Ride a dragon and try on merchant costumes: new things the regions have prepared for Exposition guests

---

The international RUSSIA EXPO is always preparing something interesting for visitors. If you haven't been to Pavilion No. 75 for a long time, now is the perfect moment to stop by. There are new photo zones and activities that both children and adults will enjoy.

Mendeleev's suitcase appeared at the stand of the Tyumen region. Everyone knows this native of Tobolsk as the creator of the periodic table of chemical elements. But the famous scientist was also a master of suitcase making. Unusual craft helped him to distract from scientific works. Dmitry Mendeleev's suitcases were durable and were in great demand. Also, at the stand children can swing on a beautiful wooden horse, and parents can take spectacular photos.

The exposition of the Primorye region was also enriched with photo zones. You can make beautiful photos against the backdrop of sea waves or right on a dragon. This is how the region introduces guests to Vladivostok's popular sport — rowing on "dragon" boats. Several tens of thousands of people are already engaged in it.

A real library corner was arranged at the stand of the Krasnoyarsk region. Here you can get acquainted with the works of writer Viktor Astafyev. A small exposition was organized in honor of his centennial. And the Kaluga region arranged a small photo gallery dedicated to professional dynasties of the region in honor of the Year of the Family.

Those who like to dress up and get their pictures taken should visit the Nizhny Novgorod region, where guests can dress up in luxurious merchant costumes of the 16th century. Such outfits will definitely make the most spectacular photos.

Also, the RUSSIA EXPO is an ideal space for education. So don't be surprised if you see real museum exhibits. For example, at the stand of the Zabaykalsky region you can get acquainted with a dinosaur that lived in the region about 168 million years ago. Its name is Kulindadromeus zabaikalicus. It is a small dinosaur, about half a meter in height, from the group of Ornithischia.

And at the stand of the Ulyanovsk region, you can see Ichthyosaurus and its fossilized remains, as well as real ammonites, striking in their beauty. The exhibits were brought from the Undorovsky Paleontological Museum. This is the first museum in Russia created on a unique site of fossil fauna of the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.
