Expocentre

It owns and operates Expocentre Fairgrounds, an exhibition venue located in the Central Administrative Area of Moscow.

[1] In 1959, Sokolniki Park in Moscow hosted the first national exhibition of US industrial products, opened by Nikita Khrushchev and Richard Nixon.

[1] During the next decades, it hosted events for other sectors of the Soviet economy, including Khimia (chemicals), Sviaz (telecommunications), Lesdrevmash (timber), Elektro (electrical), Neftegaz (oil and gas), and Inlegmash (textile).

[1] To accommodate more trade shows, a new pavilion was opened in 1977 on the banks of the Moskva River next to Krasnaya Presnya Park.

On 18 August 2023, Expocentre sustained damage to one of its walls by what Mayor Sergei Sobyanin says was caused by a drone that was shot down by the Russian military.
