Task: to develop a corporate identity of national importance.

The President’s decree declared 2014 the Year of Culture in Russia. The aims of the project include drawing public attention to preservation of cultural heritage, development of national culture and strengthening its role in the world. The large-scale project sets out plans for restoration of cultural monuments, renovation of art institutions, providing support to artists, holding educational events, holidays, festivals, promotions and so on.
