When we created it, we dreamed that the exhibition would tell about our love for the Far East: Primorye and Khabarovsk Krai, Buryatia and Yakutia, Magadan Oblast and Chukotka. Today, when a lot of time has passed, to the question of whether we succeeded or not, I can firmly answer: we succeeded. This became possible thanks to the enormous work of people – those who live and work in the Far East. And of course, it is not only about “Far East Street”. The entire Far East is changing – cities and towns, new investment projects are being created, new hospitals, schools, kindergartens are being built, the infrastructure is improving. The Far East is becoming more comfortable and prosperous. We are doing all this thanks to the decision of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, who back in 2013 announced the development Far East a national priority.
