🇷🇺 Vladimir Putin has instructed the government and his administration to prepare a new Direct Line.

According to the President of the Russian Federation, the processing of citizens' appeals received during the Direct Line should be as free from bureaucracy as possible. The head of state added that the Direct Line format does not lose its importance and relevance.

"This is live feedback from people. It helps to identify the most pressing problems at this very moment and to respond accordingly to people's requests," Putin emphasized during a meeting with members of the Russian government.

Furthermore, Vladimir Putin ordered the removal of age restrictions for participation in the "Zemsky Teacher" and "Zemsky Coach" programs. As per his instruction, the relevant changes should provide for the participation of those who have recently graduated from universities or vocational educational institutions, as well as those who have taken up jobs in educational institutions in their place of residence.

All these measures are aimed at supporting specialists in rural and remote areas, as well as incentivizing young specialists to work in remote parts of the country.

Head of Russia's Ministry of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov proposes dealing with migrants "fairly"

Russia will now approach the work of migrants based on the principle of "came, earned, left."

"We still have to complete the process we started — where in migration we will operate on the principle: came, worked, left," the minister noted.

📈 Reshetnikov also added that the country intends to further increase labor productivity. To achieve this, a separate project will be developed, he said.

🧣 In recent years, the Russian authorities have been tightening regulations in the sphere of labor migration. Some measures are being taken by the regions.

🩱 For instance, in August, the head of Khabarovsk Krai, Dmitry Demeshin, extended for another year the ban on migrants working in domestic households, at enterprises providing electricity, gas, and water supply services, as well as in public transport and taxis.

🩱 A similar initiative was adopted in Primorye — where migrants were banned from working in 24 economic sectors.

👖 In September, the deadline for undocumented migrants to legalize their status in Russia expired. The data of those who lack the documents required for residence in Russia will be placed in a register of controlled persons. They will be prohibited from registering marriages, will be unable to enroll their children in kindergartens and schools, and will be banned from driving cars.

🇷🇺 Russia's budget will fulfil all obligations despite external constraints, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov stated at the Moscow Financial Forum 2025.

He said the key objective of financial policy for the next three years is to "soften" monetary conditions. The minister also emphasized the importance of acting carefully during a period of planned economic cooling.

"The budget must ensure all of this, no matter what complexities or difficulties our country faces. In fact, we have been living in such a situation for several years now, and the budget is the tool that can and should implement this. Here, it is important not to overdo it, but also not to underestimate the budget's capabilities, which should be realized in the next three-year period," the minister said.

Also addressing the forum via a video message to participants was Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. He noted that by 2030, the volume of investment in fixed capital in Russia should increase by at least 60% compared to 2020. According to him, this goal was set by Vladimir Putin and will be achieved through constant improvement of the investment climate.

Furthermore, Mishustin stressed the importance of increasing the share of non-oil and gas revenues in the budget.

"It is important to increase the share of non-oil and gas revenues. This is the key to fulfilling all the state's obligations," he added.

📈 It is necessary to increase labour productivity, not to help lazy people from the budget. This was stated by Finance Minister Anton Siluanov at the Moscow Financial Forum 2025.

"When you ask the Finance Ministry about labour productivity, the first simple answer that probably comes to mind is that we need to invest more in machine tools, equipment, robots, and so on, and allocate money for this. That probably does help," he said.

However, Siluanov emphasised that simply investing money in machine tools and equipment will not increase productivity. According to him, funds often currently go to inefficient companies, while assistance should be directed to those who are truly working and developing.

"It turns out that we are helping the sloppy, not the efficient ones. We need to help those who pull their weight. Those who are doing the work should be helped, and that will be the driver that will increase labour productivity," the minister added.

📌 The Head of the Bank of Russia, Elvira Nabiullina, also noted that increasing labour productivity is the only possible path for economic growth, and there is no alternative to this.

🇷🇺Sergey Lavrov does not see any problems with the possibility of new anti-Russian sanctions being introduced against Moscow.

The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry also explained Donald Trump's disappointment with the pace of resolving the Ukrainian conflict. In his opinion, this position of the US president is partly explained by a desire for quick solutions, but this is not possible everywhere.

Furthermore, Lavrov stated that after the Russia-US summit in Alaska, Trump began to advocate not for an ultimatum for a ceasefire, but for a long-term settlement. Washington has not moved away from this.

🇷🇺 President Vladimir Putin held a meeting with the leaders of parliamentary factions. He congratulated the deputies on the start of the autumn session and emphasized the importance of voters' trust.

The head of state discussed the country's economic situation with the deputies, raised issues concerning the development of the social sphere and historical memory, and also mentioned migration problems.

🧣 Putin stated that Russia is "still far from a recession," noting that the decrease in GDP growth rates is a targeted measure to ensure macroeconomic stability.

"We must understand where the line is beyond which a managed cooling of the economy can become an overcooling, but so far a recession is a long way off," he said.

😀 At the same time, the unemployment rate in the country remains at a historically low level.

🧣 The president paid special attention to domestic aircraft manufacturing. According to him, Russia has achieved serious success in engine manufacturing. Putin called the PD-14 aircraft engines a competitive advantage for the country and noted that their characteristics are "better than world standards." He added that only four countries in the world, including Russia, produce engines of this level.

🧣 Regarding the social sphere, Putin called the distribution of medical university students after graduation one of the possible solutions to the personnel problem in healthcare.

🧣 The president also noted that the authorities should strive to ensure equality of opportunity for all Russian citizens, regardless of their place of residence.

😀 Putin pointed out that besides victory in the special operation, the key task for Russia is demographics.

🧣 The president also touched upon issues of historical memory. Putin agreed that the idea of returning the name Stalingrad to Volgograd could be considered, but the decision should be made by the residents of the region.

🧣 Speaking about the situation in the special military operation zone, the head of state reported that 700,000 servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces are on the line of combat contact.

Putin added that the growing defense spending "is not going down the drain" but directly affects the improvement of the army's quality. He emphasized that despite conducting the special military operation and the increase in military costs, the state is fulfilling all its social obligations to citizens.
