“Russia continues to unite independently-minded young people from different parts of the world. It cannot be ‘canceled.’ And today we welcome you to our homeland, in the Stavropol region. Some of our guests have been to Russia before, while others are here for the first time. I sincerely hope that ‘KARDO’ will help you truly discover our country. Through you, your families, friends, and all your compatriots will come to know Russia as it truly is,” commented the governor of Stavropol region, Vladimir Vladimirov.
