Mikhail Mishustin and the heads of delegations participating in the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council meeting visited the Atom Museum in Moscow.

The Atom Museum is a one-of-a-kind museum dedicated to nuclear technologies of the past, present, and future, not only in Russia but worldwide. Just recently, in early November, it celebrated its second anniversary (it opened in November 2023).

The museum building is a showcase of architectural innovation. It blends seamlessly into the historic VDNKh complex. It has seven floors, three of which extend below ground level and are built into the bed of the underground Kamenka River. The building's architectural design is unusual: the three underground floors convey the depth of atomic processes, while the four aboveground floors, with their extensive glazing, create a sense of open space. The museum's total area is 25,000 square meters. The extended, floating roof, combined with the expansive glass facades, creates a sense of unity with the surrounding space.

Atom is one of the capital's most visited attractions. Over the past two years, it has welcomed over 3.5 million visitors from 80 countries. The museum's seven floors offer a fascinating journey through the history of the Soviet atomic project and the latest advances in science and the nuclear industry. The museum features interactive exhibitions, classes in a fully equipped laboratory, immersive tours, quests, and science experiments for the whole family.

The museum's foyer features an art object representing a model of a uranium atom—Earth's main energy source. The museum's narrative is built from the bottom up. The ground floor is dedicated to the past—the heroic creation of the USSR's nuclear shield. The floor above is dedicated to dreams, introducing visitors to the most unusual, and sometimes fantastical, projects that emerged when the peaceful use of nuclear energy began. And the first floor presents contemporary developments in the nuclear industry.

Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmytro Grigorenko instructed the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media and the Analytical Center under the Government to develop proposals for the creation of a digital platform for the development of data centers. It will integrate a set of services to support the entire data center lifecycle, from construction to commissioning. The platform will help simplify and accelerate the data center creation process and aggregate information on the computing capacity available in the country.

The platform is proposed to include services for selecting land plots and ordering inspections (for example, to check for encumbrances); information on available benefits, the availability of communication lines, the availability of electrical power, and other infrastructure. Furthermore, the creation of a marketplace for data center design and maintenance equipment and services for businesses is being discussed.

The creation of a unified digital platform will enable a transition from the construction of isolated, isolated data centers to the systematic development of a network by bringing together all stakeholders, from businesses to the government, on a single platform. Furthermore, the platform will serve as a single point of information collection on existing data centers, rental offers, needs for additional capacity, and the availability of infrastructure for their construction.

This new approach will accelerate the process of obtaining the necessary data for data center construction, make the process transparent, and reduce construction and commissioning time.

"One of our priorities is the implementation of artificial intelligence. However, this technology requires infrastructure and a sufficient number of data centers. The demand for computing power is rapidly growing. Our goal is to simplify and accelerate the creation of data centers. To this end, we are exploring the creation of a digital platform – a single platform where businesses can obtain accurate information about available sites, the availability of nearby infrastructure, and even order ready-made construction solutions and equipment. For businesses, this means convenient services that simplify the data center construction process. For the government, this means the opportunity to assess the data center market situation and determine the real need for new capacity," noted Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

According to the instruction, the Ministry of Digital Development and Communications and the Analytical Center under the Government must develop and submit proposals by March 2026. These proposals will be discussed with businesses to develop the most effective platform structure and identify the most in-demand services.
