"The project 'We Need Diaghilev' is a journey into the world of art, a project filled with the spirit of the great impresario, designed to combine the legacy of Russian classics and modern, innovative approaches of thinking. The aim of the festival is to scale the ideas of cultural diplomacy, to infect with passion for art, to find original points of connection between innovation and tradition," said Sergei Shitkov, Co-Chairman of the Festival's Organizing Committee, Vice-Rector for Legal, Administrative Affairs and Digitalization of MGIMO of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

The project combines cultural, exposition, artistic and educational events throughout the year at various Russian and foreign venues.

"We have a very rich grid of events. For this year alone, 47 events are planned, all of them of a very different nature: small and large, designed for a variety of audiences. And we plan to increase the number of events. We are not going to limit ourselves to this year," emphasized Sergei Shitkov.

Sergei Diaghilev (1872-1929) was a theater artistic figure and founder of one of the most influential and innovative theater groups of the XX century — "Russian Seasons". Under his leadership, "Russian Seasons" became known for its picturesque productions and innovative choreographic solutions.
