Today, the largest Cheburashka exchange in Russia took place on the Soul of Russia Square! 😍

During the morning show, festival participants from different countries presented Cheburashka to each other. In this case, photos convey emotions better than words!

We see how much joy the #WYF2024 mascot brings, so we created a festival sticker pack with Cheburashka! 🔙

We reviewed the chats and incorporated the most common phrases you use when communicating with each other. For your convenience, all stickers are in two languages, so you can share them with new friends from other countries.

❣️And that's not all! You can write in the channel chat which phrases are missing from the sticker pack, add the hashtag #stickerpackWYF and we will add them!

So many sporty and active people at the World Youth Festival! 😍

Yesterday, more than 1,500 #WYF2024 participants from dozens of countries came to the start of the race «Towards each other», during which they covered 4,600 meters on the track of Sochi Autodrom 🏃

The race united the whole world and proved the importance of uniting young people representing different countries, cultures, religions, and traditions 🌍
