The party of nine visited Dartmoor and had a tour of Exeter. Eight women and a man from the Russian city were welcomed at the Guildhall by Exeter's Deputy Lord Mayor, Councillor Kevin Mitchell.
The White Ensign Club produced a lavish luncheon as the group received a talk about the club, and learned about Devon's history and culture. Julia Upton, of the Exeter Twinning Association, said: “They were show our culture, and we raised funds for a Yaroslavl church which helps the poor and needy.”
