One of the regions of the Ural Federal District, the Kurgan region, celebrates its 82nd anniversary today, February 6.

"The Kurgan region, created during the days of a major turning point — the Victory at Stalingrad — has inherited the genes of Victory. And it has itself become a symbol of Victory. A symbol of a decisive breakthrough. Just as 82 years ago, today it is tackling the most important tasks together with the entire country. Moreover, this year, the region’s contributions during the Great Patriotic War have been recognized at the national level. Kurgan has been awarded the title of 'City of Labor Valor.' Now, our Kurgan region has transformed from a nationwide symbol of depression into a leading region and a symbol of the fastest-growing economy, industry, wages, and incomes in the country. The gross regional product is growing at an accelerated pace. Housing construction is rapidly increasing. The volume of urban improvements is constantly expanding. We are quickly building and restoring our bridges, roads, utilities, industrial, and social infrastructure. We are growing and developing," said the Governor of the Kurgan Region, Vadim Shumkov.

The achievements and unique nature of the Ural Federal District will be showcased in the large-scale project "Journey Across Russia."

Visitors will learn about Ural mines, minerals, and gemstones from a famous character — the Mistress of the Copper Mountain. They will also discover the history of the ancient city of Arkaim and the specifics of Russia’s largest active marble quarry, "Koelginsky." With the help of AI, visitors will even be able to transform into a marble sculpture.Interactive models will introduce guests to heavy industry, mechanical engineering, metallurgy, and oil extraction.

The interactive exposition will open to visitors at the National Centre RUSSIA in early March. In just one hour, guests will be able to travel through all federal districts of the country.
