---

State Duma deputy Sergei Pakhomov participated in the opening of the "Journey Across Russia" exposition at the National Centre RUSSIA. In his speech, he emphasized the significance of the new exposition and highlighted that it allows visitors to see the entire country in a short time and to grasp the scale of the changes that have occurred over the past decades.

"The significance of the exposition is in its very existence. That's the most important thing. It’s a place where one can literally see all of Russia. We must understand that in the last 20–25 years, enormous changes have occurred. And we, living in one city or another, in a particular region, do not always realize the scale of these changes in our country," stated Sergei Pakhomov. 

The deputy paid special attention to the model of Sergiyev Posad, created specifically for the exposition. He emphasized that he was involved in its preparation.

"I had the opportunity to take direct part in this and to put a piece of myself into this exposition. It brings great happiness," he noted.

Sergei Pakhomov reminded about the project for the preservation and reconstruction of the historical appearance of Sergiyev Posad, which is being implemented in accordance with the instruction of the President of Russia. Last June, Vladimir Putin visited the city, where he was presented with the renewal project. The deputy stressed that the aim is to create a new appearance for Sergiyev Posad that can emphasize its status and spiritual significance. 

The deputy noted that he has visited many regions, but despite this, he was impressed by the exposition. According to him, it was created with high quality and with love. Sergei Pakhomov expressed confidence that he will definitely return to the exposition and urged everyone to take this opportunity to see Russia in its entirety.

The "Journey Across Russia" exposition at the National Centre RUSSIA allows visitors to take a journey across the entire country in one tour — from the Far East to Kaliningrad. The exposition includes eight zones corresponding to the federal districts, interactive spaces, and Gastronomic Rows. The project is designed to showcase the main achievements, cultural and natural riches of the country, and to inspire visitors to embark on new journeys.
