“Books of Russia” Fair Organizing Committee is constant in its support of regional publishing. Therefore, all regional publishers have a possibility to show their production in specially arranged collective exhibits. The list of such exhibits includes a collective exposition of Russian regional and national publishers and an exhibit of professional training publications.

A state of reading reflects a situation in a society, and a state of children’s reading demonstrates a society’s attitude to its future. That is why the national fair program consists of numerous business events dedicated to the problems of children’s reading and books’ publication.

At the fair Russian publishers arrange a diversified and extensive program: presentations, “round tables”, meetings with authors. Within the fair many publishers traditionally invite the most popular authors, whose meetings become feasts of spiritual communication of book lovers and writers.

The national exhibition/fair is a very efficient test for the Russian publishing business, a chance to see the conformity of the Russian publishing to the international level and unite Russia’s book specialists into a commonwealth of real professionals.
