The National Centre RUSSIA welcomes lucky visitors of the exposition "My Belarus"

---

The National Centre RUSSIA selected lucky visitors of the exposition "My Belarus" in Minsk and awarded them a certificate for a family trip to Moscow, including a visit to the Centre and iconic landmarks of Russia. The award ceremony took place during the visit of the National Centre RUSSIA delegation to the "BelExpo" National Exposition Centre under the Executive Office of the President of the Republic of Belarus.

The gift was presented to Dmitry, his wife Natalia, and their sons Alexander and Pavel Baranovsky by Natalia Virtuozova, Director General of the National Centre RUSSIA.

"As a continuation of the beloved tradition of awarding visitors that started with the RUSSIA EXPO, we, together with our colleagues from 'BelExpo,' decided to recognize the guests of the exposition 'My Belarus.' We look forward to welcoming the Baranovsky family in March, when two major expositions will open at the National Centre: 'Journey Across Russia' and the architectural exposition. And, of course, we will show them what our country is proud of," said Natalia Virtuozova.

As the lucky winners shared, they love traveling. The Baranovsky family has visited Russia before, but they have not yet had the chance to see Moscow.

"We were a bit taken aback! We were just walking by, and then we were invited like this. We’re planning to visit Moscow in March, either on March 8th or a bit later, in mid-March, for the weekend," said Natalia Baranovskaya.

The family noted that they are delighted to visit the capital of the neighboring country and learn about regional achievements at the National Centre RUSSIA. The youngest Baranovskys, Pavel (10 years old) and Alexander (10 years old), expressed a particular desire to visit Moscow. The family plans to explore the Centre after the opening of the architectural exposition and the "Journey Across Russia" exposition to witness the beauty of the regions firsthand and, in a single day, travel to various corners of the country — from Vladivostok to Kaliningrad.
