Built in 1939, the All-Russia Exhibition Centre, or VDNH, is a leisure park designed to showcase the socialist economy and lifestyle. It was intended to inspire the Soviet people and captivate the world. However, after Stalin's death, the opulence of many pavilions was concealed under aluminium panels, and many parts of the park fell into disuse. Slowly but surely, the place meant to commemorate the country's strength transformed quite into the opposite. Discover the turning point in the fate of this magnificent architectural complex and see hidden treasures revealed during VDNH restoration.
