The fairy-tale exposition of the Tomsk region promises to become one of the most popular, because it is based on the story "The Wizard of Emerald City" by Alexander Volkov, a graduate of the Tomsk Teachers' Institute. The exposition venue consists of three zones, each one connected with the cherished wishes of the main characters of the book - the Tin Man, the Scarecrow and the Lion: the Heart Zone tells about the regional developments in the field of medicine, the Mind Zone talks about scientific activity and the Bravery Zone is dedicated to bold, breakthrough technologies in various fields.

The center of attraction is the standup "About Siberia". Tomsk is a city of young scientists and students, and they converge in a real scientific battle! Its participants present their projects, and the victory goes to the wittiest. Another unusual event is the lecture "Old Tomsk - Investment in the Future", where visitors will learn about the connection between architectural heritage and the university city.

"The RUSSIA EXPO at VDNH is grandiose. It is the central exposition platform of our country - modern history has never known such a scale. And for all its grandiosity, the expositions are nevertheless accessible, understandable and interesting to everyone - both from entrepreneurs and scientists you can hear important and interesting lectures, learn everything about our country," - emphasized the Governor of the region Vladimir Mazur.

On the Day of the Region, the Tomsk region plans to set a gastronomic record by preparing a gastro-brand cake Tomsk weighing 45 kg. Everyone will be able to take part in its preparation. Another "tasty" lesson is given by Tomsk chef Anton Avramchuk. He prepares a snack "Siberian" from pine nuts, pine cake in a crispy tube with pumpkin-based cream, smoky venison and sauce of raspberry and cedar oil, as well as a taiga dessert from lingonberries, pine nuts, pickled pine cone, rosemary, honey or condensed milk.

Visitors to the exposition can also take part in a raffle of a four-day trip to the national tourist route "Tomsk - the Heart of Siberia" for four people and certificates for accommodation in a suite of a Tomsk hotel.
