The VdAV-DSNP Coalition was elected on two terms. Bringing economic equality and a cultural revival. Cultural revival remains a powerful tool for any group of people. For Vrosnok, this has been met with many questions. Who are we after all? Nadiyan? Krivian? Something else entirely? VdAV has been particularly passionate about reviving the Krivian culture, and has wasted no time in bringing about measures to revive the Krivian culture. 

As such, for starters, the basic pillars. Education is a pillar of civilization. Without it, any nation is lost. Any culture is lost. While Krivian is the official language of Vrosnok, many are left wondering where it comes from. A language without a home is not a good thing. As such, the Krivian Cultural Fund will be created. It will focus on local artists, musicians, dancers, and providing them with support to revive the bread and meat of a culture. Furthermore, support for other contemporary creators such as cinema, literature arts, and visual art. These measures are basic, yes, but the starting steps to a cultural revival for small when such a task is colossal. 

To continue providing support, the Vrosnoki Public Broadcasting Channel will be created, with a special focus on Krivian documentaries, stories turnt into animation, and interviews with poets and traditional leaders. But what else is accessible en masse? Books! Books books books. As such, the state will fund reprintings for poets and authors. Alongside this, literature contests to create new forms of literature. Fun for the people and helps in reviving the culture.

But more can and will be done. As such, reviving the culture required looking to traditions. Festivals like the summer solstice, veneration of ancestors, and celebrating the end of winter. Alongside this, supporting traditional clothing. Clothing after all, carries identity. But it also means not forgetting the past. Museums will need to be well funded and supported. As such, the Volosgrad National Archive and History Museum will be created, and focused on developing the history of Krivian culture and helping in rediscovery efforts. 

There is always more to be done, but the state cannot spend itself into oblivion. For now, these efforts will suffice in laying the seeds for a Vrosnoki Renaissance. For now, we can only hope that this helps in countering apathy for good.
