March 25th marks Culture Workers' Day in Russia—a professional holiday dedicated to cultural and artistic figures. Rosneft actively participates in important events in Russia's cultural life. The company supports projects, each of which becomes a significant event and defines the country's cultural identity.
Rosneft has collaborated with the State Hermitage Museum for many years. With the Company's support, the first two halls of the new permanent exhibition, "Art of the Art Nouveau Era," opened in the General Staff Building in 2025. They are dedicated to artists from the second half of the 1880s to the late 1890s. The exhibition centers on the most striking pieces in the Hermitage collection—objects created by masters of leading European and Russian schools at the turn of the 20th century: from ceramics and jewelry to furniture and tapestries. In a few years, the new exhibition will occupy five halls. In 2024, with the Company's support, the Hermitage opened a renewed exhibition, "The Culture and Art of China," covering periods from antiquity to the 17th century. Previously, the exhibitions "The Raphael Line," dedicated to the phenomenon of Raphael Santi, "Piero della Francesco: Monarch of Painting," and "Egyptomania" were also held to great acclaim. In addition, with the support of Rosneft, the museum also houses a permanent exhibition, “Ancient Colonization of the Northern Black Sea Region.”
Rosneft also supports the Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center: in 2025, the exhibition "Joseph Brodsky. A Place as Good as Any" and the exhibition "Lyuba, Lyubochka. Lyubov Sergeevna Popova. 1889-1924" were organized.
Rosneft not only supports exhibition projects in Russia, but also successfully develops cultural ties with other countries, presenting contemporary Russian art abroad.
Thus, in December 2025 – January 2026, with the support of Rosneft, an exhibition by People's Artist of Russia Nikas Safronov entitled "Dream Vision" was held in India. The project was presented at two of India's largest cultural centers – the Lalit Kala Akademi in New Delhi and the National Gallery of Modern Art in Mumbai. The exhibition was recognized as the most visited and resonant one in India in the past 60 years. A total of 100 of Nikas Safronov's best works were brought to India, including a series of paintings created specifically for the Indian public. The exhibitions were distinguished by their high technology and were built on the synergy of classical painting and modern multimedia solutions: light, sound, video installations, LED screens, animatronics, and other cutting-edge digital technologies. The project received high praise from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of India.
Last year, the Company also supported the Festival of India, held at Manezhnaya Square in Moscow. Visitors were treated to an engaging entertainment and educational program. Guests were able to experience Indian folk dance, participate in yoga, henna, and Hindi painting workshops, and visit an exhibition of Indian art. Previously, the Company supported Tatyana Navka's show "The Love Story of Scheherazade" in Ahmedabad, India, and the Mariinsky Theatre, directed by Valery Gergiev, performed "One Thousand and One Nights" in Qatar.
Rosneft has been supporting the Sretensky Monastery Choir for over 10 years. During this time, the choir has successfully toured numerous cities across Russia. Past productions include "Everyday Saints," "The Romanovs," "Russia: Time, Forward!", "Masterpieces of World Culture," "Life," "Songs of Our Parents," and "Dedicated to the Great Victory." The Sretensky Monastery Choir is one of the most renowned musical ensembles in Russia, and last year celebrated its 30th anniversary. The choir possesses a unique performance style that allows for a fresh experience of both sacred music and well-known folk and popular songs.
With the Company's support, a concert dedicated to Alexandra Pakhmutova's 95th birthday was held in Volgograd. From 2023 to 2025, Tatyana Navka's ice shows "Evenings on a Farm," "The Nutcracker," and "Cinderella" were performed in Moscow to great acclaim.
Rosneft participated in the restoration of the Konevsky Nativity of the Virgin Mary Monastery, founded by Saint Arseny Konevsky in 1393 on Konevets Island in Lake Ladoga. The monastery is a significant pilgrimage site in the Northwestern Federal District. The monastery was restored with the utmost attention to historical detail, employing highly qualified specialists, artists, and restorers.
