Walk of Fame of the Russian culture has been started in the Russian Cultural Garden in 2018.
Over a hundred of Russian cultural heroes have been commemorated in the Walk of Fame, and more are coming!
You may become a sponsor of your favorite cultural hero, too. Donate $150 and let us know name of what famous writer, musician, artist, cinema or theater achiever, scientist or engineer you would love to adopt. Don't see a name on our Walk of Fame? Not a problem! Once sponsored, the name will be engraved on the brick and installed on the Walk of Fame. You will receive a Certificate and will be invited to the installation ceremony.
Big thanks to people and organizations who sponsored the bricks with engraved names of their hero!
