Smolensk became a platform for a meeting on the involvement of cultural heritage objects in circulation

The regional center became a platform for holding a visiting meeting of the expert group on improving legal regulation “Involving cultural heritage objects in economic circulation” of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation.

The meeting was also attended by representatives of the State Duma, federal development institutions, business associations, the expert community and investors.

“Smolensk, first mentioned in the chronicles in 863, for centuries was the most important center on the trade route “from the Varangians to the Greeks.” Unique architectural monuments have survived to this day, including temples of the 12th century, the Smolensk fortress wall of the 16th century, as well as the Holy Assumption Cathedral - one of the main spiritual shrines of Russia. Today in Smolensk there are more than 460 cultural heritage sites, and in the region as a whole – over 4.3 thousand,” Anokhin wrote in his channel on the Max platform.
