Rosenergoatom presented three unique Russian nuclear power plants to the Federation Council
The exhibition "Pride. Inspiration. Dream" dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the domestic nuclear industry opened in the upper house of parliament.

The exhibition demonstrates the rich heritage of the pioneers of nuclear energy, the modern achievements of the Rosatom State Corporation - from the military-industrial complex to the development of information digital technologies and environmental solutions, and also talks about the social activities of the state corporation.

One of the central themes of the exhibition was Russian nuclear power plants and their significant contribution to the development of the country.

The first participants in the virtual tours of the nuclear power plant, conducted by employees of the Rosenergoatom concern (Electric Power Division of the Rosatom State Corporation), were the Chairperson of the Federation Council Valentina Matviyenko and the General Director of the Rosatom State Corporation Alexey Likhachev.

The guests were shown three unique facilities: the Beloyarsk NPP - the only one in the world with fast neutron nuclear reactors, the Novoronezh NPP - the first in the world with a generation III+ power unit, and the Floating Nuclear Power Plant (FNPP), which is based in the city of Pevek in Chukotka - the first in its class.

Valentina Matviyenko emphasized that today peaceful atom helps Russia develop the Arctic, create safe and economically advantageous routes, and strengthen the economy. According to her, no other country has such projects as Rosatom. The speaker of the Federation Council also recalled that Rosatom creates new super-strong environmentally friendly materials, develops quantum technologies, nuclear medicine, and a number of other areas.

"One of the tasks of the general scheme is the formation of fourth-generation nuclear energy based on systems with fast-neutron reactors with a closed nuclear fuel cycle. The technology provides a virtually infinite fuel base and allows us to solve the problem of accumulating spent nuclear fuel. These solutions will form the basis of our exports starting in the mid-2030s," said Alexey Likhachev, head of the Rosatom state corporation, speaking in the Federation Council.

Let us recall that in August 1945, the Special Committee on the Use of Atomic Energy was created in the USSR, which launched the Soviet atomic project. And today, 80 years later, Rosatom remains the global world leader in the field of atomic energy. It is the only company in the world operating along the entire chain of the nuclear fuel cycle.

The Rosatom exposition will close on May 21.

The Central Bank of the Russian Federation has proposed outsourcing some Russian IT projects to India due to a shortage of developers in Russia

A representative of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation proposed outsourcing some Russian IT projects to India due to the shortage of qualified personnel and development teams in the Russian market. This proposal was made by Deputy Head of the Far Eastern Main Directorate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation Denis Davydov at the Financial Congress of the Bank of Russia.

"There is, of course, a lot of talk about the current significant shortage of personnel in various industries, especially about the shortage of engineering and technical specialists in Russia. But, for example, in India, the unemployment rate of graduates in technical universities has almost reached 30% in recent years. At the same time, the current wage differential, especially if we talk about purchasing power parity, encourages the idea that there could be some effects of cooperation here," Davydov said.

Davydov recalled that Russian companies have quite a lot of accumulated experience in interacting with other countries in the IT sphere. "This is an outsourcing mode, when a team of specialists and developers remains in the host country, and the results of the activity are actually controlled remotely," he explained.

"In principle, we can think about such a mixed interaction option, when the development effect is carried out externally, and then the developed drawings and models, moreover, with the conditions of digitalization in the modern standard, are transferred and embodied in metal here on site. From the point of view of the prospects of state regulation, it seems to me that here we could look at the idea of outsourcing, taking into account the fact that many of our industries are now actively digitalizing," Davydov said.

The representative of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation emphasized that this is a "debut idea that requires further development and a more attentive, careful look." According to Davydov, socio-cultural factors, and above all, the language factor, may become barriers to the implementation of such a proposal.

Director of the Research and Forecasting Department of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation Alexander Morozov, who moderated the session at the Bank of Russia Financial Congress, agreed that international outsourcing would help Russia attract the missing personnel to perform certain jobs.

"How to do this: through a subsidiary company, or in some other way - this needs to be discussed. It seems to me that this is still much easier than trying to transport specific personnel by plane, who are not adapted to life in Russian conditions and will feel uncomfortable, from very exotic countries. Therefore, I think this idea will be continued," Morozov explained.

According to Sber, the Indian IT outsourcing market continues to grow every year. The country has several leading companies that dominate this area, including Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys, HCL Technologies, Wipro, LTIMindtree and Tech Mahindra. The main areas of outsourcing work in India are software development and testing, technical support and maintenance.

According to estimates from the government, universities and businesses, the Russian IT industry lacks between 740,000 and 1 million employees, and by 2030 it will be necessary to train and prepare more than 2 million people.

few Months ago Putin mentioned Russia need to train 1 Million engineers by 2030. Unless Russia/Putin does not consider IT part of Engineering. Russia should match Western Europe but it more depend on quality.

Engineering is the basis for Russia's development​

Dmitry LIVANOV, Minister of Education and Science of the Russian Federation:
– There are about 1.7 million future engineers studying in 537 higher education institutions. At the same time, in the budget admission of last year, students enrolled in engineering and technical fields and specialties were already about 50 percent. Thus, every year, more and more students appear in the structure of control figures for admission to budget places specifically for technical specialties. From the above, it is clear that the training of engineers is a priority.

Raise an engineer​

The golden age for engineering in the USSR was the 1960s and 1970s - a period of dynamic industrial growth. For example, in the 1970/71 academic year, there were 805 higher education institutions in the USSR, with more than 4.6 million students studying, 43.6% of whom were in engineering and technical specialties.

Russia demand for complex projects and technical Sovereignty means Engineering demand will be much higher than normal as it want completely decouple from West and there dependents in addition to distribution of population.

Payload: Russian Engineers and AI Develop Reusable Rocket in UAE to Compete with SpaceX Falcon 9

A team of Soviet space industry veterans is creating a new launch vehicle. But not for Russia

Aspire Space, a company founded by Russian engineers, has announced it is moving operations to Dubai, UAE, to develop a reusable rocket that could compete with SpaceX's Falcon 9. The project combines the experience of veterans of the Soviet space program with cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology.

Sergey Sopov, former head of the Sea Launch cosmodrome and participant in the Buran and Energia programs, became the technical director of Aspire Space. Together with a team of engineers from post-Soviet countries and the Noyron neural network (developed by the LEAP 71 startup), the company plans to create a rocket with a lifting capacity of up to 15 tons.

LEAP 71, based in the UAE, uses AI to design liquid rocket engines. Last year, the company announced that it would build two types of rocket engines from scratch: liquid and air-wedge. The development took no more than three weeks for each type. The prototypes were produced by contractors in Germany using 3D printing technology. Tests were conducted at a test site in the UK.

The first launch of the rocket is planned for 2030, and testing of the second stage engines should begin in the third quarter of 2026. The project is financed by the personal funds of the founders of Aspire Space, and its total cost is estimated at $1 billion.

Expensive brakes due to weight and dealing with instant performance.
far better vehicle than Tesla Model 3. Space of Toyota Camry on 17inch high x-section tires for extra comfort. think about 77KWH battery for such short vehicle. short overhangs. Projection on windshield. upto 80% Russian tech. They have Chinese help in testing but it is not like they spend fortune on it.

7 years without breakdowns - and this is only the beginning: Liotech launched a new generation of batteries with a record mileage​

  • 14.04.2025
"We are not reinventing the wheel — we are improving it," says Valeriy Yarmoshchuk, CEO of Liotech. "The new generation of batteries is a response to business needs: more efficiency, lower maintenance costs. And yes, we are preserving everything we are valued for: production in Russia, 24/7 support, and recycling of 95% of materials."


Why not China?

— While Chinese analogues lose capacity in the cold, our batteries operate at -30°C without losses.

— Instead of a 3-4 year warranty (like most imported ones) — 7 years, and service centers are located in the Russian Federation.

— Save 25% on logistics and customs: while others wait a month for deliveries, you receive equipment in a week.


Be the first to do so!

Until the end of 2025, order a trial batch of new batteries with a 15% discount and a free audit of your current system. And if you decide to switch from Chinese analogues, we will return 10% of the contract as a bonus for maintenance.

It's not just a battery. It's confidence in the future.
