▪he modern history of the
Russian Grand Prix origi-
nates from October 9, 2010,
when negotiations with Bernie
Ecclestone, Head of FORMULA
1, resulted in the agreement on
conditions of the contract for
holding the World Championship
in Sochi. Subsequently, on Octo-
ber 14, 2010, with the assistance
of the Government of the Russian
Federation and in the presence of
Vladimir Putin, President of Rus-
sia, the Agreement was signed
between Omega Center OJSC
and companies of Formula One
Management Group for the orga-
nization of the RUSSIAN FORMU-
LA 1 GRAND PRIX. The contract
is designed for a renewable term
of seven years. On October 28,
2010, Omega Center OJSC con-
cluded a contract with TilkeGm-
bh&Co.KG for creating a design of
the highway.
The First Russian Formula 1 Grand
Prix in history took place on Oc-
tober 10-12, 2014. Its participants
highly appreciated the level of
preparation and organization of
the event. About 150,000 people
visited the Sochi Autodrom during
the racing weekend. At the annual
General Assembly of the Interna-
tional Automobile Federation the
debut Russian Grand Prix was rec-
ognized the best one in the For-
mula 1 Championship.

astronomic tourism is get-
ting more and more popular
among tourists every year.

It develops in the Krasnodar Re-
gion. The nature has rewarded the
Krasnodar Region generously with
favorable climate. Soft climate,
fertile lands, unique natural condi-
tions - that's what helps winemak-
ers preserve the harmonious taste
and amazing flavour of the amber
grape-vine despite the times. The
Krasnodar Region is a true heart
of Russia! It's not just a series of
visits to wineries, but an interest-
ing story about their history, a tour
across the vineyards and cellars,
introduction to the production
process, wine tasting, a chance
to talk to masters of winemaking,
a visit to wine therapy centres,
participation in theatrical perfor-
mances and many other things.
However gastronomic tourism of
the Krasnodar Region goes be-
yond winemaking. Annually all
kinds of gastronomic festivals are
held to gather together numerous
guests: there are festivals of wa-
ter-melons, peaches, viticulture,
festivals of traditional cuisine and
many others.
The championship takes place on the highway of the Sochi Autodrom
located in the Imereti Lowlands on the territory of the Sochi Olympic
Park.
