The cultural reference points of Hollywood films are no longer perceived as an absolute standard. Audiences expect stories that resonate with their national mentality, traditions, and notions of family, morality, and social responsibility.

The demand for cultural multipolarity is already a global trend. This is providing impetus for the development of international cooperation. The most promising countries are China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. Several factors play a role here: audience size and growth, government support for creative industries, shared values, and the demand for alternative content to Western culture. The CIS countries are also under focus.

"We understand that entering the global market isn't always straightforward. Often, the most promising growth opportunities arise at the intersection of industries, where film, music, digital technologies, event formats, and new ways of reaching young people intersect. We recognize this potential and translate it into concrete partnership projects."

Boris Khanchalyan, Deputy General Director of Gazprom-Media Holding

This involves the potential export of not just content, but turnkey solutions: successful media formats, expertise in building and monetizing services.

The media industry is a soft power tool that fosters a positive perception of the country and boosts tourism. Daria Bogdanova, Head of International Affairs at Gazprom-Media Holding, emphasized the importance of exporting Russian content in strengthening cultural bridges between Russia and other countries during the "Media Image of Russia" panel session at the Catherine the Great Forum. Igor Pavlov, Director of Government Relations at RUTUBE, moderated the discussion.

According to Daria Bogdanova, the Holding is consistently expanding its international presence, implementing co-production projects and exporting domestic content to foreign countries.

"A crucial part of our strategy is our cross-cultural format, which emphasizes entertainment reality shows, which we film in various countries around the world. These projects allow viewers to become acquainted with the cultures and traditions of other nations, contributing to the development of the creative economy and tourism industry. We've already filmed in China, the United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, and Turkey, and we plan to expand our geographic reach in the future."

Daria Bogdanova, Head of International Affairs, Gazprom-Media Holding

In addition to entertainment projects, next year the Holding will continue its collaboration with filmmakers from the CIS, China, and other countries. Immediate plans include the launch of the large-scale series "Iskra" (Spark), the first international project involving countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States. The series will consist of at least eight episodes, telling the stories of representatives of the Commonwealth countries who fought together on the battlefield in the Great Patriotic War. Film studios, producers, actors, and directors from CIS countries will be involved in the production. Next year, active work is also expected on the Russian-Chinese project "Allies." The film, which the Holding will be developing jointly with Xicheng Media, will explore a little-known chapter of shared history—the participation of Soviet pilots in the Sino-Japanese War.

A separate element of the Holding's strategy is the development of a comprehensive international blogging network. The Insight People production center, part of Gazprom-Media Holding, actively collaborates with local influencers in India, Africa, and several other regions. This approach is seen not only as a way to popularize content but also as an effective communication mechanism with young international audiences.

The 2025 Catherine Forum focused on pressing issues of shaping Russia's image as a new center of civilization and preserving traditional values, reducing integration barriers facing those wishing to move to Russia from abroad, and attracting highly qualified foreign specialists to various areas of our country's socioeconomic and cultural development.

Gazprom-Media Holding volunteers helped create a New Year's atmosphere in Moscow hospices, as well as the Special Childhood Center for Curative Pedagogy, by organizing and holding a winter charity fair.

Staff from NTV, GPM Reklama, Match TV, GPM KIT, and RUTUBE decorated their windows with New Year's scenes. Hospitals were filled with snow-covered forests, gnomes, fairytale castles, cheerful snowmen and Christmas trees, toys, and snowflakes, helping to create a festive and welcoming atmosphere for patients.

For the fourth year in a row, the Holding's volunteers have been helping Moscow hospices through the PRO_Participation program, which aims to provide support and attention to those who need it most.

Also, in anticipation of the New Year, Gazprom Media Holding volunteers created creative photo zones and decorated workshop spaces at the charity winter fair, traditionally held by the Special Childhood Therapeutic Pedagogics Center. Its goal is to give special artisans the opportunity to showcase their work and feel valued and connected to society.

"The fair is always a gathering of like-minded people. Guests are immersed in a joyful and festive atmosphere, feeling part of a larger community. And whether you attend every year or have missed it a few times, you immediately feel like you've come to visit old friends."

Nikolay Morzhin, Director of the Center for Curative Pedagogics "Special Childhood"

Collaboration with the Center for Social and Cultural Development is developing within the framework of the Holding's "PRO_Support" program—the company's systematic work aimed at developing corporate volunteering, social integration, and assistance to the most vulnerable segments of the population.
