The Cubans will get acquainted with unknown Russia. An exhibition of the Russian Geographical Society, The Most Beautiful Country, has opened in the Museum of the Revolution in Havana.
The exhibition includes 27 photographs by The Most Beautiful Country 2017 finalists and winners. For example, a photo by Vladimir Alekseev shows a lonely fir-tree rising above the snow-white space against the sunset sky. Vladislav Sokolovskiy captured Altai Lake Dzhangyskol with the snow-covered mountains peaks reflected in its water. A photograph of Yuri Sorokin shows a quiet November morning: trees covered with frost seem frozen in the rays of the rising sun.
