Founded byRusskiy Mir Foundation

The Ruski dom, the Russian Information and Cultural Centre, was established in 2011 in Maribor by the non-governmental foundation Russkiy Mir. The Centre was opened in order to strengthen the cultural ties between Russia and Slovenia and promote Russian language, history and culture.

Mission and projects

The Centre in Maribor is one out of 73 similar world-wide centres, which were opened by the Russkiy Mir Foundation. One of the motives for the opening was the successful candidacy of the city of Maribor for the European Capital of Culture 2012.

The Centre offers access to the literature in Russian, multimedia, textbooks, newspapers and Russian televison programmes. The Centre was opened with the exhibition The First in Space [Prvi v vesolju] dedicated to the 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's first flight into space. The exhibition was shown also in Ljubljana and Nova Gorica.
