On July 8, at the International RUSSIA EXPO, an award ceremony was held for participants and organizers of the educational program, which the Exposition implemented in collaboration with the Russian Society "Knowledge". Anastasia Zvyagina, Deputy Director General of the Exposition, attended the event.

"I want to thank the entire team of the Russian Society 'Knowledge' - you are great professionals, true partners and friends. From the very beginning of the Exposition, we could rely on you - and you never let us down. Thank you once again - I look forward to further cooperation at the Russia National Centre”, said Anastasia Zvyagina.

There has never been an event like this Exposition in the world - it is a grand and outstanding project, noted Maxim Dreval, Director General of the Russian Society "Knowledge". According to him, the RUSSIA EXPO provided an opportunity to embark on a journey across Russia that changed perspectives on the country.

"The Exposition offered a view of life filled with love for our country, pride in its history, present and people, and a desire to develop, live here and contribute. This is a significant achievement. The Exposition is ending, but its legacy, in the form of future achievements by our fellow citizens, is already inscribed in the future pages of Russia's history by your hands - the hands of its staff who inspired the younger generation, made them dream, take pride and form new aspirations," said Maxim Dreval.

Over 1.3 million people from all regions of Russia became listeners of the educational programs. The broadcasts of the educational events on the Knowledge.TV channel were viewed 380 million times. The lecture halls recorded more than 70,000 minutes of educational and inspirational content.
