On February 21, 2025, the Moscow House of Nationalities hosted a landmark meeting of the international discussion club “VISION 3000”, dedicated to the topic “Information support for the implementation of the state policy of the Russian Federation” with the support of the Moscow Government (Department of National Policy and Interregional Relations of the City of Moscow, GBU “Moscow House of Nationalities”) at the Moscow House of Nationalities.  The event brought together experts from the fields of media, diplomacy, science, culture and public administration to discuss how digital technologies and communications can preserve Russia’s cultural diversity and strengthen its position in the global information space.

The agenda of the meeting “Information support for the implementation of the state policy of the Russian Federation” was considered in the context of preserving the cultural diversity and traditions of the peoples of Russia.

Key discussion topics

Within the framework of the agenda blocks, the participants raised pressing issues:

• Digitalization vs cultural identity: How do technologies help preserve the languages, traditions and historical memory of the peoples of Russia?
• Fighting fakes: What tools are effective against disinformation and manipulation in the media space?
• International context: How to promote the Russian agenda in the face of information pressure?
• National Health: Why are healthy lifestyle promotion and education becoming part of the state strategy?

The meeting analyzed the role of information technologies, digital platforms and communication strategies in protecting, popularizing and broadcasting cultural heritage as a key element of government policy.

Highlights of the event

Opened the meeting Alfiya Amirova, President of the International Discussion Club “VISION 3000” and President of the International Women’s Union. She presented the organization’s projects, including the International Photo Contest “Mom and Children in National Costumes”, the video of which became an emotional start to the discussion.

Dear colleagues, members and guests of our club!

Today I want to touch on the key aspects that will help us preserve Russia’s cultural wealth in the digital age.

Digital integration of ethno-cultural values
“We must actively create online educational resources that provide access to the traditions, languages and history of all the peoples of our country. Digital platforms are not just technologies, they are a tool that will allow us to preserve our diversity even in the context of globalization. Imagine: a child from any corner of Russia will be able to study the epic of his people through interactive courses or virtual museums.”
Protection of cultural identity
“But digitalization also carries risks. Fakes, commercialization of heritage, blurring of borders — all this threatens our identity. This requires a clear legal framework and joint work by the state, the media and NGOs. We must protect the historical truth in the same way that we protect borders — systematically and collectively.”
Support for regions and youth
“Our task is to give the regions a voice. Information systems should become a bridge for local initiatives and interethnic dialogue. And in order to involve young people, let’s use what is close to them: gamification, TikTok projects about traditions, streams with ethnobloggers. Let the study of culture become not a duty, but a fashion trend.”
Civic identity through digitalization
“Information support of state policy is the foundation of the unity of society. When we convert heritage into numbers, we don’t just archive the past — we make it part of modernity. This is our armor against global challenges.”

In conclusion:
“By preserving culture in numbers, we preserve the soul of Russia. Our task is to make traditions not a memory of the past, but a living code of the future. Thank you for your attention!”

She noted that “Information support for citizens’ rights in the context of digitalization of society and modern challenges is not only a technological tool, but also a soft power that translates our values to the world.”
