Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova and Minister of Culture Olga Lyubimova opened cultural facilities in the regions via videoconference. The event included the ceremonial openings of the "Book Galaxy" children's library in Omsk, the Gorky Central City Library in Makeyevka, the Children's Art School in Anapa, and creative industries schools in the workers' settlement of Koltsovo in the Novosibirsk Region and in Stroitel in the Belgorod Region.
"Cultural development is one of the state's key priorities, as it helps us pass on our traditional spiritual and moral values, our love for our country, our people, and our families, from generation to generation. It's important for us to ensure that all residents of the country, whether they live in a small village or a large city, have the opportunity to attend cultural events, engage in creative pursuits, develop their talents, and spend leisure time with their families," emphasized Tatyana Golikova.
She added that the national project "Culture" was completed last year, under which more than 3,000 cultural facilities were created, reconstructed, and overhauled, more than 7,000 organizations were equipped with modern equipment, and approximately 10,000 creative initiatives and projects across the country were supported.
"This year, the federal project 'Family Values and Cultural Infrastructure' was launched as part of the national 'Family' project. It continues the infrastructure projects already underway and highly sought after by our citizens—renovating community centers, theaters, children's art schools, and museums, creating model libraries and cinemas, and equipping cultural institutions with new equipment. There are also new areas of focus—construction of children's art schools, renovation and equipping of philharmonic halls, and the creation of children's cultural and educational centers. By 2030, we plan to modernize and equip over 10,000 cultural organizations and support over 1,000 creative projects and programs," said Tatyana Golikova.
Two model libraries have opened their doors – in the Donetsk People's Republic and the Omsk Region. As part of the recently completed national project "Culture," more than 1,200 model libraries have already been opened across the country, and nearly 1,300 more will open by 2030. Thanks to this project, libraries have ceased to be mere book repositories and have been transformed into new, modern spaces where people can not only read but also socialize, participate in events, and gain new knowledge.
In the Krasnodar region, a renovated children's art school has opened its doors after renovations, and in the workers' settlement of Koltsovo in the Novosibirsk region and in the town of Stroitel in the Belgorod region, new creative industries schools have opened.
Creative Industries Schools began to be established in 2022. These unique educational spaces with high-tech studios offer young talent the opportunity to acquire creative skills, such as composing music, developing design projects, filmmaking, and working with virtual and augmented reality. 118 such schools have already been established in the country, and they have become hubs for talented teenagers. At least 250 more will be created by 2030.
"This is a significant event for the entire sector, not only summing up the results of work in various areas but also laying the foundation for future achievements. Together, we are creating modern conditions for the spiritual and moral development of people and the support of traditional values," noted Minister of Culture Olga Lyubimova.
According to her, modernization is transforming art schools into true talent development centers. New creative industries schools are boosting citizens' creative potential and providing the younger generation with opportunities and conditions for professional development from a young age.
