In order to take these photos, photographers had to rise up into the air or descend to sea depths, spend hours waiting for animals and birds or just find themselves with a camera at right time in a right place.
Not this is just to show all the beauty, richness and diversity of Russia’s wildlife, but also to draw attention to environmental problems and protection of rare species of animals.
The exhibition will run in the Zaryadye media center through May 20. Tickets are required.
