Christmas tree of the Republic of Mari El: A bear on guard and the magic of the vine
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.
The programme of the performers includes folk songs, lyrical compositions and original musical pieces.
The issue of introducing financial support for banks was discussed at the regular meeting of the Council of Participants and Users of the Payment Market.
The aim of the investment standard is to shorten the path from an investor’s idea to actual capital investment.
