At two project sites Winter in Moscow In the Western Administrative District, children and adults are taught how to make useful items for special military operations (SVO) fighters at workshops. Humanitarian aid collection points are also operating there.

At the Fili Children's Park on Bolshaya Filevskaya Street (Building 9), guests are taught how to make helmets, personal protective equipment for soldiers, and at Nikulino Park on Vernadsky Prospekt (Building 100a), young Muscovites write letters with wishes and fold them into frontline triangles.

Master classes for everyone

As reported by the deputy head of the Fili children's park, Alexey Melnikov, on December 26 at 3:00 p.m. master class The event will be led by community councilors from the Filevsky Park district. Since the beginning of the Second World War, they have been collaborating with one of the assault brigades, weaving helmets for soldiers and "Leshiy" capes for snipers, and sending humanitarian aid to the front.

Anyone can participate in the workshop. Simply arrive at the "Santa Claus Workshop" pavilion at the designated time. The district's community councilors will continue their workshops after the New Year. They will be held on January 16 and 30, starting at 2:00 PM.

The weave of the helmet covers is reminiscent of the technology used to make camouflage nets. High-strength strips of a special polymer material with a camouflage pattern are woven into the knitted base. The choice of color depends on the terrain where the soldiers are currently located and the time of year.

Where to apply skills

Anyone who learns how to make helmets at the workshops will have the opportunity to join volunteers who have been doing this work for a long time. Vitaly and Ksenia Ivanov, a married couple from the Dorogomilovo district, attended one of these workshops and now plan to put the knowledge they gained to good use. They said they were inspired by the feedback from soldiers returning from the front lines. Camouflage is crucial for soldiers today. Therefore, volunteers have a lot of work to do; they are always in need of help.

Volunteers are welcome, for example, at the "Golden Hands of an Angel" workshop in the Kuntsevo district. According to Amira Magomedova, head of the Kuntsevo branch of "Molodogvardeets," they are ready to offer everyone the opportunity to apply the skills they learned in the workshops.

"The demand for protective equipment is truly high right now—soldiers are constantly sending us requests. Helmets and hard hats reflect the sun, which can make soldiers vulnerable to enemy drones. Everyone on the front line needs helmet and hard hat camouflage," Amira Magomedova noted.

For those who weren't able to attend the workshops at Fili Children's Park, the volunteers of the "Golden Hands of an Angel" organization are organizing them themselves. You can contact them atTelegram channel or throughwebsite.

Muscovites who attend the helmet-weaving workshops have the opportunity to become permanent assistants to their mentors—public councilors of the Filevsky Park district. The volunteer workshop is located at 17 Bolshaya Filevskaya Street, Building 2. Anyone interested in helping the SVO soldiers is welcome here on weekdays from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM.

Weavers of protective equipment are also in demand at volunteer centers in the village of Rublevo. Workshops are open from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM daily at the administration building on Sovetskaya Street (building 11a) and at the Church of the Icon of the Mother of God "Never-Fading Flower" on Vasiliya Botyleva Street (building 45).

Field mail

Warm words of support, especially from children, are just as essential to those on the front lines as personal protective equipment. At Father Frost's workshops in Fili and Nikulino Parks, children can learn to make 3D cards and fold triangle letters. The activities are designed for the whole family.

At Fili Children's Park, the next classes will be held on January 10 at 11:00 AM and January 11 at 12:00 PM, as well as on January 17 at 1:00 PM and January 18 at 11:00 AM. At Nikulino Park, master classes will be held throughout January on Saturdays and Sundays, starting at 4:00 PM.

"We're currently sending New Year and Christmas greetings to the soldiers, and after the holidays, we'll be writing words of support on craft paper, whose texture creates the impression of authentic front-line letters from the Great Patriotic War. We're explaining to the children why they were triangular in shape," shared Olga Krasikova, deputy director of the Troparevo-Nikulino club center and master class leader.

Help and gifts for fighters

Humanitarian aid collection points for military personnel stationed in the SVO zone continue to operate in both parks. They are located in the "Santa Claus Workshop" pavilions next to the skating rinks.

The points are open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays: in the Fili children's park – from 10:00 to 20:00, in the Nikulino park – from 16:00 to 18:00.

Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev chaired a meeting on improving state migration policy at Sheremetyevo Pushkin International Airport. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin participated.

Before the meeting, Dmitry Medvedev and Sergei Sobyanin inspected the new immigration control point in the airport terminal. It features passport control booths equipped with biometric devices.

"Today, we looked at how the migration control system works, using Sheremetyevo as an example. We will discuss a number of issues related to improving this control. An experiment is underway at the Moscow Aviation Hub to test new entry rules and conditions. It involves collecting migrants' biometric data at the border. Overall, this appears quite convincing, as it only takes a few dozen seconds for a person to cross the border. All this is quickly processed, avoiding any bottlenecks, while simultaneously allowing for the creation of a comprehensive database that is used for both migration and law enforcement purposes," Dmitry Medvedev commented.

The Moscow government is actively involved in equipping 11 more state border crossing points with biometric equipment.

This will allow us to obtain an objective picture of the migration situation, identify and register all foreigners currently in Russia, and promptly identify those who have committed crimes in Russia or their home countries. In some cases, they will be prevented from entering the country. Dmitry Medvedev noted that all legal measures against foreign citizens who have no grounds for staying in Russia are being fully implemented.

"These projects must be scaled up to all similar checkpoints in the country. The head of state issued a special order in July of this year," stated the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council.
