Because of economic and social factors and the pressure from new technologies, several elements of this culture are tending to become standardized and even to disappear altogether. The number of old believers, and therefore of experts in the knowledge and traditions, is in constant decline. While there is a real will to protect this heritage, as is shown by the creation of the "Semeiskie Cultural Centre" in the village of Tarbagatay, the weakness of budgetary resources places a severe limitation on the effectiveness of any action.

The plan makes provision for effective support for the activities of associations such as the "Semeiskie Cultural Center" as well as a series of legal and practical measures aimed at preserving, supporting and promoting the heritage of the Semeiskie. This plan therefore focuses on scientific research (study programs and conferences) the continuity of popular traditions (the creation of museums of history and ethnography, the awarding of scholarships and the introduction of elements of Semeiskie culture in the school syllabus), promotional activities (the celebration of festivals in the Semeiskie calendar) and a publication program (publication of academic studies and history textbooks).
