Dear colleagues from Russia and Germany, We would like to offer you a warm welcome to our Sixth Week of the Young Researcher! When we convened the “German-Russian Year of Science“, six years ago, the idea was born to invite young researchers from both countries to come together to discuss current topics of mutual interest. Since then it has grown from strength to strength. The success of the first week in Kazan encouraged us to turn it into an annual event. The following years we met in Ekaterinburg (2012), Novosibirsk (2013), St. Petersburg (2014) and Moscow (2015). Dr Peter Hiller The main goal of these meetings is to foster collaboration among young scientists and re- searchers who will be setting the agenda of scientific cooperation between Russia and Ger- many in the near future. Research organizations and institutions of higher education of both our countries will be presenting their funding programmes and describing the platforms that they can offer to both Russian and German PhD students or PostDoctoral researchers. The over arching principle behind these presentations is to facilitate collaboration and to broaden research networks. The brochure will illustrate how young and experienced scientists can work across borders with local authorities, associations and industry in order to develop new approaches to global challenges. This week we are glad to discuss matters of urbanism at the Moscow Institute of Civil Engi- neering (MGSU). Urban Studies comprise a wide range of interdisciplinary research areas from urban planning to civil engineering. With the sub-theme “City of the Future” we will also include ecological, social and economic aspects of the sustainable development of our Dr Jörn Achterberg cities. Our host university MGSU is famous for its participation in designing and con- structing international giant building projects like the Aswan High Dam in Africa. MGSU is the top Russian university in the area of civil engineering and was granted the status of a National Research University by the Russian government. In November 2016 MGSU celebrated the 95th anniversary of its foundation. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the Moscow State University of Civil Engineering and its academic hospitality, to the German Embassy in Moscow for its kind support, as well as to the Moscow Government. And, of course, we thank all of you, the par- ticipants, for your involvement and cooperation in this conference. СПАСИБО ВАМ!

Statement of the problem. The aim of the study is to analyse the basic elements of creating visual comfort in the urban environment in the conditions of the renovation of the existing development of Russian small towns. Results. The main results of the research are the development of the syntactic context of architecture in urban space; the definition of the architectural language as the basis for the formation of compositional characteristics of visual comfort in urban space. Conclusions. The significance of the obtained results lies in the novelty of the approach to the mechanism of updating the architectural environment of cities based on the reform of the visual characteristics of the existing buildings; in the interpretation of architectural forms that reveal the original qualities of urban architecture. The use of the methodological basis of the mechanism of visual renewal of the architectural environment and the formation of urban space as a meaningful context that reveals individual characteristics to the viewer who is in the space of the city. At the same time, the visual- figurative context of the architectural environment of cities acquires a meaningful meaning, which allows us to comprehensively consider the process of renovation of existing buildings, including the tool for visual- spatial construction of architectural solutions.

  • Kesarev Memo | New Russian Government | January 2020
    Kesarev phone: +32 (2) 899 4699 e-mail: [email protected] www.kesarev.com NEW RUSSIAN CABINET: STAFF “REVOLUTION” INSTEAD OF STRUCTURAL REFORMS? Summary On January 21, 2020, President Putin approved the structure of the new Russian Government and appointed Deputy Prime Ministers and federal Ministers. New Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin was appointed on January 16. What are the key specifics of the new Cabinet? The key specific feature of the new Russian Cabinet is that while the structural changes are minimal, the staff reshuffles proved to be radical, both in terms of the number of new people appointed to top offices and change of political status of key Cabinet members (how close they are to the President). This is an extremely atypical decision for Putin, compared to previous Cabinets over the entire period of his stay in power. Earlier, as a rule, the Cabinets included influential figures close to the President and personally associated with him, and a system of checks and balances between different elite groups existed. But at the same time, the decision to change the approach to the Cabinet appointments is logical in the context of a broader presidential “staff policy” over recent years - the so-called “technocratisation” of power (the appointment of young “technocratic” governors, the penetration of such figures into Medvedev’s second Cabinet, the appointment of the head of the Presidential Administration, a “technocrat” Anton Vayno during the Parliamentary election campaign in 2016 and the launch of “Leaders of Russia” contest in order to select and train a “succession pool” for the top positions in the federal and regional civil bureaucracy).

  • PRESS RELEASE Cannes, March 10, 2015. in Spite of the Current Quite
    PRESS RELEASE Cannes, March 10, 2015. In spite of the current quite complicated situation in the Russian economy, investors who decided to invest in Moscow real estate can count on support from the city authorities. This is what Marat Khusnullin, Deputy Mayor of Moscow, said at the conference Capital Megaprojects Russia & Worldwide: Solutions that Work, which was held as part of MIPIM Exhibition. The conference was arranged by Kommersant Publishing House with the assistance of REED MIDEM and Moscow Government. Mr. Khusnullin dwelled upon how the city authorities are going to coordinate developer projects as quickly as possible and why deals on developers’ transferring objects of social infrastructure to municipal financing are to be exempted from taxes. The Vice Mayor hinted that the business activity in the construction industry may go down slightly. “It’s time of Great Lent for Orthodox Christians now: people fast to purify their brain, heart and soul, to get rid of negative things. The crisis is a kind of fast for us, we have to fast a little,” he said. Sergey Cheryomin, Head of the Department of Foreign Economic and International Relations of the city of Moscow, confirmed that Moscow is open to dialogue with foreign investors who can count on support. Gekhan Murat Kalsin, Vice-President of Turkish Chamber of Commerce, cited Istanbul as an example, where large urban development projects helped to draw investments. Sergey Kuznetsov, the chief architect of Moscow, told that development of the Moscow River is to be a project of that kind. The embankments of the river, Moscow’s main waterway and town-planning focus, has been built up with industrial zones since the Soviet Union.
