On 19 March, the National Centre RUSSIA hosted presentations of project proposals for its regional branches across the Russian Federation. The event was attended by the First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office of Russia and Chairman of the Organising Committee of the National Centre RUSSIA, Sergei Kiriyenko; Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office of Russia and Deputy Chairman of the Organising Committee, Maxim Oreshkin; Director General of the National Centre RUSSIA, Natalia Virtuozova; as well as governors and regional heads.
Eight regions of the Russian Federation presented their projects: the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the Nizhny Novgorod region, the Yaroslavl region, the Kaliningrad region, the Kirov region, the Khabarovsk region, the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, and the Republic of Karelia. All eight branch concepts have been approved, each with its own stages and timelines for implementation.
The National Centre RUSSIA was established by order of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, to showcase the country’s achievements and foster a sense of pride in the nation.
The branches of the National Centre RUSSIA are designed as comprehensive, well-developed spaces that make full use of the surrounding area. They are intended to become places where residents and visitors can spend their time. Each regional head presented a project distinguished by its uniqueness and strong connection to regional identity.
In 2025, branches of the National Centre RUSSIA opened in the Primorye region, the Krasnoyarsk region, and the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area — Yugra. In 2026, new spaces will open in the Ryazan region and the hero city of Sevastopol.
The team of the National Centre RUSSIA, headed by Director General Natalia Virtuozova, visited the Khabarovsk Territory on a working trip.
From 17 to 21 May, the National Centre RUSSIA will present its flagship project, Department Store RUSSIA, at the 10th Russia-China EXPO in Harbin for the first time.
Preserving the writer’s creative legacy is also an important part of the mission of the National Centre RUSSIA.
