The flame
of the All-Russian Family Hearth, lit on January 24 at the RUSSIA EXPO,
continues its journey through the regions of our country.

Kuznetsov family from the town of Saki, representing a famous dynasty, the
total teaching experience of which exceeds 200 years. From Crimea, the pieces
of the Heart of Russia went to Sevastopol and the Krasnodar region. In the
republic itself, the fire will be kept in the Simferopol Marriage Palace.
"We
simply admired the families of our Russia, so much courage, warmth, strength,
such unity of our country is especially meaningful and very important,"
said Tatiana Kuznetsova from Crimea.
