The ceremony of handing over the icon-lamps with the flame took place on the exposition site, it was attended by Zhanna and Vladislav Fedorov-Ksenofontovs from the Republic of Sakha - Yakutia, whose marriage was concluded in November here at VDNH.

To the accompaniment of Yakut musical ensembles Gulun and Ennekeen, they handed over symbols of family prosperity to representatives of all regions of the Far Eastern Federal District.

"The first time we were at the RUSSIA EXPO in November, we did not have the opportunity to see the whole exposition. When we were invited for the second time, we saw all the pavilions in two days, and now we understand very well how important is the role of the RUSSIA EXPO and its events, including those related to the opening of the Year of the Family, for the country. The latter is especially pleasing, because the opportunity to build a strong healthy society is directly connected with the relationships within Russian families," emphasized Zhanna and Vladislav at the end of the ceremony.
