More than 1,000 people from all over the country became participants of the Dynasties of Russia contest, which started at the All-Russian Family Forum Dear  Loved Ones at the RUSSIA EXPO.  For several days families exchange experience, participate in masterclasses, share national recipes. One of the most popular nominations of the program is "Connoisseurs of the Motherland", where one can get acquainted with all regions of the country on one platform. 

The Dynasties of Russia contest is a special project for Forum participants, which unites all family dynasties and gives representatives of different generations an opportunity to show their creative abilities, share knowledge about their small homeland, tell about their family recipes and demonstrate their erudition. The contest is organized with the support of the Russian Society "Knowledge", the program More than a Trip, the art-cluster Tavrida and the House of Russian Cuisine.

The contest itself consists of five nominations: "Family Talent Show", "Connoisseurs of the Motherland", "Knowledge. 'Link between Generations' Game", "Family Recipes" and "Jack of All Trades". This program will allow the guests to better understand the cultural diversity of our country, appreciate the uniqueness of each participating region and support family art. At the end of the contest, ten winning families will be chosen in each of the nominations.

89 regions of Russia took part in the nomination "Connoisseurs of the Motherland". All families participating in the competition program will present their region. The main task is to tell vividly and colorfully about the sights and unique features of their region.

The Chelpanovsky family from the town of Polarnye Zori presented the Murmansk region to the forum guests. Their region's stand at the forum was visible from afar. Everyone could not only get acquainted with the polar region, but also see the northern lights in all its glory.

 "We are natives of the Murmansk region, hereditary Pomors," says Natalia Chelpanovskaya, "and the outfits we are wearing today were worn by our ancestors. My daughter is wearing a maiden image, and I am wearing the image of a married Pomor woman. Our grandmothers wore such outfits".

Denis Chelpanovsky, the head of the family, introduced the audience to the economic potential of the Kola Peninsula: "Our region is famous for cloudberries, fish, reindeer, 70% of minerals are located on the Kola Peninsula. We are famous for the world's northernmost nuclear power plant and the northern icebreaker fleet. Our family is interested in our native land, we often go on hikes, we like to travel as a family both in the Murmansk region and throughout Russia. And today, of course, we are a little bit nervous to represent our small homeland to the whole country".

The Republic of Crimea was represented by a pedagogical dynasty, which has been engaged in children's education for more than 200 years. The oldest representatives of the dynasty are sisters: Galina Loseva and Tatiana Kuznetsova came to Moscow with their husbands, children and grandchildren.

"217 years of pedagogical activity: teachers of history, mathematics, geography, Russian language, primary grades, head of the children's brass orchestra. And all this is our big family. And the men in our family gave a total of almost a hundred years to industrial activity - hydrogeological station. Today we have seen so many different regions, each has its own peculiarities, its own history, culture. This elation that we are experiencing now simply cannot be conveyed in words. Professional dynasties, families with many children are represented here, many of whom we managed to make friends with. Such an association of families from different regions is truly inspiring," shared Ksenia Sharankevich.

The Crimeans brought useful salts, herbs and other souvenirs from their small homeland as a gift to the guests of the forum.

The forum is organized by the Movement of the First, the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh), the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of the Russian Federation (Mintrud of Russia), the Russian Society "Knowledge" and the ANO «Directorate of the Exhibition of Achievements "Russia"» with the support of the Ministry of Education of Russia, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia, the Ministry of Culture of Russia, the Ministry of Sport of Russia, the Ministry of Health of Russia and the Federal Medical and Biological Agency (FMBA of Russia).
