The decor of the Penza Christmas tree is brightly dominated by the products of a unique art craft of the region - Abashevo ceramics.

Abashevo toys are one of the oldest crafts that have preserved the tradition up to nowadays. Since ancient times the craft was a family business. Children from an early age were involved in the work: from the age of 10 they were kneading clay, and at the age of 15-16 they were already making items, mastering the craft.

Three sheaves, which symbolize the wealth of the Penza land, are also used in the decoration. The sheaves are also displayed on the coat of arms of the region, approved back in 1878.

On the Main Alley of VDNH visitors are greeted by 89 fir trees, each of them representing a region of the country with its folk arts, crafts and traditions. And the 90th blue spruce represents the RUSSIA EXPO itself.

The International RUSSIA EXPO is the most important achievements of the country gathered in one place. Throughout the entire time of the exposition, guests can expect cultural and entertainment events, a rich business and educational program. The expositions of 89 Russian regions, leading federal agencies, corporations and public organizations are presented to the visitors.
