With a long history of World Expo participation, Russia expects its pavilion in Shanghai to polish its more modern image.
The Shanghai World Expo is the first Expo in 19 years that Russia has built its own pavilion. The pavilion´s design reflects traditional Russian architecture with Chinese influences.
The design of the Russian pavilion in Shanghai World Expo embodies traditional Chinese philosophies and could meet eastern people´s aesthetics, Levon Airapetov, the chief designer of Russian pavilion told Xinhua.
Russia will decorate its pavilion for the 2010 Shanghai World Expo like a fairy-tale panorama. On Tuesday, Russia unveiled its design with the theme "New Russia: City and Citizen." Most of the pavilions have now published their layouts and started construction.
