The capital pays great attention to the water industry – from preparing drinking water to maintaining the biobalance in water bodies. Specialists take care not only of the Moscow River, but also of all small rivers and ponds. They closely monitor the quality of water in drinking sources and test water at all stages of its path to the taps of city apartments.

Find out how the bioplateau zone is structured

Forum visitors "Moscow 2030. Territory of the Future"in the Luzhniki Olympic Complex, visitors can learn more about modern methods of cleaning water bodies, as well as what bioplateau zones are and how they are arranged. On the site of the city economy complex in the Podkova zone, not far from the master class pavilion, there is a life-size model of the capital's pond, where rehabilitation work was carried out. Guests will see what plants are planted in the bioplateau zone and how the gabion reinforcement of the coastal strip is arranged.

An important element of the rehabilitation of the capital's water bodies is the creation of a bioplateau. For this purpose, special zones are allocated in the pond, where aquatic plants are planted. In this way, a unique ecosystem is created that promotes self-purification of water. The bioplateau serves as a shelter for fish and a nesting place for waterfowl.

The most popular plants of the bioplato of Moscow ponds are different types of irises, umbrella russula, narrow-leaved cattail, reed, bulrush and water lilies. All of them not only decorate the surface of the reservoirs, but also prevent the reproduction of algae that cause pond bloom, contribute to the improvement of the ecological balance, as well as self-purification of water from harmful impurities.

Purify the water and assemble the image of the water tower

Specialists from the State Unitary Enterprise Mosvodostok are holding a master class where participants can try themselves in the role of employees of the city economy complex, operating model boats in a special pool.

The City Economy Festival also offers other events that introduce the water industry. In the master class pavilion, visitors assemble limited edition puzzles dedicated to the Moscow water supply system. Last year, it turned 220 years old. The first gravity water supply system opened in 1804, and it laid the foundation for the modern water supply system for about 15 million residents of the Moscow region. Guests are invited to assemble an image of the Krestovsky water towers. This is a key element of the city's 19th-century water supply system that has not survived.

Create your own pipeline

Young forum participants can create their own engineering structure "Pipeline" using special tubes and connecting elements. In doing so, they will learn what a long way water travels from sources through water treatment stations to the taps of Moscow apartments.

Today, there are about 13 thousand kilometers of water supply networks in the capital. Water quality is monitored along its entire path from the source to the consumer. More than 500 automatic analyzers help monitor this — they are installed at water treatment stations and in the distribution network. And also — in-house laboratories, which are located at all four water treatment stations. Moscow water is analyzed based on the maximum number of physical, chemical and biological indicators — 200 in total.

In addition, the site has tanks from Mosvodokanal JSC with drinking water, which anyone can try.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

You can now pay for travel using biometrics at all turnstiles on the Zamoskvoretskaya and Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya metro lines. The service is available at 792 payment devices for passage. Previously, the possibility of paying by biometrics was only available at two or three turnstiles at each station.

"Sergey Sobyanin has instructed to connect all metro turnstiles to the biometric payment system by the end of 2025. The service is already working on all payment equipment for passage on 13 lines. And the total number of metro turnstiles where payment by facial recognition is available has exceeded three thousand. In 2026, we will connect the turnstiles of all Moscow Central Diameters stations to the system so that paying for travel is just as convenient and safe," said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry

Maxim Liksutov.

You can connect the biometric payment function after registering in the application "Moscow Metro". The user needs to log into their personal account, take a photo of their face and link a bank card to pay for travel. The neural network converts the image into a unique biometric key consisting of a set of encrypted symbols. The original photo cannot be restored.

To enter the station, you need to go to the turnstile marked with a black sticker and look into the camera located on it. The device will detect your face in the frame and generate a biometric key. Then the neural network will compare it with the key from the database in one second. If they match, the doors will open. The fare of 63 rubles will be debited from the passenger's account automatically.

Biometric payment was launched at all metro stations in 2021. Moscow is the leader in the number of types of transport where this payment instrument is available. You can pay for travel using biometrics in the metro, on the Moscow Central Circle, on Aeroexpress trains, on regular river routes and on some stations of the Moscow Central Diameters. Today, this payment method is used about 170 thousand times every weekday, and more than 500 thousand people are registered in the system.

Results of the 2025 Admissions Campaign

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The admission campaign is a small life, full of expectations, hopes and important decisions. For thousands of applicants, the summer of 2025 was marked by the choice of a future profession, and for the Polytechnic University – in an effort to make this process as comfortable and understandable as possible. And now all the decisions have been made, the enrollment orders have been signed. A new, already student life is ahead.

The vast majority of documents (99%) were submitted by applicants remotely through the State Services portal, which allowed students from all corners of Russia to become part of the large Polytechnic family without any hassle. Applicants to master's and postgraduate programs could also submit an application through the Unified Portal.

But the admissions committee was also happy to meet in person. A modern multifunctional space was organized in the reading room of the main academic building, where it was possible to submit documents with the help of employees, conclude an agreement and submit consent for enrollment. Nearby, there were institute stands, where teachers, employees and students spoke in detail about programs, internships and employment prospects. An innovation this year were tours of laboratories, allowing applicants and their parents to get acquainted with the university infrastructure.

In 2025, Polytechnic broke its own record, receiving almost 149,000 applications for budget and contract places. The average USE score of those admitted to the budget increased to 84.3 (versus 83.8 in 2024), and the passing score for all areas exceeded 200.

The growth of interest in classical engineering specialties is particularly noticeable, which confirms the demand for training personnel for the real sector of the economy.

Leaders in Passing Score Growth

Technosphere safety (16 points) Metallurgy (13 points) Technical physics (12 points) Biotechnology (9 points)

At the same time, the passing score for many technical specialties is equal to popular IT areas: “Construction of unique buildings and structures” (266 points), “Mechatronics and robotics” (258 points), “Nuclear energy and thermal physics” (272 points).

Traditionally, the IT fields lead in the number of applications submitted: "Software Engineering" (4537), "Information Systems and Technologies" (3698), "Computer Science and Computer Engineering" (3506). Among the engineering specialties, the greatest interest was generated by: "Construction" (3760), "Electric Power Engineering and Electrical Engineering" (2597), "Construction of Unique Buildings and Structures" (2497).

The success of the admissions campaign is laid long before the summer. Motivated applicants with high scores come to the Polytechnic University largely due to the large-scale career guidance work that is carried out throughout the year.

The Polytechnic University actively supports the Olympiad movement, acting as an organizer and co-organizer of competitions for schoolchildren in a wide range of areas. Successful participation in Olympiads (including the All-Russian School Olympiad) from the list of the Russian Council of Olympiads gives applicants the right to enter without passing entrance examinations. In 2025, a new support system was introduced: applicants admitted without entrance examinations (BVI) and with high Unified State Exam scores will receive a grant of up to 120,000 rubles with the possibility of additional payments for excellent studies. This year, the Polytechnic University accepted 185 Olympiad participants – winners and prize winners of competitions, while the number of applicants with high Unified State Exam scores exceeded 400 people.

The Directorate of Pre-University Education and Talent Attraction carries out large-scale work: it organizes educational programs and specialized shifts in leading all-Russian children's centers and regional centers for gifted children. Schoolchildren from all over the country immerse themselves in the world of modern technologies, studying relevant areas – mechanical engineering, unmanned transport, IT and biotechnology – and trying themselves in the role of researchers.

With the beginning of the holidays, summer educational intensives traditionally open – the Summer School and the Engineering League, dedicated to key areas for the Polytechnic: energy, aircraft and rocket engineering, IT, data analysis and others.

An important part of career guidance work is campus tours: thousands of schoolchildren visit academic buildings and laboratories every year to get to know the life of the Polytechnic from the inside. University representatives also actively participate in exhibitions of educational institutions across the country – from the Far East to the south of Russia. These efforts bring results: 70% of those enrolled from various regions choose the Polytechnic every year.

The key innovation of this admissions campaign was the "Petrovskaya Wave" system. It guaranteed admission to all applicants who scored the required passing score, making the process more transparent and reducing anxiety for many applicants.

"2025 has become a time of significant changes for the Polytechnic Admissions Committee," noted Varvara Sotova, Director of the Center for Formation of the Contingent of Students. "We have managed to implement a number of carefully prepared innovations: the launch of the "Petrovskaya Wave," an increase in grants for Olympiad winners, and the holding of the admissions campaign in a single space – the reading room. We are glad that everything was done at a high level."

A huge thank you to the large team that worked all summer long — you are real professionals! And to the new large team of more than 10,000 first-year polytechnic students — we wish you interesting studies, a rich and vibrant student life! — shared the responsible secretary of the admissions committee, Vitaly Drobchik.

The admission campaign for the Master's degree also showed impressive results. 23,827 applications were submitted for 2,340 budget places, and 6,789 for fee-paying places.

The most popular IT Master's programs

Technology of development and support of high-quality software product — 680 applications Fundamentals of analysis and development of applications with large volumes of distributed data — 624 applications Systems analysis and optimization of information systems and technologies — 544 applications Leaders of the engineering block Organization and management of investment and construction projects — 638 applications Digital construction of buildings and structures — 569 applications Urban construction and infrastructure — 388 applications

A unique feature of the Polytechnic's Master's program is its corporate programs, launched jointly with leading industrial partners. They provide students with real projects, mentors and guaranteed employment.

This year, the admissions committee placed special emphasis on the portfolio competition, following which 551 people received a place at the university. Also enrolled were 14 winners of the "I am a professional" Olympiad and 2 winners of the All-Russian engineering competition.

"This year's admission to the Polytechnic University's Master's program has confirmed the success of the individual approach and the practice of assessing the achievements of applicants," commented Vice-Rector for Educational Activities Lyudmila Pankova. "We see a steady increase in the number of participants and applicants using this mechanism year after year – the practice is fully justified. We congratulate the new Master's students and wish them to realize their most ambitious scientific and professional goals."

The admissions campaign is over, and the main heroes of Polytechnic University 2025 are ready to make new discoveries!

September 3 – Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

September 3 is the Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism in Russia. Today we remember the victims of terrorist attacks and pay tribute to law enforcement officers who died in the fight against terrorists.

Solidarity Day is directly connected with the tragic events in Beslan on September 1-3, 2004. Then, during a ceremonial assembly at School No. 1, a group of terrorists took more than 1,100 children, their parents and teachers hostage. The school was mined, and the hostages were kept in the gym in the harshest conditions. The entire country watched with horror the dramatic events unfolding in the small Beslan school.

On the third day, a series of explosions occurred in the building and an assault began. Most of the hostages were freed. 333 people died, including 186 children.

This pain will never go away from my heart.

On September 3, 2005, the Tree of Sorrow monument was unveiled at the City of Angels Memorial Cemetery, where the victims of the terrorist attack are buried. The school gymnasium remained a makeshift memorial for a long time, where relatives and friends of the victims and caring people would come. A wooden Orthodox cross was installed in the middle of the hall, and the walls were covered with photographs of the victims. Common grief unites, and among the inscriptions on the walls one can see the words “Nord-Ost is with you”. Flowers and children’s toys lay near the cross and along the walls of the hall, and there were open bottles of water, symbolizing the suffering of the hostages from thirst. “We beg you, give us water,” reads the inscription on the memorial drinking fountain installed in the City of Angels.

Following these terrible events, security measures were strengthened in all schools across the country: barriers were built, panic buttons were installed, and contracts with security companies were concluded. Security is also monitored in higher education institutions. Anti-terrorist training is regularly held at the Polytechnic University, and video surveillance is installed. We appeal to all employees and students – be vigilant, report all suspicious people and objects to the University Security Center by phone: 7 (921) 940-66-75, 8 (812) 534-61-18.

Updated according to the program "My school" the building opened September 1stIn total, 51 capital schools opened their doors on the first day of autumn after complete reconstruction.

In modern educational spaces, children can realize their talents and master new technologies, because every element, from interior details to classroom equipment, is thought out for the comfort and comprehensive development of children.

"The My School project does not simply change educational spaces, but creates high-quality and technological conditions for learning and creativity. And in the coming years, the program will allow us to bring all schools that are morally and physically outdated into a modern educational form. Today, 100 buildings are already under renovation, which will welcome students in September 2026," she noted.

Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.

mos.ru correspondents visited school No. 1770 and found out what it looked like after the reconstruction.

School of the Future

In the Nagatinsky Zaton district, there are nine buildings of school No. 1770: four for schoolchildren and five for preschoolers. The reconstructed building is located at 56 Nagatinskaya Embankment. More than 800 children from first to 11th grade study here.

The typical school building consists of two multi-level buildings connected by a two-story covered passage. The light façade with turquoise accents looks modern and expressive. The specialists also repaired the roof, all utility lines, replaced windows and doors, installed a ramp and landscaped the school yard. Now it is decorated with pergolas, playgrounds and sports grounds, neatly trimmed lawns and wooden benches.

"At the end of May last year, this building was closed for reconstruction, and students were temporarily transferred to other buildings. Thanks to the redevelopment, additional space appeared, and this year we accepted 180 more students than before. The interior design was done according to the uniform standards of the My School program, the educational space became modern and technological," says the director of school No. 1770, Honored Teacher of Russia Mikhail Goremykin.

Recreation islands and laboratory research complexes

The tour starts from the right four-story building. The first floor is reserved for the elementary school, the second floor is for fourth- and fifth-graders, and the upper floors are for seniors. The teachers lead us along the corridors with suspended ceilings with loft-style acoustic panels and LED lamps. Between the classrooms there are cozy recreation areas with round poufs, armchairs with soundproof soft panels, and sofa houses. To help children spend their leisure time usefully, there are marker boards on the walls. The usual coolers have been replaced with stylish drinking fountains, and drawers with combination locks have been installed for the students' personal belongings.

The dining room on the first floor has changed beyond recognition, it is now a dining hall: arched openings have added light and space. The guys can come here not only for hot lunches, but also for pastries and the legendary pizza, which many graduates remember.

The universal classrooms, located on both sides of the corridor, are equipped with desks and ergonomic chairs that correct posture. Traditional blackboards have been replaced with interactive panels with LED lamps. Now it is possible to conduct foreign language, computer science and natural science lessons in classrooms with transformable partitions. They allow two groups to study simultaneously without interfering with each other.

"The school also has specialized classrooms equipped depending on the profile. And modern laboratory and research complexes equipped with digital and stereoscopic microscopes, 3D printers and all the necessary equipment will allow students to work on their own projects and conduct scientific experiments," says Ekaterina Kuleshova, curator of engineering classes at School No. 1770.

By the start of the school year, the grounds of more than 60 educational institutions in Moscow have been improvedSobyanin presented new digital solutions at the Moscow Electronic School

Universal gyms, machines and constructors

The reconstruction under the city program "My School" takes into account all the details of the modern educational process. The stairs were equipped with multi-level chrome railings, convenient navigation was placed on each floor, and the windowsills in the corridors became wide and functional. Now you can prepare for lessons, read a book or work with a tablet on them.

But the main value of the renovated school is in the equipment of classrooms and the additional educational opportunities that have appeared thanks to this. Thus, the technology room on the first floor has been completely transformed. Now it resembles an engineering laboratory – with voluminous black suitcases on tables with a metal coating and stylish safe-tables.

"From the sets in these suitcases, you can assemble eight types of machines: a lathe, a drilling machine, a grinder, a woodworking machine, a milling machine, and others. And in the boxes by the left wall of the room are metal construction sets for fourth-graders. With their help, children will learn to use basic tools: a screwdriver, pliers, and wrenches," says Nikolai Slepnev, a technology teacher at School No. 1770.

We move to the neighboring three-story building. In addition to classrooms, on the second floor there are gymnastics and sports halls with safe soft walls, non-slip surfaces, basketball hoops and all kinds of equipment – from gymnastics to step platforms.

"The school has been renovated so well, you can't even recognize it! My sister, my eldest son, and I all studied here, and now my daughter Varvara has started third grade. I'm glad they did everything for the children after the reconstruction," says Tatyana Frolova, the mother of a nine-year-old student at School No. 1770.

Lectures on psychology for parents are being held in renovated Moscow schoolsA large educational complex with a sports center will appear in the Moskvorechye-Saburovo district

Atrium and modern media library

The usual assembly hall has been transformed into a multifunctional atrium. Instead of spectator chairs, wide wooden benches of the "amphitheater" type have been installed here, and the stage has been made at the same level with the floor, marking its boundaries with a semicircular curtain. In such a modern space, it is convenient not only to give concerts and show performances, but also to hold seminars, lectures, organize film screenings and other events.

The main pride of the renovated school was the media block, which occupied the entire third floor of the building. It housed two classrooms equipped with modern computers, video cameras, projectors, microphones and other equipment, as well as a spacious media library. For the convenience of students, noise-proof booths resembling telephone booths were installed in it. Each of them has a laptop with Internet access.

According to Irina Marenkova, a teacher in the media class at School No. 1770, future journalists, directors, and presenters can make podcasts, voice over and edit videos, write longreads and posts for social networks here without interference or distracting noise.

"My two sons have entered the first and fifth grades. The impressions of the school are amazing: I myself would like to sit at these desks and study on such equipment. The level of teachers here is appropriate. Children will go to such a school with joy," says Muscovite Maria Chesnokova.

It is important for us not only to record our country's victories, but also to preserve the memory of those who achieved them. The new electronic publication brings together official documents, memoirs of participants in the events, photographs and essays by war correspondents. These materials allow us to feel how great the price of Victory was and to understand the role that Muscovites and other residents of our country played in the defeat of militaristic Japan. We sought to make the book not only a scientific work, but also a source in which the voices of war participants and eyewitness accounts are heard for new generations," said the head of the Main Archives of Moscow

Yaroslav Onopenko.

The publication consists of four sections. The first two are devoted to brief biographical information about the Heroes of the Soviet Union and other Soviet servicemen. The sections are supplemented with photographs of soldiers, excerpts from award sheets, fragments of autobiographies, memoirs and other documents. All of them are collected in thematic collections "Moscow – with care for history", which include materials donated by city residents for eternal storage as part of the eponymous indefinite campaign, and "Heroes of the Soviet Union – Muscovites".

The third section of the book contains a selection of official documents on the main stages of the Soviet-Japanese War, essays by war correspondents, memoirs, texts of television and radio broadcasts, as well as fragments of audio interviews.

The materials include audio recordings of the memories of veterans Oleg and Sergey Pokomkin, as well as cameraman Vladislav Mikosha, who filmed the ceremony of signing the act of surrender of Japan. An important part of the section is information from the capital's party organs about the responses of workers in Moscow and the Moscow region to the events of the war. Many of these materials are published for the first time.

The fourth section is devoted to photo documents from the period of the USSR war with Japan. The publication is supplemented by a brief chronicle of military events and a toponymic dictionary with geographical names as of August-September 1945 and at the present time.

You can find the book in the virtual museum "Moscow – with care for history", in the hall “1941–1945”, section “Media Library”, subsection “Library”.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, the ruling circles of Japan have pursued an aggressive foreign policy, including towards Russia and then towards the USSR. In the second half of the 1930s, the situation in the Far East worsened, armed conflicts broke out twice: in 1938 – on Lake Khasan and in 1939 – on the Khalkhin-Gol River in Mongolia. Despite the signing of a neutrality treaty between the USSR and Japan in Moscow in April 1941, the Soviet leadership, fearing Japanese aggression, continued to keep armed forces numbering more than a million people in the Far East.

In February 1945, at the Yalta Conference, the leaders of the USSR, the USA and Great Britain signed an agreement on the Soviet Union's entry into the war with Japan two to three months after Germany's capitulation. At the same time, preparations began for a military operation in the Far East.

By August 1945, 136,000 railway cars with military personnel, combat equipment and ammunition had been transferred to the Far East and Transbaikalia. The Soviet group numbered about 1.75 million people. It was armed with about 30,000 guns and mortars, more than five thousand tanks and self-propelled artillery units, and over five thousand aircraft.

The overall command of the operation was carried out by the Commander-in-Chief of the Soviet Forces in the Far East, Marshal of the Soviet Union Alexander Vasilevsky. He had under his command the Transbaikal Front under the command of Marshal Rodion Malinovsky, the 1st Far Eastern Front under the command of Marshal Kirill Meretskov, the 2nd Far Eastern Front under the command of General of the Army Maxim Purkayev, as well as the Pacific Fleet under the command of Admiral Ivan Yumashev and the Amur Military Flotilla, led by Rear Admiral Neon Antonov. The activities of the ground forces and the navy were coordinated by the People's Commissar of the USSR Navy, Admiral of the Fleet Nikolai Kuznetsov.

The Soviet troops were confronted by the Kwantung Army, numbering over a million people. The Japanese defensive line stretched for 800 kilometers and consisted of 17 fortified areas with 4.5 thousand permanent fire structures.

On August 8, 1945, the People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs of the USSR Vyacheslav Molotov handed over a statement to the Japanese ambassador in Moscow, which stated that the Soviet Union acceded to the Potsdam Declaration of July 26, 1945, demanding the unconditional surrender of the Japanese armed forces and considered itself to be in a state of war with Japan from August 9.

Early in the morning of August 9, Soviet troops went on the offensive along the entire front line. The Manchurian Strategic Offensive Operation began, as a result of which the main forces of the Kwantung Army were routed by August 14. On this day, Emperor Hirohito issued a rescript on Japan's acceptance of the terms of the Potsdam Declaration and on its surrender. However, military actions continued in various directions until September 1.

As a result of the operation, Soviet troops completely defeated the Kwantung Army and liberated the territories of Northeast China, North Korea, South Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands. On September 2, the act of surrender of Japan was signed in Tokyo Bay. On the same day, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR declared September 3 a national holiday – the day of victory over Japan.

Thanks to the re-marking of the capital's roads, travel time has been reduced in 53 sections

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Since the beginning of the year, more than half of the planned projects of the Traffic Management Center (TMC) for re-marking have been implemented.

"Re-marking allows for faster and more comfortable travel without increasing the width of roads, even on highways with heavy traffic. Since the beginning of this year, additional lanes, new directions and U-turns have been installed on 53 sections. On the instructions of Sergei Sobyanin, we continue to improve traffic in the city," said Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry

Maxim Liksutov.

Thanks to the re-marking, traffic conditions are improved without changing the size of the roads: travel time is reduced, safety is increased and excess mileage is reduced.

Since the beginning of the year, 53 improvements have been implemented under the TSODD projects. For example, it was possible to increase the throughput capacity at the exits from the M-4 "Don" highway to the Moscow Ring Road (MKAD) by adding an additional lane. Travel time on this section was reduced from 5-10 minutes to one to three.

Also this year, two new U-turns were made on the Garden Ring before Dubininskaya and Tatarskaya Streets. This reduced the overrun by 1.8–2 kilometers, and travel time by 8–10 minutes.

At least 47 more projects are planned to be completed by the end of 2025. For example, adding lanes on the Third Transport Ring from 1st Setunsky Proezd to the exit onto Komsomolsky Prospekt and on Leningradskoye Shosse towards the region at the exits onto the Moscow Ring Road.

Re-marking reduces the excess width of existing lanes and adds additional lanes, which helps reduce congestion and eliminate bottlenecks. As a result, the capacity of congested areas increases and the average speed of movement increases. In addition, this tool is used to create new directions at intersections and additional U-turns. This creates alternative routes that help drivers get to their destination faster.
