From March 23, 2026, Moscow Exchange will unify the calculation of the “Change to Close” indicator and the filling of the “Previous Close” field for all indices and iNAV.

The "Change to Close" indicator for iNAV will be calculated as a percentage change relative to the indicator's value at the close of the previous primary session, and the "Previous Close" field will contain the close of the previous primary session, excluding any additional sessions. A similar approach is already in place for stock market indices. This change will ensure data consistency and transparency for all market participants.

In the Moscow Exchange Information and Statistical Server (ISS), the specified indicators are available in the following fields:

Name Description
LASTVALUE The last index value of the previous main session
LASTCHANGE Change the current value to the value of the previous main session, points
LASTCHANGEPRC Change in the current value to the value of the previous main session, %
LASTCHANGEBP Change in current value to the value of the previous main session, basis points

A meeting of the organizing committee for the commemoration of People's Artist of the Russian Federation and State Duma Deputy Stanislav Govorukhin (1936–2018) was held at the Mosfilm Cinema Center under the leadership of State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin. The agenda included a discussion of the plan for preserving the legacy of the director and politician, timed to coincide with the 90th anniversary of his birth. Furthermore, the Mosfilm staff was awarded a Certificate of Honor for their significant contribution to the development of culture and art.

During the meeting, State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin, who, by decision of the Russian President, headed the organizing committee, noted that the plan is not tied solely to Stanislav Sergeyevich Govorukhin's birthday on March 29.

"We will do everything we can to lay the foundation upon which many will be able to become acquainted with Stanislav Sergeyevich Govorukhin's creative legacy, his reflections on life, and his principles," emphasized Vyacheslav Volodin. "This foundation is the program we discussed earlier; it was presented to our President last week. I want to inform you that Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has supported our proposals, and we can now implement them as a coordinated decision."

Vyacheslav Volodin also noted the phrase Stanislav Sergeyevich used to characterize his work: he considered himself, first and foremost, a citizen, “and art in this sense has always been viewed as an expression of his civic position.”

During the discussion, the Chairman of the State Duma proposed holding the first "Govorukhin Readings" at the VGIK Film Institute in April. During the meeting, members of the organizing committee also exchanged opinions. Russian Transport Minister Andrei Nikitin announced the ministry's prepared proposals for perpetuating the memory of Stanislav Govorukhin. According to him, materials about the life and work of the talented director will be published in industry publications covering air and rail transport. "We plan to show Stanislav Sergeyevich's feature films on board aircraft and long-distance trains," Nikitin added. Furthermore, the Minister noted that a civilian electric cruise ship will be named after Stanislav Govorukhin.

Russian Minister of Culture Olga Lyubimova announced that a gala evening in memory of Stanislav Govorukhin will be held at the Mosfilm Cinema and Concert Complex on the artist's birthday. "The concert program is practically complete: it will feature film clips from Stanislav Sergeyevich's works and musical numbers. And the most important part of the film for us all is the memories of colleagues and friends, leading Russian cultural figures," she noted.

According to her, before the concert, all guests will be treated to an exhibition at the Cinema Museum, which will feature a recreation of Stanislav Sergeyevich's office, posters for his films, costumes from the film "The Passenger," reproductions of paintings, and written notes from his personal archive.

Before the meeting, members of the organizing committee inspected the site on the studio grounds where a monument to Stanislav Govorukhin is planned. It will be a bronze sculpture on a pedestal, with one hand resting on a camera tripod—a symbolic element emphasizing Stanislav Sergeyevich's connection to cinema. The discussion of the sculpture's location sparked a lively debate among the meeting participants. Mosfilm director Karen Shakhnazarov proposed installing the monument on the alleyway near the main entrance to the Cinema Center. Sculptor and corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Arts Alexei Blagovestnov proposed a different option. "We have two locations. We need to find the optimal solution and choose it," emphasized Vyacheslav Volodin.

Symbolically, it was within the walls of the Cinema Center building—a state-of-the-art cinema complex with modern screening rooms and all the necessary infrastructure—that Vyacheslav Volodin presented Karen Shakhnazarov with the State Duma of the Russian Federation's Certificate of Honor for the film company's significant contribution to the development of Russian culture and art. The head of Mosfilm, in turn, thanked the State Duma Speaker and all the deputies of the lower house of the Russian parliament, noting that it was an immense honor for Mosfilm employees to receive such high recognition for their work.

The schedule of events commemorating the director's 90th birthday includes events both in Russia and abroad. A tourist boat and a city park will be named after the outstanding director and prominent politician. Thematic exhibitions, film screenings, and chess tournaments for children will be held in his honor.

Russian national teams consistently demonstrate high results in major international Olympiads in general education subjects. Over the past five years, schoolchildren have won 210 medals. The students' training and participation in intellectual competitions are organized as part of the national project "Youth and Children" with the support of the Ministry of Education.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Minister of Education Sergei Kravtsov provided detailed information.

"Over the past five years, Russian schoolchildren have won 210 medals at major international Olympiads: 161 gold, 45 silver, and 4 bronze. Last year was a record-breaking number of awards for our students. I congratulate everyone on their outstanding achievements! As President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin emphasized, we have created an entire system for selecting and working with talented students. The national project 'Youth and Children' makes a significant contribution to this through infrastructure improvements, Olympiads, and the development of supplementary education. I thank each medalist for giving the entire country these reasons for joy and pride, and I thank the parents, teachers, and mentors for their support, professionalism, and dedication," noted Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

Students traditionally represent the country with dignity in competitions in mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology, computer science, geography, astronomy, and the Junior Science Olympiad.

"Our students' success at prestigious international Olympiads is a natural result of their hard work and the professional support of their teachers. I am confident that our teams' achievements not only enhance the prestige of Russian education globally but also inspire a new generation of students to pursue a more in-depth study of various subjects. These students have an excellent opportunity to gain valuable experience and deep knowledge from their mentors. After all, our country boasts many talented teachers who impart modern and essential knowledge to children, inspire their interest in science, and shape a generation capable of building a successful future for our country," commented Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov.

The students received the greatest number of awards at major intellectual competitions in 2025. For example, they returned from the XXII International Junior Science Olympiad with nine medals.

Last year, schoolchildren won six medals each at the 66th International Mathematical Olympiad, the 4th Open International Astronomy Olympiad, and the Open International Geography Olympiad, and were also awarded five medals at the 55th International Physics Olympiad.

In addition, the students brought home 4 medals each from the 36th International Biology Olympiad, the 57th International Chemistry Olympiad, and the 37th International Olympiad in Informatics.

It's worth noting that the schoolchildren consistently demonstrate strong results in the astronomy competition. Over the past four years, the young people have returned from the Olympiad with six gold medals.

The Russian national teams are coached and mentored by professors from leading Russian universities. Along with their training, the athletes hone their skills, compete in various mid-term Olympiads, and attend training camps and orientation sessions.

The composition of the national teams and coaching staff is approved by the Russian Ministry of Education. It traditionally includes the best participants in the All-Russian School Olympiad.

Winners of international school Olympiads receive cash prizes, grants, university admissions benefits, and state recognition. Russia has established federal awards (up to 1 million rubles) and additional regional payments (for example, up to 1.5 million rubles in Moscow), as well as guaranteed admission to universities without exams in the Olympiad's subject area.

Teams of Russian schoolchildren continue to prepare for participation in major international Olympiads in general education subjects, the first of which will be held in June in Moscow – the Open International Geography Olympiad.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly emphasized in his speeches that national culture can develop and be enriched only through interaction with other cultures. Our country was initially shaped as a multinational nation, and it is this invaluable gift that has defined its unique cultural palette and its status as a truly great power in its art, science, and literature," emphasized Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President of Russia.

In 2025, the forum included official delegations from 50 countries and senior officials from six international organizations. Cultural figures and government officials participated in discussions on all major artistic fields: museums, theater, cinema, music, and media.

Traditionally, in an open dialogue format, representatives of the professional community, government agencies, and businesses will exchange experiences and discuss current issues of cultural and humanitarian cooperation. We invite everyone to join one of the most global cultural events," noted Minister of Culture Olga Lyubimova.

The St. Petersburg International Forum of United Cultures has been held since 2012. It has established itself as a platform for collaboration in culture and art, as well as for open and meaningful discussion of issues arising as the contemporary cultural environment develops.

Vitaly Saveliev: The first International Transport and Logistics Forum will open in St. Petersburg on April 1.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The business program for the International Transport and Logistics Forum, which will take place April 1–3, 2026, at the ExpoForum Convention and Exhibition Centre in St. Petersburg, has been published on the website. The event, held in Russia for the first time, will provide a new platform for global dialogue on the development of the global transport system in an era of geopolitical change. The MTLF's national agenda focuses on Russia's active participation and the promotion of its technological potential within existing large-scale logistics projects.

"Russia, with its unique geographic location, has historically been a key link in the global transportation system. We are consistently developing this potential and implementing projects that could shape global transportation patterns for decades to come. This includes developing international transport corridors passing through Russia, expanding the use of the Northern Sea Route, and our trunk infrastructure as a whole. I am confident that open professional dialogue, the exchange of best practices, and the development of coordinated solutions will be an important step toward strengthening mutually beneficial cooperation among the countries participating in the forum," emphasized Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev.

The business program includes over 40 discussions across three areas: "Logistics and Transport Industries," "Global Connectivity and Transport Corridors," and "Digitalization and the Future of Transport." The forum's central event will be a plenary session focusing on transport connectivity as the foundation of a new world order and its development within the framework of global competition and global security.

"Ensuring the global competitiveness of transport corridors is today one of the priority national goals set by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The old world order is becoming a thing of the past, and in its place, a new architecture of equal and indivisible security is emerging in Eurasia. In this coordinate system, transport is becoming a key element of this new space, and logistics is the primary tool for realizing national interests and integrating into the global markets of the future. I am confident that the forum will become a center for developing practical solutions and initiatives to ensure the seamlessness and security of transport routes, designed to lay the foundation for the long-term prosperity of the Eurasian continent," said Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President of Russia and Executive Secretary of the MTLF Organizing Committee.

The main events of the business program will include a plenary session, plenary sessions on key issues on the international transport agenda, expert discussions, roundtables, and meetings of relevant international organizations. Experts will focus on the development of transport, logistics, transport corridors, and digitalization. Participants will discuss the future of transport and its role in shaping the global economy and ensuring sustainable connections between regions and countries.

"Our country is becoming a platform for discussing global logistics development, offering global partners alternative transport corridors that are safer, more technologically advanced, and faster than traditional routes. Thanks to our accumulated experience, we are ready to become a key logistics bridge between East and West, North and South, offering reliable routes for cargo delivery. In this regard, the forum's program opens a series of relevant discussions on the joint development of international transport corridors through the integration of national infrastructures, the digitalization of multimodal transportation, and increased resilience of supply chains. The agreements reached as a result of this work will serve as the basis for subsequent agreements between states and decisions at the level of international organizations," noted Transport Minister Andrei Nikitin.

The forum is being held in accordance with the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation to ensure the global competitiveness of Russia's transport corridors, including the implementation of decrees within the framework of national goals up to 2030 and for the future up to 2036.
