From September 5 to 8, the XVI festival “Youth for the Union State” was held in Smolensk, Russia. The festival has been held on the initiative of deputies of the Union Parliament since 2006 in order to create a single cultural space, strengthen friendship and mutual understanding between the younger generation of the two countries, exchange ideas and establish cooperation between youth associations, and identify new talents. In addition to the music competition, the program of the Youth for the Union State festival included concerts, patriotic events, musical evenings and humor evenings, as well as four new discussion platforms on patriotic topics.
