The main pavilion (House of Russia's Nations) of All-Russia Exhibition Center (VVTs) was built in 1954. It has a strong vertical 56 meter-high tower decorated with gold-plated cereal pattern shot up in front of the entrance to the pavilion. Bronze flags are flaunting over the facade columns and at the basis of the spire, and 6-meter sculptures of Tractor Driver and Female Collective Farmer (devoted to labor) are placed at the corners of the wide second-tier eaves.
The pavilion crowned by the spire with the star is rising to almost 100 meters high by ledges resembling steps of a gigantic staircase, hovering over the entire exhibition ensemble.
