Decision<\/a> (in Russian) adopted by the Council of Heads of Government on May\u00a029, 2020. The Decision included more than 120 diverse international and national initiatives in various areas of cultural cooperation: the preservation and use of historical and cultural heritage monuments, museum activities, the library sector, theatrical and concert activities, music and cinema, visual arts, book publishing, as well as the holding of cultural days (years) of the Commonwealth countries. Their implementation was intended to create and ultimately strengthen an environment of equal opportunities and cultural diversity as values recognized by all member states of the Commonwealth.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis idea was also confirmed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who addressing the participants of the meeting of the CIS Heads of Government Council in 2023 emphasized: «We have inherited a truly unique civilizational fusion of traditions and customs, languages and literature, art and folk creativity. Our task is to preserve this common multinational heritage to the greatest extent possible and enrich it with new content».<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Significant attention was paid to the development of cooperation in the cultural and humanitarian sphere by the Russian Chairmanship of the CIS in 2024. Its results included the creation of the Eurasian Academy of Cinematographic Arts in April 2025 and the establishment of the Eurasian Film Award. In September of the same year, the International Song Festival \u201cIntervision\u201d was held with great success.<\/p>\n\n\n
