History of the Sokolniki Culture and Exhibition Center

Sokolniki Exhibition and Convention Center was founded in 1959. Let us repeat that he was the first among the complexes of such a plan in the USSR. The first exhibition was the US national "US Industrial Products". It was discovered by NS Khrushchev himself and vice-president of the United States R. Nixon. For many it was remembered by the pearls of these politicians concerning the American and Soviet way of life and the material solvency of the citizens of these countries. Later, a dialogue between Nixon and Khrushchev will be called "kitchen debates" - it was held in front of the "Modern Kitchen" stand of General Electric. But still more interesting at that exhibition was an unusual dome-shaped round pavilion erected on the design of the American engineer R. Fuller.

It is estimated that for the years 1959-1976. Sokolniki Exhibition Center in Moscow was visited by 19 million people! During this period, 56 exhibitions were held - chemical, printing, machine-building, automotive and geodetic. 1989 in the life of the complex was highlighted by the fact that the Moscow Fair was merged (it holds events in Sokolniki and now) and the German Glahe International. The result was the expansion of the range of exhibitions of the Sokolniki CEC.

2009-2010 - the time of large-scale overhaul of the complex. In the same years, pavilions No. 4 and No. 7a were erected. In 2011, Sokolniki Culture Center becomes a member of three organizations at once: UFI, AIPC (International Association of Congress Centers), Russian Union of Exhibitions and Fairs.
