The "Moscow Model" pavilion was particularly intriguing, where the participants gazed with genuine interest at the construction sites and recognized the buildings and residential complexes they had worked on. Had they not needed to move on, they might have lingered there for a while.
The construction materials pavilion also attracted the attention of the participants. A fascinating moment occurred on the VDNKh grounds during a festival of national Russian cuisines. Guests enjoyed taking photos with people in national costumes, which perfectly complemented the theme of introducing Russian culture. The tour was lively and engaging.
That evening, our guide gave a tour to employees of the business center located in the converted Stanislavsky factory. Although the area was familiar to the participants, as they passed by it daily on their way to work, the history of the area's merchants and coachmen proved new and captivating. The tour began at the Taganskaya metro station, where streets and alleys that usually go unnoticed were revealed in a new light. Many participants remarked that they would now view familiar places and buildings completely differently, discovering them from an unexpected perspective.
