The coordinator of events within the framework of the International Week is the apparatus of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, and the operator is the Roscongress Foundation. On September 28, the thematic website of the event was launched.
The program of the International Week “Peoples of Russia” is designed to demonstrate Russia’s openness to the whole world and identify projects aimed at building a unifying interethnic dialogue, respect for cultural diversity and joining efforts to ensure the well-being and security of people regardless of their nationality. Holding such a large-scale event acquires additional relevance in the Year of the Unity of the Peoples of Russia, said Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu (his comment was distributed by the press service of the Security Council apparatus).
The basis of the business program of the week “Peoples of Russia” will be four blocks: “Unity of peoples”, “Historical memory and continuity of generations”, “Service to the Fatherland and responsibility for its fate” and “Strong family”. The key topics of the panel sessions will be the implementation of state national policy, protection of historical memory, service to the Fatherland and cultural and humanitarian cooperation. Special attention will be paid to such topics as the preservation of culture and traditions of the peoples of Russia, as well as the unity of the multinational people manifested in all spheres of life.
According to the Advisor to the President of the Russian Federation Anton Kobyakov, the theme of the week reflects the strategic role of Russia “as a space of inter-civilizational dialogue, where the unity of peoples and reliance on traditional values become the foundation of multilateral cooperation.” “Within the framework of the week, this idea will be revealed through the business program, exhibition projects and youth tracks: such formats allow not only to declare values, but also to show their practical significance in joint investment initiatives, educational exchanges and cultural partnerships,” he said. Discussions on the preservation of value sovereignty and the formation of new models of trust between states in the context of global transformation will be of particular importance.
