Mira Square, the embankment, and parks are not just points on the map, but places where urban traditions are born, generations meet, and culture lives. We are building new cultural spaces and repairing existing ones, modernizing libraries and replenishing their funds so that children and adults have opportunities for creativity," said Lyubov Sakharova, head of the Main Department of Culture.
