Achievements of the peninsula in culture and patriotic education, youth policy development, tourism and hospitality industry, breakthrough projects and agricultural potential of the region. The RUSSIA EXPO hosted the plenary session "Together into the Future: 10 Years of the Russian Spring", timed to coincide with the anniversary of the reunification of Crimea and Sevastopol with Russia. The session was moderated by Natalia Virtuozova, Director General of the ANO «Directorate of the Exhibition of Achievements "Russia"».

The day of reunification of Crimea and Russia has forever passed into history and became the starting point of a new era, emphasized the Head of the Republic Sergei Aksyonov.

"The decision of our President was based on the will of the people, on truth and justice. For Crimea it has been a decade of freedom and development. There are positive changes in all spheres: from infrastructure and industry to healthcare and education. The unique objects built over the past years have become symbols of a revived Russia - symbols of the power of our country. "Crimean Spring" opened the way to the return of the native Russian lands, marked the restoration of historical justice and the unity of the Russian world. All this was made possible thanks to President Vladimir Putin. He saved the peoples of Crimea from war and genocide. He constantly keeps his hand on the pulse of the changes taking place in the Russian Crimea. This is the key factor in all achievements. Thank you for Crimea - long live Russia," said Sergei Aksyonov.

For Crimeans and Sevastopol residents, the anniversary of the Russian Spring is one of the main holidays, said Sevastopol Governor Mikhail Razvozhayev.

"We have built dozens of social facilities: schools, kindergartens, clinics, hundreds of kilometers of roads. The Tavrida highway has been built, a cultural cluster on Cape Khrustalny, a yacht marina in Balaklava, a museum and archaeological park "Tauric Chersonese" are being built by order of the President. The city is developing and changing for the better, but it retains the main thing: its spirit and traditions. Ten years ago, Sevastopol became the pulse of Russia, its patriotic capital. And since then, we firmly know - when we are united - we are invincible," said Mikhail Razvozhayev in a video message.

In addition, 50 schools and kindergartens, 78 healthcare facilities have been erected and repaired.

"In 2015, thanks to government support, 150 hectares of vineyards were planted for the first time in 20 years. Also, for the first time in 20 years kindergartens and schools were built - there was no such thing before. The number of investors entering our region is growing every year. Over the past 10 years, the population has increased one and a half times. We have a breakthrough project for each sector of development," said Maria Litovko.

The life of the peninsula is maintained on conscientious, talented people, said the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Crimea Yuriy Gotsanyuk. According to him, over 10 years, wages on the peninsula have increased 2.8 times, unemployment has more than halved, and the poverty rate is falling.

Crimea is developing actively, there are very serious breakthroughs - in tourism, in agriculture, and in the economy as a whole. We have begun to revitalize entire industries. For example, the volume of aquaculture has increased by more than five times. The number of housing under construction is increasing, we are renovating transport and resorts. More than 1400 investment projects are being realized on the territory of the republic," said Yuri Gotsanyuk.

Large enterprises are being revived in the republic and Sevastopol - in particular, it concerns expert cosmetics produced by the company "Crimean Rose", founded about a hundred years ago. The company's products used to occupy about 3% of the specialized market - and now the enterprise is again becoming a showcase of Crimea. Now it processes about 10 tons of rose petals a year, said Ivan Gladun, CEO of the company.

At the end of the session, the republic handed over to each region a sapling of Crimean pine, which became a symbol of the "Russian Spring".
