The RUSSIA EXPO was visited by 13-year-old Ksenia Mazneva, a resident of St. Petersburg, whose cherished dream was personally fulfilled by Russian President Vladimir Putin in the New Year Tree of Wishes campaign.

A few weeks ago, the girl sent her dream to the New Year Tree of Wishes. Ksenia wants to become a TV presenter. The President took her wish off the New Year tree at the RUSSIA EXPO and helped her fulfill it. Together with journalist Ekaterina Andreeva, Ksenia recorded a plot summary of the program "Vremya" in the virtual studio of Channel One.

Later, Vladimir Putin personally called Ksenia, interrupting an important meeting on national projects to do this. The President invited Ksyusha, her parents and two younger brothers for a tour of the RUSSIA EXPO, and so the family came to get acquainted with the expositions. Director General of the ANO «Directorate of the Exhibition of Achievements "Russia"» Natalia Virtuozova welcomed Ksenia and her family at VDNH. A sightseeing tour was organized for the girl and her family.

"Everything at the RUSSIA EXPO is very, very beautiful, cool, eventful! I can't even believe that everything is over so quickly, we have to leave today, but we will definitely come again sometime. I especially liked the last hall of the exposition in the Central Pavilion, where there was a dome that fulfills dreams. It was really, really beautiful! And when we heard the dreams of other children in our country, it even gave me the motivation to go for my dreams", — said Ksenia Mazneva.

Ksenia shared her impressions of her internship as a journalist with Vladimir Putin in a telephone conversation.

"I am very grateful to our President and the New Year Tree of Wishes campaign for helping me fulfill my dream. He is very kind and it is very pleasant to talk to him. On this trip I am collecting material for my blog in Dzen, I want to tell about my trip and I hope that my publication will attract a lot of likes. In the future I want to work as a journalist, but I haven't decided yet - either a TV presenter or a journalist who writes texts. I especially like to write about literature and art", — said Ksenia.

The girl has a limb malformation since childhood, but it does not prevent her from studying well and running her own blog.

The expositions of 89 Russian regions, leading federal departments, corporations and public organizations are presented to the visitors. The exposition will run at VDNH in Moscow until April 12.
