

As part of the Moscow Museum Week event, visitors can view the exhibition "Unrealized Projects of the 20th Century: From Sretenka to Prospekt Mira" free of charge at the Garden Ring Museum.

The exhibition explores architectural plans for the district's transformation that were never realized or underwent significant changes during the design and construction process. Historically, Sretenka was a shopping street: small shops stood side by side with low-class taverns and bars, and a huge market operated near the Sukharev Tower, where thieves from all over Moscow sold stolen goods. The infamous reputation of these areas began to change in the 1910s, when large retail and apartment buildings appeared on Sretenka. With the advent of Soviet power, which actively undertook urban reconstruction, the district acquired a new appearance. Trees on the Garden Ring were cut down, the Sukharev Tower was demolished, 1st Meshchanskaya Street was widened and lined with monumental buildings, and in 1957 it became part of Moscow's new thoroughfare, Prospekt Mira. The buildings on display here today are both a showcase of Soviet architecture and a vibrant collection of postmodernist designs from the 1990s.

The exhibition focuses on projects conceived by architects for Sretenka and Prospekt Mira, which underwent significant changes along the way or were never built at all: for example, the GIPROMEZ building, residential buildings for the USSR Ministry of Agriculture, and the exhibition hall of the Union of Artists of the RSFSR. In some cases, construction was interrupted by the outbreak of war, while in others, plans were revised due to lack of funds or dramatic shifts in urban planning and architectural policy. The exhibition features sketches, drawings, and photographs of models, introducing the viewer to the original designs of the Vesnin brothers, Ivan Fomin, Kirill Afanasyev, Grigory Barkhin, Iosif Loveiko, and many other prominent 20th-century architects. Supplemented with contemporary photographs, they allow the viewer to compare these plans with the area's current topography and imagine what it might have been like had these plans been realized.

What kind of assistance will be needed at the final forum?

Volunteers are the first people guests see upon arriving at an event. They provide a warm welcome and register participants. It's important for volunteers to quickly navigate the vast amount of information and be friendly when interacting with delegations from various regions of Russia and abroad.

Volunteers will also greet and orient forum guests at the National Center "Russia." It's important for these assistants to be familiar with the site's infrastructure, including the locations of the event halls, cloakrooms, refreshment rooms, break rooms, and meeting areas. Volunteers must be outgoing and able to navigate the space, ensuring they can quickly and accurately explain directions to their chosen activity.

Escorting forum speakers is one of the most exciting roles volunteers play at the event. At the final forum, they will have the opportunity to meet renowned figures, veterans, experts, historians, and volunteer community leaders. Volunteers will greet speakers and invited guests at the entrance, accompany them to the presentation hall, escort them to the lounge area if a speaker is scheduled to speak in multiple sessions, and also assist with organizational matters.

Their assistance will include decorating rooms, seating participants, preparing and distributing handouts, and distributing microphones. Volunteers will register business meeting guests and coordinate the flow of participants. They will also assist with the organization of thematic exhibition areas.

How young people preserve history

Maxim Rybalchenko began his volunteer career at major federal forums, where he first discovered the power of volunteerism. His true calling was helping with the International Volunteer Corps for the 80th Anniversary of Victory. He was inspired by the opportunity to be part of important historical events and, through his own example, to show his peers how to preserve and pass on historical memory. He participated in a wide range of patriotic events—from meetings with veterans and memorial and patronage events to memorable city events (such as the Memory Line, the St. George Ribbon, and others). The most memorable and meaningful event for him was the Victory Day Parade on Red Square.

"The International Volunteer Corps has inspired even those who hadn't previously considered volunteering. Today, many of them regularly attend meetings with veterans, offering them attention and care. Participation in the November forum is important for every volunteer. As the winner of the 'Victory Ambassadors. Moscow' competition, I want to join like-minded people to review the year and share experiences with colleagues from the regions," said Maxim Rybalchenko.

How the older generation passes on the baton of memory

Silver Volunteer Lyudmila Panova became a volunteer in 2019. Her sincere desire to do good deeds developed into a systematic approach. She has tried her hand at a wide variety of volunteer activities, but patriotic events have always held a special place in her heart. As part of the 80th Anniversary of Victory Day volunteer corps, she participated in many events (such as the St. George's Ribbon, Victory Train, and Streets of Heroes, as well as patronage events). Her most powerful experience was meeting former concentration camp prisoners. Lyudmila shared that her skills for helping veterans were ingrained in her during her youth, during the Timurov movement.

She wanted to tell young people about the events of the war years and share her knowledge. Lyudmila noted that her grandfather and father fought in the Great Patriotic War, and her mother was a veteran of the labor front. She said that grandchildren and great-grandchildren should know history, which is why the work of the International Volunteer Corps of the 80th Anniversary of Victory is so important. "Volunteers inspire others through their actions and pass the baton of memory to the younger generation," Lyudmila added.
