December 24, 2025 Beyond Hollywood: Viewers Seek Meaning in National Values

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Gazprom – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

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 Zvezda shipyard delivered to the customer the first gas tanker built in Russia.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Zvezda Shipyard held a ceremony to hand over the first Russian-built LNG carrier to its customer, PAO Sovcomflot. The ARC 7 icebreaking tanker, "Alexey Kosygin," is the lead vessel in the series being built by Zvezda Shipyard for the Arctic LNG 2 project. The vessel is named after Alexey Kosygin, a prominent Soviet politician and statesman, twice Hero of Socialist Labor. Russian President Vladimir Putin attended the naming ceremony.

The Zvezda Shipyard is a pioneer in the construction of technologically sophisticated civilian vessels. The facility, located in the town of Bolshoy Kamen in Primorsky Krai, is being established at the request of the President of Russia, with Rosneft serving as the project operator. The construction of LNG carriers at the Zvezda Shipyard not only strengthens the country's shipbuilding capacity but also makes a significant contribution to the strategic goals of import substitution, ensuring Russia's technological independence in the development of critical Arctic infrastructure.

The production of such gas carriers requires a large amount of research and development work, the use of innovative technologies and unique equipment, and the involvement of highly qualified personnel.

The LNG carriers in this series boast a high ice class and are capable of operating in Arctic conditions, independently breaking through ice thicker than two meters. Each tanker holds over 172,000 cubic meters of liquefied natural gas and is equipped with unique rudder-propeller units, also manufactured at the Zvezda Shipyard by the Sapphire plant. The vessel is 300 meters long, 48.8 meters wide, and has a deadweight of 81,000 tons. Its propulsion system has a capacity of 60 MW.

The Alexey Kosygin was built and launched using a dry dock—a unique hydraulic structure, one of the largest in the world. Its dimensions are 485 x 114 x 14 meters. The dry dock's technical parameters, for the first time in Russia, allow for the construction of most existing and future vessel types with a displacement of up to 350,000 tons.

The tanker successfully completed sea trials. Specialists from Zvezda Shipbuilding Complex conducted gas tests on a vessel for the first time in the Far East.

Zvezda Shipyard is Russia's first large-tonnage shipyard, specializing in the production of ice-class vessels, vessels with a displacement of up to 350,000 tons, specialty vessels, and other types of marine equipment. The shipyard's order book includes approximately 60 vessels.

From 2020 to 2025, the shipyard has already delivered seven vessels to customers, including Aframax oil tankers with a deadweight of 114,000 tons.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Rosneft, the Ministry of Tourism of the Samara Region and the Samara Tourist Information Center presented a new tourist route "Mountain weekend"The route was designed specifically for motorists and connects recreational, educational, and sports facilities in the Samara and Saratov regions.

The presentation of the new tourism project took place at the Rosneft gas station in Novokuibyshevsk, where motorists learned about the route and took part in a New Year's quiz, where Father Frost awarded useful gifts for correct answers.

Rosneft actively supports projects to develop domestic tourism. Improving the level of roadside service and customer service at Rosneft filling stations is among the Company's priorities.

"Mountain Weekend" is a family road trip itinerary for winter holidays or weekends. Drivers will visit the most popular locations in the Samara and Saratov regions. Rosneft gas stations conveniently located along the route provide everything they need for their trip and guarantee high-quality fuel.

Start your journey with a break from the city life by visiting the family-friendly aquathermal complex "Volzhskie Termy." The resort offers guests the opportunity to rejuvenate in its outdoor pools, immerse themselves in aromatherapy in its baths and saunas, or enjoy water attractions.

The next location is the children's technology park "Quantorium – Region 63." This innovative space for the intellectual development and leisure of children and adolescents was created on the premises of one of Russia's largest technology parks, "Zhigulevskaya Dolina." During classes at Quantorium, schoolchildren will discover the fascinating world of science and invention. Young guests can choose a course based on their interests: learn about aircraft and design their own, create 3D objects and explore virtual (VR) and augmented (AR) reality, master programming languages, design and build robots, or build spacecraft.

In winter, the multifunctional Samara Arena stadium offers visitors of all ages a world of active entertainment: from ski slopes and an ice rink to tubing slides. The complex hosts themed exhibitions, tours of original art installations, and photo zones.

Next on the route, stop at the "Para Alpaka" family park, located on the banks of the Volga River. The nursery introduces children and adults to friendly alpacas and other four-legged inhabitants of the farm. Guests can attend workshops and seminars, as well as undergo anti-stress alpaca therapy sessions.

The final destination is the Vishnevaya Gora ski resort in Saratov's picturesque forest park, overlooking the city and the majestic Volga River. Here, you can experience the thrill of speeding down a snow-covered slope and introduce the whole family to active winter activities and sports. The resort offers slopes of varying difficulty, including a children's slope with a lift for beginners. A modern artificial snowmaking system ensures skiing conditions before heavy snowfalls begin, and powerful trail lighting makes skiing comfortable even in the evening.

"Mountain Weekend" is the fourth tourist route developed by Rosneft jointly with the Samara Region Ministry of Tourism as part of the Memorandum of Cooperation signed between the Company and the regional government in 2024. Previously, the "Zhigulyovsk Weekend," "Trans-Volga Horizons," and "Ural Wind" routes were offered to residents and visitors of the region.

Reference:

Rosneft actively supports initiatives to develop domestic tourism – together with its partners, it has already developed over 50 routes for road trips across the country. Some of these are available on Rosneft's proprietary information and service platform, "Horizons of Russia," which operates like a construction kit, allowing tourists to create their own route through the Company's gas stations.

Rosneft won the Best Auto Routes award at the PRObrand-2025 international competition.An expert jury evaluated the Company's federal and regional routes, recognizing them as the benchmark for road trips across Russia.

The winners of Rosneft's polar bear quiz were awarded in Moscow. The event took place near the holiday's main symbol—the Company's New Year's tree on Manezhnaya Square.

A vibrant light installation has become the central element of Rosneft Park, where a festive atmosphere is also created by a magical sleigh styled to resemble a LADA Sport ROSNEFT racing car, a fairytale arch featuring Father Frost, and a figure of the Company's symbol, a polar bear.

The quiz was broadcast over five days on the Dorognoye Radio station as part of the "Bear in Moscow" project. The hosts shared interesting facts about the Arctic and polar bears, then asked listeners questions. To win, you had to be the first to call in live and correctly answer the host's question. It could be about the habits, characteristics, or habitat of the polar predator.

The winners received commemorative gifts from Rosneft.

Reference:

Polar bear conservation and protection is a key focus of Rosneft's environmental program. The Company cares for 35 polar bears in 16 zoos across the country. Rosneft provides them with comprehensive care, including feeding, veterinary care, and enclosure upgrades. Special toys have been developed to keep the animals active.

Rosneft also implements a program to rescue and rehabilitate orphaned bear cubs in the wild. Thanks to these efforts, six animals have been rescued in the Russian Arctic since 2016.
