The National Centre RUSSIA welcomed anniversary guests of the International RUSSIA EXPO — the millionth visitor, Svetlana Suleymanova from Penza, and the 16-millionth guest, Natalia Yelshina from Moscow. They participated in a tour that introduced them to the richness of traditions, cultural legacy, and achievements of our country.

From the very start of the route, near the festive trees adorned with symbols of all federal districts, the guests were immersed in the diversity of Russia. Northern patterns, Ural matryoshkas and gemstones, and golden embroidery of the Caucasus — all these details showcase our country through its unique elements.

The tour continued in the "Library of the Future," where the guests rediscovered literary works and learned how science fiction writers envisioned the future.

"This is my first time at the National Centre, and I really liked it here. It is very modern and beautiful. I think children would find it interesting to visit the centre for a tour. Here, we see the connection between books, literary works, and real scientific discoveries. This is very important. And it’s significant that visitors can not only view items but also touch some of them," noted Natalia Yelshina

The visitors took a closer look at space food, sent a "greeting from space," dodged meteors in an interactive game, and even made wishes by placing their hands on a special pedestal in the "Hall of Inventions."

"You know, I was overwhelmed by my visit to the RUSSIA EXPO, and upon entering the halls of the National Centre, I was no less impressed — it’s just as amazing and educational here. I’ve discovered things I never even thought about. For instance, I was astonished to learn that not only Tsiolkovsky wrote about space but, surprisingly, Cyrano de Bergerac as well!" said Svetlana Suleymanova

The tour concluded in the "Legacy for the Future" hall, where guests explored paintings, installations, and sculptures by young artists from different countries. The visitors unanimously noted that the National Centre has become a worthy continuation of the RUSSIA EXPO. Here, guests find what made it unique: immersion in traditions, technological discoveries, and a vivid presentation of our country’s cultural legacy.

It is worth noting that Svetlana Suleymanova, the millionth visitor of the RUSSIA EXPO, received a pre-New Year’s gift — a visit to the "Nutcracker" ballet at the Bolshoi Theatre. This was made possible thanks to the ANO «Directorate of the Exhibition of Achievements "Russia"», the Bank of Russia, and the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation. The family of Natalia Yelshina, the 16-millionth visitor, received a gift trip to the Samara region. There, they were greeted by the acting governor of the region and the exposition organizers. This trip, just before the start of the school year, became a bright event for the entire family and left them with fond memories.
