12.07.2010

Some 2,800 children from 15 countries attended events to mark the 50th anniversary of Orlyonok, formerly one of the Soviet Union's most notable pioneer camps and now Russia's main children's center, RIA Novosti reports.

"This legendary recreational center, located on the Black Sea coast, annually gathers thousands of children from all regions of the country and from abroad. And I'm sure that for all of them a visit to Orlyonok becomes a truly lucky moment, a bright and interesting event," Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said in a congratulatory telegram.

Over 2,600 children from all Russian regions and some 200 teenagers from G8 and CIS countries attended events to mark Orlyonok's birthday, according to the camp's chief, Alexander Dzheus.
