One of the creative social programs of the activities of the RF Theatre Union is given especial attention. The program in question is the Program for the State and Public Support of theatres for children and teenagers, worked out in 2008. It was tabled at the government of the Russian Federation, which met it with understanding; it was placed under the personal patronage of then Russian president Vladimir Putin. In spite of the economic and financial crisis due to which many social programs were curtailed, this one has never been stopped. It is still currently in action.
