Photos of the finalists and winners of the contest "The Most Beautiful Country" will travel across Russia. From February 4, everyone will be able to see the best photos in eight cities of the country in the frame of the photo exhibition "Multinational Russia". The exhibition tells about another reality hidden from the inhabitants of metropolitan cities.
For five years, the Russian Geographical Society has been holding the contest “The Most Beautiful Country”, collecting the best photos made by amateurs and photography professionals. These photos do not only convey all the beauty and diversity of Russia, but also reflect its history and national treasure.
