Putin Proposes 2027 as 'Year of Geography' to Boost Exploration Awareness
Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed declaring 2027 the 'Year of Geography'. The announcement was made during the 17th Congress of the Russian Geographical Society at the Kremlin. The proposal aims to raise awareness and appreciation for geographical studies and exploration.
The 'Year of Geography' initiative seeks to encourage Russians to learn more about their country's diverse landscapes and natural wonders. It also aims to foster international cooperation in geographical research and conservation efforts.
Putin, who is the honorary president of the Russian Geographical Society, has long been a supporter of geographical studies. He has previously praised the society's work in promoting Russian geography and history.
The proposed 'Year of Geography' in 2027 is expected to include various educational and cultural events, as well as scientific expeditions. It is hoped that the initiative will inspire a new generation of Russians to explore and appreciate their country's geographical heritage.
