The main objective of the educational project is to involve students in dealing with archival sources on the history, theory and practice of Russian statehood, because the electronic collections of the Presidential Library involve over a million digitized copies of rare documents that make up the cultural heritage of our country. The event is also aimed at finding and supporting young talents, popularizing humanitarian knowledge among the youth.

It should be noted that during the entire existence of the interactive educational project - since 2010 - about 57,000 people have tried their hand at it, many of whom later entered leading universities of Russia.
