Expocentre
The Expocentre Fairgrounds exhibition center in 2018.
The predecessor of Expocentre was the Division of International and Foreign Exhibitions in the USSR, which succeeded the Department of Foreign Exhibitions under the All-Union Chamber of Commerce of the USSR.[1]
In 1959, Sokolniki Park in Moscow hosted the first national exhibition of US industrial products, opened by Nikita Khrushchev and Richard Nixon. Exhibitions for other nations such as Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, and Romania followed.[1]
In 1964, Expocentre produced its first international trade show called Stroidormash (the Road-Building Machinery Show), which put on display new road-building machinery and equipment. It had been co-organized by the National Committee for Construction, Road-Building and Utilities Engineering under the USSR Ministry of Construction. [1]
During the next decades, it hosted events for other sectors of the Soviet economy, including Khimia (chemicals), Sviaz (telecommunications), Lesdrevmash (timber), Elektro (electrical), Neftegaz (oil and gas), and Inlegmash (textile).[1]
To accommodate more trade shows, a new pavilion was opened in 1977 on the banks of the Moskva River next to Krasnaya Presnya Park. In January the following year, it held its first show, Derevoobrabotka (woodworking).[1]
Nameedit
The company name Expocentre was registered in 1977, as the Agency for International and Foreign Exhibitions in USSR had been turned into the Expocentre Company (a National Company since 1980).
Timelineedit
In 1945, a new committee was set up within the USSR Chamber of Trade, called a Standing Committee on Exhibitions, and in 1947 on its basis a Department for Foreign Exhibitions (the Exhibitions Department since 1949) was established.
In 1969, the USSR Chamber of Commerce set up the Agency for International and Foreign Exhibitions consisting of the Department for Foreign Exhibitions, Department for International Exhibitions and other units.
In 1991, Expocentre became a joint stock company.
Drone attackedit
On 18 August 2023, Expocentre sustained damage to one of its walls by what Mayor Sergei Sobyanin says was caused by a drone that was shot down by the Russian military.[2][3] As a result of the drone being shot down, debris from the drone fell and caused the damage to the building. People in the nearby area report hearing an explosion.[2]
