A guide to the export and import of cultural goods between Russia ...

CHAPTER
Chapter 3: European Union Member States
Slovakia
The cultural relationship between Slovakia and Russia in the present time is conditioned
by long-time traditions of the relative closeness of both Slavic cultures and
of their mutual interest in each other’s spiritual values. Current Slovak – Russian
cultural cooperation aims to stimulate communication and an equal partner dialogue
of cultures and to provide measured support to the exchange of high quality cultural
projects.
The Slovak Institute in Moscow implements cultural activities in the fields covered by
bilateral agreements currently in force. These include exhibitions, music concerts, theatre
presentations, literary events and film shows. A number of activities are undertaken in the
regions outside Moscow. The Russian organisations with which the Institute collaborates
include the Institute of Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Gogol
Theatre of Moscow, the Museum House of Marina Tsvetaeva, the Tretyakov Gallery and
the Chamber Orchestra Kremlin.
