Moscow, March 12 (Xinhua) — The global governance initiative, proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping in September 2025 at the "SCO Plus" meeting in Tianjin, northern China, is an important element of the international discussion on various aspects of shaping multipolarity in the world. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated this at a briefing on Thursday, responding to a question from a Xinhua correspondent.

"We consider this initiative an important element in the international discussion on various aspects of the formation of a multipolar world order. Like many other states, Russia views it as a more equitable foundation for world order, adapted to the changing global balance of power, in which the positions of non-Western states and international associations are strengthening," the Russian diplomat stated.

M. Zakharova recalled that Russian President Vladimir Putin had already given a positive assessment of this initiative during the SCO Plus meeting. "The Russian leader expressed words of support and indicated Russia's interest in a concrete discussion of our Chinese friends' proposal," she added.

The Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson assured that Russia and China intend to fully realize the potential of their bilateral relations to establish an equitable multipolar world and democratize international relations. "Our countries, as independent forces in the process of forming a multipolar world order, intend to fully realize the potential of their bilateral relations, protect the international system, with the UN at its center, and international relations built on the goals and principles of the UN Charter, promote the establishment of an equitable, orderly multipolar world and the democratization of international relations, and consolidate efforts aimed at creating a more just multipolar world," stated M. Zakharova.

She also emphasized that the convergence of Moscow and Beijing's fundamental approaches on key issues will contribute to strengthening practical coordination between the parties at various international venues, including the SCO and BRICS, as well as in the context of joint efforts to ensure stability in the Eurasian space based on the initiative put forward by the Russian President to create a new Eurasian security architecture. –0–

St. Petersburg, March 12 (Xinhua) — The Russian Northern Fleet's nuclear-powered submarine Kazan fired missiles at a simulated target in the Barents Sea, the Russian Defense Ministry reported on its website on Thursday.

The launch took place as part of routine combat training. The nuclear-powered icebreaker Kazan fired an Onyx cruise missile from a submerged position at a sea target located up to 300 km away.

The warhead of the Onyx missile successfully hit a naval target. Surface ships and naval aviation from the Russian Northern Fleet were deployed to support the launch and close the area.

The nuclear-powered missile submarine Kazan is a Project 885M Yasen-M vessel—a modified version of fourth-generation submarines with a reduced acoustic signature. The nuclear-powered submarine was launched on March 31, 2017, and commissioned into the Russian Navy on May 7, 2021.

Moscow, March 12 (Xinhua) — China will retain its status as the main buyer of Russian oil for a long time, and other Asian countries will increasingly open themselves up to Russian purchases. Alexey Maslov, Director of the Institute of Asian and African Countries at Moscow State University (IAACMSU), expressed this opinion in an interview with Xinhua.

“China will remain the main buyer of Russian oil for a long time, but other Asian countries will increasingly open up to Russian purchases,” he said.

According to A. Maslov, a very significant portion of oil exports goes to China. "Our oil pipeline is working well. I think it's already close to its maximum capacity. But we can expand both the flow rate and the pressure to handle more volume. Russia is ready to do this," the expert noted.

According to a Xinhua source, not only Russia, but also Kazakhstan, is ready to increase oil supplies to China.

Speaking about maritime security, he pointed to the problem of the arrest of vessels belonging to Russia's "shadow fleet." "I think it's important for Russia, China, and other countries to launch a joint initiative to protect the fleet, because this isn't a matter of money. It's a matter of industrial functioning. It's a matter of people's lives," the Russian expert emphasized.

Commenting on the disruption to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, through which 60 to 90 percent of goods shipped to Asia pass, A. Maslov called for the development of alternative energy supply routes. "The standard route has failed; it's under attack. Perhaps it makes sense to develop new routes," noted the director of the Institute of Asian and Asian Studies at Moscow State University.

In his opinion, the initiative to build new pipelines should come from the Asian countries themselves. "The initiative should come from China, India, and other countries. Building new pipelines, for example through Xinjiang or through the Far East near Manchuria, is a solution for many countries," the expert stated.

The risk of energy supply disruptions will not disappear and may recur, A. Maslov added. "Therefore, energy infrastructure must be absolutely secure," he concluded.

From St. Petersburg to Moscow: 108 years since Moscow once again became the capital of Russia

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On March 12, 1918, Moscow was restored to its status as the capital of Russia. Prior to this, for just over two centuries, St. Petersburg had been considered the country's main city.

Moscow is the capital of Rus'

Moscow first officially received the status of the main city of the Russian state at the end of the 15th century, after the Moscow princes completed the unification of the Russian lands around their principality.

A key role in this was played by Prince Ivan Kalita, who received the right to collect tribute from the Horde on Russian lands and directed these funds towards strengthening the Moscow Principality.

Thanks to its advantageous geographical position, the presence of trade routes, and the active policies of the Moscow princes, by the end of the 15th century, Grand Duke Ivan III was able to finally unite Rus' around Moscow, making it the center of a centralized Russian state.

Moving the capital to St. Petersburg

During the reign of Peter the Great, St. Petersburg was built on the shores of the Baltic Sea, and the Tsar moved his capital there in the early 18th century. This city was closer to Europe and made a better impression on foreigners. Peter also needed a capital on the seashore "so that guests from other countries could come to the Tsar by sea, rather than having to travel the dangerous route to Moscow."

The city earned the nickname "Northern Venice": wide avenues, river and canal embankments, majestic palaces and buildings created the image of a European metropolis, symbolizing Russia's openness to the world.

Saint Petersburg remained the main city of the empire until the beginning of the 20th century, witnessing the most important historical events: the reforms of Catherine the Great, the Patriotic War of 1812, and the revolutionary upheavals of the early 20th century.

Moscow is the capital of the Soviet state

After the October Revolution of 1917, the political situation in the country deteriorated sharply: the young Soviet Republic faced the threat of foreign intervention and civil war.

In a climate of instability, Petrograd (as St. Petersburg became known in 1914) became vulnerable to possible attacks from the west and north. To ensure the safety of the highest authorities and strengthen the country's governance, the decision was made to return the capital to Moscow.

The government relocation took place in the spring of 1918. On March 12, the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR officially declared Moscow the capital of the new Soviet state. This move allowed for the centralization of government bodies closer to the center of the country, increased the stability of power, and facilitated control over the territory of the young republic.

The best city on Earth

Moscow today ranks among the world's leading megacities, consistently ranking high in international rankings thanks to its active infrastructure development, digitalization, comfortable urban environment, and quality of life. The city is frequently recognized for its achievements in transportation, culture, and business.

Moscow is the site of dozens of songs known to everyone, and is a constant venue for film shoots, star performances, and grand shows.

UN experts have recognized Moscow as the best metropolis in terms of quality of life, and we cannot disagree.

"This city is the best city on Earth

It looks like it was drawn on the wall with chalk.

River boulevards and bridges are drawn

Multicolored freckles white bows"

A RUDN University scientist defended her dissertation and became a candidate of medical sciences.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Enar Dzhumaniyazova, an assistant in the Department of Histology, Cytology, and Embryology at the RUDN Medical Institute and a research fellow at the Research Institute of Molecular and Cellular Medicine, successfully defended her dissertation and became a candidate of medical sciences in two specialties: Cell Biology and Oncology and Radiation Therapy.

Enar Denisovna's dissertation, "A Study of the Cellular Composition and Molecular Signatures of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Before and After Proton Therapy," was conducted under the supervision of Associate Professors Polina Vishnyakova and Konstantin Gordon. The scientist focused on radiation-induced tissue responses in the peritumoral region of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

The researcher presented the results of a transcriptome analysis of tumor cells and peritumoral tissue cells before and after proton beam irradiation and described changes in the activity of signaling cascades. The study identified differentially expressed genes KR1, KR6B, and KR16—markers of response to proton therapy.

"I dreamed of research at the intersection of clinical and fundamental medicine, which is why this work turned out to be so scientifically intensive and interesting. I am incredibly grateful to Professor Timur Khaisamudinovich Fatkhutdinov for helping me realize my dream. It was he who invited me to study cell biology as an undergraduate, and then to graduate school. It was he who introduced me to my wonderful and talented supervisors, Polina Aleksandrovna and Konstantin Borisovich, as well as his research team. It is a tremendous honor for me to work under the guidance of such eminent scientists," says Enar Dzhumaniyazova.

About the essence of the study

According to Enar Denisovna, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck is the sixth most common malignancy worldwide, characterized by frequent recurrences and a relatively low five-year survival rate. In recent years, there has been a trend toward increasing incidence among young people, lending social significance to the study.

"The primary radiation therapy method used in routine practice is photon therapy. Improvements to this method have significantly increased the precision and effectiveness of radiation delivery. However, this dosimetric gain has led to an increase in the frequency and severity of radiation-related complications. This necessitates the urgent search for an optimal radiation therapy option to improve treatment outcomes and patient quality of life," says Enar Dzhumaniyazova.

According to the scientist, proton therapy is the most promising approach to solving this problem. Due to its physical properties, it allows for reduced radiation doses to surrounding tissues, thereby improving treatment outcomes by reducing the risk of radiation-related complications. However, the lack of fundamental research into the radiobiological effects of proton therapy prevents its introduction into routine clinical practice. Enard emphasizes that the relevance of the study is dictated by the high prevalence of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck and its aggressive course, as well as the emerging trend toward personalized antitumor treatment. The study comprehensively examined tumor tissue and the peritumoral tissue (surrounding the tumor), which is considered a source of recurrence. It also describes the biological effects of proton therapy at the cellular and transcriptomic levels.

Practical value of the work

The results obtained by Enar are of fundamental value, as they describe for the first time the response to proton therapy in peritumoral tissue of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The practical value lies in the identification of differentially expressed genes.

"These genes act as predictors (parameters) of response to proton therapy and could serve as the basis for the development of a diagnostic test system to personalize antitumor therapy and reduce the burden on proton therapy departments. Given the high cost of proton systems and their relatively low availability, the identified biomarkers are of significant importance for practical medicine," says Enar Dzhumaniyazova.

The researcher clarifies that the results of transcriptome analysis yielded a list of genes whose expression significantly changed after proton therapy in tumor cells and peritumoral tissue. Subsequent enrichment analysis of these genes helped identify numerous signaling cascades that were activated or suppressed after proton irradiation. These data reveal the mechanisms by which tumor cells and peritumoral cells respond or adapt to this type of treatment. To evaluate the clinical effects of proton therapy, patients were divided into two groups: those who responded to treatment and those who remained resistant. Comparison of the transcriptome profiles of both groups revealed differential molecular genetic signatures in peritumoral tissue cells. According to the data obtained, increased expression of the KR1, KR6B, and KR16 genes is associated with a poor patient response to proton therapy, while their decreased expression is associated with a good response. In the latter case, proton therapy would be justified. Regarding the difficulties on the path to her defense, Enar Denisovna admits that working on her dissertation was interesting, and the difficulties were easily overcome: scientific inspiration triumphed over fatigue again and again.

"Surprisingly, the hardest part was the last few days of preparation for the defense. Then, organizational difficulties compounded the department's administrative workload. Mentally, I felt incredibly stressed, perhaps more than I've ever felt in my life," says Enar Dzhumaniyazova.

According to the scientist, a few days before the defense, when her supervisor Polina Aleksandrovna Vishnyakova and Irina Vladimirovna Arutyunyan were listening to her, she could hardly pull herself together and deliver her report properly—mental exhaustion had taken its toll.

"But I knew how much effort had been invested in me and my work by Polina Alexandrovna, Professor Timur Khaisamudinovich Fatkhudinov, Konstantin Borisovich, and Irina Vladimirovna—I simply couldn't let them down. I'm happy to be surrounded by wonderful people, and during those difficult days, Alena Gantsova and Yulia Stepanova came to help with the organization, and I received incredible support from Professor Valeria Vladimirovna Glinkina," Enar Dzhumaniyazova.

Enar Denisovna is delighted that her thesis defense was held at the highest level, and she saw rays of happiness and pride in the eyes of her immensely respected mentors. The response to her work, the positive feedback and recommendations from world-class scientists, and the sincere emotions of her senior colleagues—in her opinion, this was all worth the effort.

The researcher plans to develop this research and continue the project. The resulting biomarkers of response to proton therapy are to be verified in a larger patient sample. Ideally, this will lead to the development of a diagnostic test system that will help guide the appropriate treatment of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
