2016 officially announced cross year of Greece and Russia. The order on this was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Greek-Russian year was originally supposed to take place in 2014, but at the request of the Greek side, due to the economic crisis and the Greek presidency of the EU in the first half of 2014, it was postponed to 2016.
The cross-year program includes joint events in the fields of education, language, science, cultural heritage, art, sports and youth exchanges.
2016 announced cross year of language and literature of Russia and Great Britain. It opens on February 25 in London with a screening of the film "Anna Karenina" starring Greta Garbo. Its main topic will be the work of William Shakespeare. Information about the program is here.
2016 in the CIS countries:
