Moscow's New Year tree: Moscow tea party against the backdrop of the Kremlin
Modern Moscow is an urbanized metropolis, and there are few folk arts and crafts left here.
All the bright and famous handicraft brands of Russia develop mainly
around the capital, in the territory of the Moscow region.
That is why
the designers of the capital's New Year tree made an emphasis on the main
architectural dominants of Moscow: stylized Kremlin towers, the building of the
Historical Museum, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior were placed on the tree.
The main theme of the New Year decor is the concept of "Moscow tea drinking": decorations that look like teapots, boxes with Moscow cake, cut cake figures, candies, pretzels.
On the Main Alley of VDNH visitors are greeted by New Year fir trees, each representing a region of the country. The RUSSIA EXPO is open from Tuesday through Sunday, Monday is a technical day. The most convenient time to visit is in the mornings and weekdays, but the exposition is open to everyone on weekends as well. All expositions and events are free of charge.
Host Alexei Slushchev and philosopher Konstantin Matsan discuss how ideas about human values have developed and whether they can influence our lives today.
In addition to souvenirs, a tea collection and healthy sweets, visitors to the Department Store showed particular interest in books.
