Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko, Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Siberian Federal District Anatoly Seryshev, Director of Rosfinmonitoring Yuri Chikhanchin, and Krasnoyarsk Krai Governor Mikhail Kotyukov welcomed representatives of the Russian national team to the 5th International Financial Security Olympiad in Krasnoyarsk and also spoke with schoolchildren at the "Conversations About What's Important" meeting.

Dmitry Chernyshenko and the students thanked Krasnoyarsk Krai Governor Mikhail Kotyukov for hosting the Olympiad in hospitable Krasnoyarsk.

The Deputy Prime Minister called the delegation members already winners, because they had passed a colossal selection process.

As a result of this selection, 190 students and 120 schoolchildren, representing all federal districts of Russia, participated in the finals.

"The country has given you a tremendous opportunity, and at this stage, you've made the best use of it. Our President, Vladimir Putin, has set one of our national goals as realizing the potential of every person and developing their talents. And you're demonstrating that you're adept at seizing these opportunities. It's no coincidence that I said you're already winners, because there will be no losers here. The greatest victory is that you've come together," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

He wished the team members to take advantage of this unique opportunity to become friends and demonstrate their commitment to the traditional values enshrined in President Vladimir Putin's decree.

Yuri Chikhanchin noted that some of the students are participating in the Olympiad for the first time and have already become its ambassadors.

"Dear friends, I'm truly delighted to see you here in Krasnoyarsk. I look at you and see familiar faces—we've met some of you at previous Olympiads. This is very nice. It means you enjoyed it. This means you've now become full-fledged ambassadors not only of the Olympiad, but also of the International Financial Security Movement. Good luck to you! And remember, the greatest victory is the victory over yourself. Team Russia, good luck!" he said.

Anatoly Seryshev, Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Siberian Federal District, welcomed the Olympiad participants and noted the significance and scale of the event. The Plenipotentiary Envoy is confident that new participants are constantly being drawn into the Olympiad, coming to see people with similar values and an equally passionate love for their homeland. He believes that finance is the most dynamically changing sector in human life. "The well-being of countries often depends on how their finances are managed," the Plenipotentiary Envoy added. "In a little while, you young people will have to solve problems on a different level."

"Dear students, we welcome you to the very heart of Russia, Krasnoyarsk! It's especially valuable that the first participants of the first Olympiads have now become strong specialists, mentors, and teachers. Your mission is crucial: you are learning to confront the challenges of the modern world. You must be faster, challenging the established norms with your intelligence, knowledge, and commitment to values. I am confident that together we can overcome this. Farewell, and may you all win!" said Mikhail Kotyukov.

In addition, Dmitry Chernyshenko, Yuri Chikhanchin, Anatoly Seryshev, and Mikhail Kotyukov took part in a meeting titled "Conversations about Important Things" with schoolchildren participating in the Olympiad.

The discussion was moderated by Marina Shemyakina, head of the Center for Inter-Olympiad Training of Schoolchildren and Students at the Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

The speakers answered questions about the development of modern technology and artificial intelligence, shared advice on how to become true professionals in their field, how to find your calling, and also shared their opinions on the qualities that are important for young professionals today.

Dmitry Chernyshenko emphasized that the Government is fulfilling the instructions of the President and the Prime Minister to ensure that at least 5% of science spending is directed toward artificial intelligence development.

"Last year, the President instructed us to hold international foresight sessions on the future of AI science. Scientists with the highest citation rates are updating a list of scientific problems whose solutions are most crucial for the development of artificial intelligence. This list is being developed by the SAPFIR strategic agency and the International AI Alliance, which was joined by 14 countries in the presence of Vladimir Putin," he noted.

Dmitry Chernyshenko also answered the question about the key human quality that cannot be digitized and transferred to a machine: "Humans don't always act rationally. Self-sacrifice, compassion, love—these are things that can be simulated using AI, but they will never be real."

The government has updated the selection criteria for the third wave of particularly significant projects – IT solutions developed within industrial competence centers and aimed at replacing foreign software. Priority grant support will be given to projects with the greatest potential for replication. The government is paying special attention to platform solutions for industrial enterprises, as well as AI-based developments. This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko, who oversees the development of the domestic IT market, on the sidelines of the Innoprom. Belarus international industrial exhibition.

According to the approved procedure, applications will be evaluated based on 10 criteria, each with a specific weighting, during the selection of particularly significant projects. The most significant criteria, with the highest weighting, are the solution's potential for replication (demand from at least three organizations in one or more industries), projected revenue from sales (at least 110% of the grant amount within three years after development completion), and the feasibility of using the solution at critical infrastructure facilities. Furthermore, a new prioritization criterion is being introduced during the third round of selection: the use of artificial intelligence technology in the solution being developed.

"Three years have passed since the launch of the first selection of particularly significant projects. During this time, we've identified growth opportunities and refined the mechanism to make it even more effective. Specifically, we decided to focus on thoroughly assessing the project's replicability during the preliminary review stage. If a solution has high sales and revenue projections, this is an indicator that it is truly in demand by many companies in the market and will be widely adopted. The government prioritizes supporting projects that are essential to the market," noted Dmitry Grigorenko.

Furthermore, the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that platform-based IT solutions for manufacturing (for example, PLM systems for managing the product lifecycle from design to production) and automated design systems will also benefit. He noted that the development of indigenous Russian IT solutions for manufacturing processes is essential to ensuring the technological independence of the domestic industry.

A total of 8.3 billion rubles will be allocated to support particularly significant projects during the third wave. The Russian Foundation for Information Technology Development will award grants ranging from 100 million to 2 billion rubles, covering up to 50% of the solution development costs. Applications will be accepted until October 26.

Document

Order No. 2658-r of September 26, 2025

The draft federal budget for 2026 and the planning period of 2027 and 2028 has been submitted to the State Duma for consideration. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed the order introducing it.

The key priorities of the main financial document are the achievement of national goals defined by the President, the fulfillment of social obligations to citizens, ensuring the country's defense and security needs, taking into account existing challenges, and the implementation of national projects.

The sustainability and balance of the draft budget proposed by the Government is an important factor for maintaining macroeconomic stability, increasing real wages, and increasing household incomes.

The draft budget is based on the baseline socioeconomic development forecast. It projects GDP growth of 1.3% in 2026 and an increase of almost 7% over three years, reaching approximately 276 trillion rubles in nominal terms.

Revenues in 2026 will amount to 40.3 trillion rubles, in 2027 – 42.9 trillion rubles, in 2028 – 45.9 trillion rubles.

Federal budget expenditures in 2026 are planned at 44.1 trillion rubles, in 2027 – 46 trillion rubles, and in 2028 – 49.4 trillion rubles.

The most important area of the budget is funding measures to improve demographics.

Thus, the "children's budget" for three years will exceed 10 trillion rubles. These funds will be used, among other things, to pay a unified child benefit to needy families, continue the maternity capital program with indexation to the inflation rate, improve housing for families with children by subsidizing the interest rate on family mortgages, and provide an annual family payment in the form of a partial reimbursement of personal income tax paid to citizens with two or more children—this payment will begin in 2026.

Other socially significant areas are also taken into account in the draft budget.

Specifically, to implement the national "Family" project, the new budget includes funds for the development of children's healthcare facilities, the infrastructure of perinatal centers, children's hospitals, and maternity hospitals. More than 94 billion rubles will be allocated for this purpose.

Funds are also allocated for the modernization and construction of schools and kindergartens: approximately 110 billion rubles will finance the construction of 150 schools to be built by 2030, and almost 300 billion rubles will be allocated for major school renovations.

The new three-year budget allocates over 900 billion rubles to implement the "Long and Active Life" national project. This includes funding for medications, including assistance to children with severe illnesses through the Circle of Kindness foundation, cardiovascular disease prevention, and the implementation of the 14-Nosology Program, which provides expensive medications to people suffering from severe illnesses.

The draft budget also takes into account the objective of ensuring technological leadership set for the Government by the President. Approximately 1.9 trillion rubles have been allocated to finance national projects aimed at achieving this goal.

Significant allocations are planned for infrastructure development.

The volume of funding for road infrastructure will exceed the level of previous years – 4.6 trillion rubles have been allocated for these purposes over three years.

The implementation of programs for creating a modern urban environment and the state program "Integrated Development of Rural Areas" will continue. Funding for these programs will amount to over 105 billion rubles and over 180 billion rubles, respectively, over three years.

Funding will be provided for the public utility infrastructure modernization program. 182.3 billion rubles are allocated over three years. Over 160 billion rubles are planned for the elimination of dilapidated housing over three years.

The new three-year budget allocates 202.6 billion rubles for the development of the airfield support network. At least 75 airfields will be reconstructed and built by 2030.

The main financial document takes into account measures aimed at maintaining the stability of regional budgets, stimulating infrastructure development, and ensuring the effective participation of regions in the implementation of national development goals.

The draft budget also provides financial support for the further implementation of individual development programs for a number of regions to increase their economic potential.

Draft budgets for extra-budgetary funds and a number of other documents of decisive importance for public finances have also been submitted to the State Duma.

The budget package, as in the previous year, was submitted to the lower house of parliament entirely electronically, a result of efforts to improve interaction between the Government Office and the State Duma.
