This former Exhibition of Economic Achievement was at one time a permanent World Expo of the great glories of Soviet--and particularly Stalinist--rule. It began in 1939 as the All-Union Agricultural Exposition, a celebration of the fruits of Stalinist progress, and many of its most grandiose elements date from that period. Leave a Comment

Soviet Union was the pioneer of space exploration, having launched both the first satellite and the first manned flight, as well as building the orbital stations, pioneering "walks in space" and launching scientific probes to other planets, most notably Venus.
The achievements are showcased in the Cosmonautics museum at the entrance to the VDNKh exposition. The museum is housed at the base of the immense and poignant 100m high monument to space exploration. Leave a Comment Directions: metro VDNKh

This vast site of the Soviet exposition is a monument to the kitsch of Stalinist architecture. Each pavilion was designed initially to demonstrate economic achievements of Soviet republics, and thereafter they were grouped by industry or branch of agriculture. There was even a lavishly-designed pavilion showcasing pigs for example! In the center there is a golden fountain with sixteen female figures representing sixteen Soviet Republics. At the entrance is a famous statue of worker and peasant girl.
After collapse of Communism the site was left to fend for itself, and the result was shutting down its exposition and giving its space to shops. Nonetheless, it is still interesting to visit to study the architecture of the period. Leave a Comment Directions: metro VDNKh

they call this place '' V V Ts'' , there you have a building for each ex-republics of USSR. You can walk and walk and.......skate a lot, very pleasant. roads are wide. Also an amusement park, with......russian mountains, but they call them ''american mountains'' don't argue :-)). Les Moscovites aiment cet endroit, beaucoup de gens, mais tellement grand que rien n'y parait. Directions: metro VDNKh
