On February 4, the International RUSSIA EXPO welcomed its six millionth visitor three months after its opening. It was Dmitry Ershov from Moscow. He came to the Exposition together with his wife Irina and their children - 11-year-old Egor and six-year-old Lisa. The family has been living in the capital for four years - before that they lived in the Krasnoyarsk region and Khakassia. Dmitry himself was born in the Zabaykalsky region. He works in finance.

The guests received a gift from the ANO «Directorate of the Exhibition of Achievements "Russia"» and the administration of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Area - a trip to Salekhard for the main holiday of the peoples of the North, Reindeer Herder's Day. During the trip Dmitry Ershov and his family will go through the ceremony of crossing the Arctic Circle and receive personal certificates of polar explorers.

"It is very unexpected and unusual. We have never even imagined that we would become unique visitors. We had plans to come to the Exposition several times. Thank you very much for such a warm welcome - it is very nice that we will go to a new region," said Dmitry Ershov.

"Being at this Exposition itself is already pleasant - everything is very beautiful, well thought out. Many thanks to the organizers. It is very interesting, I liked everything very much," added his wife Irina.

The six millionth visitor came to the Exposition on a special day - exactly three months after its opening, noted Natalia Virtuozova, Director General of the ANO «Directorate of the Exhibition of Achievements "Russia"».

"Today we have a unique day - on February 4, the RUSSIA EXPO is exactly three months old, and we also have a joyful event - six million visitors! We are very grateful to all our guests. Yamal is a very hospitable region," Natalia Virtuozova emphasized.

A very rich program awaits Dmitry Ershov's family - they will be able to watch the reindeer sled races and the display of national clothing made of reindeer fur, taste local dishes and look at the beauty of the Arctic, said Deputy Governor of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Area Tatiana Buchkova.

"Reindeer Herder's Day was once considered a professional holiday that finalized the winter for nomads, but now it is a real festival where you will see a completely different Yamal," Tatiana Buchkova said.

The exposition crossed the threshold of five million guests on January 17. On that day, Polina Dmitrieva, a seven-year-old resident of Kataysk, Kurgan region, came to VDNH with her parents. The family was awarded a certificate for a trip to the residence of Ded Moroz in Veliky Ustyug with a personal excursion and a photo session.

On January 5, during New Year holidays, the four millionth visitor Daria Molodtsova from Tula came to the Exposition. Daria, her husband and friends received certificates for visiting the best wineries and vineyards of Russia and a tourist trip to the Krasnodar region.  The millionth guest - Svetlana Suleymanova from Penza - visited the Exposition on November 15 and received tickets to the ballet "The Nutcracker" and a trip to Moscow.
