10 million guests visited the RUSSIA EXPO

The RUSSIA EXPO was visited by the anniversary ten millionth guest: Konstantin Panfilov from Yaroslavl. He came to the Exposition with his wife Ekaterina.

"It is absolutely unexpected for us - this is the first time we have visited the Exposition, and have got such a surprise. I am very happy that it happened like this," said Konstantin Panfilov. "It's good that we arrived exactly at this time," added his wife Ekaterina.

Konstantin and his wife received a certificate from the ANO «Directorate of the Exhibition of Achievements "Russia"» and Rosatom State Corporation for a trip to Murmansk to visit the world's first nuclear-powered vessel, the nuclear-powered icebreaker "Lenin", and one of the universal nuclear-powered icebreakers of FSUE Atomflot. In addition, during the trip they will get acquainted with the famous Kola nuclear power plant. The family had never been to the Russian North before.

"This week is a very festive one for the Exposition: on April 4, we celebrated five months since the beginning of our work. Today, April 6, our ten millionth guest visited us. The secret of the popularity of the RUSSIA EXPO is that the whole Russia is making it, and all our participants are passionate about it. We unite the whole country and show what we are proud of. There is an atmosphere of love and pride here, and this is what attracts people. Any day now the Exposition will present a new large, unexpected, very bright spring-summer program. Everything is just beginning!" noted Natalia Virtuozova, Director General of the ANO «Directorate of the Exhibition of Achievements "Russia"».

A sightseeing tour of Murmansk and an excursion to the village of Teriberka will also be organized for the jubilee visitor. The organizers of the trip will provide the jubilee guest and his wife with accommodation, as well as pay for travel from Yaroslavl.

"The trip will be very interesting. December 3 this year marks the 65th anniversary of the raising of the national flag on the world's first nuclear icebreaker "Lenin". This date is considered the birthday of the nuclear icebreaker fleet. You will visit this historic vessel and the operating icebreaker. You will be shown the control systems, the headquarters of naval operations - and you will see how the fleet is managed. I am sure that such a visit will not only be a vivid memory, but will also change your life," emphasized the Director General of FSBI "GlavSevmorput" Sergei Zybko.
