At VDNKh, in the Museum of Heroism (Pavilion No. 59), there is a photo-painting exhibition called “Good Service” dedicated to the history of the special military operation (SVO). The author of the presented works is Russian film director, producer, actor and public figure Mikhail Matrosov.

The exhibition includes 24 works. Among the most poignant pictures are a photograph of a boy left homeless after a bombing, a fence riddled with shrapnel with the inscription "People are living", a cat that lost its owners and cuddled up to the chest of a Russian soldier, and an image of the Holy Mother of God captured in the window opening of an empty hut.

The exhibition tells about modern heroes, the courage of people who not only strive to survive, but also resist evil at the cost of their own lives. This is an artistic narrative about what is important for everyone today: about the battle for the Motherland, freedom and faith, for the preservation of the traditional heritage of the country, its moral and spiritual values.

The photographs were taken by Mikhail Matrosov and his front-line friends on the combat contact line, in front-line settlements and evacuation points, military hospitals and in liberated territories. The pictures were selected from a huge amount of photo and documentary film material, and then artistically processed using modern technology by the artist Ilya Ryabov.

The curator of the exhibition is Alena Dolgopolova, an international journalist and expert in the field of cultural diplomacy and international humanitarian relations.

The exhibition "Good Service" at the Museum of Heroism at VDNKh will last until September 15, 2025.

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

on your telegram channel.

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.
