he should cherish it. it must be protected, it must be developed. uh, we have good prospects. good opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation in various fields in the energy sector. e transport equipment for agriculture, and and. i'm not talking about education, culture, pharmaceuticals and others, and we will definitely implement these plans, because this is mutually beneficial cooperation , this cooperation is not against someone, but cooperation for the interests of our countries for the benefit of our people. we are not friends against someone and we certainly appreciate. eh, what a russian e-ejir relations are not subject to political contour and influence. ah, third forces. this is very important, not every state can afford such a russian. e, russian algerian relations are also

important for the e, stability and balance of the gas market. we are successfully cooperating in the opec plus format and the forum of gas exporting states, as you know. uh, algeria has expressed a desire to join, uh, the brix integration format, uh, russia will certainly support this intention and will support this in every possible way. at the moment, work is underway to develop criteria for expanding the composition of the brix, emphasized valentina matvienko, all five countries included in the association are involved in this is a separate topic that the president of the russian federation touched upon in an interview with journalists preparations for the second russia africa summit to be held this year in st. petersburg the significance of this is great. well, first of all, the potential of the african continent is huge and it is far away yet. undisclosed and

of course, it's hard to imagine building a multipolar world with a single indivisible security of mutually beneficial cooperation, without a whole e continent. russia traditionally has very close ties with african historical ties. e, when russia helped african countries in their national liberation struggle against colonialism. today we had the opportunity to visit the museum, visited by the heroes of the national liberation movement, i saw a lot, but uh, what colossal damage france inflicted over 130 years of colonial rule in algeria what suffering brought to the algerian people. uh, what crimes were committed. and most importantly, what did all the colonial countries introduce? cheat

policy they robbed african countries. uh , instead of helping them develop and fortunately uh, africans don't have a short memory, they remember it, they thank for it and they openly. they say that russia helped us, uh, and we cooperated without making any demands. uh helped us build power plants. e, helped the formation of states without demanding anything in return, in contrast, e colonizers, who simply used these countries for their own enrichment. and that's why e. in this vein, american countries treat russia with respect and hope for further development. uh, cooperation is important that an economic forum will be held on the margins of africa itself. you prikopa, so we expect

the arrival of this most not only heads of state politicians, but also large groups of entrepreneurs from american countries. and as soon as we create a platform and conditions for the interaction of entrepreneurs. they will definitely find those niches where it will be profitable for them to interact last year in russia, a broken record for the construction of housing stock, more than 100 million m² of their living conditions were introduced. more than three and a half million people have improved, the demand for urban residents and us for suburban real estate is increasing. the development of individual housing construction of the state pays close attention. there are various worlds of support, including, recently, mortgage lending for the construction of a private home for many. this is very important, given the situation with prices, we will adjust the materials on this topic. we will discuss in detail with the guest of our studio, senator andrey shevchenko andrey anatolyevich on march 10, in the union of the federation

, a parliamentary dialogue was held with the minister of construction and housing and communal services of russia, rak fayzullin, and various issues that concern the citizens of our country, in particular, were discussed. uh, including about the private construction of private households, and interest in this industry has been growing very lately among the inhabitants of our country. e, tell us what are the prospects for this direction. well, the dialogue that took place, but in the federation council and with the minister of construction. indeed, a lot of questions were asked among them. here. uh, a lot of regions applied just for individual housing construction projects. but if we take numbers, then i ’ll just remind you that for 2022, and we have more than 100 million, to be precise 102 million. and meters. residential dwellings were commissioned, and

more than half of them - this is 57. million square meters. it's individual housing construction, residential buildings are very serious prices are very serious, yes, and on sociology issues. eh, nightingale o over the past 2 years, and more than 70% of today's residents of russia are ready, uh, to live or want to live , uh, in private homes. and for this today there are all prospects, well, thanks to our president, who, uh, made sure that all the tools that are available today in construction, and preferential mortgages, and industrial construction. uh, in general, by the housing complex that they have today, they also act on individual houses. and, of course, today it is precisely this one, and most importantly, the mechanism that made it possible. ah, especially with participation, when there is a preferential mortgage, then, of course, people began

to take loans and build houses, but uh, what i want to note here, if we take these 57 million m² of rent for individual residential buildings, then uh it is worth stating and saying that most of it is built, of course. eh, ho-way. that is, it was the people themselves who built the materials, that is, the people themselves built the materials. yes, a piece of land. uh, someone is building on those sites where, for example, they were summer cottages and so on, but today we are talking about the development of the housing complex, namely industrial construction. and there is a lot to do today for this. well, i have already said that, of course, preferential mortgages. it is being used today and this mechanism allows today e residents to purchase, it really has become more affordable. but the task is to make it so that it becomes more accessible not only in order to build it yourself,

but it is very important today. uh, for it to be on an industrial basis, probably one of the most important issues in such construction are, of course, probably infrastructure. after all, when you build a house. well, i myself remember, here, according to the experience of my father, the catastrophe of the dacha, yes, they always looked to make sure there was a road. yes, to have electricity, that's over time. here they also put a column, water appeared, well, in general, it’s fine. and even more so when it comes to industrial construction. that is, it must be, probably, some kind of communications are summed up. if we are talking about the construction, probably already cottages some small villages. e, built according to the typical method. that's right, because ah, in our understanding. edo can be a country house. uh, built it where, let's say, the old one was. rebuilt it.

but when we talk about mass development and sometimes there is such a picture, you drive on to, uh, where land plots were allocated for a houses or a cottage village is called, whatever you call it, it does not change the essence and you see that there is no road, what of the 100 houses that were planned and stood, er, in long-term plan, there are 10-15 houses, and then each e is in a different degree of readiness, but not everyone has electricity there, and so on and so forth. and here is the problem that needs to be solved. it is, of course, construction. these small towns or living e houses are individual ones, and through the industrial that for this it is necessary to diagnose standard projects today, not only standard house designs, but standard projects, and so that the inhabitants of mahe, choose the project that exists today from the infrastructure as a whole by the village. that was you can see that in this village. uh, besides the houses there will be a road from there will definitely be a kindergarten,

if it is needed there, but there will be, of course , a means, uh, communications, and so on and so forth. this is exactly what we're talking about here. and for this , it is necessary to develop today and make land plots accessible. and of course, but preferential mortgages, which are valid today, but uh, we met with developers today, unfortunately, banks do not always lend u those people who, uh, begin to build the quality of the so-called ten pilot projects. and, let's say those who build their own house. they can take a loan, but a mortgage loan for and those building materials that bought accommodation today may not be enough, especially for prices to rise recently, well, for objective reasons, objectively, yes, and the mechanism is very important today, and spark is used today and here and here

the question arises, it is very important that we understand that today, when we talk about deceitful equity holders, which we have already forgotten when we spoke, because at one time the president made the decision to scroll the account, and the decision was made. and today we are already talking about it as about the past, but there are still questions, when it is necessary to solve them, they are solved there. today, it is very important that during construction, through the roof of the account, and that it would be profitable for the developer. this is a business, if it is profitable for them to build, of course, he will come into this business, and for this it is necessary, but long, cheap money and, of course, to be affordable, er, ready-made kits at home, and to buy with this money. well here you are said, ready-made houses speech kits in the first place, of course there is a ready-made wooden houses, of course, here, but how is it developing now? uh, wooden construction, i know there are very interesting projects,

including multi-apartments, there are multi-story even tell us more. indeed, this is a very promising direction, if we recall wooden housing construction, then in russia it is also a very large historical uh. e, it has always been and therefore today e we say, if by numbers then today, unfortunately, only 10%, e from general construction is a wooden house building task. e strategy for the development of construction until 2030, and bring up to twenty percent. but at the same time, that our country is the richest forest reserves in the russian federation is estimated at about 25% of everything, and the forests of the world. our task today, ah, is to develop the industry, and we, together with the menstruum and the ministry of industry of trade, today. uh, i pay a lot of

attention to, uh, let's just say. uh, the same help, the same loans for those businesses that are today recycle wood and there are examples of such today and we have today. uh, well, here, two of them are exactly one of them in the vologda oblast, those enterprises that meet these requirements. and besides, today wooden housing construction, and already in six regions. eh, it is being built according to standard projects. 11 projects are still few, but i think that this is only the beginning and is developing. this market is very good and a very important task is to make it really accessible, i repeat once again, because you can build a house for 10 million and very expensive, but it should be exactly the right access. for which we mean, we understand there should be a house. ah, standard projects should be small, so that he chooses himself, and the customer of this house and it should be functional, it should be warm and today. hmm

, the requirements for wooden houses are really very high today for seismic resistance and a wooden house. but, uh, those tests that were carried out today , it is not inferior either in strength to a stone house or in thermal conductivity, and it is very reliable, but it is warm, it is cozy, and there are already experiments in order to test the manufacturability today, e.g. wooden constructions today there is a house nine floors. i don't know he will not be needed, but the very fact that in the near future, er colleagues, we talked. uh, it means that up to 12 floors are ready to assemble wooden houses, and they are responsible for its strength. naturally, all those requirements that are necessary today are 100% met, but we are talking today, of course, about single-story houses, maximum two-story ones. well, this

should be massive, because e is the use of wooden structures today. unfortunately, it is not yet small for us. this week marks the day of the reunification of crimea with russia, a historic event that took place on march 18, 2014. in moscow, when an agreement was signed on the entry into the russian federation of two new subjects of the republic of crimea and the federal city of sevastopol, this was preceded by the signing of a declaration on the independence of crimea and sevastopol, and then a nationwide referendum was held there, at which the overwhelming majority of crimeans spoke in favor of reunification with russia about how life on the peninsula has changed over these 9 years, let's talk to the senator representing the interests of this subject in the federation council with olga olga fedorovna tell us what transformations have taken place in crimea during this time. and what do you think? still to be done? i remember very well in 2014, when we remember february march, it was a very

difficult year for each of us, and today is already bringing us real results. and don't talk about them today just-on. we cannot, well, first of all, we are talking about what has been invested in the economy of the republic to date. pay attention to 1 trillion 439 billion rubles. it's, uh, quite serious money in uh investments that were invested in uh, capital, in general, this is real time. in crimea, we have solved the main problems with the main infrastructure and introduced large social facilities. but well, the most important thing for everyone. probably this is the school of health until the end of 2027. we plan to build more 14 schools for all new absolutely beautiful schools, 137 kindergartens built in the republic. e. well, as far as preschool education is concerned, we have resolved this issue . 100% accessibility of preschool education, taking into account the commissioning of new

facilities under construction, should be achieved as early as 2024 . this is extremely important for the republic , because the problem with the gardens has never been resolved in crimea. and therefore, today we are talking about the fact that everything that has been done in the republic is extremely important for every crimean. the multidisciplinary republican medical center in yalta was launched, and the modern multidisciplinary republican medical center, the semashko hospital, as we call it in crimea, is completely unrecognizable. this is this huge building, in which the latest equipment is excellent doctors. and hmm we're proud of our hospital today. semashko is aware of the 4th center of bulatory oncological care in the cities of evpatoria dzhankoy and simferopol and yalta crimea is developing crimea is developing at a rapid pace and it is not in in the state of no one, we are talking about the presence of outpacing the pace of development

of the socio-economic development of the republic of such support. which one is allocated by the federal center of moscow to crimea and we never crimea never in the soviet period, well, we don’t say anything about ukraine anymore, because it was a period when they simply pulled the juices out of crimea in order to somehow support directly, but the interests of the oligarchs who simply robbed the republic and today we are glad that we have the north, the crimean canal, and we we know that a new reservoir will also be built, new heat and gas supply facilities, and health care facilities. yes, all this will happen, but i would like to say that because the subject develops or does not develop. we can talk, looking at how the construction industry is developing, crimea is being built, and in 9 years, almost 2 million square meters of multi-apartment housing have been commissioned. we are talking about the fact that by 2030 we plan to build about one million square meters of new housing for olga

fedorovna a. as regards transport infrastructure? what key implemented projects would you highlight. i am sure even that we should note. the loudest the brightest m-m such infrastructure projects that are talked about not only in russia are spoken all over the world. well, first of all, this is our handsome, crimean bridge, yes, to whom, of course, to someone out there , hmm, outside of russia, he does not let him sleep peacefully, because, well, such a grandiose project, even ahead of tsarist russia , they tried to implement it. only e during the period when crimea was in russia, but we were able to to say that this handsome man has already been built. yes, the crimean bridge was built, it is the longest bridge in europe and is 19 km long. here in the network hmm, all these nasty things that they tried to do to us, when we know there was a sabotage on the crimean bridge, everything is eliminated very quickly, the crimean bridge works and we are sure that it will not

work. a. well, of course, today i would like to remind you once again about our beautiful tavrida, well, you know that its length is 25.50 km, it is actually the main transport artery of the crimea and e. today we are all very proud of the overall quality of this road surface. we are proud of the beauty of this road. we are crimeans. we are at home and we will protect our home and no one else. we won’t allow us to go home to crimea, and i want our people there to clearly understand that crimeans know how to value their homeland, they love their homeland and know how to defend it. now let's talk about the new russian regions, which still have to go from integration into the legal field of russia to successful implementation large-scale socio-economic transformations about how it will happen in the zaporozhye region. we were told by senator dmitry voronov who represents this subject.

you told the federation council dmitry nikolayevich that the economic recovery of the region will take 1-2 years, and in order to solve this problem, it is necessary to restore and develop the transport infrastructure of the car. railways bridges, what is being done in this direction? well, first of all , our population already notes the repair of the road here the main one, which connects the crimean peninsula with mariupol, the section from melitopol to berdyansk has already been brought into a good standard condition for it. we are already moving at a good speed, thank you. god has repaired. eh, the whole situation. thanks for this to our government. thanks to those services of rosavtodor and all the contractors who very quickly carried out a major overhaul of this road in a very high quality. she was probably not in such a state for all the years of ukrainian independence as well. today we are restoring the destroyed railways bridges that were unfortunately,

during a special military operation , the confrontation with the ukrainian regime, which causes deliberate damage to a civilian object, was also damaged. structures and, of course, this is a rather serious situation for us, and one of the egregious moments, let's say, was when the bridge was being repaired and missiles were hit. unfortunately, uh, the people who died were the repairmen who were restoring the railway bridge. e, on which today we continue to carry out repair work to restore the connection of railways with the crimea in a normal volume, we also plan to restore and repair the motor road. between melitopol and simferopol , we are doing this together with the authorities of the crimean peninsula and the kherson region. again, we thank the federal center for the support that the author's ministry of transport and growth provides us with, and specifically

the government apparatus and the working group on our infrastructure project. dmitry nikolayevich is another important direction in the restoration and development of the transport component. this is port infrastructure and ferry messages. it is known that a lot of work is also going on in this direction. tell us, please, in more detail, well, a very important direction. i recently visited the berdyansk commercial sea port, in which , by now, we have already carried out the main work on its restoration. now you need to fully download it, taking into account what is necessary for our region. uh, let's say the export of a large amount of grain , a large amount of manufactured goods, that is, for us, of course. uh, today the restoration of sea routes. this is very important direction the sea of ​​azov has again become an inland sea of ​​the russian federation a. i. of course, we can already today ensure security

, navigation, which is immediately said to restore and the need to restore also cargo ferry communication with e, russian regions, this is the tula region and the krasnodar territory, where we could and the republic of crimea, including by sea , or send cargo ferries that would significantly reduce the load on our road network and on our administrative border crossing points. we also look forward to the restoration of passenger ferry traffic to our ports. we very much hope that the port of mariupol, also our neighbor, will be restored and will begin normal work on cargo transportation, which, of course, will contribute to the economic recovery of the region as a whole, but the task of the zaporozhye region. this is the restoration of the full-fledged work of the bezdeon seaport, and we are doing a large number of

tasks for the ministry of transport to solve and associations of seaports in order for us to ensure proper loading. three energy industries in the new conditions, how much the sanctions pressure on this industry significantly affects and how the modernization of the domestic power engineering industry is taking place, as well as reorientation to new markets, this topic will be discussed by senator yury fedorov yury viktorovich how difficult external economic circumstances have affected the russian electric power industry, how stable the situation in this area is, but considering that i am an employee of the committee for economic policy. i was sick of the language of numbers the first production of oil and gas condensate plus 2% of last year, a record volume of 535 million coal production of 443 million. electricity production is growing by 0.7%, electricity consumption is growing by one and a half percent. in general, the whole tag showed a dynamic

powerful work, despite all the numerous packages of sanctions and in general it is very firmly on its feet. there is a slight objective decrease in the volume of gas production, respectively, in gas exports, as well as in coal exports, because we all know that us almost the entire traffic. i went to the west to the east and at the time of logistical overload of the eastern training ground. of course, we did not deliver a little bit of coal, but in general i say again that the text industry is very strong on its own feet. yuri viktorovich is there a need for reorientation to new markets? uh, almost all of the cargo flow went east. this is the development of transim. this is baikal muska, the highway is a corridor. uh, transport north south, and in this regard, almost 70% of our exports are the countries of the uh pacific region. this is china , this is india, this is turkish, so i am very grateful to all the employees of the track for the fact that

we quickly and fairly quickly found a new logistics supply chain and, on the whole, kept the industry going and discussed best practices in the field of artificial intelligence. they will hold a meeting of the chamber of young legislators. the issues of providing the agro-industrial complex with specialized equipment are drowning and will review the progress of the implementation of national projects. we continue to follow the most important events in the federation council see you in a week see you in the senate program.

always wondering where it all starts now?

today is the day of the reunification of crimea with russia, first the supreme council of the republic and the sevastopol city council adopted a declaration on the independence of the regions, then , according to the results of a referendum, crimea and sevastopol became part of russia , more than 96 percent of the inhabitants of the peninsula voted for this decision, it was on march 18 that an agreement was signed in moscow on the return of crimea the russian authorities have done everything to stop any threats to crimea, vladimir stressed putin at a meeting at which the results of development were summed up.
