Moscow is the largest center for the development of creative industries in the country. Cinema, music, video games, publishing, design, theater and advertising not only make the lives of city residents brighter, but have also established themselves as the most important sector of the capital's economy. Its share in the total volume of gross regional product in 2023 reached 10.1 percent, which is 3.3 trillion rubles. Sergei Sobyanin spoke about the development of creative industries in his blog.

"Over the past five years, the number of organizations and individual entrepreneurs in this area has grown by 11.7 percent and has already exceeded 113 thousand. Accordingly, more and more Muscovites find themselves in creative professions. The revenue of companies is also growing steadily: last year, the creative industries sector earned 103.8 percent more than in 2019 — 6.7 trillion rubles," the Moscow Mayor wrote.

Movie

Despite sanctions and other challenges of recent years, the capital's film industry is on the rise. More than 80 percent of Russian films and TV series are shot in Moscow.

Last year, about 120 projects were filmed on the sites of the Moscow film cluster, which is 2.5 times more than in 2023. Among them are the leaders of the distribution and film platforms of 2024-2025: "Not on the Lists", "Kholop-2", "The Master and Margarita", "Led-3", "Baba Yaga Saves the New Year", "The Last Knight. Legacy", "One Hundred Years Ago", "The Flying Ship", "The Word of a Boy. Blood on the Asphalt" and others.

The Moscow Film Cluster, created on the initiative of the Moscow Government, currently unites several sites. Among them is the legendary Gorky Film Studio, where large-scale work on modernizing the historical territory on Sergei Eisenstein Street and the site in Valdaisky Proyezd will be completed by the end of the year. The modern full-cycle film factory Moskino on Ryazansky Prospekt has also become part of the film cluster. In addition, a super-modern complex has been created – the Moskino film park in TiNAO. Its construction is ongoing, now there are 24 natural sites in the film park, and by 2030 there will be 70. Any ideas of film crews can be realized here.

In addition, the cluster includes a film platform. "Moschino"— a convenient service for professionals, where in a couple of clicks you can rent a location for filming not only at a film studio, but also in the city, as well as learn about grants, rent costumes, props and much more. Over the past year, the platform has been used 1.7 million times.

In the new season of the project "Summer in Moscow" Anyone can get to know the films, the process of their creation, and learn more about the history of cinema. Guests are invited to the Moskino Cinema Park, the Gorky Film Studio, and many themed areas on the capital's boulevards.

The Moskino cinema park organizes exciting events for city residents and guests of the capital as part of the Cinema Weekend project. These are dozens of master classes, staged filming based on favorite Soviet and Russian films, creative evenings and lectures by film industry professionals, performances by musicians, plays and film screenings in the cinema of the same name.

During tours of the oldest Gorky Film Studio, you can see authentic 20th century film cameras, more than 100 rare photographs from film sets, stills from your favorite films, unique costumes and props.

IT and video games

There are over 33,000 organizations involved in the capital's IT and video game industry. Their total annual revenue last year exceeded 3.9 trillion rubles.

"The industry is developing rapidly. And as usually happens, in such periods the main problem is a huge shortage of personnel. In one of the previous posts I already said that Moscow colleges offer new

specialties, including a developer of computer games, augmented and virtual reality. At the same time, we provide support to professionals. The Agency for Creative Industries implemented 125 projects in 2024, including the accelerator for indie developers “Video Game Factory,” said Sergei Sobyanin.

"Video Game Factory" provides full support for developers – from the idea to finding investors. The accelerator holds educational lectures and webinars, Q&A sessions, and works with curators. Currently, 60 pilot versions of games in different genres have been created. Among them are a detective story based on the works of Mikhail Bulgakov, an adventure quest based on the fairy tales of Alexander Pushkin, and a puzzle in the interiors of a spaceship.

Moscow game developers have long needed their own space, so in 2025, the first video game and animation cluster in Russia will open in the Skolkovo Innovation Center. Its residents will be leading Russian development companies and animation studios. Uniting under one roof, they will be able to create video games of any type and complexity. The cluster will unite all stages of content production and promotion – from training specialists to support in promotion in foreign markets.

Residents will have access to offices, meeting rooms, server rooms, a motion capture studio, a space for sound recording, a lecture hall, a conference hall, an exhibition area and much more.

Publishing

There are about 12 thousand organizations engaged in publishing activities in Moscow – this is 10.6 percent of all companies in the creative industries. Total revenue last year amounted to about 349.1 billion rubles.

This industry also does not remain without city support. The Agency for Creative Industries is implementing the project "Publishing Seasons": at the largest International Fair of Intellectual Literature Non/fiction, Moscow publishers and illustrators can present their products free of charge.

Last year, the Moscow International Publishing Week was held for the first time in the capital. Over the course of four days, more than 45 publishers from 13 countries took part in it – Argentina, Brazil, China, Serbia and others. During this time, over 200 meetings of representatives of the book market took place, 34 export contracts were concluded for the publication of books with a total circulation of 55 thousand copies.

Since 2023, under the auspices of the Moscow Agency for Creative Industries, a business mission of Moscow publishing houses to China has been carried out annually at the Shanghai International Children's Book Fair.

Residential development in Moscow, especially given the architectural diversity of the central districts, is conventionally divided into two types: standard buildings and houses built according to individual projects. At the same time, unique architectural solutions are not only pre-revolutionary Art Nouveau or Soviet neoclassicism. Later and modern residential buildings were also often built according to individual projects. This year, specialists from the Moscow City Services Complex will overhaul more than 1,100 such houses.

One of these buildings is located in Veskovsky Lane (house 4). It was built in 1901 in the eclectic style. The facades have decorative elements, and neighboring houses adjoin the ends. The first floor is separated from the upper part by a profiled cornice. There is a crowning cornice along the perimeter of the building. The building is also crowned with pinnacles.

The façade, roof and entrances are currently being restored. The Moscow Capital Repairs Fund has developed an individual project for this building, which involves the use of modern domestic materials and technologies.

The work began with cleaning the facade, treating the wet areas with antifungal compounds and restoring the brickwork. Then the builders will return the walls to their original peach cream color. The sandriks and pilasters will be painted signal white.

The balconies will be put in order, the ebbs and slopes will be replaced. The entrances and basement will be repaired, a new external drainage system will be hung on the building. The walls and ceilings in the entrances will be painted and plastered, and the roof covering and lathing will be replaced on the roof. For a comfortable microclimate, mineral wool slabs will be installed, and all wooden structures will be treated with a fire-retardant composition. A new electrical network has already been laid in the building.

The work will be carried out in an 11-story residential building on Narodnogo Opolcheniya Street (building 54). It was built according to an individual project in 1968. Specialists are putting the facade, roof, and engineering systems in order.

The repair of the brick façade began with washing the exposed surfaces from accumulated dirt. Then the craftsmen restored the damaged areas of the brickwork and filled the weathered seams with a special compound. Wet areas were treated with antiseptic solutions. At the next stage, the walls will be covered with an invisible protective film that can withstand temperature changes.

The entrances and basement will be put in order, the slopes will be repaired and modern double-glazed windows will be installed in common areas. The roofing will be replaced on the roof of the building. The builders will also update the power supply system, water mains, central heating risers, cold and hot water supply.

This year, a panel building erected in Odoevskogo Passage (house 7, block 7) according to an individual project in 1996 will be put in order. Work in the 24-story building will be carried out using façade electric cradles. In order to minimize inconvenience for residents, the work was divided into several stages.

First, the builders thoroughly washed the panels and cleared the interpanel seams from the old filling. The next stage will involve treating wet areas and insulating the interpanel seams, after which it will be time for sealing. The facade will be painted in shades of "pale sienna", "rust" and "signal white".

At the final stage, the builders will replace the balcony screens and floor covering, install modern window units in common areas, repair the basement, and also install a new asphalt concrete blind area.

The Moscow City Services Complex noted that the regional housing stock capital repair program being implemented in the capital is in line with the goals and objectives of the national project "Infrastructure for life".
