International Lecture Hall

Thanks to the Prize, hundreds of thousands of Russians have been introduced to the latest achievements and discoveries in the fields of humanities, natural sciences, and STEM. However, it has always been evident to the Enlightener Prize that Russian culture extends beyond Russia’s borders and that the Russian language belongs not just to Russians, but to everyone who speaks Russian or has an interest in Russian culture. This is why, from its inception, the Prize has extended its activities beyond the borders of the Russian Federation. The Prize has organized lectures in Belarus, France, Slovakia, Montenegro, Israel, and Germany.

Our expertise can help combine efforts to bridge the cultural gap between the new wave of emigrants and the citizens of Western European states and to find common ground that can create new opportunities for dialogue between public opinion leaders on both sides.
In 2023, we engaged over 40,000 people, both offline and online, in France, Germany, Turkey, and Armenia.
