The National Centre RUSSIA in the Primorye Territory opened in Vladivostok on 7 September 2025 and became the first regional branch of the National Centre RUSSIA. On 4 September, the Centre was visited by the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin.
The venue is designed in a maritime style and reflects the character of the Far East — its energy, openness, and the power of nature. The Centre’s zones are dedicated to careers in Primorye, science and education, culture, tourism, a comfortable urban environment and innovation.
The main symbol of the National Centre RUSSIA in the Primorye Territory is the Ussuri tiger, embodying the strength and natural power of the region.
On the first floor, visitors can explore interactive city maps, the "Lighthouse" installation, as well as a space dedicated to the participation of the 155th Marine Brigade of the Pacific Fleet in the special military operation. This floor also features the interactive exposition "The Great and Mighty Russian Language" and the multimedia hall "Atom. The Future", representing Rosatom and FESCO companies. The exposition shows that nuclear energy and logistics are not only technologies and data, but also a reliable foundation for the sustainable development of the Far East and the entire country.
In the next hall, visitors embark on an interactive journey across the Primorye Territory. They learn about the culture of the indigenous small-numbered peoples, dive in a bathyscaphe into the depths of the Sea of Japan, observe its underwater inhabitants, try themselves as a motorboat captain and take a virtual tour through the region’s nature reserves and national parks.
