The National Centre RUSSIA presents a special video of the podcast "Russia Speaks" dedicated to the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity, and the upcoming 2nd All-Russian Wedding festival "Russia. Uniting Hearts". The festival will be held at the National Centre RUSSIA on July 8-10.

For centuries, love has been embodied in painting, literature, cinema, and music. The new video of the podcast reveals how art serves as a guide to the world of emotions, helping us to better understand ourselves and our loved ones.

Together with presenter Angelika Kiryan, they analyzed how films, paintings and literary works shape our ideals of love, teach us to recognize true feelings, and build strong family relationships.

The author's podcast "Russia Speaks" by the National Centre RUSSIA practices the tradition of an open dialogue discussing the most important issues of our time.
