for you, photographer, we have organized two such series of competitions for professionals and for amateurs. the main thing is to photograph russia as you see it, people, objects, nature, everything that we are proud of, everything that makes us proud of our country. we work better. we will show at the exhibition and even help the winner organize their own exhibitions after this competition. for example, if you do not want to be a photographer and documentarian, but love poetry, then for you there is a competition for knowledge of the author and songs and patriotic poems we will carry out content through our expert jury to select the best and again we will organize such a halo concert at an exhibition in russia. and, probably, in

conclusion this way, because there are a lot of projects. i’m trying to tell these, probably new bright ones, and at the youth festival, and the universe youth festival, which will take place in march next year, and there will also be many of our e events, but one is very bright and unusual. we have knowledge game projects. this. eh, what an intellectual competition tournaments that go on all year, but uh, at the northern youth festival, we will go international and i hope we will organize the largest game. the largest tournament in the world and set a guinness record, well, now uh due to some. i’m somehow specific, uh, russia can’t register a guinness record, but uh, we ’ll achieve it purely technically by the number of participants in an intellectual game at the same time. i think there will be more than 10,000 participants. that is, it turns out that you do not leave the projects of the winners, but accompany them

further. this is what you just told, you know, in our country, in general, a lot of attention is paid to supporting those talents and stars. i'm talking about young guys. in fact, about adults or even our very experienced lecturers, educators, documentarians. and you know, i want everyone to feel that knowledge is really power and social science. it will always help to realize this power and support its development in gaining an audience. but actually at hmm here at the eastern economic forum. we'll show you this one. yes, they will announce a little, we will show the work our author and director. he won the film knowledge project, and the film by the whaler legend will premiere here. uh, the film tells about the culture, traditions and life of the peoples of the north, and not only will we show the premiere here and broadcast it throughout

the country, but also then in the far eastern federal district there will be screenings in 33 cinemas. and after that in thousands of russian social studies film clubs. i really hope that this will be such well-deserved glory and recognition. eh, the author's work is very good. the top ones have already been named projects. not only all russian youth festivals. what other developments are currently underway for the event? well, you know, we are really looking forward to the uh award, social studies is our very important oscar event in the field of enlightenment ah. it’s just about paying attention to those who share knowledge and about finding the best this year, and we’re just choosing. whether it will be at the end of this year or at the beginning of next. uh, because the program turned out to be very busy for november-december, so maybe we will shift it to january or february, but it's already coming. uh processing of applications 13,000

applications this year. this is more than twice the excess, almost three times more than in the previous year, and very soon this year we will have a meeting of the honorary jury. these are the most outstanding people of our country who will gather to listen to the performance of the candidates for such pinching, and for the title of the best visitors of this year. and as far as i know, the knowledge studio has been operating at the eastern economic forum for three years now. this is why this project is important to you and what we have prepared in this year for the audience? and you know, we try to be present at all the main events of the country, because this is an opportunity to reach out to outstanding unique people with knowledge, and by tradition , there is a studio here at the eastern economic forum, and we invite outstanding speakers to speak at complex topics of the forum, but simply with young people in the format of such an open dialogue to

give them the opportunity to immerse themselves in these topics a and understand, experience them for themselves, understand how they can be realized in current events in open do not miss the opportunities that exist for them too. well, for example, we will have a speaker from the minister for the development of the far east of optics, alexey chechenkov. or, for example, the chairmen of this director of the fresco transport group, andrey sevillarilov, or the well-known maria zakharova, the brilliant director of roscongress , alexander. many other outstanding speakers. well, as i already said, the premiere of the film the legend of the whalers will take place. and very often we talk about what happened and it became clear that you have a creative sphere. well after all, if we take the first, second, third year, here, how your studio developed the project that you represent there, you know, well, in general, if we talk about the development of society, knowledge is not even that, not only the studio. yes, but at first we,

of course, tried to go bigger. uh, because, well, it's no secret, uh, two and a half years ago. eh, knowledge societies. well , that’s what the president himself said. well, no one seemed to notice him; there were a few hundred, maybe lecturers. eh, well, a few projects. now these are tens of thousands of lecturers. yes, this is a huge number. moreover , these are tens of millions of participants in our projects at first. we built this scale, but then it became clear that, for example, only lectures are not enough and the children need to be captivated, interested and conquered. and that’s why such different projects appeared as theaters, cinema, game formats , enlightenment, photo competitions. and this allows us now to constantly maintain attention to always exceed the expectations of the children; another very important point is to involve them themselves in

educational activities, and so the project of school legectors appeared when they were able to become. eh, also educators. and now in almost all projects that involve social studies, young people, children, even schoolchildren participate on an equal basis with everyone. here, by the way, it helps us. eh, the movement is almost always first. they are partners of our projects, and we will organize such children’s nominations. a very important feature is that over time it became clear that the guys are waiting for, uh, speakers of various formats, not only professional ones speakers, yes teachers teachers statesmen. those who often appear before us in one role or another, but also unexpectedly, speakers whom perhaps we never have. they couldn't see over the stands. it could be some kind of engineer, uh, doctor. uh, maybe, uh, i don’t know who the director or editor is. they are very interesting, because they are practitioners; they tell us not about theoretical knowledge, but in practical life, they tell us the experience of how they experienced it and when this

personal story happened. uh, besides just theory, uh appears in the story. this is a completely different perception. this is more like mentoring, you know, and mentoring is perhaps the best. enlightenment that can be, and just today in the year of the teacher and mentor. well , it’s simply a sin not to support this most important profession, not even a calling profession. e and all the mentors i thank very much. this means there is one more question for the country. we talked about what happened and what became large-scale, if we talk about the knowledge society. and there are further goals. you'll be to the side develop, which tracks do we continue to grow in breadth and depth, what is called i hope that social studies will become international, you know more and more projects and about telling about the world. uh, here, uh, youth in russia well, for example, within the framework. at the world

youth festival, we planned a lot of tracks to talk about the participating countries. and there are a lot of them and we want to educate and talk about what is happening in the world globally, but also in the other direction. we have a lot of projects. uh, with china, with the east, with asia, with different ones, and directions and knowledge about russia there is also very important for the implementation of joint projects, so we are now entering into cooperation with various international organizations and we hope that we will help our foreign partners to know better. e friends in russia and the projects that we are doing together, that is, an element of enlightenment yes, thank you very much maxim alekseevich for your time for very interesting answers. here everything went to blows.

you will never take mariupol, we have no way out. this is our house. cities honestly there was no other way to kill a civilian. there were civilians there. there were also opportunities there not to let them get out faster. well i agree. look, they will come out with the surrendered weapon to carry out the basic blocking order.

the russian economy is showing good results even under conditions of restrictions , the head of the ministry of economic development , maxima reshetnikov, spoke about this in an interview with rbc at the eastern economic forum, and emphasized , among other things, that there is an intensive growth in investment. quite intense in the second quarter investment growth, and you know, in quarterly terms there is more than 12%, if we take the half-year there as 76 percent. this is what is probably important, that if before this our driver, both at the end of last year and at the beginning of this year, was primarily budgetary investments. and the budget

really strongly supported the economy there with infrastructure projects. this means that with support there are also a number of private initiatives, but nevertheless there is also the life of road construction and so on. this is really the second quarter. this is the first turn the growth of private investment. the ministry of finance announced a trend towards an improvement in the budget situation; the structural deficit will be reduced from 2% of gdp in 2023; the dynamics of expenditure execution have returned to normal; economic activity is being restored ; the head of the department, anton, spoke about this. and now the broadcast from the eastern economic forum is to find a balance, and what is important is a reasonable balance of interaction between the state and business, because it is he who allows us to move forward. moreover, the foundations of the economy are small and medium-sized enterprises

my deep opinion is that the far east is a very important region. eh, and in many ways very indicative for the whole country. namely, this is not just a point of growth, not just a point of development, it is in many ways more experimental. in my opinion, it’s a region where new decisions are being made, so let’s not delay too long with our opening remarks. uh. i would like to give the floor to the prosecutor general of the russian federation, igor viktorovich krasnova igorevich. good afternoon peter thank you good afternoon colleagues, and friends first of all. let me welcome you to vladivostok guests of our session, including my foreign colleagues, uh, who accepted the invitation to attend the eastern economic forum, and we have prepared a video for you, so i suggest you go ahead and watch it, and then we will continue the discussion, please. the development of business and production facilities

based on our own technological base is critically important in an environment of unprecedented sanctions pressure in this situation. the far east and the arctic have become one of the key areas to ensure innovative industrial and infrastructural potential of our country in order to achieve the specified goals of attracting investments, as well as creating comfortable conditions for doing business, a set of measures of state programs for the socio-economic development of the far eastern federal district and the arctic zone is being implemented, in turn, the prosecutor's office is carrying out consistent work to eliminate administrative barriers for business ensuring the rights and legitimate interests of entrepreneurs support the economy is directly related to the creation of favorable conditions for business development; if we consider it as moving forward, then it is obvious that we need a straight , smooth, free road, so this is certainly an important task. supervision remains the same

: reducing the administrative burden on business from the first days of sanctions pressure, the level of decision-making to coordinate the control of supervisory activities was increased to the maximum possible in the regions on behalf of the head of state of the prosecutor general's office the russian federation, with the participation of nature, security transport and prosecutors of the constituent entities , carries out verification activities on the implementation of legislation on a systematic basis. in the sphere of development of territories with prefavicial economic regimes. among the identified violations, red tape is noted when issuing permits to entrepreneurs , providing land plots for construction, necessary for the implementation of investment projects, infrastructure , ineffective spending of budget funds and excessive administrative pressure in within the framework of the implementation of the investment project and expansion of the type of activity. our company turned to the vladivostok city administration for provision. after an appeal

, the vladivostok city administration refused to provide these land plots, disagreeing with this decision. e. our company filed a complaint with the prosecutor's office of the primorsky territory. after the intervention of the prosecutor's office, the administration decided to provide our company with these land plots for further increase attractiveness, numerous far eastern territories, rapid development will contribute to the implementation of the initiative of the prosecutor general's office of russia to cancel inspections of residents carried out by regulatory authorities and replace them with mandatory preventive visits; corresponding proposals were submitted to the government following the results of the next personal reception by the prosecutor general of the russian federation of representatives of the business community over the past year the level of controllers’ interference in business has decreased, which was facilitated by the adopted measures taken by prosecutors to implement the moratorium on control and supervisory activities by prosecutors. the eastern federal district has agreed on a minimum number of scheduled and

unscheduled inspection activities for the current year, and the proportion of those rejected is higher than the national indicator. prosecutors are consistently forcing state and municipal customers to make proper and timely payments for contracts executed by entrepreneurs. in the first half of 2023. we managed to achieve repayment of debt to businesses totaling more than 11.5 billion rub. of these , 1.4 billion rubles are in the far eastern federal district. in 2016, the establishment between us was twenty , and the agreement did not pay for them in a timely manner. why did we have to?

in order to promptly respond to requests from the developing economy, the prosecutor's office continued direct and open communication with the business community, this year the prosecutor general of russia took part in the st. petersburg international economic forum, within the framework of which topical issues of supervision over the observance of rights were discussed entrepreneurs , taking into account the discussion that took place at the forum, by order of igor krasnov, an interdepartmental working group was created to ensure the rights and legitimate interests of business and investment entities due to the changed geopolitical situation in the world. economic realities required a new approach to solving the tasks set by the country's leadership for economic development. including the protection of the rights of bona fide entrepreneurs and investors, including foreign ones for further formation comfortable conditions for doing business.

thank you, well, we watched a short video. i am confident that today the exchange of views at our entrance to our discussion will be confidential and productive, since this is a platform. it traditionally allows us to build a dialogue taking into account the interests of all its participants. and we are ready to discuss best practices for protecting the business community, including with our foreign partners , initiatives to truly improve the investment climate and business environment. russian far east e hmm traditional there is a place for such a conversation. as you yourself understand, this has been a pretty significant state here for many years. uh, a number of special programs for the socio-economic development of the entire macro-region are being purposefully and consistently implemented and favorable

conditions are being created for the development and conduct of business . the prosecutor's office, within the framework of the assigned target powers, ensures the legality of all these processes. this also applies to respecting the rights of presidents of territories with preferential economic modes. providing them with land plots, tax breaks and a number of other preferences, i must say, is the scope of application of supervisory powers. uh, the supervisory powers here are quite broad and one of our most important tasks. at the same time, this is the timely elimination of shortcomings in the existing regulatory framework. in the first half of the year according to requirements. uh , prosecutors only in the far eastern federal district, and the enforcement duties of excessive requirements are excluded from more than 1,300 regulatory legal acts. as a result. in my opinion

, specific business problems are solved and, most importantly , systemic problems are overcome. which hinders the development of this macroregion. well, for example, during the ongoing inspections, we established numerous cases of unfounded refusals to issue permits for the road transportation of large and heavy cargo by an entrepreneur; as a rule, this was caused by inconsistency in administrative procedures. to solve the problems, we initiated the adoption of the federal law in april of this year has already been accepted thanks to which now the whole complex of actions. this means that carriers will receive the necessary documents in a single window mode through a special change designed for this information system that will come into force on march 1. next year, low capacity at the grand crossings. they are insufficiently equipped

and the logistics are not always well thought out. the business projects of participants in economic activities also developed negatively after my appeal to president of russia vladimir vladimirovich putin the security council at the legislative level has determined the legal basis for the introduction of an electronic queue when crossing the state border. supervisory means also ensured the implementation of measures for the construction of reconstruction and technical re-equipment of 26-26 relevant facilities. but if difficulties of this kind are more typical for border areas, then the problem of non-transparent e due to inflated tariffs in the energy market is connection failures. to the networks. they are acute for business in the vast majority of regions of our country. and you know this very well, i often hear about them during receptions of my business community and

i see uh, regularly received appeals to the prosecutor general's office, which considers, among other things, personally, i am in this regard. i want to inform you about the results of the work we have done this year on behalf of the head of state. e, verification of compliance with legislation in the field of electricity, gas supply and gasification they actually required a response in a number of serious areas, for example, the federal antimonopoly service was asked to organize additional measures to forecast energy tariffs to ensure equal access for all consumers to networks and services. this problem significantly affects the interests of small and medium-sized businesses; the ministry of energy of russia indicated a violation of the deadlines for the implementation of measures to connect gas pipelines power of siberia sakhalin khabarovsk vladivostok with a single gas supply system. first of all, this

was done in order to prioritize the needs of the domestic market. i have no doubt that a positive solution to these issues will have a positive impact on the cost of energy resources for the enterprise. especially here in the far eastern federal district. well, it’s really clear that access to resources alone is not important enough for the listening infrastructure to work properly and be maintained at a truly proper level. this level is in good condition. we have identified more than just isolated facts when supplying organizations included in tariffs. uh, the cost of upgrading networks. eh, they didn’t actually do that. eh, well , the government has raised the issue of holding people accountable for the failure to implement investment programs. e in electricity. if the source of funding. this is

consumer money. i am sure that this will have a certain effect and will stimulate. uh, suppliers to improve the necessary infrastructure. dear colleagues. i also wanted to touch on one more topic, which is no less relevant for the development of competitive business environment here in the far east this is the establishment of order in the sphere of circulation of aquatic biological resources, with which this macro-region is especially rich in odious activities, and we have identified significant shortcomings in the work of information systems in the field of fisheries and veterinary medicine, as it was established that the current mechanism of the volume of the existing exchange mechanism , uh, and the entire volume of information did not allow us to track the entire path from the direct catch to the final delivery to the consumer, which in turn created favorable conditions. how do you understand for poaching and production

of counterfeit products? the development of the so -called black market is detrimental to the interests of legal fishing companies? the head of state, the chairman of the government, was newly informed about this, and as a result of this, the russian fisheries agency and the rosselkhoznadzor organized systematic work to synchronize monitoring systems for the circulation of fish products, as well as issuing veterinary permits. i have no doubt that its completion will allow us to finally establish order in this area. in addition, we the termination of more than 50 agreements for securing shares was initiated in the courts. uh, the catch provided to a group of companies that brought it abroad. eh, hmm through offshore jurisdictions over 22 billion rubles. which are obtained from the sale of seafood, are currently under the control of prosecutors. e federal fisheries agency. he redistributed the quota for production of over 5,000, and valuable 5,000 tons

of valuable types of biological resources. of course, we continue to check compliance on a daily basis. established restrictions on control activities as the main tool for reducing the administrative burden on business has already been said in detail about this. i will not dwell on the measures taken by the prosecutor here and will act consistently. i assure you, but i’ll just say that in the far eastern federal district alone, three quarters have been rejected this year. this is 73%, we considered the proposal of the inspection bodies upon approval as scheduled inspections. so they are planning events. we intend to continue to take a principled approach. e to giving a sanction during inspection business, the same applies to the unjustified elevation by control bodies of risk indicators, which go against the corresponding

instructions of the head of state and are often used as a reason to check absolutely non- hazardous production. such facts will receive a proper legal assessment from prosecutors. at the same time, accelerated economic growth in the far east depends not only on reducing administrative pressure on business. as you understand, this process is impossible without qualified workers, dalniy the east is 41% of the territory of russia, 7 1/2 million people, 47% of states.
