Cultural projects are being implemented in the Ardatov district at the initiative of the activists of "United Russia."

      On August 10, 2026, 14:05 Society In the Ardatov municipal district, projects aimed at developing cultural leisure for the population are being implemented on the initiative of activists from the United Russia party: a festival for children is being held in Ardatov, and an outdoor stage has been opened in the village of Zhureleika. "The activists of the primary branches are the people who are at the forefront of party activities. They are the ones who most often interact with residents, know their problems, and help solve pressing issues. It is important to support these initiatives and assist in implementing ideas that are truly important for the local population. The primary branches are realizing small but very important projects that create comfortable living conditions for people in their yards, villages, and cities," noted Alexey Antonov, Deputy Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of the Nizhny Novgorod Region and head of the United Russia faction. An interactive program "VDK - a territory of one's own" has been organized for children at the Ardatov House of Culture. The festival brought together young residents of the settlement aged 7 to 14. On the initiative of the activists of the primary branch of the United Russia party, the organizers acquired life-sized puppets of a bear, a cat, and a hare. They accompany the children through the stations and conduct active games.

      The goal of the project is to introduce the younger generation to creative fields through play practices: decorative and applied arts, theater, vocals, choreography, and media creativity, as well as the cultural traditions of the district. At each station, the child tries their hand at different areas and, at the end of the quest, receives a "Passport of a Young Creator." "This project helps to unite the kids, teach them to work in a team, and at the same time show that creative activity is interesting. For this, we needed memorable characters with whom they would want to immerse themselves in this sphere. Now we have costumes for the animators, and the children are even more eager to participate in our quest. We are glad that the initiative was supported, and our project has become even more interesting," said Anastasia Baranova, an activist of the primary branch of the United Russia party No. 6 in the Ardatov municipal district and the project leader of "VDK - a territory of one's own." The interactive quest for children is held every week. The project will last until the end of summer, and every Ardatov resident can get acquainted with various forms of art. In the village of Zhureleika, the opening of a multifunctional summer venue took place. Local residents have long dreamed of a center for gatherings and the holding of cultural and patriotic events.

      "The residents of our village are very friendly, always happy to meet, discuss news, sing favorite songs - just relax together after a hard day's work. But before, we didn't have a place where we could comfortably spend time. Now there is a stage that has already become a favorite spot. We celebrate all holidays and evenings here - together, in the fresh air. It's great that a space has appeared that unites us!" said Marina Markina, secretary of the primary branch of the United Russia party No. 14 in the Ardatov municipal district. With their own efforts, the residents of Zhureleika set up the stage and benches, and thanks to the "Primary Good Deeds" project, they built a canopy and lighting so that the venue could operate in any weather and at any time of day. "The initiatives of the primary branches are aimed at various spheres of life: conducting cultural and educational events in small settlements, supporting participants of the SVO and their families, and, of course, improving territories. It is joyful that in small villages and hamlets, not just venues are appearing, but real centers of attraction that unite people. It is important to continue this systematic work on interaction with the primary branches so that each settlement becomes what its residents want it to be," said Dmitry Grachev, a participant in the SVO and Deputy Minister of Internal Regional and Municipal Policy of the Nizhny Novgorod Region. Let us remind you that supporting the municipal community, public initiatives, and the implementation of various programs and projects with the participation of residents are among the key points of the People's Program.
