"The scale is impressive": participants of the "Routes of Victory" programme visited the "Journey Across Russia" exposition

---

The National Centre RUSSIA became the first stop on the route for participants of the tourism programme "Routes of Victory." During the guided tour, visitors explored the large-scale "Journey Across Russia" exposition, which showcases the cultural, natural and historical diversity of all federal districts of the country.

The exposition is divided into eight thematic zones, each dedicated to one of the federal districts — from the Far East to the North-West. Visitors can not only explore the key achievements of each region but also immerse themselves in the atmosphere using VR technologies, interactive installations and photo zones. The tour concludes in the digital "Heart Zone," where every guest can leave a message and share their impressions. 

One of the tour participants was Yelena Godunova from Novosibirsk — a winner of the contest held as part of the "Routes of Victory" project. When her relatives, Liliya and Nikita Lukyanovich from Belarus, found out about the trip, they decided to join the route.

"The scale is impressive. The expositions are well thought out, and each federal district is presented in its own unique way. Some locations are interactive. The children wanted to touch everything. Our youngest participant was thrilled — he was allowed to interact with some elements and play," Yelena Godunova shared. 

Liliya Lukyanovich travelled to Russia from Brest, Belarus, but she herself is originally from Siberia.

"I was very happy to learn more about my homeland, to see how vast, modern and rich Russia is in terms of achievements across all its regions. The entire exposition left a lasting impression," said Liliya Lukyanovich. 

The "Routes of Victory" project is implemented by the National Centre RUSSIA in cooperation with the National Exposition Centre "BelExpo" and is dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Its aim is to preserve the memory of the Soviet people's heroism, unite generations and spark interest in studying history.

As part of the route, participants will also visit the Kremlin, the Museum of Music, the Victory Museum, and other significant landmarks in Moscow and the Moscow region connected with heroic events of the past.
