Heroes of fairy tales, road construction and growth of budget revenues: Pskov region at the RUSSIA EXPO
An important center of trade and industry and a real open-air museum. This is how the Pskov region presented itself on the Day of the Region at the RUSSIA EXPO.
According to Governor Mikhail Vedernikov, the region is among the top five Russian regions in terms of budget revenue growth over the past five years.

There is still a lot of work to do, and we have serious plans for development", — said Mikhail Vedernikov.
