What awaits you
From idea to implementation The project was conceived back in 1937, but the exhibition was opened only in 1939. What prevented the construction? What was the layout of the exhibition and how did it surprise you? You will find out the answers to these questions, see Oltarzhevsky's extraordinary plan and understand why Kaganovich considered it religious obscurantism. And two more plots will reveal the symbolism of the pavilions and the Mechanization Square
Each pavilion, each sculpture has its own story Over time, other legends about the exhibition appeared. I will reveal if there is a Golden Sheaf fountain at VDNKh. I will explain who was banned from smoking in the Georgia pavilion, what kind of memo was given to visitors and why the columns in front of the Culture pavilion groan. We will definitely decipher the names of the exhibition, and also discuss how M. A. Bulgakov wrote essays about her. Let's talk about the numerous sculptures of VDNKh: you will find a matryoshka doll, find out who was hiding in the folds of a collective farmer's skirt, and find out what the tractor driver used to hold in his hands from the arch of the Main Entrance.
