On 3 October, Russia was represented at the Diplomatic Fun Fair in Lusaka.
The Russian stand was organised by the Russian House in Lusaka and was dedicated to three main themes: education, sport and Russian traditions.
🎓 The education section presented the Russian Engineering School and the Russian Government Scholarship Programme, giving visitors an opportunity to learn more about studying in Russia. Consultations on educational opportunities in Russia were provided practically without a break throughout the entire event.
🥊 The sport section featured the Punching Challenge project and chess. The digital punching bag immediately attracted the attention of visitors, while the Russian Engineering School and the Chess Club kept them engaged, with some visitors staying at the stand for an hour or even longer. At the chess table, players were constantly challenging one another, with games taking place throughout the event.
🇷🇺 The third theme was Russian traditions, represented through a display of Russian decorative and applied arts, showcasing traditional craftsmanship and cultural heritage.
The interest in the Russian stand remained consistently high throughout the eight-hour event. There was not a single moment when fewer than four or five visitors were present at the stand at the same time. Based on this continuous flow, the total attendance at the stand was estimated at no fewer than 2,500 visitors.
The Russian presence at the fair was also reflected on the main stage, where a creative group made up of talented young Zambians presented a performance for the audience.
The Guest of Honour, Evans Muhanga, Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Tourism, visited the Russian stand and even took part in the Punching Challenge, putting his punching power to the test.
