00:00:00The authorities of the Islamic Republic have not yet decided
00:00:02to withdraw from the nuclear non-proliferation treaty,
00:00:06however, as stated in Tehran, the actions of the USA and Israel
00:00:10allow Iran to withdraw from
00:00:12the agreement.
00:00:16In Germany, state elections will start in the coming hours
00:00:19in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Berlin. They could become
00:00:22a turning point for the ruling coalition and its leader Friedrich
00:00:25Merz personally. The CDU risks showing the worst result in
00:00:29history. It could even lose
00:00:30the chancellor's chair, while the far-right Alternative for
00:00:34Germany strengthens its position. Bloomberg predicts
00:00:37an open rebellion among Merz's party members
00:00:40in case of a painful defeat. If we are to believe the latest polls, in
00:00:44Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the CDU will be able to get
00:00:47a maximum of 6%. In the capital, the struggle is much
00:00:50tighter. There, Merz and his party have a slightly
00:00:54better chance of overcoming
00:00:56the five-percent barrier.
00:01:06This is the Senate. In the studio, Georgy Podgorny. Here, we talk about decisions that are
00:01:10made in the interests of the citizens of a great country. In this
00:01:13issue: State priority, assistance to SVO soldiers.
00:01:17Valentina Matvienko participated in the opening of a unique prosthetics
00:01:20center in Tula. A network of such comprehensive centers
00:01:24is being developed throughout the country
00:01:27at the direction of President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.
00:01:31Another point on the speaker's business trip map is the naval hospital in
00:01:35Makhachkala. Direct dialogue with soldiers helps to quickly solve
00:01:39their problems. We have about 10 additional bills
00:01:42already prepared, which
00:01:45were born from the proposals of the SVO participant. In
00:01:49Russia, it's a single election day. Together with the senator,
00:01:52we figure out how percentages are converted into
00:01:55parliamentary seats. Two stages
00:01:57of distribution.
00:01:59significance
00:02:30The network of cultural and leisure institutions of the club type is
00:02:34the most massive institution in the sphere of culture in our
00:02:36country. Dagestan is the most multi-ethnic republic
00:02:40in the country, rich in folk crafts and traditions. Senators
00:02:43are working to preserve this heritage. Dagestan
00:02:47is a kind of miniature of the Russian
00:02:50Federation, where the magnificence of each
00:02:53nationality is united by the great people
00:02:55of Russia. Attention to the participants of the special military
00:02:59operation remains the main state task, Valentina Matvienko said at the opening
00:03:02of a unique prosthetics center
00:03:06in Tula. Soldiers can go through the entire path to recovery in one
00:03:10place, from the first reception to the creation of an individual prosthesis, to a full
00:03:14return to peaceful life. The medical institution was created by the federal center
00:03:18for innovation in traumatology and orthopedics of the state corporation
00:03:21Rostec, together with the Defenders of the Fatherland Foundation. A network
00:03:24of such complex centers, at the instruction of our President
00:03:28Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin,
00:03:31is developing throughout Russia,
00:03:34so that it is convenient for the guys, so that they don't
00:03:38have to go to Moscow to get a prosthesis,
00:03:41so that it can be done at their place of residence. The
00:03:45Tula center, which is opening today, is one
00:03:49of the most modern and best.
00:03:52For the Federation Council, assistance to veterans is one of the key areas of work.
00:03:56The Council for Disabled Persons works under the chamber. Senators regularly visit
00:03:59the regions to personally monitor how the system of medical
00:04:03support and assistance is built. It was within the walls of the Upper House in December
00:04:07last year that an agreement was signed on the creation
00:04:10of the Tula Center. In just 9 months, the regional authorities
00:04:13completely renovated the building, purchased high-tech equipment,
00:04:17and assembled a team of the best doctors. More about
00:04:20the work of the new medical institution and plans for scaling this experience
00:04:24in the report of our colleague, special correspondent, Alexey
00:04:28Mak. Losing both legs is a
00:04:31sentence for some, but for SVO veteran Evgeny Ivanov, a native of the Tula region,
00:04:35it was just a starting point. The path to recovery was
00:04:38difficult: long treatment first in a hospital in Donetsk, then in Rostov,
00:04:42now rehabilitation in Tula. But Evgeny never allowed
00:04:45circumstances to break him, even in a hospital bed, he didn't give
00:04:49himself any slack. On the fifth day, I asked the doctor, "Where's
00:04:52your gym?" He looked at me and said, "Are you sick or something? Your
00:04:56legs were torn off, you were bleeding, what gym?" Well, while he turned away.
00:05:04Evgeny admits that it was sports that pulled him out of depression, helped
00:05:07him find new meaning in life. He seriously took up strength
00:05:10training, began to participate.
00:05:43With the support of the Hero 71 Center,
00:05:46I trained to be a physical education teacher, an adaptive sports coach.
00:05:49Now, the guys,
00:05:52veterans, the gym is opening now, they will
00:05:56come to the gym, for our youth, for children, you
00:05:59are heroes, they will be drawn to you. It's great to return to a
00:06:03full life, play sports, find yourself in a new business.
00:06:06Complex bionic prostheses are needed. Each device is made
00:06:10individually, then the patient undergoes...
00:06:15A few years ago, such prosthetics were available only in
00:06:18large hospitals in several cities of the country. The opening of such a
00:06:21large center here in my city is very
00:06:25convenient, very great, I think it solves a huge
00:06:28number of problems, both convenience of
00:06:32getting there, as well as financial. 400 million rubles were invested
00:06:35in the construction of the center. Now residents of Tula, Ryazan, Oryol, and
00:06:39Kaluga regions will be able to receive help here.
00:07:12adaptive physical culture, an ergotherapy room where patients with
00:07:16amputations are taught to perform familiar everyday actions. The physical
00:07:20therapy room is equipped with a biofeedback apparatus. First,
00:07:23we test the patient, their initial capabilities, and
00:07:27then, subsequently, for rehabilitation, we
00:07:30retest several times to see the results,
00:07:33whether they are positive or negative, and we adjust
00:07:36accordingly. Actually, on the screen,
00:07:40our soldier's primary indicator is shown. Yes, what we measure,
00:07:43yes, here we measure the length of the step, the width
00:07:47of the step, and the
00:07:51body weight on the leg or prosthesis. Rehabilitation takes place
00:07:54in a game mode. In a few seconds, the track can turn into a sea
00:07:57coast, where you need to step on stars, working out the motor skills of your legs,
00:08:01or a football field. Rehabilitation classes in the center take place
00:08:05in the corridor. Here, a special suspended
00:08:08unloading device was installed. This is necessary for the patient's adaptation to'.
00:08:42central to the agenda of the Speaker of the Federation Council, so during her visit to Dagestan,
00:08:46Valentina Matvienko visited the naval hospital in
00:08:50Makhachkala. The modern medical complex opened in October last
00:08:54year. Many doctors themselves went through the SVO and know the specifics
00:08:57of working with wounded soldiers. The Speaker inspected the operating
00:09:00rooms, wards, the physical therapy room, and, of course, spoke with
00:09:04the men undergoing rehabilitation after
00:09:07injuries. Who is waiting at home?
00:09:09My girlfriend. My father. Do you have a girlfriend?
00:09:12Are you in contact with her? Good, she
00:09:16supports you. When will you get married? Later,
00:09:19when I recover, yes, so that I can dance at the wedding.
00:09:22And where are you from? Ulyanovsk region. Ulyanovsk
00:09:26region. Well, you see, the whole country is represented, all
00:09:29regions. Such direct dialogue with soldiers helps to quickly
00:09:33solve their problems, Valentina Matvienko emphasized at a meeting with
00:09:36the heads of Dagestani organizations that provide assistance
00:09:39to military personnel and their families. The head of the Federation Council noted
00:09:43that parliamentarians have already adopted more than 200 federal laws in this
00:09:46area, and the work continues. For the autumn
00:09:50session, we have about 10 additional bills prepared,
00:09:54which were
00:09:58born from the proposals
00:10:01of SVO participants. And I think that during our meeting,
00:10:05if additional wishes and proposals
00:10:08are expressed by your side, we will also take them into account when
00:10:12finalizing the laws. For attention to the needs of military personnel, Valentina Matvienko
00:10:16was thanked by the interim head of
00:10:19the region, Fyodor Shchukin. According to him, the visits of senators to the republic always
00:10:22yield concrete results. The previous visit
00:10:26to Kaspiysk, a meeting with families of SVO participants,
00:10:29then immediately in
00:10:31the practical sphere, led to
00:10:35legislative initiatives,
00:10:37changes regarding the payment of double
00:10:40pensions, regarding the possibility of providing for other
00:10:43categories of family members. That is, this is your special attention
00:10:47personally and the Federation Council
00:10:49to these most urgent and
00:10:52fundamental issues.
00:10:56The Federation Council will continue to help the republic, especially since Dagestan
00:11:00is currently going through a difficult period. In spring, a large-scale
00:11:03flood caused serious damage to infrastructure and residential buildings.
00:11:07At the same time, Fyodor Shchukin, according to the speaker, managed to deeply immerse
00:11:11himself in the region's problems and
00:11:14establish clear priorities in just 4 months in office. Under your leadership,
00:11:17your team is actively engaged in restoring infrastructure,
00:11:21social facilities, helping citizens.
00:11:35restoration of housing where possible, and providing housing certificates where housing has been completely destroyed. The Speaker of the Federation Council emphasized that Dagestan is a unique region with
00:11:39enormous potential, economic and
00:11:41investment. But its main resource is people. Everything must
00:11:45be done to ensure that the working-age population and youth remain
00:11:48in the region.
00:11:52We will return to Valentina Matvienko's working trip to
00:11:55Dagestan. Now the main news of the week, Election
00:11:59Day. Russians are determining the composition of the State
00:12:02Duma of the ninth convocation. Residents of eight regions - Mordovia, Tyva,
00:12:06Chechnya, as well as Belgorod, Bryansk, Tver, Penza, and Ulyanovsk
00:12:10regions - will elect the heads of their constituent entities. In Dagestan,
00:12:13Karachay-Cherkessia, and North Ossetia, the heads of the republics will be approved by
00:12:17local legislators. In total, the composition of
00:12:2039 regional parliaments will be updated across the country,
00:12:24as well as dozens of district and village councils. In
00:12:28total, over 2,000 election campaigns are being held in Russia, the results of which
00:12:31will determine the fate of 20,000 elected
00:12:35positions. Valentina Matvienko, the Chairwoman of the Federation Council, called the elections to the State
00:12:38Duma a very important political event. She voted in
00:12:42St. Petersburg. This is the region she represents in the upper house
00:12:45of parliament. During a conversation with journalists, the speaker
00:12:48stressed that the elections are taking place in a difficult time. Russia is fighting
00:12:52enemies who are trying to break it up and are doing everything to disrupt
00:12:55and discredit the expression of will. That is why it is even more important
00:12:58for all Russians to come to the polling stations, Valentina
00:13:02Matvienko added. Every vote will definitely be
00:13:05counted, and the way our electoral system
00:13:08is organized, we have been fine-tuning
00:13:12and improving it over the past years. It is the most
00:13:15democratic, transparent.
00:13:18And the legitimacy of future government bodies
00:13:22that are being elected these days will largely depend
00:13:25on how many citizens come, what the turnout will be. Across Russia,
00:13:28about 50 thousand polling stations have opened. Another
00:13:32300 are operating abroad. By law, the number of voting days
00:13:35is set by election commissions, and they have the right
00:13:38to designate one, two, or three days. Electronic voting
00:13:42is possible in 33 regions. The Vice-Speaker of the Federation Council,
00:13:45Senator from Moscow, Inna Svyatenko, also appreciated the convenience of digital services.
00:13:49She voted online directly from her workplace.
00:13:52For metropolitan residents registered on...
00:14:25someone helped someone log in to
00:14:29public services in order to also
00:14:32vote electronically. On Sakhalin, remote voting
00:14:36has not yet been launched, so Senator Andrey Khapochkin
00:14:39from the region voted in person. format was chosen by Senator from the Moscow
00:14:42region, Alexander Dvoinykh. He voted at a polling station in
00:14:46Domodedovo. In the region this year, the composition of both the State Duma
00:14:50and the Moscow Regional Duma are being elected. From the work of the federal
00:14:52parliament, from the work.
00:15:08Russian electoral legislation has been evolving along with the country
00:15:12for 35 years now. It promptly responds to new challenges.
00:15:15For example, in May, a law was adopted on strict regulation of the use
00:15:19of artificial intelligence in election campaigning. But it relies on
00:15:23fundamental, proven mechanisms, including a mixed
00:15:27electoral system for elections to the State Duma, introduced back in
00:15:301993. How does this system
00:15:34work? 450 seats in the lower house of parliament are divided
00:15:38exactly in half: 225 deputies are elected in
00:15:41single-mandate constituencies. The country is divided into districts with approximately
00:15:44equal numbers of voters. The specific candidate
00:15:48who receives a simple majority of votes wins. The remaining
00:15:51225 mandates are distributed among parties according to
00:15:55a single federal list. This is a nationwide
00:15:58ballot. To enter parliament, a party must
00:16:01overcome the five-percent barrier. But how stable
00:16:05is this system? More details from Sergey.
00:16:11Nikolaevich, in Russia, as you know, there is a mixed electoral system. Half of the parliament
00:16:15is elected from specific candidates, the second half is distributed among parties
00:16:19that have overcome the barrier. How are percentages converted into
00:16:23seats? Can you please elaborate on this math? It's very simple: a proportional
00:16:26majoritarian system,
00:16:29everything that concerns single-mandate constituencies, the candidate who
00:16:33gets the maximum number of votes becomes the winner, as for
00:16:36the... The Upper
00:18:12House of Parliament, the Federation Council, is a house of regions. How
00:18:16does this order of things help in legislative work,
00:18:19helping, so to speak, to find
00:18:22a compromise and the right solution when a particular
00:18:25initiative is being developed. The Lower House - 450 deputies - is
00:18:28a political reactor, a melting pot,
00:18:32political factions, battles, discussion of very
00:18:35significant issues for the country, and the
00:18:38Upper House, the Federation Council, is a political system that allows for maintaining
00:18:42balance. After all, it is very important that the House of Regions,
00:18:45understanding how life happens on the ground. In Kaliningrad, it's one
00:18:49algorithm of interaction between government and budget saturation, in
00:18:52Vladivostok, it's another. So, finding these balances, such
00:18:56a very objective assessment of the decisions
00:18:59being made, taking into account regional specifics, it happens
00:19:03precisely here in the Federation Council. This is a house, if you will, of common
00:19:07sense,
00:19:13and objective decisions, which can always say, "No, guys,
00:19:17let's create a conciliation commission and once again look deeply into the law, its financial, regional, federal provision, and the consequences it will have for the regions."
00:19:21This, I think, is a very balanced, very
00:19:24objectively good system, which is
00:19:27precisely the Federal Assembly. And how will the current electoral process
00:19:31affect the senatorial corps? There will be renewal,
00:19:34there will be renewal. This year, we have
00:19:3811 governors being elected or
00:19:41reconfirming their powers. Each governor has the right
00:19:44to appoint a senator who will
00:19:47represent the region, and 39 regional
00:19:51legislative assemblies are also being elected. That is, in
00:19:54total, this is 50 senators who
00:19:57must, to one degree or another, reconfirm their powers.
00:20:00Let's wait for the election results, let's wait for the
00:20:04decisions that will be made by governors and regional...
00:20:45It is completely based on domestic component and software. This is the first thing. Second, the blockchain system is used. As soon as you enter the
00:20:49system, a unique
00:20:52identifier is assigned. Your personal data and
00:20:55identifier data are separated. The encryption
00:20:59key remains only with you, that is, this public encryption
00:21:03key that allows you, as an voter, to track in the public
00:21:07system how your ballot was counted in this
00:21:10electronic system, even if the session is disconnected,
00:21:14even if there are interruptions in data
00:21:18transmission over the Internet, your identifier will protect
00:21:21your vote. That is, the system is built in such a way,
00:21:25cryptographically protected, that you don't have to worry about anything, and it cannot be rewritten.
00:21:29No one can peek, rewrite, or look into it. These
00:21:33are absolutely protected
00:21:34algorithms.
00:21:38The new parliamentary season in the Federation Council began with important international
00:21:42meetings, including the visit of Vietnamese President To Lam. The Speaker
00:21:46of the House, Valentina Matvienko, called the republic the closest, most reliable, and...
00:22:20will be another important
00:22:22milestone in the development of our comprehensive
00:22:26strategic partnership and
00:22:28will give a powerful impetus to political,
00:22:32practical cooperation in all areas. Separately,
00:22:35the speaker focused on inter-parliamentary cooperation with
00:22:38the Chairman of the National Assembly of Vietnam, Chan Hongman.
00:22:42According to her, constructive relations have been built. This helps to legislatively
00:22:45support the agreements reached at the highest
00:22:48level.
00:23:20All materials of our program can be found on the Senate channel on Max. Now
00:23:24for commercials, and after that, about how drones will change the sky in the Far East.
00:27:25We will return with victory. We need to talk about it, people cling to
00:27:27it,
00:27:32to this love. I encourage you, I shake your hand, but my friend,
00:27:35it's dangerous, you might sing and not return. Sometimes you need to set
00:27:39aside your worries, for the sake of life, for the sake of victory. Today, when someone comes
00:27:43to me, I tell the whole truth, I say, this is hell, we don't get out of the training grounds,
00:27:47we fight for hearts, all your
00:27:50problems, all your bad thoughts, you leave them behind
00:27:53the scenes. We stood for our land and we will stand
00:27:57for our
00:27:57land.
00:28:06This is the Senate, and here's what we'll discuss next. Packages from
00:28:09Russia to China and vice versa, delivered by drones. The Federation
00:28:13Council is working on a project that will connect our countries
00:28:17with drones. We will need to lay two routes.
00:28:20The first route will pass through the air, the second
00:28:24in legislation.
00:28:26The House of Regions proposes to develop a national concept for the development of rural
00:28:30clubs and cultural centers. They are confident that this is a matter
00:28:34of federal importance. The network of cultural and leisure institutions
00:28:37of the club type is the most massive institution in the sphere of culture in our
00:28:41country. Dagestan is the most multinational republic
00:28:45in the country, rich in folk crafts and traditions. Senators
00:28:48are working to preserve this heritage. Dagestan
00:28:51is a unique miniature of the Russian
00:28:55Federation, where the splendor of each
00:28:57nationality unites the great peoples
00:29:00of Russia. The Federation Council is preparing laws that will change
00:29:04life in the Far East from January 1st. Businesses will receive uniform
00:29:07tax benefits, and breakthrough technologies will be
00:29:11implemented faster. The documents are being developed at the instruction of the President,
00:29:14which he gave on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic
00:29:17Forum. Senators traditionally participate in this event, because
00:29:21it is often there that initiatives for the development
00:29:24of the macro-region are born. One of the main tasks set by the head of state in
00:29:28early September is to finalize the draft law on a single
00:29:31preferential regime for the entire
00:29:34Far East and the Arctic. From January 1st,
00:29:38benefits will be tied not to geographical points, but to types of
00:29:42Putin called for very careful attention to the text of the document. It is important that
00:29:46new and existing preferences complement
00:29:49each other, rather than contradict each other. And that there is no double
00:29:52taxation. Another complex legal mechanism that
00:29:55will come into effect on January 1st is a special regime for rapid and
00:29:59unhindered testing of new technologies,
00:30:03primarily drones in the civilian sector. I draw
00:30:06the attention of my colleagues: we need to ensure that
00:30:09testing technological solutions and applying them in
00:30:13real life is as convenient as possible, without
00:30:17going through offices and numerous approvals.
00:30:21There's a huge space here, it's
00:30:23easier to do it all here, and it's necessary
00:30:26for the Far East to become a testing ground for
00:30:30new solutions. Senators are systematically working on
00:30:33legislative support for such innovations. In summer, the Federation Council approved a law simplifying
00:30:37the launch of experimental legal regimes across the country, including
00:30:41in areas where regulation is still completely absent. This is especially
00:30:45important for drone testing. Currently, parliamentarians are finalizing norms
00:30:48specifically for the regions of the Far East to implement
00:30:52the President's instructions. How will these rules help increase
00:30:55harvests, extinguish fires, and establish cargo transportation with China? In
00:30:59the report of my colleague, Oksana Podturkina. In
00:31:02Balashikha, just a few kilometers from Moscow, drones are being assembled that are capable
00:31:06of changing the future of domestic agriculture. The Arshin agrodron of
00:31:09multi-rotor type is already ready to work in the fields. Its tank holds
00:31:13about 30 liters of useful liquid, from fertilizers and plant protection
00:31:17products to compounds that combat ticks
00:31:20and hogweed. But this drone also has another
00:31:23profile, an ecological one. If, for example, oil spills
00:31:27into the sea, Arshin will spray a special solution to remove
00:31:30the film. However, to get such a machine into the sky, the manufacturer needs not only
00:31:34engineering thought, but also permits. Any drone heavier than
00:31:3730 kg is legally equated to large aircraft, must undergo
00:31:41certification, a procedure costing tens of millions of rubles. This...
00:32:05equipment and bring it to the market for legitimate use. For
00:32:08Arshin's certification, every parameter of its operation had to be confirmed
00:32:12by real flights. A few years ago, this took.
00:33:15back in 2024 was launched at the regional level in
00:33:18Sakhalin Oblast, where drones were allowed to be freely tested, in parallel.
00:33:22on the island, a navigation system for such aircraft is being tested; it does not
00:33:26yet exist in Russia. Our drones fly every
00:33:29day; we even have a so-called droneport,
00:33:32officially established as the first in the Russian Federation. Thus,
00:33:36each of our drones, like a car on
00:33:39the street, has what is called a
00:33:42first name, middle name, and last name. Travelers in Sakhalin
00:33:45record blockages on rivers and unauthorized dumps, monitor
00:33:48order in the taiga, deliver medicines to remote areas, which is very important for
00:33:52these places, and monitor forest
00:33:53fires.
00:33:57The TP-16 aircraft-type drone replaces a manned
00:34:00aircraft; the drone is launched directly from the road. Its second advantage is
00:34:03its operational capability of 5 hours of continuous flight without any
00:34:06communication. It transmits the image instantly and independently
00:34:10processes most of the information, freeing the operator from excessive
00:34:13workload. Moreover, through software, it will determine for
00:34:17you, taking into account the wind direction, where
00:34:20the fire will go and its level of localization. The Far East is ideal for testing
00:34:24drone technologies: long distances, low population
00:34:27density, fewer safety restrictions, and China is nearby.
00:34:31Cargo transportation between the two countries using drones could become a new
00:34:35stage in the development of trade and economic ties. At the Eastern Economic
00:34:38Forum, Vladimir Putin announced the start of a Russian-Chinese project
00:34:42for unmanned logistics at low altitudes. Its development...
00:35:15night service. The launch of a special legal regime for
00:35:18drones in the Far East from January 1, 2027,
00:35:22will transform the Russian-Chinese border into one of the most technologically advanced
00:35:25logistics corridors in Eurasia. But in the remaining months, many
00:35:29issues need to be resolved, from insurance and infrastructure to lifting
00:35:32prohibitions and distributing responsibility between the manufacturer, owner, and
00:35:36drone dispatcher. And when all these tasks are resolved, drones
00:35:40will become a familiar part of the sky over the Far East, and in a few
00:35:43years, all of Russia.
00:35:51Unmanned technologies are actively being adopted by farmers in the Samara
00:35:54region. Governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev spoke about this at a meeting with Valentina
00:35:57Matvienko. According to him, a third of agricultural fields are already being cultivated
00:36:00by drones, which accurately determine where fertilizer needs to be applied.
00:36:04The grain harvest reached 3 million tons, higher than last
00:36:08year. Our farmers do not stop. Recently, a week
00:36:11ago, we met with the largest producers. Now, it's seed time,
00:36:15then we will soon come to the KAZIM. Everyone has
00:36:18opportunities, everyone is provided with proposed to conduct such
00:36:22an experiment. In the Moscow fuel and lubricants for agricultural
00:36:26workers.
00:36:57networks and computer programs. This allowed to increase
00:37:00labor productivity, reduce staff by 20% and not save
00:37:04on the main expenditure items, support for SVO
00:37:07participants, social policy, healthcare. The regional
00:37:11budget for 2027 will be balanced,
00:37:14added Vyacheslav Fedorichev. Small residents
00:37:17of Chechnya were able to receive consultations from leading
00:37:20cardiologists of the country without leaving the republic. A cardio
00:37:23raid, "Children's Heart of the Caucasus", was held in the region. This is a joint project
00:37:27of the Federation Council and the Bakulev Center. The action was launched
00:37:31by the Vice-Speaker of the chamber, Ina Svitenko. Moscow doctors examined more than 500
00:37:35children who are registered with cardiologists. Those who needed
00:37:38in-depth research were sent to the capital's center for high-tech
00:37:42medical care. A scientific and practical conference
00:37:46dedicated to childhood morbidity was also held in
00:37:49Grozny. Inna Svitenko spoke about the role of
00:37:52cardio raids. Only last year, the mobile
00:37:56brigades of the center made more than
00:37:59500 visits, among them
00:38:0369 visits were specifically
00:38:06related to children's health,
00:38:10during this, thousands of patients
00:38:13were consulted, and moreover, in the most
00:38:16remote corners of our
00:38:19great country. Inna Svetenko added that thanks to such projects,
00:38:22the Federation Council can monitor cardiovascular morbidity in
00:38:26the regions. This is important for accurate resource allocation and
00:38:30the development of new support measures specifically for those territories where the need
00:38:33for qualified medical care is highest. And now,
00:38:37briefly about other events. Senator from
00:38:40Ulyanovsk region Airat Gebaddinov checked the construction of a new
00:38:44infectious disease building for the regional children's clinical hospital. It has
00:38:47been under construction for 5 years. Previously, there was a serious delay
00:38:51from the schedule. But, as the parliamentarian noted, there is now
00:38:54confidence that the medical facility will open by the end of the year. Builders
00:38:58are completing the installation of engineering systems, window installation, and finishing
00:39:01of premises. Simultaneously, the purchase of necessary medical
00:39:04equipment is underway so that the hospital can immediately receive
00:39:07patients. Large families will be able to automatically confirm
00:39:11their status when ordering a taxi and receive bonuses, discounts, and
00:39:15other support measures. This experiment was launched by the Ministry of Transport.
00:39:18The main goal is to make children in taxis not a burden for
00:39:21the carrier, but welcome passengers, as noted by
00:39:24the department. Recall that Valentina Matvienko drew attention to the high
00:39:27tariffs in this category. She noted that the price of
00:39:31transportation in a taxi with children is many times higher than usual, and the
00:39:34waiting time reaches half an hour. Senators appealed to the Ministry of Transport with a request
00:39:38to solve the problem, and the department
00:39:41district of Maryana, a traditional
00:39:45chess tournament for the Sergey Karyakin Cup was held. The senator and grandmaster
00:39:48annually gathers several hundred chess enthusiasts, both
00:39:52adults and children. To support her colleague, the Vice-Speaker of the Federation
00:39:55Council, Senator from Moscow, Inna Svetenko, arrived. After the final games,
00:39:59they discussed with the participants the development of chess in
00:40:02the country. Sergey Karyakin is confident that the foundation of success is
00:40:06mass classes for children, and only then is targeted
00:40:09support for the most talented needed. Incidentally, the senator also provides such assistance
00:40:13personally, by paying a nominal scholarship to young
00:40:16chess players.
00:40:19The development of a network of rural clubs and cultural centers should become a federal
00:40:23issue. The Chamber of Regions proposes to develop a national
00:40:27for institutions of this type. The initiative will be submitted to
00:40:31a meeting of the State Council under the chairmanship of
00:40:34the President. The topic of the meeting will for the first time be the preservation and
00:40:38development of the country's historical and cultural heritage. With a request
00:40:41to hold such a large-scale discussion, Valentina Matvienko addressed
00:40:45the head of state. In the upper house of parliament, cultural
00:40:48heritage is considered a matter of strategic importance. And
00:40:52it needs to be addressed not only in large scientific institutes and federal
00:40:55museums, but in every village and small town, because it is at
00:40:59the local level that it is determined whether traditions will be preserved
00:41:02or become a thing of the past. The Federation Council is preparing a whole package
00:41:05of breakthrough initiatives for the State Council meeting. We will
00:41:08talk about them with the chairperson of the relevant committee of the Chamber, Lilya
00:41:12Gumerova. Lilya Salavatovna. At the State Council meeting,
00:41:15you plan to discuss the concept of activity of cultural and leisure
00:41:18institutions of the club type. What key provisions do you
00:41:21propose to include in it? Yes, indeed, the network
00:41:25of cultural and leisure institutions of culture,
00:42:10institutions, without a doubt, is the modernization
00:42:13of infrastructure, an analysis of the condition of club
00:42:18what else needs to be done for their
00:42:21re-equipment, it is staff training, but
00:42:24a very important direction is the activity of the club
00:42:28institutions themselves, so that they are not only consumers
00:42:31of content, but also develop volunteer movements,
00:42:35so that they begin to participate in grant programs, this
00:42:38is all very.
00:43:11but it is also, of course, an analysis of the infrastructure.
00:43:15The issues of equipping our secondary vocational
00:43:18educational institutions in the field of arts with musical instruments
00:43:22remain relevant. Our club
00:43:25institutions. Our folk ensembles, which are located
00:43:28in rural and urban cultural centers, also spoke
00:43:32of such a need. In recent years, the Federation Council has systematically
00:43:35been engaged in the development of legislation in the field of cultural heritage protection.
00:43:39Can we say that the framework
00:43:42is already fully built, or are some additional
00:43:45measures needed? Yes, indeed, many of our
00:43:48legislative initiatives have become laws.
00:43:52These are special approaches to cultural heritage objects that
00:43:55are apartment buildings. A special information
00:43:59platform has appeared where information for
00:44:02investors is collected about cultural heritage objects that
00:44:05need restoration and reconstruction. But
00:44:08there are still many issues that need to be
00:44:12resolved, but first of all, we have already
00:44:15developed a bill, it has been submitted to
00:44:18the State Duma, on assigning DOM.RF
00:44:21the status of an agent for regions
00:44:25and municipalities when carrying out work on the preservation
00:44:28and restoration of cultural heritage objects, since
00:44:32not all regions today have enough competence to
00:44:36clearly and promptly carry out these procedures.
00:44:40Also a very popular initiative on
00:44:43optimizing economic work
00:44:46during the restoration of cultural heritage objects, in order
00:44:49to preserve them in proper condition during construction
00:44:52work. These initiatives are also
00:44:55already in the State
00:44:58Duma.
00:45:01The preservation of cultural heritage was another topic of Valentina Matvienko's
00:45:05working trip to Dagestan. The speaker visited the site
00:45:08of the international festival "Keepers of Traditions". It gathered masters from
00:45:1218 regions of Russia and four neighboring countries.
00:45:15Dagestan is the most multinational republic in the country. And
00:45:19here, dozens of unique crafts have been developing for centuries. This
00:45:23wealth cannot be lost, emphasized Valentina
00:45:26Matvienko. The speaker noted that in recent years, state support
00:45:30for the sector has grown, and enterprises and
00:45:33subsidies, but this is not enough yet. The Chairperson of the Federation
00:45:36Council proposed expanding the possibilities of targeted training.
00:47:22carpet weaving. Here, during the exhibition tour, Valentina Matvienko
00:47:25met old acquaintances.
00:47:27Hello.
00:47:31Hello, yes, hello, hello, I'm glad to see you all. The speaker of the
00:47:34Federation Council met the young craftswoman Sevgelimzhibraimova 4 years
00:47:38ago during her previous visit to Dagestan. Since then, they have been in touch.
00:47:41The girl is honing her skills with her mother and dreams of opening
00:47:45her own carpet weaving school. Other ancient crafts are also on the rise in Dagestan.
00:47:48Burka and papakha, for example, attracted the attention of the acting...
00:48:12with golden national embroidery, embroidered with floral patterns, scarves, and dresses are in demand far beyond the republic. Folk motifs are gaining popularity among designers and those who follow
00:48:15fashion. First of all, we need to show it, we need to
00:48:18promote it, and we are doing everything for that. I already said, there is
00:48:22a separate professional day now, there is a government
00:48:26award, they will wear them with pleasure,
00:48:29you have already seen them appearing in kokoshniks, yes, in
00:48:33Russian. Dagestani women, of course,
00:48:36will wear their products. State support
00:48:40for crafts is also growing, Valentina Matvienko noted. In
00:48:432026, funding for this sector from the federal
00:48:46budget doubled and reached 2 billion rubles. For
00:48:49multinational Dagestan, this is especially important. Craft here
00:48:53is not only the basis of tourism, but a key element of intercultural
00:48:57harmony. It is unity in diversity. And in this,
00:49:01perhaps, Dagestan is
00:49:04a peculiar miniature of the Russian
00:49:08Federation, where the splendor
00:49:12of each nationality unites
00:49:15the great people of Russia. An integral part of culture, songs, and
00:49:18dances, Valentina Matvienko attended a concert dedicated to the Year of Unity
00:49:22of the Peoples of Russia and the republican holiday, the Day of Unity of the Peoples
00:49:26of Dagestan. In her address, the speaker noted: Dagestan
00:49:29has for centuries shown an example of how different peoples and cultures can live
00:49:33together, creating and enriching each other. Everything that the
00:49:36republic is famous for, folk art, traditional
00:49:40crafts, unique intangible cultural
00:49:44heritage will continue to receive all
00:49:47necessary support. Such festivals and concerts unite
00:49:51generations. It is here that young people see that folk art and
00:49:55crafts are not only history, but also the future of the country. The task of
00:49:58the state is to give these traditions
00:50:00continuity.
00:50:05Alexey Mack, Natalia Kalysheva, Mikhail Chuprasov,
00:50:07Senate.
00:50:10Relations between Russia and China have reached a new level and continue
00:50:14to develop, said Valentina Matvienko. At a meeting with the Deputy
00:50:17Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress,
00:50:21which is the legislative body of the PRC. In a conversation with Li Hongzhong,
00:50:24the speaker of the Upper House noted that Moscow and Beijing have an unprecedentedly wide
00:50:28range of cooperation areas. The main task of parliamentarians of both
00:50:32countries is to promptly translate leaders' agreements into
00:50:35concrete laws and joint projects.
00:50:38The active, constant dialogue of our leaders, of course,
00:50:41sets the tone and vector for our relations,
00:50:45and Russian-Chinese relations,
00:50:49they are important. Matvienko separately noted the work of her
00:51:23counterpart
00:51:24as co-chairman of the Russian-Chinese
00:51:28Committee for Friendship, Peace, and Development. According to her, Li
00:51:32Hongzhong actively involves representatives of culture, science,
00:51:35and education, business, and regions
00:51:38in the committee's work. Between the subjects of the Russian Federation and
00:51:42the provinces of the PRC, over 120 agreements
00:51:45on cooperation in various fields are in force, from trade and high
00:51:48technologies to joint university programs and cultural
00:51:53exchanges. That's all for today, that was the week in the Federation Council, see you
00:51:57on air!
