A branch of the National Centre RUSSIA will open in Ryazan in the summer of 2025

---

The opening of the regional branch of the National Centre RUSSIA is scheduled for the summer of 2025 in Ryazan. It will be located at the Ryazan VDNH, which spans about six hectares. Visitors can look forward to the expositions "Past. Present. Future," the Department Store of Regional Brands, the local "Regional Cuisine," the "Achievements of Ryazan Region" gallery, and other attractions.

The branches of the National Centre RUSSIA are being created on the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin. 

The future sites of the Ryazan branch, along with representatives of the regional Government, were visited by the working group of the National Centre RUSSIA, which provides comprehensive support and methodological assistance both during the opening stage and later, when launching new exhibitions and projects.

"Today, the Ryazan VDNH is the only preserved and restored ensemble of the regional exhibition from the Soviet period, out of the 11 complexes that were once built. That is why it is best suited to convey the legacy of the RUSSIA EXPO. The task of the National Centre RUSSIA and the branches being created in the regions is to showcase the main achievements of the country, projects that will be implemented in the future, but most importantly, for our children and youth to take pride in their Russia," said Irina Tesleva, Head of the National Centre RUSSIA's Regional Interaction Department. 

Today, the Ryazan VDNH is a point of attraction for tourists, as well as for local residents, noted Artem Nikitin, Deputy Chairman of the Ryazan Region Government.

"On the instruction of the Governor of the Ryazan Region, Pavel Malkov, we have carried out extensive work on the restoration of the Ryazan VDNH, creating — or rather — recreating a vibrant point of attraction for both the locals and tourists visiting us, filling the historical pavilions with new, modern life. But, in general, for the territory of the Ryazan VDNH, this is only the beginning. This year, we are set to complete the improvement of the Young Naturalists' Garden, an adjacent part of our VDNH complex, and in 2026, we plan to open a congress hall, which will become a new feature of this location. It will house, among other things, a permanent exposition showcasing the achievements of our region. We will be able to implement this project thanks to federal support," emphasized Artem Nikitin.

Visitors to the Ryazan branch of the National Centre RUSSIA will be welcomed with educational and business programs, workshops, both permanent and seasonal expositions, children's zones, lecture halls, and areas for local cuisine. The new exposition space and cultural and community hub will allow residents and guests of the region to discover the achievements and potential of the Ryazan region.
