This autumn films shot with the support of the Russian Geographical Society are being shown in historical parks "Russia, my history" in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Makhachkala, Ufa, Kazan and Yakutsk. The films are about the cultural and natural heritage of Russia, key events in the history of this country, activities of famous Russian scientists.

What are the highest peaks of Russia, frightening and impregnable places of power and attraction for hundreds of travelers? What role did the fortresses play in the history of this country and how did military technologies of the past centuries work? Who cares about animals and birds in Russian reserves? Answers to these and other questions can be found in the films that will be shown by the Russian Geographical Society together with the Fund for Humanitarian Projects.
