Russian Cultural Garden is a proud member of the international family of the Cleveland Cultural Gardens.

Svetlana Stolyarova, Founder and Principal Broker of the Local-n-Global Realty along with Boris Vinogradsky, MD and Sergio Lebid, EVP, Co-Founder at NanoSpire, Inc. has taken the initiative of creating the Russian Cultural Gardens, a non-profit organization that will facilitate the project for the historical Russian Cultural Garden (RCG) located in the most beautiful part of the Rockefeller Park on the Mater Luther King Drive.

Russian culture is an inseparable part of the Cleveland cultural melting pot. The goal pursued in the park creation is to recognize the immense contribution to the cultural legacy of America and the world by Russian writers, scientists, musicians, artists and other cultural honoraries. In order to preserve the humanitarian and peaceful spirit of the Cleveland Cultural Gardens, the RCG Board decided to exclude any political, military and religious connotation from the park design and park related activity.

The idea of establishing a Russian Cultural garden has been brewing in the community for many years. Now, this cultural gap is finally being bridged! 

The Russian Cultural Garden was dedicated on September 8, 2018. 

Our Garden is located at

Russian Cultural Garden

730 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Cleveland, OH 44103

Estimated cost of the full project is about $1,000,000.00. It translates into just $25 to be donated by 40,000 people who like Russian language, Russian culture and Russian heritage.

Cost of Phase 1A was $72,000.00. 

Cost of manufacturing a granite pedestal and installation of the Gagarin's statue was $16,000.00. 

Cost of annual maintenance of the Garden is $6,000-8,000.
