VDNH, Kiev: interesting about interesting

Psychologists say that we all come from childhood. With the same success, we can say that we all come from the Soviet Union. And no matter how the present generation tried to disown the legacy of the Soviet era - this is impossible. One of such traces of the past is VDNH Kiev.

The history of the creation of exhibitions of the achievements of the national economy

In the years of industrialization and intensive collective farm construction, despite the difficulties, the Soviet people were full of enthusiasm and faith in the speedy implementation of the idea of a communist society of general prosperity. Party congresses reported all about new and new successes. The idea of creating the Exhibition of Economic Achievements arose from the need to show in practice the already existing achievements of agriculture. Indeed, at first the exhibition was planned as a review of the experience of this field of the national economy, but then the concept was revised. VDNKh began to consecrate the successes of all branches of the economy. The first such exhibition was opened in Moscow in 1939, it still remains the largest exhibition center in the post-Soviet space. After its creation similar expositions began to organize and in other cities. One of them was Ukrainian VDNKh. Kiev, as the capital of the republic, became its location.

Organization VDNH in Kiev

Nine years passed from the decision to create an all-Ukrainian republican exhibition in 1949 before its opening. A considerable period even for that period. But it is explained by the capital approach to the organization of VDNH. Kiev for the construction of pavilions allocated a place on the territory of the former suburban farmhouse, with an interesting name "Red Inn." The best sculptors, architects and artists of Ukraine worked on the creation of an entire exposition town. VDNH became not only a place where it was possible to get acquainted with the advanced methods of management, but also to rest, to get aesthetic pleasure. Initially VDNH (Kiev) consisted of 10 pavilions, new ones were gradually opened. All of them were equipped simply amazingly and gave an opportunity to get acquainted with the peculiarities of various professions in the country. After the collapse of the USSR, the exhibition did not cease to function, although it changed its concept. Now it is "Expocenter of Ukraine".

"Expocenter of Ukraine"

To date, VDNH Kiev combines both economic functions and tourism. On the one hand, it is a cultural monument of architecture and sculpture of the Soviet period. Many buildings on the territory of the Expocenter have the status of historical monuments of Ukraine and are protected by law. On the other hand, dozens of exhibition halls are working at VDNKh, in which the country's achievements are demonstrated not only in the economic, but also in the scientific, technical and humanitarian fields. Expocentr's employees are professionals in their field, organize a presentation of Ukraine's achievements at various world exhibitions. Also the territory of the Exhibition of Economic Achievements has become a platform for the location of its expositions by representatives of near and far abroad.

Visiting VDNKh

On the territory of more than 280 hectares, only one third is built up, the rest of the space is reserved for parks and ponds. This fact alone explains why Kyivans and guests of the capital prefer to go to VDNKh (Kiev). Metro is the easiest way to get right to the Expocenter by going to the "Exhibition Center" station. You can also use the services of a fixed-route taxi: from the railway station № 726 and 458, from the bus station - 172, 156, 416, 515. From the ring road to VDNH there is a bus number 56. Kievers monitor the dates of various mass events on the territory of the Expocenter , Fairs and sports competitions. On average, more than one million people visit VDNKh in Kyiv annually, and this is a huge figure for the exhibition complex. About twenty specialized exhibitions are organized by the staff of the center every year, half of which are international. It is rather difficult for tourists to travel independently by VDNKh (Kiev). The exhibition center map and the navigation scheme for it are on the official website of Expocenter of Ukraine. Having familiarized with it in advance, you can really enjoy the rest here and usefully spend time.
