Red bears guard the New Year tree of the republic at the country's main exposition. The bear is the main element on the region's coat of arms - a symbol of providence and strength, signifying also the forest character of nature.

The main craft of the Republic of Mari El - vine weaving - is also represented on the tree. The craft of making wicker baskets, trunks, and wicker boxes is widespread among the mountain Mari people living on the right bank of the Volga.

Stylized postcards with the sights of the republic are also displayed on the fir tree, and large red snowflakes depict characteristic ornaments of the region.

On the Main Alley of VDNH visitors are greeted by 89 Christmas trees, each representing a region of the country with its folk arts and crafts and traditions. And the 90th blue spruce represents the RUSSIA EXPO itself.
