The documentation of the exponentially increased restoration work in Moscow since 2011, live shows by craftsman in multiple crafts as well as a diverse programme of expert presentations and discussions yielded a great reception and praise by visitors.
The biggest show of all was given by the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation thanks to which the Moscow Kremlin, the Saint Petersburg Eremitage and Kizhi were present at the denkmal in Moskau. Russia’s Minister of Culture Medinsky honored the activities of Leipziger Messe in Russia and emphasized that denkmal Russia-Moscow is the only trade fair in Russia this year uniting architects, restorers and museum employees. „Germany is our number one partner” said Medinsky.
