New Year tree of the Pskov region: Pushkin’s lyrics and fairy-tale bas-reliefs
The decoration of the Pskov region’s New Year tree at VDNH features solid wood products — bas-reliefs and figures of fairy-tale characters, the magic bird Sirin and even a copy of the region’s coat of arms.
The decorators of the region also wanted to highlight the Pskov region as the ancestral home of the Pushkin family. Therefore, the decoration of the fir tree used landscapes of the Pushkin Mountains — the estates of Mikhailovsky, Trigorsky and Petrovsky.
And, of course, the fir tree was decorated with copies of Pushkin’s manuscripts — next year will mark the 225th anniversary of the poet’s birth. "I remember a wonderful moment… " — these world-famous lines of the poet were also written on the expanses of the Pskov region.
On the Main Alley of VDNH visitors are greeted by New Year fir trees, each representing a region of the country.
