Kherson became the first fortress and outpost in the South of Russia. It is precisely why history became the main theme in the design of the region's fir tree at VDNH. In 1787 the Taurida Voyage, unprecedented in the number of participants, was carried out.

In the decoration of the fir tree, you can trace the route of Catherine the Great to Crimea, spot her quotes and see little-known paintings from the Kherson Museum.

It was from Kherson that the creation of some of the largest cities of Novorossiya began. Nikolaev, Odessa and Sevastopol joined afterwards.

Craftsmen from Kherson also made stylized watermelons to maintain the southern flavor of the New Year tree. Kherson watermelons are one of the recognizable brands of the region, which is known all over Russia.
