Cultural and Natural Museum, Kenozero National Park; -cultural heritage sites of federal, regional and municipal significance; - forms of traditional and spiritual culture; -languages o f indigenous peoples o f the North. The national policy of the Russian Federation recognizes culture as the most important factor in the growth of the quality o f life, the key to dynamic socio­ economic development1. Approximately 2000 cultural heritage sites in the Russian programme area are under state protection. Monuments of history and culture are represented by the following groups: -architectural monuments; -archeological monuments and sites; -natural sites; -historical monuments and sites; -science and technology monuments; -regional exploration and development monuments: - international interaction monuments; -objects of tangible and intangible culture of indigenous peoples of the North. In accordance with Russian legislation, cultural heritage is to be protected and preserved. At the same time, due to the large number of sites and. in some cases, their geographical remoteness, a number of important cultural heritage sites require prompt measures for their restoration and preservation. The collection, documentation and study of objects of tangible and intangible cultural heritage for the Russian programme area are still relevant. The diversity of the cultural heritage of the Russian North is a result of historical interaction of different cultures. Northern cuisine, represented by traditional Sami, Nenets. Pechera and Pomor cuisines, has gained great popularity among tourists and restaurateurs. The Arctic menu specialization has become a business trend and contributes to the development of small and medium-sized businesses. However, knowledge about traditional recipes is not full and weakly systematized. At the moment there is only one Sami cuisine publication available in Murmansk Region2, as well as few publications on the Pomor and Nenets cuisines, and no publications are available on the Pechera cuisine at all. More research is needed to preserve the authentic Northern culinary traditions. Public spaces of libraries, museums and cultural centers have changed in recent years, and their functionality has expanded in favor of greater openness and accessibility to visitors. Now these are modem spaces focused on new forms of interaction: open lectures, films, public discussions, etc. Regional strategies support branded cultural events and products in cities and rural areas'. For example, the following events are organized in the Russian programme area: 'Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of December 24. 2014 No. 808 enacting the Fundamentals of State Cultural Policy :Patsiya E.Ya. The Kola Feast ^Resolution of the Government of the Murmansk region of 11.11.2020 enacting the State Program of Murmansk Region on Culture 27
