Since 2010, the Institute for Cultural Programs is running a new subdivision - Institute of Peter the Great.
The main task of the Institute is the study and promotion of the heritage of Peter the Great in the fields of culture, education, liberal arts, which were understood as a set of ideas and traditions, claiming the European choice of Russia, its commitment to principles of the European Enlightenment and the cultural community, while preserving the national identity of Russia.
The Institute of Peter the Great assists the cultural integration of St. Petersburg with other cities and towns founded or developed by Peter the Great while his travels.
Among the projects implemented by the Institute of Peter the Great are the Congress of Peter’s Cities, exhibitions and seminars; preparation and releases of scientific and popular publications.
