Volunteers collected nine tonnes of waste from the banks of the great Russian river and tidied up popular recreational areas in the region.</p> <p>Activists from Samaraneftgaz, Kuibyshev Refinery, Novokuibyshevsk Refinery, Saratov Refinery, Syzran Refinery, Novokuibyshevsk Petrochemical Company, Novokuibyshevsk Oil and Additives Plant and the Company&rsquo;s Samara Design Institute cleared three hectares of various household waste from the Volga&rsquo;s riverbank areas. The waste was sorted and sent for recycling.</p> <p>Environmental volunteering is an integral part of Rosneft&rsquo;s corporate culture. Campaigns to improve public and natural areas are regularly held at the Company&rsquo;s enterprises; plastic bottle caps, waste paper, and batteries are collected. Rosneft also places great emphasis on initiatives aimed at improving wastewater treatment efficiency, developing a water recycling system and promoting the rational use and restoration of water resources. Thanks to the efficient use of natural resources and the implementation of environmental programmes, Rosneft&rsquo;s enterprises in the Samara region are making a significant contribution to conserving water resources in the Volga region.</p> <p>Samaraneftegaz is implementing a comprehensive programme to conserve natural resources. The enterprise has stopped using surface water completely to maintain reservoir pressure; only recycled water is now used in production.</p> <p>At the Novokuibyshevsk Refinery, the volume of wastewater has decreased by 40% over the last few years as a result of an environmental programme and water conservation measures. Over the course of a year, the plant increased its use of recycled water to 90% and reduced river water intake by 12%.</p> <p><img style="margin: 5px; float: right;" src="/upload/site2/attach/0/23/02/pic_20052026_6.jpg" />The Kuibyshev Refinery and the Novokuibyshevsk Petrochemical Company treat their wastewater biologically using plants, a technology known as phytopurification. Implementing this unique project at these enterprises serves as an example of adopting environmental solutions that are proven to be economically and ecologically efficient. The Syzran Refinery is modernising its biological and physico-chemical wastewater treatment facilities, as well as its recycled water supply systems. All of the enterprise&rsquo;s wastewater undergoes multi-stage treatment. By the end of 2025, the rate of recycled water use in production had reached 95.4%.</p> <p>At the Novokuibyshevsk Oil and Additives Plant, measures are being implemented to conserve energy resources, including the rational use of water. Recycled water supply facilities have been built and commissioned.</p> <p>For many years, Rosneft&rsquo;s Samara Group of Enterprises has been carrying out consistent work to replenish the Volga basin&rsquo;s aquatic biological resources. In 2025 alone, almost 370,000 fry of valuable and commercially important fish species were released into the Volga.</p> <p>Oil workers at the Company actively participate in environmental initiatives every year to clean up coastal areas, rivers and springs, and to restore and improve natural water sources and the surrounding areas. These initiatives include &lsquo;Water of Russia&rsquo;, &lsquo;Green Spring&rsquo;, &lsquo;Springs of the Samara Region&rsquo;, &lsquo;Volga Day&rsquo; and others.</p> <p align="right"><strong>Department of Information and Advertising<br />Rosneft<br />May 20, 2026</strong></p> <p><img width="28" height="30" style="margin: 0 3px 0px 0; float: left;" src="/upload/site1/attach/0/10/17/unity.png" />Orenburgneft, Rosneft&rsquo;s key production asset in the Volga region, organised a large-scale trail run.

Over the past three years, the total has exceeded 215 billion roubles. These funds are being invested in major projects that benefit the environment, including reducing industrial emissions, improving water management and enhancing pipeline reliability.</p> <p>Rosneft takes a comprehensive approach to environmental protection and the sustainable use of natural resources. The Company adheres to the UN Principles and Goals for Sustainable Development and is pursuing a long-term environmental agenda based on the Rosneft 2030 Strategy. <img style="margin: 5px; float: right;" src="/upload/site2/attach/0/23/02/pic_19052026_10.jpg" />Key events and achievements, including those relating to sustainable development, are detailed in the <a href="/upload/site2/document_file/a_report_2025_eng.pdf">2025 Annual Report</a>.</p> <p>Last year, Rosneft approved the Clean Air programme to support Russia&rsquo;s national development goals and the federal project of the same name. The programme&rsquo;s primary objective is to reduce industrial emissions at 41 of the Company&rsquo;s sites across 13 cities. Furthermore, the Clean Water programme was developed and approved as part of the strategic objective to ensure the rational use of water resources, bringing together measures and projects to improve wastewater treatment quality at Rosneft&rsquo;s sites.</p> <p><img style="margin: 5px; float: left;" src="/upload/site2/attach/0/23/02/pic_19052026_7.jpg" />Considerable attention is paid to land remediation and waste management. In the regions where it operates, the Company has continued its efforts to remediate heritage sites damaged during the Soviet era. In 2025, 360 hectares of land were remediated, with around 80% of this work carried out by the Company&rsquo;s own environmental services team. Rosneft processed over 3.8 million tonnes of drilling waste and around 0.9 million tonnes of oil-containing waste in 2025, helping to reduce the volume of oil-containing waste from historical legacy sites.</p> <p>Rosneft places particular emphasis on biodiversity conservation. As part of the Tamura programme, which was launched in 2024 to conserve Arctic ecosystem biodiversity, a full-scale aerial survey of the Kara Sea subpopulation of polar bears was conducted for the first time last year. Just two years since the programme began, 10 research expeditions have been organised in collaboration with Russia&rsquo;s leading scientific institutions.</p> <p>With Rosneft&rsquo;s support, work also continued on other environmental projects. These included research into the Siberian musk deer population in Evenkia; a programme to monitor the Okhotsk grey whale population off the Sakhalin coast; studies of the Steller&rsquo;s sea eagle population in the Khabarovsk Territory and the white-tailed eagle population in the Samara Region; and a programme aimed at increasing the Amur tiger population. The Company has also expanded its work on conserving rare animal species by taking a foal into care from Russia&rsquo;s only semi-wild population of Przewalski&rsquo;s horses.</p> <p><img style="margin: 5px; float: right;" src="/upload/site2/attach/0/23/02/pic_19052026_8.jpg" />Last year, scientists summarised the findings of the Company&rsquo;s three-year, large-scale environmental project in the White Sea. The research confirmed the stability of the ecosystems and identified gaps in our understanding of the fauna. It also described species that were previously unknown to science.</p> <p>Drawing on many years of experience in biodiversity research and conservation projects, as well as scientific data, the company&rsquo;s ecologists have developed a standard corporate biodiversity conservation programme covering all regions of operation. This programme is the result of extensive work involving the compilation of a comprehensive list of significant species, including marine and terrestrial mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, fish, terrestrial invertebrates, zooplankton, phytoplankton and terrestrial plants, each with a detailed description.</p> <p><img style="margin: 5px; float: left;" src="/upload/site2/attach/0/23/02/pic_19052026_9.jpg" />Rosneft&rsquo;s subsidiaries regularly participate in forest conservation and reforestation activities, as well as various environmental campaigns, across different regions of the country. These include Green Spring, Forest Planting Day, Save the Forest and the international Garden of Remembrance campaign, which is dedicated to the memory of those who lost their lives in the Great Patriotic War.</p> <p>As part of reforestation initiatives across different regions of the country, around 8 million trees of various species were planted by Rosneft&rsquo;s employees in 2025. These initiatives took place in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area&ndash;Yugra, the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Area, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the Krasnoyarsk Territory, and the Tyumen, Saratov, Samara, Sakhalin, Tomsk and Ryazan regions, as well as in the Republic of Bashkortostan, Moscow and elsewhere.

The scale of the effort has delivered sustained results and established a foundation for further efficiency gains.</p> <p><img style="margin: 5px; float: right;" src="/upload/site2/attach/0/23/02/pic_13052026_08.jpg" />More than 56% of the total savings were achieved through optimisation of the mechanised production well stock. A central driver was the adoption of an advanced methodology for measuring oil content in produced reservoir fluid, which significantly improved measurement accuracy, enhanced production management and, as a result, reduced excess energy consumption.</p> <p>A series of remedial and zonal isolation works carried out on the mechanised well stock generated savings of more than 11 million kWh.</p> <p>As part of the modernisation of the company's reservoir pressure maintenance system, centrifugal sectional pumps were replaced at six cluster pumping stations. Commissioning of higher-efficiency units yielded electricity savings in excess of 8.9 million kWh.</p> <p><img style="margin: 5px; float: left;" src="/upload/site2/attach/0/23/02/pic_13052026_09.jpg" />A programme of replacements targeting electric submersible pump assemblies and asynchronous submersible electric motors reduced energy consumption by a combined 1.06 million kWh.</p> <p>Particular emphasis was placed on digitalisation and greater transparency in production processes. A proprietary monitoring system for water-intake wells was developed and deployed to provide real-time oversight of the reservoir pressure maintenance network. The tool enables regular analysis of pumping equipment performance, allows operators to track changes in pressure and injection volumes, and facilitates timely adjustments to operating regimes through variable-frequency motor control.</p> <div style="border-left: #7f7f7f 5px solid; background: #f3f3f3; margin-left: 15px; padding: 16px;"> <p style="border-bottom: #c2c2c2 1px dashed; padding-bottom: 7px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><strong>For reference:</strong></p> <p>Samotlorneftegaz is one of Rosneft's key production assets, operating in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous District - Yugra.

Across the country, in major cities and remote northern villages alike, hundreds of events are being held to commemorate the people's immortal feat.</p> <p>During wartime, the oil industry's role included supplying the Red Army with crucial fuel and lubricants. The remaining specialists, predominantly women and teenagers who had assumed the roles of the men who had gone to the front, discovered new deposits and started up factories, bringing Victory ever closer through their selfless labour.</p> <p>The Immortal Regiment, Candle of Remembrance and St George's Ribbon campaigns are supported by over 100,000 employees of Rosneft's subsidiaries across the country. The Watch of Memory campaign is taking place at production sites, with oil workers starting their shifts carrying portraits of their relatives who fought in the Great Patriotic War. Both shift workers and office employees participated in the initiative.</p> <p><img style="margin: 5px; float: right;" src="/upload/site2/attach/0/24/06/pic_08052026_4.jpg" />Today, employees of Rosneft are honouring veterans, home front workers and children of the war. This is being done by presenting gifts and food parcels to those in need, in some of the most remote areas of Taymyr, the Turukhansk District and Yakutia.</p> <p>Rosneft's creative and educational initiatives have successfully engaged children and young people in dozens of towns and cities, providing them with a deeper understanding of our country's history. In schools across Angarsk, Achinsk, Irkutsk, Moscow, Novokuybyshevsk, Orenburg, Saratov, Samara, Tomsk, Tyumen and Ufa, oil industry professionals are spearheading initiatives such as special Lessons in Courage, recitation competitions, quizzes, exhibitions and excursions that celebrate the heroic actions of the Soviet people.</p> <p><img style="margin: 5px; float: left;" src="/upload/site2/attach/0/24/06/pic_08052026_5.jpg" />The publication of The Immortal Regiment of the Kuibyshev Oil Refinery, a book dedicated to the refinery workers who served in the Great Patriotic War, marked a significant milestone. The book contains information about hundreds of heroic oil refinery workers who, upon returning from the front lines, built the plant and got production up and running. The book took over ten years to complete. As a result of thorough research, we have been able to ascertain the details of almost a thousand participants in the Great Patriotic War who were employed at the oil refinery. This book meticulously compiles the first and last names, ranks and positions, military and professional careers, heroic deeds and awards, and frontline photographs of these immortal heroes; their memory will be passed on to future generations.</p> <p>Across various regions of the country, oil companies have organised motor rallies featuring restored military and vintage vehicles &ndash; ranging from the legendary ZIL-131 lorry to civilian cars from the 1940s. The routes pass through areas where fierce fighting took place, and participants lay flowers at memorials to fallen soldiers and civilians.</p> <p><img style="margin: 5px; float: right;" src="/upload/site2/attach/0/24/06/pic_08052026_6.jpg" />The Company also focuses on the improvement of memorial sites &ndash; oil workers are tidying up war graves and obelisks, planting flowers along the Avenues of Glory, and restoring monuments to heroes of the front and the home front. Hundreds of volunteers from Voronezh to Krasnoyarsk are engaged in the restoration of memorial sites associated with the events of the Great Patriotic War.</p> <p>The festive atmosphere is enhanced by concerts at which participants in the Energy of Talent corporate festival perform popular songs from the war years &ndash; &ldquo;Smuglyanka&rdquo;, &ldquo;Katyusha&rdquo; and &ldquo;Siniy Platochek&rdquo; (The Blue Handkerchief). Guests can enjoy a field kitchen serving hot military porridge and fragrant tea with pastries. All interested participants are invited to take part in quizzes and win useful souvenirs, as well as taking some lovely photos.</p> <p><img style="margin: 5px; float: left;" src="/upload/site2/attach/0/24/06/pic_08052026_7.jpg" />Sports events brought together over a thousand oil industry workers, with marathons and relay races being held across the country. In Tyumen, the Victory Run relay race covered a distance symbolically representing the number 81, whilst in Izhevsk a cycle ride took place along sites of military glory.</p> <p>On 8 and 9 May, around 1.5 million St George's ribbons will be distributed to car drivers at Rosneft and Bashneft filling stations across the country. Visitors to the filling station can also look forward to festive programmes featuring songs from the war years, field kitchens serving &ldquo;frontline porridge&rdquo; and themed photo zones, as well as exhibitions of civilian vehicles from the 1940s.</p> <p>Preserving historical memory is an integral part of Rosneft's corporate culture. The Company organises and supports projects and initiatives aimed at preserving cultural, spiritual and national values.

The holiday was established by President Vladimir Putin&rsquo;s decree with the aim of preserving the unique cultures, traditional ways of life and livelihoods of indigenous peoples. Rosneft and its subsidiaries have sponsored events focusing on this theme in the regions where they operate.</p> <p>One of the key areas of Rosneft&rsquo;s social policy is the preservation of the national culture and traditional way of life of the indigenous peoples of the North. In the regions where the Company operates, its subsidiaries are developing infrastructure in northern settlements, building housing for the local population and supporting reindeer-herding families. They are also improving facilities and equipment in educational establishments, social services and healthcare facilities in areas that are traditionally inhabited by indigenous peoples.</p> <p>In the Leningrad Region, home to the Veps, Izhorians and Votians peoples, Rosneft&rsquo;s petrol stations hosted the &lsquo;Many Faces of Russia&rsquo; campaign. Volunteers from RN-Severo-Zapad informed motorists about the distinctive features of these peoples&rsquo; culture, national dress, way of life and traditions. Visitors to the petrol stations learnt about the indigenous peoples&rsquo; national cuisine through interactive activities, and were able to sample their baked goods in the Company&rsquo;s petrol station caf&eacute;s.</p> <p>In the Pskov Region, drivers were introduced to the culture of the Setos people. Motorists took part in a quiz about traditional Setos cuisine and attended a workshop on how to make the national drink, spiced pumpkin compote. They also learnt how Rosneft supports indigenous peoples in different regions of Russia. Participants received postcards featuring recipes for popular dishes of the indigenous peoples of north-western Russia.</p> <p><img style="margin: 5px; float: right;" src="/upload/site2/attach/0/17/06/pic_30042026_2.jpg" />In the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous District&ndash;Yugra, Samotlorneftegaz is implementing a variety of social projects, ranging from the promotion of reindeer herding enterprises to the support of educational, cultural, and sporting events organised by the region&rsquo;s indigenous peoples. This approach helps to preserve the traditional way of life while creating new opportunities to improve quality of life for the Khanty and Mansi peoples. Two major events took place with the company&rsquo;s support in 2026: a professional skills competition for reindeer herders in Khanty-Mansiysk and the national festival &lsquo;Day of the Ravens&rsquo; in Nizhnevartovsk. Projects to provide national villages and remote settlements with internet and mobile phone coverage are of great social significance. Samotlorneftegaz is also involved in improving the facilities of the Solntse National Theatre and the Torum Maa open-air museum of Khanty and Mansi ethnographic culture.</p> <p>In 2025, RN-Yuganskneftegaz, Rosneft&rsquo;s key production asset, was named a winner in the &lsquo;Black Gold of Yugra&rsquo; regional competition in the &lsquo;Cooperation with Indigenous Communities&rsquo; category. The oil company provided financial support to 166 families and indigenous communities. Such initiatives improve the quality of life for indigenous peoples in the north, preserving their identity, traditional livelihoods and crafts while fostering constructive neighbourly relations.</p> <p>With the support of RN-Uvatneftegaz, the revered ancient festival of the Khanty and Mansi peoples, the Day of the Raven, was held in the Tyumen Region. The festival marks the arrival of spring, the reawakening of nature, and the beginning of a new life cycle. The celebrations at the Uvas Mir Hot Ethnographic Centre (House of the Northern People), which was established with the support of oil workers, attracted guests from various districts of the Tyumen Region, as well as from Yugra and Yamal. The programme included theatrical performances and shows by folk ensembles, as well as a northern multi-event competition. RN-Uvatneftegaz has provided comprehensive support to the Khanty, Mansi and Evenki peoples of the Tyumen Region for many years. In recent years, the company has provided indigenous families with over 180 items of equipment, including snowmobiles, outboard motors, and petrol generators. Thanks to the support of RN-Uvatneftegaz, the &lsquo;Wealth of the Uvatskaya Taiga&rsquo; festival and traditional sports competitions are held annually.</p> <p><img style="margin: 5px; float: left;" src="/upload/site2/attach/0/17/06/pic_30042026_3.jpg" />In the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District, volunteers from RN-Purneftegaz and Kharampurneftegaz organised a music festival for the first time to celebrate Indigenous Peoples&rsquo; Day at the Kharampur Forest Nenets national village, which was built by Rosneft. Participants from Gubkinsky in the &lsquo;Energy of Talents&rsquo; corporate festival performed on the club&rsquo;s stage, and a quiz on national traditions dedicated to the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia was organised for guests at the festival. With the support of RN-Purneftegaz, academics had previously developed a unique set of teaching materials on the Forest Nenets language. This research formed part of the company&rsquo;s long-term grant programme, which is aimed at addressing social issues affecting indigenous peoples in the north of the country.</p> <p>With the support of RN-Vankor, a national celebration called Reindeer Herder&rsquo;s Day was held in the villages of Nosok and Sovetskaya Rechka in the Krasnoyarsk Territory as part of the annual EcoArktika forum. To celebrate the Day of the Indigenous Peoples of Russia, oil workers organised a concert for the residents of Karaul village in Taimyr. Winners of the Energy of Talents festival and national creative groups performed on stage. RN-Vankor&rsquo;s oil workers also supported grant projects for the publication of an illustrated album dedicated to the traditional art of the indigenous peoples of the North, titled Masters of Taimyr, and for the creation of a studio for the ancient art of bone carving.</p> <p>Previously, with the support of RN-Vankor, modern, two-storey residential buildings were constructed for the residents of Karaul village in the Taimyr Dolgano-Nenets municipal district of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. Oil workers in Krasnoyarsk are participating in the co-financing of a regional programme to rehouse residents living in dilapidated housing. So far, 67 families have moved into new flats and houses.</p> <p>A joint grant has been awarded by the East Siberian Oil and Gas Company and Slavneft-Krasnoyarskneftegaz for the implementation of the ethnocultural project, &lsquo;The Living Thread of the North&rsquo;. This project will celebrate the heritage of Evenki folklore, traditional crafts, and ornamental art, showcasing them in both print and digital formats. The illustrated album will depict the daily lives, customs and beliefs of the Evenki people, as well as the techniques of their master craftsmen. The digital version of the album will form the basis of an educational platform dedicated to the cultural heritage of the Evenki people. Timed to coincide with the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia, the project will make a significant contribution to strengthening inter-ethnic dialogue.</p> <p>Ahead of the Russian Indigenous Peoples&rsquo; Day celebrations in the Khabarovsk Territory, staff from the Komsomolsk Oil Refinery organised an Earth festival &ndash; &lsquo;Na Anyani&rsquo; &ndash; in the Nanai village of Verkhnyaya Ekon. Around 200 residents of Komsomolsk and villagers visited the ethnographic museum, attended an exhibition and fair of decorative and applied arts, and took part in workshops on making traditional souvenirs. The event concluded with a concert featuring Nanai songs and dances performed by local artistic groups. Anyone who wished to do so was able to sample fish soup made according to a traditional recipe.</p> <p><img style="margin: 5px; float: right;" src="/upload/site2/attach/0/17/06/pic_30042026_4.jpg" />With the support of Sakhalinmorneftegaz-Shelf, the &lsquo;Living Spring&rsquo; festival of national cultures is held annually in the Ulch District of the Khabarovsk Territory. The festival aims to preserve the unique culture of the Ulch people of Siberia and the Far East. The festival programme includes workshops on creating traditional souvenirs, tastings of traditional cuisine, and an exhibition of decorative and applied arts. There are also performances by folk ensembles.</p> <p>Having worked alongside the indigenous peoples of Sakhalin and the Khabarovsk territories since 2001, Sakhalin oil workers have supported various projects aimed at preserving the cultures and languages of indigenous peoples in the Far East. Thanks to the company&rsquo;s support, a series of textbooks on the Ulch and Nivkh languages has been developed and published for primary school pupils, a Russian-Nivkh audio dictionary has been produced, and dozens of books reflecting the rich culture of the indigenous peoples of the Far East have been published. A cartoon in the Nivkh language based on the folk tale &lsquo;The Shaman&rsquo; has been created for children for the first time.</p> <p align="right"><strong>Department of Information and Advertising<br />Rosneft<br />April 30, 2026</strong></p> <p><img width="28" height="30" style="margin: 0 3px 0px 0; float: left;" src="/upload/site1/attach/0/10/17/eco_s.jpg" />Rosneft, in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism and Health Resorts of the Stavropol Territory, has unveiled a new route for car tourists through the towns of the Caucasian Mineral Waters, entitled &ldquo;Threads of Tradition&rdquo;</p> Thu, 30 Apr 2026 14:33:00 +0300 https://www.rosneft.com/press/news/item/224126/ <p>Rosneft, in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism and Health Resorts of the Stavropol Territory, has unveiled a new route for car tourists through the towns of the Caucasian Mineral Waters, entitled &ldquo;Threads of Tradition&rdquo;.

By following this route, tourists will be able to draw inspiration from the history of this picturesque region, experience the sense of unity and solidarity among its peoples, get a taste of Cossack life, and immerse themselves in the intricacies of traditional costumes and local delicacies.</p> <p>The route extends for approximately 120 km, encompasses seven points of interest and passes through six Rosnet filling stations. The presentation of the driving route was held at one of these filling stations in Pyatigorsk on the Day of Russia's Indigenous Peoples. In addition, guests at the filling station participated in a quiz to commemorate the occasion.</p> <p><img style="margin: 5px; float: left;" src="/upload/site2/attach/0/24/06/pic_30042026_9.jpg" />The first stop on the route is Zheleznovodsk. Visitors to the Zheleznovodsk Local History Museum will find a wealth of history and culture from the renowned resort of the Caucasian Mineral Waters. The museum houses thousands of exhibits that tell the story of the town's rich past, its healing mineral springs, and the remarkable people who have left their mark on the region's history. In the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia, the story of the descendants of the Cossacks &ndash; the city's first settlers &ndash; is particularly relevant to study.</p> <p>The next destination is Pyatigorsk. The route continues at the M.Y. Lermontov State Museum-Reserve. The building has been preserved in its original state to this day and it was here that the poet spent his final days. His personal and commemorative belongings are also kept here. The museum also features exhibitions on the multi-ethnic history of the Caucasus and the region's culture. <img style="margin: 5px; float: right;" src="/upload/site2/attach/0/24/06/pic_30042026_10.jpg" />The Threads of Tradition route then takes visitors to the Pyatigorsk Local History Museum, which is one of the oldest in the region. The museum was established in 1903 under the title of the Museum of the Caucasian Mountaineering Society. This is the place to learn about the Karachais and Russian settlers.</p> <p>En route to Essentuki, tourists can take the opportunity to visit a Cossack farmstead. The guided tour takes place in a Cossack hut dating from 1902. The Nekrasov Cossacks family, descendants of the Don Cossacks who rejected Peter the Great's reforms and left the Don under the leadership of Ataman Ignat Nekrasov, extend a warm welcome to visitors. Life circumstances brought them to the Ottoman Empire, where they lived for a period of over two hundred years. Nekrasov Cossacks' culture was enriched with oriental influences, preserving the Russian customs and traditions of the pre-Petrine era, <img style="margin: 5px; float: left;" src="/upload/site2/attach/0/24/06/pic_30042026_11.jpg" />and creating a unique atmosphere.</p> <p>The third stop on the route is Essentuki. The V.P. Shpakovsky Museum of Local History in Essentuki is home to a collection of over 30,000 exhibits that document the history of the region from ancient times. These include everyday items from a Cossack village, a set of tsarist furniture, fragments of a porcelain iconostasis, and much more.</p> <p>The next destination is Kislovodsk. More information about the peoples living in the Stavropol Territory can be found at the Krepost (Fortress) Kislovodsk History and Local History Museum. <img style="margin: 5px; float: right;" src="/upload/site2/attach/0/24/06/pic_30042026_12.jpg" />The exhibitions will provide insight into the Nogai and Kurdish communities of Stavropol and their role in the region's unity.</p> <p>The final stop is the memorial museum and estate of N.A. Yaroshenko in Kislovodsk. This is the only surviving 19th-century aristocratic estate in southern Russia, and it houses a significant collection of paintings and graphic art. The paintings in this collection depict the daily life of the peoples of the Caucasus.</p> <div style="border-left: #7f7f7f 5px solid; background: #f3f3f3; margin-left: 15px; padding: 16px;"> <p style="border-bottom: #c2c2c2 1px dashed; padding-bottom: 7px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><strong>For reference:</strong></p> <p>Rosneft supports initiatives to develop domestic tourism.
