eleven-year-old brother Roman and their mother, Natalia Yelshina.
"We
are from Moscow, we love to travel and prefer vacations in Russia. Soon we will

sure this trip will be memorable for us. It was a big surprise," noted
Natalia Yelshina.
The

invite everyone to visit!" said the Director General of the RUSSIA EXPO
Natalia Virtuozova.
During the
trip, the family will visit beautiful and significant places in Samara,
including the longest embankment in Europe, the Zhiguli Brewery, and the local

Russia, Shiryaevo, where the famous artist Ilya Repin made sketches for his
painting "Barge Haulers on the Volga". The next stop will be
Tolyatti, where the family will learn about the rich history of the city and
immerse themselves in its technological present. At the end of the trip, the
guests will climb Tsarev Kurgan and visit a unique healing spring.
The
