Sobyanin spoke about the city's measures to support the older generation of Muscovites

Moscow has entered the top three regions of Russia in terms of life expectancy, having made a breakthrough in the field of healthy and active longevity. This was announced by the mayor of the capital, Sergei Sobyanin, in his channel in the MAX.

Among the important programs in this area, the mayor named, in particular, the constantly developing Moscow Longevity project, in which "older citizens can maintain their health, engage in self-development, share experiences, and implement their own projects and ideas." "Over the past 8 years, more than 740,000 people have become participants in the program," the mayor wrote. "The project offers over 100 types of activities for classes, from lawn tennis and yoga to a movie club and city tours."

The project now has more than 140 centers, and about a thousand organizations are partners of Moscow Longevity. In 2025, new programs were launched, including for the preservation of cognitive skills and psycho-emotional health, ceremonies for spouses celebrating the anniversary of living together. A single class calendar has also been introduced.

According to Sobyanin, 1.8 million people receive a city pension supplement. In addition, non-working pensioners are entitled to various benefits, including free travel in urban and suburban transport.

"Lump—sum payments are being paid to centenarians and anniversaries of married life who have been married for more than 50 years - last year there were more than 29.1 thousand couples," the mayor added.

In October, Sobyanin said that among the hundreds of areas of the Moscow Longevity program, the most popular were educational courses on digital literacy, history and local history. Older Muscovites are also interested in excursions around Moscow. The "School of Health" is also in demand, where doctors talk about proper nutrition, prevention of heart and vascular diseases, diabetes and osteoporosis.
