Magadan Region is taking part in the
Far East Street exhibition, which will start on 5 September on the embankment
of the Ajax Bay in Vladivostok. The region will present flagship infrastructure
projects and key areas of the local economy.
The main pavilion of the Magadan
Region is visually made up of three golden triangles, symbolizing the unity of
body, soul, and spirit. The triangle pattern is an ornamental element common
among the northern peoples living in the region, and the gold coating of the
pavilion facade is a reference to gold mining, the main branch of the Kolyma
economy.
Visitors will see scaled models of
major projects being implemented in the region today, primarily the Magadan Sea
Façade. The development combines the Morskoy garden, the shore protection line
of the Port highway, the New Scandinavia hotel complex, a yachting pier, the
renovated Magadan Sea Fishing Port, Mayak park, and the Premier public cultural
centre.
The administration will present
other projects as well: a new domestic terminal of Magadan airport with the
capacity up to 600 passengers per hour, Talaya recreational and health centre –
the only Russian spa resort beyond the Arctic Circle with healing mineral
springs and therapeutic mud, as well as the greenhouse complex on 1.5 hectares.
The Gorokhovoye Pole integrated
development project, a pilot for the Integrated Territory Development Standard
devised by DOM.RF together with Strelka Design Bureau and the Russian Ministry
of Construction, will be presented.
Visitors to the pavilion will also
get to see the famous Magadan Mammoth, a three-meter-tall replica of a celebrated
sculpture entitled Time. The five-meter-tall original by Yuri Rudenko was
installed in 2013 in Magadan on the shore of the Nagayev Bay. In 2022, the
sculpture won the All-Russian contest of the most unusual folk-art objects held
by TUTU.RU. The sculpture is also present on the top 90 locations to visit in
Russia in the summer of 2022 list, and in the top 10 places in the Far East.
The "skin" of the mammoth
is covered with metal parts and resembles a clockwork mechanism. The idea for
it came to the author at the mine, when he came across mammoth bones covered
with scrap metal. The sculpture imitates an ancient imperial mammoth that once
lived on the territory of modern Kolyma.
In the small pavilion of the Magadan
region, guests will see products with nuggets from the Russian Gold company of
the Kolyma Concern Arbat. It is the only holding company in the country that is
engaged in geological exploration, extraction of ore and placer gold,
production and sale of jewellery.
Active visitors will be able to take
part in master classes on gold panning and get prizes in the unique
Prospector's Luck competition.
“Magadan Region is a part of the
enormous Far East with its special climate, amazing nature, environmental
riches and Kolyma people who love their land. Every year Kolyma breaks records
in gold and silver mining. We supply the country with seafood. We develop our
social sphere. Our task is not only to create a competitive investment climate
but also to make Kolyma a place where people want to live and work. You are
very welcome here!” notes Sergey Nosov, Governor of the Magadan Region.
Far East Street will be open on the
waterfront of Ajax Bay at the campus of Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU)
for guests and participants of the 7th Eastern Economic Forum from 5
to 8 September. After the end of the Forum, the
exhibition will go on
until 11 September. Entry for residents of Vladivostok and other cities is
