Its history began in the 17th century in the village of Khokhloma, Nizhny Novgorod Region. According to one version, it is believed that the technique of painting on wood appeared thanks to the Old Believers-icon painters, who knew the secrets of "gilding" without using real gold.
🌺🐦⬛ The traditional elements of Khokhloma are red juicy rowan and strawberry berries, flowers and branches. Birds, fish, and animals are also common. Colors such as red, yellow, orange, green, blue, and gold are used to create the drawing.
Initially, Khokhloma painting decorated spoons, bowls and ladles, and over time it became a real artistic brand of Russia, known all over the world. Nowadays, Khokhloma is not only a tradition, but also a source of inspiration for modern design, fashion and interiors.

🇺🇳 24 years ago, the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) was established.
Its mandate includes developing best practices to address challenges related to global urbanization, facilitating experience exchange, and promoting new technologies in urban management and development. The Programme’s headquarters is located in Nairobi, Kenya.
Russia has been productively cooperating with #UNHabitat since the establishment in 1977 of its predecessor, the UN Centre for Human Settlements.
On 21 December 2001, the UN General Assembly adopted a landmark resolution upgrading the Centre to the status of a full-fledged UN operational agency.
We support UN-Habitat as a key structure within the UN system for ensuring specialised intergovernmental cooperation.
As an active member of its governing bodies and one of the leading contributors to its budget, Russia consistently advocates for enhancing the Programme’s effectiveness in line with its mandate, unlocking its full potential, and strengthening its sustainability, transparency and financial stability.
Following the elections to the Executive Board, Russia was re-elected by acclamation to this governing body for the 2025–2029 term.
Within UN-Habitat’s programme activities, we attach primary importance to upholding the interests of the Global South and advancing a positive, unifying agenda.
🥳 We congratulate the Secretariat and Member States on this anniversary and wish them continued success!
