More than 120 thousand people attended the New Year's events on December 31 at the International RUSSIA EXPO. For them the chimes struck 11 times - according to the number of time zones of our huge country. The guests of the Exposition were residents of all 89 regions of Russia, including participants of the Special Military Operation and their families. Many of them had planned their trip to the RUSSIA EXPO at VDNH in advance.

People of different professions, families with many children and families of the SMO participants, volunteers and guests of the capital gathered at the Main Street Stage of the Exposition. Celebrating the New Year with each of the 11 time zones of Russia, one thing was felt - as long as we are together, we can overcome any difficulties.
