BERLIN (Sputnik) — The festival was held under the motto "Russia and Germany – Building the Future Together." It ended late in the evening on Sunday. Despite a large number of visitors, the event went off without incidents, the organizing committee said in a press release.
Numerous pavilions showcased books about Russia, as well as information about the German Russian-speaking resources. The visitors were also offered to try traditional dishes of the Russian cuisine. The entrance was traditionally free of charge.
Training and competitions between the youth teams in karate, football and boxing were held on sports fields and at the Gazprom Sport Areal stadium. Traditional horse races in honor of Col. Gen. Nikolai Berzarin, who revived the race tradition in Karlshorst in 1945, were the event's culmination.
