A new thematic season - "Industrial" - has started at the Saint Petersburg stand. The Exposition guests will be able to get acquainted with the city's industrial history from its inception to the present day and take part in numerous masterclasses, lectures and scientific performances.

From March 26 to 31 at the St. Petersburg exposition, experts will teach visitors how to handle chemical reagents and paint porcelain products, tell them how to pierce a balloon to make a kebab and whether it is possible to hypnotize a whole classroom, show underwater drones and dancing robots.

The youngest guests will be able to play exciting video games, watch "scientific" cartoons, and take part in educational interactives. Also, anyone can test their knowledge in thematic quizzes with memorable prizes and gifts. And, of course, within the framework of "Petersburg Industrial" the audience will have creative meetings with star guests, such as Russian actor, composer and ex-soloist of the "White Eagle" band Leonid Lyutvinsky and singer, musician, actor, presenter and TV host Rodion Gazmanov. 

Kirill Polyakov, Vice-Governor of Saint Petersburg, took part in the official opening ceremony of the thematic season at the RUSSIA EXPO.

"Saint Petersburg is, first of all, an industrial city. Last year we celebrated 320 years since its birth, and this year we celebrate 320 years since the birth of St. Petersburg industry, because it was in 1704 that Peter the Great decided to build the first admiralty shipyards. Since then, St. Petersburg has become a city of great industry; in recent years, the city has developed radio electronics, pharmacy, and traditional industries. We have also made a big step in the development of unmanned technologies, today the first commercial transportations are carried out by our drones. The city has a lot of achievements, innovations. This gives a certain stimulus to education, the vast opportunities of which we are also demonstrating within the framework of "Petersburg Industrial". And, as the President of the Russian Federation noted at the meeting with the Governor of Saint Petersburg, the growth of industry in the city significantly exceeds the average Russian indicators," noted Kirill Polyakov.

The Vice-Governor of St. Petersburg drew special attention of the guests to the scaled-down replica of the Palace Bridge, presented at the stand of the Northern Capital: "From the point of view of our thematic season, this bridge acquires a special meaning, because this year we started the construction of the first drawbridge across the Neva River in 40 years, its main mechanisms and metal structures will also be manufactured in St. Petersburg".

As part of the opening ceremony of the thematic season, an excursion was held for the honorary guests of the stand, during which the main exhibitors of the Industrial season - Imperial Porcelain Factory JSC, Leningrad Metal Works, ROBBO JSC and others - presented their achievements and plans for the future.
