"In the next three years, 13 metro stations are to be put into operation in Moscow" — Sobyanin

The Mayor of Moscow, Sergej Sobyanin, reported on the development of the urban transport system and the renewal of the public transport fleet.

“Creating the best and most comfortable transport system in the world for Muscovites is one of our key tasks. All types of urban transport are developing in the capital, and they are maximally integrated with each other. The total expenditure for the development of Moscow's transport system will be about 1.3 trillion rubles (approximately 13.7 billion €) by 2026,”

— wrote Sobyanin.

It is planned to put into operation 26.9 km of tracks, 13 stations, and an electric depot for the metro in the next three years. The new Rublevo-Archangelsk line will appear on the map, the first section of the Biryulevskaya line and the "Golyanovo" station of the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line will be opened. In addition, the construction of the southern section of the Troitskaya line, the "Yuzhny Port" station of the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line, and "Dostoevskaya" of the ring line will continue.

Rail transport will become more comfortable and accessible for Muscovites, residents of the Moscow region, and the central regions of Russia. As part of a comprehensive program to develop the central transport hub, new routes will be created by 2030, and the intervals between trains will be significantly reduced. Active participation is underway in the country's largest transport project – the construction of the high-speed line from Moscow to St. Petersburg.

Additionally, more electric buses, buses, trams, modern metro cars, and trains for suburban trains of the central transport hub, as well as electric scooters for urban rental, will be procured.

Furthermore, autonomous technologies in transport are being developed. By the end of next year, 15 autonomous trams will already be operating in the city, and the first autonomous train will be put into operation in the metro. By the end of 2030, it is planned to make two-thirds of the tram fleet autonomous.

— A walk through the streets of Gursuf. Crimea is beautiful at any time and in any weather!

Gursuf is a place with a rich and complex history that dates back to ancient times. The first settlements in the area of Gursuf emerged during the Neolithic period, as evidenced by archaeological finds on the rock Dzheneves-Kaya. In ancient times, the Gursuf valley was inhabited by the Taurians, mentioned by historians like Herodotus and Strabo. These tribes engaged in hunting and fishing and had their own customs. In the 6th century AD, the area of Gursuf came under the influence of the Byzantine Empire, and it was during this time that the fortress Gorsuwita was built, which is mentioned in the writings of the Byzantine historian Procopius of Caesarea. In the 12th century, Gursuf became a respected trading city.

Since the end of the 15th century, after the conquest of Crimea by the Ottomans, Gursuf became a small fishing village. For almost three hundred years, until 1774, it was under the control of the Ottoman Empire. After the annexation of Crimea to Russia in 1783, Gursuf became part of the estate of Duke Richelieu, who contributed to the development of the region. In the 19th century, the village began to actively develop as a resort, thanks to the efforts of Count Vorontsov and Senator Funduklei, who invested funds in the construction of roads and the development of viticulture.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Gursuf became a popular holiday destination for the Russian intelligentsia, with famous figures like A. S. Pushkin and A. P. Chekhov staying here. In 1925, the famous pioneer camp "Artek" was established in Gursuf, which became a symbol of children's recreation in the Soviet Union. After World War II, the settlement continued to develop as a resort, with new sanatoriums and recreation homes opening, attracting many tourists.
