The best artists and creative groups took part in a grand concert to mark the end of the RUSSIA EXPO

---

On July 6, the International RUSSIA EXPO held a grand concert "Russia Never Ends" dedicated to the end of the Exposition. Unforgettable emotions and vivid impressions were presented to the audience by the best artists, musicians and creative groups. The headliners of the program were Grigory Leps, Oleg Gazmanov, Buranovskiye Babushki, Natalia Podolskaya, Alexei Vorobiev and SHAMAN.

At the same time, several venues were working for the guests at the same time - street spaces in front of Pavilion No. 1 "First in Russia — Land of Opportunity", near the fountain "Friendship of Peoples" and the monument "Worker and Kolkhoz Woman", and the Main Street Stage of the Exposition. The spectators could simultaneously watch the artists perform their best numbers on all stages at once. For this purpose, a special "cableway" was organized over the venues using a high-rise crane, along which a camera traveled, showing the guests of the Exposition a breathtaking bird's-eye view. Thanks to the huge video screens, it was possible to closely examine the performers' costumes, ornaments, musical instruments, and other details.

Yana Churikova, Valdis Pelsh, Svetlana Zeynalova and Timur Solovyov were the hosts of the grandiose show that covered the whole territory of VDNH and gathered an unprecedented number of spectators.

The audience saw a lot of interesting artists, bright moments, unexpected stories. And in between the concert numbers, the presenters summarized the Exposition, telling the guests about its scale in figures and facts, introducing them to the volunteers, tour guides and other Exposition employees. They also conducted mini-interviews with the "millionth" visitors who had come to Moscow again.

Many warm words about the Exposition were said by the concert's guests of honor - famous Russian sportsmen who became sports ambassadors at the Exposition. During all the days of its work they assisted in organizing and promoting the sports program, attracting young people to a healthy lifestyle.

In addition, the guests were told that on January 23 — the day when Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the start of the Year of the Family — the symbolic flame of the All-Russian Family Hearth "Heart of Russia" was lit within the framework of the Exposition and then delivered to 89 regions of the country. Now it acquires the status of an international flame and has already been handed over to families from Uzbekistan, the Kyrgyz Republic and the Republic of Armenia.

The concert dedicated to the end of the Exposition was shown live on the platforms of VDNH. The broadcast was also organized on Channel One: anyone from any country in the world can join in and watch.
