The holiday season is officially underway at the National Center ‘Russia’ in Moscow, where guests are invited to immerse themselves in the festive atmosphere.

As part of the festivities, the fair features a wide array of unique New Year decorations, including cotton and wooden figurines, lace and amber snowflakes, ceramics and toys made from jewelry resin embedded with precious minerals. Additionally, traditional Russian lacquered miniatures and Yaroslavl maiolica are also available.
Visitors can find beautifully crafted table textiles adorned with New Year motifs.
