«EXPEDITION-TROPHY 2012” – BASIS FOR THE NEW PROJECT “LEGENDS OF HOMELAND”

The 5th jubilee “Expedition-Trophy” was finished at 12 noon on March 8 near Belokamenny Lighthouse. The main goal of the project – to collect in every city the best of what is available in the country – was completed.

These are people, places, impressions, cuisine and music. “Expedition-Trophy 2012” was in Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Irkutsk, crossed the Baikal lake, experienced an earthquake, hummocks and ice cracks of the deepest lake. Then, the expedition stopped over in the new city of this millennium – Ruyan-city, then departed to Urals, Yekaterinburg, further to Kazan, Saint-Petersburg and Murmansk. In each city there were press-conferences, meetings with entrepreneurs and culinary presentations, where cuisines of each regions visited by the expedition were served.

The 8th of March in Murmansk was a sunny day. The SUVs lined up near the lighthouse, the helicopter arrived, music played, heroes presented flowers to enchantresses. Smiles and joy, that 17 thousand kilometers were covered again, sadness that two weeks of one more life is over…

2 SUVs, that covered the whole route fr om Vladivostok up to Murmansk, and some more SUVs that joined on other stages made the finish. After ceremonial finish participants and guests moved to nuclear-powered ice-breaker “Lenin”, wh ere the events were continued. It is worthwhile noting that in each city press-conferences were conducted in significant places. So in Murmansk, the ice-breaker was chosen not by chance – it is one of the Legends of Homeland, the first in the world nuclear powered surface craft.

Basing on the materials of this research expedition a book will be published and a movie released. And already next year, basing upon data collected by “Expedition-Trophy 2012” an international project will be prepared, which will unite entrepreneurs from all over the world.
