The Russian Government has approved a long-term program, "Preservation of Cultural Heritage Sites of the Peoples of the Russian Federation," for 2025-2045 . Order No. 3773-r, dated December 12, 2025, includes not only an action plan but also a methodology for evaluating the results.

The document sets strategic priorities for state heritage protection policy over the next 20 years and outlines clear implementation mechanisms, from interdepartmental cooperation to annual reporting.

What does this mean for the professional community? Key areas of importance for designers, restorers, experts, and managers:

- Improving the regulatory framework and reducing administrative barriers - simplifying design and assessment procedures. - Development of digital systems for recording and monitoring objects, as well as the integration of registries;

- Personnel training: by 2030, it is planned to train at least 3,000 certified specialists;

- Bringing objects to a satisfactory condition and integrating them into economic circulation with an emphasis on preserving the value of heritage;

The program shapes the institutional architecture for heritage preservation for decades to come and directly influences industry practices.
