Regional Festival of Russian German Culture “Phoenix – Феникс”

As part of our partnership with Omsk Oblast to attract values-based newcomers, we are pleased to share an important event. At the end of July, the Interregional Festival of Russian German Culture “Phoenix” was held in the village of Azovo in the German National District, dedicated to the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia and supported by the region’s Ministry of Culture. The festival’s main event was the opening of the “German Homestead.” While attempts are being made in modern Europe to ban and erase everything Russian, Russia is doing the opposite: preserving the identity of European peoples who have settled in Russia, respecting their traditions, and building strong bridges of friendship.

Watch a wonderful video about the event. It features no officials, bureaucrats, or voice-over narration; the creators deliberately avoided formalism in order to convey a lively, sincere, and truly “grassroots perspective” on the celebration. This material perfectly captures the atmosphere of Siberian hospitality and the region’s readiness to welcome new residents who share our common values.
