Regional expositions at the RUSSIA EXPO are not only an opportunity to see our country in all its glory, but also to find out what interesting things are happening in its many different corners. For example, the Kaluga region is now announcing its International Film Festival of films and programs about space "Tsiolkovsky", which starts on April 12.

Many people associate the Kaluga region with space. After all, Russian cosmonautics was born here. So it is not surprising that guests are greeted by a photo zone with a cosmonaut. And it is also an invitation to visit the local festival "Tsiolkovsky", which brings together feature, documentary and animated films devoted to space. The festival program also includes performances, meetings with filmmakers and cosmonauts, masterclasses and lectures.

And you can learn more about how our compatriots explored space in Kaluga: at the K.E. Tsiolkovsky State Museum of the History of Cosmonautics. Among its main exhibits is the Vostok carrier rocket — it is a backup rocket for Gagarin's flight. In April 1961 on the Baikonur launch pad, it was ready for flight in case of emergency.

The main place on the stand of the region in Pavilion No. 75 is occupied by a technological copy of the famous art object "Universal Mind". By the way, it is also connected with space. After all, it expresses the key idea of Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, the founder of cosmonautics, that there is nothing more powerful than the human mind.
