Сегодня жителям княжества предложили посмотреть фильм "Плато Плуторана. Неприступная красота" о загадочном регионе Российской Федерации, по размерам сопоставимом с целой европейской страной. Суровый климат, тысячи озер с чистейшей пресной водой и бесчисленные водопады – такова неприступная территория, сохранившая места, куда не ступала нога человека.

Today the residents of the kingdom were offered to watch the «Putorana Plateau. Unapproachable beauty» film about the mysterious region of the Russian Federation, in size comparable to the whole European country. A harsh climate, thousands of lakes with fresh water and countless waterfalls - this is an impregnable territory, having preserved places, where no one has stepped foot.

Cote d'Azur for a moment was lit up with the magical radiance of the Arctic as well. The film «Franz Josef Land: The Archipelago of Thawing Permafrost» introduced the audience with the issues of restoring the ecological balance on the northernmost archipelago of the planet.
