Social business products will be identified by special markings

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The "Social Enterprise. More Than a Business" label will appear on products from Moscow-based brands operating in this segment. To receive the distinctive mark, you must submit an application to websitefounder – the Social Projects Support Fund. It was created by the Agency for Strategic Initiatives and the Moscow Government. This was reported Natalia Sergunina, Deputy Mayor of Moscow.

"The emblem will highlight the brand's commitment to socially significant initiatives. This format was first tested in the Made in Moscow online showroom. More than 30 Moscow entrepreneurs have already received the special emblem," said Natalya Sergunina.

The marking can be used in two ways: electronically on websites and as a sticker in the company's office or stores.

As part of the pilot this spring in the online showroom Made in Moscow We created a "Social Enterprise" filter and added a logo to product cards. The project is now being scaled up to cover all relevant organizations in the capital and other regions.

Representatives of the business community included in the register of social entrepreneurs of Russia have the right to use the mark. Those who have not yet received this status are invited to evaluate the social performance of their business using self-diagnostic service "Polzamer".

"The 'Social Enterprise. More Than a Business' mark is more than just a label. We're creating a full-fledged brand that lives in a variety of formats. In addition to registering with Rospatent, we host an annual forum, establish special nominations in industry competitions, actively present the mark at public events, and conduct ongoing educational work on social media and in the media. Our goal is for everyone to recognize this emblem and understand that it represents a story of real social impact," emphasized Natalia Kremneva, Director of the Foundation for the Support of Social Projects.

The importance of labeling is confirmed by entrepreneurs themselves. For example, Ekaterina Teybash, owner of an inclusive museum, believes that such an indicator will positively impact audience growth.

Elena Martynova, co-founder of the career project, shares this opinion. She says that in 70 percent of cases, as a consumer, she pays attention to special designations, such as quality marks and high ratings, which help her make a decision. Elena is convinced that any promotion is extremely important for a social entrepreneur. Creating a unified brand for businesses in this field will at least attract more attention to their work and, in the long run, will improve the sustainability of such enterprises.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Moscow Government – Moscow Government –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Online broadcast projects from the Moscow Zoo and Active Citizen have released their second joint project quiz A program about animals you can watch live on mos.ru. It's dedicated to Pallas's cats—the world's most secretive cats and legendary residents of the Moscow Zoo.

The quiz consists of eight questions in which you must choose the correct answer from five options. It is available to everyone on the page with online broadcasts from the outdoor enclosure of the Pallas's cat at the Moscow Zoo, as well as website and in mobile application The Active Citizen project. Thanks to the quiz, anyone can test their knowledge of the daily show's furry hero and perhaps learn something new about wild cats—for example, about their natural behavior or the origin of their name.

The Pallas's cat, or manul, is a special animal for the zoo, which is under the jurisdiction of the capital Department of CultureOne reason is that the Moscow Zoo pioneered the regular breeding of Pallas's cats in captivity. Since 1975, the institution has bred over 140 Pallas's cats. Many of them have been relocated to zoos around the world.

In addition to the male Pallas's cat living in the city, the Moscow Zoo cares for several more individuals at the Rare Species Reproduction Center in the Volokolamsk District.

In the lead-up to winter, before the snowpack sets in, observing the Pallas's cat is especially fascinating. It becomes fluffier than usual, actively wanders around the enclosure in search of prey, gains weight, almost doubling, and seems to strive to achieve its ideal shape—a ball. Participants in the quiz will answer questions about this important period for the Pallas's cat, as well as test their knowledge of certain Pallas's cat traits.

Watching online broadcasts will help you choose the correct answers. It's also helpful to read facts about the animal on the same page, on the official website, and on the Moscow Zoo's social media pages.

To get city loyalty program points "A Million Prizes" Registered users of the Active Citizen project must log in to the mos.ru portal in advance to take the quiz. Five points will be awarded for each correct answer. You can also confirm the phone number provided in your profile during the quiz. Those who haven't yet joined Active Citizen must first register on the project's website to receive points.

With city points, Million Prizes program participants can receive goods and services from partner organizations. Accumulated points provide access to promo codes for store discounts, museum and park tickets, and useful souvenirs. Points can be donated to charity, or used to top up a Troika card or a parking account in the Parking Russia app. Program participants can find more ways to use their accumulated points in categories on the Million Prizes website.

Project online broadcasts from the Moscow Zoo is being implemented jointly with the capital's Department of Information TechnologyEvery day, viewers from across the country observe several species of cats and bears, honey badgers and other predators, as well as herbivores, primates, and birds on its pages. Thanks to the project, everyone can admire rare animal species at any time as they walk, rest, play, and feed, and also learn interesting facts about the zoo's inhabitants.

Project Active Citizen has been running since 2014. Since then, more than seven million people have joined, and over seven thousand votes have been conducted. Every month, 30 to 40 Muscovites' decisions are implemented in the city. The project is being developed by the State Public Institution "New Management Technologies" and the Moscow Department of Information Technology.

The creation, development, and operation of e-government infrastructure, including the provision of mass socially significant and other services, as well as services in electronic form, are consistent with the objectives of the national project "Data Economy and Digital Transformation of the State" and the Moscow regional project "Digital Public Administration."

Day of Military Glory: The 1941 military parade on Red Square

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Can holding a military review in the capital of a country at war change history? Our answer: yes. On November 7, 1941, the traditional military parade in honor of the anniversary of the October Revolution took place on Moscow's Red Square. The parade took place during the Battle of Moscow, when the front line was just a few dozen kilometers from the capital. We showed the world: the Red Army and the Soviet Union were determined to defend their homeland under any circumstances.

The situation the day before

In October 1941, the military situation near Moscow was dire. On October 15, the USSR State Defense Committee issued a decree "On the evacuation of the capital of the USSR, Moscow." In the event of an enemy entry into the city, the NKVD was ordered to blow up the remaining factories, warehouses, and institutions, as well as the electrical equipment of the metro. That same day, the USSR government, the Supreme Soviet, the People's Commissariat of Defense, diplomatic missions, and cultural institutions began to be evacuated to Kuibyshev (now Samara).

On October 20, a state of siege was declared in Moscow and the surrounding areas. Panicked rumors spread throughout the city that the country's top leadership—Joseph Stalin and members of the Politburo—had fled the capital.

To stem the panic and boost public morale, on October 24, Joseph Stalin summoned Lieutenant General Pavel Artemyev, commander of the Moscow Military District, and Lieutenant General Pavel Zhigarev, commander of the Red Army Air Forces, and ordered preparations for the parade to be held in complete secrecy. Most of the soldiers and commanders were unaware until the very last minute that they would be marching across the cobblestones of Red Square. At the last minute, the start time of the military review was also moved up from the usual 10:00 a.m. to two hours earlier.

March of the Defenders

On the cloudy and snowy day of November 7, 1941, low clouds covered Moscow. Aircraft overflights were cancelled due to the blizzard, but the Kremlin stars and the mausoleum were unmasked, as enemy aircraft would have been unable to attack the capital in such weather. By eight o'clock in the morning, the Moscow Garrison troops stood in parade formation on Red Square. Lieutenant General Pavel Artemyev, commander of the Moscow Military District, commanded, and the legendary Marshal Semyon Budyonny reviewed the parade.

The entire top leadership of the USSR gathered at the mausoleum's podium. After the traditional parade of parade units and the report to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, Joseph Stalin addressed the troops and the nation with a speech in which he emphasized: "The main goals of the German Operation Typhoon were not achieved; the Nazis failed to take the capital with a rapid offensive."

A total of 28,467 people participated in the parade. When the parade concluded, the military units withdrew to their bases, almost immediately heading to the front.

Our troops in the battle for Moscow

Fierce and stubborn fighting raged in the western part of Moscow as part of the defensive phase of the Battle of Moscow. Along with everyone else, the capital was defended by staff and students of the Moscow Engineering and Economics Institute (now the State University of Management).

Two platoons were formed from MIEI volunteers, which swelled the ranks of the 3rd Moscow Communist Division. The division's regiments were stationed along the Leningrad Highway from Khimki to Solnechnogorsk. Many MIEI volunteers also fought on the Rzhev-Vyazma line as part of the 7th People's Militia Division, which suffered heavy losses in these battles.

A harbinger of victory

The parade boosted the morale of the military and the population. For many contemporaries, celebrating the anniversary of October in wartime conditions came as a surprise, while frontline soldiers and home front workers considered it a sign that Moscow would endure. It's especially worth noting that the German command planned to capture the capital by November 7 and, on that day, hold its own celebration on Red Square—a parade of Nazi troops. Therefore, the Soviet army's military parade was particularly significant, emphasizing that the Nazi invaders would not succeed. Less than a month passed, and our soldiers turned the tide of the Battle of Moscow by launching a counteroffensive. Footage of the parade was later included in the documentary "The Defeat of the Nazi Troops near Moscow," which won an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

For 20 years now, November 7th has been celebrated in Russia as Military Glory Day, in honor of the 1941 military parade on Red Square.

The Commonwealth's Intellectual Code: Polytechnic University Drives Science and Technology Discussion

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Tauride Palace hosted the first international scientific and educational congress, "The Intellectual Code of the Commonwealth." Education 4.0: Integration of Science, Technology, and Creativity, bringing together specialists from across the globe to discuss key issues in modern education. The plenary session brought together leading experts—scientists, educators, and practitioners from across the Commonwealth of Independent States. The congress provided a unique opportunity for constructive dialogue, the exchange of best practices, and the development of consolidated solutions.

Valentina Matviyenko, Chairperson of the Council of the CIS Interparliamentary Assembly and Chairperson of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, sent a greeting to the congress participants.

"Together, we are creating a system of knowledge and skills that meets the demands of the times, where creativity coexists with technology, and traditional values coexist with innovation," said Lilia Gumerova, Chair of the Federation Council Committee on Science, Education, and Culture and Chair of the Standing Commission on Science and Education of the CIS Interparliamentary Assembly, in a welcoming address by Valentina Matviyenko.

In recent years, significant initiatives have been adopted in the areas of regulating artificial intelligence, distance learning, and the use of digital tools, said Dmitry Kobitsky, Secretary General of the CIS IPA Council and Honorary Professor of SPbPU, in his welcoming remarks.

State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin addressed the participants with a greeting. He expressed confidence that the topics discussed at the congress are important for strengthening international humanitarian cooperation, implementing socially significant projects, and overcoming contemporary challenges. The text of the greeting was read by Kazbek Taysayev, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on CIS Affairs, Eurasian Integration, and Relations with Compatriots.

Greetings were sent by CIS Secretary General Sergei Lebedev and heads of state academic and professional academies of the CIS countries.

Andrey Rudskoy, Rector of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, Head of the St. Petersburg Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Chairman of the Expert Council on Science and Education at the IPA CIS, presented expanded information on the "Technological Sovereignty" project at the plenary session. The project creates Russian educational programs to train specialists with deep engineering, social, and logical knowledge, strengthens basic and targeted training, and unites a consortium of universities and businesses, with the possibility for universities to establish joint-stock companies.

The strategy of engineering and technological sovereignty is a direct response to systemic challenges and sanctions pressure, leading to restrictions on the supply of high-tech products, equipment, components, and software, posing a threat to the functioning of entire industries, from aircraft manufacturing to the oil and gas sector. And Russian science is not just one element in this context, but the foundation and driver of the implementation of the strategy of engineering and technological sovereignty. Without a strong scientific foundation, the ability to generate breakthrough ideas, and without an effective system for transferring these ideas into technologies and products, achieving true sovereignty is impossible. Science is ceasing to be simply a field of knowledge production and becoming a strategic resource for national development, Andrei Ivanovich emphasized in his speech.

Under the leadership of Andrey Rudskoy, over 150 faculty and students from the Polytechnic University participated in the congress. Around 40 volunteers from the "Polytechnic Squad" of the Higher School of Law and Technical Education supported the congress events in collaboration with the Secretariat of the IPA CIS and the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation.

The congress included expert sessions devoted to key aspects of education. The Polytechnic University organized the congress, including the expert session "Anti-Corruption Education in the Paradigm of Modern Education." Keynote speakers included Svetlana Ivanova, Academician of the Russian Academy of Education; Igor Matskevich, Rector of the University of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation; Bakhtiyor Rasulov, Rector of the Andijan State Pedagogical Institute of the Republic of Uzbekistan; Yevgeny Kolenko, Deputy Head of the Law Enforcement Academy of the Republic of Uzbekistan; Violetta Ladutko and Ekaterina Novikova, Deans and Heads of Departments at leading universities in Belarus; Naira Zohrabyan, Dean of the Armenian University; and other representatives of the academic community in the Commonwealth of Independent States countries.

Dmitry Mokhorov, the session moderator and Deputy Chairman of the IPA CIS Expert Council on Science and Education, noted in his speech: "Effective anti-corruption education is an end-to-end and continuous process that is the cornerstone of building a rule-of-law state."

Experts explored new, effective models of anti-corruption education as a system-forming element for fostering a legal culture and building a rule-of-law state. The key focus, according to the specialists, is integrating these approaches into secondary and higher education systems and interactions with law enforcement agencies.

Dmitry Mokhorov presented a brief overview of the activities of the IPA CIS Expert Council on Science and Education, chaired by SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy. The discussion focused on anti-corruption education and the prospects for its development in the CIS.

Lectures, quizzes, and workshops: how Moscow's schoolchildren and students are being taught to respect nature

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Moscow Government – Moscow Government –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Three years ago, regional waste management operator JSC Ecotechprom developed a proprietary environmental literacy program for schoolchildren and students. Classes are held in Moscow schools, colleges, universities, and cultural and family centers by appointment.

Eco-lessons are aimed at developing healthy environmental habits in young Muscovites and fostering a conscious and caring attitude toward the environment. The Moscow City Services Complex explained what specialists teach and how to participate in the program.

Lessons in schools

Environmental literacy classes are free. The format can be customized to suit the children's preferences, including themed lectures, quizzes, and workshops.

During the lectures, specialists discuss Moscow's waste separation program and explain how sorting helps conserve natural resources, reduce waste, and make the world around us cleaner and more beautiful.

The waste separation program began in Moscow almost six years ago, on January 1, 2020. Each site in the city's courtyards is equipped with two-color containers: blue ones for recyclables, and gray ones for mixed waste. The number of program participants and the amount of waste collected are growing every year. In 2024 alone, more than 1.65 million tons were sorted and sent for recycling, compared to only 450,000 tons before the program's launch in 2019.

The "Separate and Act" environmental quiz is particularly popular among schoolchildren. It's a fun and engaging team game for high school students about waste separation and responsible consumption. During the quiz, participants discuss the principles of waste sorting, study product labels, and learn interesting facts about an eco-friendly lifestyle. Some questions require ingenuity and erudition. In the practical task, teams must demonstrate their skills and correctly separate waste into two containers.

To organize a lesson or quiz at an educational institution, simply send a request to the email address: press@eco-pro.ru or through the form atoperator's website.

Classes in museums and eco-centers

The Moscow Museum of Urban Economy at VDNKh also teaches about caring for nature and its resources through play. During the interactive game "Waste Sorting," children and adults can test their knowledge of waste separation. Participants must carefully follow the image on the screen and correctly sort items into five containers: paper, plastic, organic waste, metal, and glass. There are also tricky tasks: for example, they must quickly figure out what to do with batteries or a fire extinguisher. If a participant makes a mistake, they will be told which container they should have chosen.

A display next to the slot machine offers helpful information about recycling and making new things from recycled materials. Visitors can learn how many plastic bottle caps it takes to create a uniquely designed skateboard and what can be gained from recycling bottles. The museum can be visited individually or as part of a study group.

The Yauza Ecocenter also provides useful knowledge. Young guests learn about the eco-professions of the future, challenges in ecology and environmental protection, and solutions. The center hosts thematic lectures, workshops, games, and quests. School groups can sign up for unique lessons featuring demonstrations of natural phenomena. For example, the educational multimedia tour "Ecosphere: Lithosphere, Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Biosphere" introduces children to the structure of our planet and unusual facts about its inhabitants.

Sobyanin: Renovated buildings save up to 40% of resources compared to five-story buildings

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

New houses by renovation program save up to 40 percent of resources compared to old five-story buildings. Sergei Sobyanin announced this on his channel in MAX messenger.

"When moving in, residents receive not only new apartments and landscaped courtyards, but also modern, energy-efficient housing. These buildings consume less heat and electricity per square meter," the Moscow Mayor noted.

Source: Sergei Sobyanin's channel in MAX messenger

Energy efficiency is ensured by:

— individual heating units with automatic control and consumption metering. The equipment for these units is entirely manufactured in Russia;

— thermostats on heating appliances that allow residents to choose a comfortable temperature and pay only for actual consumption;

— automatic regulation of heating systems depending on the weather;

— modern lighting fixtures and motion sensors in entrances, vestibules and courtyards: energy-saving lamps consume significantly less energy than incandescent lamps;

— multi-layer facades and double-glazed windows that allow you to retain heat in winter and coolness in summer;

— modern thermal insulation of water supply and heating pipelines, as well as water-saving plumbing fixtures and equipment—all this minimizes resource loss.

Thanks to modern engineering systems, heat loss in buildings under the renovation program has been reduced by 30 percent, and the buildings are assigned high energy efficiency classes—A and B.
