(Minghui.org) On September 4-9, 2013, Falun Gong practitioners in Russia participated in the 26th Moscow International Book Fair, held in the All-Russian Exhibition Center.

The Falun Gong booth attracted a lot of attention from both the locals and international tourists. Practitioners displayed copies of Zhuan Falun in various languages, as well as informational displays about the benefits of Falun Gong and the Chinese Communist Party's brutal persecution of practitioners in China.

Many Chinese who had booths at the event were shocked by the informational displays depicting the communist regime's brutal treatment of Falun Gong practitioners in China.

At the same time, they could clearly see how tourists from around the world warmly supported Falun Gong, and how the guiding principles of Falun Gong—Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance—stood in sharp contrast to the violence of the communist regime.

Due to the Chinese Communist Party's control of the media and censorship of information, many people in China are unaware of the crimes committed by the regime against its own citizens. Deceived by the regime's slanderous propaganda, they are also unaware of the popularity of Falun Gong around the globe—people in over 100 countries currently practice Falun Gong.

The sincerity and kindness shown by Russian Falun Gong practitioners touched the hearts of many Chinese people at the event.

When practitioners demonstrated the five Falun Gong exercises on stage, a feeling of peace and harmony permeated the whole exhibition center, and people appeared visibly moved.

Practitioners also distributed copies of the Epoch Times' Nine Commentaries on the Chinese Communist Party at the event. Many Russians said that the Nine Commentaries clearly revealed the evils of communism.
