RUSSIAN PRESIDENT PUTIN
MAKES A PITCH FOR
YEKATERINBURG
VLADIMIR PUTIN
Moscow, March 2000
Last year Russia made a bid for the 2020 World Expo to be held in Yekaterinburg. To help promote Russia's chances, President Putin made a video appeal in English, which can be seen here (with an HD option). It is dated June 2013; the photograph above was taken the day of Putin's first election.
The website for the Yekaterinburg bid is here.
Vladimir Putin said that surely it was time for Russia to host the World Expo, but in November it was announced that Dubai had won instead.
