Russia occupies a large area in hall 17. I visited their booth on the Russian nation day, attracted by the announcement of a live satellite transmission from the MIR to the EXPO 2000. Unfortunately, that didn't work out. Instead, there was a combined fashion show: live on stage in Hanover and via live television in Moscow.As you will see in the pictures below, the booth offers a lot of exhibits concerning technology. Nuclear power plants, space stations, high technology everywhere. And you also get to buy original Russian souvenirs.
