Vladimir Putin fulfilled the dream of a second-form girl who wanted to see Lake Baikal. Kristina spent several days at the lake with her parents, went on excursions to museums and to the riverhead of Angara. At the Baikal Museum, she took a virtual submarine dive to the bottom of the lake and learned about the origins of Lake Baikal as well as its flora and fauna. The girl shared her impressions of the trip with the President in a telephone conversation.
The President congratulated Kristina on the New Year and wished her success in her studies and sports (Kristina does sports aerobics and has achieved first junior category).
