Today every metropolitan district has its ownattractions - museums, parks or exhibition complexes. Get acquainted with modern art, go on a journey through time or just enjoy a walk in the woods - sometimes we just need a break from the hustle and bustle.
The city also has places for which Muscovitesovercome kilometers of traffic jams. In our review we will discuss a magnificent complex, the glory of which once rattled the whole country. The history, the results of the reconstruction and the most interesting places - we will tell you about what to see at the Exhibition of Economic Achievements in Moscow today.
The All-Union Agricultural Exhibition is the first name of the complex, which opened in 1939. During the war, the library and the exhibition were evacuated to Chelyabinsk.
Five years after the victory over Germanydecided to reconstruct, and only in 1954 the grand opening took place with a new, already familiar to us name - Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy.
The Soviet man never occurredquestions what to look at VDNH. The main pavilion housed an exhibition dedicated to the art of socialist realism, the achievements of culture and science, as well as technical innovations.
In numerous pavilions at the very beginning wereThe regions and republics of the USSR are presented, then they decided to organize the exhibition according to the branch principle and clearly show various areas of the national economy.
From the moment of the second opening up to the 90s, several reconstructions were carried out on the territory of the complex, but none of them benefited the ENEA. In the 90s, the situation became even more deplorable.
The remaining pavilions were easily handed over torental for retail outlets and warehouses. Literally, barbecues were opened at every corner, sweets were sold, and at the entrance Muscovites were pleased with the amusement park - no one controlled all this activity, and the area where popular achievements had been demonstrated had turned into a rather dubious place. People did not think about what to look at ENEA, the answer was obvious.
Only after the Moscow government has twoa year ago it became the only owner, the situation became clearer. Tents and stalls, advertising structures, verandas, illegal extensions - about 300 objects were demolished. Pavilions with a rich history were finally freed from trade.
Генеральная уборка, реставрация зданий и fountains, design of the pedestrian zone and bicycle paths, the organization of permanent exhibitions - today Muscovites and guests of the capital really have something to see at the Exhibition of Economic Achievements.
Как известно, заинтересовать взрослого человека much easier than baby. The history of the exhibition complex is unlikely to entice your children, and they will not understand the value of stucco facades with bas-reliefs. We will talk about the most interesting places in the complex.
