The foundation stone laying ceremony of the Multifunctional Cultural Centre took place in the administrative centre of Botuobuya village in the Tas-Yuryakh district of Yakutia. Rosneft and the Republic of Sakha signed a financing agreement for its construction at the IX Eastern Economic Forum.

Aysen Nikolaev, the head of the Sakha Republic, attended the ceremony and thanked the oil company for helping to implement the project, which is very important for the Republic.

Rosneft actively supports social projects aimed at creating favourable living conditions in the regions where it operates. The Company pays great attention to cultural and educational projects.

The centre will become the focal point of the village’s social and cultural life. The 1,533-square-metre building houses a cinema-concert hall equipped with ergonomic seating and state-of-the-art sound, lighting and video technology. The centre will also house an exhibition hall, a library, a reading room and a billiards room, as well as spaces for creative and folklore activities. There is a multipurpose sports hall for basketball, volleyball, mini-football and other activities.

The project also involves equipping the building with modern heating, water supply and ventilation systems. The building’s architecture combines modern solutions with national traditions.

Rosneft focuses on supporting educational, social, cultural and outreach projects in Yakutia. A new building for the Small Academy of Sciences, complete with a boarding school for 100 children, has opened in the village of Chapayevo in the Khangalassky District. The building was constructed and equipped by Rosneft. The Academy has become a hub for research and project activities involving schoolchildren from across the Far East region. A training centre called the ‘Factory of Oil and Gas Full Cycle Processes’ was established on the basis of the Regional Technical College in the town of Mirny for the practical training of oil and gas industry specialists.

In the village of Tas-Yuryakh, oil workers have created a comfortable environment for local residents by renovating the school rooms for robotics, 3D modelling and the school press centre. In addition, the school boasts a TV studio, a language laboratory, a history museum and a local history museum with exhibitions and educational displays, as well as a modern stadium and a children’s playground.
