Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Konstantin Kosachev described Dagestan as the strongest region in Russia.

Kosachev is sure that all guests to the exhibition will be touched by it.
"These are the mountains of the astonishingly beautiful Russian region of the Republic of Dagestan, the 'pearl' of our country, and a region that, over the course of its millennia-long history, has earned the right, including through suffering, to be called one of the strongest regions of the Russian Federation, because representatives of hundreds of nationalities and ethnic groups live here,”
