The opening ceremony of the II Congress of the Russian Movement of Children and Youth "Movement of the First" was held in the Lecture Hall of the Russian Society "Knowledge" in Pavilion No. 57 at the RUSSIA EXPO. Over the past year, primary organizations of the movement were created in each region, which nominated 1100 delegates to the Congress, said Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova. The total number of people in the movement today is 4.7 million.

"But we need even more of us - and it is very important that each of you is the person who will reach the heart of their friend, win them over and involve them in the Movement. And this is the most important thing for you - you must do it," Tatyana Golikova addressed the participants of the ceremony.

Promotion of traditional spiritual values is key objective for the Movement of the First, said Deputy Prime Minister. At the same time, its participants worked actively last year, including in children's camps.

"2.5 million people were able to participate in the communications organized by Movement of the First. I am very pleased that just recently, under the leadership of our President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, the Year of the Family was launched here at the RUSSIA EXPO - and at the origins of this launch was the Movement of the First in the form of the Dear - Loved Ones community, which is also growing. Already 200 thousand Russian families have joined this movement - and it is very important for us that you bring this to the regions, to the place where you live, to the municipalities. Because the family is the core value not only of our country, but also of our movement," said Tatyana Golikova.

A rich program awaits the participants of the Congress, said Deputy Prime Minister. In particular, the children's directorate of the World Youth Festival - 2024, which will be held from February 29 to March 7 in Sochi, will be created. The work of the Congress will be accompanied by various partner companies - for example, VK, Russian Railways and Rosatom and others.

"I wish you success, to find friends and like-minded people here. We are counting on you very much - we are the first, and we should always be on the move," summarized Tatyana Golikova.

The opening ceremony, which took place in Pavilion No. 57, was attended by representatives of the Movement of the First from all federal districts of the country. They were treated to performances by young artists and were shown videos on the results of the movement's work in the past year.
