GAZPROM Germania supported the festive encounter of two nations

The fifth annual German-Russian Festival took place in Berlin’s Karlshorst district this summer. The event served as an example of the long-lasting friendship and partnership between Berlin and Moscow. As a reliable partner and supporter of the largest festival of its kind in Germany, GAZPROM Germania GmbH presented the visitors a traditional as well as modern Russia.

 The German-Russian Festival had taken place from 10th June to 12th June 2011 at Karlshorst’s Trabrennbahn Racecourse and offered a diverse range of programme for those interested in culture, for friends of Russia and families. The entrance was free.

For sports fans, exciting dance shows, an international youth boxing match, chess tournaments and the thrilling Nikolai Bersarin Race at the racecourse were being offered. Like every year, football fans of all ages could enjoy themselves at the Schalke Fanpark.
