The place where meanings are born: the Propaganda band premiered a new song on the stage of the National Centre RUSSIA
The premiere of the song "Russia" — a patriotic composition presented by the Propaganda music band — took place on the main stage of the country as part of the III National Award "Smart City." The venue for this premiere was the National Centre RUSSIA — a space where culture and the future speak the same language.
The song became a musical declaration of love for the Motherland and a sincere message to the youth. "Russia" is not just a new sound, but a symbolic statement about loyalty to traditions, the strength of the people, and the unity of brotherly cultures.
"We performed at the National Centre RUSSIA for the first time, and it was unforgettable. There is scale, soul, and atmosphere here. This is a stage where you want to sing about what truly matters. We believe that culture is a powerful tool for upbringing. Through music, we try to speak to young people in the language of respect, memory, and pride. Our song conveys heartfelt patriotism, and we are glad that its premiere took place here," said group members Sofia Yeremchenko, Daria Sanakhova, and Angelina Gridchina.
The performance was part of the large-scale awards ceremony of the National Award "Smart City" — an event that brings together experts creating a comfortable, smart, and sustainable urban environment. In 2025, the award gathered around a thousand participants, including representatives of government, business, architects, and developers.
The award is organised by the Smart City Competence Centre with the support of leading federal agencies of the Russian Federation: the Ministry of Construction, Ministry of Digital Development, Ministry of Industry and Trade, Ministry of Energy, Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and the State Duma. It emphasises the importance of an interdepartmental approach to the development of Russian cities.
The National Centre RUSSIA once again became a space where culture and technology, emotion and solutions, the future and traditions come together. It is not only ideas that are born here — this is where meanings are born.
