Vladimir Putin’s remarks from his address to the St Petersburg United Cultures Forum We in Russia know for sure: a national culture can only develop and enrich itself through interaction with other cultures. From day one, our country has established itself as a multinational country. This priceless gift has determined its unique cultural palette and its status as a power which is great in its art, science, and literature. We should seek a balance between preserving national values and remaining open to the influences which contribute to the development and progress. Source: Kremlin. News
