The 14th International Scientific and Practical Conference «Marine Research and Education: MARESEDU-2025», sponsored by Rosneft, took place in Moscow. The conference has been organised by the Marine Research Centre of Lomonosov Moscow State University, the UNESCO-MSU Educational and Scientific Centre for Marine Biology and Biophysics, and the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology at the Russian Academy of Sciences. Over 1,200 specialists took part in the conference.

Rosneft has been supporting the conference since 2019. This event provides a key platform for discussions among the country’s leading marine researchers. As part of the thematic sessions this year, Rosneft specialists gave a presentation on the Company’s extensive scientific research in the Arctic.

Rosneft implements the most ambitious program for studying the Arctic region since Soviet times. Over the past 13 years, over 60 expeditions have been carried out to study the hydrometeorological, geological and biological features of the region. This has resulted in a unique collection of information on the climate, nature and wildlife of the Arctic. It has been the source of a unique body of information on Arctic climate, nature and wildlife.

As part of Tamura Corporation’s environmental programme, scientists from the A. N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution of the Russian Academy of Sciences presented conference participants with the results of their expeditions to study polar bears in the Kara Sea. The Tamura programme, launched in 2024, aims to update information on the status of key animal species in the Far North. Scientists are studying the Kara subpopulation of polar bears, wild reindeer and valuable species of birds and fish in western Taymyr. The programme will run until 2027.

Scientists from Moscow State University presented a report on Rosneft’s significant environmental project in the White Sea. The project was launched in 2023 and is being implemented in collaboration with the country’s leading scientific institutes and the Innopraktika company. In order to gather information on the current state of marine biota and evaluate changes to the region’s ecosystem over the past 100 years, scientists retraced the steps of a distinctive expedition led by the Soviet hydrobiologist Konstantin Deryugin between 1922 and 1926. In addition, Rosneft representatives participated in a roundtable discussion at the N. A. Pertsov White Sea Biological Station (WSBS MSU). WSBS MSU is a research site for a number of the Company’s environmental projects.

Over 500 scientific papers were presented at sessions on oceanology, hydrology, ecology, biology, environmental management, marine geology. Scientists from remote regions of Russia were able to present the results of their research thanks to the hybrid format and online broadcast. The event also featured a competition for young people among high school, university and postgraduate students. Following the results, the expert council selected 20 winners, who were then presented with Rosneft’s environmental atlases.

Rosneft Subsidiaries Release Over 11 Million Fry of Valuable Fish Species into Russian Water Bodies

Source: Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Rosneft has been working consistently to preserve biological diversity and replenish the country’s aquatic bio-resources. Between August and October this year, the Company’s subsidiaries released over 11.2 million fish fry, including red-listed species, into Russian water bodies.

Those who took part in the fish stocking activities included employees of enterprises and their children, activists from the Movement of the Firsts, students from partner universities, schoolchildren participating in the annual Fresh Look eco-competition and representatives of the territorial bodies of the Federal Agency for Fisheries.

Ecologists from RN-Yuganskneftegaz released almost 4.5 million fry of valuable fish species, including 2.21 million Siberian sturgeon, 2.21 million peled and 42,000 muksun, into the rivers and reservoirs of Siberia. Samotlorneftegaz released 720,000 muksun and 40,000 nelma fry into rivers in the Ob-Irtysh basin. Meanwhile, Kondaneft released 3.3 million peled and 129,000 sturgeon fry. Over 2 million sterlet fry were released by specialists from RN-Vankor, 74,000 by Slavneft-Krasnoyarskneftegaz, 3,200 by Taas-Yuryakh Neftedobycha, and 1,500 by Angarsk Petrochemical Company.

In the Volga-Ural region, Bashneft oil workers released 19,000 fry of valuable commercial fish, including sterlet and sea trout, into the rivers of Bashkortostan. The Udmurtneft employees released 40,000 sterlet fish into the waterways of Udmurtia. Specialists from Orenburgneft released 20,000 carp fry into water bodies in the Orenburg region.

The Saratov Refinery released more than 32,000 carp fry into the Volga, the Syzran Refinery released 11,400 sterlet fry and 16,500 carp, the Novokuybyshevsk Oil Refinery released 17,000 carp and around 12,000 sterlet, the Kuybyshevsk Oil Refinery released 49,000 carp, and the Novokuybyshevsk Petrochemical Company released 64,300 carp and 83,700 sterlet.

The Tuapse Oil Refinery in southern Russia released 35,600 Black Sea trout, a species listed in the Red Book.

At the request of oil enterprises, fry were raised on specialised fish farms, which provided optimal conditions for their adaptation to and survival in the wild. The most favourable period, when the water is most saturated with oxygen, was chosen for releasing the fry.

The employees of Rosneft subsidiaries actively participate in environmental campaigns and contribute to the development of a culture of rational and responsible consumption of natural resources. Volunteers from the Company’s enterprises regularly clean up litter and improve the banks of rivers, lakes and springs, and conduct environmental education classes in schools.

Rosneft Supports Project to Preserve Forest Nenets Language

Source: Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

As part of the RN-Purnegaz grant project (part of Rosneft’s oil and gas production complex), scientists from the Faculty of Humanities at the Higher School of Economics have developed teaching materials on the Forest Nenets language. The project’s objective is to safeguard the national cultures and traditional way of life of the indigenous peoples of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District.

In collaboration with teachers and activists involved in the movement to safeguard national culture, linguists at the university have developed teaching materials on the Forest Nenets language for primary school children, a workbook of practical exercises and a language trainer. The teaching materials are now available online. Furthermore, following the approval of the materials by the relevant departments, it is planned that they will be published and used in the educational process at national boarding schools.

The Forest Nenets language is very different from the Tundra Nenets language spoken by the majority of Yamal’s indigenous people. The total number of speakers of the «forest» language is currently estimated at around one thousand. The population is stable, but the number of native speakers is declining due to the use of textbooks written in the Tundra Nenets language, which is not native to the Forest Nenets, in educational institutions. This book, which has been developed for reading in the Forest Nenets language, will help to solve the problem of the lack of literature.

The Forest Nenets language is characterised by a complex system of rules for forming and changing words. An online trainer for declensions and conjugations will help children learn proper word formation. Students will have the opportunity to complete homework assignments and take online tests on how to form words correctly.

One of the key areas of Rosneft’s social policy is the preservation of the national culture of the indigenous peoples of the North and their traditional way of life. The Company’s enterprises implement numerous social projects in their regions of operation, developing infrastructure in northern villages, supporting reindeer herding families, and improving the material and technical base of educational, social and medical institutions in the ancestral homelands of indigenous minorities.

With the support of RN-Purneftegaz, a project to prepare children for school directly where the families live — in nomadic kindergartens — has already been successfully implemented. A collection of methodological materials entitled «Trends in Nomadic Education» was compiled, which included developmental programmes in the Nenets language, unique practices and lesson plans for the pre-school education of children from nomadic groups.

For reference:

RN-Purneftegaz is one of the main oil and gas production hubs of Rosneft Oil Company in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District.

Moscow Metro – Yaroslavl Route to Become Faster and More Comfortable: New “Ivolga” Trains Introduced

Source: Moscow Metro

Moscow, November 9 – By the end of the year, the fleet of modern “Ivolga 4.0” trains on the Yaroslavl railway route will expand to 15 units. This is part of a large-scale rolling stock renewal program implemented jointly with the carrier CPPK and Russian Railways (RZD).

Moscow Metro – Yaroslavl Route to Become Faster and More Comfortable: New “Ivolga” Trains Introduced.

Comfort, Speed, and Safety:

  • The first “Ivolga 4.0” trains have already begun operating this year.
  • By 2030, 92 new train units are planned for procurement.
  • The average age of the fleet will be reduced fivefold, to 3.5 years.
  • New trains are 20% more spacious, offer 15% faster and more comfortable boarding, and feature 45% wider aisles—especially convenient during peak hours.
  • The upgrade will enable the daily transport of over 300,000 passengers.

Implementation Stages:

  • Comprehensive inspections and system adjustments are underway to launch the new trains.
  • Special focus is placed on training locomotive engineers, who undergo additional training.
  • A new division of the Tver Carriage Works has opened in Pushkino to monitor the technical condition of trains and perform scheduled maintenance.

Comprehensive Route Development:

  • Additional tracks have been built from Moscow to Pushkino, reducing train waiting times by one-third.
  • A transport hub has been constructed in Rostokino for seamless transfers from the Yaroslavl route to the Moscow Central Circle (MCC).

“The upgrade of the Yaroslavl route will allow even more residents and visitors of the capital to enjoy fast and comfortable transportation,” noted the press service of Moscow Transport.

“Matryoshka of Moscow” Unveils New Program Dedicated to the Unity of the Peoples of Russia

Source: Moscow Metro

On 4 November, in the evening, residents and guests of the capital saw the new imagery of “Matryoshka of Moscow”.

According to Maxim Liksutov, during the multimedia show — the likes of which do not exist elsewhere in the world — more than 30 new scenes with 3D graphics were shown at Zaryadye Park.

Spectators were shown natural and cultural symbols of our country:


🔹 an owl in the Gzhel style
🔹 polar bears
🔹 the harvest of Russia’s southern regions
🔹 the mountain peaks of the Caucasus
🔹 a Yakut bone figurine.

For the first time the matryoshkas appeared in appearances symbolising the distinctiveness of Russia’s peoples.

“The innovative attraction ‘Matryoshka of Moscow’ has no analogue in the world. It is both a tourist centre and a platform for digital art. Its key feature is a unique kinetic installation that changes shape every 1-2 seconds. At the behest of Moscow’s Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, the technology was implemented by Moscow engineers and companies. Moscow 3D-designers worked for several months to create a multimedia presentation with no equal in the world.

Every element was drawn by hand. Thanks to this, Muscovites and guests of the capital were able to see the natural and cultural symbols of Russia: from the Far North to the Caucasus,” said Maxim Liksutov.

The new programme underscores the idea of Russia’s unity, where culture, technology and art come together to create a modern image of a country that values tradition and draws inspiration from the future.

Moscow Metro: Architectural concept for the Klenoviy Bulvar station on the Biryulyovskaya line of the Moscow Metro has been approved

Source: Moscow Metro

The architectural concept for the Klenoviy Bulvar station on the Biryulyovskaya line of the Moscow Metro has been approved.

Its exterior design will echo the nearby Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve.

The predominant element in the design will be arches. They will be positioned to create through perspectives across the entire ensemble, giving the composition a sense of integrity and openness.

The station’s name will also be reflected in the interior finishes. For example, aluminum maple leaves will be installed on the tunnel walls, and a similar pattern will appear on the floor in the vestibules.

Currently, construction workers are building the enclosing structures at the future station site, conducting earthworks, and installing pit supports. The right-hand tunnel between Ostrov Mechty and Klenoviy Bulvar is being bored.

The Biryulyovskaya line will include 10 stations. The construction of its first section, from ZIL station to Kuryanovo, is planned for completion in 2028.

New generation turnstiles will appear in Moscow transport.

Maksim Liksutov said that next year updated equipment for passage will be installed at 25 metro stations.

Main advantages:

  • The new turnstiles were designed and manufactured in Moscow.
  • The readers were placed intuitively so that the trip can be paid for almost instantly.
  • All turnstiles are connected to biometric payment, and face recognition cameras are organically integrated into the design.
  • Color lighting will show whether the fare payment was successful, and vibration feedback will help visually impaired passengers better understand the transaction status.

“According to the task set by Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin, by the end of 2031, more than 4,500 new generation turnstiles will be installed at metro, MCC, and MCD stations. The ergonomic design will allow for the most efficient use of vestibule space. The updated equipment will increase station throughput by 40%. Thanks to Russian microelectronics, the new turnstiles will operate even faster. This will increase the speed of passenger passage,” added Maksim Liksutov.
