So far, Russia has established 72 scientific and cultural centres in 62 countries to support international cooperation between Russia and foreign countries and encourage cooperation with the Russians living abroad.

In cooperation with the [[Embassy of the Russian Federation in Slovenia]] the exhibition ''In the Mirrors of Time. Peoples of Russia through the Eyes of Photographers at the Turn of the 19th–20th Centuries'' from the collection of the St Petersburg Kunstkamera was featured in May 2011.

A small permanent exhibit presents the work and life of [[Davorin Martin Matvejevič Hostnik]] (1853&ndash;1929), Slovene translator and philologist who lived and worked as teacher in Russia since 1880 and tried to popularise Russian language among Slovenes. Next to some literary translations he published the Slovenian-Russian and Russian-Slovenian dictionaries and a short grammar book of Russian language.
