The 28th CSTB.PRO.MEDIA Media Industry Forum, held in Moscow on February 17–18, 2026, has concluded. The 2026 business program featured 16 sessions, panel discussions, and roundtables featuring over 160 speakers. The exhibition showcased industry solutions from over 180 brands, offering innovative solutions in content production, distribution, and dissemination.

As per tradition, the forum's business program opened with the Strategic Session "The Media Industry in 2026: Content, Technology, and Audience." Moderator: Denis Kuskov, CEO of the Telecom Daily Information and Analytical Agency. The session began with a presentation by Ksenia Achkasova, Executive Director of Mediascope. The speaker discussed the modernization of media measurement and noted that the company has been actively using Russian tools since 2025, and plans to further develop this process in 2026 through the expansion of TV panels, the CrossWeb project, and smartphones.

Speaking about the industry's immediate prospects, Yulia Golubeva, Deputy CEO of Gazprom-Media Holding, announced that starting this year, the Cinema Fund will introduce an additional mandatory document required for applications to participate in the funding competition. She explained that this form describes not only the film's values, as the applicant believes, but also the specific character arcs, cinematic tools, and visual techniques that will reflect and promote a particular value or state priority. The speaker also noted that up to 30% of total online viewing is comprised of television channels and their content, including those using the Vitrina TV software.

At the end of the discussion, all participants concluded that the industry is seeing a trend toward cooperation. The struggle for sole leadership is being replaced by conscious partnerships. Media holdings, online cinemas, and content producers are increasingly joining forces on joint projects, recognizing that it is becoming impossible to bear the high costs of production and promotion independently.

The session "Entertainment Content on TV and Digital" brought together top experts to discuss the future of entertainment in the era of hybrid broadcasting. The session was moderated by Alexey Korlyakov, Head of Format Acquisitions and Research at TNT. The experts primarily addressed the topic of trends, noting the current trend toward nostalgia. Alexey Fedorov, Director of the In-House Production Department at PREMIER and RUTUBE, stated that brand-based projects are a trend. "Organic brands that reach the heart are more in demand than inorganic brands," Lika Blank, film and TV producer, added. "The trend toward nostalgia emerged worldwide after COVID-19, during a creative crisis when creativity ceased."

At the session "International Distribution of Russian Content," key industry experts discussed which genres are in demand abroad today, which regions are worth focusing on, and how to adapt Russian content for international audiences without losing its national identity. Nikolai Zlatopolsky, Director of International Sales at Central Partnership, emphasized that historical war films, as well as adaptations of classic works familiar to audiences worldwide, are demonstrating the greatest success in the international market.

The "TV in a Digital Environment" session discussed audiences, the specifics of online TV advertising, and media holdings' collaboration with internet companies. Darya Pugacheva, Director of the Research Department at Gazprom-Media Holding, stated that today, platforms struggle to survive without television content. Television retains subscribers between premieres and satisfies the audience's demand for "make a choice for me." Originals cost almost as much to produce as TV content, and mass-market hits are few and far between. Furthermore, TV premieres are cheaper to purchase and already come with paid marketing by the channel. Figures show that TV content is holding its own: monthly TV reach is 137 million viewers, and out-of-home TV viewing is expected to grow by 14% in 2025 (Mediascope). More than 80% of PREMIER viewers watch TV series, while RUTUBE views have increased by 38% year-on-year. The platform's top 10 creators include four TV channels: TNT, Channel One, NTV, and Pyatnitsa! Television is expanding its presence today and, among other things, is becoming a driver of growth for online cinemas.

At the "Vertical Content" session, experts discussed the demand and potential of microdramas, ways to promote vertical series, and also touched on the topic of AI in microdrama production. Artem Andreev, Head of Project Implementation at Insight People, noted that microdramas are not only a business but also a reputational and image-building tool.

The panel discussion "Online Cinemas: How Content Policy Is Changing in a Saturated Market and Rising Costs of Originals" focused on monetization, platform content strategy, the use of cutting-edge technologies, and the quality of content produced. Maria Istomina, editor of the Media and Culture section at Vedomosti newspaper, moderated the discussion. The discussion began with a presentation by Denis Kuskov, head of Telecom Media. According to Telecom Media research, by 2025, 71% of online cinema users will watch content via subscription, and 41% will choose streaming to watch live TV channels. David Kocharov, general producer of PREMIER and RUTUBE, stated that creating event-driven series is essential today. There's no point in making run-of-the-mill projects. Everyone is betting on either a franchise or strong content these days. Kocharov also announced that RUTUBE will begin supporting film distribution. The service will be used to create events on the platform for film releases.

For the first time, the forum featured master classes on creating promotional videos. Georgy Ryumin, creative producer at GPM KIT (Gazprom-Media Holding), moderated the event. Speakers agreed: sincerity—real emotions, honest stories, and unadulterated content—is valued today. Authenticity is becoming a new strategic resource for brands. "The main trend is sincerity. People are tired of perfect people, of glossy images. They want to see people like them."

Over the course of two days, more than 5,700 industry professionals attended the CSTB.PRO.MEDIA 2026 business events. Gazprom-Media Holding acted as a forum partner.

Based on the 2025 admissions campaign, more than 800 college and technical school graduates chose the Polytechnic University to continue their education. This result was made possible by the university's systematic collaboration with secondary vocational education institutions.

SPbPU's Directorate of Pre-University Education and Talent Attraction actively engages prospective students throughout the academic year. The highlight of this effort was the College Fest, which brought together talented and motivated students from various educational institutions.

At the festival opening, Irina Timoshenkova, Deputy Director for Educational Activities at the Institute of Biomedical Systems and Biotechnology, and Marina Petrochenko, Director of the Civil Engineering Institute, welcomed participants. Varvara Sotova, Director of the Student Recruitment Center and Deputy Secretary of the Admissions Committee at SPbPU, spoke about the specifics and pathways for admission to the Polytechnic University for applicants with a secondary vocational education diploma.

The main challenge and most exciting part of the festival was the three-day project work. Participants immersed themselves in solving practical problems prepared by university faculty.

The Civil Engineering Institute challenged students to create a video game concept, including a detailed game scenario, a detailed description of the game world, gameplay mechanics, and a visual concept for the game space.

The Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade tasked teams with developing a business plan for establishing a camp in the Leningrad Region. This included a market analysis, logo creation, service descriptions, a marketing strategy, a financial plan, identifying opportunities for government support, and assessing risks and development prospects.

During the assignment, organized by the Institute of Biomedical Systems and Biotechnology, the participants were tasked with developing a concept for a food service establishment specializing in Arctic cuisine. The project included creating a menu based on local northern produce, as well as a layout designating functional zones and flows that complied with food safety and occupational health and safety standards. The work was based on real-world data—the floor plan and its location—ensuring the assignment's high practical relevance.

The festival gave students the opportunity to go beyond the curriculum and try their hand at being video game developers, business analysts, and food service designers. Working on real-world problems allowed them not only to apply their professional knowledge but also to master new tools needed in the industry. Furthermore, College Fest brought together students from various educational institutions: they exchanged contacts, discussed ideas, and, once at the university, were able to get a feel for student life at Polytechnic University and the labs and spaces awaiting them upon admission.

Following the project defense, the jury selected the winners. They received diplomas and valuable prizes. Furthermore, winning the College Fest entitles applicants to receive additional points toward their Unified State Exam (USE) or entrance exams when applying to the Polytechnic University.

The festival's winners included students from the Institute of Secondary Vocational Education at SPbPU, the Academy of Engineering Technologies and Management, the College of Information and Creative Technologies, and the College of Business and Technology at St. Petersburg State University of Economics.

For some, participating in the festival was an opportunity to test their skills before applying, while for others, it was a chance to find like-minded individuals and mentors. Regardless of their results, each participant took home the experience of working with a team on a real project and a glimpse into the modern laboratories of one of the country's leading technical universities.

Archives Day: How the Moscow Main Archives Department is developing digital services and educational projects

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

March 10 marks Archives Day in Russia. To mark the occasion, the Moscow Main Archives Department presented the results of large-scale digitalization and recent projects improving access to archival documents for residents and researchers. These include robotic tools, genealogical services, educational programs, and social initiatives.

Today, the agency stores over 20 million files, each containing up to 200 different documents. While in the 2000s, the capital's archive could accommodate no more than 10 million files, today the new robotic complex "Mosarchive" alone can accommodate up to 100 million storage units.

"The Moscow Main Archive is actively developing and combining traditional archival work with modern digital and educational projects. Much attention is being paid to expanding electronic services and implementing new data storage technologies. The largest robotic complex, Mosarchive, has been operational for several years, and a long-term storage system for electronic documents was recently created. The online service "My Family," which brings together millions of pages of genealogical sources and helps Muscovites discover their family histories, is generating considerable interest. Educational initiatives remain an important focus, particularly the project "Unique Documents. A New Generation's View," where schoolchildren and college students study historical materials together with specialists from the Moscow Main Archive. Thanks to these initiatives, the history of Moscow is becoming closer and more accessible to citizens," said the head of the Moscow Main Archive.

Yaroslav Onopenko.

The Main Archives Department of Moscow was the first in Russia to implement an optical media archiving system designed for storing digital documents that must remain unchanged for decades. Such materials include, for example, documents confirming employment history, education, and other important events. The central element of the system is the ELARobot NSM robotic long-term digital data storage system. It provides automated recording and reading of information and enables the secure storage of large volumes of digital documents. The use of optical media with its immutable recording nature eliminates the possibility of altering or deleting data, preserving it for a long time.

Glavarkhiv's digital services are rapidly growing in popularity. The online service "My Family" celebrated its fifth anniversary. During this time, the database has expanded by nearly 14 million pages of genealogical documents, including parish registers, confession records, census records, and other materials. Over 20 million users have already used the service in search of information about their ancestors. Furthermore, in collaboration with Yandex, the "Archive Search" platform was created, using neural network technologies to recognize handwritten texts from past centuries. This significantly accelerates archival searches and automates the decipherment of complex documents.

Schoolchildren can also study their family trees: the Moscow Electronic School platform offers the "Archive Search" service. Its database is regularly updated, and its functionality is expanded. One of the new tools is a map that helps match genealogical documents with actual historical addresses in Moscow. With it, users can find information about their ancestors based on the locations of Moscow churches.

Furthermore, the Main Archives of Moscow currently holds over 400 unique documents—archival materials that are unique in content or appearance, and irreplaceable if lost. These include designs for lost churches and monasteries in Moscow and the Moscow province, birth records of prominent figures in science and culture, engravings by archaeologist Giovanni Piranesi, a previously unknown musical manuscript of Dmitry Shostakovich's "Impromptu Op. 33," and documents related to the proposal to erect a "Tomb of the Unknown Soldier" monument with an Eternal Flame near the Kremlin wall.

The number of such materials is gradually increasing, thanks in part to research by Glavarkhiv specialists and the educational project "Unique Documents. A New Generation's View," whose participants help identify and study the documents. The project is being implemented jointly with the Moscow Department of Education and Science Based at the Moscow Center for Educational Practices, schoolchildren in grades 8-11 and college students, together with specialists from the Main Archives, research historical documents, learn about archival work, and participate in the study of materials. Over the course of the project, with the participation of schoolchildren and students, more than 35 archival files and documents were recognized as unique.

In the first season, participants examined nearly 1,500 archival files and helped recognize the unique documents of 21 prominent figures in science, art, and culture. The second season focused on the heroes of the Great Patriotic War and scientists from the Khristophor Ledentsov Society for the Promotion of Experimental Sciences and their Practical Applications. The third season of the project covered several key areas: Arctic exploration, the development of aeronautics, and the history of astronomy and aviation. One of the results of this work was the recognition of documents related to the lives and exploits of test pilots Georgy Baidukov and Anatoly Lyapidevsky as unique.

Social initiatives also remain an important part of the archive's work. The "Life Line" memoir writing club, created by the Moscow Main Archives Office in collaboration with Moscow Longevity Centers, celebrated its fifth anniversary. The project, implemented as part of the "Moscow Longevity" program, aims to preserve the memories of Moscow's older residents. Over 500 residents have participated in the club, and their recollections have formed the basis of two published collections of memoirs. 210 manuscripts have already been transferred to the Moscow Main Archives Office for permanent storage.

More than four thousand units of modern equipment will be installed in 100 schools that will open this year after reconstruction under the city program. My SchoolMini-farms for growing plants, quadcopter kits, and digital microscopes will be installed in classrooms, the Moscow school's press service reported. Department of Education and Science.

"A large-scale renovation of educational buildings under the 'My School' program is ongoing in Moscow. Another 100 renovated buildings will open this year. The program will also include educational equipment. Classrooms will be equipped with robotics and programming kits, laser cutting and engraving machines, and digital geography labs. A total of 11 types of equipment will be installed for teaching technology, chemistry, physics, biology, and geography," the department's press service reported.

Moscow schools will also receive modern digital and stereoscopic microscopes, which will help students study microorganisms and plant cells. These microscopes will allow children to examine objects both individually and in groups.

The new equipment will make learning more visual, as the built-in screen allows you to take photos and record videos, and share your observations with all students. Furthermore, stereoscopic microscopes allow for three-dimensional imaging, allowing for better visualization of microorganisms.

Sergei Sobyanin: This year we will reconstruct about 100 school buildings.Moscow schools will be able to choose their design during renovations.

After the renovation, the schools will also have mini-farms and hydroponic systems, which allow plants to grow without soil. Instead of soil, they use a substrate, and the root system is suspended in a nutrient-rich liquid containing all the necessary chemical elements. These greenhouses allow students to observe plant development and grow their own seedlings.

In dedicated digital geography labs, students will study the atmosphere, conduct experiments, and investigate soil, water, and various natural processes. They will be able to use various sensors and devices that measure temperature, pollution levels, and nitrate ion concentrations, as well as monitor natural phenomena.

"Thanks to the new equipment, lessons have expanded beyond textbooks. Students have access to digital labs with sensors and modern greenhouses. This allows them to conduct research and experiments without leaving school. As a result, our students regularly present their work at scientific and practical conferences," said Mikhail Goremykin, Principal of School No. 1770.

For students interested in technical subjects, 3D printers and scanners, as well as laser cutting and engraving machines, will be installed. Using these, students will create prototypes of devices and three-dimensional objects—from animal skeletons and human organs to building models and gears—and work with various materials such as wood, acrylic, plastic, fabric, leather, and even fiberglass.

Using new CNC laser cutting machines, students will be able to perform milling work on flat workpieces, engraving and carving wood, and produce signs, numbers, seals, and other items.

Sobyanin: Moscow is among the world leaders in the quality of school educationSobyanin outlined plans for developing the Moscow education system.

The renovated schools will also have quadcopter and mobile robot kits for use in programming classes. This will help students develop skills in mechanics, modeling, physics, and electromechanics. Furthermore, students will be able to independently assemble and program their own safe, entry-level quadcopters for indoor and outdoor use.
