Cultural programme

For more than ten years, the Primordial Russia Nature Festival has served as a unique platform that reveals the country’s natural wealth to the world. Through art photography, documentary filmmaking, and educational projects, the festival demonstrates the fragility of ecosystems and emphasizes the need to preserve them.

Primordial Russia and the Nevsky International Ecological Congress address different aspects of the same mission: the festival affects people through emotions and art, while the Congress develops strategic solutions that aim to ensure environmental safety, improve legislation, and harmonize the two. Together, they create a basis for sustainable development.

During the NIEC 2025, the exhibition will be displayed on the rails along the route to the Atrium Hall and in the corridors of the Duma Hall.

The exposition features 30 landscape photographs taken by famous St. Petersburg photographer Alexander Ladygin from 2018 to 2022. They reveal the charm of the city’s nature reserves and introduce people to their flora and fauna.
The exhibitions were prepared by the Nature Management Committee jointly with a subordinate enterprise of the Directorate of Specially Protected Natural Areas of St. Petersburg.

During the NIEC 2025, the exhibition will be displayed on easels in Tavrichesky Palace.

During the Nevsky International Ecological Congress, the Imperial Porcelain Factory jointly with the Nature Management, Environmental Protection, and Environmental Safety Committee and the Russian National Library will present a new collection of porcelain that was conceived and developed not simply to highlight this ceremonial table setting’s beauty and elegance, but also to educate people about aesthetic perception, how to take care of nature, and disseminate knowledge about culture and art.

Consultations were held with employees of the Committee prior to directly working with porcelain, which resulted in the creation of a list of flowering plants in the northwestern region of Russia.

During the NIEC 2025, the exhibition will be displayed near Hall 8.

The travelling photo exhibition Immersion in Nature, which is dedicated to the beauty of St. Petersburg’s protected areas, introduces viewers to the city’s natural heritage. The exhibition presents more than 70 professional landscape photographs of St. Petersburg’s protected natural areas.
The photo exhibition helps people learn about the picturesque nature within the city, offers new opportunities for ecotourism fans, and instils environmental values and a sense of pride in Russian nature.

During the NIEC 2025, the exhibition will be displayed along the fence on Ulitsa Shpalernaya at Tavrichesky Palace.

The centenary of the All-Russian Society for Nature Conservation is a time to recap the results of the Society’s activities and showcase the prospects for its further development. The 21st century marks a period in human history when environmental issues and activities that aim to protect nature are becoming imperative for mankind’s survival. Russia’s role in this regard is entirely unique. The unprecedented diversity of ecosystems and the extremely broad range of flora and fauna are the country’s national treasure. Russia’s forest and water resources are crucial to the survival of human civilization.
But this wealth requires attentive, careful, and systematic treatment. The exhibition aims to show that the Society’s activities are fully consistent with these basic criteria. Throughout its century-long history, the Society has not only preserved the traditions of nature conservation in Russia, but is also actively developing them today based on a modern scientific approach. The 100th Anniversary of the All-Russian Society for Nature Conservation exhibition examines the history of Russia’s oldest environmental movement based on archival materials, including documents, photographs, and newsreels from the country’s archives.

During the NIEC 2025, the exhibition will be displayed on electronic media in the business networking area.

This series of projects seeks to unite scientists, creative professionals, and businesses for the preservation of our natural and cultural heritage. The exhibition showcases the nature-inspired artwork of Daria Sanatina created from recycled materials.
The project is on a mission to show how art can protect ecosystems, rare species, and cultural traditions, and the composition clearly demonstrates the incredible power of creativity to educate people about the way human activity affects the planet.

Daria Sanatina is an artist, writer, laureate of Russian and international competitions, creator of a network of art studios, the Look Inside brand, the new art style of sculptural clothes painting, and clothing merchandise. Included in the list of top 100 contemporary Russian artists, Daria Sanatina is a member of the Eurasian Art Union and author of the book It’s Simple.

The exhibition "Rivers of the Great Victory" is dedicated to the crucial role of water bodies during the Great Patriotic War.
The display highlights the multifaceted significance of rivers, lakes, and other water sources as vital strategic assets of that era.
A special section of the exhibition features drawings submitted as part of the nationwide children's art competition “Colorful Drops – 2024”, under the category “Rivers of Victory.” The young artists not only shared their artwork, but also told stories that reflect the importance of rivers and lakes both for the front lines and for civilian life during the war.
The exhibition also includes stories and photographs from the archives of the special project by Rosvodresursy, “Rivers of the Great Victory.” The project has gathered accounts of heroes, battles, and other events connected to the water bodies of our country.
