Berries and pine: Karelia presented its signature fragrance at the RUSSIA EXPO
When
entering the exposition of the Republic of Karelia, all visitors usually freeze
and smell something pleasant: it’s fresh, pine and berry fragrance. Karelia
decided that their exposition would not be complete without locally produced
"Karelia" flavor. Now it can be appreciated by the guests of the
RUSSIA EXPO as well.
"Guests
keep asking what smells so nice here? We tell them that we have brought the
fragrance of Karelia and Kizhi Island to the exposition. And everyone can
decide for themselves what our republic smells like", — said stand
representative Yulia Barysheva.
The appearance of Karelia stand attendants is also impressive. T-shirts, bomber jackets and neckerchiefs are decorated with fancy patterns based on national Karelian motifs.
The exposition is open from Tuesday to Sunday, Monday is a technical day. The best time to visit is in the mornings and weekdays, but the exposition is also open to everyone on weekends. All expositions and events are free of charge.
The National Centre RUSSIA in Yugra joined the historical re-enactment festival "City of Labour Valour: Living History".
This time, viewers will see an instructive story based on the fairy tale "The Magic Swan Geese".
Participants can look forward to a special gift from the National Centre RUSSIA — a nevalyashka (roly-poly toy) dressed as Cheburashka, one of the festival's mascots.
