Mrs. A.N., why did you choose San Marino as the Headquarter of the Foundation instead of Voronezh, the birthplace of the artist?
-Because I live here in Italy, very near to San Marino, who for me represents freedom, whereas the world’s oldest Republic. In addition I got great interest and political help from the San Marino authorities.

We are also working to create this relationship with Voronezh and work in harmony between San Marino and Russia.

Mrs. A.N., what is the goal of the Foundation Suskov?
-Unfortunately my grandfather could not exhibit his art out of Russia due to the Communist system of the time, now with the Foundation, I want to develop international projects of promotion and exhibition of his works and not only that, the Suskov Foundation aims to organize and carry out cultural events in different sectors, such as music, dance, festivals, meetings. Always with the intuition to create interchange between different countries. Everything starts from San Marino and we are open to consider high level proposals.
