Moscow, December 17 (Xinhua) — The 38th Russian Folk Arts and Crafts Exhibition and Fair "LADYA. Winter's Tale – 2025" opened in the Russian capital on Wednesday.
During the event, more than 1,500 participants from 70 regions of the country will showcase their best works: from traditional ceramics and wood painting to exquisite jewelry and lace.
At the opening ceremony, Maria Zakharova, Director of the Information and Press Department of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, noted that this event is not only a stunning exhibition but also a fair and a cultural phenomenon. "We are so deeply rooted in our culture, so rich in our crafts and trades, this constitutes a colossal, amazing, and very nurturing foundation for our progress," the Russian diplomat emphasized.
Veronika Nikishina, General Director of the Russian Export Center, stated that Russian folk crafts are in demand not only in the domestic market but also abroad. "This demand is driving the development of the creative industry. And I would like to point out that the economic component of the folk crafts industry has been developing well in our country recently. Speaking of export opportunities, we are proud that these products, when exported to foreign markets, shape and convey the Russian cultural code," Nikishina stated.
"LADYA" is a unique platform created in 2002 to support and develop folk arts and crafts, preserve a unified cultural space, and revive the traditional spiritual values of the peoples of Russia. The project presents a panorama of the entire spectrum of traditional art in the country.
The 38th Exhibition and Fair of Folk Arts and Crafts of Russia "LADYA. Winter's Tale – 2025" will be held from December 17 to 21 at the Timiryazev Center Exhibition Complex. –0–
