13 million guests visited the RUSSIA EXPO

On May 16, the RUSSIA EXPO was visited by the 13 millionth guest. It was Tatyana Yasyukovich. She came to the Exposition with her family: her daughter Anastasia Yasyukovich and her grandchildren — sixteen-year-old Vladislav and three-year-old Sasha.

Tatyana Vitalievna lives in Surgut and came to Moscow to visit her relatives. The anniversary visitor was congratulated at the stand of the Kirov region.

"I live in Surgut, I am on a well-deserved vacation, and I come to Moscow very often, as the family of one of my daughters and two beautiful grandchildren live here. And when I come here, I try to visit something interesting, and that's why it turned out that I am at the Exposition for the third time," said Tatyana Yasyukovich.

According to Anastasia Yasyukovich, she and her family like to travel by car around Russia.

"We absolutely love traveling — we try to go out every year, including by car. In the last four years, of course, Russia has become a priority — we traveled to a lot of places. But our routes have never been through the Kirov region, so we will visit it with great pleasure. Thank you very much!" Anastasia Yasyukovich shared her impressions.

 The family was congratulated by Natalia Virtuozova, Director General of the RUSSIA EXPO.
