Gazprom-Media Holding employees participated in a charity event at the Russian State Children's Library (RSCL) as part of their corporate volunteer program. After a fascinating tour of the library's historic building, the volunteers immersed themselves in the world of book restoration. Under the guidance of experienced restorers, they mastered careful restoration techniques: from gluing torn pages to reinforcing covers. Working with rare editions, including books dating back to 1830, which require exceptional skill and meticulous care, was particularly thrilling. Gazprom-Media Holding places great emphasis on corporate social responsibility and the development of the volunteer movement. Participating in the restoration of the book collection of the country's leading children's library is an investment not only in preserving knowledge but also in creating a future where new generations will have access to time-tested sources of wisdom and inspiration. The event was part of the Holding's corporate social responsibility program, "PRO_Uchastie," and was supported by the Mosvolonter resource center.

The holding and the Mosvolonter resource center signed a cooperation agreement in 2023. The partnership helped expand the scale and effectiveness of volunteer projects, including environmental campaigns, educational programs, and support for social institutions. Support for volunteerism and socially significant projects is an integral part of Gazprom-Media Holding's corporate social policy.

Beijing, February 3 (Xinhua) — As the traditional Chinese Spring Festival (Chinese Spring Festival, or Lunar New Year) approaches, trucks loaded with frozen aquatic products imported from Russia are leaving the border trade zone of Tongjiang City for inland China. This is a striking illustration of the revitalization of trade between residents of the border areas of this city, which borders the Jewish Autonomous Region of Russia across the Heilongjiang (Amur) River.

According to customs data, last year's trade volume between residents of border areas in Tongjiang City (Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China) reached 927.95 tons, or 9.78 million yuan (approximately $1.41 million) in value. Both figures jumped 285.8 percent and 258.6 percent year-on-year, respectively, and reached new historical highs, the online news portal chinanews.com.cn reported, noting that Tongjiang's border trade has become a powerful driver of regional economic development.

The successes achieved are due to a number of effective measures. In particular, under the leadership of the local customs service in Tongjiang, a cooperative was established. This synergized the efforts of border residents involved in cross-border trade to organize the import of packaged food products and aquatic products from Russia. This significantly improved the efficiency of customs clearance and increased the income of local importers.

The Customs Service, for its part, is actively implementing an innovative model for monitoring border trade using digital technologies to optimize customs procedures, while also implementing a highly efficient "brought and inspected, inspected and cleared" approach for imported goods. At the same time, the list of goods permitted for import has been expanded from the initial list of frozen aquatic products and flour to seven items, including honey, baked goods, and salted aquatic products.

"Border trade, on the one hand, is linked to the state strategy of expanding external opening-up, and on the other, it is related to increasing the income of local residents. This defines our mission as both reliable guardians of the state gate and conscientious assistants to local merchants," summarized Wang Yubo, head of the Border Trade Supervision Department at Tongjiang Customs. -0-
