Banner of Peace in Space

Now, at the turn of epochs, when there are so many wars, injustice and destruction, the idea of Nicholas Roerich about the Banner of Peace, a worldwide symbol of protection of cultural achievements of the past, present and future, is as timely as never before.

If we raise our culture and spirituality it helps us to

strengthen our economy, make politics be ethical and stop military conflicts. This is the true meaning of the Roerich Pact. The more time passes, the more urgent it becomes for the planet.

Banner of Peace

Space unites us all. Therefore, the Banner of Peace in Space is a symbol of union and cooperation among all peoples of the world for peace-building, creative endeavor and prosperity.

We raised the Banner of Peace over the planet in order for the space of Culture to permanently displace war and hostility from the planet. We call for the construction of a new spiritual, scientific and artistic cooperation among all people and nations of the Earth.

P. V. Vinogradov, cosmonaut
