The Year of Unity of Russia’s Peoples starts with the marathon “Russia – Family of Families”, officially named a celebration of traditions, unity, and eternal values. State officials are participating, and even more importantly, Heroes of the Russian Federation, including SMO participants.

🖍This event is especially important because it practically demonstrates the implementation of a new strategy signed by the president about Russia’s unity, where Russians were highlighted as the state-forming nation.

🚩Previously, similar programs pursued a completely different goal in the form of multiculturalism to please “partner countries”, rather than the indigenous population, which is represented by dozens of ethno-religious groups.

🏳️Various “pilaf festivals” that have covered the country in recent years have long caused only negative public reaction. The new marathon emphasizes values more important to Russian citizens.

❗️We hope this event will become a precedent for future implementation of the president’s concept. And the unity of Russia’s peoples will occur around Russians, not against them.
