今天咱们来聊一聊俄罗斯总统普京即将再次访华，他的专机和专车有什么特点？

大家知道应我国的邀请俄罗斯总统普京将于5月16日到17日对我国进行国事访问，普京总统刚刚当选新一任的俄罗斯总统，5月份的大选，阅兵刚刚结束，内阁总理部长官员刚刚任命完，第一件事情就是访问中国，足以看出俄中关系在普京心目中的重要性。         Aerial view of Shanghai's skyline Photo: VCGEditor's Note: 
An international metropolis on the shores of the East China Sea, a new migrant city rising from the Gobi Desert... China's cities embody a remarkable range of forms and efforts etched across a diverse range of landscapes, all of which is reflected in the everyday lives of ordinary people.
No two cities look alike, yet the standard by which we measure a city's warmth is familiar: Is there a place to rest safely? Is there a hot, decent meal to eat? Is there a corner where even the most vulnerable are treated with care and dignity? These seemingly small details are, in fact, what make a city truly moving.
The Global Times is launching a new series, "China City Talk." In this series, we explore cities across China, focusing on the everyday rhythms of life shaped by the human warmth of public policy and the quiet ways urban governance transforms individual lives. These stories offer one of the clearest windows into contemporary China.
Inside a historic red-brick building that houses a Party-mass service complex, run by a local grass-roots organization of the Communist Party of China (CPC), Kunqu opera enthusiast Li Qin rehearses with her retired friends. Many of the complex's spaces are open to the public, and in its elegantly old-fashioned hall, the arias of the classical opera float gently through the air.
At an AI-equipped community canteen for the elderly, a robotic arm skillfully prepares bowls of noodles. Affordable dishes line the serving windows, and 62-year-old Ao Yongjian, who lives nearby, joins the queue as he always does, choosing the dishes he likes.
In a mixed-use commercial block, a class at a rehabilitation center for children with autism is suddenly interrupted by a sharp cry from 9-year-old Xiaozheng (pseudonym). A volunteer beside him gently takes his hand and comforts him in a soft voice.
In Shanghai, scenes like these unfold almost every day, in every corner of the city. From some 12,000 Party-masses service complexes to more than 500 community elderly canteens and the city's first summer vacation care program for children with autism, this metropolis is responding to the needs of every single citizen with remarkable care and precision.

A shared home
With its photogenic looks and downtown location, a Party-masses service complex in the Jing'an district's Shimen Road No.2 subdistrict has gone viral on social media, drawing visitors from near and far almost every day.
Set beside Suzhou Creek, the service complex is made up of three century-old, red brick villas. After being restored in September 2025, many areas were reopened to the public free of charge. Residents now come here to read, chat, dance, and even play chess with AI robots.
There is also a "care station," which provides convenient services for couriers, delivery riders and other workers on the go.
At noon, courier Wang Jun stopped by to warm up his lunch and take a short break. He told the Global Times that, because he is always busy, he used to eat lunch squatting by the roadside, or grab a brief rest in the lobbies of some companies. "Now that this place is here, I can eat a hot meal at noon and get out of the rain when it pours," he said with a smile. "It feels like home."
Delivery rider Wang Shuwei first came here on a rainy day while delivering food. On her period at the time, she found the restroom, only to realize she had forgotten to bring a pad. Fortunately, a janitor pointed out that the "care station" offered free pads.
"At that moment, I thought, how can something be this good?" Wang said. She has since become a regular. "The words 'Party-masses service complex' used to sound like something that had nothing to do with me. But after coming here, I realized there are real services here, and the staff are all very kind."
Behind these services lies carefully conducted surveys of nearby residents.
According to He Hanqing, director of the service complex, the renovation began after more than 1,000 feedback forms were collected online and offline. "Many residents wanted the complex to be closer to Suzhou Creek. They wanted a community canteen, while some young people wanted a shared office space, and parents wanted areas to play with their children," she said. They then integrated indoor and outdoor spaces into a single design, extending the renovation to include the surrounding Suzhou Creek promenade and the space beneath nearby bridges.
Today, the service complex receives an average of 4,000 visits a day. More than 30 percent of visitors come from outside the local community, 12 percent are tourists from elsewhere in China, and 7.7 percent are from overseas, according to data provided by the complex staff. In this highly urban complex, where rent for commercial land is extremely expensive, the place has become a shared home for many.
"We are not doing the math in terms of economic returns, but in terms of public sentiment," He Hanqing told the Global Times. "It is worth it to open up precious land to the public for free."
Warming stomachs and hearts
Around 11 am in Shanghai's Hongqiao subdistrict, the aroma of freshly cooked food drifts out of a community canteen. Named a "community canteen for the elderly," it is actually open to everyone, not just seniors.
Through a glass wall, a robotic arm in the back kitchen deftly picks up a tray of washed vegetables and delivers it into an intelligent cooking chamber. Within minutes, stir-fried cabbage is ready to serve. Braised pork, zucchini with scrambled eggs… more than a dozen dishes stand neatly lined up across the counter
Opened in 2021, this is one of Shanghai's earliest AI community canteens. The dishes here are prepared by machines and an AI system. According to the canteen's manager, Dong Yong, the system contains more than 3,000 recipes and can precisely regulate oil and salt use. Beyond its AI features, the canteen also offers full traceability for its ingredients, from procurement to processing.
What really puts diners at ease, however, are the prices. A vegetarian dish costs 4.5 yuan (67 cents), meat dishes range from 6 to 9 yuan, and some specialty items sell for 12 to 18 yuan, according to a price list on the wall. 
Seniors aged 60 and above can enjoy discounts and subsidies. "A meal here costs me about 15 yuan on average - it's tasty and a good value," said resident Ao. Since retiring, Ao has come almost every day.
So how can the canteen turn a profit while charging below-market prices? He Junting, an official from the Hongqiao subdistrict, explained that the canteen is part of a government-supported partnership. 
The local government provides the venue rent-free, allowing the restaurant to pass on the savings to customers. "That's why the prices are so affordable," she told the Global Times.
After choosing her dishes, a 70-year-old resident surnamed Du sat down at a table and chatted with the Global Times as she ate. Her husband is in the hospital, leaving her little time to cook for herself, so she comes here for lunch four or five days a week.
"The food here is healthy and the prices are friendly. I don't have to bother buying groceries or washing dishes myself," Du said. "The government really has solved an important problem for us older people."
During lunchtime, white-haired seniors, office workers and cleaning staff alike share the same dining space, giving the canteen a lively, down-to-earth atmosphere. Whether powered by AI or run in more traditional ways, these affordable community canteens can be found in nearly every neighborhood across Shanghai - warming both stomachs and hearts.

Much love and care
This summer, Shanghai launched a pilot program for children with autism in three districts, including Changning, marking the city's first attempt at such a summer daycare service.
The Palm Star Children's Rehabilitation Service Center, a professional rehab facility for children with autism, is located in Changning. There, 10 children attend the program, with each child paired with a volunteer.
In the classroom, laughter mixes with sudden cries. When one child has an emotional outburst, a volunteer gently calms him down; when another seems lost in her own world, the volunteer stays by her side, guiding her patiently.
Xiaozheng has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. When his mother fell ill and his father grew busy caring for her, his grandmother was left to look after him alone. In previous summers, Xiaozheng could only stay at home. This year, however, the summer vacation program gave the boy somewhere to go.
Each session of the program lasts three weeks and costs only 600 yuan - less than one-tenth of what a commercial institution might charge. For families like Xiaozheng's, which are struggling financially, this fee is covered by the local government.
In Shanghai, children with physical, intellectual or mental disabilities also receive annual care and living subsidies.
Caring for children with autism is a lifelong process, and summer vacations have long been a gap in that support, said Chu Lin, director of the center. She explained that the program is the result of joint efforts from government subsidies, social organizations and donations from caring enterprises. "Every child has the right to education. By learning here and practicing simple daily living skills and social interaction, we hope their situation can gradually improve."
Among the volunteers is 21-year-old Kalahala Nuerbaishan, a university student majoring in special education. Before taking up her post, she and the other volunteers completed two rounds of professional training. 
She shared that at the program, one boy under her care had been silent all day at first, but now he raises his hand to ask for tissues on his own. "Small progress like that gives me a great sense of accomplishment," the volunteer told the Global Times.
Lunchtime arrives. Accompanied by volunteers, the children wash their hands, line up and collect their meals. Some are already seated; others are still restless. Yet the special education teachers and volunteers remain patient, trying again and again to communicate with them.
In Shanghai, the most scenic stretch along the Suzhou Creek waterfront has been left for ordinary residents; the most advanced technology is being used to prepare three meals a day; and the most professional expertise is supporting the most vulnerable children. 
This metropolis, as many people living there told the Global Times, is interpreting the meaning of "cities are built by the people, for the people" in the quiet, everyday acts of care that speak the loudest.
。那我们国家很多俄罗斯和普京的粉丝非常关注普京的专机和专车，咱们就来系统的聊一聊。

大家依稀还记得上一次普京总统访华是2023年的10月17日，他乘坐的专机叫伊尔-96降落在首都北京。那么不只是这一架飞机，很早之前相关准备工作就开始了。

二 | 在10月15日俄罗斯的空天军第224特别飞行队出动了5架伊尔-76的运输机。

三 | 大家注意总统专机来之前，有5架运输机把他的所需的车辆设备和人员提前得运到北京来。另外安保措施也非常严密，俄罗斯外长拉夫罗夫在提前一天抵达北京，其实就是看这个安保流程的。

那为了确保总统的出行和安全，俄罗斯方面是派出了大量的人员做这个准备工作。你看比如说伊尔-76运输机，所需的车辆，仪器，设备，人员都提前运到中国来。那么同时当天在伊尔-96专机起飞的同时，也有专机进行陪护，配备的是图214PU，图204-300和猎鹰7X等飞机，为总统专机全方位的保障和支持。

那咱们先说一说这个伊尔96，它是一款四发的客机，它这个长航程能力非常强，可以连续飞行将近1万公里。其中这个伊尔96叫M型的航程更是超过了11,482公里，它是在伊尔86的基础上研发的。这个飞机可以说能达到就是总统在哪里，哪里就是指挥中心啊，他那个PU的意思就是指挥中心，总统在哪里哪里就是指挥中心。而且这个伊尔96这个机身长度是55.35米，翼展是60.12米，内部装饰也很好，用新古典主义风格皮革家具，胡桃木贴面，金色装饰，包括各种功能设施，有办公室，也包括像会议室，休闲室，休息室，健身房，大餐厅，酒吧，多个淋浴间，甚至内部可以进行独立的手术。所以大家可以想象，伊尔96具备多种武器系统，包括什么雷达涂层和防空系统等等。

这个专机就如此不简单了，咱们再来说说这个专车，那更不简单。咱不说别的，作为国家领导人，各国的领导的专车都得配备专属的这个设计。不但要求舒适，而且关键都有很高的防护级别，甚至能防止住一般的轻武器，乃至炸弹和火箭筒。

四 |

大家都知道因为媒体的报道美国总统拜登那个专车号称野兽，除了豪华的内部配置和先进的通信科技，他那个防御能力真的很强大。那个野兽的轿车的车门大家可以猜一下这个厚度是多少？据说能达到20厘米左右，各位什么叫20厘米呢？波音747的客机的舱门也就20厘米厚，所以你想一个汽车的车门跟一个飞机的舱门一样厚啊。

五 | 你可以想象全身上下就涂满了复合装甲，足以抵抗反坦克火箭筒和爆炸物的袭击。

六 | 而且这个野兽还装备了空气循环装置，自动灭火系统，红外夜视摄像头，甚至导弹告警，干扰设置等等一系列装置。

七 | 可以说是世界上最安全的机动载具了。那么咱们中国领导的专车一般都是红旗系列，这个不用说了，那是连拜登都叫好的车呀。

那你看对比中国美国两国领导人的座驾，其实俄罗斯总统普京的专车有些特殊，我查了一下资料，在很长的一段时间里，俄罗斯总统的专车没有采用国产品牌。你看这个是很令人遗憾的。作为大国国家领导的专车不得用国产品牌吗？没有。一开始一直是德国的奔驰就是普京的专车，曾经是S600普尔曼。那你看这就跟中美一对比就有点问题。所以普京一直希望有一个本土国产的专车。

那么这个任务就交给了俄罗斯国产汽车品牌叫阿鲁斯。于是普京的专车叫金色俄罗斯就诞生了。光是研制就花费了6年时间，这个车型总投资达到12亿美元，所以现在这个金色俄罗斯比美国总统的野兽，比我们红旗那个N701都要大。防护也同样达到最高级别。甚至可以防御轻重武器的攻击。

那么有人说这个金色俄罗斯的这个车身强度怎么样？我看到可以阻挡一定口径的炮弹，更别说一般的火箭筒了啊。这个金色俄罗斯有研制公司说了，只有重型串联穿甲弹头的火箭弹才可能对他造成一点威胁。

八 | 所以你看他这个防御级别真的是非常的高啊。这也和现在国际政治军事形势有关联。普京的这个安保措施那肯定是俄罗斯非常重视的一个方面。

所以大家可以看到从专机到专车，到配套的安保行为，这个准备工作是非常重要的。哪怕出动几架运输机，那也要把相关的总统的专车，设备，仪器，都要提前运输到中国来。所以我想普京总统访华的背后还有这些故事值得我们去关注。
