Embark on a flight aboard a spacecraft, explore the constellation of Alexander Belyaev and the universe of the Strugatsky brothers, learn about the most significant scientific discoveries of Russian scientists, master telepathic communication, and find yourself in the future. The National Centre RUSSIA invites you to the interactive exposition of the Movement of the First, dedicated to children — the main characters of our future.

The exposition "Time of the First" is an exciting journey into the world of discoveries, ideas, and dreams. Inside, the space is divided into several zones. Visitors first arrive at the spaceport, where they are greeted by Alisa, a character from the works of the famous science fiction writer Kir Bulychev. This guest from the future serves as a guide through the exposition, sharing fascinating insights. The effect of telepathic communication is created through an audio guide and headphones. 

Participants will take a spacecraft ride through constellations and the universes of science fiction writers. Alisa talks about their works, ideas, and dreams, encouraging visitors to reflect on their own aspirations and visions for the future of their Motherland.

From the spacecraft, visitors transition to a scientific laboratory, where beloved children’s characters — the Fixies — introduce the inventions of Russian scientists that have made the world a better place. These include the radio, artificial satellite, nuclear power plant, vaccines against COVID-19, and more. Visitors can also see prototypes of children’s inventions, such as a device for restoring hand mobility after injuries and an aid for visually impaired individuals to navigate their surroundings.

The final hall is a futuristic eco-space. Here, visitors can relax on cushions and enjoy the breathtaking views of nature that Russia is so rich in. This hall is dedicated to the future of Russia through the lens of ecology.

"I’m visiting this exposition for the second time. The first time, I came with my older daughter, who loved it so much that we decided to return and bring the younger one. It’s incredibly interesting and educational, with a brilliant concept and execution," shared Dmitri Ivanov from Moscow.

A wonderful tradition has developed at the end of the tour: guests share their dreams and wishes. Some dream of buying an apartment or becoming a master of sports in swimming, while others hope for the invention of a cure for cancer. But everyone, without exception, wishes prosperity and peace for their country.

The Russian movement of children and youth "Movement of the First" was established on July 20, 2022, to nurture, organize leisure activities for teenagers, and shape their worldview based on traditional Russian spiritual and moral values. It is possible to join the organization from the ages of 6 to 25. Membership continues until the end of school or college, while adults (including university students of legal age) can become mentors within the movement and organize activities.
