The XII Environmental Forum with the participation of foreign experts began in Voronezh Posting in CHAT: Russia The opening of the XII Environmental Forum took place in Voronezh. A special feature of this year’s program will be the work of the Anticyclone Department of Practical Political Science, where foreign experts will talk about NATO’s aggressive plans to create biological laboratories, why ordinary people in Western countries support Russia, and also give a political assessment. international situation. RIA Voronezh correspondents took part in the event. The panel discussion was attended by Deputy Governor of the Voronezh Region Dmitry Maslov, NTV war correspondent, member of the Central Headquarters of the Popular Front Ilya Ushenin, editor-in-chief of the Journalism magazine. and Media-Market magazine, Secretary of the Union of Journalists of Russia Vladimir Kasyutin, Vice-President of the Voronezh regional branch of the Union of Journalists of Russia Oleg Meshcheryakov, Dean of the Faculty of Journalism of Voronezh State University Vladimir Tulupov, Director On behalf of Governor Alexander Gusev, the participants were welcomed by the Bulgarian TV channel and the information site Rosen Ilchev and information security expert Egor Lukyanchikov. He noted that in a rapidly changing world, new interesting topics for discussion always appear on the agenda. Therefore, the importance of such forums does not weaken – several wars are being waged against Russia today. The first is on the front line, where our heroes with weapons in their hands on the line of combat contact defend the interests of our country. They invest the most precious thing in future Victory - their own health, and sometimes even their lives. The second war is economic. Since 2022, more than 15 thousand various economic sanctions have been introduced against our country. We withstood this blow, and the economy not only survived, but is growing in many ways. A good example is our beloved Voronezh region, whose economic indicators today have positive dynamics and largely exceed the Russian average,” said Dmitry Maslov. The Deputy Governor noted that another area is information warfare. The attackers are often relatives of the victims. participants in a special operation who are deliberately pushed into various provocations, and young people - the Internet space is a key source of information for young people, and its content is not always controlled. We cannot always take appropriate measures to stop the spread. Harmful information is used for intimidation, criminal activity, and can also contribute to the creation of informal destructive communities. All this, unfortunately, cannot be done without the participation of foreign intelligence services. The appropriate response will be our joint consolidation. an information environment aimed at involving us in constructive activities, emphasized Dmitry Maslov. The Deputy Governor also noted that provoking interreligious and interethnic conflicts is also one of the directions of the information war. Dmitry Maslov noted that it is important to respect the values and traditions of all peoples; Secretary of the Union of Journalists of Russia Vladimir Kasyutin noted that he is very glad that the Voronezh Media Forum is still alive, because many regions have left them. Large-scale events - There are many local publications, including in the Voronezh region, they are quite influential in social networks today, because there are hundreds of thousands of views, there are quite lively discussions. Today, a small Russian-language publication works not only with its subscribers, but also with the entire Russian-speaking audience. One of the problems today is that people don't always understand who professional journalists are and who just disseminates information. And our task is to show how content produced by professional media differs from amateur content. Because if there is no serious newsroom, then there will be nothing in journalism as a social institution. The Voronezh region is one of the few regions where local publications are preserved and developed, said Vladimir Kasyutin. At the general meeting, the topic of information security was also touched upon, but not from the point of view of conventional protection against virus attacks, but from the mental and. cognitive safety. Media expert Yegor Lukyanchikov spoke on this topic: “Is it possible to ensure information security without limiting freedom of speech?” I think so. Here everything depends on the coordinate system in which we are located. If we agree among ourselves that we have a common value system, we all share it, support it, we have a common worldview, which means that by ensuring information security, we will not violate freedom of speech, because there is a certain standard for us. The second stage is the normative consolidation of these values, and only the third stage is the technical support of this information security. It all depends on where we start and how we go. I believe that we are now on the right path. We have already come to the conclusion that, after all, traditional values are one of the ties between our state and the people living with us. We are already beginning to formally consolidate this both in legislation and in terms of including the protection of traditional values in the national security strategy,” the expert noted. After the panel discussion, Deputy Governor of the Voronezh Region Dmitry Maslov, in a conversation with journalists, noted that it is very important to consolidate and find a compromise on complex issues. The media needs to accurately and objectively cover all events: “Today the department is headed by foreign specialists, and this is very pleasant. that we are united by common values, despite the political differences that the leadership of Western countries is generating today. We see that the citizens of these countries do not always think the same way as their politicians. The vast majority of them are very friendly towards Russia. We are committed to dialogue and contact, and understand perfectly well that we are on the good side,” emphasized Dmitry Maslov. According to RIA Voronezh, on the eve of the Environmental Forum, the Governor of the Voronezh Region, Alexander Gusev, met with foreign guests and invited experts from the region. . event At the meeting, issues of protecting traditional values, preserving the memory of the heroic deeds of our ancestors, as well as the relationship between the authorities and the media during a period of global political “turbulence” were discussed.

The commissioning of apartment buildings in Russia decreased by a quarter, experts explained why this is due – May 15, 2024 Posting in CHAT: Russia Compared to last year, the volume of housing commissioned by the population increased by 22%. Source: Oleg Fedorov/CHITA.RU In the first quarter of 2024, the Russian real estate market experienced a noticeable decline in the commissioning of apartment buildings. According to the Kommersant publication, the volume of commissioning of such facilities decreased by 27% compared to the same period last year. At the same time, the opposite trend is observed in the individual housing construction (IHC) segment. Compared to last year, the volume of housing commissioned by the population increased by 22%. This suggests that Russians increasingly prefer to build their own houses rather than buy apartments. MSK1.RU turned to experts to find out the reasons for the decrease in the supply of apartments and how this will affect prices. According to the director of the Center for Market Research at the Institute of Statistical Research and Economics of Knowledge of the National Research Center of the University Higher School of Economics Georgiy Ostapkovich, several factors influenced the decrease in construction volumes. Firstly, last year developers actively completed previously started projects to meet the high demand for real estate. Secondly, they are forced to slow down the pace of work so as not to create an oversupply. Thirdly, according to Ostapkovich, the slowdown in the pace of construction is influenced by developers’ concerns about the decrease in the solvency of the population. In large cities, especially in cities with a population of over a million, about 40% of already built houses cannot be sold. Today the main problem is not how to build a house, but how to sell it. That's why builders are adapting to demand, and it's a smart tactic. When they feel demand has increased, they will increase the volume again. Everything will depend on the real disposable income of the population and the situation with preferential mortgages. If the population has money, there will be construction. The population has no money - construction will slow down, the expert notes, 40% of already built houses are not for sale Source: Maxim Serkov/NGS42.RU Oleg Sviridov, real estate expert, blogger and business coach, adds something else. the reason for the reduction in the number of houses put into operation Changes in the legislation began to put houses into operation, especially a moratorium on postponing the commissioning of a facility - There is now a moratorium on the fact that developers can postpone the commissioning of a facility. Or maybe developers do this because of some business processes. Perhaps technically they are pushing that deadline back. That’s how I would describe it,” he explains. Which can lead to a decrease in volumes. Experts do not expect that the reduction in the commissioning of new buildings will lead to a significant drop in housing prices. Rather, on the contrary, all other things being equal, this may raise prices due to a decrease in supply - If volumes fall, I cannot say that the price should fall. And vice versa, when you have a surplus in construction and supply exceeds demand, the price falls. Currently, the price remains the same, but with a background decrease,” notes Georgy Ostapkovich and notes that the price on the main market will continue to rise. “I can’t say that the price will go down. Most likely, it will continue to grow, but may not always correspond to the financial model that the developer has laid down, the expert adds. Is it dangerous to invest in housing under construction or is it a risky venture? Georgy Ostapkovich believes that the risks for shareholders are now minimal thanks to the introduction of escrow accounts “If housing has already begun, construction has its own relationship with banks, this is an extremely rare option when housing is not rented out. Unless it’s a developer. That is, this situation can simply continue, but at the moment this is extremely rare, only the terms can be extended, says Georgy Ostapkovich in the same number as the shareholders. 3-4 years ago thanks to changes in the system Source: Maxim Serkov/NGS42.RU Oleg Sviridov also shares this point of view. He is confident that the escrow account system provides reliable protection for shareholders’ investments.” They are now buying residential and commercial properties. I'm looking at reserve accounts, so I don't think there will be a collapse here. People buying real estate are most afraid that the construction will not be completed, they will abandon it and you will be left with nothing. Now I can’t even name such examples. Are deadlines missed? Yes sometimes. But I don’t have such examples of a complete abandonment of the residential complex,” he adds, why the individual housing construction segment is growing against the backdrop of a severe downturn in the residential housing sector. growth - by 22% in the first quarter of 2024. This is due to state programs for rural mortgages and stable demand for suburban housing,” says Oleg Sviridov. Banks do not always issue loans for city real estate, but now people can borrow money for country real estate. Perhaps someone refused to buy an apartment and turned to the country market to build a house for themselves. In addition, after the pandemic, people want separate housing, where there is more nature and air. “As a specialist in the real estate market, I see that money has flowed into the suburban market, and if money has flowed, it means housing is being built,” says expert Georgy Ostapkovich, who believes that the growing popularity of individual housing construction is a positive trend that reflects the real needs of the population. He notes that this format of housing meets the needs of families with children. “In apartment buildings, now 40-45 percent of what people buy are apartments with a maximum area of 30-35 meters. These are actually studios. The government is raising the demographic problem. What demographics can there be in a 30-meter apartment? If people plan to have one, two, three children, they begin to build a house of the appropriate size. the population on their own, and not from these apartment buildings - “settlements” without parking in the middle of the asphalt. “I believe that this is a normal trend, a good one,” the expert concludes, “that residents of the largest Russian cities are spending. 40% of your income goes to paying for rented housing. Renting housing is the most expensive for Muscovites, who can spend up to half their salary on living expenses. Source link Source link
