The Voronezh region has presented its exposition at the "Region-2030. The Platform of the Future" expo at the National Centre RUSSIA.  There, the past meets the future, and the regions’ history, culture and achievements come to life with new looks.

The main theme the stand explores is a journey along the Great Don, which is called the cradle of the Russian fleet. The "river of light", an artistic image of the Don, which was glorified in Cossack songs and became a source of inspiration for engineers and craftsmen, runs through the entire display.

The central showpiece is a replica of the legendary frigate named "Goto Predestinatsia" ("God's Providence"), the first battleship of the Russian Navy, built in Voronezh in 1700 according to the drawings of Peter I. "This ship was the first double-decker battleship created by Russian shipbuilders. In 2014, a historical replica of it was shown in Voronezh. The exposition where it was installed includes about 700 showpieces related to the life of the XVIII century’s sailors and campaigns they took part in," the tour guides of the National Centre RUSSIA note.

Visitors to the stand will also learn about other symbols of the region. Among them are the Kostyonki archaeological complex and the Divnogorye Museum-Reserve, the Voronezh Aircraft Factory, where the upgraded IL-96-400M is assembled, and the Chemical Automation Design Bureau, which develops liquid-propellant rocket engines. Novovoronezh Nuclear Power Plant became one of the first industrial nuclear power plants in the country, and the famous "Chernozem monolith" has long been recognized as the world standard of fertile soil.

Guests will be able to learn more about the region's rich heritage and its modern achievements at the thematic Days of the Voronezh region, which will be held at the National Centre RUSSIA from 9 to 14 September.
