Historical Background:
The Russian Center for International Scientific and Cultural Cooperation, or Roszarubezhcenter for short, operates under Russia's MFA. In August of this year,(2003) the government approved the Roszarubezhcenter Regulations that clearly set out its objectives and tasks: involvement in developing and implementing international cooperation programs in the humanitarian, scientific-technical, educational, cultural, information, and business fields. One of the Center's priorities is undoubtedly interaction with countrymen's organizations and associations, assistance in campaigns they organize, support of the Russian language as well as cooperation with institutions that are in this way or another associated with Russian culture.
The Roszarubezhcenter system incorporates Russian Science and Culture Centers operating in 38 countries across the world. The global aim of these centers consists in familiarizing the public of the countries concerned with the history and culture of peoples inhabiting the Russian Federation, its foreign and domestic policy as well as with Russian scientific and cultural potential. In a word, all this involves a wide range of objectives, and the Roszarubezhcenter members are practically in no way restricted within the areas of their activity.
