The Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavic Peoples: how National Centre RUSSIA preserves Slavic traditions
On June 25, Slavic peoples around the world celebrate the Day of Friendship and Unity, a holiday that reminds us of the centuries-old culture, spiritual values and common roots. Historically, Russia has played a key role in the development of the Slavic culture, she was a guardian of traditions, and a unifying force for fraternal peoples. The common cultural heritage, which is widely represented in the National Centre RUSSIA, brings a sense of pride in the Slavic civilization today.
The National Centre RUSSIA broadly displays the richness of the Slavic culture using an example of the Russian regions and peoples. This is a continuation of the path started by Saints Cyril and Methodius, who developed the first Slavic writing system back in the 9th century.
Today, about 350 million Slavs live in the world. Russia, Belarus, and other states remain spiritually close peoples. Countries and peoples are united not only by a common linguistic space, but also by similar cultural codes, family values, and attitudes towards the Motherland.
With help of its cultural and business projects, the National Centre RUSSIA encourages the younger generation to be interested in the Slavic culture and history, and provides space for a dialogue among peoples. Also, the National Centre RUSSIA develops a sense of belonging to the great cultural heritage. Through awareness of the roots and pride in the achievements of the ancestors, a dream of the future is born in the National Centre RUSSIA.
In the context of modern challenges, the Day of Friendship and Unity acquires special significance, reminding that the strength of the Slavs lies in unity, and the future lies in preserving the centuries-old values and traditions.
Russia, as the largest Slavic state, continues to play a key role in this process, providing a place for the cultural dialogue and joint creativity of all Slavic peoples.
