Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin and Oksana Lut, Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, opened a multifunctional center (MFC) of the Association of Administrative and Technical Inspections (OATI) of the city of Moscow in the Ochakovo-Matveevskoye district on Ryabinovaya Street (property 38).

"There are over 130,000 units of self-propelled equipment registered in the capital – these are asphalt pavers, excavators, loaders, tractors, agricultural and other machines for large businesses. The number of ATVs is growing. Until recently, registering such equipment was quite a complicated process. We have changed the situation. Today, together with the Minister of Agriculture of Russia Oksana Lut, we inspected the new multifunctional center of the Association of Administrative and Technical Inspections of the City of Moscow on Ryabinovaya Street. Here you can get all the necessary services in a single window in one visit: from registering cars and passing a technical inspection to passing exams and obtaining a license to drive them. As a result, the time for providing services will be reduced by at least half. There are no analogues of such a complex in our country yet, and it is based on the best modern technological solutions," Sergei Sobyanin wrote in

Of the 130.6 thousand self-propelled vehicles registered in Moscow, legal entities own 92.8 thousand units, and citizens own 35.5 thousand units. Among them:

— road construction machinery (37 percent) — rollers, asphalt pavers, excavators;

— municipal vehicles (31 percent) — forklifts and front-end loaders, tractors;

— agricultural machinery (23 percent) — tractors, combines;

— off-road vehicles (nine percent) — snowmobiles, ATVs, buggies.

"Obtaining all the necessary documents should be as convenient, clear and fast as possible. To this end, we are working on creating a single digital ecosystem of Gostekhnadzor, which will contain all the information on the stages of ownership, registration, technical inspection, insurance and disposal of equipment and will ensure the synchronization of the work of all interested departments. Special thanks to the Mayor of Moscow for supporting the development of the capital's Gostekhnadzor. The approach implemented in the new MFC is focused on fast and high-quality service provision, digitalization and customer focus. We plan to extend this practice to other regions," said Oksana Lut.

Sergei Sobyanin thanked the minister for his assistance in implementing a project that is important for the city.

"We created the most comfortable conditions for registration. Although this is the center of administrative inspection, the most important task was to create conditions, because after all, tens of thousands of vehicles that require technical inspection, obtaining rights, re-registration – all this did not happen in the best conditions. Thank you very much for giving us advice, giving the technical task, coordinating such a joint project of Gostekhnadzor in Moscow. We are ready to share our experience, help, create conditions. Thank you very much. I think this is an important project," said the Mayor of Moscow.

Technology and comfort

The area of the multifunctional center of the OATI of the city of Moscow is 5.5 thousand square meters. It includes the flagship center of the Specialized State Inspectorate for Supervision of the Technical Condition of Self-Propelled Machines and Other Types of Equipment of Moscow (Gostekhnadzor of the city of Moscow), sites for technical inspection and registration of self-propelled equipment and for practical training and exams for the right to operate it.

The flagship MFC provides three government services: registration, technical inspection and issuance of a permit for driving a tractor driver.

"Registration and technical inspection take about 40 minutes. Passing the practical and theoretical parts of the exam and receiving a ready tractor driver's license takes an hour and a half," said Alexandra Plekhanova, head of the one-stop service at the flagship MFC. "The theoretical exam is on computers, and the practice is on the training ground, which we also have here."

An administrative and garage complex has also been built to accommodate operating services and ensure the operation of the OATI specialized equipment fleet. In 2026, it is planned to commission a laboratory that will monitor the quality of work performed on road and other sites, and conduct tests of materials used in the improvement and repair of municipal facilities.

The MFC has created a comfortable environment for visitors, including an electronic support system (navigation), reception, cloakroom, spacious halls, waiting areas, and a cafe. Initial reception and issuance of completed documents are carried out in a separate spacious room equipped with the necessary equipment and comfortable furniture.

Parking spaces have been allocated for applicants arriving by private transport. It is also possible to unload the equipment provided for inspection from a lowboy directly on the territory of the center. Previously, this required looking for parking spaces on the streets, which was inconvenient for owners and created additional difficulties for other drivers.

Technical inspection and exams

During the technical inspection, specialists check the operation of equipment that determines traffic safety: for example, steering, braking and hydraulic systems, light signaling, as well as the condition of tire treads. More than 25 special devices are provided for this. If the car meets the required parameters, the State Technical Supervision Authority of Moscow issues a certificate of passing the technical inspection (TO).

As for the previously operating inspection sites in Golyanovo on Montazhnaya Street (building 11) and in Chertanovo Tsentralny on Podolskikh Kursantov Street (building 7, building 16), they are in demand and will continue to operate.

Before the opening of the MFC, exams for the right to operate self-propelled equipment were held at one of 18 training centers located in different parts of the city. Applicants had to wait for an inspector of the State Technical Supervision Service of Moscow to arrive at one or another training center. To receive a ready certificate, it was necessary to personally come to the State Technical Supervision Service department no earlier than the next day after the exam.

In the new MFC, taking exams and issuing tractor driver's licenses will take no more than two hours. It will also be possible to choose a convenient time for this in advance.

For passing theoretical and practical exams for the right to operate self-propelled equipment, the MFC has four specialized classrooms, as well as a unique site occupying more than 0.8 hectares. It fully complies with the current requirements and recommendations of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia for the area, number and sequence of examination exercises.

At the same time, the new site allows you to take a practical exam on three types of equipment, such as an all-terrain vehicle (ATV), a tractor, an auto- and an electric forklift. Exams are accepted in six categories of self-propelled vehicles: A1 (ATV, ATV), A2 (all-terrain vehicle, buggy), B (mini tractors), C (forklifts, excavator-loader), D (tractors with high engine power), E (tracked excavators).

The maximum objectivity of the assessment during the exam will be ensured by the intelligent system "Smart Polygon". Using video cameras, sensors, and a GNSS RTK positioning complex, the system collects and analyzes data on the condition, location, trajectory, and speed of the self-propelled vehicle during the exam, recording errors in completing the exercises.

There is also a video recording that can be viewed. This is especially important in the event of an unsuccessful exam, as it allows you to understand the mistakes made.

Owners and drivers of self-propelled equipment can apply for government services at the new center on Ryabinovaya Street on the mos.ru portal.

The multifunctional center of the Moscow City OATI is open five days a week (except Saturday and Sunday): Monday – Thursday from 08:00 to 17:00, Friday – from 08:00 to 15:45 (lunch break from 12:00 to 12:45). It is expected to receive more than 20 thousand visitors per year.

Theatre-goers have known the name of Boris Yukhananov since the 1980s, when he created the country's first independent group, "Theater-Theater", which revealed the genre of performance in a different way. He gave new life to one of the most famous theatres in Moscow, and each performance created by him became a real cultural event.

From GITIS to "Theater-Theater"

Boris Yukhananov was born in 1957 in Moscow. After school, he entered the Voronezh Institute of Arts, choosing the specialty of "theater and film actor". Later, he decided to continue his theater education and was enrolled in GITIS – this time to specialize in "drama director".

The future master graduated from GITIS in 1986, and his name was almost immediately recognized by everyone who loved art and followed what was happening in this area. Boris Yukhananov became a co-founder of the cinematographic movement "Parallel Cinema", created in opposition to auteur cinema and official art. The participants were directors from Moscow and Leningrad; in their films, they emphasized various non-public topics, not always understandable to the mass audience.

At the same time, Boris Yuryevich did not stop paying attention to his main passion – the theater. In the spring of 1986, he created an independent group "Theater-Theater", whose members explored the genre of performance, looking for new stage forms and methods. Thus, the first project of the group was the play "Misanthrope", shown not on the usual stage, but in one of the courtyards of Arbat. The performance was based on the complete interaction of the actors, each of whom, in the course of the action, became the author of his own role.

The next production of "Theatre-Theatre" is "Mon Repos", which combined texts by Joseph Brodsky, Vladimir Nabokov, Moliere. Boris Yukhananov was one of the first in the country to make the audience participants in the action – as a guide, he led them around an old mansion, told stories, looking into the rooms and commenting on the scenes that took place in them.

"MIR" and other projects

Soon Boris Yuryevich's teaching career began. He taught at the Free Academy in Moscow, GITIS, where he himself had once studied.

In addition, he actively staged plays in the most famous theaters of Moscow. His productions could be seen at the Theater for Young Spectators, the Russian Academic Youth Theater, and the Vsevolod Meyerhold Center. The master also worked a lot at the School of Dramatic Art: his popular production was "The Observer" about rock musicians. The director based it on a play by playwright Alexei Shipenko.

In the late 1980s, Boris Yukhananov created a large-scale project in which students and recent graduates — directors and actors — could take part. "Individual Directing Workshop" ("MIR") worked at the intersection of theater, cinema and contemporary art — creating something new, their own, participants simultaneously learned from experienced artists, sound engineers, make-up artists, set designers. After the successful first intake, "Individual Directing Workshop" continued to exist — several more streams appeared, and a directing and acting course was opened at GITIS. The last intake, in "MIR-7", took place in 2023.

Under the leadership of Boris Yuryevich, other projects were born that became real events in the cultural life of the city. One of them is the project-performance "Faust" by Goethe, presented in 1999 at the School of Dramatic Art. At the festival "Pushkin

Another interesting project is the Laboratory of Angelic Directing (LAR), within the framework of which Boris Yuryevich staged the play The Tale of an Upright Man: one of the main characters was a girl who was unable to walk or speak due to illness. In the early 2000s, a workshop for studying Torah texts, LaboraToria, was created, exploring the interactions of theatrical and sacred, as well as the project Nazidanie, in the title of which Yukhananov encrypted the name of Zinedine Zidane: Boris Yuryevich turned the conflict that arose between the football player during the game into a fight of higher powers. The project includes a play, an installation and a film.

Film and video works are a separate topic in the creative biography of the director. Back in the 1980s, he began experimenting with a video camera, filming a video novel in one thousand cassettes "The Mad Prince" (there were 20 chapters in total). Among such works are the trilogy "Mad Angel Pinocchio", a film about "Theater-Theater", a documentary video mystery "Edification" and much more.

"Stanislavsky Electrotheatre"

In 2013, Boris Yukhananov was appointed artistic director of the Moscow Drama Theatre named after K.S. Stanislavsky. The first thing he did in his new position was to completely modernize the theatre. It was closed for two years, and during this time, they renovated it, thought out a new repertoire, and created a new concept. The name was also changed – the idea for the new name was suggested to Boris Yuryevich by the past of this building: once upon a time, it housed the Ars Electrotheatre, where silent films were shown accompanied by a special orchestra.

The first premiere of the renovated theatre was Maurice Maeterlinck's "The Blue Bird" directed by Boris Yukhananov. The roles were played by People's Artist of Russia Vladimir Korenev, who passed away in 2021, and his wife Aleftina Konstantinova.

Boris Yukhananov invited world-famous stars to collaborate: Theodoros Terzopoulos, Romeo Castellucci and others. He himself also staged many performances, each of which was discussed at length by critics and theater fans. Thus, the opera series "Sverliytsy" to the music of Dmitry Kurlyandsky, telling about the parallel civilization of Sverliya, received the Golden Mask award in 2016 (for the costumes of the artist Anastasia Nefedova), and in the production "Octavia. Trepanation" the director combined the USSR, Ancient Rome and the Chinese Empire into a single whole. The first version of "Octavia" was created by him back in 1989 and has undergone significant changes since then. By the way, the director wrote books about many of his works.

"The Stanislavsky Electrotheatre" under the direction of Boris Yukhananov has become more than just a theatre – it is a venue where exhibitions and performances, lectures and book presentations take place, it is a place where the most daring creative experiments are not afraid.

In 2018, Boris Yuryevich received the title of "Honorary Artist of the City of Moscow". He passed away on August 5, 2025 – the director passed away after a long illness.
