On Senior Generation Day, the "Moscow Longevity" project is launching two citywide events. Muscovites will be able to thank their "silver"-aged relatives on media façades throughout the city and also join them for walks along specially designed routes. Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.

"Senior Generation Day is an event that gives us a new opportunity to appreciate the wisdom, experience, and warmth of our older relatives. To imbue this day with special meaning, Moscow Longevity is offering residents two touching events, which we hope will spark new family traditions. The first will allow everyone to publicly thank their parents and grandparents. Warm words from Muscovites will appear on media facades throughout the city and in a special art installation in Novopushkinsky Square, which will be on view until October 15. The second event is an invitation to spend time with loved ones and appreciate Moscow's picturesque autumn. We've prepared 15 special routes through various corners of the capital. You can start the day at the Moscow Longevity Center, where guests will receive a route map. Participants are guaranteed to walk at least six thousand steps, learn a lot, and feel good. You can join the event starting October 1," said Anastasia Rakova.

Go for a walk

The "Day Together" initiative invites Muscovites to spend time with their parents, grandparents, and other senior loved ones. Fifteen routes have been prepared for participants—one for each district and five for the city center. The ideal starting point is the nearest Moscow Longevity Center. There, you can pick up a printed route map, enjoy delicious tea together in a cozy living room, play board games, tennis, or billiards, and even measure your emotional state with a modern neuroheadset before getting ready for the walk. For those visiting the center for the first time, staff will give a tour and explain the project's capabilities in detail.

To make sure that shared walks truly become a good tradition, electronic versions of the routes will be available for download at any time onwebsite.

The routes are designed to allow Muscovites to visit several of the capital's most picturesque and popular sites in one day. For example, a walk through the Central Administrative District will pass by the Gorky Moscow Art Academic Theater, the State Tretyakov Gallery, and the Illusion Cinema. Each route will pass by a variety of places—from parks to museums and contemporary art galleries—so Muscovites have plenty of options for their leisure activities.

You can start the route from the following Moscow longevity centers: Presnensky (Presnensky Val Street, Building 14, Bldg. 5), Zamoskvorechye (Sadovnicheskaya Embankment, Building 47a), Tagansky-2 (Zemlyanoy Val Street, Building 68, Bldg. 1), Aeroport (Chernyakhovskogo Street, Building 14), Izmailovo (9th Parkovaya Street, Building 5a), VDNKh (Mira Avenue, Building 119, Bldg. 227), Novo-Peredelkino (Borovskoye Highway, Building 32), Severnoye Tushino (Khimkinsky Boulevard, Building 14, Bldg. 1), Krasnopakhorsky-3 (Shchapovo Settlement, Building 58), Savelki (ZelAO, Savelki District, Building 320), Tverskoy-2 (27 Malaya Dmitrovka Street), Khamovniki (3 Timura Frunze Street, Building 4), Teply Stan (152b Profsoyuznaya Street), Nagatinsky Zaton (34 Nagatinskaya Embankment), and Kuzminki (52 Yunyh Lenintsev Street). You can also pick up a walking map there.

Say a sincere thank you

The "Say Thank You to Your Seniors" campaign offers an opportunity to publicly express love and appreciation to seniors. On a dedicated website thankyoustarshim.rf Everyone can write a few warm words to their parents, grandparents or other loved ones.

The most touching messages will appear on media facades throughout the city. A message may also appear on the screen of the "Everything Here Is Not Accidental" art installation in Novopushkinsky Square. To do so, use the touch panel nearby to write kind words to loved ones. The main character of the art installation is a cat, personifying the comfort of home, wisdom, and warmth bestowed by the older generation. His nine lives are a metaphor for the endless possibilities of starting over at any age. A ball of yarn lies next to the cat, symbolizing the warmth of family ties and the connection between generations, and a retro television is installed next to him. Its screen will broadcast words of gratitude from Muscovites to their older loved ones.

The artist behind this artwork is Russian artist Vladimir Ivanov, a resident of the Moscow contemporary art gallery Askeri Gallery. In his works, he transforms familiar childhood images, imbuing them with new power and turning them into symbols of joy, warmth, and lightness. The gallery supported the "Say Thank Your Elders" campaign by creating a contemporary art installation on the theme of the "Moscow Longevity" project and the connection between generations. Such projects help art move beyond exhibition spaces and become part of the urban environment—on the streets, in parks, and in community centers.

The installation will be on display in Novopushkinsky Square until October 15. You can write your gratitude to the older generation right there on the spot, using a special touch panel.

Take part in the Self-Government Day

This weekend, October 4th and 5th, Moscow's longevity centers will host the "Self-Government Day" event. The project's participants will serve as the main hosts. They will welcome guests, share their experiences, and host various events, including creative workshops, mini-tournaments in billiards and table tennis, dance and drawing lessons, and concerts. Additionally, the 2025 film "Batya-2. Grandfather" will be shown at all Moscow longevity centers on this day.

The Moscow 2030 Forum discussed the participation of older generations in the city's economy.Participants of the Moscow Longevity project presented looks from collections of Moscow brands at Moscow Fashion Week.

Self-Government Day is a wonderful opportunity for the whole family—children, parents, and grandparents—to spend time together and learn about the Moscow Longevity project and its participants.

The NSU team became the winner of the All-Russian Open Student Biotournament for the first time in history.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On September 30, the 12th Open Student BioTournament, Russia's first biology-focused team competition, concluded in the science city of Pushchino in the Moscow Region. This year, 15 teams from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Tyumen, Kazan, and other cities competed for the title of the country's best biology team. Novosibirsk State University was represented by two teams: "meowRNA" and "GeneShtab," which took first and third place, respectively. This was the first time NSU had won such a prestigious biology competition.

The BioTournament is a unique format where participants propose original solutions to real-world scientific problems. The competition revolves around "scientific battles," which include a presentation, a discussion, a debate, and a review. Four days of intensive work were filled with heated discussions and intellectual battles.

Both NSU teams confidently advanced through the qualifying rounds, finishing in the top three in the semifinals and earning the right to compete in the final. In the final, they faced not only each other but also strong opponents from other cities.

Based on the results of the final stage, the GeneShtab team, consisting of 4th-year students, Faculty of Natural Sciences Yaroslava Gaburova (captain), Valeria Romanova, Anastasia Monogova, Nikita Linkov, and Dmitry Kurbatsky took the honorable third place.

The winner of the tournament was the "meowRNK" team, which included third- and fourth-year students from the Faculty of Natural Sciences: Nikita Ivanov (captain), Ekaterina Akhramenko, Ulyana Borovikova, Anastasia Panina, and Nail Bikeev.

"The main challenge was, without a doubt, the intense pace of the tournament. We had to solve a large number of complex problems within a tight deadline and immediately prepare compelling presentations. Essentially, we had to be both in-depth researchers and public speakers, quickly analyzing a huge amount of information. I'm confident that our team cohesion was our greatest asset and the key to success," commented Nikita Ivanov, captain of the "meowRNK" team.

For participants, the BioTournament was a wonderful opportunity to hone both their hard and soft skills: honing their public speaking skills, learning to defend their point of view in scientific debates, broadening their horizons, and making a wealth of useful connections for future collaborative projects. Competitions like these, where theory meets practice in heated debates, allow students to truly express themselves and ignite the spark that motivates them to achieve further scientific achievements.

"The competition was challenging, and the competition was very strong. This year's play was even a little more exciting than last year. We're glad we were able to represent ourselves well and take a place on the podium. We've all worked together to reach this day, and each of us gave a piece of ourselves to the BioTournament 2025 in the best sense of the word."

This tournament was a treasure trove of invaluable experience for me and my teammates. And, of course, we now know both our strengths in the difficult task of defending the fruits of our intellectual labor, as well as what we need to work on next. GeneShtab leaves with renewed ambition and confidence that we can achieve even more next year," noted Yaroslav Gaburov, captain of the GeneShtab team.

The teams were sponsored by Vector-Best and Pharma. The teams express their gratitude to their sponsors for the opportunity to participate in such an exciting and significant tournament and gain invaluable experience in scientific competitions.

"And, of course, a special thank you to NSU and the entire faculty. Their deep fundamental knowledge, critical thinking, and ability to solve unconventional problems formed the solid foundation that allowed us to confidently win such serious intellectual competitions," emphasized Nikita Ivanov.

Previously, participants from both teams represented NSU at the SynBio Challenges 2025 international synthetic biology competition in China, where they also demonstrated strong results and received gold medals.

D. Trump threatens to fire 'a lot of people' if there is a government shutdown

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the administration would fire "a lot of people" if there was a government shutdown, blaming Democrats for the current impasse in funding talks.

"The Democrats want to shut down the government. And when that happens, you have to fire people," the president told reporters at the White House.

"This shutdown is because of Donald Trump. He's the one causing it," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said, reposting a video of Trump.

On Tuesday, the American leader accused Democrats of insisting on providing free health care to illegal immigrants. Vice President J.D. Vance, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and Republican senators also made the accusation.

In his Senate testimony on Tuesday, Charles Schumer said too many Republicans are lying about the Democrats' position.

"The law prohibits undocumented immigrants from receiving Medicare, Medicaid, or the ACA (Affordable Care Act). Not a cent of the federal budget goes toward this," he said.

The federal government will shut down at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday (local time) unless the U.S. Congress approves a federal spending bill. Republicans, who currently hold 53 seats in the Senate, need the support of at least seven Democrats in the upper chamber to pass the bill.

The IAEA has warned of the precarious nuclear safety situation at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.

Vienna, October 1 (Xinhua) — The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) is facing a precarious nuclear safety situation after being without external power for more than a week, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported on Tuesday.

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said the agency is working with both Russia and Ukraine to facilitate the speedy restoration of off-site power supply to the Zaporizhzhya NPP.

On September 23, Zaporizhzhya NPP lost power for the tenth time due to damage to its only high-voltage line caused by military action. Emergency diesel generators then automatically resumed operation, providing power to the safety systems and cooling systems for the six Zaporizhzhya NPP reactors and the spent fuel.

"Although the plant is currently coping with the emergency diesel generators—the last line of defense—and there is no immediate danger as long as they continue to operate, it is clear that this is an unsustainable situation from a nuclear safety perspective. Neither side would benefit from a nuclear accident," warned R. Grossi.
