Why Russian Mosaica Heritage
We have become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic.
Different people...different hopes, different dreams." ~ Jimmy Carter

• Russian – Because all of the people in our
community, regardless of their country of
origin, can speak and understand Russian.
• Mosaica – Because our culture consists of
many colorful and bright ethnic pieces.
• Heritage – Because like the generations of
immigrants before and after us, we will
preserve our unique cultural heritage.
• Russian Mosaica™ Heritage Festival (formerly
Russian Mosaic) has been a part of the PECO
Energy Multicultural series on Penn's Landing
from 2003 through 2010; becoming an unofficial
birthday for the third largest immigrant
community in the Greater Philadelphia area.

Mosaica) has been a part of the PECO Energy Multicultural
series on Penn's Landing from 2003 through 2010;
