The 13-millionth visitor to the RUSSIA EXPO was given a tour of the Kirov region
On May 16, the 13-millionth guest visited the International RUSSIA EXPO at VDNH. It was a resident of Surgut, Tatyana Yasyukovich.
Tatyana came to the Exposition together with her daughter and grandchildren - 16-year-old Vlad and 3-year-old Alexandra.
The family was given a two-day tour of the Kirov region, including the city of Kirov, which celebrates its 650th anniversary this year and is preparing a large festive program.
“The city's anniversary will be marked by a series of bright events. We consider it as the beginning of important large-scale changes in the region for many years to come, - emphasizes Alexander Sokolov, Governor of the Kirov region. - It is important for us that Kirov is associated with the richest traditions of Russia, a huge historical and cultural heritage, with comfort, tidiness, and hospitality”.
We would like to add that the family that received a tour to Kirov region was congratulated at VDNH by Evgeny Gabsamatov, Deputy Chairman of the Government of Kirov region. The youngest member of the family - three-year-old Alexandra - was presented with a doll from the Kirov toy factory “Vesna” (lit. "Spring"), known throughout the country.
During the all-Russian survey "What does the Motherland begin with?", people across the country are answering this question in their own way, opening up the innermost corners of their souls.
Souvenir nevalyashkas (traditional Russian roly-poly dolls), are attracting particular attention, with guests choosing them for their harmonious combination of Russian colour and traditional Chinese symbols.
Under the guidance of artisans, each guest made an unusual souvenir that can become either a personal talisman or a gift with a special story.
