In accordance with the Presidential Decree, branches of the National Centre RUSSIA are being established in the regions of the Russian Federation to showcase achievements, strengthen national identity, foster a sense of pride in the country, develop professional skills among children and youth, and preserve the legacy of the International RUSSIA EXPO.

"Our National Centre preserves the legacy of the RUSSIA EXPO. One of our important tasks is to pass on knowledge and experience to the regions so that they create points of attraction that will surprise and inspire people," said Natalia Virtuozova, Director General of the National Centre RUSSIA.

Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area — Yugra has become one of the first regions to have a branch of the National Centre RUSSIA. Governor Ruslan Kukharuk held a working meeting dedicated to this topic.

"As a result of the project defense, out of 15 regions, only five have been entrusted to become the first territories where a branch of the National Centre RUSSIA will appear. Our region faces a great responsibility to create a platform that will unite the key achievements of each municipality of Yugra," emphasized Ruslan Kukharuk.

The branch of the National Centre RUSSIA will be established in Khanty-Mansiysk, with its opening planned by the end of 2025. The event will be timed to coincide with the celebration of the 95th anniversary of the founding of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area. The site will become an exposition space and a place for cultural events, educational programs, master classes, and creative meetings.

The Yugra branch of the National Centre RUSSIA plans to host expositions dedicated to the implementation of national projects and the contribution of Yugra's residents to the country's development. By decision of the regional authorities, the content of the exposition will be formed based on the opinion of the district's residents. Work on collecting proposals will be organized in each municipality. The task set during the meeting by the Governor of the region is to reflect on the exposition pavilion site the main achievements of each of the 22 municipalities in the region, paying attention to the natural wealth and achievements of Yugra's residents.

It is noteworthy that since February, the regional Government's team, together with the heads of municipalities and public figures, will conduct strategic sessions in each municipality, during which proposals for filling the spaces of the created exposition pavilion will be formed, and stands dedicated to the district's cities will be developed.

The exposition space will allow residents and guests of the region to become more familiar with the achievements and potential of the autonomous district. Together with partners of the Yugra Government — the year-round youth educational centre Dobrino and the Russian society Znanie — more than 45 events are planned to be held annually at the exposition site, attracting over 20,000 participants.
