The capital continues to strengthen its position as one of the main centers of automobile manufacturing in Russia. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry Maxim Liksutov.

"On the instructions of Sergei Sobyanin, the city provides comprehensive support to the automotive industry. For the dynamic development of the industry, the capital offers a set of effective support tools, thanks to which companies increase production capacity and expand their product range. Thus, from January to June 2025, the production of motor vehicles in Moscow increased by 60.7 percent compared to the same period last year," said Maxim Liksutov.

The overall growth in production of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers in the first half of 2025 was 5.2 percent compared to the same period in 2024.

"Today, there are about 30 manufacturers of cars, trailers and semi-trailers, electric vehicles and components, including engines and batteries, operating in Moscow. In particular, the capital is becoming one of the centers for the development of electric vehicle manufacturing in the country: more than 20 residents of the Technopolis Moscow special economic zone are already engaged in innovative projects in this area," noted the Minister of the Moscow Government, head of the capital's Department of Investment and Industrial Policy

Anatoly Garbuzov.

One of the capital's companies, Global Terranica, specializes in new-generation tracked all-terrain vehicles designed for use in difficult climatic and landscape conditions. The innovative development is the Terranica Expedition all-terrain vehicle, created in collaboration with the Moscow Polytechnic University and the Cardi body shop. The vehicle is equipped with a hybrid power plant, has a range of more than 1,000 kilometers and a spacious luggage compartment with a volume of 800 liters. The all-terrain vehicle with a transformable interior is currently undergoing pre-production testing, and the start of mass production is planned for 2026-2027.

For over a century, the Central Scientific Research Automobile and Automotive Engine Institute (NAMI) has been the core of engineering thought and development of transport equipment in Moscow. The full cycle of vehicle design is carried out here — from the idea and engineering calculations to certification and serial production. The enterprise produces cars, motorcycles, and key components. Thanks to its powerful laboratory base, the institute carries out digital and full-scale tests, creates design projects, and conducts scientific examinations.

One of the examples of NAMI's latest innovations is the Aurus Merlon electric motorcycle, named after the Kremlin wall's battlement. In 2024, the model won the national award for "Best Industrial Design" both according to experts and by popular vote.

The NSU Graduates Congress was held at the university

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Last weekend, the annual NSU Alumni Congress was held at Novosibirsk State University. Its program was opened by the general meeting of the NSU Union Alumni Association, which took place in the famous Maltsevskaya Auditorium. The participants summed up the results of the year, discussed plans for the future, and elected a new composition of the governing bodies.

Among the most significant results was the active participation of the Union in events dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of the last president of the USSR Academy of Sciences Gury Marchuk and the outstanding historian, honorary professor of NSU Varlen Soskin. And also – the charity event "Thank you for teaching" (targeted congratulations to non-working teachers and employees of NSU), which has already become a traditional part of the association's work.

The new president of the NSU Union is Pavel Fedorov, managing partner of the Scientific Equipment Group of Companies and a 2008 graduate of the NSU Faculty of Economics.

— I have divided all the upcoming activities into three areas, which I plan to implement in the next two years. Firstly, to increase interest among graduates and increase their involvement in the work of the NSU Union. Secondly, to create a comfortable environment not only for current members of the Association and associate members, but also to attract new people wishing to join the union. And, of course, to pay special attention to working with students, because they are our future, — Pavel Fedorov shared his work plans.

One of the forms of work of the Union with students is the Mentoring program, launched in 2021. By participating in this project, students get the opportunity to think about the future in advance, begin to adapt to the labor market and prepare for their further career path. And graduate mentors pass on their experience and secret knowledge of "adult" life, take an active part in the development of students, are inspired by new fresh ideas and get new employees to their team.

Over the past years, this program has accumulated useful experience, which mentors shared during a special round table that continued the Congress program. Its participants discussed how best to "recruit" mentors, whether it is necessary to involve those who live outside of Russia in this work, whether feedback channels are needed, etc.

The next round table within the framework of the Alumni Congress was devoted to the phenomenon of student clubs at NSU faculties, such as "The Office of the Divanov Brothers", "Quantum", "Maximin", etc. Its participants talked about why these clubs have been successfully operating for decades, how students receive additional competencies in them, which can subsequently radically change their entire life trajectory.

The Congress traditionally ended with a popular science part. Rector of NSU, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Mikhail Fedoruk spoke about what the university is today, briefly summed up the results of the admission campaign, drawing attention to the increase in the number of applications from applicants, the expansion of the geography of those admitted, and the growing popularity of engineering and IT areas. He also congratulated on the opening of a new building of flow auditoriums, which took place on August 29 with the participation of Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko. He spoke in a little more detail about the federal development programs in which NSU participates, and about the new grants that the university has recently won, in particular, the university became one of the winners of the national competition for the creation of university startup studios.

The topic of the lecture by Dmitry Zharkov, Head of the Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology of the Faculty of Natural Sciences of NSU, was "Why are we still alive, or how a cell repairs its genome." Then, Mikhail Lavrentyev, Dean of the Faculty of Information Technology of NSU, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, gave a lecture "M.A. Lavrentyev – Contribution to the Victory and Development of the Country." The popular science part was concluded by Petr Marchuk, Member of the Board of the Alumni Association "NSU Union", who presented a report dedicated to the 100th anniversary of G.I. Marchuk.

Rosneft reconstructed the central district library in Bashkortostan

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

With the support of Bashneft (part of Rosneft), a central district library was opened in the village of Verkhnie Tatyshly, the administrative center of the Tatyshlinsky District of the Republic of Bashkortostan. The large-scale reconstruction of the library was carried out at the company's expense as part of the Cooperation Agreement between Rosneft and the region.

Rosneft actively supports initiatives aimed at creating favorable living conditions, developing culture and education in the regions where it operates.

The Verkhnetatyshlinskaya library underwent a major overhaul of the façade, updated the heating, electrical and water supply systems, and finished the premises. The library now has modern public spaces: a multifunctional hall and a conference hall, a "Literary Relaxation Room", a creative workshop, a "BibliOtdykha" zone and a phytobar. The library collection exceeds 30 thousand units. Along with traditional printed publications, there are books with augmented reality, as well as books for blind and visually impaired people, typed in Braille.

Library visitors will be able to use free wireless Internet and computers. Various digital equipment has been installed for them: an interactive touch kiosk, an interactive floor, table and sandbox, as well as a virtual reality complex. An animation studio equipped with specialized television and sound equipment has begun operating.

Particular attention is paid to creating an accessible barrier-free environment: a ramp and a tactile mnemonic diagram of the premises are installed at the entrance, tactile tiles and signs are laid. Hard-of-hearing visitors can use a portable induction system to communicate with employees.

Before the reconstruction, the two-story library building, built in the 80s of the last century, did not meet sanitary, hygienic and ergonomic requirements. Now it is a modern cultural and educational center, which is regularly visited by more than 5 thousand people. The premises are equipped with modern climate control equipment, fire and security alarms, as well as a video surveillance system.

A significant amount of work has been completed to improve the territory: a monument to the people's poet of the Republic of Bashkortostan, Tatar and Bashkir poet and playwright, native of the Tatyshlinsky district Angam Atnabaev was erected, benches were placed and flower beds were laid out.

Over the past five years, Bashneft has built and reconstructed more than 50 cultural institutions in Bashkortostan. The largest of them are: the community center in the village of Askino in the Askinsky District, the socio-cultural center in the village of Kamenka in the Bizhbulyaksky District, the historical and cultural center in the Mishkinsky District, and the multifunctional rural community center in the village of Karayar in the Karaidelsky District.

Reference:

ANK Bashneft is one of the oldest enterprises in the country's oil and gas industry, operating in the extraction and processing of oil and gas. The company's key assets are located in the Republic of Bashkortostan. Oil and gas exploration and production are also carried out in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug – Yugra, Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Orenburg Region, Perm Krai and the Republic of Tatarstan.

Exclusive: China's Global Governance Initiative Will Find Broad Support Around the World — Kyrgyz Political Scientist

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: People's Republic of China in Russian – People's Republic of China in Russian –

Source: People's Republic of China – State Council News

BISHKEK, Sept. 2 (Xinhua) — The Global Governance Initiative put forward by China will be attractive to many countries and will find broad support from the international community, Kyrgyz political scientist and professor of international relations at Ala-Too International University Kubanychbek Taabaldiev said in an interview with Xinhua.

At the SCO Plus meeting held in the Chinese city of Tianjin on Monday, Chinese President Xi Jinping put forward a Global Governance Initiative based on five principles: ensuring sovereign equality, upholding international law, implementing multilateralism, pursuing a people-centered approach, and being action-oriented.

“China’s global governance initiative will be attractive to many countries in the world,” said K. Taabaldiev, adding that the acute problem of the lack of real democracy in international relations “like a magnet attracts the states of the Global South and developing countries to new and more attractive initiatives.” This is especially true for countries that have suffered from economic expansion.

“China’s initiative for a new world order with fair governance will certainly find support among most countries in the world,” he confirmed.

The essence of the new Initiative is to respond more effectively to the common challenges of humanity, reduce the development gap between the North and the South and protect the common interests of all countries of the world.

“China’s initiatives to reduce the gap between North and South are of current importance,” the Kyrgyz political scientist believes. In his opinion, China, as a country that has managed to lift hundreds of millions of people out of poverty, can become a driver in solving this global problem.

"One of the goals of the Belt and Road initiative is to assist countries in accelerating economic development by building the appropriate infrastructure. This task is being successfully implemented in Central Asia," said K. Taabaldiev, noting that China is seeking to use the capabilities of the SCO and other multilateral mechanisms to advance the solution of these problems.

“Such approaches indicate China’s readiness to provide every possible assistance to poor and developing countries in implementing projects that help bridge the gap between poor and rich countries, especially between the North and the South,” he stressed.

At the SCO summit in Tianjin, the Chinese side proposed to provide SCO countries with gratuitous aid and loans, and also expressed its readiness to implement “100 small but wonderful” projects to improve the living standards of the population in the organization’s member states in need.

“This is a significant and practical contribution by China to solving poverty problems at the global level,” said K. Taabaldiev.

At the recent “SCO Plus” meeting, the Chinese side pointed out the need to resist hegemony and power politics, calling on the SCO to become a pillar in promoting a multipolar world and democratizing international relations. As the Kyrgyz political scientist noted, the initiative put forward by China touched upon a pressing issue in international politics.

"The confrontation in the world is intensifying, there are attempts to restore the lost positions of Western countries, there is an erosion of values," he said, noting that the attempt at economic dominance of individual countries is intensifying. The introduction of sanctions, including economic and political ones, is already affecting the world order and causing discontent, and in some cases, opposition.

"From this point of view, China's position to resist such aspirations can become a symbolic call. Few in the world can object to this initiative, especially the SCO countries, since a multipolar world and multilateralism are becoming an attractive alternative to the previous world order," the expert concluded, adding that China is becoming a support for countries striving for a new, more just world. –0–

From the ‘Shanghai Spirit’ to the ‘Tianjin Declaration’: How the SCO Strengthens Multilateralism in Global Governance

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: People's Republic of China in Russian – People's Republic of China in Russian –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Source: People's Republic of China – State Council News

Under the motto "Promoting the Shanghai Spirit: SCO in Action", the 25th anniversary SCO summit was held in Tianjin from August 31 to September 1. More than twenty heads of state and ten leaders of international organizations gathered here to outline the contours of the future world order. Under the leadership of PRC Chairman Xi Jinping, at the meeting of the Council of Heads of SCO Member States and the "SCO" format, the participants delivered policy speeches that determined the vector of the organization's further development.

In an era of global challenges that require consolidation of efforts, Tianjin has become a platform for the formation of a new harmony in international relations. The SCO summit is not just a protocol meeting of leaders, but a catalyst in which the "Shanghai Spirit" is organically intertwined with the "Tianjin Declaration", forming the foundation of tomorrow's global governance.

Founded in 2001 in response to the changing geopolitical and economic realities of Eurasia, the SCO has demonstrated an impressive evolution: from the philosophical concept of the “Shanghai Spirit” to specific, actionable agreements such as the “Tianjin Declaration.” This is clear evidence of the unwavering commitment of member countries to activating multilateral global governance, finding adequate responses to the challenges of the 21st century, and strengthening relevant mechanisms.

In the context of growing geopolitical turbulence, the SCO offers the world an alternative approach to global governance based on the immutable principles of multilateralism, mutual respect and indivisible security. The organization consistently strives to create a space permeated with an atmosphere of trust and fruitful cooperation, where differences in political systems and ideological doctrines do not become an insurmountable obstacle to achieving common goals.

The "Shanghai Spirit", which embodies multifaceted cooperation, trust and mutual benefit, became the fertile ground on which the SCO grew and strengthened. At the dawn of its existence, the organization focused its efforts on ensuring security and combating the global threats of terrorism, extremism and separatism. Emphasizing the exceptional importance of constructive interaction and open dialogue between states, the SCO made an invaluable contribution to the formation and development of multilateral global governance.

The Tianjin Declaration is not just another document, it is a major strategic step that determines the future of the SCO and the multipolar world, providing a powerful platform for deepening economic cooperation and implementing large-scale joint projects in the field of infrastructure development, expanding trade and introducing advanced technologies.

The Shanghai Spirit and the Tianjin Declaration clearly demonstrate the impressive evolution of the SCO’s approaches to multilateral global governance. By consistently applying the principles of cooperation, constructive dialogue and mutually beneficial relations, the SCO makes a significant contribution to the creation of a secure and stable world, relying on multilateral mechanisms and principles relevant to today’s complex global political dynamics. The Organization formulates a strategic vision for the sustainable development of its members and builds a model of international relations based on mutual respect, comprehensive cooperation and joint efforts in the global arena.

The SCO is steadily strengthening its position as an influential and authoritative international organization, ready to play a key role in shaping the future world order. The organization is open to further expansion of fruitful cooperation with all states and international organizations that share its principles and values. In an era of global change, the SCO offers the world a path to a more just, sustainable and secure future based on the immutable principles of multilateralism and mutual respect.

In today's geopolitics, where multipolarity demands unity and dialogue, the SCO is becoming a key player. Its beating heart is the "Shanghai Spirit", embodying respect, equality and trust.

The SCO demonstrates unwavering readiness to adapt and innovate in a rapidly changing world. The Tianjin Declaration is a clear roadmap aimed at strengthening regional security and ensuring economic prosperity, based on the unshakable principles of the Shanghai Spirit. The organization consistently advocates for peaceful resolution of conflicts and unconditional respect for international law, offering the world a reasonable and effective alternative to unilateral approaches and forceful pressure.

The implementation of the Tianjin Declaration will require close coordination and intense joint efforts from the SCO member states. It is vital to ensure effective interaction between government bodies, business circles and civil society structures. The SCO can become a unique platform for open and constructive dialogue aimed at finding common solutions and strengthening mutual trust.

The Tianjin Declaration represents an important step towards building a more just and sustainable world order. Based on the time-tested principles of the Shanghai Spirit and taking into account new challenges and threats, the SCO demonstrates its firm readiness to play an active role in addressing global issues and ensuring regional stability. The Organization offers a reasonable path to cooperation and mutual understanding based on respect for the sovereignty and national interests of all states.
