ClimateThe Russian climate has clearly defined warm and cold seasons. Most of its territory falls in a moderate zone, but its northern mainland regions are in Arctic and Subarctic zones, and the Caucasus Black Sea coast is in a subtropical zone. Siberia is the coldest area; the northern hemisphere's Pole of Cold is near Verkhoyansk city.

PopulationAs of January 2013, Russia had 143,347,059 permanent residents, 74.03% of whom live in cities. The average population density is 8.38 people per square kilometre2. Russia is going through a demographic crisis, according to a 2011 UN Fund report on population. The country’s total birth rate is 1.539. However, in 2012, 38 federation subjects recorded natural population growth — as opposed to 28 in 20113 — and 42 federation subjects recorded growth in January — August 20134.

Official languageRussian is the official language in Russia and all of its territory. Republics within Russian Federation can set up their own official languages that are used alongside the Russian Federation’s official language7.

CurrencyThe Russian Federation’s official currency is the ruble (divided into 100 kopecks). The Russian ruble's letter code, in the standard, is ISO 4217 — RUB, and in numerical — 643; the 810 code is used for numbering bank notes. Since 1996, the notes have featured main attractions of different Russian cities. Ruble coins have a double-headed eagle with the Bank of Russia’s crest on one side. Kopeck coins have Saint George on one side with the coin’s nominal value on the other.

TimeRussian territory is admi-nistratively divided into 9 time zones (according to international classification, time zones 3-12, except 5) with the same time within every zone. There are no seasonal changes of the clock: clocks are not turned backwards or forwards in the calendar year. Moscow

PopulationMoscow is the biggest city in Russia and Europe, with more than 12 million people1 living there. For comparison, London has just over 8 million residents2, Berlin — 3.5 million3. At the moment, the majority of Muscovites (91.65% of those who indicated their ethnicity) are Russians, which is very unusual for a capital of a multi-ethnic state. In the rest of Russia the share of ethnic Russians is smaller — 80.90% of those who indicated their ethnicity4. However, recently there has been a tendency towards more complex social and ethnic structures in the capital. The number of Russian, Jewish, German and Baltic people is rapidly diminishing, while the number of people from the Caucasus is increasing. Among the reasons for ethnic

changes in Moscow, demographics experts say, are birth rates, migration and change of identity (the assimilating role of Russian ethnicity).

Since the demographic crisis of the 90s, Moscow has seen a significant increase in birth rate. It was tied to positive changes in the adult section of the population (the relatively numerous generation born in 1980s that has reached adulthood) and a higher rate of later pregnancies (thanks to private healthcare possibilities, couples aged 35-40 are deciding to have children). The national project on birth rate increase («mother's capital») has also played some role in improving the demographic situation.

Population

NumbersThe permanent population was estimated at 12,048,600 people as of July 1, 2013, which indicates an increase of 69,100 people in January — June 2013. Population density is 4,770,82 people per square km5.

Gender and age breakdown of permanent residents5:

Demographic dataSince early 90s, demographic development tendencies in the capital have reached a crisis level: the number of births has been consistently lower than the number of deaths, and birth rate fell, as did life expectancy. Now the situation is improving: a significant growth in birth rate has been recorded, even though many sociologists tie it to an increase in migrant families with lots of children.

Interesting factMuscovites like 'beautiful' dates in their documents, but while it is difficult to predict the child's birthday, many try to set their wedding on a day with a beautiful date. Moscow Civil Registry offices saw their biggest rush on Saturday July 7, 2007 (07.07.07). However, these marriages have the biggest chance of breaking up: 367 out of 1678 couples (almost 22%) that got married on 07.07.07 got divorced within five years.

The number of families with three or more children has been increasing every year6:

A big family in Russia is one where three or more children were born and/or are raised. The family is considered big up until the youngest child reaches the age of 16. If a child is studying in a public school, his or her status remains until adulthood (18).

Moscow's most popular namesSofia and Maria were the most popular girl's names in Moscow — 3,841 and 3,735 girls or 5.8% of all newborns respectively, according to statistics. Anna was in third place — 2,611 (4.1%) of newborn girls were given this name. Such traditional Russian names as Ekaterina, Alexandra, Veronika and Valeria were in the top ten most popular names. The most popular boy's name has remained the same for 10 years — Alexander (3,330 boys or 4.8%). It is followed by Artyom (3,120), Maksim (2,891), Ivan, Dmitry, Daniil, Mikhail, Kirill and Nikita. Moreover, recently ancient Russian or Scandinavian names started gaining popularity in Moscow.

Moscow attracts labour from all over Russia and neighbouring countries. However, the labour market in the capital is quite stable. In the first 10 months of 2013, 118,000 people applied to the employment bureau, and out of them 86,000 people found jobs1. Moscow city authorities also help unemployed residents in opening private businesses — in 2013, 110 former unemployed people opened their own business1. In October, the number of vacancies in the bureau’s database was 140,9001. In 2011, the majority of unemployed were people aged 20-29 years old (45.7%) and 30-49 years old (40.5%)2. In 2013, the gender gap was almost 20% (58.6% of unemployed were women and 41.4% — men)1. The share of vacancies where the employers would

like to hire foreign nationals was 34.7% of the total number. In 2013, there were 171 vacancy fairs, 21 of them — city-wide1.

The city mostly needs «blue collars» — the most in-demand professions are engineer, builder, and technician. The ratio of unemployed to the number of vacancies in Moscow labour market is one of the lowest in the country, at 0.273. The most important trends in employment are the attempts by the authorities to lower the unemployment level and organise numerous events as part of active employment policies, including programmes on professional orientation, education, public services, social adaptation and psychological support services for the unemployed.

The state sector of economics employs 1.6 million people, and the private sector – 4.9 million. The most popular jobs are retail and wholesale trade and car and household appliances repairs: 25% of the employed population works there, 17.9% works with property and 12.7% are employed in the construction clusters2.

As of the end of September 2013, the share of foreign workers in the total workforce was 3.2%4. As a rule, workers from outside of the CIS countries are managers, financial sector employees, or creative professionals. Those from the CIS tend to work in trade and construction. In 2013, the state issued quotas for 200,800 foreign workers, 100,100 of them people with medium-level qualification, 50,200 as highly qualified workers and 49,800 as low-skilled labourers3.

Healthcare and social servicesHealthcare and medical services for Moscow residents and tourists are the responsibility of the Moscow Healthcare department. The city’s healthcare system includes state (federal and regional), municipal and private medical and prophylactic institutions. Both Russian nationals and foreigners have the right to free healthcare if they have received a mandatory health insurance certificate. The rest have to pay for treatment or present a voluntary medical insurance certificate.

The capital’s healthcare system is among the strongest in the country. Moscow has, apart from city hospitals run by the Healthcare department, many specialised hospitals and federal medical centres that

attract patients from all over the country. A third of patients in Moscow hospitals are not Moscow residents1.

Despite the fact that since 2011 the birth rate in Moscow has been above the death rate, the city’s population is ageing. The number of pensioners is annually increasing by 150,000 people. Now, 2.81 million Moscow residents are pensioners2. Some 4.5 million Muscovites are receiving social benefits: World War II veterans, disabled people of all categories, families with three children, and more and low-income families with children. More than 2.1 million Moscow pensioners receive the city’s social addition to their pension2.

19

Hospitals and clinicsThe city has a three-tier ambulatory medical help system: city clinics with emergency units, intraterritory clinics and regional consultation and diagnostics centres. In 2012, some 94,200 people went to the city’s 48 hospitals offering more than 60 advanced-technology medical services, which is 40% more than in 20103.

AmbulanceMuscovites and city guests are entitled to free ambulance and urgent medical help, regardless of whether they have a compulsory medical insurance certificate or registration at their place of residence or stay. Emergency medical services are available in local hospitals 24/7, providing help for breakouts of chronic illnesses or injuries that endanger life, as well as conditions that require urgent medical treatment.

Emergency medical help units for adults1

The number of free In Vitro Fertilisation procedures available in Moscow is growing:

In 2012, emergency medical help units within ambulatory organisations conducted more than 780,000 visits. Developing the emergency system allows authorities to ease pressure off the ambulances, providing urgent medical help to those who really need it.

Its efficiency has increased by 2.5 times compared to 2010 and is now at 33-35%, which is comparable with European figures. In 2012, 462 babies were born this way.

The number of In Vitro Fertilisation procedures is to be increased via Moscow City budget, and their efficiency is expected to reach 40%.2010

Education and scienceMoscow is an important educational and scientific centre in Russia. Since scientist Mikhail Lomonosov's time, the country’s greatest minds have flocked to Moscow, which in turn has aided the city's development, including its educational system. Today, many of Russia’s best schools and universities — both state and private — are in Moscow, where talented teachers and managers implement new technologies and develop modern education processes.

The first stage in the Russian education system is pre-school (day nurseries and kindergartens) for children younger than 6-7 years. Next comes the second stage: elementary school (grades one to four), middle school (grades five to nine) and senior

school (ten and eleven). After senior school graduation, pupils have to pass the Unified State Examinations (USE). Since 2009, USE has been the main examination both as a final test in school and for admission into universities and vocational colleges in the Russian Federation. In 2012, of the 61,951 students who sat the USE, 53,211 students graduated1. The highest grade possible in Russian language was awarded to 436 Moscow school graduates (0.7%), and to 91 Moscow graduates (0.15%) in mathematics. This result was twice as high as the country-wide average in the same subjects (0.31% and 0.07% respectively)2.

The third stage of Russian education is higher education and vocational training.

Moscow is the centre of business in Russia. It is the seventh city in the world in the number of major companies’ headquarters. In the scale of business activity, Moscow is the leader among Eastern European cities: 77% of the richest Russian companies conduct their affairs from here1. The most relevant trend for the city’s commercial life is supporting small and medium business and implementing programmes on innovative activity. The Moscow government plans to create a number of benefits for companies working in this direction by 2017. For example, the tax rate for such organisations will be set at 13.5% of income received in technical parks and technopolies2.

The Skolkovo innovation complex is being built in Moscow for companies working in priority industries of the economy (IT, space, telecommunications, biomedicine, and nuclear industry). Companies that receive grants for occupancy in this complex will also receive significant benefits. They include customs and tax concessions, simplified rules of technical regulation, city-construction procedures, and simplified processes of cooperation with the authorities. Foreign investors are taking part in creating the necessary conditions for innovation companies operations in Moscow. The first one was Microsoft, which signed an agreement on cooperation and support of the capital’s start-ups3.

External trade is the main form of Moscow’s international economic connections. Accor-ding to customs statistics, in January — June 2013 companies and organisations registered in Moscow conducted trade operations with 207 countries in the world1. At the same time, the majority of these countries are constant partners. Work with them is based on long-term contracts and agreements. With quite a well-developed general geography of trade, the majority of Moscow’s trade is done with a limited number of developed countries and China.EU countries occupy a special place among Moscow external trading partners.

In external trade, Moscow is a leader among Russian regions. For now,

among all Russian Federation subjects that conduct external trade, Moscow is second only to the Central Federal Region in the volume of export and import. According to the first half of 2013 results, the share of Moscow’s export in the total Russian Federation export is 38.6%, import — 39.8%. The Central Federal Region data is 43.1% of export and 57.2% of import2.

The external trade development process has a steady nature. Trade import for January — June 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, rose by 6.1%, while export fell by 9.9%. The price of the trade import reached $58.9 billion, and export made up $90.6 billion2.

The Moscow government composes the city budget based on programme and aim plans and then Moscow City Duma has to accept it. Moscow’s Control- Audit chamber controls how the budget is followed. The city budget system consists of the Moscow city budget, the budget of state territorial Moscow city non-budget fund, and budgets of municipal organisations.

The Moscow budget is formed out of tax income, income from using property and paid-for services, sales of material and non-material assets, administrative payments, and fines and other payments. Moscow is a major financial centre

in Russia. Major taxpayers are concentrated here and the share of profit tax is a significant part — 40.8%1.

Priorities for spending the Moscow budget are population social support programmes, transport problems solutions, education and healthcare, youth policy, housing issues solution, communal property, physical education and sport, environment protection and others. The share of expenditure on the social sphere is more than 50%, and the transport development programme accepted in 2013 will be the biggest in the city’s history. Needs of Moscow areas are financed from target funds included in the city budget1.

Moscow is the biggest tourist centre in Russia. It is home to half of all the major objects of Russian cultural heritage. Moreover, the Russian capital is world-famous for its museums and theatres. A trip to Moscow for Russian schoolchildren has always been considered an essential part of the students’ education.

However, despite all its historic and cultural potential and architectural uniqueness, Moscow is far from fully realizing its tourist potential. There is room for development for Moscow's tourist sector, and the city has made massive steps in this area. Just in 2012 alone, 22 new hotels opened in Moscow, increasing the number of available rooms by 2132. In 2010-2013,

a hospitality infrastructure comparable to that in Europe was created: industrial zones were turned into modern art cluster centres, famous Moscow parks were reconstructed, and new tourist routes and tours were developed. Guests of the capital can use tourist information centres, a multi-lingual call centre, or find useful information at the www.travel2moscow.com website for tourists. The number of paid tourist services on offer is also increasing (worth some 26.7 billion rubles in 2013), creating additional workplaces for guides, drivers, canteen employees, etc. The overall income of the capital's hotel complex has reached 48.6 billion rubles in 2012; it is expected to rise by 7% in 2013, reaching 52 billion rubles1.

Moscow in ratingsThe tourism industry is developing quickly, and in order to follow all the changes as they happen, numerous marketing agencies and tourism portals annually publish attractiveness ratings for world tourism capitals.

Tourist flowIn the last three years, the flow of tourists to Moscow has been steadily growing — from 3.7 million people in 2009 to 5.2 million people in 20122.

The number of international arrivals via Moscow airports (millions)

Most tourists that come to Moscow by air are foreigners. Russians prefer to travel by train or car, and the number of domestic tourists is significantly higher than that of foreign nationals. Most tourists from outside of the CIS countries come from Germany, Italy, USA and the United Kingdom. In 2006, China joined these countries, and the number of Chinese tourists is growing by 38-48% per year. It is expected that by the end of 2013, the majority of tourists in Moscow will come from China3.

Hotels and hostelsThe number of people staying in hotels is a more accurate estimate of the numbers of tourists, as it does not include immigrant workers, but at the same time counts tourists that come to Moscow on all types of transport.

According to the Moscow tourism com-mittee, at the end of 2012 359 hotels were operating in Moscow with 42,300 rooms or 81,800 beds. After Moscow's expansion 2,500 rooms or 4,800 beds appeared in the city's hospitality register. In the first half of 2013, Moscow's hotel fund expanded by 572 rooms. In 2014, 1052 rooms for 2079 guests will be made available3.

In the early 90s, many luxury hotels with quick turnover rates appeared in Moscow, making tours to the city some of the most expensive in the world. However, recently there has been significant growth in the number of mid- and low-budget accommodations.

Since 2009, the number of small accom-modations has been growing: there are now 134 mini-hotels and 101 hostels. In the first half of 2001, 20 new hostels opened in Moscow. Most of them are located in the city centre and cost from 320 rubles per night3.

Moscow’s transport system carries some 7.35 billion passengers a year. The share of public transport in the total volume of transport is about 74%2.

In the last 12 years, the population density in Moscow rose by 100.3 people per hectare and the number of cars rose by 60%. Every year, the pressure on public transport grows. Thus, in the first half of 2013, compared to the same

period of 2012, the number of public transport passengers rose by 61 million people1. Moscow’s transport system is overloaded in general and works significantly above its capacity. Every fifth Moscow resident spends more than 3 hours a day commuting2.

Moscow government started implementing the biggest public transport development and road reconstruction programme in Europe in 2011 to solve this problem. During this time, they built 13 km of new metro lines and 8 new stations, 79 km of new roads, and they are now constructing the Third exchange contour — the Big ring metro line1. Two thirds (70%) of budget investment is spent on the city’s transport system development2.

StationsMoscow has nine railways stations. Moscow Railways (MZhD) transports almost a quarter of all passengers and 58% of regional passengers in the country. In the first quarter of 2013, 140.3 million people travelled on regional routes, which is 11.3% more than in the same period in 2012. Moscow Railways daily transports 1.64 million passengers1.

AirportsThree international airports operate in Moscow: Vnukovo, Domodedovo, and Sheremetyevo. In January — September 2013 airports served on average 11% more passengers than in the same period in 2012. The biggest increase is on flights to St Petersburg, Krasnodar, Sochi and to Spain, Italy, Turkey, Egypt and Cyprus3.

PortsMoscow has three river ports: Southern, Northern and Western and two river passenger stations: Northern and Southern. River stations provide navigation services for more than 7 million residents and guests of the capital5. Water transport in the capital is mostly used for tours. In the city centre, leisure boats cruise along Moskva River. The passenger traffic for 2011 was 0.8 million people, in 2012 — 1.3 million, and in the first half of 2013 — 0.6 million4.

RoadsHistorically, Moscow developed a radial-circle road system: 18 radial destinations and 3 ring roads — the Garden Ring, Third Transport Ring and Moscow Ring Road (MKAD). The 13 major federal routes and 15 motorways that pass through the city redistribute the main transport flows in Moscow and Russia. In the next three years, the authorities plan to open 340 km of roads, the 525 km Central ring road (CKAD) and 12 radial main roads will be reconstructed1.

Transport vehiclesMoscow metro has 190 stations, 300 km of railroads and 4,816 carriages. Every year, 2.5 billion people use it.Buses, trolleybuses, trams, and monorails represent Moscow overground passenger transport. This system has 19 bus and 8 trolleybus parks, and 5 tram depots. At the start of 2012, passengers were using 6,691 busses, 1,640 trolleybuses, 971 trams, and 48 monorail carriages. Every year, overground transport carries about 2.2 billion passengers1.

Moscow is the leading Russian region in terms of mobile communication and internet services market volume. Major communications and IT companies have offices here1. There are six intra-area post offices in the Moscow department of federal postal services. Muscovites can receive some 70 services in 528 post offices, and more than 13,000 people work at Moscow post branches2. Landlines in Moscow are provided by the monopoly on the market, one of the biggest wire communications companies in Europe — Moscow City Telephone Network (MGTS), which services some 4.4 million users3. The payphone network is not very well developed in Moscow. There are about 3,050 payphones in the city4. A Wi-Fi network is being

developed in the Moscow metro, and by the end of the year city authorities promise to provide coverage for all of Moscow’s territory with LTE standard networks.

The Moscow government actively implements new programmes of communi-cating with city residents, which helps increase efficiency on the spot. The city-wide Open Moscow project gives residents a chance to have their say and leave electronic messages with suggestions on beautification or complaints about the work on more than 70,000 objects, including 23,000 courtyards, some 30,000 multiple-flat blocks, more than 90 million square metres of serviced roads and more than 400 clinics.

Mobile connectionIn 2012, the volume of the mobile network market in Moscow was 180.77 billion rubles. Compared to 2011, the revenue of mobile network operators in the capital rose by 9.1 billion rubles5. As of the end of March 2013, the capital had 37.2 million users6. In 2012, there were 45.567 million sim-card users in Moscow and the Moscow region. It grew by 5.84% a year and it became the highest result among all Russian regions5. The mobile network market is divided into the so-called «big three» of providers: MTS, Beeline, and Megafon. MTS is the leader, with 38% of the total number of clients. VimpelCom, the company that owns the Beeline brand, is second with 35%, and Megafon has 27%. Some 0.6% use Rostelekom services6.

Internet-servicesMoscow’s Internet-provider market is dominated by five major players: MTS, who has 25% of clients thanks to its subsidiary MGTS, Akado with 19%, VimpelCom (Beeline trademark) with 18%, Rostelekom (18%) and Megafon (9%). The remaining 13% are divided between small and mostly local companies10. Quite tight competition provides quite low tariffs on Internet use. As part of the second major decrease in prices (the first happened in the late 2000s), the price of accessing the Internet at the speed of 50 Mbit per second is on average 400 rubles a month at the start of 201211. Moscow has 8.349 million continuous or sporadic Internet users, which is 71.9% of the population — the highest result among all Russian regions12.Moscow authorities are attempting to implement Wi-Fi networks into the city’s parks. Today, 14 parks offer visitors a chance to use the Internet. Overall, there are 165 Wi-Fi points in Moscow parks13.

Moscow’s property market is divided into three traditional segments: residential property, commercial property, and land. In Moscow, there are two interconnected property markets in ope-ration: the primary market (with 2–3 million square metres of real estate) and the secondary market (more than 200 million square metres)1. The main types of ownership in Moscow are municipal (state–owned), private, rented, and mortgaged. The property in Moscow is very diver- se, ranging from communal flats where several families live together to elite residences, cottages and the (still rare for Moscow) loft–style flats.

As the years go by, Moscow is changing its image and undergoing major reconstruction. Industrial zones are being converted into offices and residences, multi–storey car parks

and business centres, and malls are being built. The state is building municipal accommodation for low–income families and families with three or more children, orphans, the disabled, and residents of houses marked for demolishing.

Property and utilities management in Moscow has also undergone major changes in the past few years. Since privatisation started in 1990, property moved into private ownership and residents of communal flats moved elsewhere. There was also some property and utilities management reform, where new forms of control over the blocks of flats appeared. Muscovites receive significant support from the city government for upkeep of blocks of flats — more than 40% of the cost of property management comes from the city budget2.

Residential property fundAt the end of 2012, the state owned 22.2% of Moscow’s residential property, while 77.7% was under private ownership3. In 2012, 2.57 million square metres of residential property were completed thanks to funding from various sources, and out of that 0.53 million square metres (45 house blocks) were built on Moscow city budget money4. At the start of 2013, there were 73,217 residential house blocks in the city, with the total area of flats at 230.7 million square metres3.

New buildsMoscow has the highest rate of construction in the country. At the same time, the «target» construction — which was popular until recently — is gradually giving way to multiple-building developments. Investors funded the biggest segment of residential construction in Moscow (about 70%) in the last few years. In the first 9 months of 2013, 5.8 million square metres of property was completely developed in Moscow, 61% more than during the same period in 20125.There is a positive dynamic of commercial property construction. In the first quarter of 2013, 260,000 square metres of warehouse property was completed, which is a 4% rise compared to last year6.

Property pricesThe Moscow property market is quite attractive for investors, and thus is not very susceptible to fluctuations. The price of commercial and retail property varies depending on the distance from the city centre and the property’s class and quality.

Prices indicated without considering elite property and non-typical flats, as they could distort the general picture towards higher figures

Total number of flats offered in Moscow for rent is about 35,500. In September 2013, the average price of rent for a one-bedroom economy class flat within the Garden Ring was some 70,000 rubles a month, while in other areas it rarely exceeded 42,000 rubles a month1.The number of A- and B-class commercial property offers in the first quarter of 2012 was close to 260,000 square metres, almost twice as much as in the same period of the previous year8. The average price of rent for B-class offices fluctuates between $370 (for properties outside of business centre) and $750 per square metre per year, while retail and warehouse premises cost from $831 to $1745 per square metre per year9.

Major projectsMany major property projects were completed in the last few years in Moscow. Among them:

Moscow-City international business centre (during construction); Triumph-Palace skyscraper — the tallest residential building in Europe at 264.1 metres; Continental multi-function high-rise residential development for 508 flats; City of Capitals development with two high-rise towers: Moscow (76 floors) and St Petersburg (69 floors), including 101,000 square metres of residential apartments and a business centre;

Major residential projects: New Vatutinki, Tsaritsyno, Izmailovsky, Barkli Park, Dom na Trubetskoy.

Interesting factMany Muscovites dream about working in the city and living in a private house, especially since there is very little difference between the price of a flat in central Moscow and a house in a well-developed village. However, the transport problem is limiting high-rise construction. In order to solve the issue, the Moscow government is reconstructing the major streets — Varshavskoye, Kashirskoye, Kaluzhskoye highway — and is building new metro stations.

Moscow, like all major cities, has some ecological difficulties. In the past year, 999,000 tons of polluting agents were released into the atmosphere in the city, 92% of them from car exhaust1. In many ways, the pollution is explained by the large number of residents of the capital and, accordingly, the number of cars per capita. There are currently 380 cars per 1000 residents, totalling 3.7 million transport vehicles2. Forty-eight Moscow areas suffer from unfavourable ecological situations: the main pollutants there are nitrogen oxide and sulphur oxide as well as hydrocarbons. The situation is considered “difficult” in 32 areas, while 38 areas have more favourable conditions1.

In these conditions, the capital’s authorities take any possible measures to normalize the ecological situation. A programme developed to last until 2016 on environment protection should help lower the number of emissions into the atmosphere and increase the number of parks, alleys and nature reserve territories. A significant amount of money is allocated for these needs — the volume of financing for parks, for example, was 6,5 billion rubles in 20122. Pollution in the Moscow’s water reservoirs has also been tackled: water quality and hydro-meteorological data are constantly monitored and sewer waters are controlled by a signal stations system. Automatic control stations for water in Moskva River are scheduled to be built: two at the entrance to the city and one at the exit3.

It combines preservation of its historical heritage and restoration of cultural objects with an active programme for opening new theatres, libraries, museums, and exhibition spaces. Moscow now has 4,969 cultural heritage objects, including buildings, monuments, gardens and parks, archaeological objects, and historical and military cemeteries.

The Bolshoi Theatre, the Mayakovsky, Yermolova, and Gogol drama theatres, the Kuklachyov Cat Theatre, the Ten theatre, and the Planetarium all re-opened after major reconstructions. The exposition of the Borodino Battle panorama-museum

was reorganised, and Manezh received a new concept, placing a new emphasis on exhibitions by world art figures.

A record number of organisations (382) took park in Historical and cultural heritage days in Moscow. During the year, more than 4 million people visited cultural institutions for free, and 900,000 of them took part in the Night at the Museum event. More than 96,000 people also participated in The Whole Family — to the Theatre event2.

In 2012, the government supported 31 inno-vation projects in theatre art (16 of them at drama theatres and 15 at music theatres), and altogether more than 40 major theatre festivals took place in the city2.
