Amid the process of globalization, Russia and Spain are developing and deepening their cultural ties and one of the areas of their humanitarian cooperation is the conservation and dissemination of the historical and artistic heritage of both countries. This article deals with the role played by the Collection of the Russian Museum in the city of Malaga in the popularization of Russian culture and history in the Spanish territory through various exhibitions, conferences, as well as several digital resources. The institution has consolidated itself not only as a place where Russian artists' works are exhibited, but also as an important cultural and educational centre, opening up the culture of the Slavic country to the local population; Russian emigrants themselves, enabling them to preserve their cultural and linguistic identity; and tourists from various countries.
