Events that
add up

Traditional values in action: Russia's first navigator through the events that bring people together.

02Who this is for

At the moment cultural projects live apart: each has its own listings, its own mailing list, its own reports. 809.ru is a shared shopfront and a shared reference book.

The platform works for five audiences at once. An organiser posts a project and gains reach. A region sees what neighbours are already doing. A newsroom gets a ready story and a speaker. A grant-maker sees where the money goes and what came of it. A reader simply finds somewhere to go on Saturday.

The categories come from clause 5 of Decree no. 809: a list of 17 traditional values. The same list serves as navigation through the catalogue.

For organisers

«For twelve years we collected letters from attics. It turned out that this is the main exhibit — not the medals but the handwriting».
InterviewExhibition curator · Volgograd

08The year's calendar · how the platform lives

A cultural year has its own logic — the newsroom works to it

September

The season starts

Venues reopen after the summer, the single voting day, the first forums. The peak of submissions from organisers.

Happening now
November

Anniversary of the Decree

9 November 2026 is the fourth anniversary of the Decree and the date of the platform's public launch: the year's results, a map of projects, the announcement of the award.

Nov–Dec

Grant applications

The submission period at the presidential culture fund. We publish explainers, deadlines and requirements — the most-read material of the season.

Winter

Indoors

Concerts, exhibitions, theatre, business events. The emphasis falls on announcements in the largest cities.

Spring

Easter and 9 May

Two big occasions in a row: special categories, live reporting, partner material.

June

Grant results

The fund's results and the start of the open-air festivals. The point at which we measure the effect of the pilot.

09The Public Council

Who answers for the selection and the platform's reputation

The Council works on a non-commercial basis: it approves the development strategy, provides expertise on particular questions, considers contested submissions and supports the project in the media. Its membership is being formed.
