The Opening Ceremony of the Healthy Society Space
We cannot simply offer traditional support for the production of medicines or medical devices. We need to think about new technologies.

Russia's Labour Market: The State of Labour Potential and Mechanisms of Its Development
The education system needs to be developed and the approaches to how career guidance should be offered needs to be revised not only in secondary specialized or higher education, but also at schools. [...] The proportion of skilled workers has declined significantly in recent years because there has been a serious overflow into higher education. We are not in favour of banning higher education. We are just saying that if we are spending money on such higher education and increasing the number of state-funded places, [...] then we must train young people so that they react to the challenges facing the country and ensure the technological sovereignty that we are all talking about with their professions

Russia's Labour Market: The State of Labour Potential and Mechanisms of Its Development
To what extent do the people who are looking for work today […] meet the demands of the labour market? Unemployed [people in Russia] mostly have a vocational education, but this vocational education does not meet the needs of the economy that exist today – neither the needs of the manufacturing sector, nor the needs of industry, [...] nor the needs that exist today in the construction industry, and so on. The list is quite long. [...] In order to ensure technological sovereignty, we need about a million people in the next five years. These are the most conservative estimates

Fiscal and Tax Policy as Factors Affecting Economic Growth
We will have to hold a dialogue not only at the federal level, but with all 85 regions about what real measures and what real indicators are behind the implementation of the priorities that we have given the simple names of education, healthcare, demography, etc. This is important because the position should be consolidated. If there is a fragmented approach to the sectors, nothing good will come of it. We did not have a very good experience in the previous 6 years, when this internal disconnection led to the regional budgets’ being severely unbalanced on account of their additional obligations.
