There is an Assembly of Zabaikalye peoples. Good neighbourhood policy promoted by elder generation is supported by youngsters. “Multinational Zabaikalye” club which integrated leaders of all expatriate communities of the city and the region was created in Chita. Its main objective is to jointly promote tolerance and humanism in multinational society. The list of nationalities living in Zabaikalye is long and includes Armenians, Buryats, Tatars, Bashkirs, Germans and many more. All of them are citizens of Chita and are proud that Zabaikalye has become their home. They are young, ambitious and motivated… They have various origins, traditions and culture but they are united by a common strong commitment to the world peace. The multinational youth of Zabaikalye wants to create a society based on national equality and solidarity.
The club is also a regional branch of “Multinational Russia”. Hundreds of students and young teachers from all educational institutions will represent this association in the Zabaikalye Territory.
