The National Centre RUSSIA and its branches will become spaces for the development and preservation of the Russian language. During a meeting of the Council on Language Policy, President Vladimir Putin supported the idea of creating multifunctional Russian language spaces based at the National Centre RUSSIA and its branches in other regions.

The experience gained by the National Centre RUSSIA in conducting large-scale events, interactive and cutting-edge expositions will make studying our language interesting and engaging. In each region, such platforms will be different, reflecting the full breadth of the Russian word. They will become points of attraction for children, young people and foreign tourists wishing to connect with the power of the Russian language, its depth and great creative force. The National Centre RUSSIA has already joined in supporting the Russian language — on its premises, the Council for Forming a New Style of the Russian Federation is creating a new Russian language primer that will be used to teach future generations.

Presidential Aide Yelena Yampolskaya presented a project of a new reading primer and spoke about the need to create special platforms for studying the Russian language, including at the National Centre RUSSIA. The first of these will open this autumn in Vladivostok.

The name "Russian Word on the Pacific Ocean" for the Far Eastern platform was proposed by Liliana Voronova, Head of the Russian as a Foreign Language Department at the Far Eastern Federal University. According to her, such spaces will help not only Russian schoolchildren, but also foreign tourists and students, for whom familiarity with the language is a pathway to Russian education.

"Foreigners, having visited Russia, want to return to their homeland with some stock of learnt Russian words. Such familiarity with the Russian language becomes an incentive for them to pursue education in Russia. I am confident that a space dedicated to the Russian language will be very much in demand among foreign and Russian young people. We are talking about spaces with interactive capabilities where events can be held and activities covered in the most diverse formats. These could be lectures, expositions, workshops. The main thing is that all events should be interesting for children and young people. Just like the Russian language itself, which is also very interesting and diverse," said Liliana Voronova.

The platforms are planned to be interactive: lectures, expositions, workshops and meetings that inspire children and young people will take place here. The design could incorporate distinctive features of the Russian language: verbs of motion, set expressions, phrases from classics and cinema.

The meeting also saw the announcement of two key initiatives: the launch of the "Children's Book Card" programme from 2026 and the establishment of the Day of Languages of the Peoples of Russia, which is proposed to be celebrated on September 8, the birthday of Rasul Gamzatov.

The National Centre RUSSIA is joining the implementation of state language policy as a key platform, forming a cultural space where words become a means of dialogue, understanding and unity.
