Hero of Russia, pilot-cosmonaut Sergei Ryazansky visited the exposition of Pavilion No. 1 organized by the Movement of the First together with the presidential platform Russia - Land of Opportunity.

Hero of Russia, pilot-cosmonaut Sergei Ryazansky met with children from St. Petersburg and together with them visited the exposition of Pavilion No. 1, organized by the Movement of the First together with the presidential platform Russia - Land of Opportunity. The children together with Sergei Ryazansky not only saw the exposition "The First in Russia - Land of Opportunities", but also talked to the cosmonaut during the tour and after it.

"The exposition allows to formulate, to realize what I really want, and whether I looked so far into the future - whether I saw myself in 20, 30, 50 years, what mission I actually carry in my life. And of course, this is the highest technological level. The exposition touches the soul - it is very modern, very technological, very beautiful and, in my opinion, very relevant. Because the most important thing for people is to have their own goal, their own dream. And I hope that this will help those kids who haven't made up their minds yet. I really liked the fact that my favorite space runs through the whole exposition," Sergei Ryazansky shared his impressions.

Among the questions posed to the guest were the following: what a future cosmonaut needs, what should be done by someone who wants to go into space. In response, the Hero of Russia gave advice that will suit and resonate with everyone who wants to achieve their goal: "First - you need to believe in your dream, second - to work, be able to wait and be patient, third - strive to be the best, aspire to be the first, to show yourself, and then everything you want will really work out".

Participants of the excursion also shared their impressions of the meeting with the cosmonaut and about the exposition "The First in Russia - Land of Opportunities".

"I absolutely loved the exposition, the way it looks - it's just gorgeous, the way it's done in an interactive format. I was really inspired - in the future I want to become a colonel and serve the Motherland," said Anna Revyakina from the Polytechnic College of Municipal Economy of St. Petersburg.

"I was overwhelmed with a sense of pride for my country: we have always been heading towards something and we will always reach heights, we will not stop at one thing," said Dmitry Kapralov, a student of St. Petersburg Technical College of Sectoral Technologies, Finance and Law.

It should be reminded that Sergei Ryazansky is the world's first scientist-commander of a spacecraft, candidate of biological sciences. He spent about 305 days in space during two space flights, went into open space four times.

"When you see a person who has achieved so much - real great heights and has done things that you might dream of someday - the feelings are overwhelming. You realize that you really can do anything, and you have an example of your dream in front of you. I want to be a person that can set an example for others. And our guest today - Sergei Ryazansky - is the one I want to learn something from, the one I am inspired by, because this is the man who has done something worthwhile - it takes strength, will, character and a great desire for your dream," shared Bogdan Polyakov, a student of St. Petersburg College of Management and Commerce.

Children and adults can visit the joint exposition of the Movement of the First and the presidential platform Russia - Land of Opportunity free of charge by pre-registering at expo.pervye.ru. Pavilion No. 1 is divided into eight thematic zones linked by the key concept: "a dream is the beginning of any discovery" - of oneself, inventions, society, country, and the future. Thanks to the application of modern technologies, visitors to the pavilion can experience the past and look into the future.
