Moscow. VDNKh time travel to the USSR. VDNKh (Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy), and later VVTs (All-Russian Exhibition Center), is a grandiose exhibition of achievements of the national economy, which has been visited by every eighth inhabitant of the planet during its existence ... The history of the "Main Exhibition of the Country" began with the appeal of the II All-Union Congress of Collective Farmers-Shock Workers to the central bodies of the Communist Party and the government with a request to organize an All-Union Agricultural Exhibition in Moscow. The request was granted and the Main Exhibition Committee was established. To get the right to participate in the All-Union Exhibition, collective farms, state farms, machine-tractor stations, scientific institutions had to have certain indicators for 1937 and 1938, and the foremost workers and organizers of agriculture for 1938. Thanks to this condition, no other agricultural exhibition in the world had such a number of exhibitors. For the foremost workers in agriculture, one thousand large and two thousand small gold medals, three thousand large and fifteen thousand small silver medals were instituted. In addition, a Book of Honor was established, where each exhibitor was entered with an indication of his achievements. The All-Union Agricultural Exhibition also became a kind of contribution to the architecture of the capital. An entire exhibition city with an area of ​​136 hectares that has grown on its northern outskirts includes ponds, parks, experimental plots, 250 various buildings. Crops and plantings, which occupied about 20 hectares, represented the agriculture of the entire Soviet Union. About 600 varieties of various crops were sown in one grain plot. An amazing picture was the exhibition garden: about 10 thousand plants were planted in it. Among them - 600 varieties of fruit and berry crops, the richest collection of Michurin varieties. On the site of industrial and southern heat-loving crops, the visitor saw crops of cotton, rice, beets, flax, hemp, tobacco, kenaf, rubber plants, and hops. In total, 260 crops of over 3 thousand varieties were exhibited in open areas. The exhibition city in Moscow adorned the entire Soviet people with great love.
