The International Festival of World Music and Crafts "WORLD of Siberia" was held in its traditional place of Shushenskoye. 

According to the organisers, 81 thousand people visited the event. The Festival participants included 1.5 thousand ethnic music and dance performers, craftspeople, artisans and entrepreneurs from Russia, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Algeria, Armenia, Georgia, China, Cuba, Serbia and France. Masters from 30 Russian cities presented their best handicrafts at the City of Crafts fair. 

During the closing ceremony of the 4-day event, the jury chose the winners of the Festival's MIRA-2025 award. The Grand Prix of the ethnomusic award was received by the soloist from Moscow Irina Tereshina. The small celebratory "cup" went to the duet laboratory of instrumental music "Po Tu Storonu" that played balalaikas, accordions and horns. And the Grand Prix of the craftsman's award for patterned weaving was granted to Ekaterina Suntsova from Udmurtia. The chairman of the jury of the Festival, Sergey Starostin, spoke about the results of the competition:

— I believe I speak for most of the jury members when I say we were completely won over by the clearly well thought-out presentation: how exactly the performers would go up on stage, what they would speak of and sing about. Their stories also included respect for their teachers, grandparents, who laid the foundation for interest in folk tradition and folklore.
