The Day of Slavic Writing and Culture was celebrated at the Russian House in New Delhi.

The program began with an inspiring master class on Slavic calligraphy led by Russian artist Olga Levchenko. Participants touched the art of ancient writing, learned to draw Cyrillic letters with grace and precision, conveying the spirit of the times.

As part of the cultural program, Indian students of Russian language courses recited poems of great classics of Russian literature with inspiration and performed soulful Russian folk songs, filling the space with sincere feelings and warmth.

A special event was the opening of an exhibition dedicated to the famous journey of the Russian merchant Afanasy Nikitin - "Journey Beyond Three Seas", one of the first Europeans to visit India. This unique monument of Russian literature of the 15th century, included in the chronicle of 1489, became a symbol of the first historical ties between Russia and India.

A pleasant continuation of the program was the screening of the feature film "Pardesi" - the first ever joint Soviet-Indian film project, released in 1957. The film is based on the travel notes of traveler Afanasy Nikitin. The film aroused keen interest among viewers and became a reason for reflection on deep historical ties.

Another exhibition dedicated to Saints Cyril and Methodius, the creators of the Slavic alphabet, attracted special attention. The exposition told about their contribution to the development of culture and education, and also emphasized the value of the Slavic alphabet as a spiritual and historical foundation.

More than 300 young journalists and bloggers from 85 regions of Russia and 35 countries, including India, gathered together to talk about the future of media, share experiences and look for new points of contact between cultures.

The grand opening of the forum began on May 19 with a flower-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and then continued in the legendary Khudozhestvenny cinema with a presentation of the participants' works and the opening of the multimedia exhibition "We Won Together", dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory.

The author of the project was the President of the Media Congress of Journalists of Europe and Asia, Secretary of the Union of Journalists of Russia Mr Ashot Dzhazoyan.

The exhibits include works by Nishant Kumar Meena dedicated to the Leningrad blockade, subtly and deeply conveying the tragedy and courage through the prism of Indian perception.

The very next day, the forum participants met with the director and CEO of Mosfilm Mr Karen Shakhnazarov, learned about the history of the studio and its legendary collection of vintage cars. They also visited the Gorky Film Studio and walked along the routes of one of the main attractions of the capital - the Moscow Metro, from the oldest station to the newest.

Since May 22, the forum continued its work in St. Petersburg. The Hermitage Theater hosted the conference "Dialogue of the Young in a Changing World. Content of the Future", where the director of the Hermitage Mr Mikhail Piotrovsky and representatives of the leading media of Eurasia spoke.

The final event of the program was the multimedia exhibition and festival of short projects "I Live Here" in the General Staff Building of the State Hermitage Museum - a vivid confirmation of the fact that the language of art and culture knows no boundaries.
