The assortment of Russian-made care cosmetics is also expanding. Entrepreneurs hold client days, during consultations clearly showing that Russian cosmetics can successfully compete with foreign products.
Special attention is paid to the theme of the upcoming Orthodox Easter. Thus, unique festive kulichi (Easter cakes) will be presented by producers from the Yaroslavl region. Figured chocolate from Udmurtia and Easter gingerbread from Tula region will be available together with them. Wicker items made of vine from the Leningrad region, lace textiles from the Kirov, Nizhny Novgorod and Lipetsk regions, ceramic Easter eggs from the Ryazan region, and other interesting ceramic items made by craftsmen from the Leningrad region will help to decorate kulichi into full-fledged gifts.

The very space of the Department Store is also being transformed. New visual solutions are based on a combination of blue, white and green colors, and the decorative design displays the role of the Department Store as a modern, stylish and original space that has no analogues. New shelves have already been placed in the shopping area, where it is more convenient to look at the presented goods.
The continuation of event activities at the venue is no less important. Throughout the spring and summer there will be masterclasses on various techniques of painting and lace weaving, painting expositions, presentations of museum crafts of Russia. Producers will introduce their goods to the guests, share their own skills and tell about the culture of their regions.
A number of special events will take place during the Easter days, including meetings with artists of folk crafts, masterclasses for making wicker baskets and souvenir Easter eggs, and music and educational programs prepared by various regions.
The first event to be held at the Russia National Centre, which is being established by the order of President Vladimir Putin, will be the International Science Fiction Symposium and Exhibition "Inventing the Future". The symposium will take place from November 4 to 6.
Tomorrow, the International RUSSIA EXPO will conclude its work. From November 2023 to July 2024, it was visited by more than 18 million guests.
Every day, for eight months, the RUSSIA EXPO delighted guests and gave unforgettable emotions.
