"In the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia, the 12th St. Petersburg International Forum of United Cultures will allow us to present high-level plans for programs aimed at preserving cultural diversity and traditions, exchange experiences with representatives of friendly countries on ways to preserve the uniqueness of cultures, traditions, and worldviews, as well as measures to counter the threat of extinction of minority cultures and promote the principles of justice and equality in relations between peoples. Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly emphasized in his speeches that national culture can develop and be enriched only through interaction with other cultures. Our country was initially shaped as a multinational nation, and it is this invaluable gift that has defined its unique cultural palette and its status as a truly great power in its art, science, and literature." Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President of the Russian Federation
