Leaders of the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD), foreign representatives, and representatives of the Russian state will be among participants in planned events by the All-Russia Society of the Deaf early next month to mark its forthcoming 80th anniversary, a deputy minister said.
The WFD would hold a meeting in Moscow on October 1-2, its first meeting in Russia for the past 20 years, and there will be an international conference on October 3, also in Moscow, and a celebration and concert at the Church Assembly Hall of the Russian capital's Cathedral of Christ the Savior on October 4, Deputy Culture and Mass Communications Minister Leonid Nadirov told Interfax.
"The anniversary events will be an important step toward the integration of the deaf and hearing-impaired into active public life. This is one of the important elements of building a civil society in Russia," he said.
Moreover, "the international status of these events is an indication of Russia's high prestige among foreign organizations bringing together partially abled people," Nadirov said.
