On the day of Russia the Russian community of Nagorno-Karabakh gave
presents – a basket of food – to the members of the community who
are retired. The head of the Russian community of NKR Galina Somova
told the reporter of Regnum that the presents were prepared on the
money which the government provided to the community and on sponsor
money. Pensioners from both the regions and the capital got presents.
The Russian community of NKR has 300 members in all the regions of
the country, not only Russians but also representatives of other
Slavic people.
The goal of the organization is to preserve ethnic traditions and
identity of the Russians who live in NKR, sustain the Russian schools
and spread the Russian language. The Day of Russia is traditionally
celebrated in Karabakh.
