At the Oktyabr cinema in Moscow, the Central Partnership film company (part of Gazprom-Media Holding) held a large-scale presentation of next year's releases.

In 2025, nine films grossed over a billion rubles at the Russian box office. Central Partnership distributed six of them: "The Wizard of the Emerald City: The Yellow Brick Road," "The Prophet: The Story of Alexander Pushnik," "Batya 2," "Alice in Wonderland," "August," and "Kraken."

New films and sequels of popular franchises

The sequel to the film "Cheburashka" will be released on January 1st. The first installment grossed 6.787 billion rubles, making it the highest-grossing Russian film of all time.

"We're releasing 'Cheburashka' in the face of strong competition, as is usually the case around New Year's. However, we're confident in the project's strength, and we have something others don't—audiences already loved the first film. Cheburashka is a character who brings the whole family together."

Pavel Vereshchagin, Director of Rentals at Central Partnership

This spring, audiences will see the musical comedy "The King of My Love" on the big screen. Shot entirely in India, the project has become one of the most ambitious international Russian films in recent years. The story centers on the noble police officer Ramas, who confronts the criminal Shamar and unexpectedly discovers that they are brothers separated in childhood.

Produced by TNT and My Way Studio with the support of the Cinema Fund. The project's general producers were Tina Kandelaki, Boris Khanchalyan, Sergey Kosinsky, Arkady Vodakhov, Marina Razumova, Vsevolod Zharov, and Lika Blank.

In June, the sequel to one of Russia's most successful franchises, "Kholop 3," will be released. The film focuses on the re-education of a married couple, played by Kristina Asmus and Pavel Priluchny, with Miloš Biković appearing as Peter the Great. According to Pavel Vereshchagin, the film will be the most ambitious and spectacular in the trilogy.

The film "Battle of the Engines," starring Yura Borisov and Ivan Yankovsky, tells the story of automobile racing in the early 20th century. It will hit theaters in October. The story centers on the life of Andrei Nagel, an enthusiast and pioneer of the domestic automobile industry. Despite the skepticism of those around him and fierce competition from foreign manufacturers, he takes on an ambitious project: the development and production of the first Russo-Balt automobiles.

The sci-fi blockbuster "The Ninth Planet" is the story of a simple auto mechanic who suddenly begins to remember strange things: his service on a distant planet, his battles with monsters, and his girlfriend, Polina. Are these memories true? Who altered his memory, and why? The answers lie hidden on "The Ninth Planet." Gazprom-Media Holding is one of the project's producers, with Tina Kandelaki, Sergey Selyanov, and Yefim Lyubinsky serving as producers.

The film "How Ivan Got into a Fairy Tale" will also premiere in 2026. The plot follows a boy named Ivan who finds himself in the world of Russian fairy tales. To return home, he must confront evil spirits, make friends, and accomplish a heroic deed.

Another release is the comedy "Fire Zhora," starring Danila Kozlovsky and Mikhail Galustyan. Kozlovsky's character fires top managers. He intends to get rid of the lead programmer of an IT company, but falls in love with the programmer's sister.

December 15, 2025 Do you love to ride as much as bison do?

Do you love to ride as much as bison do?

In winter, we go sledding, skiing, or skating. Bison also have their favorite places to relax and have fun—slides. These are areas of meadows and forest edges where the animals regularly roll around on the ground. And here's the interesting thing: slides not only help get rid of parasites and speed up shedding. They literally transform the landscape.

When bison break up the turf and expose the soil, the meadow begins to regenerate. These areas become home to weakly competitive plants that wouldn't thrive in undisturbed areas. As a result, the meadows boast two to three times more diverse grasses and wildflowers than the surrounding areas. It turns out that the bison aren't just having fun; they're also supporting biodiversity. A noble pursuit!

In the Klyazminsko-Lukhsky Nature Reserve in the Vladimir Region, winter remains a challenging time for these relict giants. A shortage of food makes supplementary feeding vital. 430,454 rubles out of 927,600 rubles have already been raised to provide the bison with food for the entire winter season.

Even a small contribution makes a difference. Support the bison now!

Thank you for being there and helping!

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

From December 8 to 11, 2025, the Nature Embassy Foundation held a comprehensive seminar, "Oil Spills: Impact, Consequence Management, and Psychological Preparation of Personnel," in Sochi and the Sirius Federal Territory. The event brought together 20 specialists from coastal nature reserves and national parks across the country, whose territories are most vulnerable to this man-made threat. The seminar was part of the new, large-scale "Living Black Sea" project, launched in November 2025 and implemented by the Nature Embassy Foundation with the support of JTI Russia.

The seminar program included lectures by leading scientists from the State Institute of Natural Sciences and the Institute of Oceanology of the Republic of Armenia, who have been studying this topic for many years, along with specialized practical workshops (for example, on providing veterinary care to injured animals), and training sessions to enhance the management and psychological competencies of protected area staff when working in emergency situations. Seminar topics included studying the impacts on ecosystems in specific areas, ensuring the safety of people and animals, monitoring and scientific research, and actions to restore ecosystems after emergency situations.

In particular, Sergey Zatsepa, a leading researcher at the State Oceanographic Institute, spoke about the use of modern technologies for scientific modeling and forecasting of oil spills, using the Kerch Strait and other waters as examples. Representatives of the Utrish Nature Reserve and the Anapa Peresyp Nature Park outlined key factors that must be considered when assessing the vulnerability and protecting specially protected natural areas. Vyacheslav Krylenko, a senior researcher at the Southern Branch of the Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, explained how to plan for emergency response based on an understanding of coastal ecosystems.

Tatyana Denisenko, Head of the Department of Virology and Microbiology at the K.I. Scriabin Moscow Veterinary Academy, dedicated her report to helping cetaceans and studying the impact of oil spills on the health of Black Sea dolphins. During a discussion moderated by Olga Pegova (Caucasian Nature Reserve), protected area staff discussed the risks to their natural areas and outlined elements of an oil spill response plan.

The program for the second and subsequent days was structured around the principle of "from on-site action to crisis management." The second day of the seminar began with a practical sea voyage on a vessel with the scientific director of the Delfa Dolphin Rescue Center. Participants were fortunate to encounter all three species of dolphins inhabiting the Black Sea. The focus then shifted to technology and rescue: experts presented the capabilities of satellite monitoring and their experience in oil spill response in the Arctic. A key section was a detailed algorithm for rescuing birds contaminated with oil products, from capture to setting up a rehabilitation center, presented by veterinarians from the Wildlife Hospital. The day concluded with a tour of the high-tech laboratories of the Sirius National Technical University, where participants were able to observe the development of a microbiological method for the disposal of oil products.

The third day was dedicated to developing "soft" skills, crucial during emergencies. Under the guidance of experienced mentors, participants explored external and internal communication strategies, volunteer management methods, and working with local communities. The culmination was a practical workshop, organized jointly with the press service of the Caucasus Nature Reserve, during which each participant recorded a mini-interview on a sensitive topic and received a professional on-camera analysis of their work.

The final day began with an inspiring excursion to the Caucasus National Park. Following this, professional psychologist Victoria Dmitrieva conducted a key training session on stress management, burnout prevention, and the ethics of interaction in emergency and crisis situations. The seminar concluded with a shared experience and a certificate presentation ceremony.

"The integrated approach used in designing this seminar not only allows us to provide specific instructions but also to develop a holistic understanding of the crisis and a course of action among protected area staff—from immediate shoreline interventions that preserve their own psychological resources to long-term measures that foster a trusting dialogue with the public. The Nature Embassy Foundation expresses its sincere gratitude to JTI Russia for supporting the project and the seminar, to all the experts and speakers for their invaluable knowledge and practical skills, to our colleagues from the Caucasus Nature Reserve for their assistance in organizing and conducting off-site events and workshops, and to the participants for their high level of engagement, willingness to engage in dialogue, and their inexhaustible motivation to protect Russia's nature. The tools we received and the professional connections we established are a significant contribution to improving the preparedness of the nature reserve system to respond quickly and effectively to environmental challenges," noted Polina Grigorieva, an expert at the Nature Embassy Foundation and director of the Living Black Sea project.

Sergey Zatsepa, Acting Head of the Marine Environment Modeling Laboratory and Leading Researcher at the N. N. Zubov State Oceanographic Institute, said: "The seminar, organized by the Zapovednoye Polustvo Foundation, allowed us to look at the Anapa oil spill from a new perspective. It was attended by biologists, geomorphologists, and representatives of specially protected natural areas whose mission is to preserve and study protected areas. I was incredibly impressed by their attention to the incident and their desire to do everything in their power to ensure that future incidents, should they arise, are dealt with as effectively as possible and with minimal impact on specially protected areas. The opinions of the seminar participants deserve to be summarized and disseminated so that an effective oil spill response system can be established in our country."

Representatives from the Polytechnic University visited the rear areas of the Special Military Operations (SMO). They delivered another batch of humanitarian aid and presented certificates of advanced training to the special operation participants, the first to complete training at the Polytechnic University in five different programs. More than 100 students from the first cohort studied remotely, directly in the SMO zone.

At their unit locations, the Polytechnic guests were greeted by military personnel off duty and off combat missions. Ivan Kolomeitsev, Associate Professor of the Higher School of Social Sciences, congratulated them on their successful completion of their training and presented them with certificates and commemorative gifts from the university. The unit commanders and soldiers thanked the Polytechnic for the opportunity not only to prepare for civilian life but also to enhance their knowledge for combat missions.

"Such events help maintain the morale of personnel and instill their faith in the future. Your university once again confirms its position as a national leader and its high civic status," command representatives shared. "The online learning format allowed for the completion of programs during free time and contributed to the quality of their completion by enhancing the level of personnel training at the leading engineering university of the Russian Federation."

"The recruitment of the first cohort was preceded by a sociological survey among military personnel. Based on its results, the decision was made to launch programs that, on the one hand, meet the objectives of technological leadership and, on the other, are feasible under the established conditions. "131 people successfully completed the training, which we consider an excellent result under the circumstances. We also conducted training for Polytechnic University staff to build a talent pool for working with participants and veterans of the Second Military District," said Ivan Kurta, Head of the Directorate for Continuing Education and Industry Partnerships.

With the support of the Priority 2030 program, a survey of soldiers undergoing rehabilitation and treatment was also conducted, and career guidance tools were developed. It can already be said that the hypothesisthe need to train participants of the SVO and confirmation of this training with documents before completing service and returning to civilian life, has proven to be correct, and now it is necessary to expand the pool of training programs and methods.

The University has already generated a flow of new requests for the implementation of programs frompublic organizations, subjects of the Federation, educational organizations.

"We see a need for this type of training, but no one can say for sure which programs, learning tools, and pedagogical technologies will be successfully implemented, as there are many external factors involved, often requiring unconventional and innovative solutions. Therefore, in addition to carefully developing the programs, prompt communication with students during the pilot launch is crucial; this will allow us to clearly set goals for future cohorts," commented Dmitry Tikhonov, Vice-Rector for Continuing and Pre-University Education at SPbPU.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

RUDN University medical students won prizes and runners-up at the first International Festival of Student Science and High Art, held at Omsk State Medical University. The event, organized as part of the Decade of Science and Technology in the Russian Federation, was jointly hosted by the Omsk State Medical University's Department of Orthopedic Dentistry and our university's Department of Orthopedic Dentistry.

The festival became a living embodiment of the thesis "dental science and practice as art." It provided a platform for mastering and demonstrating diagnostic methods and manual skills using digital technology, combined with immersion in the world of music and fine art.

Six student teams from universities in Perm, Yekaterinburg, Moscow (RUDN University), Almaty, Novosibirsk, and Omsk participated in the festival competition. A distinguished jury comprised of leading experts in orthopedic dentistry evaluated the participants' work. Among them were Igor Lebedenko, Head of the Department of Orthopedic Dentistry at RUDN University, and Vitaly Parunov, Professor of the same department.

Dentistry and Tchaikovsky

The first day's program included a presentation of the universities' business cards and a student olympiad. Participants demonstrated their skills in digital diagnostics of the functional state of the dental system, stomatoscopy, and manual tasks such as making a silicone key, preparation, photodiagnostics, taking optical impressions, and making temporary crowns. The festival's evening program introduced guests to the Omsk Symphony Orchestra, which performed works by P.I. Tchaikovsky, G.V. Sviridov, and A.P. Petrov. On the second day, a student research paper competition took place, where young researchers presented works reflecting contemporary trends in science and practice. The festival concluded with the opening of an exhibition of selected graphic works from the collection of Professor A.A. Stafeev, "From the Great Piranesi to the Art Deco Genius Erté." The House of Artists featured over 100 original works, ranging from etchings by Giovanni Battista Piranesi to works by Art Deco artists, allowing participants to experience high art.

Among the best

RUDN University students demonstrated excellent results in the individual competition at the festival:

Elizaveta Kovrizhkina, a fifth-year Dentistry student, took first place in the "Temporary Crown Fabrication" category. Valeria Maltseva, a fifth-year Dentistry student, took third place in the "Tooth Preparation" category.

The winners shared their impressions.

"Some stages of the competition were a revelation for me: we were tested on our interdisciplinary thinking and creativity. We had practiced our manual skills in orthopedic dentistry many times in our departmental classes, so we were prepared to present our work with distinction. The unfamiliar environment and the new team were nerve-wracking, but once we became friends with all the participants, the atmosphere became very warm. I was surprised to see healthy competition and even friendships develop between all the participants," says Elizaveta Kovrizhkina.

"I went to the festival primarily wanting to test my skills. The atmosphere was amazing: so many talented, friendly, and passionate people! I developed good, trusting relationships with everyone. I hope to see them again! Winning a prize in dissection is a huge honor for me and motivates me to continue developing. The only challenge during this task was finding the balance between under-dissecting and over-dissecting. This was the only thing that caused a little anxiety: you're not imagining a phantom, but a real person who has approached you with a problem, and your main goal is to help them," says Valeria Maltseva.

All competition participants and winners were awarded diplomas, valuable gifts, and books published by leading Russian professors. RUDN University is proud of its contribution to the event and the achievements of its students.

Document

Resolution of December 5, 2025 No. 1990

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree approving a list of target indicators for ensuring Russia's technological leadership, medium- and long-term technology development in economic sectors, as well as rules for calculating them and monitoring their achievement.

The main goal of the document is to create a unified system for assessing Russia's technological development to achieve national goals and implement the new federal law "On Technological Policy."

Target indicators for ensuring technological leadership characterize the development of high-tech products and the technologies necessary for their creation, and form the basis for assessing the effectiveness of Russia's technological policy.

The new resolution defines the country's level of technological independence and its level of technological superiority over foreign analogues in priority high-tech products using such indicators.

The achieved level of technological independence and technological superiority are designated as target indicators for the medium-term and long-term development of technologies in economic sectors.

Work to achieve target indicators will be carried out within the framework of national projects to ensure technological leadership, medium- and long-term technology development plans, projects to develop cross-cutting technologies, and innovative development programs for organizations with state participation.

Speaking about the decision made at a meeting on the implementation of technology policy held on December 15 at the Technopolis Moscow SEZ, Mikhail Mishustin noted that the comprehensive system for assessing technological development will demonstrate the progress of the development of high-tech solutions and products based on domestic technologies, determine the country's level of independence in priority developments, and characterize our level of leadership when compared with foreign counterparts. The metrics approved by the resolution will be integrated into national projects and will serve as benchmarks for bringing product performance up to the best international standards.
