"The festival has become an essential part of the Khirino revival project and its branding as a territory with significant tourism potential. Our mission is to turn this location into something like a cluster of folk crafts and farming. An example of how one can 'reboot' a Russian village – socially, economically, and culturally," noted the organizers.

They also added that the "Voice of Traditions" festival is also a way to attract those who are interested in moving to Khirino – "to build a house, become a farmer, launch local production, implement educational or cultural projects, or simply live in these picturesque places, feeling part of the ongoing multi-century history."
