The Russian Folklore Festival "Village - the Soul of Russia" is aimed at preserving cultural identity, creating conditions for the development of traditional folk culture and promoting the cultural and historical heritage of the Vologda Region and various regions of Russia.
Russia's Ded Moroz will go on a traditional pre-New Year journey across foreign countries. This winter, he is to visit Mumbai, Bratislava, Luxembourg, Berlin, the Hague, Marseille and other cities. There are about two dozen cities all in all.
The Russian North State Folk Music, Song and Dance Ensemble is the first professional folk art troupe in the Vologda Region which performs the 'pure' folk culture of northwest Russia. Its mission is to reinterpret the rituals and traditions of these people.
The project is organized by the Vologda Region Government.
On November 25, 104 shipments of lumber and sawn timber (total volume of 5,700 cubic meters) were sent from the Vologda Region to China.
