👍Delegations of the IFY–2026 keep discovering more of Russia — from the federal territory of Sirius to Abkhazia and South Ossetia! These past few days, participants managed to do it all: a lace museum in Vologda, the "Nikola-Lenivets" art park in Kaluga region, project defenses in Krasnoyarsk, horseback traditions in Karachay-Cherkessia, stroganina dinners with families in Ugra, the GAZ Museum in Nizhny Novgorod, an ice arena in Omsk, theater in Kazan, and Indian dances with grandmothers in Komi. 🇷🇺 Russia and its partner countries win you over at first sight — and their greatest treasure is their people and their hospitality. Want to see how it all looked? Check out our reel!
