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.
An interactive exposition titled "The Great and Mighty Russian Language" has opened at the National Centre RUSSIA.
On 7 and 8 October 2025, the National Centre RUSSIA will host unique culinary masterclasses as part of the programme of the "Inventing the Future" Symposium.
The event brought together 1,000 homeroom teachers and curators of secondary vocational education groups from 89 regions of the country and the city of Baikonur at the National Centre RUSSIA in Moscow.
