New Year Tree of Wishes: children's dreams come true at the RUSSIA EXPO

The traditional All-Russian New Year Tree of Wishes campaign is taking place at the country’s main Exposition — representatives of ministries and agencies, politicians, heads of regions and other famous personalities fulfill children’s wishes. The action has been held annually since 2018 on the instructions of Vladimir Putin.

Chairman of the Government of the Chechen Republic Muslim Khuchiyev took nine wishes off the Christmas tree. 10-year-old Daniil from Kolomna wished for a game console, and nine-year-old Ivan from Irkutsk wished for an experiment kit.

Aleksey Russkikh, Governor of the Ulyanovsk region, got a ball with the dream of seven-year-old Peter from Zelenograd — the boy dreams of a bicycle.

Governor of the Kursk region Roman Starovoit took off the New Year tree a ball with a wish of 11-year-old Elizaveta from Makeyevka in the DPR, who dreams of a doll’s house. He also got the wish of his 10-year-old compatriot Semyon, who asked for a tubing.

During his visit to the Exposition on December 8, Vladimir Putin took three balls with children’s wishes off the New Year tree. Among them were dreams of a trip to the Hermitage, a trip to Baikal, and another girl wanted to try her hand at being a TV news presenter.

The International RUSSIA EXPO is the most important achievements of the country gathered in one place. Throughout the entire time of the exposition, guests will be welcomed with cultural and entertainment events, a rich business and educational program. The expositions of 89 Russian regions, leading federal agencies, corporations and public organizations are presented to the visitors.
