Carlson stayed in Moscow for almost a week, devoting one day to getting to know Russia's achievements at the exhibition.

“We do this because it is our job. We are in the business of journalism, our duty is to inform people... Russia is the largest land mass in the world. 150 million people live there. There are more than eighty regions, different nationalities, religions, languages,” he is quoted as saying.

He inspected all 89 stands in Pavilion No. 75, which presented the achievements, cultural features and tourism opportunities of all regions of Russia, and also visited the expositions of the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Atom pavilion.

According to the organizers, Carlson was amazed by the scale and diversity of Russia, and much of the exhibition was a revelation to him.
