The national pavilion and the regional pavilion are divided up and down, and the modeling is coordinated from master to slave, forming a unique landmark building complex. The Russian Pavilion of the Russian National Pavilion of the Shanghai World Expo consists of 12 towers and a cube suspended in the air. Its shape is similar to that of an ancient Slavic village, symbolizing flower of life, the sun and the roots of the world trees (lush Slavic oak trees).
