Rural businessmen, finalists of the "Young Rural Entrepreneurs" track, presented their products - honey, cucumber jam, onion marmalade. Young craftsmen, participants of the "Rural Art" project, held masterclasses where they taught the guests of the Exposition how to make wool toys and paint kokoshniks. A designer from the Altai region presented a collection of ethno-style clothing called "Village in Style".

"After a year of implementation of the "Human Resources for Rural Areas" program we see a lot of new young faces, who are developing in various spheres, developing rural areas. These lads are forming a large community of like-minded people all over the country who are not indifferent to the issues of rural development. Together with them we create new opportunities for our youth," commented Dmitry Pekurovsky, Russian Union of Rural Youth Chairman.

The career track at the event was presented by young agrarian specialists from agrarian universities. Students spoke about popular professions and opportunities for self-realization in rural areas. In addition, in the track zone "Rural Sport" anyone could test their strength together with a silver medalist of the Russian and world championships in kettlebell lifting from a rural sports club in the Kaluga region.

"Villages of the future with developed infrastructure, modern services, affordable transportation, interesting leisure activities are already actively appearing in our country. Within the framework of the work of the State Duma and the state program "Integrated Development of Rural Areas" we are trying to increase their number, create new initiatives, introduce measures of state support for villagers. We are also prioritizing the development of artificial intelligence and systems that will bring agriculture to a completely different level and will help attract young people to rural areas," emphasized Yulia Ogloblina, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Agrarian Issues and RURY leader.
