Russia: Life, Places, Moments. Photos from the main exhibition of the fall

The exhibition is called “Russia: Life, Places, Moments” and was organized by Russia Beyond The Headlines and MUO under the auspices of Sberbank in Croatia, the Embassy of Russian Federation in Croatia, and the company Parisienne. It aims to show modern Russia as it is, not glossed in any way, covering the diversity of the country's people, nations, climates, and eras. Each photo displayed at the exhibition hides a personal story behind it. All were previously published in the RBTH Multimedia section. / View of St. Petersburg from residents made of stone.
