The first images of the future "Russia" national center, planned to be built on the site of the Expocentre on Krasnaya Presnya, have appeared online. This grandiose project will become a new landmark for the city and replace the well-known "Russia" exhibition currently held at VDNKh. President Vladimir Putin signed a corresponding decree , emphasizing the cultural and economic significance of the new center.
Renderings of the project, presented on the Telegram channel "Stroyki — i dot" (Construction — and that's it), offer a glimpse into the future and a glimpse of what the new exhibition complex will look like.
The center is planned to host major events dedicated to the country's achievements in various fields, from science and technology to art and culture.
The project is being financed from the federal budget, underscoring its national significance. Within three months, the owners of Expocentre will be required to transfer the land where the current complex is located free of charge to the autonomous non-profit organization (ANO) "Directorate of the Exhibition of Achievements 'Russia'." This same organization previously organized the "Russia" exhibition and forum at VDNKh, demonstrating its high competence and ability to organize high-level events.
Expocentre's official website indicates that upcoming events are scheduled for August. The Fourth All-Russian Electricians' Convention will take place on August 16, and an international exhibition of automotive parts and maintenance products will be held from August 19 to 22. This will be one of the last major events at the current location before major construction begins.
The new center's architecture will combine modern technology with elements of traditional Russian architecture, creating a unique and memorable building. The undulating roof, adorned with patterns reminiscent of Russia's rich cultural heritage, will become the center's signature feature.
The National Center "Russia" is expected to become not only the capital's new cultural center, but also a major tourist attraction, attracting visitors from all over the world.
