The industrial park construction project continues in the Troitsky and Novomoskovsky administrative districts. It is being built as part of the city's program to stimulate the creation of employment opportunities. This was announced by the Moscow Government Minister and Head of the Moscow Department of Investment and Industrial Policy. Anatoly Garbuzov.

Earlier, Sergei Sobyanin, during his speech at a meeting of the Moscow City Duma, spoke aboutintegrated approach to the development of urban development. Specifically, he noted that it is virtually impossible to build a residential area in Moscow without a commitment to creating new jobs. The MPT program is the main instrument for regulating this process, thanks to which new industrial, social, and business facilities are emerging in the capital.

"The program to stimulate the creation of industrial parks plays a key role in the development of the capital's manufacturing ecosystem. For example, under this program, an industrial park is being built in the city in five phases, covering a total area of 77,000 square meters. The first two phases are already operational, and today, companies from various industries operate there—from LED screen and multimedia equipment manufacturers to heat exchangers, medical devices, and bearings. Once operational, over 2,800 new jobs will be created for residents of the capital," said Anatoly Garbuzov.

Work is currently underway on the site to install facades and roofing, utility systems, and landscaping.

The third phase will include two buildings with a total floor area of 22,000 square meters. The light industrial format allows for up to four functional spaces, such as production, warehouse, office, and showroom, to be housed in a single, self-contained unit, making it particularly convenient for small and medium-sized businesses.

Each stage of the construction of the industrial park is carried out under the supervision of the capital State Construction Supervision Committee.

"The committee issued permits for the commissioning of the first two stages at the end of 2024 and in the fall of 2025. Construction of the third stage is currently ongoing, and inspectors are conducting on-site inspections to ensure that the work being performed and the materials being used comply with the requirements of the design documentation and the approved architectural and urban planning plan," the agency chairman clarified.

One of the buildings in the third phase will be designated for food production, which will help meet the growing demand for real estate from companies in this industry.

The second building offers space starting from 4,800 square meters, suitable for medium-sized businesses planning expansion.

All units are equipped with their own dock or gate type loading areas.

An innovative multimedia equipment production facility will be built in the Senkino Industrial Park.

The industrial park is located on the first line of the Central Ring Road between the Kievskoye and Kaluga highways and is easily accessible from the A-107 highway. Public transportation is available nearby.

When landscaping the area, special attention was paid to creating a comfortable environment for employees: a recreation area and a sports ground were built, and an electric vehicle charging station is also available.

The program to stimulate the creation of employment opportunities has been implemented since 2020 and covers virtually all districts of the capital. Investors will construct over 270 facilities with a total area of 8.3 million square meters. These include new industrial facilities, office and shopping centers, educational, cultural, and sports institutions.

Over 2.8 trillion rubles will be invested in Moscow's development, creating approximately 360,000 jobs in virtually all sectors of the city's economy.

Purchasing messaging accounts, fake calls about replacing intercom codes, offers of guaranteed profits from trading—scams continue to evolve, but they still share the same basic signs that make them recognizable. Fraudsters use proven strategies, adapting them to new conditions.

They collect public information about a person, establish trusting relationships, create a plausible image of a government employee, impersonate friends or colleagues, and use databases of unused numbers that previous owners forgot to deactivate.

Project experts Call me back yourself They talked about new types of fraud that have been actively used recently.

"It's impossible to create a single tool that will provide 100 percent protection against all attackers. But knowing and following cybersecurity rules, as well as being vigilant, will help you recognize fraud early and protect your personal and payment information. As part of the "Call Back Yourself" project, we host in-person and online events where industry experts use real-life examples to analyze fraudulent tactics and deception scenarios. The lectures focus on the signs that will help you recognize a scammer, provide simple practical advice on protecting yourself and your loved ones, and share reliable tools and proven apps for additional protection. Recordings of our events have already been viewed over 1.8 million times, confirming the popularity of the format and the relevance of the project," said Valentina Shilina, head of the "Call Back Yourself" project in Moscow.

Department of Information Technology.

Fraudsters quickly react to changes in the news cycle. When new requirements or services emerge, or when the order of services or applications using new technologies changes, or when legislation is updated, or regulations or restrictions are introduced, they adapt their schemes, seeking to exploit the element of surprise. The period before standardization and widespread dissemination of information allows scammers to pose as experts, company representatives, or government agencies, exploiting the shift in the established order to their advantage.

Messenger accounts

This year, criminals began purchasing previously hacked or forgotten messaging accounts. They often use these accounts to send phishing links with requests and offers to the former owner's contact database. Clicking on these links and entering data can lead to fraudsters gaining access to users' bank cards. And if, for example, a phone number was previously used to administer channels or public pages, criminals can use it to publish promotional posts about quick money or stock purchases with phenomenal returns.

Experts recommend that users set up two-factor authentication for all messaging accounts. Those planning to change their phone number should first unlink it from all accounts—government and city service websites, banks, marketplaces, and messaging accounts. This will reduce the risk of a possible hack and the associated financial and reputational losses.

Keys to the intercom

This year, scammers have also revived an old scheme: posing as employees from the property management company, they call victims to change their intercom keys and trick them into providing the necessary information. To gain trust, they ask for numerous details—they record the date and time of delivery of the keys to the new door in the building, as well as the number of keys, and ask additional, misleading questions.

At the end of the conversation, the scammers claim that each apartment in the building will be assigned its own intercom code to ensure security. They then send a "unique combination for the resident" to the specified phone number and ask the user to dictate it so it can be recorded in the system. Confident in the legality of the procedure and reassured by the preliminary conversation, the user may let down their guard and provide the digital code. This results in the loss of access to accounts on various websites.

Experts remind users that the SMS code serves as a user authentication method, a kind of digital identity verification. Any requests to provide the SMS code or password or update any confidential information are highly likely a sign of fraud. In such a situation, it's best to suspend communication and double-check the information using the organization's official phone number listed on the company's website or in the app.

Investments and stock trading

In another scheme, scammers may pose as successful employers, invite candidates to interviews, and promise stock trading training and high income. They may also publish posts in hacked public channels, where an "expert consultant" offers effective stock investments and projects with guaranteed returns. Sometimes, the scammers even promote secret apps that offer lucrative earnings for completing very simple tasks.

As a result, trusted users lose their savings, access to their accounts when they install a malicious app, and are unable to withdraw their investments from the fictitious exchange. Furthermore, in some cases, victims, in a state of shock, become involved in the criminal network and recruit new participants in an attempt to recoup their losses. Fraudsters can be so convincing that some victims don't believe they're being deceived until the very end: "experts" promise them a quick breakthrough and guarantee that the investor will return everything many times over. As a result of such schemes, victims give away their savings, borrow significant sums from friends and acquaintances, sell real estate, and take out loans and microloans.

Experts advise against trusting strangers. If you lack experience and in-depth knowledge of finance and economics, it's essential to verify any information, research the organization, and do at least some basic research. Furthermore, before clicking links and entering personal information, it's important to research the resources and their content, as well as ensure the address is correct and secure.

The main recommendation is not to believe in miracles and grandiose promises, as brokerage cannot guarantee income, and the possibility of a multiple increase in the invested amount should immediately raise concern.

General recommendations

Most scammers' tactics follow a common pattern: they try to evoke strong emotions: joy, fear, or anxiety. For example, they might claim a lottery win, a friend's accident, or, posing as law enforcement officers, report a crime. They then ask for important information or send money, leaving no time to consider the situation. Without the opportunity to weigh the risks and seek advice from loved ones, the victim may make rash decisions and succumb to the scammer's pressure.

Fraudsters use manipulation and psychological pressure to gain access to personal data, passwords, and bank details, as well as control over app accounts. Therefore, it's always important to remember not to disclose or publicly publish passport information and photos, tax identification numbers (TIN), insurance numbers (SNILS), and other documents, or to share bank card details with strangers, or to share codes and passwords received via SMS.

In situations where scammers pretend to represent official organizations, remember that banks, institutions, mobile operators, and other reputable organizations typically don't send important notifications via messaging apps, don't call from unknown numbers, and don't rush decisions. You can get all the information you need in the official app, by calling the hotline, or by visiting an office.

If you receive a suspicious call, a message from an unfamiliar number, or an old friend unexpectedly asks you to vote for them in a contest, you can turn to a free AI-powered tool StopfakeThe service checks messages for signs of fraud and recognizes several types of information: text and voice messages, screenshots of conversations, and can also detect signs of synthesized speech (deepfake) in audio. Based on the results of the check, the bot assesses the likelihood of fraud and indicates which signals to pay attention to.

On December 26, 2020, the Main Archives of Moscow opened online access to family and clan history documents in the free "My Family" service. Since then, the service's collection has exceeded 13.5 million digitized pages. Researching the ancestry of many generations of residents of Moscow and the Moscow region is now possible from anywhere in the country, without leaving home. Simply use the "Archive Search" platform to find your roots in countless records from parish registers, confession records, and census records in minutes, using neural networks.

"The earliest materials in the online service date back to 1694 and cover information on all faiths. Since this year, family history data has become available to schoolchildren and their parents on the Moscow Electronic School educational platform. It features information not only for Moscow but also for 20 other regions of our country. The number of My Family users is growing every day, and today this platform is driving the implementation of artificial vision technology in genealogical research. This living spiritual heritage is not something to be proud of. It must be preserved, strengthened, and developed. Our goal is to transfer as many documents as possible online and open up as many sources as possible for studying family ties. But preserving the originals of these most valuable documents remains a crucial task. This is our shared duty to the present and future generations," said the head of the Moscow Main Archives Department.

Yaroslav Onopenko.

Today, users have access to data on Orthodox, Catholic, Lutheran, Muslim, Jewish, and Old Believer believers living in Moscow and the Moscow region. The service also provides access to information on Old Believers. The service also provides access to parish registers, census records, confessional records, and marriage records.

Despite the utmost care, all information media require restoration. The Moscow Main Archives' Preservation Laboratory restores over 110,000 sheets of priceless relics annually for their subsequent use in the interests of the city and the entire country. Handwritten materials that have not been spared by time are treated selectively. Each requires a special approach, and an individual restoration and conservation plan is developed for each.

Highly skilled art restorers give a second life to worn paper with creases, tears, and fading text, manually restoring each page. Their work not only recreates documents but also helps users discover unknown facts and chapters of their family history, and discover the names of their ancestors. This year, Glavarkhiv's partner, Yandex, joined the effort to preserve documentary heritage and restore historical materials used in their joint "Archive Search" project.
