A truly New Year's Eve story happened at the RUSSIA EXPO. Late in the evening, just before closing time, a note was found at the stand of the Federal Agency for State Reserves next to the Time Capsule box — a girl Nastya from Donbass decided to leave a message to herself in the time capsule for 10 years. She dreamed of a camera to capture her native land. Apparently, the note accidentally fell past the box.

The letter was so touching that it was decided to help the girl. It was not easy to find Nastya among thousands of children who come to the Exposition — the note contained only her first name, no surname or address. The Rosrezerv staff involved everyone they could, and the "handshake" theory worked. When Nastya received the gift, the girl's happiness was boundless.

"The exposition brought a lot of positive emotions. It struck me not only with its scale, but also with its atmosphere. Here you can learn about things that you have never guessed before. Everything is decorated for the New Year, creating a feeling of holiday. And, of course, the Exposition can become a place where wishes come true. I am very glad that a real miracle happened to me. Find time to come here, everyone can be in my place and get what they have long dreamed of", — said the heroine of our story.
