By decision of President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, the National Centre RUSSIA was opened in Moscow on 4 November 2024.
Since its foundation, the Centre has become a place of attraction, pride and inspiration for millions of Russians. It is here that the future of our country is predicted, visualised and created — based on the achievements, talents and ideas of people from all regions of Russia.
Today, the Centre hosts interactive expositions showcasing the country’s major achievements in science, culture, technology, the environment, and education. It is also the venue for landmark scientific, social and cultural events that unite generations, professional communities and regions. The very best of what Russia lives by and takes pride in can be seen with one’s own eyes — at expositions and forums, in concert halls, and at lectures and seminars featuring leading contemporary experts and thinkers.
But most importantly, it is at the National Centre RUSSIA that tomorrow begins today. Here, the vision of the nation’s future is taking shape — open, strong and creative.
And to see this future, you don’t even need to travel to Moscow: branches of the National Centre RUSSIA are already opening across the regions, turning the entire country into a single space of knowledge, ideas, and inspiration.
