This autumn films shot with the support of the Russian Geographical Society will be shown in historical parks "Russia, my history" in Moscow, 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.

Where in this country there are huge cemeteries of mammoths and traces of the ancient continent connecting Eurasia and North America? What is there in the Far North that attracts scholars and travelers, and how a drifting station works? 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.
