All friendship societies forming part of MSOD are also members of the Russian Association of International Cooperation (RAMS) and actively collaborate with the relevant government organization – Rossotrudnichestvo.

Primary objectives of MSOD:

  • Implement public diplomacy principles in international relations;
  • Contribute to expanding the international authority of Moscow as a metropolis that leverages unique scientific, production, intellectual and cultural opportunities;
  • Assist in deploying Moscow's program to support fellow countrymen living abroad;

Key activities to implement the objectives of MSOD:

  • Participate in the implementation of Moscow’s city-level target programs, such as patriotic awareness programs for young people (international social events for children and youth, summer courses, culture and sports festivals, etc.), families and children support programs (Muscovites contributing to the international movement ‘Family to Family’, etc.);
  • Support fellow countrymen living abroad. In particular, establish Russian language courses, libraries of Russian fiction and reference literature, cinema halls screening Russian movies, on the basis of foreign partner organizations and friendship societies; arrange trivia games and contests of Moscow and Russian history for the children of fellow nationals abroad; distribute books, magazines, newspapers, audio and video recordings giving coverage to various scenes of Moscow and Muscovites’ life.

The presidium of MSOD is comprised by politicians, public figures, diplomats, scientists and astronauts known both in this country and internationally.

The friendship societies – members of MSOD maintain solid partnership relations with non-government organizations from foreign countries (societies of friendship with Russia, associations of graduates from the former USSR/Russian universities, unions of compatriots, etc.). Leaders and activists of these foreign societies of friendship with Russia are for the most part well-known people of high social standing and influence in their countries (cabinet members, members of parliament, prominent figures of culture and science).
