The Russian Geographical Society has opened a shop in Moscow. Here you can find different items for travelers and researchers. The assortment meets the interests of one of the oldest geographical societies in the world: editions in hard covers containing stories about famous expeditions, diaries of famous researchers, and copies of ancient maps ... Many books have got contemporary versions. For example, the diary of Nikolay Przhevalsky is made in the form of a media guide: by pointing to a certain character with a code, you can hear the scientist’s stories about his journeys.

Both children and adults will enjoy a breath-taking attraction in the center of the shop – a binocular. Looking into it, one would think that he is standing near the Klyuchevskaya Sopka volcano or near the Valley of Geysers on Kamchatka.
