Seven of the kids came from Armenia's border villages, while the other three were children of war veterans. “The children participated in fairly high-level events, communicated with Chairwoman of the Federation Council Valentina Matviyenko, academician Albert Likhanov. Also, they visited museums, enjoyed city tours,” Chief Specialist of the School Management Department of Armenia’s Ministry of Education and Science Lilia Balasanyan said. According to her, it is very important that children from all CIS countries attended the event. Balasanyan noted that Armenian children were able to tear themselves away from all the hardships that the country experienced in this period. The children said that during the period from May 2 to June 2, they managed to visit the Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics and the Museum of the Great Patriotic War, stopped by the zoo, walked around the Red Square, visited the Tsarina's Golden Chamber, also having a chance to watch a ballet at the Bolshoi Theatre.
