Humanitarian expertise in higher medical education from the perspective of implementing the decree the President of the Russian Federation No. 809

The Forum of Civil Initiatives “Russia 809” was held in St. Petersburg on July 28–30, 2024. In order to understand the full importance and social significance of this event, you need to go back a little bit. In 2014, Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 808 dated December 24, 2014 “On Approval of the Fundamentals of State Cultural Policy” (Collection of Legislation of the Russian Federation, 2014, No. 52, Article 7753) was published. The events taking place in the world forced us to return to some, not to say “many”, provisions of this document and seriously supplement it. This was done in two documents: Decree of the President of Russia “On Approval of the Foundations of State Policy for the Preservation and Strengthening of Traditional Russian Spiritual and Moral Values” dated November 9, 2022 No. 809 and Decree of the President of the Russian Federation “On Amendments to the Foundations of State Cultural Policy approved by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated December 24, 2014 No.808” dated January 25, 2023 No. 35.
