< strong>"Beauty will save the world. These words are familiar to every Russian, because a century and a half ago they were inscribed in the history of world literature by Fyodor Dostoevsky. I am sure that any sane person on Earth can subscribe to these words. In these not very simple times, this simple phrase has acquired a special meaning and content. I am sure that it is the beauty of art, in this case dance, that will turn out to be a universal language that will unite peoples who strive for peace. I am very glad that this most powerful instrument of interethnic communication is in the hands of an important association — BRICS,» said Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Konstantin Kosachev.
The project was resumed with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture of Russia.

«At a time when entire states, as one of the foundations of their policy in the field of culture, proclaimed the» abolition of all Russian » — an absurd and unrealizable goal, the creative work of such pearls of our country as "Kostroma" proves the greatness and subtle beauty of our traditions, which today are experiencing a true renaissance. This is largely due to the selfless work of true creators, whose activities are based on the traditional spiritual and moral values of Russia,” said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in his greeting.
