About the project "Russian Language: Reading, Listening, Watching in the CIS Countries".

The primary idea behind the creation of the project "Russian Language: Reading, Listening, Watching in the CIS Countries" is to strengthen cultural and humanitarian cooperation with the post-Soviet countries, which are connected not only by a common geographical territory but also by a shared history. The complex political situation in the world has significantly altered the status of the Russian language and the perception of the Russian nation as a whole. As noted in the Presidential Decree of the Russian Federation No. 611 dated 05.09.2022, "Support and promotion of the Russian language is an integral part of the educational mission of the Russian Federation abroad, a crucial tool for political-economic, cultural-humanitarian, and scientific-educational cooperation between our country and foreign states." Thus, the preservation, strengthening, and popularization of Russian identity is an existential necessity that requires concrete steps aimed at enhancing the status of the Russian language as one of the richest languages in the world.

The project program includes a variety of events designed to achieve the set goals and effectively impact the target audience while uniting educational innovations.
