This decision was made by Russian President Vladimir Putin following a working meeting held on January 17 as part of the Forum of Small Towns and Historical Settlements in Kolomna, Moscow Region.
The Ministry of Construction of Russia received about 450 applications to participate in the competition. As a result, 80 best winning projects were selected. “We pay great attention to the openness of this competition. Improvement projects underwent public discussions and received approval from citizens.”, - emphasized Andrey Chibis, Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of the Russian Federation.
“We saw projects for the development of specific public areas, all work was carried out high level. The authors took into account cultural and historical heritage of this or that city, tried to emphasize its identity. This was one of the main criteria for evaluating received applications,”- noted Sergei Kuznetsov, a member of the competition jury, the chief architect of Moscow.
The success of new public spaces, concluded Sergei Kuznetsov, largely lies in attention to the real needs of citizens and the rejection of official show-off pomp.
In addition, as part of the event, on May 29, the final of the competition for the most landscaped yard “Relay Race for Development, Harmony and Community” took place. According to the terms of the competition, the winner will receive a grant for landscaping the yard in the amount of 1 million rubles.

“The competition, supported by the Russian Ministry of Construction, will allow us to implement ideas for improving several courtyards of apartment buildings. Their residents have already started improving their local areas and will be able to receive financial support to continue this work. This is an excellent example of how the implementation of a priority project to create a comfortable urban environment helps attract private investment in improvement,”- Andrey Chibis emphasized.
The lists of winners of the All-Russian competition of historical settlements and small towns have been announced. The authors of 80 projects, representing 44 constituent entities of the Russian Federation, will receive from the federal budget from 30 to 100 million rubles.

As a member of the federal competition commission, the first deputy leader of the faction, noted, “ United Russia" V State Duma Victor Kidyaev, the event turned out to be grandiose and very difficult; the Ministry of Construction of Russia did an excellent job with its organization. The organizers accepted 455 applications from 82 regions, conducted an initial technical selection, and then selected the best projects in several stages. We appreciated the work of professional architects, the literacy of municipal heads, and the creative approach of teams of ordinary proactive citizens who love their cities and villages and want to make them more comfortable.
“Let me remind you that the competition for small towns and historical settlements was held by the decision of our President Vladimir Putin. And initially the topic was raised back in August last year in Kirov, at a meeting of the Council for the Development of Local Self-Government under the President of the Russian Federation. In particular, on behalf of the All-Russian Congress of Municipalities, a report was presented on the state of affairs in local self-government of the Russian Federation, including in historical settlements,” said Kidyaev.
The head of state then supported the idea of providing additional assistance to historical settlements and those municipalities, in the territories of which objects of special historical and cultural value are located. Based on the results of the council, he instructed to develop specific proposals for additional development mechanisms. Already in January of this year, at a forum in Kolomna, experts discussed details on each of the current areas of development of small and historical cities: the creation comfortable environment for living, the condition and modernization of housing and communal services, the development of cultural and tourism potential, the involvement of residents and businesses in development projects, and so on.
“The result of all this work deserves high praise. I really hope that winning the competition will bring great benefits to the settlements, give an impetus to development, and inspire local residents to new socially useful projects. I would especially like to congratulate the city of Elabuga and the village of Bilyarsk in Tatarstan, the Dagestan urban district of Derbent and the city of Suzdal Vladimir region– they scored the highest final scores in the “Historical Settlements” category. The bonus to municipalities that took the first 20 places in this nomination is 50 million rubles,” the deputy noted.

A promenade in the style of the best seaside resorts or just an ideal embankment. From a bird's eye view - a thoughtful pattern. Let's go lower. Everything is convenient and to the point: there is a place for sailing and for those who prefer a sun lounger to activities. This Small town Oktyabrsk on the Volga. And he needs just such an embankment.
“The city has an unusual geography: it is 27 km long and no more than one km wide. That is, each resident walks one km coastline. And it was simply unfair to leave people without a landscaped beach area,” says project developer Igor Stepanenko.
The author of the project, Oktyabrsk resident Igor Stepanenko, looks to the future. Now we are confident: there will be an embankment. 80 million rubles were allocated for this. The project won All-Russian competition small towns and historical settlements.
There are about nine hundred of them in total. Some can only be found with a magnifying glass on a map of the country. Tourists come for history and nature, but residents sometimes lack basic comfort: a park, a public garden. Changing the urban environment of small towns and historical settlements is an order of the President of Russia. New embankments and playgrounds are being built at the expense of federal and regional budgets.
“Small towns can become truly large centers, in terms of tourism, in terms of the development of art, economics, culture, and science. There are a lot of such examples in the world, but here too such examples are multiplying,” said Vladimir Putin.
Vladimir Putin said these words in January at the forum of small towns and historical settlements in Kolomna. Following the forum, he instructed the government to allocate 5 billion rubles annually to support the best projects. That's when it all started. We launched a competition. Almost 500 applications were received. The best was 80.
Himself ancient city Russia, Derbent, needs new streets. Zheleznovodsk needs a cascade staircase from the upper park to the lower one.
“I would really like to give him life. Because for vacationers this is a godsend. I would like it to be more beautiful than Kislovodsk,” says Elena Shchepeleva.
And historically, the grain merchant Elabuga in Tatarstan received 50 million - they will put the main square of the city in order.
Minimum participation of officials, maximum participation of residents. They voted on the Internet and gathered public councils.
The city of Magas is the youngest capital in Russia and one of the most advanced: bicycle paths, bus stops with heated floors. Here you will find an electronic library and a phone charger. But active residents of Magas have one more idea - to have a view of the park from the Tower of Concord. And every bench, every flowerbed there was, from this vantage point, part of the national Ingush pattern.
“Winning 30 million and participating in this competition is such an honor. Especially for us, the volunteers, who proposed this idea and it won,” says volunteer Zalina Plieva.
The Ministry of Construction has already decided: the All-Russian competition of improvement projects will become an annual event.
“It is important that the project works, opens new jobs, and generates more taxes. The key task is for this to be an impetus to economic development municipalities,” said Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of the Russian Federation Andrei Chibis.
A movement to support small towns and historic settlements has been launched across the country. And the main people in it are those who want their comfort not to end at the door of their apartment, so that locals don’t want to leave small towns, and tourists always want to come back.
