Record-breaking strength and jewelry work: the Omsk region at the RUSSIA EXPO
Visitors to
the International RUSSIA EXPO witnessed the creation of the smallest replica of
the Angara rocket and the world record of a Russian bogatyr. All this was
presented at the stand of the Omsk region on the Day of the Region.
The Omsk
region spoke about its powerful industrial potential and its main pride - the
Polyot enterprise. The assembly of four different modifications of the Angara
rocket is being finalized there.
During the
Great Patriotic War, Omsk received more than a hundred evacuated factories from
the frontline regions and soon became a major center of metalworking and
mechanical engineering. One of the most powerful defense-industrial complexes
in the country was created there.
"Today there are over two hundred industrial enterprises operating in the region, including 16 large defense plants, whose capacities are fully loaded," - said the Governor of the Omsk region Vitaly Khotsenko.
The guests of the exposition witnessed the creation of a micro-miniature copy of the Angara launch rocket in the eye of a needle. A truly jewelry work was made by artist Anatoly Konenko. And Mikhail Shivlyakov, an Omsk bogatyr, set a world record - he bent more than 12 metal bars against his head within a minute.
During the all-Russian survey "What does the Motherland begin with?", people across the country are answering this question in their own way, opening up the innermost corners of their souls.
Souvenir nevalyashkas (traditional Russian roly-poly dolls), are attracting particular attention, with guests choosing them for their harmonious combination of Russian colour and traditional Chinese symbols.
Under the guidance of artisans, each guest made an unusual souvenir that can become either a personal talisman or a gift with a special story.
