Specialists from Rosneft’s Arctic Research Centre and scientists from the country’s leading research institutions summed up the results of a large-scale ecological project in the White Sea. The project was implemented jointly with the non-governmental development institute Innopraktika, with participation from Moscow State University’s Marine Research Centre, Moscow State University’s Faculty of Biology, St Petersburg State University, the P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and the Biotechnology Campus Centre for Whole Genome Sequencing.

The research, which began in 2023, comprised two field seasons aboard the research vessels Kartesh and Professor Zenkevich, as well as unique laboratory work. Project participants retraced the route of expeditions conducted between 1922 and 1926 by the prominent Soviet hydrobiologist Konstantin Deryugin, who provided detailed descriptions of the White Sea’s flora and fauna.

Rosneft’s project aims to analyse century-long changes in the region’s marine ecosystems using both Deryugin’s methods and modern technologies, whilst assessing the impact of natural and anthropogenic factors on Arctic ecology.  This information is essential for long-term planning of sustainable development in Russia’s north.

At a press briefing, scientists shared preliminary findings. Specialists concluded that the White Sea ecosystem remains stable,  allowing the region to serve as a reference point for comparison with other Arctic territories.

However, the research revealed insufficient understanding of Arctic marine fauna: up to 30 per cent of species retain uncertain taxonomic status, indicating considerable work remains in revising the fauna of Arctic seas.  Nevertheless, specialists succeeded in describing species new to science.

Scientists employed both traditional hydrobiology equipment and cutting-edge instruments and innovative technologies. They surveyed the White Sea floor using remotely operated unmanned underwater vehicles and conducted molecular genetic analysis of discovered organisms.  For this work, they deployed the world’s only DNA sequencer located beyond the Arctic Circle.

Rosneft has partnered with the Russian Traveler Awards 2025 to establish a new category, “Auto-Tourism: Russian Horizons.” Award ceremony for winners and runners-up held in Moscow.

Russian Horizons” category was specifically tailored for independent travelers who chart their routes through Rosneft’s filling station network.

Rosneft is actively promoting the development of domestic tourism and is building its “Russian Horizons: Come with us”, a digital platform offering ready-made routes and the ability to design your own trips based on Rosneft’s road infrastructure. Since 2023, the Company, in collaboration with its partners, has already introduced over 50 routes spanning 24 regions of the country.

Following a public vote, the winner of the Rosneft category was the “From Central Russia to the Heart of Parma” route. The journey takes travelers from the Tambov region to the Perm region, visiting the locations that served as the natural film sets for the feature film The Heart of Parma.

Spanning a total distance of 4,400 km, the route passes through Ulyanovsk, Solikamsk, Perm, and Izhevsk, encompassing dozens of local attractions and natural, historical, and architectural monuments. Rosneft presented a special prize for this unique itinerary to the family of Sergey Forofontov, a first responder from Tambov.

For the fourth consecutive year, the Russian Traveler Awards have recognized the country’s leading achievements in tourism. The awards aim to highlight Russia’s most compelling offerings, from iconic landmarks and unique travel routes to authentic traditions and vibrant festivals. The initiative helps redefine the Russian tourism map and encourages the discovery of new destinations.

RN-Vankor, part of Rosneft’s oil and gas production complex, has commissioned a 110/35/10 kV Tagul substation with a capacity of 2х63 MVA. The facility will ensure reliable power supply to sites at the Tagulskoye field, which is part part of the Vankor cluster.

Power is supplied to Tagul from the 150 MW Polyarnaya gas turbine power station at the Vankor field. A 110 kV transmission line spanning more than 70 km has been built to connect the power station with the Tagul substation.

Construction of the substation was accelerated through the installation of prefabricated structures.  The building contains power transformers, enclosed switchgear for 35 kV and 10 kV, and is equipped with a control centre.

The domestic engineering solutions applied at the Tagul substation have been proven by the successful operation of the Vankor energy complex in Far North conditions. The switchgear design remains operational even if individual components fail, enhancing overall reliability of power supply to the field’s oil production facilities.

Tagul is the eighth 110 kV substation at the Vankor cluster fields. Two further similar substations are in the final stages of installation. The total length of overhead power transmission lines already exceeds 1,900 km.  The largest substation, Vankor, with a capacity of 250 MVA, connects the Vankor energy district to the country’s Unified Energy System.

Rosneft and the Ministry of Entrepreneurship and Tourism of the Republic of Bashkortostan presented a winter car route called “The Mountains Are Calling!”.

The route was presented at Bashneft filling stations in Ufa (Rosneft subsidiary). Company representatives, professional skiers and tourism and hospitality experts told about the locations and programme of the route, which combines active winter sports, family entertainment and visits to protected areas.

Rosneft is committed to the development of domestic tourism and aims to create comfortable conditions for car travellers. One of Rosneft’s key objectives is to enhance the quality of its roadside assistance and customer service at its filling stations.

The car route runs from Ufa to the slopes of the Southern Urals for around 500 kilometres. There are 16 Bashneft filling stations along the route at an optimal distance. At filling stations, travellers can fill up their cars with guaranteed-quality fuel and enjoy a comfortable rest in the café. They can also purchase goods needed for their journey, including locally produced items.

Mount Malinovaya is the first point of interest. Its peaks and snow-covered slopes are popular with snowboarders and skiers. The location is popular throughout the year. The mountain is regarded as one of the accessible “thousanders” and there are designated routes for hiking ascents.

The next stop on the route is the Mratkino ski centre, which is located close to Beloretsk. The modern artificial snowmaking system provides optimal skiing conditions from November to mid-April. The resort has slopes of various difficulty levels, suitable for both beginner and professional skiers and snowboarders. The centre’s infrastructure offers a variety of opportunities for family recreation.

The Abzakovo ski resort is known for its well-developed advanced infrastructure, making it the perfect place to continue an active holiday. The resort has various pistes that together span a total length of 18 kilometres. The slopes offer picturesque panoramic views of the Ural Mountains. The ski season here starts in November and runs until May.

The next destination on the route is the Yaky-Kul mountain lake. The Bannoye ski centre is located on the coastline. The resort offers guests the opportunity to ski on nine slopes, which have a total length of around 10 kilometres. To ensure a comfortable ascent to the Yamankaya Ridge, a high-speed gondola lift operates on the slope.

The route offers visitors the opportunity to explore another attraction: the Kuzhanovskiye Larches, a botanical natural monument of regional importance. The youngest larch is 65 years old, while the oldest is around 160 years old. The larches have an unusual dense oval crown and are distinctive in the surrounding mixed forests.

A tour to the White Healer multi-breed kennel is the perfect way to finish the journey. There will be lectures from kinologists on the secrets of dog breeding, and guests will be able to play with puppies.

The “The Mountains Are Calling!” car route is the fourth tourist project developed by Rosneft in collaboration with the Ministry of Entrepreneurship and Tourism of the Republic of Bashkortostan. As part of the Russian Horizons project, the Power of Nature interregional route opened in 2024, followed by the Pavlovskaya Roundabout and the Kama Necklace in 2025.
