The Russian–Korean Friendship Festival was held in Nizhny Novgorod.

      The celebration took place with the support of the Nizhny Novgorod regional branch of the United Russia party

      At the House of National Unity venue, an interethnic festival of Russian and Korean national cultures was held. The bright and colorful celebration opened with the ceremonial signing of a Cooperation Agreement between the Nizhny Novgorod regional branch of United Russia and the Local Korean National-Cultural Autonomy of Nizhny Novgorod.

      “More than 110 different nationalities live in the territory of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast. Preserving and strengthening good-neighborly relations is the most important factor for the stable development of the region. The regional branch of the party already has cooperation agreements with national associations of the region. For many years we have closely cooperated with the Nizhny Novgorod regional branch of the Assembly of the Peoples of Russia, which includes representatives of Tatars, Belarusians, Mordvins, Azerbaijanis, and Jews. Today we signed a new document. The agreement with the Korean national-cultural autonomy will create conditions for even closer and more productive work to strengthen interethnic friendship. I am confident that future joint projects will make the public and cultural life of Nizhny Novgorod residents richer and more vibrant,” emphasized Alexey Antonov, Deputy Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast and head of the United Russia faction in the Legislative Assembly of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast.

      Strengthening interethnic friendship is one of the provisions of the People’s Program of United Russia. In implementing this direction, particular importance is given to supporting cultural initiatives that contribute to the development of the multinational culture of the region and the country.

      “The party provides comprehensive assistance to the national-cultural autonomies of the region. The development and preservation of the traditions of the various peoples living in the oblast play an important role in harmonizing interethnic relations. It is through culture that one can understand another person, see the world through their eyes. The agreement with the Korean national-cultural autonomy is aimed primarily at addressing these tasks. Our joint work will cover cultural, creative, and educational directions,” noted Dmitry Filipenko, head of the regional executive committee of the Nizhny Novgorod regional branch of United Russia.

      The parties agreed to cooperate along several tracks:

      • creating conditions for citizens that facilitate mutual study of national traditions;

      • creating creative unions and professional and amateur art ensembles;

      • holding mass events in the field of national culture.

      “The Korean national-cultural autonomy has existed in the territory of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast since the 1990s. We have always considered and still consider our main task to be introducing people of other nationalities to our culture. A Korean Center operates in Nizhny Novgorod. It is open to anyone who would like to study the language and traditions. Cooperation with the regional branch of United Russia will expand our opportunities. Even more Nizhny Novgorod residents will be able to learn many interesting things about Korea and Koreans,” said Vitaly Kim, chairman of the public organization “Local Korean National-Cultural Autonomy of Nizhny Novgorod.”

      At the end of the official part of the Festival of Russian-Korean Friendship, participants observed a minute of silence in memory of the soldiers of the Korean People's Army who died during the special military operation. The host noted that “true friendship knows no borders. It unites peoples, helps overcome difficulties, and build a future based on mutual understanding and support.”

      The cultural program took place in Pushkin Park. Organizers set up tents with master classes at the House of National Unity.

      “Our festival is open to everyone. We introduce guests to both Korean and Russian traditional culture. This, in our view, is a very interesting format. It allows you to compare two different traditions. Here you can try Korean food, which is unfamiliar to many. You can immerse yourself in the subtleties of calligraphic writing. And right here test your skills in traditional Nizhny Novgorod Khokhloma painting,” commented Maryana Sheludyakova, organizer of the “Festival of Russian-Korean Friendship.”

      Festival guests could sample the traditional rice bread “chartogi” and the Korean noodle soup “kuksi,” learn to make woven dolls, practice calligraphy and Khokhloma painting.

      “This is my first time trying Korean cuisine. It’s very unusual, of course. A bit spicy, but tasty. The main thing I liked here is the communication and the opportunity to learn more about the culture of another people,” shared Anastasia Morozova, a guest of the Festival of Russian-Korean Friendship.

      The festive program concluded with performances by the Korean folk ensemble “Choson” and the Russian folk ensemble “Lyubava.”

      More than 500 Nizhny Novgorod residents and city guests attended the Festival of Russian-Korean Friendship.
