“Culture has always been, is and will be the basis of a dialogue and a connecting thread for various countries, people, ideologies,” says the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation Olga Lyubimova. “Culture relies on the values of humanism and the best traditions of the people of the whole world. It sets moral benchmarks that cannot be overstated. The uniting force of culture is capable not only to overcome differences but also create a common vision of the future based on common to all mankind ideals”.
