At the Primorye branch of the National Centre RUSSIA, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin was presented with the exposition "Unique Russian Language", created at his instruction. The initiative came from Liliana Voronova, Head of the Department of Russian as a Foreign Language and Head of the Regional Russian Language Testing Centre.

"I am very grateful to you, Vladimir Vladimirovich, for supporting this initiative. My dream — and, I believe, the dream of many Russian language scholars — has come true. It is particularly gratifying that the first such venue opened in Vladivostok. What makes this especially valuable is how quickly the idea was implemented," said Liliana Voronova.

According to her, the new exposition gives children, residents and tourists of the region studying Russian the opportunity to test their knowledge in a game mode, discover forgotten or unexpected linguistic phenomena, and learn interesting facts and records of the Russian language.

"I always tell both Russian and international students that the Russian language is the means of national identity of the Russian people. It is not just a system of signs and rules, but a living legacy that reflects the history, culture, mentality and spirit of the people," stressed Liliana Voronova

The President was offered a task — to place the stress correctly in words. It proved challenging: the meaning depended on the choice of stress. First Vladimir Putin tried to complete it himself, and then invited students from the Warrior Centre ("Voin") to join in and test their knowledge.

The students engaged with the game on interactive panels: translating youth slang into literary Russian and solving old words. Together with the President, the girls from the Warrior Centre correctly placed the stress in the words "graffiti" and "catalogue".

On 5 June this year, a meeting of the Council for the Implementation of State Policy on Supporting the Russian Language and the Languages of the Peoples of Russia was held. Following its results, the President approved a list of instructions. Among them was the instruction to create cultural and educational interactive spaces at the National Centre RUSSIA (including its branches in certain regions of the Russian Federation) for the promotion and advancement of the Russian language.

The first branch of the National Centre RUSSIA was opened in Vladivostok, in the building of the former aquarium, with an area of 2,500 square metres. It includes exposition spaces reflecting the achievements and development projects of the Far East and Primorye. The interactive expositions of the branch allow visitors to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the region.

The first branch of the National Centre RUSSIA houses the following expositions: "The Path of the 155th Marine Brigade in the Special Military Operation", installation "Lighthouse", Facets of Primorye, Interactive Map of Primorye, Sea Journey, Bathyscaphe, Protected Areas of Primorye, Unique Fauna, Plant a Tree, "The Udege Trail", Mountain Resorts, Innovation and Technology.

The National Centre RUSSIA was created by order of President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin to showcase the achievements of our country, strengthen national identity, foster a sense of pride in the nation, develop professional skills among children and youth, and preserve the legacy of the International RUSSIA EXPO.

By the end of the year, several more branches of the National Centre RUSSIA will open in Sevastopol, the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area and the Krasnoyarsk region.
